A fair conclusion would be that she
has clothes to burn and that she
changes them as often as Harry I4ekr.
But the trunks do not contain
clothes. That is not clothes such as
Miss Learn affects. These trunks hold
possibly the most famous doll collee-

Smoot himself has sins enough of his

The whole vile system of Mormonism
is not a religion; but compact of

itself. This is so, on accotnt of the

the system. 1t would be impossible
for him to take the oath of Office

tai reservations directly antagonistic
to the oath itself.
If Mcrmonism is denied representa-

polygamous practices, this will do
much toward eradicating the evil. But

Among those drowned are nineteen
members of German Opera company,
who had just concluded their season
at Covent Garden.
Arthur Herbert, one of the kings
messengers who was journeying to the
continent, also was lost.
With reference to the members of
the German Opera company, who were
lost on the steamer Berlin, the man
ager Of Covent Garden said today: $50
far as we know these did not include
any of the star artists" The party
was made up of members of the chorus
returning to their homes. The Ber-
lin left Harwich at 10 o'clock last
night upon the arrival there of the
London train with greater number
of the passengers who subsequently
lost their lives
A great gale was blowing in the
North sea when the Berlin started.
AS the Berlin was entering the water
way at the entrance of the river Mas,
however, she apparently became I'M
manageable on account of the force
Of the wind and was driven ashore.
She broke in two and pounded to
pieces.
