SUPERSTITION hard is manifest
in the fact that
only within the last year have the At
lantic liners sailed from New York on
Friday. Previous to that period the
tradition connecting that day with ill
luck was deferred to by the steam
ship companies The incident seems
to indicate that the Friday idea is los
ing it's strength, yet it would be most
injudicious to assume that it is on
the verge of disappearing.
On the contrary. a mere casual in
quiry will show that large proportion
of people still prefer to postpone a
journey until Saturday 1ather than be-
gin it on Friday. and May day of this
year showed that many otherwise I'M
supersttious folks will not move on
Friday.
Ticket agents know that Friday tray
el is the lightest of the week and law
yers have become accustomed to people
who will not sign a contract on that
day. There are other signs and symp
toms which Indicate that Friday is
r1n
Hence. though the resolution of the
steamship owners to disregard the su-
perstition indicates that it is losing
ground, we are sE1l that more than
one generation will have passed away
before it disappears altogether. SUI
perstition is far harder than any 9th
er form of erl or to eradicate
Incidents in Pine Bluff of the past
few days show clearly that supersti-
ton still has a firm grip upon the
negro, and this is not so much a cause
for wonder as the fact that so many
white people believe in Friday i'll
Cmens.
Another superstition which a large
per cent of the White people adhere
to is that "unlucky thirteen" nonsense.
There are thousands of white people
who will not be the thirteenth person
to be seated at a table will not oc-
cupy the thirteenth room at a hotel,
or the thirteenth berth on a boat or
pullman sleeper. Thee are many who
implicitly believe in the grounding as
weather prophet, notwiths standing
the numerous false prognostications
his hogship has made There are va
rious other silly signs and omens in
which large per cent of white people
are believers, hence it is not to be
wondered at that the negro, whose
oppol tunities have not been equal to
the whites and whose mental endow-
ments are inferior to those of the
whites, is superstitious In all the
long centuries OF civilization and en-.
lightenment the white man has not
yet been able to wholly break away

complete the building, but said that
the city did rot necessarily have to
supply the amount. He said that the
contract as let would supply struc-
ture ample for the needs of the guard
Just now, and that it would be later
supplemented by the interior finish and
exterior frills contemplated by the
plans. The guard, he said, would
probably meet much of the extra ex-
pense from it's own resources.
Assemblyman Van Slyke said he de-
sired to see st. Paul supplied with an
city, and was willing to vote for the
contract and to supply more money if
needed, but the other two members
constituted a block, and finally the
matter was sent to Corporation Attor
ney Michael to furnish an opinion on.
The foundation of the new building
is completed, and now awaits the SUI
perStructure. Gen. Lambert explains
the failure of the amount on hand to
cover the full expense of the structure
by the heavy raise in prices of mate
rial and labor. Since the plans were
drawn prices of labor and material
have advanced 80 per cent, and in
some cases 40 per cent.
The building, if built after the plans,
will be the finest in the state. 1t will
be Of stone and will cover over
quarter of block Of ground. The To-
cal militia is anxious to have the work
started, so It can occupy the building
by spring. If the assembly fails to
award the contract a wooden structure
will have to be built.
