him witness the crime, then had him fol-

from the bridge, up alleys, around cor

a train and left town, stopping in a small
town about thirty miles out, and here he
registered some name. AS to whether 1t
was an assumed name or not am unable
to say. and after registering he went
across the street and stepped in saloon.
After taking several drinks he returned to
the hotel and stayed until early in the
morning, when he took a train and got off
at little town, which, think, but could
not positively state, was Columbus, and
went to the outskirts, to a small house

This constituted Church divorce" as
1t is known in Utah. No action was taken
i'll any civil court, but the divorce was
recognized by the Mormon church, which
constituted law unto itself in those
days.
In October, 1875, Mrs. Park was
sealed to William Hilton, now a pa
trolman on the Salt Lake City police
force. Several children resulted from the
union, and, until his death, Dr. Park en-
tered into his former spouse's life only as
a friend.
Dec. 5, 1900. the aged educator died. His
estate was found to be worth $4,000, and
he had left practically all to the Univer-
sity of Utah, Of which he was one of the
founders.
Then came Anne Armitage Park Hilton
to the front. She had received no beouest
in the will, and she claimed third of
the estate as her right he
widow of DR.. Park. Her lawyers set up
the claim that the ceremony of sealing
for eternity constituted a legal marriage.
while the church divorce was not a legal
divorce.
These points had never been ruled upon
judicially, and the case attracted wide
attention among the mormons In the
lower court Judge Hall ruled against
Mrs. Hilton. The supreme court how
ever, has decided in her favor, declaring
that sealing constitutes legal marriage
and that church divorce is Illegal None
of the judges who passed on the case are
mormons.
Defining the legal status of sealing, ;"
or celestial marriage. the supreme court
says:
1T is clear, according to the revealed
(church) law, that to be sealed was to
be married for time and eternity, and
that the sealing ceremony is q marriage
ceremony, which is good at common law.

ordered by Brigham Young
~ and carried out in accord
I EvA ance with the rites Of the
Mormon church, has been
- declared legal by the SUI
preme court of Utah. Anne Arn1itage
Park Hilton has been pronounced the
widow of the late DR.. John r. Park. The
thousands of dollars which the distin-
guished mormon educator left to the
University of Utah must be given to her.
But the money is not worrying the
mormons half as much as the far-reach-
ing effects of the supreme court decision.
This legal finding has tied knot in the
tenets of mormonism which cannot be
untangled. Hundreds of women who were
married according to the celestial form
find that they now have more than one
husband-a condition which they have
always looked upon as being an unpar-
donablo sin.
There is no way of getting around the
embarrassing state of affairs. The SUI
preme courts ruling is final, and what's
more, it is reversal of the finding of the
lower court.
This strange condition has been
brought about by a peculiar phase of the
mormon institution of marriage. The fol-
lowers of Joseph Smith go through cere-
monies good for this world and for the
next. making a distinction between the
earthly marriage and the celestial
marriage" Some women are sealed" or
married to one husband tor this earth
and another husband for heaven. Hereto
fore the celestial marriage" has not
been recognized as applying to this earth.
Now comes the court with q decision
which says that a spouse selected on
earth as a companion for heaven only is
a spouse indeed In this world, and NOR
mon women who have made other selec-
lions for their earthly existence find
themselves in highly embarrassing po-
sition.
DR., Parks desire to ease the mind OF
a woman who, he thought, was dying,
caused all the trouble. The woman was
Anne Armitage. When nineteen years
old she heard a mormon missionary
preaching on the streets of London and
decided to embrace his faith.
She was poor and alone. She heard al
Turing tales Of the promised land, amid
the mountains Of America, and SO she
applied In Liverpool at the mormon agen-
cy for transportation to the United
States.
She was given Storage passage on q
ship by the mormon agent, George F.
Gibbs, now secretary to the president of
the church.

of hypnotism came up. One of the party
claimed that it was impossible for hyp-
rotist to exercise his powers when any
distance separated him from his subject.
The discussion became rather heated,
and the climax was reached when the
professor declared that he could not only
hypnotic anybody in a distant city, but
that he could go one better.
Without hypnotizing. he could convey
any message to any subject, be he ten or
a thousand miles away.
Perhaps this assertion was rather fool
ish, but then In the heat of argument one
Is In danger of doing foolish things.
Immediately a bet was made to the eff
feet that what the professor declared to
be possible was impossible.
A jury of Judges was selected. They
chose for a subject on Of their number,
who was at that time en- route for New
York.
All the subject knew was that he was
expected to telegraph on certain date
his impression of that day to the jury,
which would be stationed at Indianapolis.
The Jury also decided upon message.
On the date named Prof. Daggy, for the
first time. was told what to convey to the
man in New York.
Without moments hesitation the pro-
fessor began to exercise his hypnotic pow
ers upon his distant subject. Over and
over again he repeated to himself the
words Of the MESA ge: ''I am to die at
midnight, and my death will be painless
and slow. Until that time am to con-
fer with no living SOUL
This all happened at an early hour In
the morning.
About o'clock in the afternoon a tele-
gram arrived from New York.
Tt was signed, James Moody, the name
of the subject, and contained the follow
ing words: .~feat
"Am verv uneasy The words T am to
die at midnight and my death will be
painless and slow. Until that time 7 am

running through my mind all day. What

Dream Restores Riches.

A case that Is puzzling English psy-
biologists is the dream of a Leichester-
shire clergyman. In his sleep he saw
the open pages of a church register, AMI
thereon read the details of the marriage
of Matthew Harley to Ellen Howard.
The register was in a town not far
away.
The clergyman had this dream three
successive nights. When convinced he
made his way to the village. Going to thu
church he found the register and all the
details of the marriage recorded just as
he had dreamed.
He advertised in the papers for the par
ties and by return mail came a reply from
firm Of solicitors informing him that
they had searched in vain for the mar
rage certificate. Now that it had been
found a family once rich, but now in
poverty, would be given their rights.

Below we give some of the pa,
pers read at the Teachers lnsti-
tute recently held at Amarillo.
How Teach Spelling.
For years my teaching of spell
ing consisted in trying to reach the
limit fixed by the course of study
My success, if the word is applica-
bic, lying in the fact that | was
sometimes able to do so in the lin
tied period of time allowed. My
pupils would be able to give in prop
er sequence the letters of a fairly
good proportion of words, with no
conception of the use, origin or
meaning of the words. Being
aroused to my short cornings, |
emancipated myself from an iron
bound course Of study, from all
previous ideas Of my duty to this
necessary evil in public school
work, and ! determined that from
that time forward would have but
one END in view, and to that end |
would work though the results
might be only approximate. ! re-
solved that with sufficient time and
efficient means each word taught
should become a part of the child.
wished to create within the child
the love of words for their own
sake, to make the study not merely
test of memory but of the reason
as well. In my teaching of this
study | am debtor both to the
Greeks and Barbarians for ideas
and devices, which by their novelty
or amusing qualities, tend to fix
the impressions given to stimulate
the interest and foster the habit of
accuracy.
Stated briefly my method at
present is this: Assign for lesson
a few words to be spelled and de-
fined; require these words to be
used in sentences before the next
recitation period, thus giving two
days TO one set Of words; when
certain number Of lessons has been
learned usually a page in our
spellers-a review should be held.
On definition days, as we call
them, the words are written by the
pupils, papers are exchanged and
graded, this being considered a
most valuable spelling lesson. !
Each word must be correctly writ
ten, no mercy being shown in case
of doubtful letters, and each must |
be accurately defined. After pa
pers are returned and grades re-
ported discussion of each word
follows, in which synonyms are
called for, and nice distinctions
in the use of the words are i'm
pressed upon the minds of the pu-
pills. This prepares for the next
lays lesson, in which the same
words are used in sentences. K
AS stated these are prepared be-
ore class time, are to be written
according to a uniform mode of ar
and q uniform schedule
# correction is used. BY this
neans order, neatness, accuracy
nd promptness are taught besides :

one that rhymes with it. BY acct
dent learned that this is needed
many pupils being unable to give
words of similar sounds. Another
rhyming game is useful for this
purpose: a pupil announces a word
rhymes with his selected word
/ the pupils guess what his word is,
defining the word they think he has
chosen: the first pupil guesses what
word they are defining, until one
is fortunate enough to guess the
word selected by first pupil. When
the days exercise is concluded the
new lesson is discussed. Drill in
pronouncing new words is given.
Attention is called to difficult
words, to interesting words, to
words with histories, to those that
double final oonsonant or drop f.
nal e. to those that do not, some
insightis given into derivation of
words, simple roots are taught,
the pupils easily giving words from
same root, preflxes and suffixes-
un, in, on, or, err, eto.-and their
meanings are taught. All of this
is incidental but diaoritics and syl-
tables should be taught daily. o.
casionally rule for spelling should
be taught.
The work on review days is oral,
thus the two methods are conbin-
ed. The lesson is usually conduct
ed in the old stand-in-line-and-
rundown fashion. When. a
change is expedient a spelling
match isarranged. Sometimes one
side will give the word and the
other the definition. those missing
being expected to take their seats.
This also tests their knowledge of
the words.
To encourage the class to better
efforts daily register of grades
upon the blackboard is a good plan
for short while. This year ap-
piled the old story of the frog
climbing out of the well to nv
spelling class. Those whose grades
were above 90 enrolled their
names on the board; each day, their
grades are added to this unless the
grade falls below 90 or the pupil
is absent. Either contingent caus-
es the name and grades to be
erased and a new start must be
made. As an incentive to the en- |
tire school as well as to the indi
Vidual, we are using picture con-
test. A beautiful picture by
Mauve, Shepherds Lane, has
been purchased for one school and
s contested for monthly in spell
ng examination on the work done
Turing the month. That this is
proving effectual is shown in the
Erade of the entire school; for the
irst month the average for each
,upil being Sc, the next 90. By h
be terms Of the contest even the
Urinary pupils have an equal
hance with the rest of the school.
