bers in the Heath church. We have,
all told, loss of more than thirty
members, and chiefly caused by the
chief pastor, who, while possessing
great ability and being man, of piety,
is too domineering and too inconsid-
crate in his dealings with the various
pastors. What was formerly looked
upon as zeal for his church is now
considered offensive aggressiveness."
Why members, who value the sal
walton of their souls more than any
thing, should sever their connection
with the church, which they supposed
to be divine, is, IL not inconsistent, at
least singular. And the only reason
for this strange action is because the
chief pastor was not popular. Another
charge was that the superintendent
dealt in stocks, and floated his shares
among pious members in the east. DR..

Criminal CareIessness,

n MALLPOX is spreading rapidly in
Salt Lake City and many other
sections of the intermountain
country, and nothing worthy of men
ton has been done to check it. 1t is
true that the disease seems to be of
an unusually mild type and the mortal
ity has not been great, but it is to be
feared that we are living in a fools
paradise if we think that nothing worse
is in store for us.
Many can remember the terrible epi-
demic of smallpox which decimated the
city of Montreal some years ago. The
type of the disease was mild when it
first broke out and for two years or
more people paid but little attention to
the danger in their midst. Then, al
most in the twinkling of an eye, the
mild form changed to the malignant
continent type and thousands persisted
before the drastic measures adopted by
the Canadian government could produce
any effect.
This Montreal epidemic taught, at
terrible cost, the value of vaccination.
The mortality was practically confined
to the French Canadians who had neg
lected or refused to protect themselves
in this way, while all the deaths occur
ring among, the English speaking resi-
dents of the city, who were thoroughly
could be counted on the
fingers of one hand.

The Police and the Law.

THE city councillors seem to have
elected chief of police by f1uke.
They did not mean to do it-at
least two of their number say so. It
would be interesting to have these gem
! tlemen explain what they did mean by
casting their votes, as representatives
of the people, for something which they
did not approve. To make matters
worse, doubt has been cast on the le-
gality Of the appointment, state of
affairs not conducive to good discipline
in the ranks of the police force
For nearly two years the policy of
the police department has vacillated
from day to day. Gambling houses
would run wide open and saloons would
be allowed to break the Sunday closing
law with impunity for weeks at time,
and then the chief would be seized with
a spasm of virtue or something else of
an acute nature and the lawbreakers
would suddenly become lawabiding cit
liens for a few days. Why these
changes took place no one ever told,
but a whispered word would throw the
town wide open" and a significant nod
would close it tight again.
One lesson at least has been taught
by all this mysterious maneuvering. 1t
is possible to close up public gambling
houses. 1t is easy to do so whenever it
is understood that the police mean
business. Chief Sheets says he will en-
force the law. The people know he can
If he will
Nothing is so demoralizing to public
as this tacit permission of |
lawbreaking. It breeds contempt for all |
law, it educates the people to look with |
upon breaches of the GRIM
NAL code and it causes them to take |
the law into their own hands when |
serious crimes have been committed |
instead of trusting to the machinery of
he courts of the land for redress. Bet
.er allow open gambling, better wipe
LII such enactments off the statute
books than teach the rising generation

philadelphia Record.

1t has remained for Peter Nissen of
Chicago to thrill the hearts of the res
ldents of the Niagara locality with an
opinion that there is gold in paying
quantities at the bottom of the Niagara
whirlpool, that river pocket that is so
full of mystery. Nissen is the man who
twice boldly navigated the whirlpool
rapids in boat of his own eonstruc-
ton, and on his second visit to the
whirlpool is alleged to have taken
soupdings in order to penetrate the

was dragged out of her, under fierce
cross-examination by one of the ablest
lawyers in the country.
She confessed under oath that she
had never been a nun or member of
the Catholic church. She told the story
of her shameful life upon the streets
of London, England. The records
showed that she had been arrested five
times and convicted three times in that
city. Twice she was sent to prison for
soliciting, and finally she was convicted
of robbing a drunken man upon the
street. For this last offense she was
given her choice between a states
prison and long term in reform
atory for fallen women. She chose the
latter and was committed to a reform
atory under the charge of the Sisters
of the Good Shepherd. In this refuge
she picked up a certain knowledge OF
the doctrines of the church, which she
put to such evil uses in days to come.
She rode to comparative wealth on the
crest of the A. P. A. wave, but what
did it all profit her in the end?

He said there were two sisters,

They were young and pretty, but they
seldom laughed; they never wore
comely clothes; they did nothing but
sit in a stopped attitude, sewing all

VINO writes carefully and well and does
not have his eye perpetually upon the |
box office. His recent book, "The Des- |

literary craft. The Ivory Tower seems
strangely deserted in these days. Three |
Or four of the novelists know how to |
write. The others go in for the plume
and sword sort of thing that wins an
easy and perilous popularity. The Des-
