STILL IN PRISON, MIR. CHOATE PLEADING FOR POOR MRS. MAY
 BRICK. ENGLAND IS CRUEL. The Home Secretary Will Not Pre- sent Her PaperS.-U. s. De-
 ing all it Can,

LONDON, July 31.-In the house of commons today, Mir, Michael DaYitt, Nationalist, asked what action the government of the United States had taken in behalf of Mrs. May brlck, the American woman now undergoing sentence of imprison
 ment for life after having been con victed of poisoning her husband; whether petition had been received from public bodies and persons in America and if the secretary of state for home affairs, Sir Matthew White Ridley, would present the pa pers to the house with the govern ment's epIies. The home secretary answered the questions, saying rep resen tations had been made in favor of Mrs. Mabrick by the American government through the United States ambassador here, Mr. Joseph H. Choate, and that numerous rep resentations had been made by pri- vate individuals. But, he added, it would be contrary to practice to present papers dealing with the ex- ercise of the royal prerogatives.

TT WILL BRING RESUL78.

There is promise of considerable Brightness in the news that the navy is to take more active and promi- nent part in the prosecution of the Philippines campaign by instituting q strong blockade around the island of Luzon for the purpose of cutting off Aguinado's supplies of war ma terial.
 A vigorous aggressiYeness in marked contrast to the movements Of the army under General Otis di- rection has invariably been in evil denee in the part played by the American navy h the Philippines. It is safe to count upon this charac- teristic being displayed in future operations. The thirty Eve vessels to be employed in the blockade by Admiral Watson will doubtless give a good account of themselves, not only in patrol work, but in whatev- el movements against the insur- gents may be necessitated along the coast liue.
 Should this fuller employment of the navy be supplemented by an ad- equate campaiga on land conducted by more capable commander than Otis it would be in order to hope for the speedy restoration of tranquiIi- ty in Luzon and the establishment of conditions making it possible for Congress to take up tue considera- tion of the Philippine question free from the embarrassment of miser. able clash with che natives brought about by official stupidity. It is safe to say that either Lawton or MacArthur, acting in conjunction with Admiral Watson, would prove equal to the task, leaving Otis tc devote himself to his administrative dutles as Governor General.
 The administration would com mend itself to the people by taking action along these lines. It would greatly improve tLe spirit of the army by showing that the feuds and fayoritisms of Algerism had been eliminated with Alger. It is to be hoped that this showing will be made in the near future, St. Louis Republic.

ereets Martiny the Great at the
 Academy of Music.

Last night Martiny, the greatest exponent of the art of hypnotism, gave demonstrations and proved Himself worthy the title he justly lays claim to. "The man who makes you laugh" for without doubt he certainly produced more laughter in two hours than would be possible for any farce comedy extant,
 His subjects, all local, were led into hypnosis in a very few moments and then the fun began fast and furious, the entertainment being re- fined in every sense of the word: Martiny is small in stature, but proves himself thoroughly convers. ant ia the art, Lis opening talk giv. ing very lucid explanation of the science which last but 10 minutes. Among the laughable acts were the shoemaker's shop. the milking of a COW, the animal being a table, and of nervous disposition proved it. self capable of keeping several of the subjects very alert. The living statuary produced by Martiny cer- tainly deserves prominent mention, it being perfectly marvellous, for with a command now" each and every subject that were laboring under an illusion thinking them selves baseball catchers, iuglers, etc., were instartly thrown into catalepsy, being rigid as stone, and not moving a muscle until release d by the operator. These different positions and poses all being grace ful could not be conceived by any sculptor or portrayed on canvass by any artist.
 Tonight at 8:30 p. m., Martlny will awaken MT. Jas. Stringfellow, who has been quietly resting under the hypnosis since Tuesday night in the Surprise Store show wiudow without food or water for the past two days and nights on opening the performance, aud he promises a very interesting sight to those never having witnessed such a sight. It will be necessary to have five strong men hold this young man during the awakening. Nothing will be re- peated except by request. A change of program every night.-Tusca- loosa, (Ala ) Times.

val of Lupercalia. The day was passed
in feasting and in witnessing the dance
and drama; but there was a peculiar
ceremony besides, in which the mar
riageable men drew from a box of bill
lets, each inscribed with the name OF
some fair maiden. Each man was ex-
pected to devote himself to the lady
whose name he drew for the next en-
suing twelve months.
The results of the drawing no doubt
furnished an excuse and inspiration for
tender verse and, probably, for ridic-
ulous rhymes, which are perpetrated to
this day There was naturally so much
fun and expectation, disappointment
and raillery connected with the festival
that when the Christians adopted it
and named it for the canonized bishop
that the young people insisted upon re-
tanning this agreeable custom.
Then let the boys and girls rejoice
today and have their fun. An evening
contemporary has begun TO complain
already about what the young folks
are liable to do in the way of ringing
door bells and getting boisterous to-
night. Let them go it. It's only for this
date. They'll get old, after awhile, like
we are, and see no fun in it; so why
shouldn't they enjoy ST Valentines day
with its tonfoolery while they may?

PROSPEROUS PORTO RICO.

The government department of ag-
riculture has sent out crop and eli
mate report for the Porto Rico section.
differs slightly from what we have
been experiencing in the valleys of
these mountains.
Take Hacienda Perla, near Fajard
in the province of Humacao, at the
eastern extremity of Porto Rico, for
instance. 1t is a big dose, but take it.
The temperature for the two months
last past has averaged little over IS
degrees. Dwellers in this intermoun-
tain country should bear in mind that
this is above zero, strange as it may
seem for the season. The rainfall dur
ing the same period was 9.27 inches.
Crops are looking up. There is con-
siderable cane raised in Porto Rico,
especially hurricane. The earthquake
crop is small this year; there have
been only two since New Years day.
Shipwrecks flourish near the coast,
where there is more moisture than in
the interior of the island. The tobacco
plantations are promising, and it may
be of especial interest to Senator Abel
]. Evans to know that the cigarettes
are in full bloom.
Coffee is plentiful at cents per cup,
but weak, owing to the general humid
ity of the section. With several Span
ish funerals and a little American cap
ital, Porto Rico would prosper as it
never did before.

ST. VALEN TINES DAY.

This is a day of mingled emotions.
The mails will be filled with senti-
mental verse and ridicule. Lovers viii
sigh like furnace, old maids Will fret
and bachelors will rave as they open
envelopes today.
How the good st. Valentine became
responsible for all the nonsense prac-
ticed in his name is hard to understand.
There is nothing in the average comic
valentine embleTnatic Of the good old
bishop, whose gentle disposition, be-
nfgnant work and tragic end are all
that the world remembers of him. Nor
is there aught in the flood of tender
sentiment, the cooling Of doves or the
frantic effort of poets to find sensible
rhymes for those birds, to trace back to
poor old Valentine.
The only justification we see for at
tributing such verses to him was the
fact that he is said to have been
beaten to death with clubs. However
that may be, there are several theories
as to the origin of the customs and su-
perstitions of the day.
A long time ago a pioneer naturalist
made an off-hand remark that the birds
all went to wooing and selected their
mates on the 14th of February. This
theory was popular for some time, until
a. more precise ornithologist observed
that birds were not particularly close
observers of the calendar and were as
apt to mate on the 18th as on the 18th,
or any other convenient day of the
month.
The most plausible explanation of the
celebration Of Feb. IA is that it is a
pagan holiday merged into Christian
observance along with many pagan
ri1es and festivals. Most of these We're
kept by the early Christians, who had

ARMY REORGANIZATION.

The plight of the army, in the hands
of campaign heelers, under the. gen
eral direction of a historical coward,
prostituted for personal and political
purposes by notorious boodler, is
too disgusting 10 talk about.
From the report Of the whitewash
commission, created for the sole pur-
pose of covering up the infamous and
incompetent conduct of the commissary
and medical departments, it is plain to
see that no real investigation was
made or wanted.
1t makes no difference how great or
good are the men who composed that
commission, its method of procedure,
its unmistakable bias, its unreasonable
demand upon witnesses to fix the
blame, its findings, and its exonera-
ton of Alger, show that the commits
sion was appointed to satisfy popular
clamor. to consume time, to allow pub
lie indignation to subside, to give the
administration a chance to change the
subject.
The deplOrable revelations made be-
fore the commission were ignored in
the report, or palliated by the mem
bers. Only the defense of Eagan, AL
ger and Mckinley was conducted with
vigor. Only the prosecution was dis
credited by the board of so-called in
vestigators. Therefore, the finding is
void of positive results.
There is a lesson for congress. for
the army, for the people, in this report.
Urgent as the need for a complete re-
organization Of the army is, it can
afford to wait until the reorganization
may be accomplished on a little higher
plane; it can afford to wait until there
is an opportunity to act without the
influence of personal malice or poIiti-
cal favOritism shaping the reorganiza-
ton Of the army; it can afford to wait
even with the rattle of musketry in
PARKWAY possessions, that evils may
be rooted out and a solid basis for re-
organization found.
The Eagan episode was Grifling with
iii itself compared to the disease Of
which it was but a symptom. The de-
moralization Of the service, the aban-
donment of discipline under Ayers
ADMINISTRATION Oh the war department,
has been exposed in a hundred humil-
iating ways. The brutality of Eagan's
offense was all that attracted especial
attention to it.
But it is hoped and believed that the
disease is not organic; that it is func-
tional; that it hasn't reached the bone;
that it hasn't touched the heart; that
the removal of Alger would deprive
the growing cancer Of its root.
There are several reasons why the
regular army should be reorganized
and increased, just now. But not IN
der the present secretary of war.
The president should remove Alger.
Then congress should authorize an in
crease Of the army.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Last night saw the beginning of an
other good week at the Grand If one
may judge by the enthusiasm of the
audience. THE South Before the
War" does not seem to be lacking in
spirit owing to its recent snow block
ade experiences, neither was any stiff
ness of joints perceptible.
The show is composed of specialties,
with pathos and comedy intermingled
at odd moments. There is some good
dancing, also singing, contortion ex-
hibitions, etc. The audience was de-
lighted with the entertainment from
start to finish, and the singing of He
Cert'ny Was Good to Me" by Katie
Garter, brought down the house.
The performance commenced with
moving pictures, representing the
Passion PLAY, a good deal of an in
congruity, to be sure, but the audi
ence was greatly interested in the
scenes presented.
The piece runs the entire week.

CHURCH INFLUENCE.

Our Provo contemporary, the En-
ouirer, does not seem to grasp the sit
uation at ALL AS a matter of fact,
there has been considerable complaint
and some cause for complaint of the
use of church influence in Utah politics.
The Tribune has said so repeatedly, al
though in the fall of 1895, for some rea-
son or other, it denied the existence
of such an interference in par
tisan affairs, ami contended that
church leaders had a perfect right
to condemn the actions Of party con-
ventions from the pulpit.
At the priesthood meeting referred TO-
there was an effort made to enforce
somewhat obsolete rule against indlvld-
uals wheh was not enforced against
certain officials as a class. 1t was TO
this that objections were raised. Inc
protest was against a rule which al
lowed a Republican apostle to go into
politics while a Democrat was barred
Subsequently, on the 10th of May, 1876,
the Salt Lake Tribune published an
exclamation of how this rule operated.
The Herald is unalterably opposed to
the use of ecclesiastical influence in po-
litical affairs 1t applauds every senll-
nient of opposition to such campaign
methods. There can be no peace IN
Utah unless the church and state are
kept we'll apart. And The Herald be-
lieves that President Lorenzo Snow Is
doing this very thing. There will be
no hints, winks and pretended mes
sages'' from the first presidency sent
out with his approval for any political
party or candidate; nor sent Durport-
ing to be from the first presidency with
out being speedily overtaken by his
emphatic disavowal.
But The Herald is willing THAI John
Henry Smith or any other leading man
in the church shall take part in poiitl-
cal campaigns, so he does his work
openly and above board. as We believe
that John Henry Smith has. The Sc
cret meetings, the nightwork of eccles-
iastics who never appear in the open,
the grapevine messages sent out on
the eve of elections, apparently REPRE-
senting the wishes of the brethren
the bishops recommends given for can
didates to exhibit from the platform,
these are objectionable anu harmful to
the people.
Under the leadership Of Lorenzo Snow
nothing of this kind can be carried on
in the name of the church. individuals
will have to assume the responsibility
and without hope of being shielded Icy
the president of the church from criti-
cism Cor what they say and do. Lo-
reno Snow is no better man than was
MILFORD Woodruff: but he is Il strong
man. Lorenzo Snow is president IF the
church of Latter-day Saints. No pc
litical work is carried on in MS name,
or with his sanction. 1t is this fact
that makes some politicians who have
been pampered and nurtured on church
influence so angry now that they start
storms and attack their enemies.
