Facts have been brought out in
the case of Reed Smoot in the con
test over his eligibility for a seat
in the senate which shows that
Utah easily leads the nation in the
matter of large families. One wit
ness was Joseph F. Smith, head of
the Mormon church, who rejoices
in the possession of five wives and
is the father of forty-five children.
Another interesting witness was M.
W .Merrill, one of the twelve apos
tles. This gentleman is husband
to eight wives. His offsprings num
ber forty-five or more; he is the
proud grandfather of no less than
150 girls and boys. Those two
are merely typical of a large num
ber.
In his testimony before the sen
ate investigating committee in the
case of Senator Smoot, Joseph,
Smith, head of the Mor*

since the manifesto of 1800 prohib
iting the practice of polygamy in
the church.
A fleet of five Japanese battle

have been killed.
Wm. O'Brien, an insane man
who had just been discharged from
an asylum, entered the office of the
war department at Washington and
shot Bobert J. Manning and Ar
thur Wioeker, clerks. The man

Prairie fires swept over 3,000
square miles of territory in Kiowa
and Commanche counties, Okla
homa, destroying hundreds of
homes. It is known that a number

sistance in fighting the flames.
Kussian soldiers in Port Arthur
are now suffering for water as well
as food, according to dispatches re
ceived from the czar's stronghold
in the far east. The water supply

and bursts the vats before they ar
rive for garrison use. There is a
condenser in the town, but this
provel totally insufficient to supply
the needs of the garrison and the
inhabitants.
rield .Marshal Count von \\ al

Conn Yon Waldersee was the most
distinguished officer in the German
armv and, with the possible excep
tion of Earl Roberts, probably the
most noted military commander of
Europe. He served with distinction
in the Franco-Prussian war. He
was well known on both continents
because of his marriage to an Amer
ican woman and because of his al
tercation in China with Lieut. Gen.
Chaffee, now ranking officer of the
American army.
The jury at Clayton, Mo., in the
case of F. Seymour Barrington,
charged with the murder of James
P. McGann, returned a verdict of
guilty in the first degree. The case
attracted more than usual attention
on account of the past history of the
accused, lie has a long criminal
history and while passing under
the assumed name of “Lord” Bar
rington of England married a
prominent society lady of Kansas
City. When his real character be
came known the lady secured a di
vorce. McCann had been Barring
ton's benefactor and had assisted
him on several occasions. The mur
dered man was seen last alive with
Barrington, and the following
morning his dead body was found
in an old quarry a few miles from
Clayton, Mo. The evidence against
the convicted man was very strong.

Impressions of Young Womf.n 'Who
Had Become Private Secretary
to a Captain of Industry.
Six months n"oI became a pri
vate secretary to a Wall street
“captain of industry,” writes a
young woman bread winner in the
Metropolitan Magazine. Volun
tarily—no, not voluntarily, for I
was driven by fate—I secured
through a certain influence a posi
tion which thousands of women
would turn heaven and earth to
get.
Private secretary to a captain
of industry! It has a big sound in
the ears of the toiler—a splendid,
mouth-filling sound; but what
does it mean? It means in cold
verity that I have entered an or
eupation which not one woman in
a thousand can endure for more
than five years without breaking
down, or else taking refuge in
pills, potions, prescriptions and
physicians to stimulate her over
strained nerves, her tired brain,
and her flagging energies.
I used to think I knew New York
in those bright days when I saw il
through the eyes of the petted
daughter of the richest man of a
western city. It was a sumptuous
life of color, vivacity and gayety—
the life that one sees in the big
splendid hotels, where the days
pass so swiftly that they seem tr
tread upon each other’s heels
glad hours of joyous excitement
spent in sight-seeing, going to tin
play, the shops, the milliner’s anc
the dressmaker’s.
And now I. too, have beached m\
eggshell shallop upon the rocks
and have joined the processior
toiling up and down the cliffs
that vast army of workers of 1 hi?
great Manhattan, which struggle?
south to business in the morninj
and back to hall bedrooms a
night.
Yet, I will not deny that ii
some measure I enjoy it; I still fee
the fierce zest of plunging into tin
maelstrom to battle with Uu
waves. I love the turmoil and tin
push, and the hurry. Even nov
the panting restlessness of effon
and the mighty sweep of the lif*
buoys me up and inspires me lik<
the surge of a great choral.
And I am part of it. No longer;
cumberer of the earth, reapin’
where I have not sown; but ;
wage-earner, ready to pay in tin
stern coin of daily toil for tin
clothes on my back, the food ]
place in my mouth, and, it some
times seems to me, for the very ail
I breathe.

Horseflesh Liked in Paris—A Regu
lar Horse Slaughter House Has
Been Installed.
Nineteen hundred and foui
will be memorable in the culinary
art as the first year in whirl
horseflesh obtained from the eit>
of Paris the official recognition a*
legitimate human food. Now, foi
the first time, a regular horse
slaughter house has been in
stalled in Paris, says the New
York Tribune.
It is expected that this will
greatly increase tin* consumption
of horseflesh in Paris. Last yeai
not less than 0(5,000 horses were
eaten in the city limits. The price
is 50 per cent, cheaper than beef.
The price of old horses, which
singularly enough, are said tc
make the best meat, has risen
from $40 to $50 apiece. The
butchers buy aged, broken down
animals from the cab companies
and put them out at grass for a
few weeks, and then they are tak
en to the slaughter house.
Paris horse meat is darker in
color than beef. Amateurs sav
that it has the delicate taste of
spring chicken and the aroma of
fat goose. Horseflesh is, however,
seldom eaten in the form of steaks
or roast joints. It makes excel
lent pot-a u-feii and palatable
stews with potatoes and tripe,
The sausages in Paris, especially
the hard, cold, dark red sort that
one finds in the night restaurants,
are almost all made of horseflesh
