Wrong fashion is productive of a most
ruinous str fe The expen lit ire of many
households is adjusted by wn it their neigh
bors have, not bv what they them* fives can
alford to have: and the great anxiety is as
to who shad h ive the finest house and the
mo-t costly equi nge. The weapons used in
the warfare ol so inline are not Minnie rifles
nd 1 lalilgreu guns, and Hotchkiss shells, bat
chairs, and tn rrurs, and vases, an i Gobelins,
and Axminsters. Many household establish
in ills ar - li.vo racing steamboats propelled
at the utmost strain and risii, and iust com

Agun Wrong fashion makes people un
natur il and untrue. It is a factory from
whi li has come forth more hollow pretenses
ad mime mng fla.teries and hypocrisies than
the l .o ell mil s ever tu nod out shawls and
rments. b ash on is the greatest of all
iiars. It has made society insincere. You
know not what to be ieve. W lien peop'e ask
■. u to come you do not know whether or not
hey want you to come. When they send
i noir regards you do not know whether it is
m expi i ssi. n of their heart, or an external
civi.it v. We have lati*d to take almost
*v, ry.hing at a discount. Word is sent “not
at hour when th -y are only too lazy to dress
rlionise xcs. They say: “The furnace hi
! .iustgonecr.it " when in truth th *v have ha 1 j
| no fire in it al! winter. They apologize for j
: the unusual barrenness of th 'ir table when |
i they never live any better. They decry their I
most luxurious entertainments to win a ]
siiower of approval. Th *y apologize for
their appearance, as thou ;h it wore unusual,
when always at home they look just so. They
wouid make you believe that some nicesket h
on the wall was the work of a master paint *r.
“It "as an heirloom and on *e hung on the
walls of a castle: an 1 a Duke gave it to their j
grandfather.” People who will not lie about j
anything else will lie about a picture t'n a
smal income we must make the world bel: ve
that we are affluent, and our life becomes a
cheat, a counterfeit an i a sham.
Few people are really natural and unaf

the height and death of great- subjects; also

esfs momentous and eternal, ex's c rated bv
the shape of a vest button. What is t!i<
matter with that woman wrought up inti
the agony of despair; Oh, her muif is out of
fashion!
Worse than all—this folly is not satisfied
until it has extirpated every moral s a t meat
and blasted the soul. A war Ir lv is the ; o k
upon winch many a soul has been riven. Tlv
excitement of a luxurious life has been the
vortex that has swallowed up more souls than
the Maelstrom off Norway ever and stroyed
ships. What room for elevating themes in a
heart Shed with the trivial and unreal?
Who can wonder that in this haste for sun
gilded baubles and winged th stle down men
and women Giould tumble into ruin? The
travelers to destruction are not all clothe 1 in

chariot: and behind steeds in harness golden

i.aars hang out their colors over th ; road: an ;
trees of tropical fruitfulness overbranch the
way. No sound of woe disturbs the air, but
all is light, an 1 song, and ineand gorgeou *
ness. The world comes out to meet the da
tiling procession with: “Hurrah 1 hurrah!”
But suddenly there is a halt and an outcry o(
dismay, and an overthrow worse than the
Re 1 Sea tumbling u’-on the Fgvpdans.

what will become of the disciple of unholy
fashion ?
But watch the career of one thoroughly
artificial. Through inheritance, or peril p
his own skill, having obtiinel enough fo
purposes of display, he feels himself thor
oughly established. He sits aloof from tli

the darkness; but exquisite embroidery, ele
gant pictures, and a bust of Shakespeare on
the mantel. The pulses stop; the minister
comes in to read of the resurrection, that day
when the dead shall come up—both he that
died ou the floor and he that expired under
princely upholstery. He is carried out to
burial. Only a few mourners, but a great
array of carriages. Not one common man at
the mneral. No befriended orphan to weep
a tear on his grave. No child of wmt press
ing through the ranks of the weeping, saying:
“He is the last friend I have, and I must see
him ”
What now? He was a great man. Shall
no; chariots of salvation come down to the
other side of the Jordan and escort him up
lo the pa lace? Shall not the angels exclaim:
"Turn outl A I'r nce is coming.” Will the
bells chime? Will there be harpers with
their harps and trumpeters with their trum
pets.
No! no! no! There will be a shudder as
though a c.il ira ty ha l happened. Standing
on heaven's battlements, a watchman wiilsee
som thing shoot past with fiery downfall,
and shriek: "Wandering star, for whom is
reserved the blaeknos, of darkness forever!”
tut sadder yet is the closing of a woman’s
life that has been worshipful of worldliness,all
the wealth of a lifetime’s opportunity wasted.
What a tragedy 1 A woman on her dying
pillow, thinking of what she might havedone
for God and humanity, and yet having done
nothing! Compare her demise with that of
a Harriet Newell going down to peacefully
die in the Isle of France, reviewing her life
time sacrifices for the redemption of India;
or at the last hours of Elizabeth Hervey,
having exchanged her bright New Eng
land home for a life at Bombay amid
stolid heathenism, that she might ilium n> it,
saying in her last moments: "If this is the
dark valley, it has not a dark spot on it; all i
is light, light!” or the exit of Mrs. Lennox, i
falling under sudden disease at Smyrna,
breathing out her soul with the last words: ;
“ Oh, how happy! ” or the departure of Mrs. j
Sarah 1). Com-tock, spending her life for
the salvation of Burmah. giving up her chil
dren that they might com > home to Am-rica
to be edcated, and saying, as she kissed
them good-by, never to see them again: "Oh,
Jesus. I do this for Thee!” Or the going of
10,000 good women, who, in less resounding
spueres. nave livel not for themselves, but
for God and the alleviation of human suffer- j
ing. That was a brilliant szene when, in
1-ksD, in the campaign for the capture of
Ron la. Queen Elizabeth of Castile, on
horseback, side by si le with King Ferdinand,
rode out to review the troops. As she in
bright armor rode along the lines of the
Spanish host, and waved her jewed hand
to the warriors, and ever and anon uttered
words of cheer to the worn veterans who, far
away from their homes, were r sk ng their
lives for the kingdom, it was a spectacle that
illumines history. But more glorious will be
the scene when that consecrated Christian
woman orowne 1 in heaven shall review the
sou < that on earth -he clothed, and led. and ;
me lieined, and evangelized, and then intro- i
duced into the ranks celestial. As on the
white horse of victory, side by side with the
king, this queen unto Go 1 forever shall ride j
pa-t the lines of those in whos° salvation ;
she bore a part, the scene wiil surpass any- !
thing ever witnessed on earth in the life of ;
Joan of Arc. or Penel >pe. or Semiramis, or !

The Death of Mr* Briggs at Denver
Hec alls the Days of Mormon Ter
rorism.
[Prom the Denver News.]
"he death of Mrs. Briggs, which oc
curred on Wednesday, is not in itself a
matter of much public comment, but it
brings onco more to light the etory of a
miraculous escape of a couple from the
notorious Brigham Young and his Ter
ri t< ry in the days when capture meant
certain death at the hands of the ever
watchful and much-dreaded Danite*,
"ho were then in the full zenith of their
power. Then it was that murder was
no crime in the eyes of the zealous apos
tils of Mormondoin, and it needed but a
si rniiieunt nod from some chosen leader
to send a soul from the narrow confines
of earth. There was no retaliatory ven
geance, and the story of the escape of
Mr. and Mrs. Briggs becomes more ro
mantic when the facts in regard to the
alFuir become fully known.
It was just twenty-nine years ago
when the couple made their first appear
ance in Denver. They came in the usual
way in those days—by teams—and their
story at first was hardly credited. Y'ears
before, imbued with the Mormon prin
ciples, they had gone to Utah and be
came willing subjects of Brigham Young,
who was at that time in the height of
his power. Mr. Briggs became a chosen
disciple and an elder of the Mormon
( : ivh, and bid fair to become a fixture
; the Territory. But he remained true
to ids first wifp, and never would con
sent to avail himself of the Mormon
privilege by increasing the number of
his “better-halfs.”
Where the trouble between Briggs
and the Church arose is not exaci fy
known, although some say that his dis
inclination to be a much-married man
aroused the suspicions of his brother eld
ers, who seemed to think he was not
doing quite the right tiling in not prac
tising what he preached. Another story
has it that the amorous Brigham Young
was slightly inclined to fall in love with
Mrs. Briggs, and as it was a well-known
fact that anything the “old man” wanted
he was sure to have sooner or later,
Briggs conclude 1 to shake Utah and the
Mormons and thus save his wife from
becoming famous and probably having
her hair pulled by the score or more of
other Mrs. Youngs.
Both stories are probable, but which
is the strict truth is not known. Suffice
it that the Briggses arrived in Denver in
the fall of ISSB, and Briggs was nick
named “Gov.” Briggs, after the Gov
ernor of Massachusetts. It was not
long afterwards that “Gov.” Briggs
{>assod to the home of his fathers and
eft the wife he had snatched from Mor
mon hands a widow.
Airs. Briggs went into mourning for
the good old man and was much bereav
ed at his demise, especially after the
troubles they had gone tltrough in the
wild woolly West together. Five years
ago, however, she brightened up, looked
young again, and astonished her friends
by remarrying, at the ripe old age of
ninety years, a miner by the name of 0.
E. Collyer, who was considerably young
er than slio was.
Nov Phase o! Drunkenness.
The Jamaica ginger drunkard is anew
form of intoxication. In the sparsely
settled regions of the South liquor is sold,
if at all, in the “general st res,” and
these will not take the risk.of losingthcir
ge eral trade bv selling--** juors currcp
titiously when public sentiment has de
clared in favor of prohibition. But they
can soli .Jamaica ginger, an i the thirsty
toper can become fairly drunk on a lialf
pi ut bottle of this mixture of alcohol and
essence of ginger. In view of the use of
Jamaica ginger as an intoxicating bev
erage, the town officers of Dawsnnville,
Ga., have passed an ordinance prohibit
ing the sale of that tipple within the
town limits.

Prof. E. Stone Wiggins, the earthquake
prophet, has been heard from again. He
says that a great earthquake period in
North America will begin in 1904—0n
August 19, to be exact. Meanwhile he
will not bother with small shakes, like
those which have taken place recently,
which are merely “the negative or reflex
action of an earthquake, the posi.ion be

It’s Always the Way.
“Didn’t I tell you so?” said a gentleman to
an acquaintance whom he chanced to meet on
the street; “it’s always the way.” “\Yh, t’sal
ways the way?” inquired a mutual friend of
the two men who happened along just then.
“Why, just this,” replied the first speaker:
“you see -mith, here; the last time I met, him
