LAMONI, Id.. April ".-(Special )-The
Reorganised Church of letter Day Saints.
Which It holding its world's ronferenre In
this city, Is In ro way connected or affili
ated wllh the Ttsh people who have been
brought o prominently before the public
by the Investigation of the senate com
mittee cn the seating of Reed Smoot In
confess.
Time was when the general public knew
no distinction and all people who called
themselves Latter Pay Faints were ternvd
Mormons, and all thought to be polyg
amlsts. However, the life-long fight made
by Joseph Smith, leader of the reorganiza
tion, and his faithful supporters Is bear
ing fruit In the better understanding which
Is being had concerning their position and
the severity with which they denounce all
the evil practices of the "Brlghamltes,"
they call the Mormons of 1'tnh.
Come from One Stock.
The two denominations had a common
origin, vlx.: The church established In
1880 by Joseph Smith, who claimed to act
by Inspiration and under the direction of
Ood.
This church wes bitterly persecuted and
Its leaders were arrested from time to
time upon various pretexts, and It was
while In Jail at Carthage, III., and under
the protection of county and state offi
cers that Joseph Smith and his brother,
Hyrum, were killed by a mob of masked
men. In June, 1844.
After this horror members of the church
were thrown Into confusion and disorder,
being left without a leader In the midst
of their enemies. It was then that Brlg
ham Young stepped to the front, assumed
the leadership and led the people to the
seclusion of the western hills, building a
city In the basin of the Salt lake region,
far away for civilization and Inter
ference. Here he Introduced the doctrine
of polygamy, claiming that a plurality of
wlvea was a divine command, that it had
been so revealed to Joseph Smith and by
him committed to a few chosen friends
prior to hit death.
This claim the reorganization, or "Jo
sephltes," have zealously contested, and
the Brtghamites have never been able to
substantiate by unimpeachable evidence.
Joseph's Two Itesolves.
Emma Smith, the wodow of the prophet,
was ardently urged to go westward with
the departing saints, but she steadfastly
refused and carefully brought up her three
young sons In the true faith of their mur
dered father. As Joseph, the eldest, grew
to manhood he made two great resolves.
The first waa that he would live In such a
way that none, from his actions, would
judge his father to have been a bad man.
The other was to make the religion for
which his father died honorable In the eyes
of men.
It Is indeed Interesting to hear this sil
ver haired, genial old gentleman tell thus
of his early struggles, and the bitter trials
he has had In the effort. to work out this
last resolve.
Now la Shown Respect.
"Time has been." he said, "when I have
seen men cross the street rather than meet
or pass me on the walk. But things are
different now. I have no complaint to
make of treatment by the1' world. Wherever
our church Is recognized on understood to
be different from the Institution of the
western plains, we are treated with the
tame respect and courtesy shown to other
. religious denominations."
It was some dozen or more years after
the death of the seer that a number of
the. elders and members of . the church
who had retained their Integrity and re
mained faithful to the principles laid down
by their leader, gathered together and held
services at some of which they were prom
ised that the Lord would raise up a leader
for them. And thus when In 1800 Emma
Smith and her eldest son, then a young
man of 28, came to their conference, they
hailed him as their president, to which of
fice he was ordained and a reorganization
was effected, and the warfare rcgun In
earnest. There men, few In number, had
much to contend with. Not only the pocul
lnrity of their faith and claims- made It
unusual In the eyes of the public, but the
stigma which attached to the main body
of the church was also reflected upon them
because of general misapprehension.
Church Ma Wen Great Growth.
But today the distinction Is more unl
vcrsally made and the church has grown
In every way, having Its missionaries and
evangellfts In every quarter of the globe
and having a membership of over DO.00O,
while forty years ago the reorganization
owned not a stick or tne or fo it of
ground, today its houses of worship dot the
entire country from Maine to California,
from Canada to the gulf, in foreign lands
and the islands of the sea.
Here in Lamoni Is Qraceland college, a
beautiful structure of stone and brick.
erected by the church a few years ago for
the higher education of its youth. It stands
on a beautiful campusv in the midst of i
high tract of land Just east of the town
On the other side of town Is another large
and imposing building called the "Saints'
Home." It Is dedicated to the rare of the
aged, helpless poor of the church. Its ca
pacity Is taxed constantly to Ita extreme
limit, being filled with a great family cf
aged of both sexes. This beautiful home

Near the business center of the city Is
located the largest publishing plant In
southern Iowa. It is the property of the
church and from it are sent out weekly

phlets.
Talk of Going; to Missouri.
There hns been some talk of moving this
publishing plant and the headquarters of
the church to Independence, Mo., which is
to be the'Zion of this peculiar denomina
tion. There they expect to erect a magnifi
cent temple prior to the second coming of
Christ, which they believe to be quite
near. Whether this contemplated change
will be ordered by action of the general
assembly of the church at this time cannot
be known until the business of the present
sessions has further advanced.
The homes of the prophet, his eon and
counsellor, Frederick; the presiding bishop,
E. L. Kc-lley; the presiding patriarch, Alex
ander H. Smith, and those of many of the
twelve apostles, as well as other leading
men of the. church, are located here, and
should such a move be ordered quite an
exodus from this place is expected to
ensue. This spot will not be abandoned by
the Saints, however, as it Is one of the es
tablished "stakes" of the church, and, with
the college and Old Folks' home located
here, will always be In a flourishing condi
tion. Frederick M. Smith In Line.
Frederick M. Smith, who Is expected to
succeed his father as president, prophet and
leader of the church, is a young man 31
years of age. He Is large und strong, hav
ing the build of an athlete. He has much
force of character and in his presldlngs
over the large conference assemblies Is
quick and positive In his rulings, alert, keen
and watchful. He is well educated and fond
of books and study. He traveled quite ex
tensively the past year In the extreme east
and won for himself much affection from
those of his faith anil much respect from
outsiders, both for himself and the church
he represents.
The prophet himself Is kindness personi
fied. Having suffered much through mis
understanding, he has learned to be very
charitable to others. For this very charity
he has sometimes been criticized by some
who would desire more Justice than mercy
with wrongdoers. But. one and all, they
honor and esteem him. Those of other
faith among whom he has lived speak only
In the highest terms of him a friend,
neighbor and citizen. He is intensely pa
triotic, being loyal In an extreme measure
to th.) country, and desires nothing better
of hlii followers than to be good citizens of
the place In which they live.

that "he who keeps the law of Ood has no
need to break the law of the land." This
was expressed In one of the revelations
given to Joseph Smith, and Is a strong
argument In the hands of the reorganiza
tion against the polygamous Mormons of
Utah.
Much excitement prevailed among the
membership of this church when the Reed
Bmoot case was proceeding. Some of the
local churches drew up protests, some ap
pealed to the heads of the church that thoy
should go to Washington and "set things
straight." Especially were they Indignant
when certain newspapers came out with
pictures of their leader, representing him
to be the Joseph F. Smith who is at the
head of the Brlghamlte faction.
Put the leaders here quietly bide their
time, believing, as they do, that all In
vestigation will but vindicate their own
claims and show forth the evil and dark
ness of what they claim to be the apostate
church In the Salt lake valley. They seek,
and have always sought, only the "square
deal" which President Roosevelt Is so fond
of seeing given to every man, believing
that they will but gain by every honest Investigation.
POPE CLAIMS WIDE POWER
Instructs Catholics of Italy to Submit
rolltlral Aellon to Bishops'
Orders.
ROME, April 9. (Special Cablegram to
The Dee.) The present pope takes a very
active Interest in politics, all reports to
the contrary notwithstanding. Some time
ago a remarkable circular Issued by Cardi
nal Merry del Val, on behalf of the pope,
to the Italian bishops, for the purpose of
suppressing the Christian democratic move
ment In Italy. This circular dissolved the
greater part of the organization called the
"Opera del CongressI Cattollcl," and re
quired, among other things, that the Catho
lic laity should, in political affairs, submit
themselves to the absolute control of the
bishop, who, subject to the Judgment of
the holy see, was to be "the sole and
competent Judge in all matters." Large
numbers or the Christian democrats re
fused to obey these instructions, secefled
from the "Opera del CongresBi" and formed
Independent organizations free from cleri
cal control. In spite of episcopal con
demnations, these seceders havo held their
own. and they are now about to hold a
congress at Bologna. Their courage and
independence have led the pope himself
to address an autograph letter to Cardinal
Svampa, archbishop of Bologna, in which
he explicitly condemns the Christian demo
cratic organization, gives his personal au
thority to the terms of Cardinal Merry del
Val's circular and protests against state
ments that that circular did not express
his own mind, and repeats with emphasis
that there can be no public action by
Catholics otherwise than In immediate de-.
pendence on the bishop. This letter was
published in the Osservatore Romano and
In the Gtornale D'ltalia. Tho pope de
nounces as "rebels against the authority
of the church" the Independent Christian
democrats, "who show what they are by
the fact that they defy ail discipline In
their desire for a misunderstood liberty
and aspire to dangerous novelties which
the church cannot approve." His holiness
laments that "so many poor young men"
have been led astray by those "who do
not scruple to conduct them along a path
that leads to ruin." He deplores the fact
that Catholic papers have criticised bishops
that "Justly condemned the independent
democrats." He condemns the proposed
congress ot Bologna, forbids Catholics to
take part In It and threatens with canoni
cal penalties any priest that may do so.
And most Important and significant of all
he expressly repudiates the contention
that the sphere of ecclesiastical authority
is limited to matters concerning faith and
morals, and claims for the pope and the
bishops the right to direct social action.
SCOTCH ALL FEEL INSULTED
New Order of Precedence Does Not
Salt Peers of North
Country.
EDINBURGH, April 9. (Special Cable
gram to The Bee.) Scotsmen declare that
a deliberate fnsult has been offered to their
nation by the new table of precedents
which appeared recently in the London
Gazette. The tablo orders that even in
his own country a peer of Scotland shall
walk behind a peer of England whose rank
is equal to his own. Since the publication
of the table in the Scottish papers they
have been Inundated with letters from ex
asperated Scotsmen, from which the fol
lowing are extracts:
"Surely in their own country our old
nobility ought to have precedence of for
eigners."
'Scotland has received many a nasty slap
in the face since Great Britain began to
be spelled 'England,' but surely for cool.
insulting impertinence this is unbearable.
Truly, it Is time we had home rule."
"It Is the greatest insult offered to Scot
land' as a nation for many centuries."
'All Scotsmen, from the premier duke
downwards, must with one voice demand,
and, if neccessory, Insist, that this table
of precedence be, with the least possible
delay, withdrawn, and thereafter publicly
burned in Edlnburg by the common hangman."
'We must insist upon it that Knights
of the Thistle shall not, on Scottish soli.
gave precedence to any knights on earth.
be they of the Garter or of the Golden
Fleece."
"In the old table of precedence In Scot
land the peers of Scotland rank first. It
Is now said that the old table had no au
thority. It had the authority derived from
official recognition."
In official quarters, however, it is de
clared that the new table of precedence
Is strictly in accordance with the treaty
of union, section 3 of which reads as
follows:
"And that all peers of Scotland and their
successors to be, their honors and digni
ties, shall from and after the union be
peers of Great Britain, and have rank and
precedence next and Immediately after the
peers of the like orders and degrees In
England at the time of the union and be
fore all peers of Great Britain of the like
orders and degrees who may be created
after the union."

Chosen for Place,
(From a 8taff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. April . (Special.) The Home
for the Friendless of this city, by act of
the last legislature, was again turned Into
a state Institution Instead of a cheap
boarding house for children of parents who
had no time or Inclination to care for them.
The 13,000 appropriation for the main
tenance of this institution and for the In
stallation of a hospital for crippled and
deformed children is to be spent exclu
sively for the care of children Inmates of
the home eligible for adoption; for aged
women of the home and for crippled and
deformed children. It was said In the de
bate of the bill, the Home for the Friend
less has been run chiefly for the benefit of
Lancaster county and the city of Lincoln
and from tho records quoted this was dem
onstrated to be a fact.
According to the terms of the bill it is
up to the State Board of Public Lands and
Bolldlngs to appoint an orthopedic surgeon
to take charge of the institution. Before
this is done there will be one of the hard
est fights on record pulled off. Most of
those women who urged the passage of
the bill are anxious that the board go out
side of the state and select a man who
has had much experience treating chil
dren, while others have recommended the
appointment of Dr. Foote of Omaha for
the place. The women who pushed the
bill through the legislature are opposed to
Dr. Foote.
Under the terms of the bill the Board of
Public Lands and Buildings is 'authorized
to establish in the home a purely ortho
pedic hospital and this hospital, if estab
lished as the bill provides, will not be
strictly a charitable institution, but a hos
pital where a charity ward Is maintained
for friendless children and a place where
people of moderate means may be enabled
to have their unfortunate children given
scientific treatment under a skilled ortho
pedic surgeon.
Section 2 of the bill provides that this
hospital Is not to be made a permanent
home for crippled children, but that it must
be maintained as any other first-class hos
pital where patients are kept only so long
as they receive benefit from the treatment.
When patients become either hopelessly In
curable or are benefited or cured they
must be passed out to make room for other
patients. The originators of the bill say
there Is no Intention that this shall ever be
come a detention hospital, but that It will
be maintained as a working hospital.
The method of gaining admission to the
hospital is outlined In section 4. The county
physician of every county In the state Is
the only gateway to the Institution. He
must examine every proposed patient from
his county and report his findings to the
board. This examination and report In
cludes not only the character and extent
of the affliction, but the financial condition
of the parents or guardian of the applicant.
In this way the amount of fee to be charged
for treatment can be regulated by the
board. But Indigent crippled and deformed
children may be passed through the hos
pital as wards of the state, receiving treat
ment and education until they are no longer
fit subjects for hospital care. Provision Is
made for special Instruction for all children
of school age In the hospital during their
term of treatment. According to the bill
proper instructors must be appointed to
teach these children. It is also provided In
tho bill that one set of employes must run
both the hospital as well as the home, thus
preventing a duplication of employes. The
building Is to be remodeled and an elevator
Installed as soon as possible.

Marriage a Failure.
HASTINGS. Neb., April 9.-(Speclal.)-C.
E. Barrett, who purchased the harness
business of Lou Halstead of -this city at
Trumbull, nine miles northeast of Hast
ings, and has been conducting it for al
most a year, departed for parts unknown
Tuesday, leaving his affairs In a somewhat
Involved state. Barrett bore an excellent
reputation, and domestic Infelicity, rather
man aisnonest motives. Is said to be the
cause of his unconventional departure.
Five weeks ago he was married to Delia
Storks, a rather comely farmer's daugh
ter of the vicinity of Trumbull. Tuesday
he accompanied his wife to Hastings, the
couple driving In a buggy. She returned
to Trumbull alone, stating that her hus
band had gone to search another loca
tion, where she would Join him later. This
version Is considered doubtful, Inasmuch
as Barrett's trade in Trumbull was consid
erable and the location a good one.
FARMERS WILLING TO HAISE BEETS
Larger Acreage at Norfolk. Than
When Factory Was There.
NORFOLK. Neb.. Arril 9 (Special.)
Now that the plant of the American Beet
Sugar company, which ran for thirteen
years in Norfolk, has been dismantled and
shipped bodily to Colorado, the farmers
around Norfolk and throughout northern
Nebraska have determined to raise beets
on a larger scale than ever, and contracts
have already been signed In this Immediate
vicinity for almost three times the acreage
that was produced a year ago. The beets
grown In northern Nebraska during the
coming summer will all be shipped to the
Leavltt factory at Ames, Neb., the ca
pacity of which has been doubled in order
to handle the crop that comes from the
territory that formerly belonged to the
Norfolk plant.
One of the visible potent reasons for this
remarkable Increase in beet raising now
that a marketing point has been made
eighty miles distant is, perhaps, the fact
that the Ames factory will this year pay
25 cents per ton more for the roots than
was paid by the Norfolk factory in 1904.
The Ames people will pay $5 per ton fiat
for beets delivered to them at Norfolk
and pay the freight from here to Ames.
In order to handle the crop they have
made arrangements to establish In Norfolk
a way station. ,
This, however, does not fully explain Just
why the acreage should be Increased three
fold over the contracts that the Norfolk
factory was able to secure for 1905, when
the American people offered for the coming
season V Hut, Just as the Ames people are
doing. It Is a fact, nevertheless, that the
American Beet Sugar company was nble to
secure less thnn 40 acres of beets from this
vicinity last year, while the Ames company
has already secured l.nno from Norfolk
alone, with many hundreds of acres more In
other portions of this territory.
As a result of the lack of beets for the
Norfolk factory Its machinery has gone to
Colorado, and as a result of the peculiar
situation the puzzle that Is confronting Nor
folk Is. "Why weren't the leets raised for
the home plant?" It In evident from the
tripling of acreage that under certain con
ditions some farmers In this sec
tion at least are willing to devote a por
tion of their time to beet culture. What it
Is that has wrought the change In so short
a time Is quite an unknown quantity. The
question that has naturally arisen Is,
"Would it pay to start a new sugar fac
tory here?" or, "If managed along different
lines during its lifetime in Nebraska, could
the Norfolk plant have been made a success?"

CHILDREN AFFECTED
By Mother's Food and Drink.
Many babies have -been launched Into life
with constitutions weakened by disease
taken In with their mother's milk.
Mothers cannot ba too careful as to the
food they use while nursing their babes.
The experience of a Kansas City mother
is a case In point:
"I was a great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought I could not eat a meal
without It. But I found at last It was
doing me harm. For years I had been
troubled with dizziness, spots before my
eyes and pain In my heart, to which wus
added, two years ago, a chronic sour
stomach. The baby was born seven months
ago, and almost from the berlnnnlng, it,
too, suffered from sour stomach. She was
taking It from me!
"In my distress I consulted a friend of
more experience than mine, and she told
me to quit coffee, that coffee did not make
good milk.. I have since ascertained that
it really dries up the milk.
"So I quit coffee, and tried tea and at
last cocoa. But they did not agree with
me. Then I turned to Postum Coffee with
the happiest results. It proved to be the
very thing I needed. It not only agreed
perfectly with baby and myself, but it
increased the flow of milk. My husband
then quit eoffe and used Postum, quickly
got well of the dyspepsia with which he
had been troubled. I no longer suffer from
the dizziness, blind spells, pain In my heart
or sour stomach. Postum has cured them.
"Now we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months' old baby.
It has proved to be the best hot drink we
have ever used. We would not give up
Poetum for the best coffee we ever drank."

PROPOSES TO TRY FOR SETTLEMENT
On Other Hand, Laborers Are Making;
Arrangements to Increase Ita
Effect Irenes by Shotting
Off Shipments.
CHICAGO, April . A determined effort
to settle by arbitration the strike of the
garment workers and the teamsters em
ployed by Montgomery, Ward & Co. is
belrur made.
Judge Edward F. Dunne, who will as
sume the office of mayor of Chicago to
morrow, stated tonight that one of his flret
official acts would be to endeavor to bring
about an amicable adjustment of the diffi
culty. Mayor-Elect Dunne's idea Is to get
both sides to the controversy together and
appoint a committee to arbitrate the trou
ble. While peace plans were being considered
today, the local unions of the express
drivers throughout the city met nnd de
cided to refuse tomorrow to handle any
goods belonging to the Arm of Montgomery,
Ward & Co. This means that the troubles
of the big concern will be doubled tomor
row, when they endeavor to transfer their
goods to the different railroad freight sheds
in the city. The employers tonight, how
ever, declare that they will have enough,
nonunion help on hand to take care of all
the wagons that will be needed.
Financial aid was extended to the strikers
today by the Chicago Federation of Labor.
The central body decided to appropriate
)2,50O a week for the garment workers,
while the strike is on. This makes a total
of J5.000 that the strikers will receive from
outside sources.
ITALY WILL SAVE THE COPE
Valuable Relic Returned by Morgan
Will Be Protected In a
Museum.
LONDON, April 9. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) The famous cope of Nicholas
IV, the theft of which from the Ascoli
cathedral baffled the Italian police for over
two years, and which was eventually found
In J. Flerpont Morgan's collection In a
South Kensington museum, has at last
been returned to the Italian government.
Profound secrecy was observed in Its re
moval from the museum, and its place on
the wall was Immediately filled by a piece
of tapestry. It left England a month ago
In charge of one of the secretaries of the
Italian embassy, and elaborate prepara
tions were taken for Irs safety on the voy
age. The cope was originally given to tho
Ascoli cathedral by Pope Nicholas IV to
ward the end of the thirteenth century.
The news of Its theft sent a shock through
the Roman Catholic world. Sir Purdon
Clark, the resigning curator of the museum,
told this week how a London dealer whom
he knew well came to him with the vest
ment under hlB arm and offered to- sell It
to the museum for 3,000. Sir Purden told
him ho could not purchase it at that price.
and the dealer said he would take it to
Mr. Morgan. Sir Purdon ventured to think
he would not be able to gain access to
Mr. Morgan, but the dealer smilingly as
sured him that however unapproachable
the great financier might be, his door was
always open to the humblest dealer' who
had something to sell which no one else
had. Two days later the man returned.

sold it to Mr. Morgan and brought It back

Mr. Morgan has returned the cope to the
Italian government unconditionally. It will

ROASTS YOUNG ROCKEFELLER
Rev. Dr. mills Comments on Iterent
Speech of the Yonthfnl
Millionaire.
NEW YORK. April . In the course of
his sermon In Plymouth church, Brooklyn,
today Rev. Dr. Newell Dwlght I Hills re

D. Rockefeller to the American Board of
Foreign Missions and to Mr. Rockefeller's
son. He nnld In part:
The saddest words that have been written
In this feneration were spoken before
Brown university by a young man who Is
to inherit one of the greatest fortunes In
this country. They were spoken In defenso
of the trusts. I.lxten to them:
"The American Reouty roue can be pro
duced in all Its splendor only by sacrificing
the early buds that grow up around It." The
rose has 1,000 buds and In erder to produce
the American Beauty the gardener goes
around It with a knife and snlns fl in
order that all the strength and beauty mav
be forced into one bloom. In h s economln
argument this young man brutally tells xh-fL
working classes that 999 small business mi'VJI
must be snurred out of existence In order
that his American Beauty, the trust, mav
be produced. Listen to Christ: "I,et the
strong bear the burden of the weak." and
again, "Give and it shall be given unto
you."
These words In defense of the trusts are
the most heart-breaking thing In literature
to those who know what Is going to come
In the future. Can you wonder that after
that when a man gives gifts we have no
gratitude to return?
Your Nerves
Are the life, the vitality, the energy of
your body.
It Is the nerves that cause the heart to
pulsate, the lungs to Inhale the ogygen,
the brain to direct the motion of every
organ of the body, the stomach to digest
food, the liver to secrete the bile, the kid
neys to filter the blood, and the bowels to
carry off the waste.
When the nerves of the stomach become
weakened or exhausted. Indigestion, Con
stipation and Inflammation result, because
the stomach is Inactive.
This is true of all the organs of the body,
and proves that to cure disease you must
strengthen the nerves.
Dr. Miles' Nervine
Is the great specific for the nerves, and In
bringing them back to health never falls
to cure all cases of Nervousness, Sleepless
ness, Neuralgia, Headache, Spasms, Back
ache, Muscular Twltchlngs, St. Vitus'
Dance. Epilepsy, -(Stomach, Liver and Kid
ney troubles.
'"For two years physicians and health re
sorts failed to relieve me of a complication
of stomach, liver, kidney and heart affec
tions. Six bottles of Dr. Miles' Nervine
cured me."
Q. W. ARCHIBOLD, Grocer, Decatur. Ind.
The first bottle will benefit. If not, the
druggist will return your money.

MASCAGNPS LATEST OPERA
"Arnica" Has Enthusiastic Reception,
but Plot and Libretto Said
to Be Poor,
MONTE CARLO, April 9.-(Special Ca
blegram to The Bee.) Mascagnl's new op
era, "Arnica," was produced here this week
and was given an enthusiastic reception.
The plot and libretto are poor, but the mu
sic Is romantio and full of charm. It
breaths the atmosphere of Alpine pastures,
amid which the scenes are laid.
Arnica, the peasant heroine, lives with a
farmer uncle who Is under the thumb of a
young servant named Magralen. The uncle
desiring to get rid of Arnica chooses as
her husband his adopted son, Glroglo, a
delicate young peasant. Unknown to them
all she Is in love with Hinalgo, Glorglo's
robust shepherd brother, who lives on the
higher Alps, and flees with him during a
thunder storm. Giorgio, urged by Mag
dalen, follows them with the Intention of
killing his brother, but on finding him,
Rlnoldo swears that he did not know of
Arnica's betrothal, and bidding them an
eternal farewill, dashes up the cliffs. Arnica
attempts to follow him, but falls into a ra
vine and perishes, leaving the brothers
alone.
Miss Geraldine Farrar, a pretty Ameri
can, sang and acted admirably as Arnica.
Her performance was the more creditable
