1t is worthy of note that in tho con.

of tho one.J Judge and two-J Judge court
consumed the tilnu in arguing thas the
one was superior 10 the other; but 1T
does not appear that they undertook to
SHOW that either was superior to the
three-J Judge system which they resolved
TO discard. Petitio principii seaned

course on that point
During the current half century each
of these two projects, Notwithstanding
its, glazing defects, has, from time TO

urged By lis advocates as substitute
for the three-J Judge tribunal upon
which Mr. Clayton founded our exist

and discussed, each has uniformly
been erecten by tho people oil Deiaware,

embodied by Mr.. Clayton in our pre-
sent system, with The auxiliary CO.

An Oxford special TO the Public
Ledger says: Edward Porter of Lower
Oxford, shot a catamount in neigh
boring woods, few nights ago After
the first shot the wounded animal
sprang from a tree towards Porter,
when his dog jumped it, but was
clawed and crippled by the savage cat.
1t mounted the tree again, when Porter
shot it in the heart. 1t weighed "a
pounds, and measured 3 feet inches
from tip to tip. Residents OF Big Elk
valley have for some time reported
hearing strange cries in the woods at
night, doubtless made by this wildcat.
The shooting of catamount in

SHOWER OF SALT.

Peculiar Phenomenon in Salt Lake
City Scientists Are Trying To Ex-
plain.
Salt Lake City Correspondence Chicago Chron-
icle.
The last few days whenever snow
has fallen white sediment has been
left wherever the snow touched. There
has been much speculation as to the
actual cause, the local scientists have
been and are now divided upon that
point. There are those who insist that
the sediment was taken up from the
bosom Of Great Salt lake. There are
others who believe the deposit is sui
phate of soda, which is thrown up on
the shores of Great Salt lake during
the winter by the action of the cold
weather on the briny waters. Be that
as it may, the houses facing north the
street car windows and every piece of
glass exposed has become incrusted
Pedestrians who happened to be out in
the storm did not notice anything out
of the way until their clothing dried,
when it was discerned that the ap-
parel was literally sprinkled with what
appeared to be salt. The deposit is
saline nature. That was discovered by
the application of the tongue. 1t is a
phenomenon that frequently occurs in
Salt Lake City, and especially during
the winter season, but good deal Of
work was necessary to remove the
stains left on the windows There has
not been snow storm within the last
ten days when the deposit of the sedi-
ment has not occurred. The savants
are still guessing.

GREENWAY,s CHECKMATE.
A Move by Which He Expects to
Block His Opponents.

Special to the Globe
WINNIPEG, Man, Feb. l6-It is
learned from trustworthy source that
Premier Greenway will in a few days
make another clever move, calculated
to strengthen himself and supporters
throughout the dominion on the school
question. One of the strongest objec-
lions to the present school law is the
provision for formal religious eXer-
cises, which are held by opponents of
the law to be Protestant. If this were
removed the schools would be thor
oughly secular, and much of the Roman
Catholic grievance would be removed
So much, at any rate, that there would
scarcely be any excuse for remedial
legislation by the federal parliament
1t is limited, too, that an understand
ing was arrived at between Greenway
and his political friends in the East
to make such amendment, and thus
insure the defeat of the remedial bill
now before the house of commons. The
first practical -stepaiin this direction
was made on Saturday when the adj
visOry board of the department of ed
ucation took the matter up at a spe-
cial meeting and almost unanimously
recommended the change. The only
opponent of the proposal was the arch
bishop Of Ruperts Land, the head of
the Episcopal church.. Although the
archbishop's opposition is serious
matter 1t is not thought the advisory
board will be deferred from making an
official report to the government in
favor of doing away with all religious
exercises in the schools. On this rec
ommendation GTeenWay will take &C
ton at the present session of the Man
itoba legislature. The advisory board
is composed of representatives of near
ly all the Protestant churches. With
this amendment it is claimed there
will be no opponents of the Manitoba
school law except the Roman Catholic
clergy.

MRS. LEASE IN THE PULPIT.
Her First Sermon Preached at

WICHITA, Kan, Feb. 16.-The Cen

preach her first sermon. She took for
her text:
The twenty verse, ninth chapter Of

life 1t is not a dream, far away earnest

day reality, the solitary and sublime func-
lions of which alone can make men equal
to their duties and responsibilities.
For long centuries the church stumbled
and struggled through strife and error, thun-
dering forth but half truth-'Th0u shalt
love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart
and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind'-and while this half truth was preached
to the world, the robes of religion were
stained with blood, the Sabbath air was vexed
with hair-splitting. Theological controversies

TRAVELLING IN PAIRS.
John Archibald Ferguson Much in

There was a great surprise for the clerk

two men walked in and signed their names
exactly the same, John Archibald Ferguson
He thought they were springing deal
ON him until they proved by means of their
business cards that each had clear title
to the name They were in no way con-
nected, and had met by chance the day be-
fore in Duluth. One Of them travels for the
Schultz Betting company. of st. Louis and
the other is travelling freight agent of the
Michigan Central railroad, and halls from
Detroit. The st. Louis man walked into the
Spaldng hotel at Duluth, Friday, and regis
tered. The clerk handed him letter from
Michigan that bore his name. He knew of
no one in that state who would write to him,
and said the letter did not belong to him

and signed his name on the register imme-

name also John A. Ferguson. The two

SHE DAREs NOT HOPE.
Mrs. Nansen Fears the News May
Not BE Authentic.

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Feb. 1s.-Wide
spread as is the interest over the whereabouts
Of Nansen, an interest extending today over
the whole world wherever the telegraph and
cable can reach, 1t nowhere be more
keenly felt than in the heart of his devoted
wife who lives in this city, whence the ex-
petition in the Fran sailed on June a. 1893
Having in mind that the first news of HIM
self that the explorer could by any possibility
transmit would probably be directed to the
wife, a representative of the Associated Press
has called upon Mrs. Nansen to inquire what
intelligence she has of her husbands where
abouts.
She has received no word from her hus-
band directly. But she is profoundly hopeful
that the news, which first came from Jakutsk
and has since been corroborated from other
sources, Is authentic and that DR.. hansen has
in fact, solved the secret OF the North POLE
1t must be added however, that there is a
reservation of doubt in Mrs. Nansen's mind,
despite the hopefulness that buoys her up.
The absence of direct news to herself leaves
the room for this doubt. She will not allow
herself to take assurance of her husband s
good fortune until she hears it from himself.
She fears the possible fall from this high point
of happiness should there be subsequent dis
appointment
Scientists here, whose sympathy with Dr.
Nansen and the objects of his expedition is
very vivid and cordial, believe from the news
received that DR.. Nansen has really reached
the coast of Siberia and is returning from
the pole.
