SUPREME COURT SECRETS.
Usually Well Kept, but Sometimes
Have Become Public.

The guessing that is going on relative to the
Northern Securities decision emphasizes the fact
that the secrets Of the United States Supreme
Court are usually well kept. A lot OF rumors
have been put into circulation regarding the
Lutte and definite information from the judges.
There have been few cases in the history Of
the Republic where decisions Of this court have
leaked out prior to their announcement from the
bench. Probably the most famous instance Of
this kind was the bred Scott decision. 1t is a
matter OF history that Chief Justice fancy gave
to President Buchanan a confidential tip as to
what the decision in this case would be. At any
rate. the President used the Information in his
inaugural address. to the great establishment Of
the members Of the Supreme Court. Another in
stance OF information relative to a decision
leaking out was furnished in what was known
as the quicksilver mining case. Another rather
famous case Of the same kind was a suit in
volving the Pacific Railroad Company in which
Jay Gould was interested. AS all the parties

h MILITZ'S DISCOVERY.

A California woman, Mrs. Militz by name.
is the originator and expounder of a new
theory which. if it can be put in general
practice, may produce wonderful results.
Briefly. her theory is that miracles can be
performed and the operations of nature
controlled merely by hard thinking. OF
course. only an expert can do this, and
the expert must have acquired what Mrs.
Militz calls the rich mentality" She
claims to possess it.
The new cult does not. like some others.
deny the existence of disease, pain, physi-
cal suffering. etc. Il does not attribute
these and other evils to imagination. 1t
admits that they are realities, but claims
that by the proper e~xertion Of the rich men
tality-that is. by hard, concentrated
thought-they can be warded off. 1t is
claimed that a sterile piece of ground can
be made productive. a sick person be cured,
a person exposed TO disease be rendered i'm
mune. the effects of drought or frost avert
ed. gra~sshoppers and caterpillars put to
flight. all by the exercise of rich mentality.
The discoverer of this new process of
performing miracles is mainly anxious TO
do good in the world. but she cannot af-
ford to work for nothing and board herself.
Even rich mentality cannot make a living
income out of hot air. So Mrs. Militz has
resorted to delivering lectures and giving
lessons. The lectures are free, and a course
of six lessons costs only IS. II her theory
is true. and If she can impart even the rudi-
ments OF il in six lessons, a single course
ought to be worth millions. Her lectures
are calculated to give her hearers a great
desire to become possessed of the rich men
tally. In one delivered in an Eastern city
a few nights ago she told about a CO.
operative farming scheme in California i'm
which a number of Englishmen each plant
ed fifteen acres in potatoes. At first and
for a while they all did well. but the dry
rot came and blighted them. All the farm
ers resorted TO the usual means OF saving
potatoes. but the only one that got a crop
was one who applied the rich mentality
process. While all the rest We're digging,
spraying and worrying he sat on the veran-
! da and thought. lie brought his rich men

Beauty, who was awake and prowling about

creasing odor. He ran TO his masters bedside
and awakened him. The matter was speedily
rectihed. and the family then realized the hidden
danger that had been upon it-Brooklyn Eagle.

To the Dick Swivellers of this or any other
generation Japan is the land Of the blest. For
credit abounds there and cash is never demand
ed. In shops, hotels, everywhere, there are
provided paper tablets with tear-of leaves and a
pencil. Instead of paying over money the Gus
toner is asked only for a chit-the amount OF
his purchase and signature. On Offering TO pay
a barber for a shave the answer is: I'VE can't
bother making up cash now. Give US a chit
and wait till the end OF the month" For the
same simple chit lodgings, meals, drinks, clothes,
etc, may be obtained. Only the railways de-
mand cash, and among the Europeans in Yo-
kohama only tourists carry money. Every one
else makes his way with chits. Two years are
generally allowed for the fulfllment Of these
promises to pay, and three years are the limit
But some keep on chitting for ten years, though
the custom is to pay monthly or yearly. De.
spite the manifold temptations thus afforded,
the number Of chits dishonored is relatively

tality to bear on his potato field, and
got a splendid crop
Another case was that of a gardener in
California, whose gooseberries were at
tackled by army worms just as the crop
was nearing maturity. As good luck would
have il. Mrs. Militz visited him about that
time. He told her of his plight, and she
assured him that she could save his goose
berry crop. She told him there was a law
of mind by which all evil and destruction
could be averted. and il he had no objec-
ton she would try it on the army worms.
He cheeTfully consented. She brought her
rich mentality TO bear, thought hard for
several hours. and by the next morning
every army worm had disappeared from the
place. This story is not based on mere
rumor. Mrs. Militz tells it herself.
Another case which came under Mrs.
Militz's observation was that of a woman
who owned an orange orchard in Califor-
MIA. During last winter, when there was
danger of a black frost, the woman's neigh
bors built bonfires in their orchards to keep
the frost off. but as there was no man on
her place she could not do this. But she
had taken some lessons in the rich mental
ity theory, and, having faith in it, she
stayed at home and thought as hard as she
could, sending her mentality out over the
orchard all night. Every one of those who
built bonfires lost their crops, but that of
the woman who practiced rich mentality
was %uninjured. Mrs. Militz gives other in
stances of the application of her theory
quite as remarkable as those named.
1t is evident the t~heory-or, as its discov-
erer calls it. "a law of mind"-possesses the
possibilities of great development and wide
applica ton. Almost any person would be
glad to possess so valuable a secret, and
Mrs. Militz's terms for imparting it-only
s. for a course of six Iessons-seem extreme
~ cheap.
