The Number Thirteen.

The superstition that 10 is unlucky,
which is traced back to a sacred source,
meets with as many contradictions as
combinations. The fact that the horri-
BILE fire in the Paris bazaar started at
booth ID was telegraphed all around the
world, whereas little notice is attracted
by Nansen's success with 10 men. At
one time 2 was a dreaded number in
England, owing to the dynastic disas-
tiers to all monarchs second Of their
name from Ethelred II to George IL
Yet Napoleon's number through all his
life was 2, and who could wish for
better luck than came to Goody Two
Shoes Or than that which results at
times from having two strings to your
bow?
Three, which since the days of Py-
thagoras has been the divine number,
shows that it is not invariably fortu-
nate, for, though the fates- are three, SO
also are the furies The graces are
three, but SO also are the judges in
hades and the heads of Cerberus. Then
there are the records Of three disloyal
tribes in Welsh history; there are the
three robbers in Orion's belt; there
were the three tyrants at Athens, and
3 in mythology is as unlucky as it
is divine. just so clearly as it has been
shown in time that the unlucky 3
can be lucky and that the pleasant
3 can be unpleasant the followers of
the late Captain Fowler would show
that the unlucky ID can be the luckiest
number there is. So we may as well
regret his departure, while we wish
success to his associates. Boston Jour

An imperial rescript, bearing the sig
nature of the czar and dated at Darn
stadt, has just been issued, granting
plenary pardon to 200 Lutheran pastors
of the Baltic provinces, who on trivial
and vexatious charges of having trans
crossed the ecclesiastical laws had been
deprived of their benefces and forcibly
deported to distant parts of the empire,
where they have been compelled to earn
their livelihood as best they could. Many
of them have likewise undergone impris-
onment, their transgressions consisting
in most cases in having administered
Lutheran baptism to the children of
Lutheran fathers or mothers who had
married members of the Greek church.
It is Pobiedenotsoff, the procurator of
the holy synod, who is charged with
the authorship of the prosecutions now
brought to close by the czar's edict.

For some strange reason or other the
chieftainship of the London detective
department at Scotland Yard seems to
develop tendencies of a distinctly reli-
gious character. The former head of the
bureau resigned his Office, which is
worth So, 600 year and allowances, in
order to devote himself entirely to mis-
sionary work in India, and now his sue
cessOr, Robert Anderson, has published
an extraordinary book, entitled "The
Silence Of God, in which he ascribes
the spread Of atheism to the failure Of
the Omnipotent to intervene to prevent
crime. This theory is all the more re-
markable from the fact of its being
voiced from the head of department
devoted to the punishment and investi-
cation Of crime. Mr.. Anderson expresses
the opinion that the Divine liberation

In France, but more especially in
Russia, a widespread belief prevails
that the popular hero, General Skobe-
left, nicknemed 1.-THE White General, !"
is not really dead, but that he will re.
appear when his country has need Of
his sword. According to the story, it
was merely man resembling him who
was buried, his disappearance from the
scene having been due to causes of an
international as we'll as dynastic char
acter. It may be remembered that his
alleged death at Moscow has always
been shrouded by considerable amount
of mystery. 1t is implicitly believed by
the rank and Ale of the Muscovite army
as well as by the peasantry that the
general had hand in the last Chinese
japanese war, commanding a Japanese
regiment under false name. His most
intimate friend, Baron Hetrovo, now
dead, was Russian envoy in Japan at
the time. His return was announced at
Vladikavkas the other day, and several
thousand moujiks and soldiers assem-
bled at the railroad station to welcome
him, dispensing when the train arrived
without him, disappointed, but conf
dent that he would assuredly return
some day.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. June 3-The
progress in the consideration of the tariff
bill in the Senate to-day was not so en-
couraging as yesterday, partly because the
bill was not taken up till half past and
partly because four Democratic mem bers

other IN contesting almost every para
Sraph and speaking In support of amend

On the other side of the cham Der there
was no response 10 these frequent motions

every amendment offered by the Demo-
cratic Senators and defeating them by the
usual majority, 8 10 II As rule Emery
OF Louisiana voted with the Republicans,
and Cannon OF Utah and Pettigrew of
South Dakota with the Democrats. The
only exception to the rule of silence on
the Republican side was in the case of
Foraker, who spoke in favor of the pro-

The net result of to-day's session was

eight pages. as compared with sixteen
pages disposed of yesterday.
