CELEBRATE THE DAY.

Pioneers Day has been observed as
a general holiday. The prlnclpal places
Of business have been closed, and en-
ployes have taken rest or enjoyed a
trip out OF town, to the canyons, the

This is right and commendable for
several reasons, One is that this ami

ed these desert regions and the work
of redemption on this slope was begun
Another is that every legal holiday
should be observed, for the benefit Of

JULY FLOODS,

The month Of July Is very often char
acterized by cyclones cloudbursts and
floods in various parts OF the country,
and this year presents no exception
to the rule. on the contrary, the de-
structlon wrought by floods is unusual
" heavy. BY clodbursts In the state
Of New York several lives have been
lost, and property has been destroyed
amounting to about 100000 Baltimore

property to the amount Of perhaps
5000, 900. and left a number Of dead In
It's path. The Mississippi river over
flowed its banks, from Keokuk Ia, TO

ings, and driving their stock out Of the
path Of peril. Thousands who but a

The periodically recurring floods
along the great water courses of the
country should be one Of the most con.
vincing arguments in favor OF the pro-
posed building of reservoirs whore the
surplus water can be stored up for use
when and where needed. In all prob
ability such reservoirs would be an eff
cient means Of protecting the lowlands
that now are lmperled every year dur
ing the hot season This has been
pointed out repeatedly during the long
discussion on national irrigation
schemes. but some Of the opponents of
this policy are slow to realize It's wis.
dom. And yet, It should not be hard TO
see, that a system of protective reser.
volrs will In the long run be cheaper
than yearly floods. by which millions Of
dollars worth OF property Is destroyed

LAST YEARS IMMIGRATIoN.

The complete returns for the fiscal
year, ending June 80, as now published
show that the total immigration for
the year amounted to 6is743, an in
crease of l60,S25 over the preceding
years immigration. And Of the en-
tire total, more than 70 per cent Is
credited to Russia, Austria Hungary,
and Italy. In this those are not IN
oluded who came without the inten-
ton Of remaining, and this number Is
given as S2,O55, swelling the total Of
arrivals for the year to ilS,79S.
The radical change in the character
OF the immigration is viewed with a
certain degree OF alarm. Italy and
Austria Hungary, which were fifth and
sixth In the record Of 1882 are now
first as sources Of our immigration.
Germany, England, Ireland and the
Scandinavian countries, which were
then foremost are now supplanted by
Russia and southern Europe. 1t was
an immigration largely OF families 20
years ago. II Is now largely an imm-
grafton OF Individual workmen OF a

A STRANGE CASE.

In ancient times the belief In de-
monlausm was common both among
The educated classes and others but
lately that belief has generally been
relegated to the domain Of suporstl-
ton and credulity, with few excep-
lions, people In modern tines do not
believe In the possibility Of evil spirits
taking possession OF the bodies Of Nv
ing persons Press accounts Of a re-
cent case OF such possession are there
fore highly interesting.
According TO a brief article in the
current number Of Public opinion, re-
ports came from an orphan asylum OF
Grezes near Lalssac. and a reporter Of
the Paris Matln went to the place to
Investigate the matter 1t Is claimed
that he obtained his information from
absolutely reliable sources.
What he found wGs that there is at
the asylum, a Sister Saint Fleuret who
is the sufferer from a peculiar afillction.
AZ times she Is thrown into paroxysms,
and then she uttcrs piercing shrieks.
She believes that she is toimented by
an evil spirit. and when the paroxysm
is over, ;nore Is found on her body
where The suffering is most intense,
either a burn Of the skin or marks as
Of the imprint of teeth. The other Sis
ters Of the asylum. as well as most Of
the elergymen believe that she is bodily
afflicted by the great enemy Of man
Kind although the physicians declare
her case 10 be one Of hysteria and auto
suggestion.
There are some pcculiarltlcs connect
Oh with the case which TO the common
mind appear very extraordinary. one
Is that she manfests horror Of re-
ligious objects, such as crucifxes,
books Of devotion, etc. She feels their
presence even when they are brought
near her secretly, carefully hidden, and |
sne Immediately PUSHES at them to des-
troy them.
Another regularity Is that, although |
she is entirely without education, she
at times Is able to converse with per-
sons in different languages She speaks
Greek, Latln Russian. English. Ger
nan and responds without hesitation,
N whatever language she may be ad-
dressed.
These particulars are. as stated, said

does not ;he case Of the unfortunate
sister throw considerable light on the
stories of demoniacs that have come
down 10 us from antiquity. And Is
not, after al, the statement that she is
possessed Of an evil spirit Just as
and az scientifically cor
roct and satisfactory, as the assertion
that her sufferings are due to hysteria
and auto. suggestion? How anybody by
'outo-suggeston' can rise above the
difficulties o. a number OF foreign Ian
guages VIII be hard to explain on any
natural principle
