ernacle was full and il holds s, 900
comfortably. The building was
beautifully draped in black and
white, with the stars and stripes
occupying conspicuous place
over the organ. The immense
choir OF $50 voices were all in their
places on each side of the organ,
while directly in front of the organ
was President Smith and the
twelve Cor eleven now apostles;
then the bishops and the seventies
on down through different degrees
into the body OF the church. The
wives, children and grandchildren
came next and in taking their
places in the carriages the apostles,
bishops, etc, all took theiI places
previous to the wives and children
and rode next to the hearsc. The
floral display was magnificent and
took a number of carriages to con-
vey the flowers to the grave. The
casket was a beautiful white one,
also an elaborate white hearse.
Bands of music played funeral
marches and the spectacle was
quite an imposing one.
Last week was a notable one
here, being the spring meeting OF
the semi annual conference, when
the Saints gather to Zion from
every part OF the state and many
OF the adjoining states. attended
one meeting at the Tabernacle and
had to stand the whole time; as
that immense building was literally
packed, even the aisles being full
Of standing people. There must
have been easily 10000 people
there, and it was a wonderful sight
to see that many people under one
roof and all in plain sight. Con.
ference week here is sort OF gala
time, as the stores are all decorated
in honor OF the occasion, the pret.

clerks dressed in their best aud

all notable people, the gentleman
OF the party being none other than
notoriety few years ago by losing
his seat in congress. We thought
upon meeting him the first day at
the table that he looked very IA
miliar and said "it surely
couldn't be the Roberts who was
defeated in congress. A few days
later, however, he was pointed
/ out to Mr.. 5. on the street as the
very man. We recognized him
from the many pictures and car
,oons printed OF him at the time.
The PAIR OF twins that figured SO
largely in the cartoons at that
time have recently been supple
mented by another pair by the
same wife. He has but one wife
here and they have no children.
The other two wives live at Cen
,reville, a small resort about ten
minutes ride from the city. They
both have families and separate
establishments. The wife with
him here is lady physician with
a large and lucrative practice.
She is a beautiful and brilliant
woman and he is quite devoted to
her. They occupy an elegant
suite OF rooms just below ours.
The clever daughter that accom-
panied him to Washington and so
successfully parried the inquisitive
reporters. is recently married and
is now on wedding trip in Cali
fornia. Mr.. Roberts is man OF
very pleasing personality, whom
no one could know without liking.
Highly cultured, gifted orator,
and of a kindly, quiet disposition,
and while he tells most excellent
jukes there seems to be a vein OF
sadness running through his hu.
nor, no doubt caused by the
Areck OF his political ambition.
His only fault seems to be that
ne is polygamist, and that can be
condoned in measure when one
considers his being reared to the
Iaith, and his high position in the
church that sanctions it,
A most narrowing account of his

table one day, as the conversation
had drifted to talking of the hard
ships of the early pioneers. After
my recital therewas a moment, of
intense silence, and he, looking
reverently down at his plate, said:
THAT was my mother" After re-
covering his composnre he told us
all the particulars OF that sad oc-
currence much more graphically
than it is given in the book.
The other boaTder is lady, and
notable in her way too. She
