A VICTIM OF CRANKS.

A Chicago lady the other day was
found unconscious IN her residence and
taken to a hospital She was nearly
starved to death, as a result Of having
embraced the teachings Of oranks. She
had been fasting for more than twenty
days. She lived alone in a handsome
house and is regarded as wealthy. The
police say that recently she Joined a
new cult" and that she almost
starved to death in trying to follow It's
teachings, chief Of which is said to be
that only few grains of wheat, pure
water, and fresh air are necessary to
sustain life. When will rational people
refuse 10 follow all kinds of absurd
teachings? We pity the heather ma
lions for their superstitlons. and
talk about the "benighted" orientals,
with their "faMrs," dancing dervich-
es," and many strange forms OF piety
but what about our own takers
cranks. charlatans, and imposters2 In
view Of the fact that so many strange
notions gain currency concerning food
and drink, the necessity OF having n
"Word OF Wisdom as a standard, is
apparent. Those who give heed to
that. are not in great danger of being
led astray in the manner that came
near costing this lady her life

SALARIES FOR WIVES.

A Chicago club woman Is said to be
advocating the adoption Of a law re-
curing husbands to pay wives a sal
AIRY. She points out that without money
Of her own to spend as she pleases' and
above ALL without absolute indepen-
dence of her husband, she never can
be "A man among men In the clubs She
might add that without her own money
she never can go about in conventions,
Iaborirg for the emancipation OF her
sisters who never dream that they are
slaves and never ask for "emancipa-
Den"
But notwithstanding these welghty
reasons, she is wrong. A wifes posi-
ton cannot be paid by any salary, no
matter how large. II Is beyond price.
II is different to that Of house -keeper,
or a mistress 70 speak OF salary for
being a wife Is not very FAR from am in
suit to the SEX
Besides, many wives now-a-d days pur-
chase husbands, or husbands buy wealth
for titles and get a wife In the bargain.
How could the salary be arranged in
such cases except by the poor husband
paying the salary out OF the wlfes
money. But that would be absurd,
There should be no need Of a law
regulating the business relations Of
husband and WIFE The wise man. par

has. and find that TO do so, Is TO the
advantage Of the family The wife,
If trusted, naturally saves. Generally
she knows how to make dollar do
it's fun service, Were II not for the
women, the laboring classes in the
world, where wages are small would

can be brought up and comforts Of

CHURCH AND ADJUSTMENTS

The Methodist conference at Los An
veles has before It question OF tar'
reaching nature--one that aItects inc
rules of discipline, and consequently
the standing Of great many OF the
young members. There is a tendency
among the Methodsts. as among other
denominations, toward greater liberty
in the enjoyment Of innocent amuse-
ments. The committee having that
matter under consideration has decid-
ed TO recommend that no change Dc
made In the rules regarding dancing
card playing and Undergoing The
vote was IS to 40, and the result was
reached after long debate But the

cause lively discussion in the general
assembly. And the outcome may pos
sibly be a compromise, making the rule
advisory instead of mandatory some
such measure appears to be called ior
by the fact that the constant and gem
orally known infractinns OF the rules
make their maintenance a matter Oh
endless embarrassment to the denom-
nation, since they cannot be enforced
The Christian world has almost learn
ed since the days Of the Prophet Jo-
semi. that there is nothing wrong In
dancing, going and other inno-
cent amusements per sc, but that these
can be abused. The question before the
conference should therefore be- not
whether to prohibit attendance az
places of amusements, or indulgence IN
harmless pastimes, but how to provide
such things for the young and protect
them from the evil influences that are
az work in the world. The bad features
of theater- performances, dancing hails
or amusement places, can, OF course
not be countenanced by any church
The advise 10 church members must al
WAYS be TO shun all evil, and all that
leads to evil. But this advice can have

Port Arthur Is now 10 all intents and
purposes besieged and its evacuation Is
out Of the question since Kuropatkins
force is not within supporting distance
and the garrison would inevitably be
cut of and captured If they sought to
escape north From now ON little be-
sides rumors can be expected from the
beeaguered ITS. Those OF Thursday,
concerning explosions for example, are
moi significant. The submarine eXplo-
slons necessary TO blow up the sunken
hulks would not have been heard at a
distance ana the report " the destruc-
tlon Of the Russian ships arose, with
far more probability from the blowing
up of buildings which had been found
to endanger the defenses on the land
side.

WOLF.HONOR,

Mr.. willard Hard, speaking to one OF
the Chicago clubs, short time ago.
used a peculiar illustration TO Impress
his hearers with the fact that the
ideal underlying the labor-unlon move
ment Is more noble even than patriot
ism. This proposition Itself would
have been heavily discounted at time
when patriotism was considered one OF
the principal virtues, but that time is
perhaps past. at least with some prom
inent patriots. But the illustration
used by the speaker was, at all events,
anything but catering. lie said that
wolves run IN packs because they know
instnctVey that only by combining
can they find food. Pursuing the COM
parison he explained that, while sell
FISH motive was at the bottom OF the
wolf-pack idea, there inevitably devel-
ops a sense Of "wolf-honor.' Unfor-
tunately for the analogy, "wolf-honor"
permits the entire pack to fall upon
any member that may be wounded and
unable to defend Itself, and devour It..
This travellers have seen time and time
again, when pursued by the hungry
beasts. II they have succeeded in dis
abling one Of them, they have general
" gained time to escape, while the pack
was tearing their wounded comrade
to pieces, Labor leaders should be
careful, lest they themselves be made
the objects OF "wolf-honor."

SITUATION AT DALNY,
New York Evening Sun.

The report that the Russians have
blown up the docks and piers OF their
magic city Of Damy which was TO be an
open port for term OF years, seems
incredible. but It Is persistent, Dalny
had no Notifications to speak Of but
the docks would have been very useful
to the japanese, affording them a SUI
perb naval base, II seems probable
that the explosions which Admiral Togo
reported several days ago were at Dali
ny and not Port Arthur, II the water
front and the town have been dlsman-
tied, it Is as If hundred millions OF
money had been thrown into the sea-
The inference would be that the RUS
slams had no longer reasonable hope
of turning the tables on the Japanese
and clearing the peninsula Of them.

sprlngheld Republican.

In destroying the docks, piers and
other valuable property at Dalny. the
Russians have sacrificed years Of labor
and a great expenditure Of money in
the building up of their chief Pacific
railroad terminal and commercial en-
trepot. Dalny was the new port which
the ears government created after It's
lease OF Port Arthur and a portion Of
the peninsula from China. No effort
has even been made TO fortify It, ana
consequently its occupation by the Jap
anese Is inevitable whenever they de-
eide to take IT, The destruction Of piers,
docks and other works seem to reveal
ON the part of Russia a settled deter
mination to fight long war If neces-
sary.

NOVEL POINT rs RAISED
Contention That Member of
Order, Under Vow, Cannot
Own Property for Herself

The five nieces of the late Patrick
Carroll. to each of whom he left only
500 in his will. have filed a contest
against the testament. alleging that
Carroll was unduly Influenced by Mary
c. O'Kelly, sister superior of the
Sisters of Mercy in charge of St.
Mary's Hospital. Practically all of
an $4,000 estate was left to the sister
The nieces, who are the daughters
of Carrolrs deceased brother, are
Mary and Margaret Carroll, Johanna
Sullivan, Elizabeth Doran and Bridget
Dawson. They charge that the tes-
tator, who had passed his eighty
fourth year when the will was made,
was unable to distinguish between the
kindness that is paid for and that
which might have been given him by
disinterested persons. In this behalf,
they say, that in 1889 he paid $1,000
to the Sisters of Mercy. whereupon
they agreed to receive him at St.
Blary's Hospital and nurse him for the
remainder of his life. The sister su-
perior and the other attendants were
very kind to him and, in his state of
TQLQQ, say the COnlcSldIllS, the hlnQ-
ness was unduly impressed upon him.
It is charged that the influence was
villfully exercised and that the sisters
refused to allow his relatives to see
Carroll or converse with him for some
time before his will was made. Then.
they say, he was induced TO believe
that his relatives did not care for
him.
point of law is raised in the con-
test. 1t is declared that the sister su-
perior is still bound by the vows Of
her order and cannot own or hold any
property as her own, but only in trust
for the order. The Sisters of Mercy,
It is contended, are an eleemosynary
society and under the law a man can
not leave more than one-third of his
estate to suchsan order. Therefore. it
is said. the will was so prepared that
upon its face all the estate was left to
Mary O'Kelly, with the intent that,
should she succeed in probating the
document, she should hold the prop
erty in trust for the order, in violation
OF the law. w. H. Barrows is attor-
ney for the contestants.
