Show WILDE AND THE GENTILES. The Gentiles at Salt Lake are making wry faces and the Saints are smiling quickly over Mr. O. Wilde's parting remarks in New York relative to his audience in the Mormon capital. The gentile Wilde put it thus: "The most unintellectual audience that was in Salt Lake. The Mormons are the most unintellectual people I have met in America, because they have the worst physiques I have seen; and a people must have good physiques in order even to comprehend art." The reason why the Gentiles groan and the Saints snicker is this: Not more than six or eight of the large audience were Mormons, the languishing Gentiles having turned out en masse to show the apostle of the idiotic that they were with him.-The Chicago Times. |
