UTAH'S REPRESENTATIy
His Right to Serve in Congress As
sailed by w. c. II. U.


mass meeting was held at the First
Congregational Church, 10th and G streets
northwest, yesterday afternoon, under the
auspices of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union of the District. The presi-
dent, Mrs. Clinton Smith, presided, and ad-
dresses were made by Miss Jessie A. Ack-
erman of Chicago and Mrs Emma de
Reimer, for ten years a missionary in Cey-
Ion. The latter spoke upon the right of
Representative-elect Roberts of Utah to a
seat in the House of Representatives, and
said man who is a lawtreaker should
not be admitted as a member of a body of
lawmakers. He declared that Utah had
never abandoned polygamy and the prac-
t1ce had been suspended merely in order
That the territory of Utah might be admit
ted into the Union.
Mrs. Sarah ID. La Fetra introduced
resolution, which was adopted, and which
stated that the election of Brigham H.
Roberts, polygamist with three wives
by the people of Utah to a seat in the
Congress of the United States is a de-
hant reputation of Utah's covenant with
the United States.
mat We as law-abiding citizens, enter
our solemn protest against such an insult
to the American people, whose power rests
upon the Christian Home the bulwark of
the nation; we therefore petition the fifty
sixth Congress to exercise it's right in re-
fusing this lawbreaker a seat with the law
makers Of our United States Congress-"

BILL, THE HUGGER.
Demented Thomas McRee Sent to the
Insane Asylum.


Jack, the Ripper" could not have caused
much more excitement or fright among wo-
men than ''Bill, the Hugger," did Saturday
night on It'll street near PENNSYLVANIA ave-
nue.. The individual who earned such a
good right to the above souhriquet is nam
ed William McBee, nineteen years old, who
lives at oil l. street northwest. About 10
O'Clock Saturday night, when the usual
shopping crowds were on 9TH street, Nc
Bee began to rush at women at the corner
of Market space and to hug them ardently.
Young, old and middle-aged were thus
treated without Partially. In a few min
utes the street was full of shrieking women,
running frantically in all directions. Great
excitement enSued and big crowd gath
cred.
Policeman Warren arrived just in time TO
prevent several angry men from giving Nc
Bee summary punishment. Warren took
McBee to the first precinct station house,
where ne was recognized as a well-known
young man of peculiar ideas and his father
was sent for. The latter explained that his
son was demented and furnished collateral.
stating that he would have the youth sent
to st. Elizabeth'S today.
During the excitement a horse attached
10 H. Friedlander's delivery wagon, driven
by Harry NJ. Lock of Anacostia, became
frightened and ran away. The wagon COL
lided with the carriage of R. r. Pope of
o21 18th street southeast, and then with the
mack OIL Sol. glasgow, winch was standing
at the hack stand at the intersection of 18th
street and Louisiana avenue. The wagon
was overturned and Lock thrown violently
out of it. sustaining a severe confusion of
the thigh and numerous bruises. After
treatment at Emergency Hospital the in
jured man was sent home.
In the Police Court this morning charge
of disorderly conduct against the young
man was nolle pressed by Mr.. Pugh, as his
father had carried out his promise and sent
him to the insane asylum.

The prospects of the association are fat
tering, and the board of managers are en-
thusiastic in their purpose to accomplish
a good years work In the object for which
1t is organized. This as is well known,
is to erect in this city a National Masonic
Temple, modern in its equipments and con-
Nemences and adequate to the present and
future needs of the Masonic fraternity.
The highly successful fair and exposition
which was held last spring in Convention
Hall for the benefit of the project netted
about $4,000, and the auditing committee
of the board of control which managed the
enterprise is now approaching the compile
ton of its duties. This committee which
consists of James A. Sample, chairman;
John X. Garrison, Henry S Merrill, Harry
Stamford and Coolidge, has been working
far into the night recently, and their report
promises to be most gratifying When this
is ready the board of control will make

ton, and then President Small will call

Masonic bodies in the District to consider
the entire subject of the new temple.

The Filipinos are surprised at the
way the United States makes war. 1t
Is much different from the Spanish
style. After having a fight with the
Flipinos, the ~Spaniards would lay off
seven or eight days, whether they won
or lost. The Americans, on the other
hand, neve lost and seldom halt. Ma
turally. this is d~emoralizing to Aguin-
aldo. He thinks the Americans are tax
ing an unfair advantage of him. Prob
ably his friends in the United States
are in accord with him on this point as
on all the others. The sincere" men
who sent out the appeal a few days ago
for the United States to stop warning
on him undoubtedly think that Whea-
tons continuous and ~resistless march
to the interior of the island, sweeping
the Filipinos ahead of him, and crush
ing them when he hits them, is a bar
barous method Of warfare. This meth
cd suits the American people, however.

Governor Richards has received a
communication from Hon. George L.
Miller, president OF the Greater Ameri-
ca Exposition, to be held this summer
at Omaha, in which the offer Of free
space in the mining and agricultural
buildings for the Wyoming exhibit is
made. President Miller informs the
governor that the exposition authorities
have the assurance of President Nc
Kinley and his cabinet that a govern
ment exhibit from the Philippines,
Hawaii, Porto Rico and Cuba will be
sent to the exposition Many of the
eastern states have also signified their
intention of sending representative
exhibits and the management is conf
dent of eclipsing the success of the
Trapsmississippi exposition of last
year. Every possible effort will be
made by the Omaha people to induce
this state to send an exhibit and they
guarantee that no other expense save
that Of mere transportation will have
to be incurred against the state. Many
prominent citizens have signifed to
Governor Richards their willingness to
help the matter along and while no APP
propriation was made by the legisla-
tune, 1t is expected that Wyoming will
be credttably represented

Got What We Chose

Got What We Chose
Did we desire this?" asks the Voice,
referring to the failure of the appropri-
atoms for Wyaming, which had sue
eessfully u the gauntlet of the senate,
to go through the house.
The Bulletin joins its regrets to those
of the Voice that the splendid recog-
milton accorded Wyoming in the senate
should have been made unavailing by
our lack OF a representative who could
sented our claims to the house. But
as to the question of desert-we Ger
tainly deserved from the senate what
we got from ibid We not also de-
serve from the house what we got from
it?
Wyoming has sent of her best to the
senate; and they have done their best
for us. For five hours, with only oc-
casional slight relief, did Senator War
rem fight for the reservoir appropria-
ton; he had it in his power to have
blocked, not only the river and harbor
bill, but all abe appropriation bills and
desisted at last because it was mani
testify impossible to get the appropria-
ton through; he did not feel justified
in blocking legislation necessary for the
whole country.
But a close study of the house debate
on this-or any other-bill affecting
Wyoming, as shown in the Congress
sional Record, fails to show that Mr..
Osborne so much as opened his mouth
in behalf of any Of these measures. Yet
Mr.. Osborne vas Wyoming's choice for
the Ffty-fifth congress. If we had had
there a man Of force, energy and ability
"a man like Mondell-the fate of Wyo-
ming measures might have been diff
ferent.
In the well-known story IT the choos-
ing of the caskets in the Merchant of
Venice the silver casket bears the line,
who chooseth ME shall get as much
as he deserves" In the election of 1896
silver casket-and surely those who
endorsed that choice have little cause
to complain if they get their deserts.
To be sure, it is a little hard on us, who
vigorously protested; but in the Fifty
Sixth congress we shall have a repre-
sentative in the house who can not be
ignored-and then We will deserve diff
ferently.-Buffalo Bulletin.

MI. Bryan is having a pretty hard
time keeping before the public at pres
ent. His latest effort, in declining the
Invitation of the Democratic club OF
New York to speak at a J~effersonian
banquet was a cheap piece of dema-
gogy, written for the sole purpose OF
appealing to the prejudice Of populistic
oranks. There is good reason, how
ever why Mr.. Bryan should not speak
at a J~effersonian banquet. Jefferson
believed in the greatest possible expan-
sion of America and American institu-
tons, while Mr.. Bryan believes in moth
ing but Bryan for president.
