WVMMNOTO.V , Oct. 9. [ Special to Tun
JJKK. , 1 met the lion. John T. Ciilno , the
tcrrltorlnl delegate from Utnb , last night ,
and had a talk with him as to the condition
01 fie Mormon church. Ho says that Mormon -
mon nva novcr stronger than It Is today ,
nnd tli.it the church grows right along. Ylo
refora-d to President Woodruff's pronouncla-
"
monte against plural marriages , and tells mo
that polygamy Ii dead In the territory. IIo
Bays there huvo been no plural marriages to
pealtof for years , nud that the gentiles hnvo
always had nn Idea thnt there were moro
polypi mists than thcro really were. Slid ho :
"Thcro nro now l.'AOOO Mormons In Utah ,
and thcro have never boon moro than twenty-
flvo hundred or three thousand mon who have
moro than ono wife , This Is loss than 2 per
cent oT the nnlo population of Utah. The
majority of the polyg.itnlsts had only ono
cxtia wlfo , nnd It was only In exceptional
cases that they married moro thnn three.
CThojouiig men among the Mormons have not
gene Into polygamy. They nro the leading
power In the territory today , and they are , to
, wa lir-o e-ctcnt , running the church. The
Mormon church at their state convention In
JJ-bST when they adopted a constitution nnd
( talced for admission Into the union piised a
resolution prohibiting polygamy , and the doc-
trlnohasnot , heon taught In the church , slnco
then. It was the joung men who brought
about this change. The loadorsof thochurch
nnd the older mon accepted the situation , and
from no won every Mormon will have but ono
Wife. "
'Does the church still believe In polyg
amy ! " I asked.
"Tho people tuny believe In It , but they be-
Ilevo In obeying the laws of tholr country ,
and as tluno laws are against U they will not
practice It. Many of tho.Mormons went Into
polygamy against tholr own wishes , J3rig-
1mm Young once told mo that the greatest
trial of hlj lifo was the niloptlon of this piln-
clplc , and thnt It waj only because ho thought
it was hit duty that ho too- ! : moro than ono
wife. IIo said this to mo at the theater ono
night , and I have no doubt of tils sincerity.
IIo
coxsinnjtir : > IT A cr.ow ,
hut lie believed that polygamy came from God
and ho accepted It. IIo was neb a sensual
man. Ills lifo was full of activity , and it
ivosso made up of outside inittow that ho
had no time to give to sensuality. I knew
him well , and I ara sure th.xt his passions had
nothing to do with the number of hlswlvcs. "
"What kind of n man was Urigham
"XToutigr'I ' aslccd.
j . / "IIo was a great mrm , " replied Delegate
Calnc. 'Tho ' work oC Moses leading the
children of Israel throuih the wilderness
wns nothing to his taking the band of Iilor-
mons over the untrodden wilderness of the
great America i cbsert , and of settling them
In the licirt of It. Moses traveled but a few-
hundred miles. Urighain's band traversed
thousands. IttooltUrlgham Young loss than
fa , year to lind his land of Canaan , while Moics
wandered around for fully forty , llrigham
Young \\ill have a great place In history , imd
the day will como when all Americans will
bo proud of him. "
' Ulvoino u description of his character , "
Bald I.
"UriRliam Young , " replied Delegate Calno ,
"was un all around gro\t man. lie had an
evenly balanced mind nnd a wonder
ful executive ability. IIowas able
to decide upon anything that came up
4Jio moment It wns presented to him , and hu
always grasped thluga in their details ns well
nsawliolo. Ho had n. wonderful nmount of
practlc.il knowledge and ho built the teraplo
in Halt I.uko City that cost a million dollars
nnd more. Howas a very Iiidtistilous man ,
nnd ho went to bed early , rose at day-break ,
ntoplnlnly nnd dressed simply. Hlssoulwas
vrappcd up In the Mormon church , and ho
cared more for its Interests than ho did for
Ills own.
"Still he died rich , " said I.
"Yes , he loft a grc.it deal of money , and
each of his children got ? 10,000 , although ho
had il fly. His wives wore all provided for
out of hU fortune , and the cstato was so loft
that it vtas in the hands of trustees , so that
all were fairly treated. IIo made the most of
"hU fortune out of the Union Pacific railroad ,
lie built 100 miles of this rend , and ono of his
sons was oao of the masters of construction
for the Union Pacific. I don't think that
Jhighnm Young cared anything for money as
money. IIo valued it only as it enabled
him to
CllMlTOUT Tin PLAN'S.
IIo wasa very valuable ndviserjto the church ,
nnd it N largely duo to him that our people
nro in so prosperous a condition as they are
today.
"Does the Mormon church own much prop
er ! v I" I asked.
'Mo , " replied Delegate Calno , "Itdoea not.
The United States congress passed an net
taking our property from us , or rather steal
ing it. It was nothing moro than a steal ,
nnd there nro other churches In Utah today
ttho o\vn \ moro property than the Mormons.
"When Si > caker Reed was in Utah , a year or
co ago , ho said to mo in that drawling tone of
Ills , 'Tho Oontlles conplnln thnt you Mor
mons won't sell any of your property. " I
showed him thsstnlargo proportion of Salt
lijku City was owned by the Gentiles , the
Jtvvs , and"others , and oskod him how this
i-Mld Iw if the Mormons would not soil. "
"Do you people hold their tltlo in fee sim
ple , or docs the greater part of tlio property
In the territory belong directly or Indirectly
tothochurcul"
"In fee simple , of course , " replied Mr.
Calno. "Tho church has nothing to sny n * to
what I shall dowith tny house , or my farm
any moro than tliol'resbyterlan or Methodist
church has to say m to the property of Its
IDPIUUTS. I suwposo thcro Is no part of the
United States where so manv people own
their own homes as In Utah. Nine-tenths of
the Mormon ? own tholr own homesteads nnd
thu census of mortgages will show a smaller
number among them than union B any other
elnss of people in the United States.Yhon
llrlgliaiii "VouiiK begon to build up the terri
tory lie urged the new-comers
XOTIO HE\T uousns ,
mul advised them to huy or enter a plcoo of
land and put ap a house on It. "
" 'If you can't ' put up a house , " said ho ,
'put up shanty. If you can't put up n
shanty , build n dugout , and In the meantime
llvo In a tout. ' The i > copei ! followed his ad-
vlco , and the result 1s they uro well-to-do.
As to soiling their property , the Mormons
nro peed business men , at. least as mui'h as
the average member of other churches. They
know the value of their property. They do
not wed to sell , and they only do so wheii
uio > get their price. "
"Does not the church cat up n givat part of
the substance of the iiconlal' ' ' ! naked.
'No mow than other churches , " was tbo
reply. "AVo believe In giving ono-t nlh of
our imxmiQ to the church , and woboliovo in
Buppmtiuftour churcliourselvoi. Vounover
pv't a rollecllon pl.ito shoved under your nose
when you go toIKten to a Mormon sermon.

The driving of the .Tows f win Europe w.is
the subject of conversation nmong a party of
statesmen the ether nl ht. A.monj them
w.is Governor Cuitln , wlio was for n long
tlino our minister nt St. Petersburg , and
who probably knons ns much as to the coa-
dltionof Russin as any man In the country.
Said he : "Tho Ktiislaii Jews are not to bo com
pared with Isralites of America. They are 113
different ns though they cama from different
races. The Hussfati Jews are the most igno
rant , grasping ami unscrupulous people I
have c\er known. They have the accumu
lative propensities o f their race , and they own
nearly all of the property In Poland. U'hoy
are not good citizens , and I do not wonder
that the czar wniits to get rid of them. By the
" continued Governor Cuitin "havo
way , , you
noticed that the Jews have changed their
whole policy as to their Investments within
the last few jearsl They nro uow buying a
great deal of real estate. They own millions
of dollars worth of property In Isew York ,
and they nro rapidly acquiring land through
out the United States. They sco that land
moans power , and It is an evidence of the
prosperity of the country that they are anx
ious to put their money into land. "
1 had a queer chat last night with a Wash
ington barber. I was having my hair cut
when ho told mo of some of. his experiences
with public men. Snld ho : "I worlceci hst
jear at tbo Xormaudio hotel , where BUino
and his family were stopping , and I had to
frequently cut the silvery locks of the secre
tary of state Blaine had his hair cut about
every two weelcs. IIo don' tcaro very much
as to its loom himself , but his family watch
to see that every hair u laid even. I cut his
hair in his own rooms , and as the scissors
snipped away Mrs. lllaino and James G.
Blame , Jr. , stood bv and gave directions.
Itlnineliinuclf paid little attention to the Job ,
and I had logo over it again and aeuln. Ho
did not talk.it ull and ho Is far different from
some other men 1 huvo dealt with. Now ,
there Is old man Bancroft. I have cut his
hair many a time. IIo likes his hair long and
ho talks while It Is being trimmed , I kept
Vice-President Ilendricks in order when ho
was allvo , shaved him uvery morning and cut
his hair once a month. I have cut Joe Mc
Donald's hilr , but ho Is not very partiular. I
BIIA.VED ABE LIXCOLX
when ho came here to 1)3 Inaugurated. He
was a very pleasant talking man , and I remember -
member that ho had a big bottle of v.'hUky
and some glasses on n tray \\hcti I went into
his room. I used to shave Audi-ew Jobnsoii
sometimes , too ; and ono of tbo queerest fel
lows I ever barbered was old Sam Houston.
Houston always shaved himself. IIo was too
nervous to allow any ono else to put a razor
to his face. I remeuiber I once came i\ltutn
an uco of clipping his car and bo hopped
from the chair , grabbed mo bv the h.inO , and
I thought ho was poiiig to kill mo. Then ho
quieted down nnd naked mo to bo more care
ful , and took his seat again In the chair. Vou
bet 1 was careful , too , for Houston was not a
man to trifle with. Ho was ono of the queer
est dressed inciijou oversaw. Ills coat was
one of these steel pen affairs with brass but
tons ; ho had on a naming red walstco.it , red
vest , ono of the old-fashioned high-stock
nccl'tles nnd buff pants. IIo worn a hat as
big as nri umbrella , nndln tno winter he were
a fancy Indian UanUot instead of an overcoat.
IIo had a good head of hair , which I attrib
uted largely to his out-of-door life.
"YeV continued the barber , aaho snipped
nwaynt inyhuir , "I have shingled the head
of many a great man , But do you Know
the biggest men of the country are
losing their hair , and I believe the
day will como when all brainy men will bo
bald. Spoiled' Heed hasn't even fuzz on the
top of his head. The skin is as bald ns mi )
bab.v's cheek and it shines in though it was
pre-ased. I once cut the twenty odd locks
which run around Edmunds' bare drum-head.
You have never seen anything so pretty as
his skin. It is as tender und as clear as that
of tlio llnest falrcomplexioned cirl you have
overseen and it looks as though the blood
would spurt through Itif you touched it with
a pin. Ho never lets any oil be put upon his
hair , but ho Hues to Invo his scalp polished
with cologne. Uieckcnrldgoof Kentucky has
one of the linest heads of hiir I have over
seen , and ho is a mighty nice man , too. Ho
gives mo a qtmrtcr every time I barber him ,
and ho talks all the time bo is being
trimmed. "
Ono of the beat story-tellers in congress Is
Senator Sanders of Montana. The subjects
of duels came up last night , and ho told a
numocr of yarns about atTr.ns of the Mon
tana mining regions. In ono of the duels
which ho described the parties fought with
revolvers In n trench four feet wldo and six
foot deep. This trench was Just thirty feet
long , and the duelists stood at cither oudof it
and ilred at each other until
ONE OF THEM IMlOPl'fiD ,
"Ono of the most remarkable characters of
the Montana mining regions , " said Senator
Sanders , "was a flddlernained ICellcy. Ilowas
n good-for-nothing r.iscal , buthocould llddlo
better than anyone cho In the territory , and
was very popular on that account. Ono night
Kelley got Into a fuss with an. Englishman
named Spearo nud ho challenged him to fight
a duel. Spenro accented. The affair took
place nt lUngtown , but the caran was In a
narrow gulch and they could not und a place
level enough for the duel , The terms nnd
weapons were decided UIKIH and then they
mnrcUed la procession up the ravine for
about llvo miles , before they could find n
level spot. The weapons WTO revolvers , and
the underbtaa ding was that the mon \vero to
lire at ono another until ono or the other
dropped. At the first flro neither was hit !
It w.is the same nt tbo second shot , and at
the third Spouro's gun failed M gooff. There

A \voll-known medical journal is rcc-
omtneiidlny the Uoln nut us n subblltuto
for tea und colloe , says the Cincinnati
Times-Star. The nut , Ills said , contains
lltllo tannin mul notmucli moro calTelne.
It is clnlmed that it will soon take the
place of tea and collco entirely.
U. G. Lloyd , the botnmst , has made a
special study of this nut , and upon this
point slid to n , reporter : "It is u mis
take to bivy that the nut will take tlio
place of tea or collce. It has nn astring
ent taste that is unpleasant , and I do not
believe that itrill over be uied
slvoly or at all , In chllizod countries.
The lioh uut Is a native of the coast * .
ol Africa , Init has been Introduced
lute nnd thrives well in the West
Indies nnil liiiuil. It grows upon : v tree
forty foot high , which produced pale yel
low llowers spotted with purple. The
'
leaves ot the tree nro six to'olght Inches
long and are pointed at both. ends. The
fruit consists of llvo long , slender pods ,
radiating from a common center. Ono of
these , when broken open , is found to
contain several nuts , fcomownat similar
to ha zeltmts nnd of about the same tlxe.
The nuts are solid , being slightly softer
toward the center than on the outside.
"Thenativoof tlio countries whore the
nuts grow use them for various purposes.
They pass for money in Africa. They
me also used ns symbols of friendship
nnd hate , tlio light-colored one signifying
the former and the dark the latter.
They are supposed to aid digestion , and
It is the practice to chow a small bit before -
fore eating a meal. They allay thirst ,
and if ,1 picco be chewed nnd held in the
mouth while drinking1 the moat bitter
nnd stagnant water can bo taken and will
taste sweet and agreeable. I doubt this
quality of rendering stagnant water pure
is po&scssed by the nuts. I rather think
that the astringent taste of the nut
paralyzes the gustatory nerves momen
tarily , and for that reason the water is
not tastod.
"Hunger they nro also supposed to
allay , but they do more than paralyze
the nerves. They have a stimulating
effect , nnd when going on long marches
the natives chew bits of nuts continually
nnd with about the sarno effect sis if in
toxicating liquor hud boon used , though
without the sumo bad results. Powder
ed kola nut is sprinkled in cuts and
wounds and has a heeling effect.
"A chemical analysis of the nuts
shows them to contain twenty parts of
calTelne , and but a fraction of a part of
tannin. No , Itwill now bo used in the
place of tea and coli'ce. Its tastp and
chemical properties avougainst it.1

"Curious notions soitio of these phi-
lanthropical people 'havo who want
young Indians sent tocpllcgo , educated ,
nnd then returned to their tribes to help
civilize thorn ! "
It w.is John Selaud of Helena , Mont. ,
who said this to n reporter of the Now
York Stai-iis ho sat in the Fifth Avenue
hotel.
"I have lived , " said he , ' 'more than
thirty years on the far western frontier ,
and my opinion on the Indian question is
worth something. I toll you that once
an Indian , always an Indian ; for thcro is
something In the easy , careless , Irre
sponsible lifo they lead that holds them
proof against any line of civilisation.
Tholr chief occupation is their
own adornment , and their days are
a succession of talks , smokes ,
sloops , feasts , dances , funerals , wed
dings , and all woven into n novor-ciuliiig
warp of pokur , vita an occasional dash
of horse race. Kducato them ? You
can't do it. I was told something the
other day which will do at. a proof of tlio
truth of what I say. Oa the Oaago In
dian reservation thcro are about fifteen
handled Indians , and , among them&omo
lifty graduate.lx > ytj and girls of the
Carlisle university. It Mould grieve
these excellent educators who have
charge of the seminary if they should
Dorchanco visit the Oaago agency at PU.U-
husks and review their former scholar. * .
The last ono of thorn isin hisbrceehclout
and blanket , and avoids Ihigli.-h as a
language as if every word \uibaiattle-
biiakc. There is not ono left to tell you
the tale of their sojourn at Carlisle , for
not ono of them will speak English.
The fact ib as shown by oven a casual
look the education of the full-blood
Indian is an exasperating failure. It
will over fail , as will nil attempts by ono
race to ranko its civilization fit another
and a different ono. "

Ono of the most curious relics preser
ved in the Ashmolean Musouin , at Ox
ford , England , is a crown having n frame
work said to have been made of the nails
that wevo driven through the hands nnd
feet of Jesus at Calvary , says the bt.
Louis Republican. The crown It elf is
embossed with jewels nud gold , exhibi
ting a close resemblance to the cnnm-
oiled work of the present day , notwith
standing the fact that Its history can bo
traced back to the time of the coron
ation of Agilullus , King of Normandy ,
In the year 001. As noted In the forego
ing , the portion of the crown which is of
greatest traditional interest Is thofr.imo
work of iron , of an inch broad and 1-10
of an Inch in thickness , attached to the
Inner circumference of tlio jewelled su
perstructure. Tills iron band was inado
from the identical nails , iiccoidlng to
legendary report , used at thoerueifixion ;
given by Kinpress Helena who , history
says , was the discoverer of the cross to
her son , Constantine tliu Great , as a mi ]
raculous protection from the dangers ot
the battle-field.
The priest who exhibits tlio crown to
curious visitors points oUt , as a perma
nent miracle , the fact that there is not
a single speck of rust upon the iron ,
although it has now boqn exposed to the
dampness of the atraoaphoro for moro
than fifteen centuries. The crown was
originally made for Agilulfus , king of
the Lombards , under the supervision of
Thendolinde , his v.-lle , who had fallen
heir to the sa 'red n UN.
