Doings Of spirituaIi.ts.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The National
Spiritualistic Convention to-day referred the
arrests of mediums in Philadelphia to the
committee on resolutions. There was con-
siderable discussion over efforts to compel
railroads to grant half fare to Spiritualistic
clergymen, the matter finally being referred
to the incoming board of trustees.
1t was agreed to set aside a day to be
known as National Association day." at
the camp meeting. The proposition to es-
tablish a defense fund for the protection
of mediums against persecution was adopt
ed. 1t was the unanimous opinion Of the
speakers that Su~nday-schools should be
crowded for the children so that they may
be defended from the doctrines of orthodo
teachers and be inculcated with the princi-
pies of spiritualism. Favorable action was
taken on the proposition to raise a fund
for the establishment Of a national school
TO teach spiritualism.

The Long Pension Case.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-In his motion
for the advancement Of the Judge Long
pension case. on the docket of the United
States Supreme Court, the Attorney-general
indicates briefly the position his office will
take in the matter. He says: There are,
as We have seen, very strong reasons for
holding that where a title has passed. or
the rights of innocent third persons have
supervened. or there has been a very great
lapse of time without question, the deci-
sions of the head Of al executive depart
ment should be considered as beyond the
power if his successors to disturb. The
reasons are quite strong also why, as to
transactions wholly ended, where credit
has been given or money paid over, there
should be no recognized right of review
save for fraud or manifest illegality. But
where the matter is one that involves flu
ture recurring payments OF money there
seems no good reason why succeeding In
cumbents of the Office charged with a pres
ent responsibility should be concluded by
the decisions of their predecessors. They
should not lightly override their prede-
cessors, but when satisfied and convinced
that error has been committed and that
there Is no legal warrant for the pay
ment demanded, it would seem to be their
duty, as well as their right, to rectify the
error. The recognition of the power in
such cases involves no destruction of
vested rights, no impairment of the obliga-
tons Of contracts, and no Arrangement of
the equities of third persons"

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The annual re-
port of the quartermaster-general of the
army shows that during the year the army
was literally and promptly supplied with
necessary articles of clothing and
equipage Of satisfactory quality. The cav
airy mount of to-day excels that of any
time, and is superior to that OF
foreign armies. The average cost per head
was $94.A for cavalry horses and $l4S.04 for
artillery horses. Owing to the considerable
reduction in the allowance for draft and
pack animals made possible by the cessa-
ton of Indian wars on the Rio Grande a
large saving has BEEN made in the appro-
priation for such stock. The principal al
iotments for the construction of new build
ings at posts were as follows: Fort Crook.

DIVORCE IN TURKEY.
The Only Formally Is the Return OF
the Brides Dowry.

Divorce in Turkey is obtained with
facility which would surprise even our
transatlantic cousins. AS easily as
Abraham cast forth Hagar, the bond
woman and her child, so also can the
Turk open the door of his harem and
send out into the world the woman who
no longer pleases him. He has but to
give her back her dover and personal
effects. In the upper classes, however,
certain legal formalitieS are gone
through. and. indeed as the lady is
usually protected by her parents, di-

vorced twice. thrice and even ten
times Among the lower orders di-

Many girls who are not yet 20 years of
age have been divorced and remarked

The lady soon found her second hus-

divorced. It must be remembered that
if a Turk can divorce his wife, she can
only divorce him at his pleasure by
making herself as unpleasant as pos
sible to him. In former times he tied

within the larger circle of the
parish organizations. In the Episco-
pal Church the same idea mischievously
turks in the theory of the historic
episcopate, in which it is assumed that

authority centuries ago from apostolic
sources. In the Roman Catholic Church
the authority of the Pope is supported
by the assumption that he obtains

son of his ecclesiastical office"

the tive, had all been at the race track
that afternoon, and were returning in
good spirits to tell the good news that
the strike would be declared off on the
morrow, and in a day or two all trains
would be moving.
They met Miss Francis, blushing and
beautiful, coming through the hall. At
her side was the tall. fine-lOoking Cash
Ter, who seemed to have an air of pro-
lprietorship about him.
They all stopped to tell her the news.
And she introduced her companion to
them all in a pretty, graceful way,
blushing brightly as she said: My
fance, Mr.. Ashby,,, and turning to him,
said You must join with me in thank
ing these gentlemen for making my en-

They did not tarry to chat The bolt
had fallen on five as unsuspecting NOR
tails as could well be got together at
short notice
As they passed along the student re-
marked, where does our Thanksgiv-
ing day come in?"
Tomorrow, when the strike is
over" declared the Professor, a trifle
huskily.
IT'S a harder hit than the strike ever

The old party shook his head and
sighed. But the merchant said truth
fully well, boys, we have our lady
passenger to thank for making time
pass quickly We have been here five
weeks. Who would think it,"
And over their wine that night the
five gentlemen in friendly amity again
toasted their fellow-passenger as the

ever met. They called on the student
for song. He arose with his mandolin
in hand, and an air of one who had
been crushed, but was regaining elias
ITCHY again because he had company
which misery likes. He sang in his
boyiSh tenor:
Oh when Cupid goes out on n strike,
Who knows who he'll hit in his train;
But his blows are so pleasant for Prince or for
peasant.

After singing Home, Sweet Home,
they dispersed to meet on the morrow.
AS the train left this far-Off Western
town the student was singing joyously,
Get Aboard Little Children, Get
Aboard" But the other four were
silent. Miss Francis and her fiance
were in the next car. The strike was,
indeed. over, but its influence on the
lives of these men who can determine.
The cashier and his bride of last July
still dilate with enthusiasm on the
strike that brought them love and
happy home life, for which in this year
of grace they will be thankful for.

1T is curious" says the Christian
Register (Unit) Of Boston, Ito note how
many errors in Christianity have been
committed through a failure to appre-
bend this truth, that natural and re-
vealed religion are one and the same.
The error of the jews in thinking Of
their religion as a special descent from
God was repeated in the Christian view
of the Greek and Roman religions.
1t is amusing to see some of the
old commentators ridiculing the
absurdities Of pagan mythology
while teaching Christian mythology as
Neritable truth. The Protestant inter
probation of the Bible is marked by the
same forced distinction. 1t was not
regarded as a natural literary growth
but as a book which came down from
heaven like the tables of stone to Moses.
The Puritans had the idea in their
politics. Only those who were church
members, and therefore had received
the special light Of revealed religion.
were allowed to vote. and they ex-
pressed their view Of the inadeouacv
of natural religion to save men in words
which are still retained in PRESBYTERIAN
confessions to-day, and still believed
by too many. Indeed, many of the old
Unitarian churches, which in the Uni
tartan controversy became the natural
heirs of Puritanism, are still hampered
by this erroneous distinction in a double
form of ecclesiastical organization in

church, and which was originally A
