Abraham Lincoln, president of the
United States. Her marriage to Sena-
tor SmOot took place in Salt Lake City
nineteen years ago, and they have six
children-three boys and three girls
the eldest, Harold, being seventeen
years of age. Their home is now at
Provo, about forty-fiv miles from Salt
Lake City.
Abraham o. Smoot, father of the
senator, was a polygamist, and Reeds
mother was his third wife, Annie Kir-
slime MOuritsen, who was born in Nor
way. Reed was her third child and
the oldest son of family of sever
children.
The senator's first work after he
graduated from the University of Des-
eret, now the Brigham Young acad-
envy, at Provo. was as q porter in the
Provo Cooperative Mercantile institu-
ton. y year later, at the age of eight
cen, he became manager of the concern,
in which his father held large inter
est. His fortune is now estimated at
a million.
He was called and set apart as an
apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints in 1900. The
Mormon church is ruled by first pres
idency, consisting of the president and
his two cOunselOrs. Next in authority
is the quorum of twelve apostles. Their
jurisdiction is the world, wherever the
numerous ramifcations of the church
extend. DevOut Mormons look upon
the president of the church as the di-
rect representative of God on earth
The apostles are the agents of Gcd.
Senator Smoot is in the line of promo
ton, and, being younger than most Of
his associates, may one day become
president of the church.

Jerusalem convention proper, though
much preliminary work in the line Of
conferences, organization, etc, will be
done on shipboard en- route. After
leaving New York the first stop will be
ut FunchaI, Madeira, where a little
more than a day will be spent. Gil
braltar will be next visited ana the
of the British fortress and that part
of Spain which can be seen there.
Proceeding then across the end of
the Mediterranean, the steamer touches
at Algiers, going thence to Malta Then
comes Pir8us, with an excursion to
Athens, to which three days are al
lotted. At Athens a Sabbath service
will be held on Mars hill. Then comes
Constantinople, where likewise three
days will be spent, from which point
the steamer goes on to Smyrna, where
excursions will be run to Ephesus, and
thence on to the first Syrian port touch
ed, Beirut. From Beirut those who
go overland to Damascus leave the
party.
The others, after making a short

end overland excursion or may go di-
rect to Yafa, where they will be con-
veyed by small boats to land and take
rail for Jerusalem. Here two weeks
may be spent by those who desire that
length of time, during which period
the river Jordan, the Dead sea, Hebron
and many other historic Biblical points
in which the country round about Je-
rusalem abounds will be visited
Although by that time the object of
the trip will have been fulfilled, the
journey will be by no means ended, for
before returning the steamer will go to
Alexandria, where its passengers will
take rail for Cairo, and those who de
sire may go down the Nile as far as
Luxor, Karnak and Thebes The re-
turn voyage is to be made by the way
OF Naples, from which point Rome and
POmpeii are easily reached; thence to
Villefranche and back to New York.
The project has aroused the greatest
enthusiasm in the Sunday school world,
and its fulfillment will mark an epoch

vention.

ELEyATING A CITY.
HOW GALVESTON is TO BE RAISED
ABOVE THE DANGER LINE.

Mighty Measure OF PrecaUtiOz
Against the RRvaGes of FIOod-Im~

Bates, who Planned the Work.
When the city of Galveston completes
| its work of self preservation, it viii
have arisen so high above the waters OF
the gulf of Mexico that all fear of a
recurrence Of the disaster of Septem-
Der, 1900, which destroyed over $40,-
| 100000 worth of property and 5000
lives, will have forever disappeared.
Within a few weeks work will be be
gun on the task of raising the grade OF
the city an average of about eight
feet over an area of two square miles,
work which will require 100000
cubic yards of filling. This great i'm
provement is the final step in Calves
toms scheme for protection. Never be
fore has Il city of 10000 inhabitants at
tempted so great work. Buildings
large and small have been raised, bur
an entire city never.
Plan after plan was discussed by the
state legislature, but the situation was
a difficult one to overcome. Galveston

with the city on its eastern end, blocks
the entrance to Galveston bay, great
sheet of water. Exposed to the full
sweep of every southerly storm, stand
ing even in it's highest parts only q
few feet above the surface of the wa
ter. Galveston was at the mercy of the
gulf.
1t was finally decided to build 4 sea
wall. Work was begun early in 1902,
and an immense barrier three and
half miles long, seventeen feet high
with Il width of seventeen feet at the
base and five feet at the top, is nearly
completed. This great breakwater Of
granite and concrete will cost the city
$1.19S,O0O exclusive of the driveway
which skirts the top of its entire
length. 1t was shown, however, that
without some additional security this
protection might itself become a men
