The Marabout of Morocco,

From the London Lancet.
The Marabouts or Mussulman saints OF
Morocco seem possessed of many of the
attributes of savage medicine IneE. 1t is
curious indfeed to find the Moors who In
Spain became the fathers of medieval
medicine. so retrograde in their original
habitat In northern Africa. The Mara-
bouts are supposed by their superstitious
admirers and disciples to possess any
number of miraculous powers. Their
saintliness which is often of the most
lex and questionable order. confers upon
them the power of becoming invisible
shot proof, ubiquitous or gaseous and
luminous. After dealt! miracles. especial
~ those Of healing, are worked ct their
tombs. Their relics perform cures and
resu-rect the dead, and the faithful, with
cervor peculiarly oriental, aock to their
sa-iaes 20 pray Tor health.

Amend Constitution.
MEETS WITH OPPOSITION
Representative Harrison Thinks
Matter of Weather Too Un-
important to Make Change.

The resolution to change the date OF
the inaugural from the 18th OF March to
the last Thursday In April. which was
introduced by Representative Henry OF
Texas and favorably reported from the
House committee on the judiciary. was
called up in the House today under sus-
pension of the rules. by Representative
Parker Of New Jersey, the judiciary COM
mittee's chairman.
After Mr.. Parker had read from the
committees report in exp an ati n Ct the
measure. Representative Francis Burton
Harrison Of New York took the floor in
opposition.
During the last 107 years of our his
tory" said Mr.. Harris n. "only three
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States have BEEN adopt d. These
dealt with questions which were settled
on the field Of battle in four long years
of deadly conflict, and 81 us MILL ms OF

that record the present amendment Of
fered here today is hardly entitled te

1.-The proposition is to set in motion the
most solemn machinery of this govern
ment and to amend the most immortal
document ever penned, In order to Sc
cure sunshine for inaugur alton day.
1.-The proponents of this measure look
upon the Inauguration Of President as a
show in the same class with q circus OF
wi d west parade, and not as the solemn
function which it really Is.
Representative Mann Of Illinois inter.
rupted Mr.. Harrison to ask II he didn''
think that such an amendment as was
before the House should be postponed
until the science Of forecasting the
weather should be advanced to such g
point that 1t would be possible to tell
In advance some day of the year which
always and forever would be clear.
Mr.. Harrison replied with a smile tina,
that expressed his view exactly.

told the court the silverware was stolen
late Saturday night from the apartment
of Willard L. Moore o. 1913 Clifton street,
and the police had been searching for il
and the thieves since early yesterda.
morning.
'.McCaDe gave us straight story. both
at the first precinct where he was taken
at first, and later at our precinct, said
the detective. Il corroborated everything
he told me.
There is not the slightest foundation
to believe he is telling anything but
the truth" The detective told the court
he had ascertained McCabe came mere
from Baltimore about three weeks ago
and lived at 100 I'd street, where he
rented a room until a week ago, when
his money gave out and he left.
The case was finally disposed of by
Agent Massic communicating with the
pastor Of st. Aloysius Church who took
charge of McLape.
II do not desire charity and / do not
want aims. said McCabe before he lett
the court building. Il want TO be with
my friends. Money Will soon come 10
me that will relieve my present con-
dition.''

the most part. Considerable unloading

support from bull interests after the call
