Special Correspondence.
Washington, Dec. 2S.-The holiday
recess does not mean much Of play
spell to many members OF Congress,
both senators and representatives. In
many cases II Is good, hard, earnest
work. For instance, 1t is safe to say
that nearly all OF the representatives
are candidates for denomination and
reelection in the coming campaign.
There are thirty senators whose sue
cessors will be elected by legislatures
chosen in the campaign Of 1900, These
senator's, with perhaps one or two ex-
ceptIons, are candidates for reelection,
Thus It is necessary for senators and
representatives alike to look closely
after their fences" The holiday re-
cess is utilized for this purpose, Most
Of the members go home, and those
that remain here devote their time to
such correspondence as win do the most
good while clerks are busy sending
out documents to the people all over
the country. The holidays afford about
the last existing opportunity for mem-
bers OF Congress to visit their constitu-
ents before the conventions are held,
and they usually make the best Of It..
Merry Christmasl" and Happy New
Year," are the greetings everywhere
extended during this holiday time, but

sentatlves, when extended to their con-
| stituents, mean, II hope you are with
me for a return to Congress"

Salt Lake City Utah. Dec Is, 1872
had an hours chat here with the ven
cradle Lorenzo Snow, the President Of
the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter
day Saints, and the leader Of the three
hundred odd thousand Mormons who
are scattered over the United States.
Mr.. Snow is now eighty-slx years Of
age, but like many Of the old men Of his
Church he looks much younger. As he
shook my hand | could hardly realize
that he had passed his three score and
ten sixteen years ago. and my mind
went back to President Woodruff, who
was at the head Of the Church at the
age Of ninety-one, during my last visit
to Salt Lake. President Snow does not
weigh more than l65 pounds, but he Is
very active. He had just returned from
a Church meeting at Ogden,
thlrty-sx miles away, and he
told me that It was his Gus
tom to take long walks every day.
During the talk asked him some ques-
tions about his career. He has been a
Mormon all his life. has preached Nor
monism In nearly every country Of Eu-
rope, and has practiced II. plurality Of
wives Il am told he has had five or
more) and all, from his boyhood until
now.
AS for myself, l am cast-iron Pres
byterian, but do not question the hon
ments which follow:
HOW PRESIDENT SNOW BECAME
A MORMON.
The Mormon Church, you know, be-
lieyes that its Elders and members have
revelations direct from God. President
Snow told ME there was no doubt in his
mind that the Father and Jesus Christ
really appeared In person TO Joseph
Smith while he was upon earth, and
that Joseph Smith had frequent and full
directions for all things connected with
the Church from on high. He said such
revelations We're manifested today, and
] thereupon asked him point blank II
he himself had ever had revelation
or direct manifestation from God
II know that have, and that several
times" replied the President OF the
Mormons. The first one was when
was a boy. My parents were very well
TO do. They sent me TO college at ODER
lin, Ohio, but / found the professors,
they were Congregationalists insisted
should believe as they did. and left
and went TO Kirkland. There ] met
Joseph Smith and the 'Mormons,' | at

brethren and sisters prophesying,
speaking strange tongues, and giving
forth the revelations they received from
God. l was converted by them. be-

PLURAL MARRIAGES.

Later on in the conversation l referred
to the case Of Roberts, and asked the
President whether polygamous mar
riages were still contracted In Utah. He
replied:
II answer emphatlcally that they
are not. There has not been one such,
so far as | know, since | have been
President Of the Church.
"Will there be more Of such marriages
in the future? | asked
"No, | think not We believe that
