Extra Member Question.

The next General Assembly is in trou-
BILE even before its sitting. Under the
constitution there can be but 100 MEN,
bers of the Legislature. but under the
provisions of the reappOrtionment act
there will be l0l members, and this
being unconstitutional would invali-
date the acts of the Legislator
1t is declared that the two hold-over
senators from the Twenty-siNth dis
trict will not resign, while under the
law there are 10 be eighteen senators
elected and eighteen hold-overs, thus
giving the upper house one more than
it ought to have. Attorney General
Pos: has given out an opinion as to
what he thinks will be the best thing
for the secretary of state to do. He
says:
Having carefully considered the
question of q surplus representation in
the Fourteenth General Assembly, ow-
ing to the provisions of the apportion-
ment act of 1901, there will be eight
cen hold-over senators and eighteen
senators to be elected at the next cleo
ton, and as such election will be the
only election where such difficulty can
arise, l reach this solution of the ques-
ton:
"First--lt will not avail for either
Senator Roberts of the old Twelfth dis
trict or Senator West of the old Eighth
district to resign. This would leave a
vacancy in either case, which would
have to be filled and thus more sena-
tors would be elected than the consti-
tuition allows.
"Second-My view Is that Senator
West represents the Eighth district,
which Is composed Of jefferson and
Clear Greek counties: this leaves Sen
ator Roberts 10 represent the Twenty
sixth district, composed OF Gilpin.
Clear Greek, jefferson and Boulder
counties, and that at the coming cleo
l.tion no senator should be elected from
the TwentyfsiSth district .as this will

WAR SQUADRON MANEUvERS
Begun Of the Atlantic Coast and Will
Last Until September.

Washington. July 2o.-The summer
maneuvers of the North Atlantic
squadron of the New England and
Middle Atlantic coast have now actual
ly begun. From now until the end of
the first week in September the squad
ION will work out problems prepared
by Dewey or the general board.
The picturesque feature OF the sum
mer's work will be the attempt OF sew
eral war vessels representing an
enemy, TO gain the coast through n
vicilant defending squadron. The lat
ter will send out scouts" and use its
utmost endeavor to locate the invaders
before any Of them may slip through
the lines and put the guardians of the
Nations safety TO shame. The navy
department now announces that this
feature of the maneuverS will take
place from the Goth. TO the 2oth of
August, inclusive.
This war game" will cover an area
of water 500 miles down the coast and
perhaps 500 or more outward in the At
lantic. The division of the North At
lantic squadron into an attacking and
defensive force has been placed entire
ly in the hands of Rear Admiral HiS-
ginson. The ''enemy's" ships will be
the tieetest which can be conveniently
assigned to that duty. for a slowm NOV
ing craft would furnish too easy prey
for the defending ships and scouts.

MORMON CHURCH DIVORCE.
Supreme Court Of Utah Holds That 1t
Is Invalid.

Salt Lake, July 22.-In the case of
Annie F. A. Hilton. appellant, VS..
Rose 2. Roylance, respondent, and the
other two cases which are relative
thereto, the Supreme Court yesterday
in an unanimous opinion, reversed the
decision of Judge Hall, who tried the
case, and ordered findings and decree
entered according to such reversal. The
case is of vast Importance to the peo-
pie of this community, and determines
the legal status of persons who are
sealed for eternity" under the cere-
mony of the Mormon Church.
About December /, 1872, plaintiff,
who was then Miss Annie Armitage
was supposed to be on her deathbed.
and the ceremony known as sealing
was performed. whereby DIR. John r.
Park and Miss Armitage We're to be
husband and wife after dealt. Miss
Armitage recovered from her Illness,
and March 10, 1879, she and Park
signed n document known as church
divorce whereby they agreed to dis
solve all relations which had existed
between them as husband and wife.
After this she married William Hilton,
now a Salt Lake policeman by whom
she has ten or twelve living children.
DR.. Park, during his life time, decided
certain properly TO hose T. ROylance,
and this action was brought to recover
title TO one-third of said property, to
which Mrs. Hilton claims she is en-
titled as the legal widow of John Il.
Park, deceased, and also for a family
allowance pending the determination of
the suit. She alleged in her complaint
that she never relinquished her rights
in said real estate and is still the own
er of the same. Judge Hall decided
that John r. Park and plaintiff never
became husband and wife. and hence
she was not entitled to any part of the
premises in controversy.
Justice Bartch delivered the opinion
Of the Supreme Court and Chief Justice
Miner and Justice Baskin concurred in
the same.
The church divorce is admitted by
counsel for respondent TO be null and
void. hence there is nothing to deter
mine on that point. The opinion there
lore holds that Mrs. Hilton was lawful
ly married TO John X. Park and upon
his death became bis legal widow. and
as such is entitled to her share of his

Cows in the Alps.

The COWS in the Alps are generally
very large and fine, of a dark mouse
color, growing white at the muzzle,
writes a correspondent of "The Chicago
Journal" Each one has a name, and
a bell around her neck, and, as the
herder must be with them all day,
they are so accustomed to being with
human kind that they really seem to
have human intelligence. Several
mornings when staying in the homes
of the mountaineers, l have got up at
daybreak to see them milk and care
for their herds, and as l saw how
gently they handled them, and the
trustful way the cows would lay their
heads against the keepers, as if trying
in their dumb way to express their af-
lection, it added to my regard for the
sturdy fellows, who looked as if they
might be as rough as bears.
One COW, who leads the herd, has
much larger bell than the others, and
as she starts off the rest follow along
the narrow path up the mountain side,
the different bells tinkling like chimes
in the early morning air and forming
a very romantic pastoral scene.

Ex-Governor MaccorkIe's Position.

The organs that endured an attack
of gleeful Mysteries over the alleged
political relapse of Ex-Governor Mac
Corkle, says the Parkersburg CIV. Va
Sentinel, are not getting SO much
comfort out of his corrected state
ments as to his position on the pend
ing issue. In recent letter to the
Staunton (Va.) VindicatOr the ex-
Governor says:
IF there is any creature on the face
of the earth for whom I have an I'M
mitigated contempt it is the poor
wretch who has left his party in its
weakness in order that he may stand
at the table where he can get his
hands amidst the loaves and the fishes.
The Republican party down in its
heart has an absolute contempt for
that individual and so has the honest,
answering Democrat who stands in
the ranks of his party notwithstand-
ing its present defeat"

A Joke Pa, Couldn't Stand.

At recent cornerstone laying in a
provincial town the stone was swing
ing in the grasp of a powerful crane
above the hole left for It to fit in.
Down in the hole an Irishman was
fussing about with bed of mortar.
Suddenly a portion of the tackle slip
ped, and down came the stone with
run. 1t lit on the Irishman' back,
and everybody expected to see him
fattened out as thin as paper when
the etone was lifted half a minute
later.
No sooner was the stone clear Of
the hole, though, than the man
sprang up like a jack-in-the-box. 1t
had merely touched him, then stuck.
He was covered in mortar from head
to foot, and was coughing, sneezlng
and splitting, to get it out Of his nose
and mouth. As soon as he could
speak, he addressed the men manag-
ing the crane:
Here, now Here, nowl ne
yelled. "Oi can stand a joke as well
as any man, but any of yees can have
me job after thot."
And he put on his coat and went
away, under the impression that the
highly respectable assemblage had
played a joke upon him.
