story of robbery was told to the po-
lice today by Mrs. d. G. Brown of 1015
Sixtieth street, who says that while
returning home from theater which
she had attended alone last night she
was approached by two men who
thrust her into a hallway and rushed
her upstairs to a room on San Pablo
avenue near Sixteenth street.
Pretending to give her restorative,
she asserts, they administered knock
out drops" and 1t was nearly o'clock
this morning before she recovered con-
sciousness.
She then found that her jewelry,
valued at $500, and 81 in cash had been
taken. She saw one of the men leav-
ing the room and gave the alarm, but
too late for the fellow to be captured.
The police found evidence of a strug-
gle in the room and with good de-
scription of the two men hope to cap
ture them.

are Mormon elders, and many of them
are men of good position In their own
country. They have left the work of
preaching and teaching to take up
scrubbing brushes and paint pots. and

disappearing. They seem to regard
the work as quite u pleasant little in

them laughing and joking over it. as
though they thoroughly enjoyed 1t.
ELDER PETERSON.
The direction Of affairs Is In the
hands of Elder Peterson, who is super
intending the work of his fellow
elders. Mr.. Peterson was born of
Danish parents In Salt Lake City 40
years ago His parents became Nor
mons, and left Denmark to go to the
new Zion. He was at the head of a
provision business in Salt Lake City,
but at the call of the prophet and the
twelve apostles, he left his work and
came over to Europe to spread tho
knowledge of Mormonism in that be-
nighted continent. He has the fair
hair and blue eyes of his Scandinavian
ancestors, but his birth and training
have endowed him with all the cute
ness and savoir faire of the typical
Yankee. Yet he is quite willing to dis
cuss the position and prospects Of his
faith with you, and tell about his
hopes and aspirations for the time
when all the world shall have been
baptized into the beliefs of the Latter
day Saints.
NO NEED FOR ALARM.
Residents in South Tottenham need
not be alarmed at the prospects of
having polygamous establishment
running in their midst. The Mormon
prophet had a vision in 1890, which
commanded him to abolish polygamy
in his Church. He communicated this
information to his twelve apostles, to
his elders. and to the Church gener-
ally. And now there are no more
poygamists in Utah. The gentiles
say that the decisions OF the United
States Congress had something to do
with this last revelation, but Elder
Peterson stoutly maintains that the
Mormons would go to prison in de-
Tense of polygamy, now as they had
done in the past However, the pro-
phet has relieved them from that ne
cessity. But Elder Peterson is all the
same prepared to defend 1t as Script,
ural.

The new headquarters is known as
the old Markfield hotel, and is situated
In the High road, Tottenham, an ideal
center for the PROSECUTING work of the
Mormons, for 1t is in the center of a
district occupied almost exclusively by
humble folk who in England are apt to
run after new religion and the chief
excitement in whose drab dull lives

CFrom the London Daily Chronicle
" ALL the fancy religions" as the
