VI "SMl THE WASHINGTON TUESDAY, APRH, 4,1905. 11 MORMONS RECRUITING Organized Campaign Is to Be Vigorously Pushed. MISSIONARIES GO IS PAIRS Careful to State that Mormonism Has Eschewed Poljngamy--Converts Sought Among Middle Classes and Homeseek- ers with Small Means--Woman and Two Daughters Wives of Same Man. tipeoll Correspondence of Tbe Wssblncton Post. Lincoln, Nebr March the hard blows aimed at Mor- rrionism in the Reed Stmoot hearing at "Washington, the militant missionary branch of that church Is preparing for a vigorous oamomign for recruits.

In each of the Western States it headquarters Orders have reached her to push the work of as nevor before. Last year more than 6,000 missionaries were employed in this work, and this year the total number assigned will not be less than 7,000 Most of these recruits are young men, report to elders, men grown gray In the service of the church. These missionaries bring to the work zeal and earnestness mean many converts In the course of the year. The perfection of organization o.f the church Is Illustrated by the methods employed in proselyting. At Salt Lake City and two other points are maintained In which the work of personal evangelization is taught.

The brightest and best talkers among the younger Monmons are selected for this work. They are especially drilled In the tenets of the faith ar3 are made thoroughly familiar with the BiJble and the application of Its passages to Mormonism. Before they are sent forth they receive a thorough test and examination. Methods of Recruiting. The church organization Is extended over any part of the country where Mormonism is planted the people In Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa Its progress has been curtailed because most ot the converts made In these States are urged to emigrate fro the Northwest, where the necessities at the church call for roeedy multiplication of power.

This sertion, as well is the Statesj of tho Middle Weot, is still counted as within the missionary fleld, and here different tactics are pursued, although the basis of the plan is the saana. A campaign is carefully planned from headquarters. Men have previously been sent Into various parts of a. State to out profitable territory If the investigations disclose a Hainan Catholic community or one peopled by BJuropeans with equally tenacious ideas about religion, Mttle time Is spent. The most favored sections are those where Norwegians, English, Germans, Swedes, and emigrants from BJastern States predominate.

It was early discovered that the emigration to these sections was largely from that class of people which, found Its means too small in the settled sections to purchase land at prevailing prices--the homeseekers wlth small means, in other words. "When a section is favorably reported upon missionaries are sent there. There Is a perfect division of territory, so that no effort is wasted The missionaries generally travel by twos. Bach la garbed In black and carries a Bible in hand or coat pocket. They go up to a house, knock, and when they gain the attention of the occupants, proceed to push their work all fhe pertinacity of the veteran book agent Of they receive the slightest encouragement they coma again and again.

Preach Against Polygamy. They are under Instructions to pick out thrifty, prosperous, and Industrious citizens of the middle class, and where nos- slble these receive substantial inducements to join the colonies in the Northwestern States These missionaries are careful to state that Mormonism has eschewed the doctrine of polygamy, and not only do not teach it but teach ag-alnst it The younger Mormons, as a matter of fact, are opposed to polygamy It has long been recognized as an unnatural condition In a civilized country, and education Is making- it more repugnant to the younger of both sexes. Many of them refuse to countenance It In any way. This is due to contact with the Gentile and the realization that one's birth Is not regarded as exactly regular The organization is so compact that It Is possible for It to act quickly, and the mall and telegraph are freely- used to transmit edicts. Within two days a President Smith has formu'lated onp.

It in tt-e a -of every Mormon Church officer i i a. radius of 1000 miles. Disc i i is r'arorously maintained and disobedience has meet with such prompt i that it is rare nc-wadays. Jt is asserted that Mormonism is growing more rapidly than anv other church In the world and all credit is laid to thr thorough organization for evangelization. Recruits are coming from all parts of the globe, and the general policy of the otmrch tn i-r-.

cc i adjoining states Is still being followed. the of Salt Lake City Is oast bv Mormon i and in the remainder of the State-the church 80 per cent, of the total. In Idaho nearly a third of the voters are Mormons, and this fact has given the leaders there Immense power, since by thro-alng It one way or the other political control Is flied. There is no fanatical political feeling among Mormons and they re-adlly obey the order of the church, which has many eminent politicians on Its official roll. Dealing with Jealous Wives.

The Mormons have a unlaue way of suppressing jeailous and quarreling wives. When one starts trouble in the household the husba.ifl reports the matter to the teacher who is the ruler of the district. He calls at once upon her. informs her a she must be a good and obedient because no woman can enter the presence of God except through her husband This Is one of Mormonlsm's strongest tenets. It not only makes old maids scarce in Utah, but keeps divorce at a minimum, since women there, as elsewhere, are the strongest believers in the religion.

The Washington (Kan.) Republican printed the other week a letter from a former editor, L. A- Palmer, who la selling; Dooks In Utah He has been able, by icison of his business, to see the domestic side of Mormon life, and he says there are many plural wives. He gives this peculiar instance. "One case that came under my attention is uTiirjue I called at a home in a residential part of the city and met a cultured English lady whose husband Is one historians. This lady i friends and asked me to call the next day I did so and the mother of the met me at the door and said that her elder daughter was out, but that the younger daughter was In the parlor and to see me.

"I soon learned that this younger daughter husband was one of the historians and that he was in Europe on a missionary tour, getting recruits for tne Mormon church. These cultured English women had the same name their husbands were church historians in Uuroce This awakened my suspicions "Upon investigation I discovered that both women, s'sters, were wives of the same mart a more than that, the motner of two wives was the man's fl'-st i All three women, mother and two daughters, i In the same house, and all had children by this man."

Tork World: The London girl Trttb ten personslltles nrns rather betlnfl the feminine average In changea ot miud.

Lsdr Carlisle at once time Instituted a custom at Naworth Castle which recalls 'the Admirable Crlchton. She had all the servants to dine with the family In the great hall, ao was the custom In the olden days. Thte, howeveif, soon fell Into abeyance, ss It did not Increase) the comfort either side. Cleveland World: Any woman who Is perfectly healthy, persistently cheerful, sanely nelf-confl- deat, and endurlnglr feminine will possess plenty ot magnetism. Add to these a little beanty, a dash of cleverness, ana a knowledge of how to dreas.

and she will ba Irresistible. At any rate, the cultivation of magnetism Is a great deal more worth while than the cultivation of a complexion. Boston Globe Paraguay would seem to present the smallest chance for woman's rights progress to be found on the earth. In that country there are seven women to one man. Consequently, the men are petted and taken the greatest care ot.

Everything that unpleasant or risky Is done by the women. The streeOTare cleaned, ships loaded, and the oxen drlvefl by them, and ttey even go to war as substitutes for the men. It la only an application of the law of supply and demand, and some lazy men will probably think It a beneficent one. Chicago Post: A tremendous majority vote of women has decreed that Mrs. Cralgie Is wholly wrong In her contention that woman IB unfair by nature and therefore mentally Incapable of Jury service.

We do not go so far as to Bay that Mrs. Cralgle believes that woman IB not mentally capable of voting for trustee of the Illinois State University, but we presume that she would require a little time for deliberation before passing on that yltal question The more we hear some distinguished women discuss true womanhood the more we are bewildered and cast down. The capricious beauty who la convinced that diamond tlarras and steam yachts are requisite to a contented mind Is now adding the new "flower petticoat" to this list of necessities, for It Is beautiful and expensive enough to captivate fcer fancy So far as making and material are concerned It does not vary mnch from any other skirt adapted to "evening -wear, for It Is made of white silk, embroidered with roses or violets and festooned with flounces of real lace. Tho unusual feature about it, however. Is that tnere are ribbons attached to the upper flounces which are designed to hold bunches of natural flowers every time the skirt Is worn.

Th.ua this dainty affair is able to radiate a fragrance so sweet and subtle that as yet the most skilled perfumer has been unable to Imitate It. New Tork Press: When Mrs. Perry Belmont Whirled down Fifth avenue In her new automobile she attracted general attention because of the bold Innovation she has made In fashionable attire In the Lenten season. Indeed, it seemed as If she were trying, In one way at least, to force an Easter novelty three weeks ahead of time. It wasn't her costume at all.

but her wonderful veil, that caught the eye and lancy of hundreds of passersby. The veil was of heavy black chiffon, and Its ends, which floated far behind, were painted with a design that harmonised with the trimming on the hat Long veils, by the way--which have waved triumphantly for several seasons--are correct only for carriage and automobile wear, for the pendulum of fashion has. at last swung toward the short, dotted, spotted, flimsy affairs that are ao becoming.

At the start, weakness characterized trading in the wheat pit, initial quotations on July being down to He. at 87 to The preponderance 01 early news was bearish. Prices al Liverpool were to Hd. lower, chiefly because world's shipments were larger than expected, and because of a let-up in European spot demand. The foreign market was partly infiuenced by continued favorable crop conditions ia the Amer'can wheat belt.

Another fac tor that worked well in the hands of local bears was the report of large rt wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth, arrivals to-day at the two points being 509 cars, against 398 cars toe corresponding day In 1904. Prediction had been made that tha first receipts In April would show a material decrease from those of a year ago Influenced by the large movement ot these two grain centers, longs oifred to sell quite liberally both here and at the Northwestern markets. The principal bearish factor, however, was continued fine growing weather in the Went anrl Southwest Sentiment changed suddenly on an official prediction of colder weather throughout the West, with freezing temperature in Kansas and Nebraska, Active covering by shorts caused a quick advance July selling up to Some damage reports telegraphed from Western Kansas helped to encourage buyers. The morkM held ftnn the remainder of the session. July closing at of wheat and flour were equal to 91-000 bushels.

The amount, on passage decreased 1,644 000 bushels, and the visible supply decreased 490,000 bushels Primary receipts were 706,800 bushels, compared with 676000 a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth, and Chicago reported receipts of 54O cars, against 548 cars last week, and 413 cars a year ago. Considering the number of bearish influences thtt affected the situation, a comparatively firm tone prevailed In the coni market Early In the day the market was rather weak. Influenced by a material increase In world's shipments and by liberal local receipts. Weakness of wheat also had a depressing effect.

Shorts covered freely on predictions of colder weather, and the market soon Became firm. July opened tn lower, at 4: to sold up to and closed at Local receipts were SCO with IS con of contract grade. Trading In oats fairly active. Fallowing- an easy opening, due to weakness of other grains, the market showed considerable firmness. Eievatir Interests and shorts were the best buyers.

July opened a shade lower, at to sold up to and oiosefl at Local receipts were 198 cars. More Interest was manifested in provisions than has been In evidence for some time past. On active support from packers, the market became de- cldtdly strong, sftor on easier opening, resulting from a decline tot price of live hogs. At the close July pork was up 25c, at 12 9714. Lard was up at 7.SS; 25c b'gher, at 7 25 Estimated recttpla foe to-morrow: Wheat, 16 cars; earn, 641 cars; oats, cars; 26,090 head.
