WAS A MO_I_t_lll_ON WIFE:- TWELVE YEARS ‘WITHIN THE INNER CIRCLE 0F monmonllsu. Characteristics}: O'Brihgh‘s'm Young. A on}... Story of Polygamy, Religion and Wickedness. It is a wonder Uncle Sam Stood the Blot so Long. 1 “I lived for twelve years in what you might call the inner circle of Mormonism during the years that were the :era of assassination, and persecution in the rule of the church in Utah,” said a woman 'whose present husband is a well know mine owner of Montana, “and I have many lively recollections of that so- 'ourn. “My first husband was a Mormon. He was converted to that then queer faith under the preaching of Brigham Young in London in 1844. He had an unbounded: faith in most of the tenets of Mormonism but never accepted the doctrine of the plurality of wives. He was a civil engin- eer. IVhen a young girl I married him in my native town in Ohio, and accompani— ed him in 1857 to the Mormon capital. I was a. Mormon only in name, and my dis- gust at the practices of the Church and its leaders was intense from my first en- trance into its society, and I never could understand how a. man so honorable and upright as my husband was could accept that religion as the truth. “I knew Bringham Young intimately, and shall always have kindly recollect- ions of him as a man. Our house was one . of the few he was in the habit of visiting, although our circumstances were limitc ed. He was very fond of my husband, who had contrived some ingenious applig ances for the gas and water works, which had pleased the prophet very much. “The second day ‘a‘fterI went to Salt Lake City I heard Brigham Young preach. I was 1. 0t used to hearing relig- ions teachers denouncing their hearers as fools from the pulpit, and using similar expressions more vigorous than pious, ' but I got used to there style, and went to their Tabernacle services regularly. “Once in my presence Brigham Young told my husband that he had a nice wife ‘ picked out for him, and that he had bet- ter take her at once, and fetch her home as company for me. I replied that if my husband attempted to copy his prophet and took another wife every little while he would find that part of Salt Lake City much too warm for his comfort. Brigham laughed heartily at that, and said I wouldn’t be the right kind of a wife for a Mormon prophet to start out with. I was bold enough to say that if the Mor- mon prophet had had just such a wife to start out with the Mormon religion would have been the gainer. I gave a. passive adherence to the religion for my husband’s sake, contributed all I could toward its support, and mingled with the Mormon families exclusively; It was my love for my husband that kept me so long among the iniquitous people. When he died, in 1869, I did not tarry long in Utah. “I went to the Mormon country about the time the inquisitorial reform began. The outside world never knew much about the workings of that movement of the Mormon Church. The Church au- thorities had proclaimed that the people, by their. dilatoriness in taking plural wives, their scanty payment of tithes, and their other shortcomings had dis- pleased the Lord. “Mission aries were sent out all throng . the Territory to preach to that effect, and a confessional was established—or rather a cathecism prepared With the view of obtaining information as to the life of every family and its members. “The country was districted, and a faithful polygamist, called a Teacher, was put in charge of each district. The duty of these men—for the Teachers 'were all men—was to visit every house in' their district and put the questions laid down by the Church to each member with no one else by. “These inquiries searched into the most sacred relations, and had to be answered on oath. The result of this inquisitorial reform was that the Mormons were found to be the most iniquitous of peo~ ple, and Brigham young decreed a. gen- eral baptism of every male and female in the Church. “My house was visited by one of these Teachers while my husband was absent. Irefused to hear his questions, and he, insisting on my doing so, Itook my hus- band’s rifle and ordered the man to leave the place at once, which he did with great haste. “A sister of mine has the distinction of having refused the hand and harem of Brigham Young. She was but sixteen when she visited us at Salt Lake City in 1859. Brigham saw her at our house, and three days afterward asked her to become his wife—his twelfth, I think. She re- fused the honor with such indignation that Brigham left the house highly in- sulted. My sister was in such terror lest the Prophet should seize and force her to marry him that we asked permission of 'a party of tourists who were on their way East after a trip overland to California for her to accompany them back, and she joined them the very next day. The Mormons lmd everything their own way in those u.~.ys, and were controlled by some of the worst of men. I often trem- ble to think wnat might have befallen the girl in thus delving the head of the Church. I b..—.iev.- if it had been John D. Lee, or Orson .Pl'uiili, or Bishop Hyde, in‘ stead of Bright 2.: Y= Hug, my sister would either have 'm:.;..-....: 'sealed’ or she would never have lei". Utah. “The Pl‘()}_)il\_‘ti made daily calls upon his wives during all the time I lived in Salt Lake City, and they were the best provided for of all the Mormon women. I knew them all—at least all that. he had up to that ti inc—some of them quite in- timately, and I never heard one of them complain of neglect of any kind. “Do I believe that Brigham Young knew of the Mountain Meadow massacre? \Vhat I haw rend oi" that murder is all Ircally know about it, and believe the same may be said of all the Mormons ex- bept those who were cugugcl in it. It doesn’t seem no mo that Brigham Young could have (lcfilwl'utc1yordered that mas- sacre, nor do i believe that he knew of it until afterward. John D. Lee was a fiend incarnate, and one-half his crimes will never he know. His Idea of It. “What do you think of the emancipa- tion of woman. .‘d r.

AS HE PLEASESES.J’: ' 12er Commissioner Carroll” p.;-,.ffirright’s Thesis Upon the Labor Question—Capl- tal and Labor Both Ameniable to the Laws of the People.- Labor Commissioner Carroll D.\Vright in the Forum, says: The great employer of to-day,when ask- ed to make some concessions to labor, or to arbitrate differences which have arisen between him and his employees, declares that in order to win success he must have complete control of his own affairs: and he asks, "Shall I not conduct my own business in my own way?” Under some circumstances the employes asks, “Have you theright to conduct your own busi— ness in your own way?” Society has long since answered these questions in some important particulars. It says to the property owner, the manu- facturer: “No property owner can do anything that will interfere with the rights and privileges of his neighbor, whether these rights and privileges come under the head of right to freedom from injury to property or the privelege of liv- ing without danger to health.” But the question, which is inore far- reaching and which will inevitably be answered by society. relates to their ma terial Surroundings; and this question is: , “Shall a man or corporation who does not, or is not able to c0nduct his or its affairs so as to avoid public disturbance, ' obstruction of trade, loss of wages, or the lowering of the standard of living, be free i from the interference of society P" i All attempts of conciliation and arbi‘ , tration, whether they work under the form of law through boards established by the State or by the mutual consent of the parties involved in an industrial dis- pute, emphatically declare that society 3 has the right to interfere. The stoppage of traffic, the hindrance - of business, the general disruption :of peaceful relations, the violence and crime which come logically in the train of an industrial dispute, are menaces to the ’ welfare of society: and the State is in duty bound to do all in its power to pre« vent their recurrence. And, since the ' power which the State has comes from ’ the people, it is bound to exercise that power for the good of all, even if the in- - dividual suffers as a consequence. The enactments of the Interstate Com« merce law, by which the Federal Gov- ernment under certain circumstances, undertakes to regulate freight rates, is a clearly defined instance of Government interference to prevent the disturbance of trade. If it can interfere to prevent the disturbance of trade, can it interfere to prevent the disturbance of society? Can- not the State say to both labor and capi- tal, “You must so conduct your afiairs so as to leave people at peace?” Labor would not contend so savagely against a reduction of wages under bad economic conditions if it felt morally certain that, with restored conditions its share of the profits. which it receives in the form of wages, would be restored. It should be recognized that the man who works for wages has been taught to realize the conditions of a higher civili- zation, to appreciate, to understand, and to desire still greater mental,v.moral and social progress, and he now begins to comprehend that the labor question means simply the struggle for ahigher standard of living. But, with all this, he finds that he still keeps the position of a wage-receiver in enterprises in which his’ skill as well as his hand is a mess sity. The answer (to labor questions) will not - come through revolutionary changes, but intelligence of the men involved in indus- try. THE BELLOWS AT A SEANCE. How Cold Drafts were Made to Order by a Bibnlous Individual. Mrs. \Villiams, the medium who was recently exposed in ridiculous fashion in Paris, evidently neglected one of her most successful schemes when giving exhibitions to the French people. IV hen she was in New York she was looked upon as a marvelous medium by the faithful, and as one of the most skillful and inventive tricksters in the business by professors of legerdemain and other devotees of the science of making people’s eyes deceive them. A gentleman of wide reputation in business circles came dangerously near becoming a victim of Mrs. VVilliam’s art. In speaking of it he says: “The fault lay in the fact that she gave me the shivers too often. It is a very well known fact that the condition of the body has an important influence upon the imagination. It is prettv hard for any man to keep his wits about him when he is sitting in a. half-darkened room, with his hands held out on either side of him by nervous, excited women, and all sorts of ghostly things going on in front of him. ' “I do not shiver easily, but I discovered thatIalways'shivercd at these seances. I told Mrs. Williams that I always felt as though there was a. draft of cold air on the heck of my head. She replied, very couiposodly, that this draft was caused by the fluttering of the spirits as they moved about the room. “On the second occasion, however, there was astrong elem‘cnt' of whiskey in the draught, and without meaning to be hypercriticul in any way, the scent of old rye was too much for my credulity. I took my son with me after‘ that whiskey experience, and we discovered the reason of the chills. ' “Mrs. Williams had a confederate in the person of a quiet and dexterous young man, who carried a well-greased pair of bellows. He wore felt slippers, and it was his duty to such ' around be- hind the row of chairs, Where the inquir- ers sat holding one another’s hands, with his bellows. .“He filled the bellows with cold air, at an open window in another room, and then gently puffed a draft down behind the necks of the seekers after truth. Take any man, put him in a dark room, string his nerves up to a. high tension, and then blow a draft of cold air down the back of his neck, and it will do more to convince him that there are spirits about than anything else in the world. Nobody could hear the young man as he moved around back of the chairs, but one night he was peering down, in a near-sighted way, to locate my collar, and as he had taken a drink of whiskey before beginning his Work, his presence 'was revealed to me. This was a. trick that was worth all thewigs and tights that Mrs. \Villiams came to grief over in France.” Advertise in GZETTE. / LRIGEI‘S ()_.]i‘_‘_CAPITAIi- ' MAY A MAN conoucr HIS-BUSINESS] bya recognition of the ever-increasing. u trans nor edit-ERISING‘ mummy :UndorstlogodiiWhy Uncle Jasper overthat anle Jasper made his custom- dryimovementof pushing the nuts from table, which was always .the'preliminary to a? Story. . - ~ -_ “It was last night 25 years ago,” he be-- gan, “that a. circumstance happened to me that I have never forgotten, and,” he added, looking around the table as if to settle all doubts upon the matter, “I never will.” “Oh, tell it, tell it!” everybody cried. “Well, your aunt and-I were courting then, and her mother had invited me over rived late on Christmas eve, and the mince pies were just being taken from the oven, all hot and smoking. Nothing . would do your aunt but that I should try them at once, and feeling a. little peckish I consumed a couple before I had time to express my admiration for them. Under heavy pressure from the entire family I placed myself outside of four more and . afterward wrapped my adipose tissue around an extra large sized ope on my own account. “You see,” said Uncle Jasper, looking around apologetically, “I had always pos- sessed a weakness for pastry, and when that pastry enclosed mince meat that weakness became a. craze. “Well, after eating my fill I retired for the night to my room, but being in a ruminating frame of mind I did not go to bed at once, but sat and gazed at a picture on the wall representing a barn yard full of poultry, the predominating feature of the scene being a large male turkey with his tail spread out, looking very dignified and very proud. He was a royal bird, and his outlines gave me immense admiration; In fact, I became infatuated with him, and try as I would I could not keep my eyes off him. How long Igazed at his magnificent proporv tions I know- not, but suddenly he ruflled hisI feathers and still further extended his tai . - “At the same moment the whole pic~ ture became animated with life. The other turkeys in his rear began to strut and gobble. The fowls were clucking vigorously, as if greatly agitated, and the rooster crowed three times from the fence with the most unearthly crow that had ever assailed my cars. It was blood curdliug, and I thought of all the super. stitious stories I had ever heard con. nected with the untimely crowiugs of that prophetic bird, and my flesh began to fairly creep. “Suddenly the gobbler, with stately tread, stepped out of the picture, followed by the entire barnyard population, and slowly came toward me. 1 would have retreated, but something seemed to chain me to my chair, and I could not move hand or foot. “The turkey and all his following with solemn eye and grave deportmeut came nearer and nearer. until the whole brood halted about a. yard from me, where they stood surveying me with a, severe and threatening air. In an extremity of fear I strove to call out for help, but my tongue clove to the roof of my mouth and the only sound that issued from my lips were guttural mutterings that could not have been heard five yards away. “After gazing at me in this way for a few moments, the turkey opened his beak, and what was my astonishment to hear him speak with a clear accent, and in the most rational language! ' “ ‘Sir,’ said he in a contemptuous tone, ‘you cannot be ignorant of the purport of this visit from myself and companions.’ “ ‘Indeed I am,’I managed at last to gasp. ‘To what am I to attribute such an honor?’ . “ ‘You are lying,’ was the cold answer. ‘You know well.’ “I protested my innocence of his accu. satidn, but he did not appear to be convinced. However, he undertook this extraordinary explanation: “ ‘In solemn conclave assembled we decided some time ago to arrange for your invitation here today. Can you not guess the rcasou?’ “ ‘I have not the slightest idea,’ I am swered, trembling, for the cold gleam in his eyes sent a cold shiver (10'. 'u my back. “ Then I will tell you,‘ vas the re- joinder. ‘\Ve brought you here for our Christmas dinner.’ “ ‘\Vhat do you mean?’ I gasped. “ ‘To cut you!‘ they all screeched to- gether in the most blood curdling voice I had ever heard. “Again I cssuyed, in agony of fear, to rise, but a fearful weight upon my chest pressed me down, and the more I strug- gled the greater it became, until I could feel myself slowly sinking to the ground beneath it. I felt myself to .be swooning and I should certainly have lost my senses but for the stately turkcy’s next words, uttered in a voice so strange and cold that it froze the marrow in my bones. ‘ “ ‘I will take his eyes,’ said he. rest of him dispose of as ye will.’ _ “\Vith a deafening flutter of the wings the entire brood flew toward me, the turkey, as he had intimated, making for my eyes. IVith a scream of agony I made a supreme effort and shook the load from my chest, but not before I had received innumerable bufletiugs from the wings of that bloodthirsty turkey. The next moment the welcome voice of your aunt's brother rang in my ears. " ‘VVhat’s the matter. matter?” _ “ ‘Tl‘he turkey!
