The visit of Apostles Smith and
Taylor to Mesa led to series OF most
interesting meetings on Sunday, Sun
day night, Monday and Monday night.
They are both eloquent and forclble
speakers and at all the meetings the
large auditorium of the handsome new
tabernacle was crowded TO overflow
ing. Tuesday closed the meetings at
the tabernacle and although the ex-
ercises on this day were of little
diff, rent character, they were never
thsless most highly enjoyable. The
regular services Sunday and Monday
furnished a religious intellectual
feast and Tuesdays exercises were a
feast of hospitality and sociabllity,
and of the good things that delight
the inner man. To cultivate the so :
ciable and hospitable nature is char
acteristic of the Mor.n non people and
on Tuesday the hospitality was en-
phacised'b by picnic dinner such as
we have often referred to and such as
has made the culinary skill of Nor
mon wives, mothers, daughters ind
sisters famous. The feast was fault
less, sumptuous, bountiful. Ii was
served on the smooth Bermuda grass
lawn in the shade of the large new
tabernacle. Five or six hundred peo-
pie were present and all enjoyed the
occasion and felt that it was good to
he there. Before the dinner was laid,
the choir rendered some excellent
music and appropriate remarks were
made by Apostles Smith and Taylor.
The occasion was one that will not be
forgotten 10y any who were present.

WHAT DEwEY,s SON SAYS.

The only son Of Admiral Dewey is
George Goodwin Dewey, OF New York
City, who recently went into business
there, after taking his degree at
Princeton. When the news of his
fathers great victory was known, the
young man was literally beseiged by
reporters, all of whom he received
very considerably. He talked frank
'lyand enthusiastically about his father
as follows
''My father is deliberate, cool, bust.
ness-like, without fear, gentle, very
fond of children, good hearted, and
good to every one. He is most
thorough, determined, and energetic.
He is disciplinariau, and everything
under his control must be as near per
feet as possible You can easily inn
agin why have such faith in fathers
ability when l appreciate these strong
points in his character.
J"He is SO very kind hearted. yet
nothing can stop him in the preforn :
ance OF his duty, no matter what the
results may be. He loves a good
horse, and is particularly fond of
horseback riding, yet he always con-
siders the comfort OF the animal he
rides He will not allow his horse
to trot on a hard road or to be hur-
ried up steep hill. Then he ha
always been quite fond OF society, OF
club life, and has been devoted to
children, aud always enters into their
pleasures.
THAT is one side But when it
comes to the necessity of fighting, he
believes in being most thoroughly
prepared, and striking quick, hard
and with deliberate intent OF accom-
plishing the purpose of war-that is,
putting the enemy in a condition
where he cannot fight.
II was very much impressed by ms
last letter received a month ago. He
said nothing about expecting war, but
said he was very busy. Now busy
is very little word, but l know what
it meant with him. He meant that
he was practicing his crews in every
duty That they were handling the
ships and guns, firing at targets, an d
doing everything that would bring
them to the maximum of projection
in case they were called into action.
The result OF the battle of Manil
shows that was right. He was busy
when he wrote aud busy for a good
purpose.
"He believes that our ships and
men are the best in the world. He
IS right. and has proved it. Farragut
is his ideal of naval commander and
we all know what Farragut was"

ing tho life of the present Congress
as Spain has TO whip the United
States. The redemption feature OF
the bill strikes the lay reader as
being absurd. II provides that the
legal tender notes and standard
silver dollars shall DO redeemed in
gold, upon demand, aud then ex-
pressly stipnlates that silver ctrti-
fcaics shall not be redeemed in
gold. just refer to the face Of n
silver certificate and you will see
that they represent silver dollars,
deposited with the United States
Treasury aud payable upon demand
to the holder Of the certificate.
Therefore. should this wise bill be
come a law, all the holder of silver
certificates who wished them re-
deemed in gold would have to do
would be- TO frat demand standard
silver dollars for them and then ge,
the gold for the silver dollars. A
measure containing clause so
manifestly absurd is not calculated
to inspire public confidence in other
sections, where the absurdities
could not be so readily discovered
before they we're put In to practical
operation; but come to think, the
Indianapolis convention that faith
cred these ideas. did not inspire
any confidence outside of the bond
holders and bankers who footed it,

Suicide.

Monday night about 10 o'clock Scnire Raitord was called on to hold an in- quest over the remains of an unfortu- nate woman named Annie Palmer. The verdict of the jury WAS that she came to her death from pistol shot in the head with suicidal intent.
 In n room in an old two-story house west of town. on the l.. k. & M. Ry.. our reporter found the remains of the unfortunate woman. lying in bed, in her night clothes. one arm lying across her breast, resembling more The work of the sculptor than the remains of a human being. The shot that termi- mated her life entered near the right ear. passing entirely through the head.
 From inquiry We learned that the woman'5 name was Annie Palmer: was about 2 years of age: a handsome brunette. She formerly lived in tn city: had been married and deserted by her husband, when she took un an abandoned life. She has recently lived in Little Rock and came here about three weeks ago. and lived alone. No causes could be learned that led to her suicide. but it is said she has frequently remarked that she could not live st,ci, " 'stt pV tfu1tVs uV IllCUUS.

 Her remains were turned over to the undertaken and prepared for burial. and were then conveyed tO Millbrook Dy her father who resides at that place.

SnobBishness.

A lady living in an objectionable
street invited a gentleman of leisurely
life to her home, because in her sim
plicity she thought he seemed lonely.
He came, and at tho close Of the even

pie at your house." his voice unoon-

little book, ''About People" Mrs. Kate
Gannett Wells gives the following in
stance of a lack Of good manners:
snobbishness is not confined to one
set Of people. Emphasized by fashion
or literary p%retensions. 1t spreads from
village to city. 1t exists in sardine fac.
tories and In palatial mansions; it is
met with at picnics and dances as we'll
as at dinner or conversation parties.
The links are close.
One of Boston's Oldest families gave
q reception. Two scions Of other old
families attended, to whom the host
said. "I'l introduce you to those ladies
opposite" and he moved toward them.
excuse us" said one Of the men ;
"the ladies + Of q. peasant style Of
beauty; it is hardly worth while"
~The host bowed low in recognition Of
their farseeing power, adding. Eyes,
they are my nieces from the country,
but I will not trouble you."
No apology would he receive, though
n was eagerly offered.
