TEMPLES OF MYSTERY
And lniqulty Are Mormon Churches,
 Says Marian BonsalI.

There is no institution in the civil ized world today which stands for so much of mystery, so much of supersti- tion, so much of iniquity, as the Mor- mon temple. There is no institution of which so much that is horrible has been said by it's enemies and so much of praise by it's advocates, writes Marian Bonsall in her third article on "The Tragedy of the Mormon Woman" in the September Housekeeper. Not only has no Gentle ever witnessed the. ceremonies performed therein but only such Mormons as are in good standing in their church. It Is in the temple that plural marriages, which have never ceased to be contracted in the Mormon church, are solemnized for time and for all eternity; it is there that the records of the marriages are hidden, where no Gentle eye may ever benold them; 1t is there that all good Mormons are bound by fearsome oaths to give entire allegiance and obedience to Joseph Smith and those who repre- sent him as the living oracle of the church and if we are to believe the word of the church authorities, who assert that Lne IeIHple SeTNlce HdS never been changed, it is there that Brigham H. Roberts, Reed Shoot, Sen ator, and all Mormons who have taken their endowments," have sworn to avenge the blood of the prophet, Jo- seph Smith, upon the nation. and to teach the same to their children, and their children's children.
 found that the element of mystery, which is so vital part of Mormonism, | does more to entrap and enslave vic tins of it's church than the combined oratory of all it's high priests and bishops, elders and missionaries. That this mystery is ghastly, unwholsesome, repulsive in the extreme, makes its spell not the less, but the more potent. The Mormon church has often been likened to an octopus, which reaches it's horrible feelers into every state in the union, into Canada and Mexico, and even to the innermost parts of the earth; which fascinates the ignorant and religious-minded as serpent fascinates a bird, and crushing them within it's grasp, draws them to itself and feeds upon them.

NEPHEW HAD REVENGE.
Practical Joker at Ruda-Pesth Fur
 thered By Music Hall Mimic.

Correspondence of the Washington Post.
 -Pesth.-A quaint case has just come before the civil courts. A bill discounter and money lender, named Anton Sternberg, asked for damages against his nephew, a schoolboy 16 years of age, who, to avenge some grievance, had plagued him continuously for two and a half years. A fortnight ago Sternberg, entering his office, dis covered his nephew sprinkling an evil smelling chemical over the dress suit which he intended wearing at a municipal function later in the day. Wrathfully, the bill discounter seized his umbrella and belabored his relar tive. The boy then decided to wreak vengeance on his uncle.
 During the afternoon, while Stern berg was absent, the telephone rang In his private room, and his clerk, we'll known gymnast, named Loewe, hast ened to the instrument.
 "Is' that you, Anton?" came in high pitched feminine tones over the tele- phone. Loewe started. He recognized the voice of his own wife.
 Are you sure that that monkey faced husband of mine does not suspect anything?" added the woman at the other end of the wire.
 Give him enough work to detain him at the office until late, and l will wait here"
 Right" replied Loewe, hardly re- straining his passion.
 Soon afterward Sternberg returned to the office, and, as was as his GUS tom, he gave Loewe large batch of letters to write when bidding him good night.
 "Tomorrow is half holiday" he iokingly remarked, take your time oyer the correspondence. The cash ier's suspicious were confirmed. With a yell of rage he bounced upon the astonished money lender, blacked his eye, tore out his mustache, and with wellaimed blows battered him about until his employer, bleeding and be- draggled, fell unconscious into the fire place. Racing home, he upbraided his wife for her unfaithfulness. The woman threatened to have him placed in an insane asylum.
 During the hearing of the case 1t was conclusively proved that Sternberg's nephew (knowing the jealous nature of his uncle's clerk) had hired music hall mimic, named Weissenboam, to initiate the voice of Loewe's wife.

STORY OF BEAUMONT
 IS FULL OF TRAGEDY
BY ANNIE KEN DRlck WALKER.

shots were fired. It Is not perfectly clear as to whether the wounded bush whacker was fired on by MT. Johnson or his young son, but all accounts emphasize the wide spread regret at the tragedy for which no reason could be given.
 The house has in some particulars the appearance of a French chteau, there Is obviously a foreign influence in It's architecture. It is built of grey granite and no changes have been made in the plan, so that 1t remains a distinct ex- ample of the style which initiated French art. The entrance is dignihed one and gives a suggestion of the elaoor- ate arrangement of the interior which is stately and imposing. The feature or the hall is the stairway, spiral In design ana with the style of banister frequently found in many of the old southern man. sions The drawing room and state dining room for the whole of the right side of the house, and there are some private apartments on the first floor The guest chambers are in the second story and here also are private sitting rooms
 Since Mrs Woolley purchased Beaumont improvements have been made in the decoration of the interior, but every thing has been done with d view of conforming to it's architecture ard while any evidences of past neglect have been entirely obliterated, the restoration has been so carefully done that no change has marred the old beauty of the place. Not even has the English ivy which covers the sides of the house and frames the windows been touched in the new or der of things
 The gardens about Beaumont are pie ture gardens. The old rose garden in front of the house is quite unchanged. The rose trees have grown to height of several feet and the walks through the old garden having been left quite to themselves. Just In front of the entrance at the very head of the garden is a little spot where there seems to have been sun-dial, and all about the place is an enchantment the dreaminess the poetl- cal loveliness of an old, old garden.
 A stone wall built in the last century encloses not only the garden, but extends almost the entire length of the driveway, which is bordered with wonderful pines. These, too, have not been interferred with and their low-sweeping branches form a marvellous canopy. The pines about Beaumont are magnificent. The old driveway at Beaumont is the most pie turesque way through which to enter the rose gardens of another century and an old garden seems the mtat formal and appropriate vestibule to so stately and beautiful a house.
 Mrs. Woolley intends spending the en- tire year in Mort hCarolina and among other members of her family who are now guests at Beaumont Is her daugh- ter Mrs. Mansfield Latham of Blrming- ham Miss Julia Danewood of Birming- ham is also at Beaumont

A REMARKABLE WOMAN.

Mrs. Henry Briggs has just returned from Opelika, where she met an aged woman who Is remarkable character. She gave her history in her own words as follows:
 My maiden name was Clementine Jane Brown I was born in Green county, Georgia, February 20, 1S15 and was mar ried to James F. Billingsly in 1882. l was an only child and my mother before me was also an only child l was the mother of nine children; two of whom were girls. They married and each was the mother of nine children. I had fifty grand child rem, twenty-five great grand children, and the latest information was that l had six great great grand children I have lived to see six generations and will be 9l my next birthday. I can read and sew without glasses and my hearing is perfect. I was crippled eight years ago, when broke my left limb by a fall. But can go about the house in an invalid chair.
 q prepare my own breakfast, make my own bed. dress myself without assistance, although cannot walk step. The kind ladies of Opelika send me my dinner every day, while my great benefactor, General Harrison, is away When he is at home his noble wife looks after my comfort, and their negro porter attends to my wants also during their absence.
 T have so much to be thankful for. The most remarkable part of my life is.

FALL STYLES.

MT. J. B. Simpson, who has recently returned from New York, talks interest ingly of the styles for women for the coming season. He says that much has been said of red as the prevailing color for the season, but that plumb is even more popular, and that great many smart tailor gowns are grey with touches of green Mir Simpson asked what the small women would do, as they cannot wear the long tailor-made coats. He re- piled: "Oh, there are any number of short blouses and the day has come when no one style of garment has the lead, for there are many cuts and they are all good.''
 MT. Simpson says that the new sleeves for dress occasions" are all made short and that long silk gloves are fast taking the place of the kid gloves which have been worn so many years. The collars, too, said MT. Simpson. are quite elaborate, and there are many different styles shown this season.
