Former Senator Cannon Declares Ell
ders Promised To Abandon
Plural Marriages.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-That the
elders of the Mormon church POSI-
lively promised among themselves TO
abandon plural marriages following
the Intervention OF President Cleye-
land to protect them from prosecu-
ton, is the statement OF former UNI
tied States Senator Frank j. Cannon,
in the current Everybodys
Twenty-six Of the Mormon heir
archy participated in the meeting
in President MILFORD Woodruffs Of
fee and all agreed that there had
been revelation from God" against
the practice. Describing the manner
In which Woodruff explained his views
to the elders, Cannon writes:
I'VE have sought to live our re-
ligion--to harm no one to perform
our mission In this world for the
salvation of the living and the dead.
We have obeyed the Principle OF
celestial marriage because IT came
To us from God. The Holy Spirit has
revealed to me that the church must
relinguish that practice for which
the brethren have been willing to
lay down their lives"
Cannon says the elders protested
against abandoning their wives and
children but finally agreed that u
manifestation from God could not be
disregarded. In conclusion Cannon
says:
II knew then, and / know now, that
they were at that moment sincere
And in the degraded after years when
so many OF them were guilty OF
breach OF covenant and base viola
ton OF trust. | tried never to forget
that they had sacrificed themsel, es
for their people"

AMERICANS ARE REPROVED.
English Weekly Charges Neglect of
WushinEton'H Ancestry.

London. May An English weekly
newspaper reproaches Americans with
not taking a proper interest in the early
history Of Washington The particular
incident from which it makes this deduc-
tion is this:
Five years ago an appeal was made
in the United States and i'm England for
subscriptions TO restore the tower OF
Purleigh Church. in Essex. where the last
of the English Washingtons was rector
before losing his benefce through HIS
loyalty TO the crown during the civil war.
This rector was the Ereat-great-grand-
father Of George washington and his
sons emigrated 10 America The amount
asked for was $1,000. of which so far. only
a.525 has been received, $S45 from Ameri-
cans and $3.50 from Englishmen.
This critic might have prefaced his re-
marks by a reference to the growing
custom in England Of appealing to Amer
ca whenever money is needed for the
restoration Of cathedrals and other monu-
ments. which may account for the de-
crease in such subscriptions. and he
might have rebuked his own countrymen
for the disproportion between the amounts
already subscribed by Americans and
Enslishmen.

ORIGIN OF METEORIC DUST.

Never Ending shower.
From the Chicago Tribune.
MeteOTic dust particles arc infinitely
finer than grains of sand. They have an
interesting origin. Meteors or shooting
stars have been bombardng the world
from the beginning at rate estimated at
many thousand an hour Of which. how
ever. an average Of only five or six are
visible to the naked eye in that time.
Owing TO our protecting envelope Of
air. few Of these missiles reach us. In
weight meteors vary from few ounces
TO many pounds. Occasionally one is Of
sage of so to 100 miles through an at
mosphere increasing in density as the
earth is approached.
The speed at which they enter the at
mosphere. calculated at not less than
thirty-five miles a second. generates such
intense heat by friction that the iron.

So frequently seen in the heavens on a

particles, which assume the spherical
form as does shot during its fall from the
top OF the tower.
Finally the little spheres are scattered
by the winds and currents i'm the upper

The perfect condition in which these

Court. London husbands should look close
ly into their wives millinery bills. The
case was an action by a betting agent
against a fashionable milliner to recover
money received by her in the capacity OF
go-between for betting commissions
with the plaintiff
The correspondence between the parties
revealed shocking state Of affairs. said
the Judge Ellis for new hats and otRer
hnery were merely blinds for money staked
by women on horses through the milIin-
er's connection with the turf agent In
the present case the horse was not even
placed and the stakes We're lost
The defendant set up the plea that she
had been acting on her own behalf and
that she was therefore a principal. not an
agent and that the plaintiff could not
recover the money anyhow under the
gaming act which forbids such transac-
uons. The judge held that on the strength
OF the defendants letters il could not
possibly be maintained that the milliner
was acting otherwise than as an agent.
