U ,2Cew York, Dec. 29. A Sal Lake sof- cial to The Evening World tays: Rep resentative-elect E. H. Roberta yester day- made the following statement .to The Evening World correspondent: tf a time comes when it is necessary for me to defend myself I shall be. there right cn the spot, and I appreciate that the members of congress and the Amer ican people are more liberal, broad- minded and generous than a few big oted and contracted preachers of the Presbyterian church, whose training. mode of life and trend of thought tend to unfit them for practical life. Joseph Smith received a commandment from the Lord to introduce our order of mar riage into the church, and on the strength of that revelation and not by seasons of anything that is written In the Jewish scriptures the- Latter Day Saints practice plural marriage. Declares Polygamy Not Adultery. Polygamy is not adultery, for were it so considered then Abraham, Jacob and the prophets who practiced it would not be allowed a heritance in the kingdom of heavpn; and if polygamy it not adul- tery then it cannot be classed as a sin at all.

I arrived here yesterday, and one of the I first things he did was to give out an ! Interview. Among other things he said J "The chaplains are a sort of sop to the stance to them. They Just take a mtn ister and put a uniform on bim with a silver cross on the sholuder, pay him 200 a month and turn him loose on 1.2C3 men without any of the implements of the spiritual warfare to fight with. I've been disappointed. V 7 When I get out I am going to sug gest that they do away with the chap lains. I suppose there may be a howl but it ie-better to raise the issue and have the whole system revised. When we get down to Cuba I'll wager most of the men would rather go to a cock fight or a bull ring than attend services. To tell the truth, I am beginning to think there is a heap of balderdash about what the chaplains do accomplish out side of meeting the sentiment that calls for their presence with every body of troops." . ' Illinois Guiders of the Yonng. i pringfield. Ills.. Dec. 29. The prin cipal feature of the State Teachers' as sociation last evening was an eloquent address by President James H. Canfleld. of Ohio state university at Columbup. The speaker made an eloquent plea for the common school as bearing the great burden of perpetuating intelligent citi zenship. He made a plea for a wide system of education, unifying thecourse of study, more expert knowledge on the part of teachers, bettersuperlntendency, and above all the right kind of teach ers. At yesterday morning s session the subject discussed was "What can the school do to improve community life?" The nominating committee reported Al bert G. I.ane. of Chicago, for president. and Jcel M. Bowlby, of Metropolis, for etretary. m A Talking Crow. Tbo latest curiosity in Bethel. Me., ia a talking crow which entertains the boys and girls.

ROBERTS. Christians must either learn to tolerate polygamy or give up forever the glorN ous hope of resting in Abraham's bosom. That which Gcd approves and so strikingly - approves-i-must be not only not bad but positively good, pure and holy. Statement of Robert' Case. Notwithstanding this, however, the hand of the Gentiles was laid so heavy upon the people of the Lord that in his mercy God permitted them to cease therefrom expediency, and true to the pledges given by the church no polyga mous marriages have since been cele brated by the church. But- not even the church can take away from a man the wives it has already given him. Thfy are his, for -time amd for eternity. and IitbinH the great, broad-minded anB just Areerlcari people, will not re- qtilrr ,a tnii "to dest off; the wives, he i,Wtti-hom-he ha Hrved nop to abandon his children." K Can See No Legal Obstacles. At the most, Roberts says, his offense Is unlawful cohabitation, and he re marked: "I am here and the courrs are open. If any cne wants to test the point the way is clear' It has been urged by some that Roberts, owing to the operation of the Edmunds-Tucker act, which disfranchised all polygamists, is legally barred from taking his seat in congress. In regard to this Roberts says he' has had the best legal advice obtainable, which convincs him that there are no legal obstacles in the way of -his taking the seat. Roberts bays It Is Largely Fake. ; Salt Iake City. Utah., Dec. 29. Rep resentative-elect Roberts was shown the Salt Lake dispatch to an eastern paper claiming to be an interview with him on church matters. Roberts said he had not given the reporter of the paper nything of the kind for publication. He said he was called upon for a state ment and told the repWter that, he had nothing to say on the subject. In con versation with the reporter Roberts said he called attention to the distinc tion between polygamy and unlawful cohabitation and said there had been no polygamous marriages since 1S90. Further than the substance of this, be says, he said notning tnat is contained in the alleged interview. BOODLE HURT AT CHICAGO. Bribery Charges Taken I'p for Investiga tion by the Grind Jury.

FIRE, LIGHTNING . . . TORNADO, 'WIND STORM . A Greek Gealna. Diamandi, a native of Pylaros, one of the Greek islands, is a remarkable cal- i culator. After a mere glance at a black board on which 80 groups of figures are written he can repeat them in any order and deal with them by any arithmetical process. It is said that he never makes an error in calculations involving bil lions, and be can extract sqnare or cube roots with marvelous rapidity and ac curacy. An eminent German specialist declared tbe ' other day that all tbese ready reckoners were idiots. Thii is uot the case with Diamandi, who writes poetry and novels in tbe intervals of business and shows considerable intel lectual capacity.
