ton directing the committee on finance

tributions by national banks. He ex-

81 100000. He added that statements
of contributors and of those who ana not
contribute were made periodically TO the
committee and that the President knew

MORMONS ARE REWARDED
President Smiths Revelation Appoints
Son as Head of Church at
His Death.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April lilo
seph Smith, president of the reorganized
Church of Latter Day Saints has re
warded his followers for their fasting
and prayer by giving to the conference
of the church in session in independence
Mo-, a revelation which appoints his son,
Frederick M. Smith, to be his successor
in the event of his deah
This was considered the most i'm
portant message ever given to the church
as nothing in the annals of the reorgan-
lied church has been considered so vital
as the question as to who would succeed
to the presidency.
For time it looked very much as
though the revelation would create a
schism in the church, as it was believed
by some that the revelation of April,
1902. conficted with the present message
as to President Smiths successor, but
after some discussion the revelation was
adopted unanimously. President Smith
soon afterward entered the church, fol-
lowed by his son.

Mrs Longworth's Electric Carriage.

Mrs. Nicholas Longworth is the proud
possessor of an electric carriage. 1t is a
runabout built for two and the owner
derives great delight in operating the ma
chine herself. There is question as to
whether the runabout is a belated we'd
ding present or whether it is an indi-
vidual purchase since the Presidents
eldest daughter became Mrs. Longworth.
1t is well known that the President
never expended any enthusiasm over
automobiles or electric carriages. On
the contrary, he dislikes them, and has
nesitated about giving his parental con-
sent to any of his children owning them.

France is the only country on the con-
tinent where the consumption Of alcohol as
a beverage Is increasing. according to a re-
port of Vice Consul Ingram at Paris. The
report says that the alarming feature of
this increase in the consumption of alcohol
is that less wine Is now drunk. Alcohol
had taken the place Of wine. and among
the alcoholic beverages that now have a
hold upon the masses is absinthe.
Each inhabitant consumed In 1904 on an
average 1 liter of absinthe per annum: but
as only one person in every hundred drinks
absinthe. the fact is that each absinthe
drinker consumes / liter of this beverage
every three or four days. This liquor has
been officially expelled from Belgium. and
