Two silly -smart Sets"

The fast woman in society in France
compromises herself because she falls
under the spell of passion: the fast
woman in society in New York, on the
other hand, compromises herself to
pay for her bonnets and gowns In
this comparison the French fast wom-
an has much the advantage of the
American fast woman They are both
essentially vulgar, judged from the
strictly social point of view The men
and women of the fast set always
force the note They overeat, over
drink overdress and overact their
parts They are to people in really
civilized society what sensational
journalism is to high-class newspaper
work. They represent the yellow
in morals, dress, manners and style of
life. 1t is a mistake to treat them too
seriously Irony, ridicule and sar
casm are the only weapons that touch
them 1t is the stupidity of fast So
ciety that most .impresses itself on
other people: the inanity of its inven-

oIathe Grants a Franchise.

The city council of Olathe, granted
the Strang Electric company a fran
chise for the use of Park avenue and
other streets in Olathe, for the oper-
alton of electic cars. Park avenue is
one of the principal streets of Olathe.
The use of it will allow the electric
cars from Kansas City to run direct
to the Santa Fe depot in the west
side of town. The cars already
touch the Frisco depot on the east.
The electric line will encircle the pub
lie square. The franchise will thus
prove of great Importance in the sub

Oil Road a Success.

The oil road which the state built
at Hutchinson is great success. A
heavy, sandy road, which was SO bad
as to be avoided if any way was pos
sible, has become a well-packed and
nearly hard road. When the most OF
the streets are in mucky, thick mud
this section is dry and hard enough to
make easy bicycle riding. The sue
cess of this section of oil road over a
stretch of sand surely settles the
question as to whether or not oil roads
are the thing for sandy stretches o.

GREAT CROWDS PRESENT.
Trongs Gather In Zion at Annual
Conference.

With three meetings, comprising
FIVE sessions, the seventy-eighth an
nual general conference of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
came to a close Sunday afternoon.
Sundays services in the tabernacle
were attended by numbers that found
the vast auditorium inadequate. Presi-
dent Joseph f. Smith invoked the
blessing of the Divinity on the people
of all the world, particularly those
who dwell in Zion; he prayed that
mercy be extended to the enemies of
the church. Anthon II. Lund, second
counselor of the first presidency, dis
cnssed the subject of marriage and
the growth of the Mormon people.
Apostle Oron f. Whitney talked about
the duty of the church membership
in sustaining the authorities, VINO, he
declared, were appointed according TO
the will of God. Apostle Francis Nj.
Lyman urged the necessity OF assign
ing properly equipped men to the mis-
sionary field. Apostle j. II. Smith
spoke on the evil resulting from the
indulgence in an excess of worldly
pleasures.
1t is estimated by man who took
account of the number of Sundays
attendants in the tabernacle, assembly
hall and ooJdoor meetings that there
were $4,000 in attendance.

President Smith Asks Mercy for Enc
mics of the Church.

Joseph F. Smith, president of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, delivered a brief address at
the afternoon session of the confer
ence ON Sunday President Smiths
remarks were in the nature of an in
vocation of the divine blessing upon
the people of all the world in general
and those of the Mormon faith in
particular. President Smith said in
substance. Il pray that the blessing
of God be upon the people of Zion
upon the officers of the church, upon
the people of the world. pray that
the blessing of God be upon tle presi
dent OF the United States upon his
cabinet and upon our brethren and
our sisters wherever they may be- |
pray that the mercy OF God be upon
our enemies. 1t is my hope and our
hope that these enemies Will see the
errors of their ways and be led tC
repentance. The church does not wish
them misfortune, nor the suffering OF
penalty-they' will bring upon them
selves the retribution which all must
endure who transgress the laws of
God and ok man and who deal un-
fairly with and maliciously malign
their neighbors. This retribution will
be in extent as the degree of offense
has been. The great Judge will meas
ure the punishment that is to be
meted out 20 the enemies of his peo-
pie"
President Smith referred to no one
specifically as bearing animosity to-
ward the church, but included all
who criticise adversely its works, it's
creeds and dogmas under one head
The speaker declared that the church
was following the will of God AL
mighty as proclaimed by Jesus Christ
his SON President Smith, said that
Zion was growing constantly and that
presently there would be demand for
more room. I'VE will not he confined
by the restricting boundaries of
valley between two mountains, nor
valleys between many mountains. Our
people and our doctrines and our
teachings are spreading and will. with

TORNADO CAUSES
MARINE DISASTER
Speaker Cannon a Witness of
Rescue of Thirteen People
From Sinking Slip.
People Rescued Were Nearly Starved
to Death, as They Had Lived tor
Week on a Few Water
Soaked Biscuits.

New York.--Nearly every vessel
that has arrived from Southern ports
during the past week has brought
some story of marine disaster wrought
by the tornado off Hatteras during
the last ten days of March. The
Bluecher, arriving fron West Indian
ports, was no exception. Standing in
disconsoate groups about her decks
were thirteen people, whom the liner
had saved from their laundering bark,
the Gulfport as the vessel was on the
verge of going down. The rescue was
witnessed by Speaker Joseph G. Can
non and others of the congressional
party on board the Bluecher.
Those taken by the lifeboat of the
liner from the waterlogged wreck
were near starvation. as for nearly a
week they had had nothing to live on
except a few water-soaked biscuits.
Thursday morning the Bluecher al
tered her course to head for a wreck
that had been sighted. The passen-
gers hurriedly quilted the breakfast
table and gathered on deck to see the
crew of the bark clustered about the
aft rails. Little difficulty attended
the work of rescue. The lifeboat, in
charge of Chief Officer Boyer, was
lowered from the Bluecher and rowed
to the wreck. Into this went Captain
Larsen of the bark and twelve mem
bers of his crew and in a short time
had the refugees safely on board the
