How a Woman Helped to Perfect the
COftOn.Sin


In a paper on "Recol1ections of
Washington and His Friends con-
tributed to the January Century by
Martha Litt1efield Phillips, we find
the following story of Eli Whitney:
During my life at Dungeness cir
cumstance occurred there of some his
toric and scientific interest, and in re
gard to which much erroneous state
ment has been made. l refer to the
invention of the cotton-gin by Eli
Whitney, and my mothers connection
with it. The facts, briefly stated,
we're about as follows: While spend
ing the previous summer at Newport,
R. l., my mother became acquainted
with Mr.. Whitney, and grew much in
terested in the outcome of the expert
nents he was then making in the in
terest of his projected gin. To assist
in his enterprise, my mother invited
him to spend the following winter at
Dungeness, where an abundance of
cotton and quiet could be assured. Mr.
Whitney accordingly came to Dunge-
ness, and diligently pursued his ex-
periments, room in the fifth story
having been specially fitted for his
use as an inventor, One morning he
descended headlong into the drawing
room, where number of guests were
assembled, and excited1y exclaimed,
The victory is mine!' In deep SYM
pathy with him the guests and hostess
went with him to his workshop. Whit
ney set his model in motion. For a
few moments the miniature saws re-
volved without hindrance, and the
separation of the seed from the cotton
wool was successfully accomplished;
but after little the saws clio gged with
lint, the wheel stopped, and poor Whit
ney was in despair.
"tHere's what you needv' exclaimed
my mother, in her clear, decisive way;
and she instantly seized a clothes
brush lying on the mantle, and held
it firmly to the teeth of the saws.
Again the drum revo1ved, and instant
1y the saws were cleaned of the lint,
and the last requirement of the great
invention was satisfied.
Madam said Whitney, overcome
with emotion, and speaking with the
exagge1ation of gratitude, you have
perfected my invention

FAMOUS COLLECTION OF GEMS.

Mr.. James Hill of st. Paul, Mimi.
the president of the Great Northern
railroad, is an ardent admirer of beau
tiful gems. For a number OF years he
has been steadily adding to the treas
ureS of Mrs. Hills jewel box, and sell
dom visits another city than his own
without carrying away one of its
greatest treasures. His especial fancy
is for emeralds, and undoubtedly the
first collection of them in America is
owned by his wife.
Mr.. Hill is an expert judge of the
texture and value of gems. A jeweler
once called his attention to sapphire
that appeared to have unusual lustre
and brilliancy of color. 1t was said to
be worth great price. After a care
full study of it, Mr.. Hill laid it down
and explained to the jeweler that the
stone was most curiously formed in
stratas- The center strata, which was
light, gave the luminous appearance TO
the stone, but from the standpoint of
purity ruined its intrinsic value
Mrs Hill is very quiet in her taste
and does not share her husbands love
for these beautiful bits of color. She
seldom wears any jewels, but keeps
them safely in large box, where, she
says, 1T gives Mr.. Hill much pleasure

The railroad president has, as he
says, box of his own, in which he
keeps furs, for he is also a connOisseur
of fine skins, and has collected a good
deal of unusual sable. Last year. when

A RED DINNER.
Some Helpful Suggestions.

In giving the red dinner, so distinctly
in vogue at this season. the tomato is,
by reason of its complexion. the belle
amongst the vegetables. When raw to-
matoes are difficult to get or are too
expensive, the following recipe, if care
fully carried out, Stimulates the whole
! tomato so perfectly in appearance, and
is so delicious in flavor. as TO make the
salad the browning glory of the feast.
Take one pint OF strained tomatoes,
one teaspocnfuI of salt, one-half tea
spoon of white pepper, one tablespoon
of tarragon vinegar, one teaspoon of
onion juice, one bay leaf, two sprigs of
parsley, one-quarter cup OF gelatine.
Put all the ingredients in a granite
dish Let soak for two or three hours;
then bring to boiling point, remove
bay leaf and parsley; turn into small
molds When ready to serve dip the
mold in hot water for a second only.
Drop the jelly, the rounded side up, on
lettuce leaf. Surround this with
cream mayonnaise dressing, to which
has been added finely chopped celery.
Points to be observed: Keep a re-
volving flour sieve expressly for strain
ing tomatoes. Experience proves il to
be more satisfactory than any other de-
vice.
Be sure to use the white pepper. 1t
makes an enormous difference in the
tint of the jelly. The ordinary sloping
after-dinner coffee cup is the best dish
in which to mold the salad form. The
small blue stoneware baking cups also
make a. good fern. Never use a tin
mold with a recipe containing eggs or
acids. This amount makes eight molds.
The following dessert for a red din
ner is quite beyond praise:
Nut Cream-One pint of cream I'M
whipped, one-half cup almonds, one
quarter cup gelatine, six tablespoons
maraschino. or four tablespoons sherry,
one-third cup granulaIed sugar one
teaspoon vanilla. one-half teaspoon
rose water
Have a large bowl on the ice. The
cream must be ice cold. Have your
egg. beater also ice cold. Half the trou-
BILE experienced in whipping cream
comes from observance of these
two simple precautions. Whip your
cream. Soak the gelatine in q. pli4t of
cold water for an hour. Be sure to
cover it while it IS soaking. Add the
wine and flavoring to the sugar. Add
these to the whipped cream, then the
nuts chopped fine and sailed very lit
ale Save out few for the top.
Put the dish of gelatine in dish of
boiling water and stir untilt dissolved !
Add quickly to the cream. stir rapidly
a moment and put in ramikins. Sprin-
lle few finely chopped nuts over the |
top and crown all with one or more |
crystalized cherries. This amount of !
cream fills Y ramikins.
Having decided upon tomato for your !
salad. and not wanting to repeat the |
flavor in your soup, you may feel hard !
pressed for a properly tinted soup. In |
this case a cream soup, decorated with |
little red peppers, looks very pretty, |
and no one is obliged to eat the pep

At THE TABERNACLE
PRESIDENT CANNON AND TWO
ELDERS THE SPEAKERS.
The Missionary Work In England
How the Saints Nay Enjoy the
Gifts of the Gospel.

An audience that was unusually large
attended the services yesterday after
noon at the tabernacle. The sermons
were preached by President George Q.
Cannon and Elders Bernard ]. Stewart
and John NJ. knight.
Elder Stewart has just returned from
a mission in England The work there,
he said, was not progressing as salts
factorily as could be desired, as great
difficulty was experienced in obtaining
halls in which to preach the Mormon
faith. The work was now almost al
together confined TO preaching in the
streets and distributing tracts. The
former method proved the most fruitful,
although frequent and violent opposi-
ton was sometimes experienced. In
one year 500 of these meetings were held
in London alone. The effect was that
some of the surprising ignorance re-
garding Mormons and Mormonism was
being removed.
Elder Knight, whose evangelical eff
forts were made in the Indian territory
mission, said the elders there met with
frequent violence, but for all this many
converts were being made. Of these
some were members of the state legiS-
lature, and among the educated there
was as much interest as among the
poor and ignorant. Elder Knight at
tributed the success to the practice of
travelling without money and depend
ing upon divine aid. He referred to the
laxity among many of the returned ell
ders, and could see no reason why their
missionary zeal should be abated.
President George @. Cannon made the
final address. He said that in this age
of skepticism it was pleasant to hear
young men testify that they knew the
gospel to be true. No other people be-
lieved in a God of power. Elders should
not allow themselves TO grow indiffer
ent. Elders appeared TO believe that
after doing missionary work they
should enjoy a period of relaxation.
This idea, he continued, was a mis-
taken one, for there was no greater joy
than that experienced in serving God.
In the blacklist of their trials the Saints
were happy because the spirit of God
attended them.
The gifts of God, said President Can
non, were shown in the preservation of
the Saints, but it was possible for the
Saints to enjoy many more gifts of the
gospel through increased faith.

Common CREEK MINES.
Revival of Activity In Cassia County,
Idaho.

Considerable mining is now being
done on Conner creek, Cassia county,
Ida, almost on the Utah-Idaho line.
concerning which the Albion Times
saws:
There will undoubtedly be great &C
tivity among mining men in and about
Albion during the coming summer. and
before another year has rolled away
we expect to see Albion the supply
point for the best mining camp in
Idaho.
Operations on Connor creek have
commenced in good shape and some
property is already changing hands.
Bishop Hardy. John Fox and 1. Jen-
nings. mining men of Salt Lake, were
IN Albion last week on mining bust
ness. While here, Mr.. Jennings pur-
chased of Colonel r. L. Wood a one
fifth interest in the Alice mine, paying
therefore the sum of $1,000 The Alice
is a valuable property. and the inter-
esting of foreign capital in this mine
is a forerunner of what is sure TO fol-
low in many others.
Jack Comerford row owns three
fourths- interest in the Giant, having
purchased Major Stokes interest in
this valuable property. Work on the
Giant viii commence at once, and the
proprietors expect to be shipping ore in
less than two months.
O. r. Melcher, after whom the we'll
known Melcher mine was named, left
Albion Saturday for Pittsburg. Pa,
where he goes to interest capital in the
famous Conner Creek district in gen.
eral and the Melcher mine in partic-
ular Three shafts have been sunk on
this property, and in the S0-foot shaft
the entire ledge assays S25 in gold per
ton from the top to the bottom.
The Golden Eagle. Monarch Bad
ger Jennie and several other mines are
all valuable properties. and will in time
prove themselves such.
The Comora people are also hard at
work pushing the tunnel on the ledge,
and. with every foot of ground. they
become more and more convinced that
they have one of the best properties in
the west.
George burroughs, of the Sweetser &
Burroughs Mining Co., was in the city
Friday and on his return to the boat
was accompanied by j. w. Burgess. a
shiIlful mechanic. who will place the
machinery in the new. boat recently
constructed by the company. Mr.. Bur
CESS will be gone about three weeks, |
by which time it is expected the new
boat will be ready to begin dredging !
1t is understood that the company will |
run two boats during the coming sea-

only tends to show that the Sweetser 1

At THE Y. N. c, A,
ADDRESS BY PROF. AXTELL, OF
THE SALT LAKE COLLEGE.
The Sin of Rejecting Christ His
Theme-Address Followed By a
Testimony Meeting.

There was goodly attendance of
men at the Y NJ. C. A. meeting yester-
day afternoon. Professor Axtell of Salt
Lake college was the speaker. The
Scripture reading was Ezekiel iii. 1927,
the text Rev. iii. 5: He that overcom-
eth the same shall be clothed in fine,
white raiment."
The speaker said that he had OBJ
served that what was true elsewhere
is true in Salt Lake City, the chief sin
is rejecting Christ. He defined iniquity
as disobedience to the moral law. De-
parting from the standard of right
When a man has in mind distinct
idea of what is right and then does the
opposite. he does wrong. When we do
any act we have an Intuition that it
is right or wrong. Choosing Christ will
put you solidly on the right side of the
moral law. The set of a mans whole
character is determined by accepting or
rejecting Christ. The speaker quoted
scripture very freely.
The address was followed by'a testi-
mony meeting. in which most of the
men present took part.
