AN INTERESTING VISITOR.

Coalville Utah, Times.
One of the most interesting and
welcome callers at our office in many
Gay was brought in Wednesday after
noon by Judge Samuel Brinton. of
Oakley, in the person of Mr.. joseph
b. Stump, of Myra, Lincoln county, w
Va.
Associated with the above name
there is an interesting story. which
is about as follows:
About eight years ago the Mormon
elders laboring in Yves. Virginia called
al the home of Mr. Stump and taught
to him and his family the doctrines of
the church they represented His wife
and children became converted to the
religion, but he did not at the time. He
made his home home for the elders.
and more than hundred have been
taken care of by him. After studying
thorouhly all the books, pamphlets and
literature bearing on the doctrines Of
the Latter-Day Saints. he became con-
verted that the gospel was true and
concluded it was time to obey the same.
Among the many elders who had been
provided for under his hospitable roof
was Samuel Brnton of Salt Lake, who
did much to teach him "Mormonism
He made promise that if he ever be-
came converted to the new religion thai
he would be baptized by MIR Brinton
if he had to go to Utah to have it done
A few weens ago he con alude1 to
come to Utah for the express puip pose of
being baptized into the church of Jesus
Christ of LatterDay Saints and on the
9TH day of the present month he reach
ed Salt Lake City. He was BAPTIZED
on Saturday last. the Dist by Ell Ter
Samuel Brinton in Salt Lake City, and
thus kept the promise made some years
ago.
Mr.. stump is a man of nearly 81
years. He served as a rebel soldier
and was in many import ant Conhi is,
receiving a severe wound At the
present time he is president of the
school board of his county, and a de-
putty sheriff and is one Of the most
prominent men in his State. known
everywhere for his good deeds and gen
erosity. He has defended the Mormon
elder from mob violence. sheltered
them, and has at last become a convert
to their teachings.
Mr.. Stump will remain in Utah until
after the October conference when he
will return to his home in West Viz
ginia. He carries with him the best
wishes of all the saints.

MRS. NATION AND THE NUDE IN
ART

One OF Mrs Carrie Nations bstes
noir is the nude in art. In her Far
Grounds speech published in yester
lays Register Mrs Nation said:
ITS always our sex, always "a '~oman
whose pictures-uude lewd pictures. they
have in saloons and on cigar boxes and
tobacco advertisements-alw pictures
OF women.
"why don't these men make pictures
of themselves-of men-nude pictures as
they do of women and hang mp in their
saloons? No its always women these
bad men are aftc~. That's what they
learn in the saloons"
We fear that Mrs. Nation lacks he
artistic sense. Her eye for the beauti-
full lacks training. Else She would not
ask why he subjects of the nude in
art are always women ana not men.
Mrs. Nation should put IN her e n
did specs and compare the Apollo
Belvidere with the Venus de Medici.
a study of these products OF the old
masters OF art ought to prove to even
Mrs. Nations satisfaction that. in pur-
rs naturalibus, man is admirable for
muscle chiefly. woman for beauty. The
manly form. handsome enough in its
way, looks better clothed. But beau
ty unadorned is adorned the most.
Hence the artistic brush selects for its
highest efforts the most beautiful
thing in Nature-the female form di-
vine"
Mrs. Nation. by the way. should
make acquaintance with the French
proverb which reads: "Honi soft qui

ANARCHISM.
Compared with FeBianism-An Eng
Iish Speaking Alliance Contem-


plated.
LONDON, October THE speech OF
II. Kelly, OF New York, at the anarch-
list meeting held yesterday in a hall in
the Tottenham court road, London, Tin
which he denounced the late President
McKin.ey's political career, has led to
a revival of the demand for the extir-
patton of anarchists. The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon compares an
archism with Fenianism. maintains
that the only difference between the
sentiment of anarchists and the war pr
outrage advocated by such men as for
mer Congressman Finerty is merely one
Of diverse means to the same end, urges
that the police OF the i.wo Anglo-Saxon
nations be empowered to take concert
ed action to hunt down the social enc
my. whether anarchist or Fenian, and
that both governments refuse them the
right of asylum.
~ coincidence the Times this morn
ing prints long article from Wash
ington, protesting against the license
allowed the Irish in America in plot
ting against Great Britain.
Commenting on this, the st. James
Gazette thinks British hands are not
clean and that no law would be
strained If Kelly and other foreigners
whose cult is murder receied immedi-
ate notice to quit.

AN APPALLING SITUATION IN
CHINA

The awful situation in the famine
stricken provinces of China is revealed
in the reports brought by the incom-
ing Pacific steamer Glenogle that hui
man flesh is being freely sold in the
famine districts of Shansi, China. that
babes and young children are being
butchered, that the Empress Dowager
has commanded that the practice be
stopped, but is able to enforce her Or
ders only around Hsiau Flu.
This horrible news should awaken
the civilized world to its duty in China
where vide devastation was recently
wrought by the combined armies of
Christian civilization. The present
situation in the famine stricken prov
inces is simply appalling.
The same Pacific steamer brings the
report that thousands have been saved
from starvation by the money collect
ed in the United States by the Chris
tian Herald of New York. There is no
report that any other nation has par
ucipated in this work of relief. Which
is another reason why the United
States should redouble its charitable
efforts.

The Sehley court of inquiry is rap
idly narrowing down to the meat in
the controversy. The developments
regarding the Dear Schley" letter
from Admiral Sampson to Commodore
Schley when the Americans were hunt
ing Cervera in Cuban waters. knock
the bottom out of the contention of
the conspirators against Schley. 1t
appears that Sampson in this famous
letter of instructions to Schley meant
Cienfeugos when he wrote Santiago.
and that any erasure ana substitution
were deliberately made in The original
copy in the navy department at Wash

1t is shown, that Admiral Sampson
most egregiously blundered in this
dispatch to Commodore Schley or that
the facts justifying Schleys actions
were deliberately suppressed in the
