Prevalence of Similar superstitions


The postponement of a Javanese we'd
ding in Midway Plaisance because the
bridal couple were afraid TO wed on a
rainy day indicates that the spirit OF our
proverb. Happy is the bride that the sun
shines on, and happy is the dead that the
rain falls on" obtains in the antipodes.
Students of folklore find that similar su-
perstitions prevail in opposite parts of the
earth. For example, in China. when a
person dies, hole is cut in the roof Of the
house to give egress to the feetiDg soul !;
in Scotland a window is opened
to let the soul pursue it's way out
w ara and upward. How came this
practice to obtain in two localities so very
distant from each other? Presumably
superstitions were carried hither and
thither, from one country TO another. in
the same way and by the same persons
that introduced the fairy tales and ehostly
legends of Ind to the Teuton. the French
man. the Celt and the Anglo-Saxon. Min
strels, explorers. travellers and merchant
men performed this curious Office perhaps
in those very distant times; the agents are
dust and the records of their deeds have
disappeared. but the beautiful, intangible
creations of human fancy which they
served live and thrive and are imperish-
able.

WASHINGTON. June 30.-The reap
pearance of cholera in Europe does not
cause any alarm among the treasury
officials. Reports are daily received
from United States consuls and other
agents abroad. and they concu that
the climatic conditions that have SO far
obtained in Europe are not conducive
to the spread of cholera. There have
been sporadic cases of cholera and some
deaths from it. but the disease has not
spread as It did last year, and they ex-
press the opinion that it will not reach
this country.

INDIANAPOLIS. June 30.-Senator
PETER Of Kansas was here Wednesday.
He said the repeal OF the Sherman law

q new political party would form, with
the Peoples party as its preliminary
makeup, receiving recruits from the
larger organizations, which, he said,
were now closing their careers.

Question Again Raised as to Whether
the President Has Power to Fire
Ofacials
whose Terms Have Not Expired. I'm
less Specific Charges Are Proven
Against Them.
The Peculiar Case Which Il Just Now
Embarrassing Attorney General
Olney.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The question
Of the right Of the president to remove
q public official before the expiration
Of his term Of four years without as
signing cause, comes up in q new
phrase. differing from the points raised
Id Alabama recently. Certain old Of
fcials in that state, it will be remem-
bered, set up the claim that the presi-
dent had no power to remove them be-
fore the end of their terms. One Of
them was the old United States at
torney, who refused to give way to the
new appointee. The matter came mp
in court and while the court did mot rem
der any decision ivolving the question
at Issue, it cut the Gordian knot and
simply recognized the new APP
pointee, refusing to listen to the old
United States attorney.
III E~mbarrasses OIney.
Now d Judge in one Of the courts re-
fuses TO tnrn his Office over to the new
Judge appointed by Cleveland. and At
torney General Olney is somewhat en-
harrassed by the situation. The old
judge Is not removed. because he is In
possession of his office today. There
are also several old treasury officials
who resent their removal to the extent
OF threatening to appeal the cases to
the courts. These cases differ from the
cases in the department of justice, in
that the removed persons held their
commissions from the treasury instead
Of the president.
Some Doubt Expressed.
Some doubt is expressed in high OIL
cial circles as to the absolute right of
removal Of a person holding a presiden-
tial commission. The late Caleb Cush-
ing Is usually quoted by those who re-
tain this view. A legal opinion rendered
while hs@wasattesne general, he ar
gued at some length against the right
of absolute removal Of officials who
were appointed by a president with
the advice Of the senate"
This opinion seems to stand alone,
and during all administrations the
power OF removal has been exercised by
the president, and now that the power
of the tenure of Office act relating *
these terms Of service has been repealed,
it is contended that there is nothing in
the law that abridges Of qualities the
right Of the president as to removals
Still, the question is an undecided one
as far as the courts go.
The attention of the civil service
commission has been called to the sub
ject by one of those recently affected,
and Commissioner Roosevelt has had q
conference with Secretary Carlisle
presumably on this subject.

Importance
To a Minneapolis Attorney and the

Iron Lands on the Mesaba to the Value
of Ss,oOo,0OO Involved In the
Case.

ST. PAUL, June S0.-Three million
dollars worth OF iron land in the heart
Of the Mesaba region has been awarded
by the supreme court Of Mmnesota to
Robert Jarnison, ~ex-county attorney OF
Hennepin county, and the syndicate Of
Eastern capitalists he represents. The
contest for the iron lands involved In
the case, comprising several Thousand
scres, has been going on for over two
years, and in the bitterness of the Grim
nations and recriminations charges OF
collision have been made against both
State Auditor herman and ex-State
Auditor Braden. The lands were dis
covered to be very valuable early in
1891, and James III. Baker, ex-secretary
of state, representing wealthy gentle
men of Columb bus and Cincinnati, O.,
Springfield. Ills, and st. Louis, Mo-,
made application for leases on all
the land. w. w. Braden, then
state auditor. said the title was
still in the United States. Upon April
IA. 1891. learning that the government
had just patented the land in question to
Minnesota. the Jamison party appeared
at the state capitol. paid for and Sc
cured the leases. The following day
the Baker party appeared and demanded
the leases on the ground that their APP
plications were first on file. Since that
date the case worked its way up to the
supreme court, which has exonerated
the auditor and ex-auditor from the
charge of collision and awarded the
leases to the Ja,nison party on the
ground that no official misconduct had
been shown.

LEAGUE.
First International Convention In
Session nc Cleveland.

Session at Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, o., June 30.-The first
international convention of the Ep-
worth League has opened at Music
hall. 1t is composed OF representatives
from the Methodist Episcopal church
throughout the world, the Methodist
Church OF Canada, the Methodist
Episcopal Church South and the Wes-
leyan Methodist Church of England.
AT the opening exercises the address
OF welcome was delivered by Governor
Mckinley on behalf OF the state. Fully
10000 delegates are in the city, and
more are arriving on every train.
The Epworth League Is, like the
Christian Endeavof society, a great in
ternational organization of young men
and young women engaged in evangel-
ical work, but unlike the Endeavor it is
confined to one great religious de-
nomination, the Methodist church.
Membership OF a Million.
The league is but four years old, yet
II has some x,20O societies and q MEM
bership Of more than 100000. 1t unit
lies all Methcdism as the Endeavor
seeks 10 unite all evangelical denom-
nations. 1t has brought close together
all the different branches Of the Metho-
dist church, and in the convention that
assembled not only every state
In the Union, but also 15 for
eign nations are represented.
The discussion OF the convention viii
relate to social, educational, charitable,
temperance and missionary work OF the
league. There is a strong feeling against
taking up any question that does not
properly belong to the church, but 1t ID
probable that some emphatic declara-
ton will be made concerning the open
ing of the worlds fair on Sunday. Some
Of the delegates on the ground are in
favor of declaring a boycott on the en-
terprise, but there are others who argue
that this would not be good policy. The
general sentiment is that, as q national
enterprise, NO personal antipathies
against the fair should be allowed tc
make itself manifest. The
Growth OF the Epworth League
is the marvel of the Methodist Episco.
pal church. In Cleveland. O., the
league was organized on May IA, 1889,
with only q handful Of mem bers. To.
day the league has nearly 1000, DOC
members, aud is adding daily to its
great menibershin.
