THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-MONDAY, MARCH 12, 1900,
EVENTS OF DAY IN
WEST SCRANTON
LECTURE OK "UTAH AND HER
PEOPLE" BY ELDER SNOW.
"The State Has Been Searched from
End to End, but Not a Single Case
of Plural Marriage Has Been Dis
covered," He Says Dr. Lamb, of
Philadelphia, Speaks for the
Clergymen's Retiring Fund Sod
ety Illustrated Lecture in the
Jackson Street Baptist Church.
President Edward II. Snow, of the
Eastern States mission of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
lectured In Co-operative hall last even
ing on the sublect of "t'tnh and Her
People." The lecture was attended by
a good-slued audience, and the speaker
gave an Interesting talk, during the
course of which he said:
It U a srrat mistake, bat one often
made, to believe that plural marriages
obtain anions; the .Mormon people. Foi
the past ion yearn I1k marrying of plural
wives has ceai-ed In tin.' Moimim church.
The civilization of tin- t'nlted Stales was
HRnlntt It. The soel.it evil was prefer
able. Congressional enactments were
passed against plural marriage. The
Mormon people, notwithstanding all .in
sertions to the contrary, are wedded to
American Institutions, and ore taught to
uphold the constitution of Hie land.
They believed the aull-iol.gamy laws
to be unconstitutional to be an Infring
ment of religious liberty. guarantetd by
the first amendment of the constitution.
They contested In the points the laws of
congress, meanwhile undergoing Impris
onment, until the huoreme court de
clared the law constllutlon.il. In 1S00,
Wllford Woodruff, then president of the
church, by a manifesto, declared that
plural marriage ihould cease In the.
church, and no mor marriages should
be contracted thai were conlraly to thra
laws of the Cnlted States.
Politics heretofore along Mormon and
nntl-Mormoii lines, now faded away.
Peace was declared and alllgnments were
.made on national party lines. Mormons
nil non-Mormons divided according to
their political belief. In January. 1S,
I 'tali was admitted as a state. The
enabling act, by which the teirltory
became a state, provided ns a precedent
to admission "That polygamous or plural
n-frrlagcs should be forever prohibited."
This prohibition was inserted in the
constitution, and the Identical penalties
in escribed by the concessional law upon
the sublect of polygamy, were made a
iMrt of I he constitution. It has been
freely charged that t'tah has broken
faith wllh th" government. It is not
true. Tlie only condition asked by coll
ar ss was the discontinuance of jilural
marriages. This was promised by the
church five years prior to statehood, the
constitution prohibited It, and since then
the church has not only kept Us pledge
but the people have absolutely obeyed
the law against polygamy or plural mar
riage. During the" last sx months the Vnited
States has been swept like a hurricane
with a storm of nutl-Mormnnlsm, because
of the belief that the charges were Hue.
he people of America have been bum.

The Fashion Event
Of the Opening Spring Season
"I wonder what I shall wear this spring?" How many la
dies have already asked that question this year, and how few
have been able to answer it, because the new Modes and Fabrics
for the approaching season had not been seen or determined on
by the leaders of fashion. Well, the guessing period has been
passed. All the weaves, makes and colorings to be worn during
Spring and Summer of 1900 have passed through the crucial test,
which decides selection or rejection, and today correct styles are
as well defined as they will be in the month ol June, when trade
begins to slack off, Under such favorable conditions it affords
us pleasure to announce to the Dress Goods Buyers of Northeast
ern Pennsylvania that
Our First Formal Display
Of New Dress Fabrics for 1900
Opens this week, when everybody who cares to call and look at
the new textile creations, will be a welcome visitor. As you are
probably aware, we carry the only extensive and complete stock
in this line in this end ol the state, hence the importance of this
announcement.
Among the Thousands
Of Pieces Shown
You will find the following among other weaves, in all the
flew shades, mixtures and color blend effects :
5 ' Homespuns, Cheviots, Zebelines, Westras, '
' Camel's Hairs, Albio Suitings, Broadcloths,
..Vitolis, Venetians, Klodos, Wolfrades, Eper-
on Cloths, Prunella Cloths, French Beixes,
Ppplins. Granites, Serges. Hohairs, Whin-
I cords Plaid Backs, Henriettas, Satin Dot
" iXrmures, Polka Dot Velveteens, Bannock-
burn Suitings, Plaids in Pastel Shadings,etc.
Most of the Above
Are exclusively confined to the Globe Warehouse, but seekers
after High Novelties that can never become common will also
find enough to interest them during the special show days this
week.
Globe Warehouse
bugged. Tho storm bureau, ai usual, has
Its seat beyond tho confines of th Jtoeky
mountains. It Is manipulated by tho
disappointed politician and tho evangeli
cal clergy. Ministers of the gospol lutvn
left their callings and played the pnrt of
spies.
Tho state has been searched from end
to end, hut not a single caso of pluial

In 1S90, when plural marriage was dis
continued there wtro men with families
w ho were not asked nor expected to dis
rupt their relations and dishonor their
wives and stigmatize their chlldten.
These relations by common consent were
left statu quo they would soon end as a
matter of course. These relations were
defined as "unlawful cohabitation," and
wero by law of congress a misdemeanor,
The law of congress against polygamy
and unlawful cohabitation was enacted In
18P2 by thii territorial legislature, nnd
has been In full forco ever since. Tho
cases of so-called polygamy are Just such
cases and are punishable now ns they
eer have been. The Judiciary Is In tho
hand of non-Mormons, the law Is on tho
statute books and all who violate the law
aro amenab'e.
It must be potent lo all honest men
that no church would attempt to say to a
mnn that ho should cease to do his duty
bv the wives whom he married by the
sanction and rites of a holy church, yet
no one Is encouraged to break even this
law which denies him this privilege, but
on the contrary he does so upon his own
responsibility.
NEW IiL'ILDIXa DESTROYED.
The flames which Illuminated West
Scranton at u late hour Saturday night
arose' fioin the burning of a large
double frame building in course of
erection on the West Park Iand com
pany's plot, on North Main avenue.
The structure was burned to the
ground, as the fire had gained such
headway before the tlremen arrived
that It was useless .to attempt to
save it.
Tho house was being erected for N.
L. Conrad and was to have been occu
pied on April 1. The origin of the Are
Is a mystery, as there were no stoves
In the building. The structure was
valued at $2,000 and was recently in
sured for that amount by Contractor

A gale was blowing when the fire
broke out and the spaiks were scat

firemen, prevented any other fires.

SCRANTON LODGE OF
SONS OF BENJAMIN
Concluded from Pago S.l
to Chalrmnn Hering's efforts to pro
mote such an organization In this city
and creating considerable laughter by
several humorous remarks concerning
It, and the possibilities of women dele
gates to the grand lodge conventions,
from which he drifted to a serious and
pretty tribute to the Jewish women.
He concluded by remarKing that he
would not detain his hearers longer
and expressed himself as very much
gratified by his reception and treat
ment In Scranton.
He added n few brief remarks con
cerning the great benefits derived from
the efforts of tho Jewish minister,
speaking In highly eulogistic terms of
the late Rev. Dr. Jacobs, of New York
cltv.
DR. CHAPMAN INTRODUCED.
The toastmaster then Introduced Rev.
Dr. E. M. Chapman, who gave a most
Interesting and humorous talk. He
disparagingly referred to his efforts as
the attempts of a small star to twinkle
as compared" with the blaze of the
mighty sun, as he spoke of the preced
ing speaker.
He declared the most pleasing feat
ure of the evening to him was the
eulogy of his own father-in-law, Rabbi
Jacobs, by Grand Master Levy. Un
like the presiding speaker, he con
demned women's lodges and offered
many humorous objections to them.
Speaking In a more serious strain he
paid a beautiful tribute to the mothers
In Israel, saying that "whenever the
dark days have fallen on the Jewish
race it was a Deborah that arose and
urged on an unwilling Barak to might
ier efforts."
"There Is not a man," said he, "who
Is not better by being married to some
good woman. The wompn of Israel
hae been the cause of everything
good, beautiful and true In Israel from
the beginning down to our present his
tory." Toastmaster Landau then Introduced
Chairman of Finances Rudolph Hcr
ing, the most popular speaker of the
evening. He spoke Jokingly of the for
mation of the order, when the num
bers and funds wero so small that tho
treasurer used as a safe a bandanna
handkerchief. But, under Ferdinand
Levy's leadership, the lodge has made
great strides and has now become a
great and potent factor In Jewish life.
He quoted statistics of the order and
concluded In a happy manner.
Among the other speakers of thu
evening were Chairman of Appeal
Louis Strauss, who gave an excellent
talk, and vailous other members, all
of whose remarks were received with
great favor.
Tho committee In charge of the even
ing consisted of Isadotc Flnkelsteln,
chairman: Dr. Feinberg, S. Llpson, M.
