Snow Rises to Defend Roberts.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 30..--In con-
nection with the election of B. H. Rob
erts to congress and certain charges cir
culated by the Presbyterian board Of
missions President Lorenzo Snow Of
the Mormon church furnished signed
statement in which he says: II declare
most solemnly and emphatically that
the statements which are being pub
lished to the effect that the Mormon
church is encouraging and teaching po-
lygamy are utterly untrue. The cleo
ton of B. II. Roberts to the Office of
representative in congress in Utah was
entirely secular affair The question
of religion did not enter into the purely
political contest. If he should be un.
seated, the result as to polygamy would
be no different. There have been no
polygamous marriages since 1890. There
is no movement in the church for the
revival of such unions. l am person
ally opposed to any such change. My
associates in the leadership of the
church unite with me in this determi
nation"

A Bride to Her.

Polk Miller of Richmond is known as
raconteur of plantation life in the

An old darby named Absalom was the
favorite attendant of a widower 40.
quaintance of Miller. and as rumor
had it that the widower intended TAX
ing unto himself second wife Miller
asked Absalom if it were true. Absalom
scratched his woolly pate for moment
and replied that he reckoned it was
"Well," said Miller, twill he take a
bridal tour?'
This somewhat puzzled Absalom for
an instant; then an inspiration struck
him, and he said, II dunno bout a
bride, sab, but when de ole missus was
live he used to talk paddle to her; SO
maybe he talk q bride to de new one!''

Havana Paper Says Spanish Judge Was
in the Hideous Plot.
HAVANA, Jan. 1.-The city is much
excited tonight by the open charge,
made in Ell Reconcentrado, the o-gan of
"Cuba Libre, that Zecarias Bresmes, a
Spanish judge, now a fugitive from
Havana, was one of those actively
engaged in the plot which re.
suited in the destruction of the
Maine. The paper says today:
"When the Maine came into Havana
harbor Bresmes openly declared in the
Spanish cafes that such an act of audac.
ity on the part of the Yankees could not
pass without stringent punishment.
Champagne was drunk in honor of the
terrible event at the moment when
others were vaguely inquiring of one
another what had happened.
When the explosion took place Bres-
mes was in the Tacon theater with
friends. AT the sound of the explosion
he cried: "There goes the Maine.'

Everything There Detailed in Taylor's
 Capitol Souvenir.

Everything There Detailed in Taylors
 Capitol Souvenir.
 The issue this year of the souvenir of the capitol, which annually appears after every session of the general as- semby, prepared by Souvenir" Will liam Harrison Taylor of Putnam, far surpasses any of the former editions. It contains just hundred more pages than did that of the last session, num- bering in all 399 Most people would have had 400, but Taylor is nothing if not original. In fact, his originality has made him famous. It contains a fine half-tone portrait autograph and sketch of the lives of all the state off, cers and senators and large majority of the representatives. It also has a complete manual and roll of the general assembly, giving names, politics, resi- dence, age, birthplace, occupation, post office address and. many other matters of information of all the members and attaches. The plans of the senate and house and all the names of the commit tees are given.
 All this is a mine of information in itself and makes the book invaluable to members and many others, but there are many new features this year that are also very valuable and interesting. Among these are some beautiful half tone engravings of the capitol and it's corridors and rooms, including the sem ate chamber, the hall of representa- tives, the state library, the stairways, battle flag corner, the Buckingham statue and Putnam stone, the Hale statue, the Fitch tablet, the Charter Oak chair, the Viscaya gun, Thompson's painting of General Israel Putnam and many others. There are also some ex- cellent outside views of the capitol. Another new feature is the portrait of the author which will be prized by all the members and attaches of the cap- itol among whom MT. Taylor is great IaVorite.
 It is very handsomely bound, better than any of the previous editions, in red striped buffin, resembling buff leather. This is the latest thing in bindings and will add greatly to the attractiveness of the book A reproduction of the cap itol is stamped on the front and the seal of the state on the back in gold. A full page picture of the governor is another of the books many excellent features.
