Increase of the Mormon Church.

According to the report presented to the late general conference of the Nor mon church, the increase for the last year of adult converts and the baptism of children over years of age in Utah, Idaho. Colorado, Wyoming. Arizona and Canada exceeds that of the same length of time in all the previous his tory of Mormonism. Outside of the Rocky Mountain districts the accessions have been more than for any two years since the organization of the Mormon church. In England the results of the labors of the Mormon emissaries have been wonderful, exceeding even that attained by Milford Woodruflinthee early part of his life. when nearly 2,O00 peo- pie were lead to adopt Mormonism, by nearly two to one. The greatest sue cess has been achieved in New England, North and south Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia and in California and Oregon. The Mormon missionaries now at work number l,iO0. all of whom travel and labor without salary.

For a Postal Telegraph.

which the telegraph is in the hands of private corporations. In all the others the telegraph is a part of the postal service. In this respect we are behind the times. The people of the United States receive less serviCe,' poorer ser vice and pay more for it than if they owned their own telegraph system and operated it as the postofiice is operated. In Great Britain the government as- Gumed ownership of the telegraph in ls'2, buying out the private telegraph rate of one shilling per message of twenty words throughout the United Kingdom. The conditions are some what different in tlis country. Dis tances are far greater here, for one thing. But there is nothing to forbid the practical operatiol of postal tele- graph in the United States on the same general system as that which has proved such great success in Great Britain.

Its service is essentially the same in character as that of the postotlice, and it can be operated by the same employees under the same general supervision. In short, the 2eople of the United States ought to have postal telegraph, and the time has come wSen they can set up such a system with safety. Under the operation of the re- formed civil service-which has come to stay and whose rules are extended by each succeeding administration, no matter what it's politics-it is as poss- ble to secure competent men to run the telegraph business as it is to run the postotlice business. telegraph. ex- tending wherever the postal routes go, with every postmaster in the small towns a telegraph operator and every postoffice telegraph station. would bring about an era of swift and easy communication that would broaden the

Heart failure was the cause of death.

Selfridge. she was shaped like a eli

IKE the leaves of book. Her machin-
cry was worked by fourteen men. and
her maximum speed was two knots an
hour. Lack of speed would have rem
dered her Valueless, If she had had 10
other disadvantages. but there was a
fatal deficiency in the supply of fresh
air. This latter defect came near caus-
ing the loss of the lives of myself and
the crew. On our voyage down the
Potomac the air gave out, and with
much difficulty and a narrow escape
from sinking we crawled out upon the
top of the cigar and sat there until we
were taken off"
The French inventor, who pretended
to have method of renewing the air
in the Alligator, skipped with the cash
received in payment for his craft, and
the episode passed into history. In
July, 1852, Selfridge was ordered to
the command of the gunboat Cairo.
1t was a this time that the torpedo
accident occurred. The Cairo was lead
ing f1otilla of gunbOats up the YaZoo
river, back of the defenses of Vicks-
burg, when Selfridge, accommodating in
a boat. was blown up and had to swim
for his life. Next. while commanding
the gUnboat Conestoga, his vessel was
sunk by cOlHSlOn with Confederate
ram. In the Red river expedition he
commanded the ironclad Usage, and it
so CHANGED that the Lexington got
aground at Blairs plantation. Both
vessels were attacked by a Confederate
battery and a brigade of dismounted
cavalry. Selfridge gave battle and de-
feated the enemy, killing their general
and 400 men. He commanded the gun
boat Huron during the two lombard
ments Of Fort Fisher, and led the third
division of the assaulting columns Of
sailors and marines. He took part in
the bombardment of Fort Anderson
and in the capture of Wilmington.
After the war he was promoted thirty
numbers by the board of admirals con-
Vened at Washington.
Admiral Selfridge Jr. was made
commander in the navy in 1869, and
from that year until 1874, with four
vessels, he had charge of the survey
Of the proposed interoceanic ship canal
across the Isthmus of Darien. He was
made captain in 1881, and commodore
in April, 1894. He has always been
one of the most popular officers in the
service. Both he and his father, the old

contest for the valuable prizes offered
by the association, and the fatt that
this number will embrace specimens of
almost every breed of domestic fowl Is
held to substantiate Supt. Brown
claim.

by the managers of the exhibition to
be one of the chief features in itself.
There is also a large display Of ducks,
geese and turkeys. A complete list Of

DECLINED TO TAKE SILVER.
Detroit Lawyer Defendant In Il Suit
to Test the Bland-AlIison

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 6.-Fred A
Baker, prominent attorney of De-
trcit, has filed an answer to a suit
brought against him in the Oakland
circuit court, involving the constitu-
tonality of the Bland-Allison act and
other laws pertaining to silver as q
legal tender.
Stephen Baldwin bought a farm upon
which Mr.. Baker held mortgage that
became due to the amount of 1854 in
Guiding interest. Mr.. Baldwin rendered
MI. Baker 1854 silver dollars and asked
for the cancellation of the mortgage.
Mr.. Baker refused to surrender the
nc rtgage for the 964 silver dollars, but
agreed to cancel it if he received
enough silver dollars to equal, at the
present bullion value of silver, 364 gold
dollars. This condition was declined by
Mr.. Baldwin, ard he fled a suit in
equity asking for decree commanding
Mr. Baker to cancel the mortgage in
view of the tender made.
In the answer Mr.. Baker submits that
under the power ''to coin money, reGu-
late the value thereof, and of foreign
Gems, and fix the standard of weights
and measures" the congress of the
United States has no more authority or
power as far as pre- existing contracts
for the payment of money are concern
ed, to diminish or increase the number
of grains of pure gold Or pure silver
in the dollar in which contract has
been lawfully expressed, than it has as
to pre- existing contracts to change the
number of grains in an ounce, or the
number of ounces in a pound, or the
number of inches in a foot, or feet in
a yard, or to change any other standard
of weights or measures.
Several of the leading attorneys of
Detroit are interested in the case.

the Sunday school building, which was
erected at that time.
The remains that were found when
the cellars were dug were taken out
and the two cases Of adipocere were
among that number. Nobody claimed
them, and they probably would have
shared the same fate with many others,
that of being carted away and REIN
tered in a nameless grave, but for the
Intervention of DR.. Leidy, who had
heard Of the peculiar find of the grave
diggers, and who appreciated their
worth in the interest of science.
A Humorous Story
is told on the good doctor by his friend,
the eminent surgeon, DR.. William Hunt
1t seems that one day DR.. Leidy rushed
breathlessly into DR.. Hunts sanctum
and announced in an excited tone:
They are taking the bodies out of
a downtown cemetery"
you don't say so,' said the surgeon
with a smile.
But they found two cases of adipo-
cere."
DR.. Hunt began to grow interested.
Don't you think they would make
good specimens for our museum?''
DR.. Hunt thought they would, and
advised the excited physician to go get
them. But to get was another and an
altogether different matter. When DR..
Leidy approached the workmen they
fatty and Indignantly refused to de-
liver over to him the specimens"
1--WE can only give those bodies over
to their relatives, doctor"
Whereupon DR.. Leidy went to the
nearest drayman, and, handing him a
note addressed to the foreman of the
grave-diggers, instructed him to bring
to the museum what he received. The
man did as he was ordered; handed the
note to the proper man. and
Stood waiting.
The foreman opened the letter and
read:
Kindly deliver to bearer the bodies
of my grandmother and grandfather,
and oblige, etc"
1t was a grim joke but it was sue
cessful. The specimens We're accord
ingly transferred to the drayman's
wagon and in due season reached their
destination.
Of the two mummies, that Of the
woman was considered the best, and
was kept in the museum of the Col
lege of Physicians and the other was
given to the University of Pennsyl-
Yania, where it rested for years in the
top floor Of the medical department
before it was transferred to the newly
completed building of Wister museum.
For years after it was added to the
collection, DR.. Leidy was careful not
to enter any record Of it in the cata
logue, and as a result the authorities
at present in charge reply in answer
to any question concerning the soap
man: THAT is the only specimen that
we don't know anything about further
than what is on the card
The scanty record that the collector
has left attests that the adipocerous
subjects died of yellow fever. The
fact is also evident from the appear
ance of the woman's body at least. Hsr
jaw has dropped so as to allow her
mouth to remain open, and from that
it is argued that she was buried hastily,
a condition very probable IN case Of a
death from SO deadly and dangerous
a disease as yellow fever. But enough
has been handed down to satisfy the
doctors and the rest is LETT to the imagi-
nation.
