The PRISON MIRROR, a paper
published and edited by the in
mates of the prison, has entered
upon it's 10Th year. The editor at
present at the head of it had no pre-
vious experience in newspaper
work and is getting up as nice a
paper as comes to our table. He
remarked. "that in all the Is years
it had been published but two or
three men, have been at the head
of it who were practical news
paper men, which indicates that
editors are either very honest or
so rich that they do not need to
depart from the straight or mar

wish to congratulate the editor at
the head Of that paper now and
say he is doing fine and getting
out good all home print sheet.

DR.. HILLS ON TRUSTS.
Pastor OF PlymOuth Church Gives
His Opinion Of Young Rock
efeIIer's statement.

New York, April 10-In the course
of his sermon in Plymouth church,
Brooklyn, Sunday, the Rev. DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills referred to the gift of
100000 made by John D. Rockefeller
to the American board Of foreign mis-
sions and to Mr.. Rockefeller's son.
He said in part: 1.-THE saddest words
that have been written in this gen
Grafton ware spoken before Brown
university by young man who Is to
inherit one Of the greatest fortunes
in this country. They were spoken In
in defense Of the trusts. Listen 10
them: The American beauty rose can
be produced in all its splendor only
by sacrificing the early buds that grow
up around It. The rose has 1000 buds
and in order to produce the American
beauty the gardener goes around It
with a knife and ships 800 in order
that all the strength and beauty may
be forced into one bloom. In his eco
nomic argument this young man
brutally tells the working classes that
900 small business men must be snuff
ed out Of existence in order that his
American beauty the trust, may be
produced. Listen to Christ: Let the
strong bear the burdens Of the weak.
And again Give and 1t shall be given
unto YOU
These words in defense Of the trusts
are the most heartbreal1ing things in
literature to those who know what is
going to come in the future. Can you
wonder that after that when man
gives gifts we have no gratitude to

Chicago, April 1l.-one Of the most
startling moves made by western rail-
roads in freight trafiic for long time
was made by the Chicago & Eastern
Illinois Monday, when It was an
nounced that that line will absorb the
terminal charges across the bridges al
St. Louis on all freight carried over
Its road. This change amounted TO s.
per car, and has hitherto been added to
the freight charges to East st. Louis
BY the new plan the freight charges
to East ST. Louis will take the freight
across the bridge without the toll ia
the bridge company. The result is q
direct reduction in rates Of IS per car,
The action Of the Chicago & Eastern

competing lines, but It is expected that

Washington, April 11.-Admiral
Train commander-in-c of the Ash

partment that he has dispatched the
cruiser Raleigh and several torpedo
boats to the island Of Palawan TO OBJ

There is no dock in. the Philippines

day of the federal grand jury which
Is investigating the business AFFAIRS Of
the so-called beef trust. A subpenae

was issued by Judge Lands to force
the company to produce the trunks IN

AS to what the trunks contained and
what their connection with the present

those outside Of the jury room, as
the government officials absolutely re-
fuse to discuss the matter, declining
either to deny or confirm the explana-
ton current that the trunks might be-
long to the packers.
II do not know thing about these
trunks" said Secretary Peckham, after
having been served with the subpenae.
II was served with subpenae to de-
liver them to the government officials

the vaults here because that would be
violating business ethics and not in

THR MADRID DISASTER.
The Collapse was Foreseen-IHasts
and Poor Material the
Cquse.

Madrid, April 1O.--It appears tina
underneath the foundations Of the rec
erveir which gave way with such dis
astrous results on Saturday were wat
er pipes used to supply the palace ant
old Madrid. II Is stated that this wa

| the surface OF the ground which When
tests were made sank only eleven mil
lImeters. The vault was btilt Of ce'
ment with iron Orders as were also
the supporting columns The hrse
| fall caused all the pillars to bend and
| the end OF the iron work to stretch
resulting in general and uniform
collapse. These explanations, how
ever, cannot be considered as final.
Madrid newspapers publish asser-
tons that the disaster had been fore
seen by engineers as weel-a by work
men. 1t is now recalled that the bad
condition Of the soil on which the res
ervoir was constructed caused keen
opposition and numerous criticisms
when the scheme was being discussed
In the cortes.
Workmen who have been questioned
say that they were compelled to build
too rapidly with materials SO defective
that disaster was bound to happen.
Many heartrending incidents and
painful scenes are reported. Ten Of
those who were rescued alive have
gone mad. A huge crowd stood around
the scene throughout the night watch
ing the attempts at rescue in the light
Of huge electric lamps
Crowds of workmen and women
carrying flags forced all the theaters
to close Saturday night
King Alfonso had telephone wire
laid from the scene Of the disaster to
the palace and was Kept constantly
informed. The king again visited the
hospitals this morning. Some Of the
injured have died One body was re-
covered from the ruins during the
night but none later. Seven hundred
workmen are engaged in clearing the
debris. During the day students and
workmen paraded the streets collecting
money for the families of victims of
the disaster The public is contribut-
ing freely.
The governor Of Madrid has prohib-
tied a great popular demonstration of
mourning which the workmen wished
to organize but. he received the dele
gates of the workmen's associations
whom he informed that a street pro-
cession would be permitted under GER
tain restrictions.

Salt Lake City, Utah, April San
injunction suit was filed in the third
judicial district court here asking the
court to restrain the church Of Jesus
Christ Of Latter Day Saints, and Jos.
F. Smith, its president and trustee-in-
trust, from investing the tithing Of the
church for any other than church pur-
poses. The petitioners are Charles
Smurthwait Of Ogden, who was re-
Gently communicated from the
church, and Don G. W. Musser, MEM
Der of the church who yesterday voted
against sustaining the twelve apostles.
The petition, after setting forth that
the tithing paid by members Of the
church amounts to 100000 year,
and that Joseph F. Smith as trustee
in-trust for the church, has each year
since his elevation to the presidency
invested fully half million dollars
in sugar factories, wooden mills, banks
and other secular enterprises, and also
to estblish estates and residences for
the church leaders and their favor
It's" which action, the plaintiffs aver,
is in violation of his trust, prays the
court to declare the legal duty Of Pres
ident Smith with respect to the tithing
and other funds entrusted to his care
and the purpose for which they may
be used. A temporary injunction is
asked for to restrain the church and
its presidency from investing the tith-
ing funds and other church money in
any business enterprise for profit, to be
followed by a permanent injunction
after final hearing.
