NEEDN'T SUPPORT THEM
Plural Wives Cannot Compel Nor
mon Husbands to Provide
for Them.

Salt Lake. Utah, July 16.-According to
decision of the state supreme court a
man is under moral but not legal obliga-
tions to support his plural wives and edu-
cate his children by such unions The
decision was rendered on an appeal from
the Utah county district court of a suit
for separate maintenance brought by
Mary Caroline Riddle, a plural wife Of
Isaac Riddle.
The supreme court Is Of the opinion
that notwithstanding celestial or plural
marriage is one Of the essential tenets of
the Mormon church, the legal status of
marriage exists between parties who. in
Utah before the enactment of any statute
upon the subject tho members Of that
church having made a contract Of mar
riage in which they actually agree to as
sumo and observe the legal obligations Of
that relation, and in pursuance of that
agreement openly to cohabit as man and
wife and hold themselves out to the pub
lie as SUCH But in the absence of such
an agreement the legal status Of marriage
cannot arise" Et.s-. -

many instances they have secured title to

Germs has thus acquired a stretch of
grass land which he has fenced in, ex-
tending over distance of sixteen miles
The attention of the commissioner of
the general land office at Washington has
been called to these conditions by petit
ton from the settlers in the affected dis
tricts. and by a letter of recent date, the
petitioners have been assured that the
department will send special agent to
Investigate the points involved. s4
The outcome of these contests Is be-

result will mean much to the settlers
now inhabiting the Buford reservation.

YELLOW PERIL A MYTH
japanese Lecturer Says China Can
Never Conquer World Either Po-
litically or Commercially.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, July 16.-sThe yellow peril is
a myth" declared DR.. Toyokici Iyenaga in
a lecture at the University of Chicago to-
day. The Chinese will never conquer the
world in a commercial sense, because once
they have adopted the methods of the
western nations they learn to live luxu-
riously and their ratio of consumption and
production is relatively the same as the
occidentals.
1.-THE Chinese as nation are the most
commercially gifted people in the world.
They have high sense Of honor in trade.
The Chinese become good mechanics with
little teaching, and they can stand all con-
ditions of climate and more work with
less fatigue than any other people. I
consider the Chinese laundryman a won
der and a hero. He works eleven hours a
day without n1urmur. There is an old
adage, Go to the ant, thou sluggard.' A
modern paraphrase would read, GO to the
laundryman.'

FOR YOUNG WOMEN
a Field In Which They Are Quite Success.
Harper's Weekly.

Harper's Weekly.
A considerable number of young women,
according to a rural observer, are enga-
ging in the poultry business, and seem,
from all accounts, to be making success
of it. A correspondent tells of being in a
Chicago dry goods store on Saturday af-
ternoon, not long ago, when she saw one
Of the sales girls receive her wages for the
week. She was paid 81, having been in
her place from s o'clock in the morning
until o'clock in the evening every day:
1t was necessary for her to be well and
more or less extensively dressed, toBbe
constantly on her feet, and to keep her
temper and self-possession, frequently UNI
der trying circumstances. On the other
hand, says our observer, take the case Of
the farmer girl. None makes less than 81
per week, and many make IS. They work
only two or three hours day; their sur
roundtngs are conducive to good health
and cheerfulness, and they can dress as
they feel inclined. The writer mentions
the case of two young girls who sold last
year an average Of IS worth Of eggs every
week during the spring and summer Nor
did they sell all they might have disposed
Of, for they raised over 400 young chick
ems besides.

A TRAGIC RIVALRY
The Conflict Between Russia and Japan

Gunton's Magazine.

Gunton's Magazine.
That conflict between Japan and Rus
STA is inevitable, and not far off is evident
to even casual observer Of political con-
ditions in the orient. The basis Of the
coming difficulty is neither sentimental
nor Insignificant, and moreover it is one
that diplomacy cannot alter or avert.
Japan has the largest shipping and car
rying trade in Manchuria, having had lit
ships with a tonnage of 463, ooO entering
the port Of Niuchwang in 1902, and much
larger proportion for the year 1903 up to
the present time. Her imports at this
port amounted to 2,160,S29 taels, and the
exports from this port to Japan for the
year 1902 amounted to S,749,458 taels.
Russia's shipping amounted to one
steamer, and her imports and exports
were - none.
Japan's exports to Korea in 1901 were
11,S72,55o yen, and her imports from Ko-
rea were 10,052,4SS yen, while Russian i'm
ports and exports were merely nominal
Japan's exports to all Of China
amounted, in 1901, to AZ, 925, 579 yen, hav-
ing doubled in four years, and her imports
from China were 27,256,9s6 yen

ELECTRIC FARMS.

In the application Of electricity to every
day work. Germany has. perhaps, gone
further than any other nation. Electric
cally heated and operated cooking and
laundry apparatus Is In common use
there, but the most striking single devel-
opment is the electrical farm.
Take, for example, the cluendnau farm,
which covers $50 acres, and It's dairy
handles 200 gallons OF milk daily, Every
part Of this farm Is lighted by electricity,
and Is In telephone communication with
every other part The dairy has an cleo
trical churn, the barn contains electrically
operated feed and carrot-cuttlng ma
chimes, and even the Grlndstone II turned
by a small belt from the shaft connected
with the barn motor.
The water-pumpIng apparatus is run
by electricity; all the buildings are lighted
by incandescent lamps, and there Is an
electrical indicator at the doors OF oil the
houses. This farm has also It's own
| thrashing aud grist mill, the machinery
| OF which Is turned by current from the
| miniature central station, and finally
| there Is a small sawnill, which gets It's
power from the same station, On the

| tural machines. The power for all these
