WILL FIGHT REED sMoUT.
Ministerial Alliance workipg gainst Election
of Mormon Apostle.
(By the Associated Press.)


Salt Lake City, Nov. 1S.-The Minis
terial Alliance of Salt Lake is making
preparation for a vigorous fight against
the election of Apostle Reed Smoot to
the United States Senate, and, failing in
this, to carry the fight against him to the
halls of Congress. A plan for organized
effort on this line, it is said, has already
been outlined and will be taken up at
the next meeting of the Alliance. The
general idea is to make fight similar to
that waged against Brigham II. Roberts
in the House.
Not only will the matter be brought
before the non Mormons of the State, but
if the fight is unsuccessful in the Legis
lature, then an attempt will be made to
make Mr.. Shoots election national
issue and a petition will be drafted to
Congress, asking that Mr.. Smoot, as Il
high official of the Mormon Church, be
refused a scat in the Senate.

news that Mr.. Arthur Ernest Kidd, a
well-known architect of that city, has
made complete recovery from catarrh of

nearly quarter of century. He writes
the following from IS Hamilton ave.:

if Peruna helps me in the future as it
has in the past, / don't know why l
can't. The druggists say Peruna is one
of the best selling medicines they have
in stock &c. r. HARDEN.
Peruna can be relied upon to cure
slight colds and coughs and other ca
tarrhal ailments with a promptness that
is unequaled by any other remedy.
If cold has settled in any portion of
the body and produced catarrh, it is gen
orally thought by people that they must
suffer on year after year without any
hope of cure. This is not true, however,
Peruna cures such cases. Thousands OF
testimonials that can never be used
attest this fact.
Any one wishing free literature on
this subject should address DR.. Hartman,

matter OF color. The glare is bad enough,
too. The electric and incandescent lights
are simply fearful on ones eyesight.
But the thing | quarrel with, more than
with any other influence. is the condition
which limits the scope Of ones vision. The
eye should have a broad range. Ore should
have the opportunity Of seeing a long dis
lance. We are denied this opportunity. We
are hemmed and hedged in until the dis
lance we are capable Of seeing is very short
Indeed. This is why am a strong advo-
cate OF parks or promenades. Green Is nat
urally a restful color, and II the city could
be provided with long avenues and splendid
parks, where ones eyes could stretch out in
a long vista, It would be a great thing.
When we come 10 think OF the thing Sc
riously, the benefit TO the human eye alone
would amply Justify the city in building
~roadways and parks and things OF that
sort to rest the human eye.
The human eye needs rest. It may hurt
my business, the business OF the optician.
but II Is a good thing. High buildings and
loud colors and the glare Of many lights are
conditions which simply force a majority Of
mankind to resort to artificial means Of
seeing, and these conditions are rapidly
producing a race OF spectacle wearers. The
conditions are bad. They should be cor
rected. Or at least the bad influences
should be minimized so that the injury
would not be so great as It is. The eye
should be given sufficient scope. II should
be given that range which would cultivate
the finer qualities Of this, the finest and
most perfect Of all human organs. That's
why I'm in favor Of parks and roadways
and all that sort Of thing"

his mother gently rebuked him for trying
TO deceive her. He spoke Of whales and
porpoises, and the old lady shook her
head and said that, as for her, she didn't
believe q word Of II.

and had found tangled in the hukes some

and a murmur Of incredibly went around
the circle.

another.

long, replied Kelley.
There was a general unbelieving laugh.
How much lie can you get from one?'
was next asked.
"a good whale will make about 24O
barrels
They didn't believe II. They weren't to
be fooled, that way simply because they
were countrymen.
THE captain finally grew reckless.
'Well.' he said, I'll tell you OF a little
experience I once had on the coast of Peru.
Wed sighted near the shore a big whale
with a calf by her side. The boat put in
after her, and l was in charge of the har-
poon at the bow.

Ina New York City.
There are about twenty-five women law
yers in New York City actually engaged in
the practice Of their profession, some In
business for themselves, and some acting
as associates with their husbands. Those
engaged in the law practice alone follow a
general practice, while others who do not
care to appear In court have taken up
some special branch of law, such as real
estate or In handling of estates.
One woman lawyer claims that there arc
many women who prefer to consult with
women lawyers as they would with women
doctors. They feel that a woman lawyer
would not take advantage Of their ignor-
ance as a man might, and they can ask
more questions Of a woman than they can
OF a man without being turned down with
s~cornful looks and gruff answers. As to
fees. the women admit that they do not
receive as much money for the same class
Of work as men do, except in trial cases,
but they seem to be pretty well satisfied
with their incomes and do not complain
Of business being at all slow.

human eye that the average person is con-

color has a great deal TO do with the weak
ness OF the human eye at this time. Glare
figures as an important factor in the Inn
