LONDON, Dec. 14.—Arthur Frankau's recent death recalls the fact that it wag largely through an accident which befell him several years ago that his wife, Mrs. Julia Frankau, came to em- bark In authorship. Mrs. Frankau, who signs herself “Frank Danby,” is, of course, the author of “Pigs in Clov- er,” the rather daring novel which made: such a stir on both ‘sides of the Atlantic, somewhat more than a year ago, and the new romance “Baccarat,” which has just been published here and in_the United States. In his early married life Frankau, who was a cigar manufacturer, did a good deal of horseback riding and one day he was thrown and injured one leg 50 badiy that he was confined to his bed for many weeks. Mrs. Frankau was at his bedside almost constantly, and it was not long before the idea struck her of distracting ker mind during these vigils by trying to write | a book. She had had the strongest poseible encouragement to make such an experiment—from no less a person than George Moore, whom her husband had iniroduced to her. It happened at ‘Esther Waters” needed, for & novel he was writing, a letter written by a woman under certain circumstances, and being struck by Mrs. Frankau's ‘strong per- | sonality, Moore asked her if she would write such a letter for him. She did s0 and Moore was S0 impressed with the result that he strongly advised Her to write a novel. Following the advice beside her hus- | band’s bedside, Mrs. Frankau found themselves into words in a truly marvelous fash- ion. One evening she read to her hus- what ghe had composed thus far, and he was so surprised and interested that thereafter she read every even- ing what she had written during the day and when the book, which was led “Dr. Phillips,” was finished, both authoress and critic believed there was rather more than “something” in it.

FSCOTT & BOWNE, gy Poglltwast, Naw Sodh, bookmen in Great Britain than Lord Rosebery, and the Earl was at his happiest the other day when he open- ed the new Carnegie library at West Calder. Among other things he inade a witty reference to the “index which existed in the Eoman Catholic church— a list of books which, in the opinion of the church, it was not well for peo- ple to read,” and then said that he wanted several indexes. He did not want one for vbjectionable books, for €0 great was the force of human curi- osity that he was afraid those were the first books that a great madny ill-con- stituted minds would seek. He wanted, in the first place, an in- dex free from all private influence of authors and publishers, to tell them what were the books they ought to read and the books they ought to buy, which were not by any means the same thing. The amateur adviser as to what and what not to read he had found an intolerable person. Such advice had broken up many friendships. The man who was recommended to read a novel and after getting a hundred pages into it found it impossible to go on, and yet after having read so much found it un- profitable to lay it down, swore an eter- nal enmity against the man who recom. mended to him that book. BORROWERS OF BOOKS. No limitation of means could in these days excuse anybody from not buying books, but he distinguished between ! books to be read and books to be ! bought. They read in order to see whether the book was worth buying. He found two further classes of books— the books that they borrowed from friends and returned, and the books | they borrowed and did not return. The non-returning of books had ended more | friendships and terminated more affec- tions than any other cause of which he was cognizant. The man who bor- rowed one volume from a set and never returned it was a man who should be treated like vermin, trapped or shot at sight, or any other of the punishments which might be extended to this least and vilest of mankind. His ideal index would be that which told them the best book to read on any subject that they might ask for, but his fear was that they would get nobody to frame any such index, because his life would not be safe. Authors and pub- | lishers who do not find their names and their books on the list would seek his life, and he t have to sit, like the newspaper editor in the Western States of America, with a couple of revolvers in his drawer ready to shoot at sight the first complaining person that should appear. owned by E.

The matter was brought to the Senate's attention"by a House commit- tee and.the Senate appoifited a com- mittee consisting of Platt of Connecti- cut, Clark of Wyoming, Fairbanks, Bacon and Pettus to prepare the details | of the proposed trial. The Senate considered the Philippine bill and the pure food bill.

He did not doubt, he sald, that railroads were essential to the development of the islands and that their construction | would improve the military situation | there ag well "as"ténd to the establish- ment of an orderly and stable govern- ment, but he contended that the rate of 5 per cent proposed to be allowed was not only excessive; but an unnec- essary burden on a people already im- poverished by war. Newlands said that under the terms of the bill the Philippine Government had no indemnity for interest paid on the vroposed Government bonds. He believed the Government would have to pay them, ard thought that the United States could reduce the interest ffom 5 to 2 per cent by guaranteeing the bends, inasmuch as this Govern- ment was morally responsible in any | event, and he believed it should stand | good for them from the beginning.

Mrs. Fred Ellis of Salt Lake City, a daughter of Angus Cannon. who mar- ried her cousin, Abram Cannon, when she was 19 years of age, testified that she was Abram Cannon’s first plural wife, and that her husband married Lillian Hamlin on June 18, 1896. He was at that time one of the twelve apostles. Cannon, according to the wit- ness, then had three wives, and he told her he intended to marry Lillian Ham- lin. He told her that Miss Hamlin had been engaged to his brother David, who had died, and she therefore wanted to marry Abram. Mrs. Ellis detailed a conversation she had with her husband, in which ehe told him she did not think he could marry Lillian Hamlin. Can- non said he could marry outside the State—that he would marry her for time and she would be David's wife for eternity. “I told him that if he did marry Lil- lian,” said the witness, “I could not live with him, when the church or the law would not recognize his marriaga” Mrs. Ellis told of the departure of! Cannon and Miss Hamlin, accompanied by President Smith, who is said to have performed the marriage ceremony on the high seas, and of their return. They returned about July 6, 1896. Cannon was ill and died about three weeks later. “He confessed on his deathbed that he had married Miss Hamlin,” said Mrs. Ellis, “and he said: ‘I have never had a well day since.’ I think it killed him,” the witness added, sobbingly. James H. Wallis Sr., who divulged the Endowment House oaths, was re- called. This oath, he now said, con- tains nothing concerning vengeance upon “inhabitants of the earth,” but is a pledge to avenge the blood of the slain prophets upon “the nations of the éarth.” August Lundstrum of Salt Lake City was sworn. He testified that he went through the temples in Salt Lake and Logan. He had heard the endowment obligations taken six times, he said, each ceremony consuming from six to eight hours, according to the size of the crowd. He said baths of sacrifice and of retribution were administered. The whole proceeding was a series of obligations, said the witness, but he BLTRE P WILL PRESENT CHARGES. | could not remember ail“of them.

House Committee to Frame Accusa- { tion Against Swayne. | WASHINGTON, = Dec. 14—Further action on the impeachment proceedings against Judge Charles Swayne of the Northern District of Florida was taken in the House to-day by the appoint- ment of a committee of seven, provided for by a resolution adopted yesterday to draft the charges for presentation to the Senate, and by the reception of the report of the committee of five to no-| tify the Senate of the impeachment. The latter body -announced that it had performed its duty and that the Senate had responded that “order shall be taken.” The urgent deficiency bill and several other measures of a public nature were passed. Immediately after the House met to- day Speaker Cannon announced as the committee of seven to prepare the charges against Judge Charles Swayne the following: Halmer of Pennsylva- nia, Gillett of California, Parker of New Jersey, Littlefield of Maine, Pow- | ers of Massachusetts, Clayton of Ala- bama and Dearmond of Missouri. Baker scored the Republican party for not accomplishing more against the trusts. ) * ANOTHER CARRIER MAY GO. Inquiry Into Acts of Secretary of Ru- ral Association. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Orders | were issued to-day for an investiga- tion of the case of Secretary Tumber | of the Rural Carriers’ Association, | | whose name was signed on the circu- | lar letter sent to candidates for Con- | gress #sking their position on legis- | lation affecting‘the carriers. A post- office inspector will be immediately assigned to look into his actions on these matters. Tumber is employed as rural carrier at Lockport, N.

The postal officials are determined to break up the lobbying, which, they assert, has been going on here in con- nection with proposed measures af- fecting the interests of postal em- ployes. PSR, WANTS SLICE OF ARIZONA. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Senator Kearns to-day introduced a bill pro- viding for the annexation to Utah of all that portion of Arizona lying north of the Colorado River. The portion of Arizona affected is about 800 square miles in area. It is north of the Grand Canyon and on that ac- count .inaccessible to the authorities of Arigona. It is said it now forms a haven for criminals and the purpose of the measure is to give Utah crim- inal jurisdiction over the tract. —_— | TO ADVEBTISERS. t Owing to the amount of work incident to the issue of THE CALL HOLIDAY EDITION, SUNDAY, DEC. 18, NO ?NIGSPLAY ADVERTIS- copy will be P.

Should similar action be taken in other cases to the extent demanded by the Repub- licans' lawyers, it will result in the election of the entire Republican legis- lative ticket in this county and give the Republicans control of both branches of the Legislature. On the face of the returns, the Republicans have a majority in the House and the | Democrats a majority in the Senate. ! Another result of the exclusion of a few precinets would be to put the Re- publicans in possession of all the city and county offices except the Mayor- alty, should the Supreme Court decide that the spring election was not legal and that these offices were to be filled at the November election. The Demo- cratic mgjorities ran from 700 to 2000. Shouh’lhe entire vote of eight city wards over which the Supreme Court assumed jurisdiction be disregarded, Alva Adams, the Democratic candidate for Governor, would iose 18,845 votes and Governor James H. Peabody 8541, a net loss of 10,304 for Adams, but this alone would not result in his defeat, as his majority in the State is something over 11,000 In announcing the decision to exclude the returns of Precinct Eight, Ward Seven, Chief Justice Gabbert said: “Frauds cgnnot be fully prevented un- less the court assuming jurisdiction to prevent them has the power to undo them in all cases where they are com- mitted in violation of its orders. A court of equity has the inherent power to effectuate its orders, and the motion will, therefore, be sustained.” It is announced that 120 more war- rants have been issued by the Supreme Court ¢n application of the Republicans for the arrest of persons alleged to have been implicated in the -election frauds.
