POLYGAMY ALIVE STILL.
A Missionary Tells of Some of the
Evils that Spring from Mormonism.

Evils that Spring from Mormonism.
The last monthly meeting of the Wom-
ans Board of Home Missions of the Pres
byterian church was held at 1856 Fifth
avenue and was one of great interest.
Speaking of it and the work in general,
Miss Helen c. Burnet said to a Tribune
reporter yesterday: ,
The aggressive spirit of Alormonisms
not only in Utah, but in most of the
states and territories, is not generally
known, though it is fact that it's subtle
teaching is making converts, even in the
city of New York. One of our mission
aries wrote to us recently, giving an ex-
ample of how much alive polygamy, in its
worst form, still is in Utah, in spite of
the fact that the state is now within the
Union. =.
"A woman became the second wife of q
Mormon, was cruelty treated by the first
wife, and the husband compelled her to
teach and give him all her earnings.
When her health failed and she could no
longer earn money, he deserted her. She
lived in miserable way for some years,
teaching whenever she could. One morn
ing she was found dead in small stream
near her home. She leaves one little girl.
about 8 years of age 1t is such reports
as that that make us feel like putting
forth superhuman efforts to fight the aw-
full evil. OF fourteen members in one
family in Salt Lake City several have
renowned Morlnonism, through the efforts
of our missionaries, and three, woman
and two men, are preparing to enter the
Christian ministry. New York Tribune

George Gould gave small dinner par
ty last week which illustrates the fact
that all seasons are alike to the rich as
soon as they 60 in out of the snow. At
one or another of the courses their palates
were tickled with fresh asparagus, new
potatoes and new peas, all grown in hot
houses. Fresh Strawberries, grown in
California and sent across the continent in
refrigerator cars, were served as part of
the dessert. These California strawber-
les are sold at from Is cents to 81 box.
Next month Strawberries raised in East
crn hothouscs will be on sale in this city
and will cost more than 81 Il box. A
fashionable fruiterer said last night he
supplies fresh fruit and vegetables all the
year around to those who can afford to
buy them. Canned peas and asparagus,
he said. are unknown Oh the tables of the
very rich. Mr.. and Mrs Gould's guests
were Henry Clews and Mrs. Clews, Rob
ert H. Russell and Duncan Cameron.

The strange disappearance of young
and beautiful woman, prominent in soci-
ETY., is causing great deal of comment
in certain uptown circles. Less than u
year ago no social function was COM
plete without her, and up to six weeks
ago she was frequently seen at social
gatherings. Then she suddenly dropped
out of sight. 1t is probably another of
those metropolitan life puzzles, the solu-
ton of which must be sought in sani-
tarium or else behind the barred back
windows of her stately mansion. Judg-
ing from skeletons that are no longer
confined in the family closets, wealthy
lunatics are frequently worse off than the
pauper insane.

ONE OF PEGGY'S CHARMS.
She Was a Jolly Good Entertainer
and Didn't Know It.

When Charlie called Peggy proposed
that they call on the Weston girls, re-
lates the Chicago News Accordingly
a few minutes later Charlie touched
the bell at the pretty little apartment
in which the Westons had their cosy
home, but repeated ringing brought no
response.
They're out again." walled Peggy.
IT'S funny, though, that the maid
doesn't answer. Have you some cards?
Charlie finally drew one dilapidated
pasteboard bearing the words, Miss
Margaret Haskins, No. 9999 Pleasant
boulevard"
Let's write something on it. just for
fun" suggested Peggy.
SO her attendant cavalier scrawled
'and Charlie" after the formal cogno-
men of Miss Peggy, adding: why
can't you stay at home ono night at
least? We're not coming again till
you've been up to see u.s. This edify-
ing epistle was tucked under the door
and the disappointed callers strolled out
into the soft spring air.
Three evenings later Peggy was try
ing to pass the time in patience, for
Charlie was out of town. when the maid

Todd Smith, John J. Carpenter and
Grant A. Holden.

They must be friends of sister Ellen"

They asked for Miss Margaret Has

Peggy knew her tendency to forget
names, so a moment later she confront
ed four grave young men in irreproach-
able evening dress, all bowling with
beautiful grace and smiling with splen-

forehead in a tangle, but couldn't to
save her life place her guests.
It's beautiful spring evening"" be-
gan Chester Grayson.
You look charmingly well'' cooed
Thomas Todd Smith
we feared We should not find you
at home ventured John j. Carpenter.
Where is Charlie? We hoped he
would be here" put in Grant A. Hol-
den.
All this time Peggy was going
through a series of inward qualms, but
the question about Charlie set her at
ease, and she plunged into a chummy
little confession of how lonesome she
was with her devoted swain out of
town. A half hour later she found her
self begging the quartet to come again,
after which she went upstairs to puzzle
out where she had met these men be-
fore.
The following afternoon. as Peggy
was about to board a downtown car
Fannie Weston ran up to her and ex-
claimed:
You'll get our new at-home cards
tomorrow. We're in Kenwood-been
out there over two weeks"
Peggy's head reeled. as she hung
frantically over the back platform and
pleaded.

And as the conductor rang the sig
nal to go ahead Fannie called innocent
