SPIRITUALISM AS A SCIENCE / Noted Writer Explains Why in Hit L Opinion the Growing Cult Should Be So Considered. I call spiritualism a science, for H iu jrieia >is results Dy expert merits which could be repeated, testec and compared on the accepted laws ol evidence; to attain "a world of spirit that took shape and form and practlca Intelligibility, in ordinary rooms ant under very nearly ordinary clrcum stances." It Bald: "Seeing Is bellev 1ng, handling Is proof." It did not re ^ quite you to take the medium on trust It had no priesthood, no dogmas; foi itr central statement, that the living could have lnteicourse with the dead was not u truth to be received on tht word of another, but a challenge whict whoso would might verify. Moreover though some have nimiHnnaii i' **** name of religion can rightly he at tached to spiritualism, It dooe without doubt bring Its adepts back froir doctrines of the lectureroom or ab struct theory to that primitive condl tlon of thought in which religion flndf a main beginning. For religion Is the problem of the "next world," call II how you will. And spiritualism un w dertabes to solve the problem by the scientific method, exactly as the chem 1st answers our Inquiry?for instance: "Dooe radium exist?"?by putting o sample of the thing sought Into oui hands. Neither tho chemist nor the medium is a priest, any more than the class or the Inquirer can be termed disciples., Experiment, in both cases remains the ground of affirmation.? William Barry, In Atlantic. SILLY IDEA THAT DIES HARD Average Man, In Throes of Dlecon tent. Finds Solace In the Phrase, "Pass a Law." In the course of an interesting die cuaalon In the department called "The Interpreter's House," In the American Ifagaxlne, appears the following: "When something happens that we do not like, what is the first thing we say? 'There ought to be a law against it.' Every tlmef That hs the Unconscious tribute we all pay to the queerest, the most naive and stnpid superstition In a world where all superstition dies hard enough?that all you need to do to stop anything la to pass a law against It "No amount of experience, apparently, will free thefntnds of men from the Incubus, the hoodoo, of this extraordinary superstition No mattei ye * what the Issue! If you want to stot gambling, spitting, combinations of capital or of labor, prostitution, college fraternities, the high cost of living, arson, saloons, monopoly In restraint of trade, the turkey trot, burglary, tips, walking on the grass?whatever It is, there Is only one thing to do? pass a law against It. Then every body will be contented, everybody will believe that the offense will cease at once, or at least as soon as you have gotten a sufficient number of people in Jail. Only get enough laws passed, and. above all. If you can ^ only get enough people In Jail, you ^ have realized the average man's millennial hopes." No Standardized Dress. It la a pleasure to stamp despttefully on the praise of Prof. Walter Sargent of Chicago for the Chinese custom of "one established style of dress for women." Life might be cheaper nnder such a dull gray provision of costume. But It would certainly not be worth living. The whole trouble with costumes today Is that they are too much alike. Instead of designing a dress that Is becoming to her own dimensions, proportions and other endowments of nature, the average woman accepts the . fashion of the hour, whatever It may * be?larsie sleeves, small him n<-? waist or whatever the fashion gods decree. What la needed la not riore standardization. but more Individuality In dress. A declaration of Independence Is the crying feminine need of the hour?not a uniform designed by any board of economists.?New York Trlbone. "Either Way.'* A certain colored family of Atlanta was gfeatly cast down by the longcontinued illness of the head thereof; but they were unable to extract much Information In the matter from the 4| <jnalut old family physician, whose vag tries they had put up with for years. One day the mother made a laat attempt to get some definite announcement from the doctor. "IX) you really tMak he will recover?" he wea asked. "Well," said the doctor, clearing bis threat and assuming a most solemn all, "1 know bow you feel with the wttiter coming on and all; but tt'e too nana rat to tell.

I MUST NOT "PUFF" Ton mnm v I Iowa Supreme Court Hands Down an Opinion of Some Interest to Real Estate Men. t The legal view of "puffing" In the - sale of real estate Is expressed by the 1 supreme court of Iowa In Wakefield vs. f Coleman. In which the court rules that t language which might be considered I expressions of opinion or mere puffing I will often amount to representations - or warranties when the property ie at - a distance and the buyer relies on the - seller for the facts. The court, in re. versing a judgment of the trial court r dismissing a complaint to set aside a ; contract for the sale of real estate, , said: "It is quite likely that the court. ) below reached its conclusion upon the i theory that Coleman's statements were , within the limits of the allowable of s opinion, in which a seller may Indulge - with reference to the property prot posed to be sold without becoming 11i able for false or fraudulent representa. tions; but we think the circumstances - hero appearing will not justify the i application of that rule. The prop> erty he was offering to sell was in a I distant state. Not one of tho pur. chasers had ever seen or had any > knowledge whatever of its condition, - quality or value. Language which might well pass as expressions of oplni ion or words of mere praise were the < property present, in view of both buy> er and seller, will often amount to rep? resentation or warranty when the propl erty is at a distance and the buyer , must rely upon tho seller for the -, facts."

Cardinal Bourne, Roman Catholic . archbishop of Westminster, England, > in a recent sermon favored enforced ( military service for all men over twenty-one who had not, prior to attaining , that age, trained to a required stand- , i ard of physical manhood.

That lawyers seem unable to make their own wills has again been Illustrated by the fact that the will of Lord Llandaff, the noted English Judge, who died a month or two ago, has been found In a very Incomplete condition. Probably the most extraordinary case of a lawyer's will that led to many legal difficulties, was that of I^ord St. Leonards, who died In 1875. lie boasted that he would leave behind him an absolutelv rwwf*** ^ rw..wv? win ?UU testament, and spent years In drafting It, To secure this precious document he had a box specially made, which never left his room except In his or his daughter's custody. But when the box was opened # after his death. In 1875, It was found.rto be empty, and the testator's Intentions* had to be proved from the recollection of Its con. tents by his daughter, who had acted as his amanuensis. Jenny Llnd's California Debut. At Monterey, Oal., formerly a part of Mexico, and ceded to the United States during the Mexican war, Is the first public building built In California and now a broken-down, weather racked ruin of adobe, relates the Health Magazine. In this building Jenny LJnd made her first California debut, and when the gold the enthusiastic miners had thrown upon the stage after her performance was gathered up It was found to fill two fivegallon oil cans?about twenty pounds of gold, and equal In valne to about $5,000.

't" ti< tic Judge Aldricli Holds Kiglit ol' llxtraditioii Does Not Apply to l-*iiy>i- tj? tive From Insane Asylum. Concord. N. II., April 14. Ilarrv j Kendall Thaw's petition for a writ of " habeas corpus was granted by Judge |M Kdgar Aldrieh, of the United Stales District court, today. The court he'd, however that no order would be is- ' ( sued for Thaw's discharge from custody until arrangements had been ',a |)(> completed to take the case to the United States court of appeals. f rc Thaw's petition for admission to bail the court left undetermined tak- nu itig the ground that it would be more appropriate' for this to the passed up ' 1 on by the Supreme court. The result of the decision is that m Thaw's guardianship and condition K? will be unchanged for the present; M but that his petition for a writ of habeas corpus will go to tlie highest court in the land with a decision of the lower court in his favor. KXH AUSTIVK DISCUSSION. ^ The decision discusses exliausively ^ the various phases of the case preBen ted in the United States court, concluding: "My conclusion is that constitutional right of extradition for crime ve does not reasonably apply to such a situation as this, where the right of control by the demanding state desides in a degree of custody based on insanity, and where its papers upon {.lt their face negative the idea of ner - on Ronal criminal responsibility. It is further thought that it would involve f| force<l of fictional reasoning to make a fight of the character of the one in question the kind of a fight con- an tempiated hy the constitution as a basis for extradition. "It results that an order will be yo made sustaining the writ and that mf at] the petitioner he discharged from the " extradition process under which he eel was held at the time his petition for de habeas corpus was brought upon conBtltutional grounds. GIVES TIME FOR APPEAL. "It has been understood from the beginning that whichever way this ease was decided by me, it would be taken to the supreme court. Therefore, no formal order will be made "jj1 either sustaining the writ or dis- \G( charging the petitioner until the ag grieved party has had a opportunity mc to perfect its appeal."
