nnt to seo pretty things. Among tlio pret
tiest of them all is tlio new lino of spring
nnd summer capes. They aro short,
very full, lined with changing Bilks and
heruflled on tlio Hhoulders and around
tlio necks until you feel a little tired of
ruflles. however protty they aro, singly.
The.se are made in all sorts of material,
natin, velvet, hengaliue. clay diagonals,
kerseys, meltons, faille, cashmere, sorgo
and velutina. both plain and corded, and
all lined with tlio changeable silk. They
aro trimmed "variously." Homo having
rich jet. others laco and ribbons, others
again Having tlio nutterliy, empire or
Austrian effects obtained through tho
different styles of rulllo.
There has been quite a display of nov
elties in new woolens this week, and 1
noticed among tho most remarkable ot
them sumo hniumckhiirus in all the new
colors, even including eminence (tho car
dinal's purple), and home colored serges
and cashmeres, with rich inwoven Turk
ish borders. These are double width and
really beautiful. There was a fancy di
agonal in all the new colors, and in each
pattern the most of them wero inter
woven ho that the goods would Hhado olf
in different lights, something, 1 should
imagine, difficult to do with woolen
threads only. There are also changeable
fcorges, very pretty, but not durable if
they clmnco to get damp.
There aro several novelties in silk and
wool mixtures, which make lovely lus
trous dresses, and they will wash well
and wear well. There are some pearl
grays where the warp is silk and tho
woof wool in natural color, tho shade of
gray light or dark, according to tho
amount of black wool. These aro sim
ply everlasting and will wash liko calico
and look ns good as now as long as thero
is a thread. When these aro all black,
they mako tho most elegant black fabric
wo have, both for nico wear and for
mourning, two now styles of which aro
hero given.
There aro sonio new designs in natural
wool which aro soft and light and warm,
and they aro very useful for children
and also for nico wrappers. It is tinted
rather than colored, which makes it spe
cially dainty for babies and morning
wrappers.
There is a new hard twilled sorgo
which has a side band woven in different
colored silk. It is expected that tho side
bund will bo used to trim tho blurt, and

stuff is called hop sacking, and it is

other is liko burlaps, with borders in

Salt LakicCity. April (!. The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has
at last completed, and even as I write
this is joyously dedicating tho most re
markable structure, all things consid
ered, in tho United States. It has been
the subject of more ardent hopes and
trembling fears, of more confident and
more virulent prophecy, tho cause of
more wdd rejoicing as well as of heart
burnings and bitterness, than any other
American building, ami it stands to lay
a monument of sustained hope and per
severance which is truly Mihlimc. Kay,
if you will, that it is also a monument
of folly and fanaticism it is at least a
splendid and harmless one.
In 18.")$ Horace (ireeley spoke of poo
plo and temple with a philosophic con
tempt. In 1800 Richard l- Burton, the
noted Ar.iatic and African traveler, took
a slightly more favorable view, but de
clared that no Pacific railway would
bo built in this century. Hichardson,
Bowles nnd Colfax in lbli. thought tho
temple might bo finished in time to servo
as a statehouso for tho Gentile state,
soon to rise on tho ruins of Mormouisni.
In 1870 Beadle, tho frautio nnti-Mor-inon,
declared that tho temple would
never bo completed. Mrs. Waite, an
other radical writer, declared that the
Mormons would soon tleo to tho Sand
wich Islands. And so tho stream of
prophecy llowed on, but hero the temple
is, and 100,001) Mormons aro celebrat
ing it.
Leaving details of tliia week to tlio
talking wire. I present a fow points of
history which will servo to explain tlieso
proceedings. Sixty-threo years ago to
day, in tho house of Peter Whitmor, in
Fayette, Seneca county, N. Y., Joseph
Smith and vo others organized tho
"Church of Christ," as they called it.
Tho other words wero added to the title
at Kirtland, O.; but their now revelation
being designated tho "Book of Mormon,"
tho world gave them tho name of Mor
monites. Next year they founded Kirt
land, O., and located the sito of their
great tempi" to bo at Independence, Mo.
Thero all faithful saints (.Mormons) fond
ly believe is their last gathering place on
earth, and there they will have a temple
tar surpassing Solomon s.

The mobs soon came on I.fiOO Htrong,
bombarded Nauvoo for three days and
shot down many t)f its defenders, anil so
the remnant of the Mormons was driv

the pioneers to Salt Lake valley. About
midnight of Nov. tl-lll. ISH, a firo was
kindled in the steeple of this Nauvoo
temple by one Joe Agnew, a fanatical
anti-Mormon. At 'J a. in. of the If tt It
the citizens awakened to find tho whole
wooden interior a mass of tlames. At
daylight nothing remained but tho bare,
hot walls In November, 1S.")0, a hur
ricane completed tho work of destruc

epot. A lovely vineyard covers what
was tho temple block, and thostono is

HAt.AMANix, N. Y., April 0 Ancient
Indian traditions toll of a mighty race
who, stretching thnir possession) mainly
throughout what is now Pennsylvania,
Now York and Ohio, Initio defiance to all
who attempted to subdue them. Hut at
length the liidnmitnhlu Iroquois became
numbered among their foes, and after
terrific battles and long cnulllct the an
cient race, the Alligewi, wero hopelessly
conquered and driven from their homos.

INDIAN IKIMm.
TIii'sp Alligewi, so thero Is much ron
ton to believe, wero tho veritable mound
builders, and tho wonl "Alleghany" is
but a white man's corruption of their
name. But how Htrauge it is that along
tho banks of the Alleghany river tho do
scemlants of the greatest enemies of tho
mound builders still live!
In a reservation of some SI0.000 acres,
a Htrip of tenltory '10 miles long by
about one mile in width, varying some
what ns the width of the valley varies.
with tho broad and gentle Alleghany
Mowing throughout its length, live some
000 Indians, almost all of them being
Seuecas.
Tlio original meaning of their Indian
iiaino was, 'Mhey who aio at tho door
way," for tho ancient Iroquois, by a
splendid conception, pictured (heir mag
nificent realm as one great house, stretch
ing from tho Hudson, where the Mo
hawks guarded tho eastern poital. to the
groat lakes, where tho Senecas kept
watch at tho western door.
One who passes through tho dreary
Alleghany reservation, where tho fields
aro covered with countless stumps still
to bo uprooted, and where but little
farming is carried on, and that but in a
sadly inefficient manner, thinks of the
original meaning of tho Seneca name,
for truly these Indians aro still "at tho
doorway."
Tho reservation is hemmed in on either
hand by a line of dark and loftily abrupt
hills, and it is claimed that tho Indians
woro induced to accept such n narrow
strip by being made to believe that -10
square miles meant tho same as '10 miles
square.
Yet a generous government does not
forget them By treaty they have tho
right to the annual interest accruing
from the sum for which they sold their
former hinds, and each one on tho res
ervation receives, therefore, each year
what is supposed or claimed to bo tho
worth of if I. i!0 in gingham or sheeting
or some such material.
Tho reservation consists largely of river
water, ami through such part as is laud
tevcral inilroads have been allowed to
run their tracks, while mom than this,
one good flized city, Salamanca, is located
within tlio reservation, and several small
er towns as well.
Tho whites went in without any right,
and recognizing tho illegality of their
tenure put up frail, unsubstantial build
ings without foundations, ho that little
loss would ensuu should they bo com
pelled to remove.
But the government enmo to their ro
lief. Such deserving citizens ought not
to bo neglected. An act was passed in
187.t allowing them tho legal right to
lease lauds of tho Indians for quite a term
of years. It was known that tlio majority
of tho tribe would not refuse the small
amount of money offered, and tho In
dians wero therefore allowed to part
with tho right to largo poitiousof their
lauds, no regard whatever being had for
future generations of their race.
Tho Indians aro confronted by a serious
problem. Their own timber has been
chopped down and is therefore no longer
a source of revenue. They must either
obtain work in sawmill and lumber le
gions, as some of them already do, or
they must (arm, and how to cultivate
those rough and stumpy fields is a prob
lem. Tho iusidoof an Indian home is usually
a scene of careless disorder. Articles of
furniture and use stand about in all sorts
of positions, and the walls, if papered at
all, aro usually papered with newspapers
which moio than likely aro Happing and
loose.
Yet tho Indians, both men and women,
are pleasantly happy as a tide and do
not seem to dread the future.

rain in one of tin it- homes and were re-
