They sent her to school. Miss Eula
Foute. who has charge of the ju
venile grade at Williams street school,
took the little tot in and was quick

to teach her and then—she made an awful
discovery. The child could not be taught.
She could not learn figures. She could not
add one and one together. She read, but
merely by rote; shs did not understand. It
was a hopeless task. The baby mind of the

The mother had with growing distress
noticed day by day this strange mental
phenomenon In her child From early
i h'.hfliood she had observed something In
little Emily that was diffi-n nt from other j
children. Now the slgnllicalire of this aw- i

of a tragedy.

little girl. All have given up the case I

Church Manager Located at Cnatta- p

Montgomery, Ala.. April 19.—(Special.)— , I
The members of the Church of Jesus Chris' I
i of Latter Day Saints have applied to the
: governor of Alabama for protection against ,
the lawlesksmss la Crenshaw county, re- i
cently enacted against some of their e’ders
operating in that county.
Ellas S. Kimball, manager of tho ®outh- ’
ern mission of tho Mormon church, located 1
nt Chattanooga, T- nn., complains that two '
of his elders were roughly handled by
j disguised men, and Inclosed tho following
letter to the governor:
I "Last Saturday night, while coming i"
! home from the meeting wit’a I'ncle Sam.
I Elder Spencer and four ladits. E irr Sp-r.- !
i cer and mys-ls wore attack-d by n armed, i"
blackened and masked mob. A deta -hment i
■ took L'ncle Isham und the ladles .md about l' k

threat.-. With uplifted h: nds and i>.. long ‘ ,l ’
into tiie mouths of several guns we w. r- lr
made to say we would h a.e th. state. W, lu
were asked if we preferred being thrown
into a near by mill ponu or whip? .1 until
we could just crawl i_w;:v. Th tl-rd:, h "
human agents of the devil told us the
damnable do-trine we were preaching must
b- stopped and they were going to do it. "
We were finally let go with the threat ]'
that If we came back into these parts again
our blood would be the only satisfaction.” 1
The govern* r yeaterdaj m irning eld a
conference with the ciders and the sheriff la
of Crenshaw county and stated that the
constitution plainly gave the right of free- a
dom in religion to all persons, and that
the persons implicat’d should Ik- punished 'J

Constitution of the State Quoted |,
Montgomery, Ala.. May I—(Spe.-lal.)— in
Governor Johnston insists th at th- const:- ■
tutlon of the stale demands the protection th
of Mormons against intimidations or perse
cutions on account of their fa'th. (
Tho constitutional clause in question
reads us follows.
"Article 1. s-c’lon 4 —That no religion IL ‘
shall Ik; establish’d by law that no pr. f-r- !
ence shttll be given by 1 v. to any re
llglons sect, so.-ioty, d ".omiti '.iion o- »v
mode of worsnip. that no on- shall ho
compelled by law to att.-nd any plac* of r ,
worship, nor to pay any tifh-s’. i ixes or ,
other rate, for building or r-p.'ring an;.
place of worship, or for mnintalnii-.r any **
minister or ministry; that no religious t. st
shall b- requir’d as a qualification for a-v JS
ofil.-e or public trust und -r this stale; na.l » v
that the idvfl rights, privll. > s and capaci
ties of any citizen shall not be in any m -n- . .
ner affcifted by his religious prim i des."
The governor reasons that th- Mormons el
are a religious sect; that they Is li-v in 1
tho God of the Christians and beli. v- that '
tho Bible Is His Inspired -.'.-ord. They l - '
Her®, however, the book of Mormon to b
an Inspired revised c-diilon of the Al
mighty's laws and Intunetlons. The gov- 1
ernor considers tii.it they are entitled, un- n
der the constitutional provision ; .!• >ve it
quoted, to this belief. He says th- Mor
mors in this state number only about 4-J0; t<
they do not preach, advocate nor practice ’
polygamy and that, no matter how much t<
he might differ with them In their religious
theories, it Is his duty To protect them. v.
The recant btgtiwaylng and flogging of
the two elders in north ast Alai ma is b
consider'd by the governor to b- a fia- f
grant!? unlawful proceeding and h- has in- >
strui-ted th- sheriff of the county in which d
It o-eurr-d to use -very means in l.s ig
pow< r to discover and to punish the per- «(
petrators.
IT IS A SHAM AND
TOTALLYWORTIILESS
What International Conferences Have
Costand Accomplished.
BILL TO PREVENT A JUNKET
Representative Lewis, of Washington,
Jumps on the Republican Schema.
No Chance for Action.
Washington. April 21—(Special.)—Thn ut»
t*r sham ot the republican pretense e- oe
llef in International bimetallism Is every
where recognized. The men who spoke of
their convictions when the Chandler bill
was before the house pointed out the emp
tiness of the r< publican claims and every
body here believes that these criticisms
were right. But It was a McKinley admin
istration bill, therefore It was put through.
Now a bill to repeal that act under
which tho president has named Messrs.
Wolcott. Paine and Stevenson as commis
sioners for this country to any Interna
tional monetary conference that may be
called has been Introduced In tha house
of representatives.
This, it will be remembered, was one
of the Inst acts of the late congress. It
was feathered In uhe seneato by i?r.
Chandler, who seems to be the only genu
ine bimetallist left In republican ranks. Hs
put It through on the assurance that It
according to Mr. McKinley’s wishes
and was one of tho steps in the republican
programme for prosperity's return. Chand
ler believes now. as he believed then, that
it might do some good; but nobody else
believed with him then and nobody else
believes with him now.
However, the commissioners have been
appointed and the excuse for a very de
lightful summer trip to Europe is given
the three commissioners under that feat
ure of the law which provides for "nego
tiation” as one of the methods to bring
about International action.
Representative Lewis Against Junket.
To return to the repeal bill. It was In
troduced by Representative James Hamil
ton Lz wls. of Washington, a former Geor
gian. He wants to prevent the departure
of these three gentlemen—to cut oft their
summer junket.
"The commission Is absolutely useless
and everybody who has looked Into the sit
uation will say so," tald ths Introducer
of the repeal bill. "I believe that we ought
to save the money that will be spent for
t can result in no good. Senator Wolcott
when he cam* back uald what we have
c< ntended, that we can only have inter
national agreement In case England cen
se:.ts. Now England, through her lord of
the treasury, as voiced by her official
government journal, notifies us that while
Inclined to dins hospitably those commis
sioners she will not co-operate with them.
Gen. my refuses to receive them except
e guests. Japan, forced by England, from

sia will not negotiate, pending her oom

So with whom are we to negotiate?
