Missionaries.

Berlin, April 27.-Hugh j. Cannon,

peal to Emperor William for permis-
sion for the Mormons to remain in Ger
many, hoping that his majesty's policy
of religious tolerance may include the
Mormons. In his petition Cannon sets
forth the morality of Mormon doc

his adversaries to cite any example
which the Mormon teachings have been
subversive of the laws of the state or
of orderly citizenship He declares
also that by the command of the su-
preme head of the church poIygamy is
not taught.

Cannon last Wednesday sent to the
emperor and the empress copies of
the Book of Mormon in German. If
no aid is extended to the Mormon mis-
sionaries by Emperor William. and if
the orders of expulsion are enforced.
all the missionaries will leave quietly.
Cannon expects the United States to
intervene in cases where missionaries

himself believes he is carrying on a
great work. He unconsciously speaks
in epigrams, but his manner is al
ways earnest and he evidently feels
no humor in the situation Here are
some of the things he said last night:
IF you drink you can't go to
heaven, because God never drank
whiskey." you mustn't play cards
or baseball, because God never did"
do you suppose that God and the
white folks in heaven eat beef and
chicken and let the colored angels
eat pork on a side table," Sinner,

youthful evangelist took up the in
evitable collection, he apolcgized for
it and SAID: salvation is free and
the gospel is free; yes, and water in
the river is free, but it takes money
to lay a pipe line to your residence"
The audience was "huckleberry and
cream" one-a strange intermingling
of blacks and whites and when those
who wanted to ''be saved went up to
grasp the microscopic preachers
hand, the penitents included many of
both colors. The young evangelist
said he had been preaching ever since
he was three years and eleven months
old and had been in every state in

GOT INJUNCTION
AGAINST UNIONS.
Ohio Judge Grants One Forbidding the
Picketng and Boycotting a
Newspaper.

Hamilton, O., Oct. 12.-The Repub-
lican Publishing company of this town
which conducts an extensive job
printing business and publishes a
daily newspaper, has secured sweep
ing order of injunction from Judge
Belden against Hamilton Topographic
cal union, No. 293. the Hamilton Co
operative Trades and Labor Council,
the Nonpareil Printing company and
the individual members of each.
The complaint sets up the fact that
the plaintiff has no dispute whatever
with its employees, but solely because
the company refuses to discharge all
it's nonunion men and cease to run an
open shop the defendants have de-
clared a boycott upon it. 1t is further
alleged that the union, failing to &C
complish its end, declared a boycott
upon firms that are advertising in the
republican or patronizing the job de-
partment of the company.
The Injunction granted not only
forbids any further boycotting, pick
citing or intimidation of the plaintiff
or IS employees, but extends the same
protection to all of it's patrons. This
checks a plan of the union men to
picket the leading stores Of the city,
it is said. Judge Belden cited all
the union men involved to appear in
his court on Sunday afternoon.

AS to the claims Of the remaining

is probable that they will have to

Among department officials there is

A PICANINNY EVANGELIST
A Youthful MuIatto breaches the
Gospel at Boise, Idaho.

The Boise Statesman says: Lonnie
Lawrence Dennis. the boy evangelist
of Georgia, is holding nightly meet
ings in the G. A. R. hall in Boise.
Lonnie Lawrence Dennis is a prodigy.
He is a 9-year-old mulatto with an
abnormally big head. a certain rude
and picturesque eloQuence and a
deep religious fervor peculiar to. his
race. With good manager and an
ingenious press agent he would shake
the nation; as it is he is travelling
under the chaperonage Of his mother,
a characteristic colored woman, no
better and no worse than her neigh
bors and Of a type of which hundreds
may be seen on the streets Of Allan
Ia any day in the week. Although
the boy preacher is said to be 9
years, old and looks to be u, he is
dressed in kits appropriate to a pick
aninny of 4. This gives him a gro
tesque appearance that is highly alb
surd. Lonnie shows a marvellous IA
miliarity with the Bible and quotes
scripture on all occasions, but his ed
ucation along other lines has been
sadly neglected. Some of the Hber-
ties he takes with the kings English

ed.
The affair ended by the young hus-
band leaving both his wife and her
mother and coming to the United
States. He went to Westville, ILL.,.
where he has been working ever
since, and was finally located by his
irate mother-in-law.
A constable went to Westville and
returned with the young man and he
was taken before his young wife in
the justice court. Frank told her
how his heart had almost broken with
love for her and she assured him that
she still loved him.
The Justice then made an attempt
to patch the matter up amicably.

wife," he asked Frank.
81 am willing to live with her" the
young man answered.
"But he says I cannot live with
them" the mother-in-law declared.
"They positively cannot live together
unless I can live with them"
This announcement brought the
young man to the front and he re-
fused to have his mother-in-law in his
house or to live in hers.

Justice SABBATH said, 1--WE will have to
set day for hearing at which time
we will decide whether a young man
must live with his mOther-in-law."

This order Burwent is alleged to have
followed. Henry's baker tasted of it
and burned his tongue severely.
After the flour had been baked into
bread, Henry's baker had some of 1t

have shown the presence of enough

found that the presence of I've had

With such a candidate the vote of

Of the candidate fOrcibly appealed to

such a leader the democrats must be

For these reasons we are glad to
