SuperstitfOus Humanity.

From the st. Paul Mimi Globe, March l5
From the time that King Saul went down to
Endor to get an old woman to disturb the dead
prophets rest down to last night, when 5000
st. Paul people crowded into the Exposition
rink to witness spiritualistic performance,
there has been no interruption In humun desire
to deal with the supernatural and to know some
thing Of that which lies beyond this life, AL.
though but few confess 1t is nevertheless true
that superstition is a principle with q majority
of people. There isn't one individual out of n
thousand who can be persuaded TO start on a
journey or to begin any important business oper-
alton on Friday. And as for getting married on
Friday, there isn't u man or woman on the two
civilized continents but would shudder with
horror at the thought of such thing. And yet,
II pressed for reason of this superstitiOus alb
horrence of Friday, the only response that
would be given is that Friday is an unlucky
day. There isn't one person in ten who will pick
up pin unless the point lay before them. To
see the new moon over the wrong shoulder
Is the cause Of more apprehension to some
people than the approach Of cholera. There are
families who would rather sacrifice all their
household goods than to move q cat on the first
of May, although the family was only going TO
move into the house just across the street.
Breaking looking glass has brought more
sorrow and direful apprehension to young
hearts than war and pestiience.

The Mellen Conspiracy.
THE LATEST FEATURE OF THIS REMARKABLE

THE LATEST FEATURE OF THIS REMARKABLE
CASE.
The confession Of Mrs. Coolidge In Boston of
conspiracy to murder the junior Mrs. Mellen, of
Baltimore, as stated in THE STAR some days
since, has created renewed interest In the case.
Mr.. Mellen, ST., has not been In Baltimore for a
long time, and his present location is only nown
70 his counsel. He Is believed, however TO be
In Mexico.
The confession OF guilt on the part of Mrs
Coolidge practically establishes the guilt of A
l. Mellen, the proprietor of the st. James hotel
IN baltimore; who was indicted for conspiracy
% murder the wife of his son. The arrest OF
Mrs. Coolidge on Saturday. October "a 1885
BY Boston detectives, brought to light the de-
tails OF the scheme. She is the wife of one of
Boston's police officers and is about 80 wears of
age ana well educated. On October 9Th she
went 70 Bose Co6o's dive" In Boston, and Of
out woman" She explained that the woman
was a young Irish girl who had married into
the family OF Mr.. Meiien ciandestinely. Not
until a child had been born were the parents of
young Mellen aware of the marriage They en-
deavored 70 induce him To leave his wife, but he
refused. MIS-. Coolidge said further that Mr.
Mellen had employed her 10 get the woman out
OF the way, but on no condition was the child
Alter Cobb had refused 10 commit the crime
the woman had an interview with John Dono-
hue, alias John Ball, a notorious character,
whom she also attempted to bribe to commit
the crime, offering him 81 900. She said that
she had made two attempts To poison young
She gave DOnohue $50 and told him to go 10
the Revere house, where he would find a pack
cge containing $1,000. Donohue thought a
trap was being set for him and informed the
police. The money was found in the package
and Donohue was sent to Baltimore, where he
had an interview with the elder Mellen and
arranged to commit the murder. Mrs.
Coolidge was then arrested and confessed her
guilt.
The delay in indeting Mellen enabled him
TO make his escape. He FIRST went to Philadel-
phia and subsequently, to Mexico, where he Is
now said To- be. The ST. James hotel, in Bati-
more, Is still managed in his name. under a
power OF attorney, and his wife resides there.
Aeilen is a native OF Lowell, Mass, and worked
his way up rom office boy. He went I'd Balti-
more about years ago and prospcred in the
