MOHAMMEDAN CRITICISM.

voted entirely to Jewish interests. 1t
is splendidly printed paper and
well edited, and should commend Itself
TO all who take an interest in than
which concerns the scattered race.
In the issue Of April We find some
editorial comments on an historical
address delivered by Abdul Quillian,
Bey in London. This gentleman is IT,,
religious representative Of the Sultat
Of Turkey to the British Isles, and Is
worthy OF a hearing, since he comes a.
a messenger from the Mohammedan
world to the Christians.
From the remarks Of the Advance we
gather that the distinguished Mussu-
man charged the Christian world with
idoatry ana intolerance, We quote
"Our conclusion must therefore be
accepted as the ultima thule Of the
situation the Jews and the Ma
hommedans constitute the only believ
ers In the one true and eternal God:
that the masses Of mankind are today
as ever heretofore, idolaters; that IN
this estimate are also included the So
called Christians throughout the world

the Christian nations Of Europe has
raised an arm or voice in protest
against the massacres Of the Jews in
Russia, the unparalleled horror OF
which has shocked the world?"
Il is but too true that the confessors
OF non-Chrstian creeds have griev-
ance against the Christian world, but
that Is against the men, not against
the system. The trouble Is that even

The circumstances surrounding the
case are most pathetic. A young lady
named Annie Siggard, 20 years of age,
daughter OF prominent Brigham City
cattle man, came TO Ogden about
year ago to seek employment, desiring
to live In larger city than her home
town. Shortly after her arrival here
she met Irwin and went out with him.
He Is alleged to have told the girl he
was a single man. and after gaining
her affections betrayed her and caused
her downfall. Her parents. on learning
OF her unfortunate condition. took her
home to BRIGHAM City, where week
ago today = gave birth to a baby,
which died, and the following day the
young lady gave UP her life. Miss Sig
gard had been very good young lady,
and was highly respected, and the
shame she had brought on herself and
her parents caused her such sorrow
that It Is believed she died more from
grief than anything else When she
died Sheriff Sebring was communicated
with, and went to Brigham City where
he met the broken-hearted parents who
turned over to him number of letters
written by Irwin to the young lady con-
corning her condition, which clearly in
dicated that he was the cause OF her
downfall The girls father also told
the sheriff that Irwin had endeavored
TO get him to furnish him Qrwin) with
money enough to get a divorce from
his present wife, so he could marry
Miss Slggard. but this her father lid
not do. His present wife Is not living
with him, but Is now In Oregon with
her parents. Deputy Wilson is expect
