first that was erected by the Mormons

Rigdon and Brigham Young still standing
on the hill In an excellent state Of preser-

Kirkland was a prospecting town Of from

whom were followers Of the Mormon
Church.

prophet was killed.
These dauehters Of Brigham Young will
also visit Chardon, the county seat of

Of her present husband. For several

fiuenced her, nor had he caused her affec-
ton to be alienated from Elson. She de-
MED that Mr.. Anderson urged her TO Sc
cure divorce, and also denied that she

the outskirts OF the city, the president
started homeward. lie reckoned that II lt
had taken him forty-hve minutes TO walk

and went on with his work.
Promptly at 1 O'Clock the cashier re-
turned and Hedges yielded his seat to
HIM. He put on his hat and coat and
announced that he was going TO luncheon.
Just as he was leaving the cashier called
and asked him IL the St Paul stock had
arrived. Hedges said that IL had not, and
then went out.
Thereupon Mr.. Ames, who had express
iy asked that the stock be sent over be-
fore noon. went TO the telephone and rang
up A. s. Leland q Co.
"Why don't you send over that stock?"
he asked.
"sent 1t over an hour ago." was the re-
ply.
"Well. we haven't got it,
"Well, we've got you check for ST.
600, so you'd better take another look"
was the response.
Mr.. Ames had the cashier take another
look and a messenger was hustled over
TO the Office of Leland e. Co. The check
was brought back and the man who had
delivered the stock described the man
who had received IL. Hedges had been
away from the Office half an hour over
time, so without any delay a notice Of
the theft was sent out over the tickers
and Captain Titus of the detective bureau
was notified.
At 1880 o'clock Zimmerman a. Forshay
called up to say that they had the stock
described. They gave the name OF the
member OF the Consolidated Exchange
who had put IL in their hands for sale
and when detectives saw him he said
at once that he had bought the stock of
Hedges without hesitation, giving him
$l7 900 cash for IL.
Captain Titus sent out an alarm for
Hedges. Every ferryhouse and railroad
station was watched Hedges lived with
his wife and two children both grown
up. at 7ls Prospect place. Brooklyn. Mrs.
Hedges had not heard tonight what had
happened. She attributed her husbands $
failure to come home to business. Two
detectives and an employe OF Ames.
Swan & Co. spent the night i'm front OF
the house waiting for Hedges TO appear
Another version current was that
Hedges has got only 5000 on the trans
action. II was said that he sold the
stock to consolidated exchange firm
which has long been customer OF Zim-
norman a. Forshay's. The firm sold the
stock to Zimmerman a. Forshay, but
when IL was learned that the stock had
been stolen the seller refunded $1,000 to
Zimmerman & Forshay.

LAST CONCERT.
Boston Symphony Orchestra
Delights a Large Audience.

The Boston Symphony orchestra gave
Its sixth and last concert last night in In
fantry hall, with Mr.. Timothy Adamowskl
as soloist. and IL was probably owing 10
his appearance that so large an audience
was assembled, for he is always a prime
favorite in Providence. especially among
the many violinists here.
The program opened with Mendelssohns 8
overture, "Fingals' Cave" which is a
perfect tone picture OF the scenes which
the composer on his visit TO the Hebrides.
IL IL said that the first twenty measures
OF the overture came into his head at
seeing the cave. and he thereupon re-
solved to paint in tone the wonderful
scenery and the feelings produced by IL.
That he accomplished what he intended
cannot be doubted by anyone who heard
the overture last night. for IL was played
in n wonderfully artistic way under the
mastery direction OF Mr.. Gericke.
The Saint-Saens Concerto I'm Il minor
for violin Is not so widely known as
many. and IL was certainly a musical
treat to hear II played by Mr.. Adamowski.
who as an artist stands in the first rank.
The tone which he produces is wonderful
in Its purity and strength and his execu-
tion faultleSs. The first and third move
ments OF the concerto are heavy and
the contrast. as made by Mr.. Adamowski
was beautiful in the extreme.
The Good Friday Spell" from Wag-
ners "Parsifal." Is az the end of the first
scene in the third act and represents the
blessing OF Parsifal by Gurnemanz Here
comes i'm the Parsifal motive I'm the bass
which develops into an imploring period
and ends with the Grail theme with the
whole orchestra fortissimo. Here follow
the motives OF Baptism and Faith, and
then comes "a hymn OF THANKSGIVING
which theme is finally absorbed in the
Coed Friday melody. The most beautiful
part of the work is the melody played by
the flute and oboe to the sustained ac-
compartment OF united strings.

San Francisco, ,April17.-- Back of the mar
riage OF William Halleck Deming, the
young California millionaire and Miss
Azalene Earle. which took place recently
In Trinity Episcopal church. New York,
there is a romantic story. Miss Earle
was Central girl i'm the local tele-

was conducted by wire.
AT first IL was just the calling for a
number and getting IL. Then, as each
learned the others voice came an ex-
change OF Good mornings" and Good
evenings
on the weather and other impersonal sub
jects. Then Central" and the Num-
ber" began inquiring about each others
health. These inquiries grew quite solicit
Gus, and out OF them came an exchange
OF names-"Miss Earle" and Mr.. DEM
ing"
These served for a while then IL was
"Azalene' and william" BY the time
conversation reached this stage Deming
made known the fact that he owned
locomobile and was weary OF riding alone.
After that he had company--the hand
soonest girl on the drive, many said, and
with large truth. for Miss Earle was a
young woman OF striking beauty. More
over. she was q girl of education and mu-
sical accomplishments.
The locomobile had everything its own
way for a while. Then Miss Earle's par
ents sent her east TO complete her mu-
sical studies. Deming soon followed her,
and the sequel OF the romance came I'm
the recent marriage.
