and Professor Worcester are spending
much time in consultation with lead
ing officials of the administration AL
though the plans for the approaching
sessions of the committee have not yet
been fully outlined, the indications are
that the earnest efforts of the body
will be devoted to the preparation of
a report which will be submitted in
season to serve as q basis for such
congressional legislation as may be
necessary at the approaching session.

tween Aguinaldo and the American
forces. fixing the responsibility there

airy report to plan a detailed system of
government for the Philippines. but

the insurrection has been quelled.

The Salt Lake theatre has been the
scene of many gatherings of a politi-
cad nature but it never held a more
brilliant audience than the one that
assembled last night to listen to and
take part in a Democratic rally that
sets the mark for all rallies by any
parties that may follow it, The big
auditorium. with it's parquet, dress cir

with people.
There were vacant seats in the top
most gallery, but enough enthusiasts

liminary programme, and red fire in
profusion lighted up the scene.
Decorations We're Handsome.
When the crowd was invited to enter
there was a rush for seats that contin-

beautifully decorated for the occasion
by a committee of Democratic women.

Commissioner of immigration Ritchie
claims to have discovered what ap-
pears to be a fIIf-fiec.ged Mormon col
ony in the heart of Greater New York:
1 is charged that among the New York
Latter-day Saints polygany is as free

Utah. Great secrecy concerning the
matter is maintained by the immigra-

report of recent discoveries in connec-
ton with the matter has been sent TO
the treasury department at Washing
ton.
Suspicious Were Arou7s ed.
The attention of the local authorities
was directed to the matter by the ar
rival here last Monday of Mrs. Bevan,
an English widow, and her 12-year-old
son. They were converts to Mormon
ism. SO many of the Saints called
upon Commissioner Ritchie that he be-

said:

communications that have been for

1T was fortunate that Mrs Bevan
was held" said another official, for
now we have proof that polygamy ex-
lists in this city. Several secret service
men will probably come here from
Washington to investigate the matter.
The talk of bringing Mormon converts
from other countries to Utah by way
of this port is merely a cloak by which

NO TWIN OWLS.
One Egg at n Time, and No More Until
1t Hatches, Is the Order.


Early in April of last year the captain of
the steamer Roseada, plying on the Kissim-
NEE river, reported the discovery of white
owls nest, which was in hole of leaning
dead cabbage palm, Overhanging the river.
Twice week on this trip up and down he
watched the growth of the birds until he
considered them old enough to move. He
then transferred them from the nest to a
box under serious protests from the parent
birds. The birds proved to be specimens of
the barn owl, and great was the surprise to
see three owls Of different sizes and evil
IDENTIFY considerable difference in their ages.
From inquiry it was learned that these
birds, after Matching the first egg, lay an
other, whose Matching is left to be done by
the young bird while it feathers, thus ex
planning why the birds in the different
stages of development were found in the
same nest, and explaining, too, the respon-
sibility that the Oldest bird seemed to have
over the younger ones-much as an elder
child watches over the younger ones of a
family.
The oldest owl was almost matured-in
full feather-its large black eyes ALMOST
human in expression being we'll set off by
the snow white face. The plumage on the
back was golden brown, the rest of the
body streaked with white The second bird
in size was an ashy, dull white He was
covered with down-the down on his face
giving him a vicious Xpression-entirely
different from the oldest bird. The baby Of
the nest was scarcely half the size of the
Oldest bird, had sharp, narrow and long
face, with a weakened monkey like express
sion but he was snow white, looking like
ball of wool. He cuddled under the larger
birds, and at feeding time was the most
ravenous eater of the crowd. All day long
these three wise little owls quietly sat,
making no sound except when approached,
when a sharp swapping of their beaks an
nounced that they wished no ntruders. To
turn them out of their box in day time
meant a quick return to it. They were
turned out one day for visitor to admire
and the box removed, when they quietly
sought refuge under the folds of her dress
skirt. At night they were in their ele-
ment when turned loose. They walked
around, tapped their wings. would come up
and take food from the hand, and drink
water from a spoon placed between their
beaks with as much ease person posi-
bly, could. After eating to their satisfaction
they would return to the box. and there
sit for an hour, peering out; swaying their
bodies backward and forward, as if rock
ing themselves to sleep.-Forest and
