MODERN FRENCH TRAGEDY.
How q Pair of Paris Lovers Attempt-
ed to End Their Unhappy
Existence.

French tragedy in these degenerate
days is seldom without its flavor OF
burlesque or opera bouffe. Take the
recent case of the Partisan Romeo ana
Juliet. Georges Navian and Marie
Machine are about the age of the I'M
mortal lovers of Verona, and feud
divides their houses. They determined
TO carry out the likeness 10 the end.
The first time every requisite for the
tragic denoument was prepared.
Georges had provided pistols. and the
occasion was to be walk in de-
serted garden al nightfall. When the
final crisis was at hand, however, the
pair found they had omitted TO pro-
vide themselves with sufficient forth
tude on this first occasion to carry out
their foolish project. Nothing 10th.
they determined upon making sec
ond attempt.
This time a well-known recipe for in.
stilling artificial bravery was put into
use. Hoping to compensate with
Dutch courage his natural lack of
valor, Navian drank quantity of
brandy, and took up a pistol to shoot
his betrothed. Again his nerve failed
him. Still undeterred, Navian imbibed
more brandy. Having at las: screwed
his courage up to the sticking place
by these artificial means, he leveled his
weapon at Marie Machine, this time
with serious results. He fired and
wounded her in the forehead. Sud
denly, aghast at what he had done,
he threw the pistol away instead of
pointing ii at himself, and shouted
Justify for help. Fortunately. the
boys hand appears to have shaken,
possibly under the influence of drink
when he took aim at Marie Machine,
and the life of the latter was spared.

HOW CANYONS WERE FORMED,
The Deep GuIlies Are Due to the Ac-
ton of Rivers Through Count
less Ages

The secret of the great denudation
and of this wonderful achievement of
the Colorado in carving out of rock
series of canyons about 500 miles
long, and, in one place at least, more
than mile deep, with a multitude of
tributary chasms and gorges, is very
simple, when you know Ii, SAYS Har-
Der's Magazine. The old lake bed
slowly rose. At first the Colorado river
and It's tributaries, or some nameless
nonstrous ancestor of these, sweep
ing over the slowly rising surfaces.
llaned them down in most relentless
fashion, and then began wearing out
broad shallow stream beds. But then
the country rose more rapidly, and the
water had to cut deeper channels in
the rocks in order to get out and away
to sea. Owing in part to the wear
of the water itself, but more to the
ceaseless bOmbardment of the sus-
pended sand which it bore from the
up country. or picked up as it went
along, and to the thump of pebbles
and powders which it swept on IN
flood time, the river kept cutting down
as the strata rose, until finally, when
what was left of our inland sea bottom
got thrust up so that, towering far
above its erstwhile rocky shores it
had to be called plateau, the {, .
RADIO and its auxiliaries found them
selves at the bottom of a series of
colossal canyons and gorges, where
they are to-day.

WILL ROBERTS GET
 SEATED IN THE HOUSE?

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald sends the following: Representative-el Roberts, theMormon Congressmanfr from Utah, will probably be confronted upon his arrival in Washington to take his seat in the Fffty-sixth Congress by the proposition of expulsion because of his alleged polygamous practices. Some of the ablest constitutional lawyers in the House, who have studied this now cele- brated case, declare there Is nothing in the constitution of the United States to prevent MT. Roberts from taking his seat, but they add that the House. by tWo-thirds vote, may expel him on the ground that he is living in violation of the general laws which govern the United States.
 None of the objectors to MT Roberts seem to have recognized the constitu- tional aspects of the case, but have based their opposition to him solely upon the fact that he is a Mormon, and therefore, they declare, he should not be admitted to Congress.
 Representative James Hamilton Lewis of Washington is of the opinion that Mir. Roberts cannot be denied his seat in the House of Representatives on the mere ground that he is a polyga- mist, and has been living with three or more wives in Utah. Mir. Lewis is firmly convinced that when Mir Roberts appears at the first session of the next Congress he must be allowed to take the oath as a member of the House.

taken up, and so on. The evenings are devoted to lectures. generally entertain ing and instructive but with every chang Ing theme and speaker. On the following year new instructors must be secured, because the teachers and the community have heard the others, till it may be said or the teachers of California and the strangers w.4o come here that they spend thelr time In nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing" Too fre- Quently these new things" are untried Of which by the unskilled teacher has frequently resulted in great injury to the unsuspecting child.
 Third Of necessity the institute can not at the same time be greatly helpful to the rural teacher, the teacher of the city schools and the high school teacher. There can be no question that the inst- tute Is of much value to the rural teach CT, affording as it does an opportunity to come to town, to fraternize with fel- low teachers, to renew old acQuafn- tances and to make new ones, and to lis- ten to and participate in the musical and literary exercises in addition to all peda- gogical discussions which cannot be dis pensed with. The city teacher and the nigh school teacher not being so isolated do not feel so much the need of such re- union, and it must be confessed that many attend the institute as a matter of duty rather than of pleasure or for profit. fleets and to remove these objections 1 submit three plans and ask that you give them careful consideration. The first calls for an institute to last five full days with the subjects to be treated to be. re- duced in number and increased in enec- tiveness. In the opinion of the speaker not more than two subjects should be taken up by any one institute until the entire school curriculum has been covered. The second calls for the amendment of the law providing for the institute so as to, allow a two weeks session to be held. allowing all teachers half pay for their time in attendance. Hold each institute just before the opening of the first term in the school year Let the instructors be appointed by the State Board of Edu- cation, and let them be paid stipulated salaries by the State, their time when not engaged in institute, work to be de- voted to instruction In the State Normal schools or in the State University. Six ca paJle State instructors at salaries of Sz000 each could be secured for the money now annually paid by the counties for irreg- ular instructors The third, and, in the opinion of the speaker. the best plan, provides for the abolition altogether of llshment of summer and winter schools of special training, to be under the aus pices of the State University and the in- structors of the State normal schools.

POLYGAMY NOT PRACTICED
HEAD OF THE MORMON CHURCH
 SAYS LAW IS OBEYED.
The Question of Seating the Repre- sentative-E Elect From Utah Is Yet Causing Great
 Controversy.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 29-In connection with the election of B. H. Roberts to Congress and certain charges circu- lated by the Presbyterian Board of Missions, President Lorenzo Snow of the Mormon church furnishes a signed statement to an afternoon paper here to-day. in which he says, in part:
 1 declare most solemniy and emphatically that the statements which are being pub lished to the effect that the Mormon church is encouraging and teaching polygamy are utterly untrue. Ever since the issuance of the manifesto on this subject by President Milford Woodruff, my predecessor in office poiygamous or plural marriages have entirely ceased In Utah Since my accession to the preSi- dency of the Church of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints 1 have repeatedly as manifesto and my determination not to permit any marriage to take place under the sanction of the church which is con- trary to the law of the State, and now reaftirm that statement.
 The implied understanding with the na- ton when Utah entered the Union as State has been sacredly observed. There is no intention or disposition on the part of the church to violate or depart from 1t in the future. The enabling act required provision in the constitution in the marriages should be forever prohibited. Laws have been framed in support of this constitutional enactment Heavy penal ties are provided for in case Of their vio- latiOn.
 The election of B. H. Roberts to the of flee of Representative in Congress from Utah was an entirely secular affair. Non Mormons participated in his nomination in the regular convention of his party. Non Mormons also aided in his election. Many Mormons not being of his party voted for his opponent. He was elected as an American citizen by American citizens, and the question of religion did not enter into the purely political contest The church has nothing to do with the action of Congress in relation to his seat. If however, notice is to be taken of the wild statements and anti-Mormon fulmina- tons from the pulpit and the press to the effect that MT. Roberts has violated the State constitution and the requirement. of the enabling act. it is proper for me to state, as do most positively, that the charge, which incidentally affects the church of which we both are members Is entirely without foundation in fact If he should be unseated the result as to polygamy would be no different. There have been no polygamous marriages since 1Sp- There is no movement in the church Tor the revival of such unions. I am per sonally opposed to any such change My associates in the leadership of the church unite with. me in this determination
 The excitement that has been caused during the last few weeks is without req son and 1t appears to me without excuse.
