Knight a Possibility.

Jesse NJ. Knight, son of Uncle Jesse
Knight of Provo, is said to be- how
ever, more faVorabIy talked of for the
appointment than any of the other
candidates The intimate friendship
which sprang uD between Newell
Knight, the grandfather of Jesse NJ.
knight, jr., and the Prophet Joseph
Smith in the early days, is given as the
main reason for his appointment 1t
is related that the day on which Jo-
seph Smith, the prophet. secured the
plates that Newell Knight was a the
Smith home. When the prophet rushed
into his fathers home with the plates
wrapped UP to escape the men who
attacked him. the story is. Newell
Knight took them from his arms and
deposited them on chair in the room.
He never Gazed upon the plates but
shortly after this circumstance he be-
came convert to the Mormon faith.
Friendship sprang Up.
1t is said that while Joseph Smith
was tTanslating the plates Newell
Knight was kind to him and the fam
lily and assisted them in a. great many
ways Friendship sprang up between
the families which has been carried
down through the later generations of
the families.
It is probable that the appointment
will be made known at this conference.

JORDAN
LANDED IN JAIL
Former Agent of British Government
Betrayed After Seven Years of
Business Prosperity.

New York, April A scandal dat
ing back to England's preparations
for the Boer war was recalled to life
today in the arraignment Of George L.
Jordan, who disappeared in this city
several years ago while buying horses
for the use Of the British army in the
Beer war. Jordan was arrested last

first degree, having been indicted in
1899 for the forgery of a prOmissOrv
note for 100000 He escaped arrest
and the police supposed he had left
this country.
Had Been Prosperous.
During the seven years of his dis
appearance Jordan has been living in
New York City. He disguised himself
by growing a full beard, changing his
name to that of Mark Denny and Iiv-
ing ostensibly as an American bust
ness man. He went into the real es-
tate business and pTospered, it is said
1t was this business, according to
the district attorneys Office. which led
to Jordan's betrayal last night. for he
had cOnfided to a customer the secret
of his identity, and this customer
after a quarrel with him over bust
ness matters, went to the district at
torney with information which led to
the arrest.
Admitted His Identity.
The prisoner today admitted his
identity as Jordan and was sent TO the
Tombs in default of S25, 900 bail
Prior to the alleged forgery he was
a regularly accredited agent of the
British government. OF a dashing
military bearing and with good letters
of identification from England, he was
a guest of several of New Yorks best
clubs. He is so years old.

Eat LentiIs
New remedies for falling hair are
continually cropping up, and by the
hopelessly bald these remedies are
adopted with confidence. The lentil
cure is the latest. The lentil cure is
applied internally-the Ientils are eat
en-. Marvellous results are obtained,
according to reports, if the cure is
followed for six months. Lentlls are
rich in iron, and hence are good not
only for the hair, but for the blood
as well. Pale and thin-haired folk
after a course Of lentils become rosy
and robust and their hair grows Wig
orously. Specialists of religious bent
point to the Biblical character of

of lentils and notoriously hairy, Len

are admitted to be the most highly

is gratifying to but few people.

The Singer Lost Himself
The bereaved family had engaged an
opera singer to sing at the funeral
services held in a west side brown
stone. He was a new arrival and could
speak only Italian. The orGanist was
German, speaking only the mother
tongue, When the singer arose he ap-
parently forgot that he was not upon
the stage and began to add to the beau
ty of his voice by stage gesticulations
The organlst, looking hurriedly around
and unable to speak with him, and
catching sight of the wild f1inging out
of arms, played the accompaniment
with one hand and paved at him with
the other in q violent effort to force
him to sing more quietly and without
gesticulation, as a singer should do at
well-regulated funerals. There was
nothing doing. The singer, thinking
the organist either needed more room
on that side or wanted him to sing
louder, moved away from the paving
hand and sang all the louder, with such
a spasm of operate gesticulation that
the congregation was divided between
the inclini ton to laugh or cry or burst
into applause.

New Postal Gard Pest
Talking postcards recently have been
received in Gotham and everybody is
going daffy over the verbal messages
the cards talk their messages to the
receiver instead of conveying the writ
ten word. For fear anyone should
think there is anything uncanny about
these cards, it may be stated at once
that they talk only with the aid of a
phonograph, for their novelty lies in
the fact that they are nothing more
or less than brief photographic record
fixed on the card to be reproduced with
the aid of one of the machines.
Simplifed Spelling a Fad
Now phonetic spelling bees are the
latest fad. Everybody In New York, it
would seem, has taken kindly to the
simplifed method employed officially
by President Roosevelt and authorized
by the United States civil service COM
mission, and wedding invitations and
announcements are not considered

FroWn on Handshakes
And now they are putting the kibosh
on the handshake. Even the high
handshake which was brought to New
York from London for summer wear
has lost it's charm, and whether one
shall shake hands at all Is being taken
into serious considerations. Some New
York women. who doubtless may be
influenced by the fact that there are
millions OF microbes in the palm of
the hand, come forward with the
statement that handshaking Is absurd
and has no excuse for being. Some
ask why should two persons who meet
each other indulge in q handclasp,
which is a drop-you-l potato
in it's brevity?, And the calm, un-
excited handshake brought over from
Lunnon Is now regarded quite as an
noyng TO some women. One woman
says the handshake Is the result of
embarrassment, and the custom should
have been abolished when men ceased
to carry swords.
