FRIDAY SUPERSTITION.
The queer Exhibition of II That Was
Made in the Highlands of
Scotland.

A row of paupers' houses, very neat
" designed. was lately erected at
Aharacle. Mr. Rudd, of Ardnamur-
chan, having advanced considerable
sum for building purposes to the par
ish council on easy terms. Accommo-
dation was provided for ten persons.
Mr.. H. MACPHERSON, inspector of poor,
visited Aharacle in order TO superin-
tend the removal of the ten selected
female paupers to the new cottages.
They all occupied houses which were
in a wretched state of disrepair, yet
each of them resolutely and per-
emptorily refused to fit" In vain
did the inspector dilate on the in
creased comfort and conyeniences to
be enjoyed in the new dwellings. The
aged danes were invincibly proof
against all argument-nOr did threats
of compulsion and sheriff's warrants
have any terror for them, says the
Edinburgh Scotsman.
At length it was elected that the
dissemination TO remove was based
simply on superstition. The day Of
the week happened to be Friday; and
it appears that 10 change quarters ON
that Particular day constitutes
gross and wanton violation of all the
canons governing highland hitting
On discovering that the peryersity
manifested by the old women was
mainly attributable to conscientious
scruples," the inspector at once
agreed TO humor them, and the re-
movals were postponed untn the fol-
lowing day, when they were accom-
plished without any opposition or de-

Roger Wolcott was born in Boston July

nelia rockingham Wolcott. He is de-
scendant of the Roger Wolcott who was
second in command of the expedition of Sir
William Pepperell against Cape Breton in
1745, which resulted in the capture OF Louis
burg. Another ancestor was Oliver VOL
cott one of the signers of the declaration
of independence. Both of these Wolcotts
were governors of Connecticut. Gov VOL
colts public career began in 1877 as mem
Der of the Boston common council, in which
he served three years. Then he was elected
to the lower house of the legislature, taking
a position among the leaders and winning
distinction as a hard and trustworthy
worker. He was elected lieutenant gov
ernor in 1898, "a and '95, and upon the death
of Gov. Greenhalge became acting governor
In 1896. In the fall of 1896 he was elected
governor and in 1897 and 1898 he was re-
elected. Mr. Wolcott was always repub-
lican, but in the campaign of 1884 he OPP
posed his partys candidate for the presi-
dency and voted for Grover Cleveland. His
wife and Eve children survive him. I
