He has vies . 'u the subject of prophecy -and he does not hesitate to tell what these views aro, and to insist upon there with all the energy ho possesses. M. Baxter has been lectnring at Teiverpoeli and the Daily Post of that city gives us au abstract. Tho timo fixed.is three o'clock, April the ol4istith) uinotoon hundred and one. Before Ghon England would become . separated legislatively, if uot entire- ly, front Ireland, India, and its colonies, England would shortly • be in the waters of deep trouble, and • would become part of the ten- kingdomed confederacy. Antichrist would be a Napoleon, aud would rise iot later thau 1892 or 1893, about 'eight or nine years before the end of the age. Napoleon, as Anti- christ, would first be king of Syria for two or throe yearshefore reviv- ing the Napoleon dynasty over France and Europe. . It was proba- ble that Lucien Bonaparte, who was now a cardinal, would .be the Anti- christs. Next year or the year after would witness a tremendous war between France and Germany. Ger- many would be eouquered by Franco and driven altogether across the Rhine. Luxemburg, Belgium, and the Prussian -Rhine Provinces would bo annexed to F1'111100. Franco would bo the great loader in the ton- kingdomed confederacy and Eng- land would bo more or less subju- gated to her. In tho war between Frauce and Germany tens of thous- ands of thef. .110U in those countries would be slain in battle. Many a young man in England who had never handled anything more formidable than a steel pen, or a cricket bat, would in the next few years have to handle a musket and a sword and smell powder. (Laugh. ter.) The young men and young women before him iu ten years' time would be cut ofr, and so would the morn elderly people. It would not make much difference to people who wore 50 or 60 years of ago, for in the natural order of things they could not expect to live more than ten years longer. To youngpeople, however; the difference was enorm- ous, for in place of having forty -or fifty years to live on this earth they had only got at the outside ten Years. Many of them would bo killed aniid the scenes of carnage and bloodshed •shortly about to take place. He predicted that a universal war would rage from October, 1806, to August, 1897, and that then would come the three and a -half years of great trib- ulation, .or the period of the last Antichrist's persecution, He stated that millions of Christians 'would eyee_yr hole? heeleekeedeeller refusing -during that period to worship Anti- christ or his imago. Tho lecturer gave the date March to October, 1899, when 144,000 watchful Chris- tians would ascend ;from earth to Heaven. The descent -of Christ at the Battle of Armageddon to destroy Antichrist and to begin tho Millen- nium he fixed on as April llth, 1001. Tho lectures were illustrated. by a number of diagrams. depicting horns, beasts, and symbolical figures mentioned in Daniel and Revelation. The lecturer challenged. any minis- ter or individual to show that he had made any mistake ill the facts he had mentioned, and added that to comprehend these things his hearers. must take the eye -glasses of Daniel, the spectacles Of Revelations and, the telescopes of Isaiah and Ezekiel. — - -- Reprehensibly Short. Of all the shortening and clipping that goes on iu daily conversation, what so meaningless as this exclaina- . tion—." Thanks "? If one has done • you a favor, why iotsay " I. thank you," not " I thank ye," but "I thank you," plainly, clearly and distinctly. The exclammation of "Thanks," jerked out of some un- fathomable depths, savors of too much haste to be polite, and had best be omitted. "Thanks " is only equaled, in my judgment, in straight down wrong- ness ia tho idiocy that responds to tho polite " I thank you," or " Very much obliged," for a favor render- ed or a kindness performed, with " Not at all." I have, I think, written of this before, but it will bear repetition, and 1 can see no teason why, if you pick up a lady's kerchief, tender her your seat in a car, or save a friend from a danger- ous fall on that result of a fool's carelessness, an orange peel, and are rewarded with that exactly proper remark, " I thank you," I say I can eco no good and valid reason why it woold not be equally as proper and true to say, "You're a liar," as to repond with " Not at all." Honest, now, can you? —• !Me, •Glirie Relate Blzperionce WzthVolygamlo Wooers. t. t0018 Opbe peatogrA There are plenty of pretty erls in Salte.Ulee ty. They re ger., m90 girls, too, Some of them are tnarried A few are in polygamy, and have husbands old enough to be their great-grandfitthere—white- haired, long -bearded, and round; shouldered, lords and masters, who have convenented to 10%10, honor, and cherish a half dozen wives at a time. There are others -etel-ro are married to young Mot'nion gentle- uten, and ivho %vitt not listen to the slightest suggestion of polygamy. Their husbands will' say they know and believe that the prim:jilt° is right, but all the seine one wife is enough for them. They say this because .they aro aware that if they wanted to take another wife the pretty companione, they now have would .tear out their hair by the mots. I was introduced the other night to one of Brigham Young's daughters. She is a , charming brunette, educated and accomplish- ed, and, although Mormon as far as religious convictions are concerned, she is not ignorant of the fact that she had sixteen mothers when her delightful old papa died, and she does not believe there was 'anything wrong in this plurality of mothers. Yet she. will not even let her bus. band talk of polygamy. You should see her dark eyes snap and the de- termined expression that is forced into her red lips when anybody suggests that hor Charley may any of those fine days bring home a second wife. "Just lot him try it once," she remarkode patting a small foot on the floor; "just let him bring her, and if I don't furnish him and her with the biggest circus. they ever saw, then my nettle isn't what it is that's all." And her husband is the son of a Mormon bishop, too. Tho old man has seven wives and thirty-six chil- dren, and he has eerved a term iu the Utah penitentiary for unlawful cohabitation, under the Edmunds - Tucker act. Brigham's daughter is not the only young wife here who is so stubbornly opposed to poly- gamy. You hear from every side statements of Mermen dignitaries who make it a condition when they accept the husband that the -so -latter must renounce, at least as far as its practice is concerned, tho doctrine of plural practice is concerned, the doctrine of plural marriage. And you bear Mormon girls of marriageable ago denounce the system. If they along to polygamic families they do not hesitate to speak of the mis- ery and sorrow that dwell in two and three and four wife homes. They denouuce the system, and "iii-ory of theeneertithe-rthserrever the chance of being dragged,into poly-. gamy, seek their beaus and lovers among the Gentile young mon of the community. I had a talk. to day with two young ladies of this - kind, a good looking blonde and a heart -winning Ilnuette7-015"—ir 18; the other not over 20. Both aro English girls, and have Mormon parents. Tliey say prayers morn- ing and evening, es it is the cus- .tom in all Mormon families, and. until recently neither was out of her house after 0 o'c' el.c at night, they believe in theAeirch, but not in polygamy, and Jue of them has two brothers, lee', Mormons, who, sho says, would k i1 hor if site became the second or trd wife of any man, I opened thc conversa- tion by asking them in. jest why they didn't get married : "Oh it isn't because we haven't had chances," said one of them, half saucily. "When I came here four years ago, I wasn't in the town two weeks 'Caere I had over twenty offers of marriage and some of them from- high-up gentlemen, too, with plenty of means." "And why didn't you hook on to one of them V' I asked. "Because I didn't want to go into polygamy," she answered. "They are all men who had wives, and some of them were old enough to bo ehot. I wouldn't marry in poly- gamy, not for all the world. My mother wouldn't bit me do it no i dm." "Have many polygamists asked for your hand ?" "Yes, lots of them. I hadn't been in Salt Lake a week when a Mormon gentleman called at the house and asked father if he might marry Inc. "You'll have to 'get her consent first, and when that's done I'll look into your record,' father said. Bless your soul, didn't ho call again that vory night and pro- pose. I told him I'd have to con- sider it awhile before I could give him any answer. I had some other beaus around already, and one of them going by at 10 o'clock saw the Mormon in the house, Do you know who that is?" he asked me. "Yes, he's so and so," eeee : said 1. Lariti341' Wei the young man.. ghat 001 Haig ,Ares said he, 'and hes (,;.op two wives.' , 'Oh,- my !" Wel I, and 1 wilted, He celled to sou my fat',..er again but he got a cold answer and never was bothered by Mtn any more. But I was bothered by others, and particularly by the chap's. May were farthe teeret, 'l'hey Would see we on the street and lay their plans to get acquaint ed with rue. They came to the house and begged my father, but hesaid no. Oue. old fellow, al- most 75, with four ,wives on his hands, came to the 'house one day, and I thought he had some business with father. He talked around for 'a while,and 1 lattghed and chatted witli him, not suspecting anything. Finally he told me he had been 'dreaming about me, 'That's I replied. 'But, said he, dream- ed 111.tt we lied boon married,' and from this he went on with his non - sono until he actually asked me to have hint. I told him I'd ship his faro it' he slid any more, but ho went -to father anyhow and argued the matter with him until father told him logo 'about his business and take care of the wives ho 'had before he we.ut -looking for another one." "Wore all your wooers polygam- ists V' "Yes, every ono of them." • "How mauy had you V' "Oh, dozens and dozens; I don't keep couute but after I was hero a year or so, they saw it was no use, and let me alone. Then there was the'Edmunds law to. correct and hold them in place. Mine has been the experience.. of every young girl who caine'to Utah previous to 1885. And were , many of them taken iu7 Why, bless you, yes. There aro some old, • haary-headed rascals dragging their feet ,along the streets of Salt Lake to 'day that have the prettiest young wives that you ever clapped oyes upon." "Aro you keeping con -witty with a Mormon young -Man ?" "Olt, dear, no. My fellow is a Gentile. 1 havelnid • hitn for two. years. When he came to our house tho first night mother asked him if he was a Mormon and he said no. Then she told him there was no use coming after her &tigh- ter unless he intended to join the Mormon ehurzh. He hasn't been to the houso since, but we love each other, and we're going to bo mar- ried whether the old folks like it' or not. The young Morinous haven't got anything, and they .don't look as if they ever would have anything, so what's the use of a young girl marryiug them?" Now it was the other girl's chance. Sho wanted to talk at the same time with her friend, but I couldn't listen to two eighty-word-a•minuters rattling away together. I made an agreement with No 2 to remain. quiet until No. 1 got through, when No. 2 would have the field to her- self, "I was hero before Nellie," said the young .lady, "and 1 went through similar experience, but the men were bolder and more persis- tent in ---my ruada_rn_y_ life misorablo and annoyed my par- ents, who are good Mormons, living in monogamy. until ono day I thought my father was going to kick a ninety-year-old ,bishop out of our front yard. If I am not 'married liFo'pre—etart-- bay it's ,becauseerve not been asked a hundred times, like Nellie here, and most of the men who asked Me had lots of ago and plenty of wives. But there is -one of them I must tell you absue He's dead now, but ho was- among the wealthiest men in the church. His name was Franklin Neff, Ono day his wife—the only wife ho had— came to our house and had a talk with Inc. Sho said she wanted me to marry Mr. Neff. I was only 15, but I knew what polygamy was, and I set mg heartagainst it. 'Mrs. Neff,' I said, ''if he wantmo he'll have to summon up cheek enough to ask me himself.' I said this in fun, and then I asked Mrs. Neff what she thought about it. She said herself and husband talked the whole matter over, and she had come to the conclusion that as 'her husband was obliged to take a second wife sho knew nobody she'd sooner have him take than myself; thereforeshe begged Inc when he called to giro him a favorable answer. This proposition, corning from a woman 35 years old, who had been married for years to a man of about tho same age, and who had assisted' him in accumulating his wealth, was at once strange and amusing. Mr Neff called that same night, and, in answer to his ques- tion, I told him that he must be crazy to make such an offer of .mar- riage to a mere child, but ho insist- ed that he was in earnest, and he went to my mother, who, on account of his high position in the church, was afraid to flatly refuse him. Mother said she could VA go against my Wishes, but if he could persuade mo into polygamy she would offer no objection; at the same time she warned me not to give my consent for any consideration. Mrs. Neff came around to see me' several times, and was always urging me to marry her husband, saying that he could not live without me, and both would bo all the happier for it. But thl intiCO''Shere tlitlitbd" the firmer I hew%) in inyresietancel they invited nee to poud a few. clays at their country home,s1 want, ed to refuse, but mother said I had .better go, I went, and I don't think 1 spout amore miserable time anywhere in illy life. The hue, band was continually asking me to go buggy riding with him and the wife was coaxing, me to couseut. Still, I thought I sew that the woman was unhappy. She seemed to bo doing what she did against her will. A .hall was given in the noighbOrhoCid and I wanted to go. Airs. Neff asked me to go with Frank—that Ras her husband's naino—but I said no, I would .g6 alone. She agreed, and we went. That man tried his very hardest that night to dance with mo, and his wife even asked Inc to dance with him, but I kept plenty of en- gagements ahead with the youug fellows and ho got no dance. "Some• one then told him that I Would not dance with him while Mrs. Neff was present, so he told her and she _went home: . After she went he came to Inc and said- she had gone and he hoped now lie would have the pleasure of a dance, but I continued to make excuses, and avoided hint. Thetime cense • to go home and I refused Co allow him to accompany mo unless there • was a third party along. His brother Amos accompanied us, and after leaving me at the door the two men went to Antos Neff's house. I found Mrs. Neff in tho room in tears—a more heart•breken woman I never saw. She had been sitting there fretting and crying and moan- ing for hours; thinking tat I was daucing with husband -and that I was Miming home alone with him. , And only tho night before she had sat up with me until; 12 o'clock trying to talk me into tu.trrying him, making alt sorts of promises, and saying that herself and Mr. Nolf would write out deeds for one- half of all the property and pos- sessions they had if I would only give my consent ! She begged mo not to say anything to her husband, about the crying scone,- as ho would scold her for it ; but I said I though t it was my duty to tell hiln, and also to let him know the opin- ion I had of him. I' told Mrs, Neff not to grieve, as I would never 08 1180 her the slightest sorrow, and sent her to bed a much happier woman than I had found her on my coming in. Next morning at the breakfast table Mr. Neff said something about polygamy. That was all the provocation I wanted, 'I said : Nell', if you wore:any kind of a mali fft 11,. or had oven the commonest human instincts, you'd let polygamy alone `; you have e wife who is too good foryou, and who loves you better than you doserve—stick to her and lot other women alone.' Then I told hint the condition in which I had found his wife on coming from the ball. His faro -grew white, and laying down his knife and fork he rose from the table and left the room. I went home that motuine,e and neither saw Mr. Neff or heard from him again. Ho never went inbo. polygamy, and I felt glad of th1iectW-1lcejr little women to whom a second wife by her husband's side would have meant a speedy death.", "There isn't anything of this kind going on now 1" si id I. "There isn't eh !"- the ;girl replied. "There's lot of it, but, like poly- gamy itself, its carried on very quietly. Orcourse, its against the law now for a man with one wife already to take another, but they tako them all the same; and there's many a wifo and mother out visit- ing to -day in Zion who, though it • be with bleeding heart, is,zealous- ly courting, , and coaxing some pretty young girl for her husband." Making Buttons Out of Blood. The country is trying, to utilize waste, Making buttonseof blood is in this direction. There is a largo factory iu Bridgeport, near Chicago, employing about 100 mon, boys and girls, in which waste animal blood is converted . into buttons. Tho. same firm has another large factory elsewhere. A man named Hirsch was the first to introduce the busi- ness in this country some years ago. He lost $16,000 the first six months, but stuck to it, and he is now , im• mensely wealthy. There are a num- ber of similitr factories in England. From 8,000 to 10,009 gallons of blood are used in Bridgeport factory every day. Nothing but fresh beef blood is used. Considerable of the blood evapor- ates during the process of drying, but what remains is puro albumen. Some of it is light in color, and some dark, according to the chemi- cal treatment given it. These thin sheets of blood aro then broken up, and aro ready to bo worked into various shape and sizes. Largo quantities of the blood sheets are used by cloth manufacturers for "setting" the color in calico goods. Not only aro buttons made from blood in this way, but tons of oar- iings, breastpins, bolt clasps, combs and trinkete are made annually there from blood. It is a queer, odoriferous bueiness, but it paying 0E10. 1040.9 0111401.0 RY vet,— 'fit aces eatictry.
