ROUND THE REGION.

BY q mine cavein at Hughestown, near
Pittston yesterday property was damag-
ed to the extent of several thousand
dollars. The disturbed area covers five
acres of territory. Several people had
narrow escapes, being rescued from the
upper windows of their homes by means
OF ladders. 1t has not yet been deter
mined whether the cavein was due to
the fact that pillars had been robbed in
the mines or whether it was caused by
the water which had accumulated since
the strike.

DESIRES JESUITS PUNISHED.
English Clergyman Secures Rule
Under an Old Law.

LONDON, Feb. Lord Chief Justice
Alverstone and Justice Darling. sitting in
the Court of Kings Bench, considered yes
terday peculiar case in reference to
the Jesuits in England.
A little time ago a clergyman, a promi-
nent member of the Portuguese Alliance,
applied to one of the metropolitan mag
istrates for summonses against three
gentlemen for becoming Jesuits within
the United Kingdom. The magistrate re-
fused to issue the summonses, and the
sci for a rule from the Kings Bench call
ing on the magistrate to show cause why
he should not issue them.
The clergyman's claim is based on a
statute of George ", entitled IAN act
for the relief of Roman Catholic sab
iects." The act relieved Roman Catholics
from many disabilities, but one section
enacted that in case any person after
the passage OF the act be admitted or
become a Jesuit. he should be deemed
guilty OF a misdemeanor.
The magistrate refused the summonses
on the ground that the statute was prac-
tically obsolete, and that in any. case
proceedings under it could be taken only
at the Instance of the Crown. The
clergyman's counsel argued that no such
doctrine could be maintained in law as
that statute could be repealed by be-
coming obsolete.
He also maintained that there was no
crime in English law for which a private
person might not prosecute.
The Kings Bench granted the rule
asked for.

could answer that question it was barely
possible to regard telepathY as an eX-
planation OF clairvoyance or iucidity with
in e general hypothesis which sought to
explain the control OF a MEDIUMS body
in trance by the agency OF discarDate
spirits.
Assumption Not Improbable.
1t was to be presumed that an elaborate
machine like our bodies was capable OF
being occasionally used, not only by the
mind or intelligence which manufactured
it, SO to speak, but temporarily and with
difficulty by other minds or intelligences
permitted to make use OF it.
The main assumption here was that
such other intelligences existed, but that,
he confessed, was TO him a not very
improbable assumption. For, knowing
what We already certainly knew OF the
material universe and OF its immense
scope and the number OF habitable worlds
it contained-he would not say inhabited.
for evidence did not yet reveal that-but
ha bitaDle worlds, and perceiving also the
immense variety of LIE which luxuriated
everywhere on this planet wherever con-
ditions permitted. he found il impossible
to deny the probability that there might
be in space an immense range of life and
intelligence of which we at present know
nothing.
Another Class of Phenomena.
Science has a horror of the unintelli-
gible. 1t could make nothing of a caprici
Gus and disorderly agent, and it preferred
to ignore the existence of such. The
gro oater number of psychical phenomena
asserted to take place in the presence
Of medium involved nothing in them
selves extraordinary, but there Was an
other class of phenomena not sharply dis
tingushed from the former set. which
involved an effect beyond ordinary hui
man power TO accomplish-for instance,
the asserted resistance of the human
skin and nerves to fire when under re-
ligious emotion or in some trance state,
or the extraction OF solid object from
permanently closed box, or what was
much more commonly asserted the ma
terializatiop or apparition of temporary
human forms.
phenomena and the Deceased.
He had never seen any of these things
under satisfactory conditions, but the evil
dence adduced by Sir William Crookes
and others was extremely detailed, and
IT was almost as difficult to resist their
testimony as it was to accept the things
they testified.

physical movements and other physical
phenomena with the continued existence

afterward and began the practice of law

Interested himself in banking and even
tually became the president of the Bank
of Dennison. and later of the Bank of Ma
nilla, Iowa. He also interested himself in
real estate enterprises and established
the basis Of a comfortable fortune by
careful investments in Iowa farm lands.
About 1890 Mr.. Shaw began to speak oc-
casionally at political meetings. At that
time the tariff was the great issue and
he never attracted any greet amount OF
attention. All this time he was giving
the most careful attention to financial
problems which he one day believed would
be great political issue in national
politics.
Advocate of Gold Standard.
When. in 1895, the battle of the stand
ards began to rage, Mr.. Shaw at once de-
clared allegiance to the gold standard
platform. No man in the country as
suined more uncompromising attitude.
AT first he spoke in his own county, but
his fame as an expounder of the prin-
ciples of the yellow metal monetary sys-
tenn became such that he was called upon
to speak throughout the campaign in
many parts OF the State.
Nominated for Governor.
The following year Mr. Shaw gave a
great bound into prominence At the State
convention of the Republican party there
ensued a deadlock between Matt Parrott,
OF Waterloo, Iowa. formerly Lieutenant
noted Republican leader. for the nomina-
tion fer Governor. The deadlock was in
fair way to become serious when Sem
atcr Dollivcr brought forward the name
OF Mr.. Shaw. Mr.. Shaw received the
nomination, although at the opening of the
convention his name had scarcely been
mentioned and Dolliyer had been laughed
a fer suggesting it.
