uNLUcKY TO SAVE FROM DROWNING.
Some Queer Superstitions Of People the
World Over.


World over.
1t seems strange tha4 swimmers
should be superstitious, yet it is so, nor
is it alone the small boy who sees his
companion sinking into watery grave
without attempting to rescue him,
whether he sank because no was not an
expert and got beyond his depth, or
whether he was seized with cramps. 1t
seems ridiculous to think of, and no
doubt it will save many superstitious
person from risking his own neck by
being dragged under by tho weight and
struggles Of Il drowning person to know
it Is counted unlucky and worse than
madness to try to save tho life of Il
drowning person or to resuscitate him,
as sooner or later he is bound to do you
some mean turn.
1t is another one of those old super
stltlons handed down from generation
to generation from our European ances-
tors, and of which no one knows the dor
ivation. Traces of it are found among
the Sioux and other tribes of the Indians
of the west, who seem to have inherited
that belief from their forefathers along
with so many other quaint things. They
still believe, and it's q part of their
creed, that ill hunting the body of a
drowned person You can discover it's
resting place by floating Il chip of cedar
wood, which will stop, even in the
strongest current, and turn around over
the exact spot
In Great Britain tho belief that you
must not rescue drowning person is
1.,,t 4
parts of Scotland. The French sailor
and the boatman Of the Danube bow to
the decree, together with the Russians,
and let tho people drown.
DR.. Taylor, III his "primitivo Gull
ture,' declares this lingering fondness
for this old creed is because the water
spirit is angry mt being despoilcd of it's
victim, and should the unlucky person
who has dared 20 Illustrate him trust
himself to the waters power he will
drown as sure us fate.
Tho Bohemian fisherman shrinks
from snatching IA drowning man from
tho waters, fearing the water demon
will take away his luck i'll fishing and
drown him before he gets to shore with
the would be victim. In Germany,
when some ono is drowned, they say,
"Tho river spirit claims his yearly sac
riflcc," or, ''Tho Nix has taken him. -
The belief is current not alone in
those countries above mentioned, but
the Kamchatkans, rather than help a
man out of tho water, would force him
under, and if ho should escape to the
shore no one would dare receive him
into his house or dare to give him food.
Ho is supposed to be dead after once
falling into the water.

Washington, June 19.-The trial Of Bro
ker Elverton r. Chapman, indicted last
october for refusing to testify before the
Senate investigating committee in the
sugar trust case, will not take place until
late next fall. This conclusion was reach
ed at meeting of the prosecuting attor-
ney and the defendants counsel before
Judge Cole in criminal court No. l this
morning. Mr.. Chapman did not appear
in court, but ex-senator Edmunds and
Messrs. Shellabarger and Wilson, repre-
senting him, asked for the continuance Of
the case until the next term of court. 1t
was acknowledged on all sides, they SAID
that the sugar cases would never be fin
ally terminated short of the supreme court
and ii was the desire of all parties TO
get them there readily as possible, but
that could be done as easily by having
court hearings next fall as to have them
row. The court, after some deliberation,
cCncurred in this view and Mr.. Edmunds
said he would be ready to go on with the
cases next November. They were con:in-
ued accordingly.
