Up # + to ! discussion the whole Nor
mon question, but 70 .construe the
action Of Congress as an attack on
Mormonism is pnwarranted. The
question before Congress is pure
Illy. a legal one touching Mr.. Rob-
erts qualifications to serve as "a
I1hemher}of.the. Houses Of Repre-
Fsentatiues. The legality Of his
election or the religious status Of
tho pe6pEe who elected him has
not yet and is not likely to be
made a subject of Congressional
inquiry; and until some such step
is taken It Is folly 10 accuse Con :
gressr of designs. on the Mormon
church. Il seems 10 us extremely
nnwise On the part of the Mormon
people 70 regard themselves as
any more concerned in the Rob
erts case. than are ether people
The offense charged against him
is equally a violation Of divine
revelation and civil law. If,
guilty he has offended against
the Mofin5n church sas seriously
as against the people of the United
States. Every citizen of the Re-
public is equally interested, and
all should unite in demanding that.
he have, a fair trial. The cry ef
religious persecution cannot be
justly raised by the Mormon Peo-
pie withontsan.implied: confession
that they still uphold the practice
of polygamy. We think. also,
that the accusation that opposition
TO Roberts being granted a seat
grows out Of the antagonisns Of
other church organizations to the
Mormon church'is not altogether
well founded. There is no doubt
that all other Christian denomi-
nations stoutly object to tie prac-
tice Of polygamy, but that is no
longer a tenet Of the Mormo,1
faith, On many doctrinal points
the Mormon church is essentially
and necessarily different from 9TH
er denominations; but that is the
saving virtue Of Mormonism and
is bound to meet with opposition
in the purely theological field, but
we do not think there is any
widespread disposition among
Christian people outside Of the
Mormon church to drag those diff
ferences into the political arena
The tone of the religious press
Eof the better class has throughout
been very temperate, and there is
great difference ofopidion among
the leading journals as to how the
Roberts case should be disposed
Of; however, they generally agree
on two points, namely, that Mr.
Roberts cannot be excluded from
Congress because he is.a Mormon
and he ought to be excluded if h
is.a Rolygamist In this connec,
lion it may be interesting to know
JUST about what Mr.. Roberts
views on pQlygamy are. In hi

Tillie Herold, a transient butterfly and a
prominent member of the half-world
Crowley, up to the time of his disap-
pearance about a week ago, was book
keeper and confidential agent of the Union
Ice Company, a fact to which he owes his
sobriquet of 'iceman.' There were ru-
mors to the effect that his books were in
bad shape and that he had defaulted to
the tune of several hundred dollars, but
inquiry at the offices of the company on
Fourth street failed to develop any con-
firmation of the rumors. The officials Of
the concern stated that Crowley had not
taken one cent of its money.
Crowley first became notorious about a
wear ago when his wife, Matte Crowley,
obtained a divorce from him. 1t is said
that Mrs. Crowley is a ravishfngly beau
tiful woman, but her husband had deserc-
ed her for another. She was awarded
S25 a month alimony and the custody OF
the child. About a month ago Crowley
was In court again, having been sued Dy
his former wife for the payment OF all

however and Crowley lost his suit.
After his divorce Crowley became a con-
slant habitue of the tenderloin and led a
/ gay life with Viola Smith. who had apart
ments at the Royal Eagle on Ellis street.
| He rolled things high and spent more
money than was commensurate with his
! income, which gave rise to the story OF
| his defalcation.
| About week ago he fell in with Tillie
Herold. who recently inherited large
| sum of money by the death of an aunt in
/ the East, and the tenderlon became very
warm from the burning of much money

DOSED THE BABY OUT
OF THE WRONG BOTTLE
MRS. LIZZIE McENTEE POISONED
HER CHILD.
Kent the Poison and the Medicine on
the Same Table and Made
Fatal Mistake.

James McEntee. the 2-months-old in
FAINT of John and Lizzie McEntee Oh o2l
Elizabeth street. was accidentally pois-
oned by its mother under circumstances
of a peculiarly distressing character
The child was taken sick with bron-
chfal affection and the mother obtained
two bottles of drugs from the Faclnc
Dispensary attached TO the Children
Hospital One bottle contained medicine
to be taken internally and the other
preparation to be inhaled and containing
a strong corrosive poison as one or IT'S
principal ingredients. The mother placed
both bottles on table, and when she
found ii necessary to give the child some
medicine to quiet il she inadvertently
took the wrong bottle and gave the child
teaSpoonful.
When she discovered her error she has
tily summoned DIR. James V. Hughes, but
when he arrived he saw that ii would
be impossible to save the sufferer. The
baby died al half past o'clock on Fri
day night The Coroner was notified yes
terday and allowed the body to remain in
the house.
What adds to the distress of the par
ents is the fact that this is the third of
their children that has died within four
months. The two others had been car
ried away by pneumonia.

HELLO GIRL WRITES

Testimony of the Superintendent at
the Inquest Contradicted in
Advance by One of His
Employees.

Some Of the telephone girls do not take
any stock in the roseate statement of
Superintendent Lehigh given at the in
quest into the death of Anita Byrne, who
poisoned herself last Tuesday with car
bolic acid
Mr. Lehigh swore that the girls were
required to work only eight hours per
day. but this statement is controverted
by the writer of an anonymous letter re-
ceived through the mail yesterday morn
ing by Coroner Hill. The letter was signed
"A Telephone Girl"
The Coroner informed the reporters that
he had received at the same time another
note from the same girl giving her name
under the seal Of confidence. The anony-
nous letter is dated July IA, 1899, and
reads as follows:
