Scarcely less audacious was the
ruse employed by another dissatis-
fed son of Mars, and in this case,
likewise, it proved futile. He hap
pened to know that a certain pub
lican in the town was in anything but
afluent circumstances, for he visited
the house regularly, and from re-
marks dropped at odd times discoy-
cred that the publican was heavily in
debt to a Scotch spirit merchant.
One morning, as soon as the pub
lican opened his doors, the soldier ar
rived, after having first disguised
himself with a beard and wig and
donncd civilian attire. With him
came a friend, who agreed to act as
a representative of the law, and he
promptly told the astonished pub
lean that he had orders to leave
man in possession unless the sum
owing to the Scotch spirit merchant
was paid to him there and then. The
publ;can. of course, could not pay, so
the deserter was quartered upon him
and lived in his house and at his eX-
3ense for more than week before
the deception was discovered. Per
Aaps the most successful deserter-
COR time-was William Conrad.
Through one of his comrades he
heard of a man whose son had gone
70 Australia gold mining, and had ap-
oarently disappeared, for nothing
more had been heard of him, though
the parent still believed he would see
him again. Conrad therefore hit upon
the ingenious idea of leaving the
army by stealth, and, going to the
man. informing him that he was the
missing son. AS his knowledge Of
Australia was considerable, he lost
no time in putting his plan into
execution, and the parent, believing
n him despite the supposed altera-
ton in his appearance, provided him
with a home and money galore,
commodity he confessed he lacked.
But, unfortunately. for him, at the
end of IS months the real son turned
ND. and what followed can better be
imagined than described.

A report Received at the treasury
department from George w. Mindil,
the government expert at the New
York custom house on precious
stones, shows that during the fiscal
year ended June 30 last the aggregate
value of precious stones and pearls
passed through his office was S21 49,
O53. This amount largely exceeds the
total of any other year in the history
of the country and exceeds by over
SO. 100000 the entire importations of
the four years ended in March, 1896.
Mr.. Mindil states that the placing of
precious stones in their rough or ma
tive state upon the free list has es-
iablished q new mechanical industry
In America, and now nearly one-half
of the precious stones sold in this
country are cut and polished here.

LIKES THE PROBLEM PLAY.
II Was One Virtue In the Opinion Of
an Impecunious Young
New Yorker.

"They oan say what they like of the
problem play" said Reggie, according
70 the New York Commercial Adyer-
tiser, "but it's been a good friend to
US fellows that haven't much money
to spend on other people. Why, be-
fore the problem play came into ex-
istence chap was expected to take the
girls to the theater to see all the new
things, and, of course, in many cases
that meant the girls mother, too, and
supper for three after the play and
carriage, and, by Jove, to do that twice
a week made big hole in beggar's
allowance.
"But the playwrighting fellows got
wicked and wrote frisky pieces, and
now one can go alone or stay away al
together, just as one pleases. It's
case of free country and rights of the
individual. We owe those dramatic
chaps big debt, and we ought to be
grateful. No one expects us to invite
the girls, with or without their man.
mas, to see shocking plays. ! don't
, suppose the mammas would mind 60
ing if we asked them, but the girls
won't go, principally because they've
already seen the plays at uatinees,
and secondly because it looks and
sounds bad to go with young man to
see a play that TIC ministers are de-
nouncing. OF course some of the girls
would go, but they don't expect you to
ask EN-, and / don't.
"For my part, / hope the plays Will
continue to be shocking, at least until
my allowance is increased twofold, for
with bouquets and studio teas and
country clubs and bridge don't know
how l ever should be able to keep out
of the Ludlow street Jail if it were nor

A WAR MAP.


The Boston Herald comments on a
war map published by the London
Daily Mail and showing the present
status OF the South African campaign.
II Is an interesting map, and the main
features OF Il are well worth remem.
bering. for In all probability. before
long the British will commence more
vigorous campaign than they have pur-
sued Tor some time.
The map shows that there are Boer
forces In arms all the way from the
Portuguese border near Delagoa bay
10 within rs miles west Of Cape Colony.
In the north they are operating chiefly
at Lydenburg and west OF Pretoria.
The Orange Free State is quite free
from hostile troops. but In Cape Col
ony 20 the south they occupy a territory
about two hundred miles square.
The Mall estimates the Beers In the
Geld az 1890. OF these 1000 are said
70 be Transyaalers, 1900 Free staters.
i.C0o Boer invaders Of Cape Colony, and
5000 rebels" in the Colony. That Is
60 say. It Is estimated that more than
half Of the armed forces are IN Cape
Colony, and that the great majority Of
these are British subjects who have
risen in arms against the government

ATTACK AND DEFENSE,

We have received a copy Of the At
lanta Journal containing an article en-
titled "Mormonlsm a Worldwide Re-
llgion" by Rev. Walker Lewis, presld-
ing Elder Of the Methodlsts In that city
It Is one Of the most venomous, sour
ilous, un-Chrlstlan attacks that we
have ever seen. It explains nothing,
points out no tenet OF "Mormonsm" as
an excuse for rs blackguardism. holds
up no principle or doctrine or fact for
human enlightenment, but from first
TO last Is an outpouring Of hate In
language which we are surprised so re-
spectacle a Journal as that in which It
appears would print.
The most refined epthet the writer
could find wherewith to designate the
Latter-day Saints is billy goats"
Here is a sample Of his language, which
Is all we care TO reproduce: when
ever these long coated agents Of the
devil dlffuse their rot the place should
be closed and Quarantined. They are
itinerant pestllences and ought to be
denied the right Of anything In Atlanta
and Georgia but facility for flight, Per-
ditlon, given a carload Of lpecao couldn't
heave out OF IT'S slckening depths
vller mass OF lndlgested putridity than

We would not have attempted a.reply
TO such n TRADE under any clrcum-
stances, but we were saved from any
necessity Of doing SO By Elder ]. A.
Sorenson, a missionary laboring In
Georgia, who has taken up the cudgels
In defense OF "Mormonlsm," and In
dignifed but striking manner has met
every one Of Lewis vulgar assertions
and showed their falsehood and deprav-
fly. The Atlanta Journal was fair
enough to publish Elder sorenson's re-
ply, and we should think that the Meth
odlst preacher who made the attack
would feel thoroughly ashamed OF him
self and his course, after reading
Brother sorensons gentlemanly and
able response. The contrast between
the effuslon Of the Methodist asailant
and the defense of the Mormon" gem
tleman, must strike every reader Of the
Atlanta Journal with the wide differ
ence In favor Of the Latter-day Saint.

letter from British officer and pub
llshes by the New York Sun. The
writer claims that South Africa Is
largely a Dutch colony, and the very
men that take our money and eat
our food as loyal citizens and subjects
OF King Edward are at the bottom OF
their hearts -Boer," That is an adj
mission that the majority Of the white
people In South Africa are hostile 10
British rule. II this Is true. the diff
culties England has TO contend with In
that part Of the world are easily mag
lned. She must cover an immense area
with her troops and keep open long
lines Of communication. She must hunt
up small detachments Of Beers. that
operate In regions where the inhabi-
tants sympathize with them. and give
them aid.
How long will the struggle, under
such conditions LAST Every little VIC
tory costs the British enormous sums
and not few lives. To conquer may
be a matter OF honor with the British
government but the question Is wheth-
err honor has not already had all the
sacrifices that can be made honorably
on her altar, as far as this war Is con-
cerned. There should be immortal
glory for the statesman who
now can devise means of
healing up the wounds OF country
bleeding to death, and planting the
standard Of peace and good VIII on the
soil OF Africa, without the total exter-
mination Of brave and noble race.

PROTEST AGAINST MOB RULE.

Ex-Governor Thomas G. Jones, OF
Montgomery, Alabama, in a speech de-
llvered recently In the constitutional
convention OF that state, gave voice to
the following manly utterances against
the crime OF lynching:
'"These mob executions are brutalls-
Ing our children. bunting our religion
and undermining our civilization Can
anyone In the sound Of my voice rise
up and say that this Is not so? We
are undermining all noble ideals of
duty and manhood"
Then he pointed out that officers OF
the peoples choice are as much In
duty bound to perform their duties in
the face OF peril. as are soldiers, or
doctors, and others. One OF these du-
ties is to protect prisoners left to their
care, and not abandon them to mobs.
He said
when we surrender TO any local
public. opinion, which dominates In
some places, that q sheriff is not bound
TO take any risks, even to loss OF life
or limb In defense OF prisoner, We
abdicate all our past and bow down
and worship false and base standards
OF duty. Why should not the sheriff
die at his post as well as the locomo-
tive engineer, or the priest, or the doc
tor. or the soldier? We are setting
baleful example 70 our young sons,
who are coming up around us, II we
teach that when a prisoner Is given to
an officer that officer is free TO desert
his post Of duty because there may be
danger IN II. II is not like Alabama or
the South 20 tolerate such q doctrine.
Let us declare our faith as to this In
our fundamental law"
The address Is said to have carried
the anti-lynohlng measure before the
convention. It deserves\to be recorded
an a manly protest against one Of the
greatest evils Of our tlme-an evil
which threatens TO become a disgrace
10 our country and a peril TO our civil
lzation. We hope the ex-governors
sentiments will become general in the
South. We know Of no effort that is
more urgent or more beneficial TO the
entire country, than intelligent labor
for the suppression Of mobocracy in
whatever form It may appear.

AS TO BIOGRAPHIES.

Mr.. Andrew Lang Is weary OF the
long biographies that keep streaming
from the publishers presses, and
enters a protest In the London
Morning Post against the Life and
Letters plague. He says
"a great deal that is of the essence
OF mans life Is never told, and
great deal OF what Is utterly common
place Is usually narrated. The surface
currents Of our existence greatly re-
semble each other, these in lives and
letters are exhibited In needless length.
The inner verify perpetually escapes
us, thanks TO the decent habitual retl-
cence Of literary executors. Their
reticences | esteem and commend. BY
all means do not tear the heart before
the crowd like the heart of Keats. or
OF more recent victims Of biographical
or editorial indlscreton. Every human
heart must exhibit picture OF meal
culable interest, but how rarely ought
the veil to be withdrawn! In the case
OF the usual 'blographers' las Mr..
Gladstone called them), the error does
not lie In withholding intimate facts,
but in unrolling endless lengths of fact
which are commonplace"
There is much truth In all this and
It will meet with general approval. A
great part Of modern Lives and Let
ters' ia little more than padded lau-
datlons and panegyries OF the subject
of the biographies. Their real charac-
tiers are not to be shown up, they are
to be shown as perfect compounds OF
sweet reasonableness When Froude
published his Carlyle" he was
set upon by the critics and everybody
else because he presented Carlyle TO
the public as he was-a human being
with strong likes and dislikes, In many
respects a rough, rude man, but gent
Inc throughout He showed the world

and society ornament Mr.. Lang's ex-
ceptons to the ordinary Life and

PROF. KOCu's DISCOVERY.

Dispatch to the New York Herald.
The Importance Of the discovery Is
recognized as being two-fold. II not
only does away with the fear generally
entertained that tuberculosis may be
contracted by persons consuming meats
or milk from animals affected by the
disease. but II viii probably lead 10 O
modification Of the existing regulations
providing for the destruction Of such
meats and milk. For this latter reason
the subject is one In which the depart
ment of agriculture takes a lively inter-
est. The secretary OF agriculture. Mr..
Wilson, fully recognizes the importance
Of the discovery and its possible effect
upon the regulations OF his department.
as well as upon the restrictions imposed
by the German and other European
governments on American meats,on the
ground that there Is danger OF the in
PRODUCTION OF tuberculosis by allowing
them to be imported.

After Prof Koch's recent statement
OF his Views regarding tuberculosis II
was suggested In these columns that a
rare opportunity had come for someone
10 be a hero. Our idea was that a man
who should offer himself as a subject
for a test Of the question whether bo-
vine tuberculosis can be transferred TO
the human system would serve human
ity IN far higher way than he ,ould
by dying on the battlefield for his coun-
try, which Is only part OF humanity
at the best. Just this sort Of hero has
already appeared. surprising as the fact
may seem 10 most people. The dairy
commissioner OF Colorado. T. L. Mon
son. Is reported 10 have offered him
self for thorough test. on condition
that sufficient annuity be provided for
his family In case the test should result
fatally, Mr. Monson believes IN the
Koch theory and, therefore, ne may find
II easier TO run the risk than Others
would vet. for all that, he assumes the
risk OF death by his course and deserves
full credit for II.
