WASHINGTON. u. c., March 81
President Smith resumed the stand
this morning when the Smoot case
was opened. lie was examined b.

aud asked as 10 the number OF po-
lyFamists In the Mormon church.
He replied. by a careful census IN
1880 there we're z4si potyEamous
families In the United States belong
ing to the Mormon church. In octo-
Der. 1899. IL had reduced to i.bt3 BY

Since then many have died and the

Senator Dubois took exception to
the statistics on the ground that
they were collected by the church
itself. Smith. however. declared
they were correct. Referring to
Senator BaIley's query OF yesterday
as to whether woodfuffs manifesto
proposing polygamy was a revelation
or merely produced because OF the
adoption OF the Law against the prae-
tice. worthington read from n ser
mon delivered by Woodruff a year
later in which he declared that he
had been led to issue his manifesto
through the guidance OF the Lord.
Senator Bailey pressed the point,
saying he didn't think much Of a
church that doesn't get a doctrine
until there's n statute. This led
Smith into long explanation Of
how the manifesto came 70 be Is

In effect the statement was that
the question was presented after the
passage OF the law whether mem
beers OF the church should observe
the constitutional law of the land
or continue 10 practice the law OF
the church. The Lord made mhni-
fest 20 Woodruff that II was his
duty 10 stop plural marriages. That
revelation was accepted by the
church. Smith admitted he could
have educated and supported his
children without having new issue,
but chose not 20 do that. thereby

THE
ADVANTAGES OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

are SO apparent that we are almost
ashamed to talk about them. They
stick right out like the nose Of your
face, but, as Marcus Aurelius
might have said, if he had thought
Of it, If a man blow not his own
horn, the same it shall not be
blowed." And our Office boy says
he'll be blowed if he can see why
we should hide our light under a
half bushel.
Ro to save argument we are will
ing to admit that there is no light
that even approaches the electric
light in quantity Of light radiated
all around the room.
The quality of the light you can
see for yourself. Electric lights
give strong, clear, vivid white
light. That is what is demanded
today, pure, white light and plenty
Of It.
If our points are not clear to you
it is undoubtedly due to the fact
that yonr light is poor. If you
will put in full equipment of cleo
trio lighes the whole subject will be
made beautifully luminous and we
will have peace in the family.

in Japan is Carlyle. All students of Eng fish literature in Japan read his works. He has many worshippers, especially among the younger generation. The two Uchimura and Professor Nitobe The former is known as the Japanese Carlyle on account of a similarity in his use CT logic and his phllosophic view of every day life and events. Next to Carlyle comes Macaulay The new style-what we call Hanyaku or translation style-was prac- tically created by borrowing his language by the Minyushamen. a literary band Tn Tokyo. Emerson is admired by some of the English students And we see the in fiuences of his writings among many Japanese journalists today. It Is need less to say that Mill and Herbert Spencer have had tremendous influence upon the thought of modern Japan.
 In poetry, Tennyson Lonsfelow' Wordsworth. Byron and Milton, and Tn fiction Irving, Thackeray and Dickens are best known. A part of David Copperheld was translated a long time ago by Mrs Iwamoto, the translator of Little Lord Fauntleroy. While Longfellow's Evan geline" s heard from the lips of any little girl in a girls seminary in Japan Emerson's representative men is often discussed by the Eigallu Shosei of kanda. Bellamy's Looking Backward has been recently translated into Japanese. Mrs Stowe's Uncle Toms Cabin and Henry Georges Progress and Poverty are now translated.
