Yesterday afternoon the Woman's
Missionary Society, of; Centenary

and literary meeting by Mrs. Clyde
Eby at her home- on, Broad street
Quite a number; of the members were
present and a very pleasant , and pro
fitable hour was spent. - c -
For several ' months- the Society
has been pursuing the study of. Mor-
monism and at this meeting the fifth
topic "Mormonism as .'a Lite, was
tsken ' up ; for consideration. The
Dresident beintf- absentj' Mrs. Scott
directed : the worki for he afternoon
During the investigation and discussion
of the subject, i many startling and
revolting facts were discovered: ; ..
Notorious untruthfulness,' profanity
and obscenity, as well as intemperance
and immorality characterizing all-clas
ses" of Mormons.-! Yet they plalm there
was no immorality in Utah until, the
coming of the Gentiles. Bruce Kinney
says: Of course the Mormons deny that
their, people a e more immoral than
others, but Mormonism . seems really
to have withered- their moral sensi
bilities. . They do not haV. the same
standards as Chrtian people. ' Young
men who are notoriously . obscene and
immoral are ent away on' missions.
Indeed it se:ms to be designed to send
such young men on a mission in order
to reform them, w Practices that would
horrify any but Mormons are common
and are encouraged by parents." . Facts
from the life of President Smith
Apostles Penrose Thatcher and Taylor
were freely discussed. v'"'

PARIS NEWSPAPER COMMENTS
Her Accountant-Like Precision De-
i
clared To Be Affecting And "J 5
Sublime. y
New York, " Aug. 15.-The Paris
correspondent of the New York Amer
ican sends that paper the following:
Few internal events in ' America
m the French Press as the proposed
I impeachment of Governor Sulzer, " of
New York. The interest in the affair
which was -great from .the beginning
.1 has increased tenfold since the declara
tion of Mrsf Sulzer that she handled
ome of the campaign contributions,
and speculated in stocks without the
knowledge of her husband. The Journal
des Debats, in commenting on the lat
ter phase of the affair, says:
' "What is extraordinary in Mrs. Sul
zer's revelations is the attitude of
this American wife. Her husband
seems to be in a fair way to succumb,
but she shows no .disdain for a man
wno win possmiy De. overcome u-
morrow. What is more she detends
una uy " """-
she is talking about. She prepares a
detailed report of the stock transac-
xions m wmi.ii nyai .u..u

""This news deserves attention as it
l shows a revolution in American con
j jugal IjCefjf Hitherto pur conception of
the husband has been that of a brea('
winner? a money-maker and a chec!.-
signer, happy in the fact that he wts

to j win dollars in Europe : while vv
i thought: that she ignored the origi
iof the, dollars and often Was almost
unable , to say what her husbanc s
profession' was. - " -
"We must now renounce this preju

but in New York it is sublime."

JAIL DELIVERY

Three Negroes Confined In Craven
County Jail Attempt To Lead
Others To Freedom.
TORE HOLE IN THE CEILING
Jailer Bayliss Learns Of Attempted
Escape In Time To
Prevent It.
Lead by William Johnson. Thad
Rhodes, and John Wallace twenty
more prisoners who are confined in the
Craven County jail attempted to make
their escape from that institution
late yesterday afternoon, and but for
the fact that one of the negroes who was
not taking any "part in the attempted
delivery, succeeded in getting word
to Jailer E. J. Bavliss he attemnt
might possibly have been successful
for a few of them anyway.
The prisoners are at night confined
in a steel cage but during the day
are allowed to get a little recreation
by walking around the large room
in which this cell is located. Several
times in the past few years prisoners
have escaped by way of the roof, after-
climbing up on top of the cage and
making an aperture in the ceiling and
this was the route chosen by the pris
oners who attempted to escape yester
day.
One or more of them had climbed
on top of the cage and had succeeded
in picking a hole in the plastering,
and with a few hours more work would
have been able to get up in the loft
from which they could have reached
the. roof and then made a' rope out of
their bedding and reached the ground
by the aid of this. When Jailer Bayliss
learned of the attempted delivery
he lost no time in getting up to the room
in which the cage is located, but found
no one on top of this. However, he
learned that the men mentioned above
had suggested and put the idea into
effect.
Only a few weeks intervene before
the next term of Craven county
Superior Court will be held and in the
meantime Jailer Bayliss will keep the
prisoners in their cells, not allowing
them another opportunity to make
their escape.
