Blue Laws That once Illuminated Connecticut’B Statues. The story of the so-called Connecticut “Blue Laws’’ is told in a history of colonial times written by the Rev. Samuel Peters, once pastor of a church in Hartford in revolutionary days. Here are some of Peters’ bluest laws, all of which are identical, in vital sense, with old colonial en-

actments:

He says: ‘‘I do not find any indication that this statement is true, and Trumbull says it is false-” Anyhow, it is by no means a monstrously blue law as compared with some of the blaek-and-blue ones already quoted.

miS. ANNIE BESANT.

This Loader of Theosophy Contemplating a Visit to America.

One© the Wif© of a Clergyman from Whom She Separated Because of Her Radical Views—What She lias Accomplished.

Since the death of Mme. Biavatsky Mrs. Annie Besant has been the acknowledged head and front of the theosophists. Tits theosophists may believe anything with regard to religion, but the vast mass of them agree on one point, and that is that the great religious teachers were men who had reached perfection through having lived many lives on earth, and that they constitute a secret brotherhood, from which members arc sent at intervals tc teach humanity. As Mrs. Besant is said to contemplate a third visit to the United States in the near future, it may be expected th^t the agitation oi the peculiar religious theory will soon take new life. Viewed from any aspect. Mrs. Annie Besant is a strangely strong woman. Born in England, of Irish parents, her childhood was spent in an atmosphere of pure religion, and, upon attaining the age ot young womanhood, she was of an exceedingly devotional nature. With a strong inclination for the cloister, she was diverted from the purpose of seeking seclusion in a nunnery by the belief that she would accomplish more for religion by marrying a clergyman, and at twenty she became the wife bf Ucv. Frank Besant, brother of the novelist, Walter Besant. She soon discovered that her husband’s life did not conform to the lofty ideas of perfect religion which she had formed, and resented tho disappointment by not only refusing to go to church, but by resisting his authority as a husband, and finally becoming a heretic. The result was a separation, then a divorce, and. after that, all sorts of trials and troubles for the woman, which culminated in making her a leader among the socialists of London, a co-laborer with Charles Bradlaugh in promulgating the doctrines of infidelity, and subsequently the disciple of and then the successor of Mme. Biavatsky as the leader and teacher of theosophy. • But Mrs. Besant s life has not been barren of good results, tihe became the champion of the poor in London, and by her tongue and pen did much toward ameliorating their condition in life. Mho procured for the overworked and underpaid match girls such reforms in their work and wages as materially improved their condition. It was due mainly to her agitation that John Burns was given a scat in parliament, and under her guidance tho working people of London were organized, with the result that many improvements in their social condition followed. During this period of her labor she blood one night at the head of an army of workingmen in Trafalgar square and when a regiment of soldiers charged upon her force with fixed bayonets, she stood her ground, remarking they had a rigl’.t to be there. Her bravery won for her the admiration of all England. After this Mrs. Besant became the pupil of Huxley, and under his tutorship studied science and philosophy. She first visited this country in March, U91, and delivered several lectures. In 1893 sin- made her second visit as a delegate* of the theosophists in the congress of religions at the world’s fair. Her contemplated visit is for the purpose of delivering a series of lectures in the leading cities of the country.

Ca.-tt-Cfm-Sep-a-Wfn-Cha Married to Uuch-i\i-N'oora-Cha’i at St. LouIh. Cara-Chu-Scp-a-Win-Cha, a Bannock Indian widow of 10, was married tho other evening at the exposition to Unch-Ca-Noom-Chah (Little Bear), a Bannock bravo. Both have been on exhibition in the Indian village since the exposition opened. The bride lost her husband only a few months ago during the so-called Bannock uprising. The woman has a papoose about G months old and her brave declared he would not marry her unless she got rid of it. She tried at first to give it away, but the people do not want a thing they can get for nothing. Then Buck Taylor suggested that they raffle it off, tickets being placed cue ■dollar. They went like hot cakes, more than 1,000 being sold. The ceremony was very interesting. The bridegroom took the bride on his shoulders and crossed an artificial stream, depositing her at a tent door. He then went to his tent. They afterward appeared and Mrs. Buck Taylor read the marriage ceremony from Hiawatha. The big chief of the tribe then pronounced them man and wife.

nf "Tlnn-y’tTl. The St. Paul Pioneer-Press gives a summary of the recent state census, which shows that the present population of Minnesota is 1,573,350, a gain of 271,524 since 1890. The greatest percentage of gain is'shown by those counties in the pine forests of the northern part of the state, in the Sixth congressional district generally, the district showing a gain of 44 percent. Theng1'icbituiui ceetioil, Cinblucilig tin - western half of the state, and comprising the Sixth and Seventh districts, shows a gain of about 25 per cent.

Some InstanoeH of the Klftcacy of Obeying Queer Orders. The London Spectator lately had a clever article entitled "The Tyranny of Coincidence.” The example shown is of a lady who was driving outside of Athens. When the horses were halt-'d one of the team refused his oats. The Greek coachman insisted that the horse was under a spell. The young English lady had an “evil eye.” The man told Miss Symonds to spit—that was the only cure. The young woman was forfeit to go through the unladylike performance, and at once the horse took to his feed. “The coincidence rivitod the chains of superstition upon the driver tighter than ever.” Many coincidences of a similar character must occur to the reader. Here is a Mine: A child was told to put a fourleaf clover In his left shoe, anil was assured “that he would be sure to find something.” The little boy did so, and had hardly moved out of his tracks in a large grass-grown pasture before he found an old half-dollar of an ancient elute, evidently lost years before. The child was not superstitious, and fortunately the parents Were not. The matter of coincidence was explained to him, and among other things he was plentifully supplied with four-leaf clovers, but he never found anything. The origin of superstition associated with amulets or any material objects must owe its being to just such coincidences. Among those who are not educated it may be that the tyranny of coincidence does exist, but it should not hold with those having sound minds. We all have, however, a dark chamber in our brains, and it is there that the owls and bats of superstition flap their wings. RUN GREAT RISKS. Insurance Companies Are Chary About Kelmmrinf Delayed Ship*. Reinsuring risks on vessels long overdue and supposed to be lost is a game of chance in which speculative marine underwriters have been indulging. One of the vessels on which such big odds have been taken, says the Philadelphia Record, was the British bark Commander, which sailed on April 11 from Chittagong, India, for the West Indies and the Delaware breakwater, and has been given up as lost. Both vessel and cargo were insured as ordinary risk at the rates then current for vessels trading on long voyages. After three months had elapsed without the arrival of the vessel the original insurers placed their risks with other companies, paying twenty guineas premium and escaping the payment of a total loss. Those who took the new risk became alarmed at the continued absence of the vessel, and to protect themselves they reinsured the vessel and cargo at forty guineas premium. As the loss of the vessel now appears to be beyond doubt those who last tool: the risk will be called upon to pay n total loss. The British ship Munster sailed in ballast from Rio Janeiro on May 10 for Newcastle, N. S. W., and is believed to have been lost off Cape Horn. She is now being reinsured at eighty guineas premium. The ships Lord Spencer, which sailed from San Francisco for Queenstown on April 9, and the Star of Austria, which sailed from Santa Rosalia on March 25 for Falmouth, are believed to have been lost, and Die vessels and cargoes are being reinsured at seventy guineas premium. AN ENERGETIC NEW WOMAN. She Cim Htnke Her Way in the World and Look Out for Herself. “I don’t take much stock in these new woman ideas,” remarked a man from south Georgia the other day, according to the Atlanta Constitution, “but I saw one to-day I would like to have in my corn field in fodder season to pull fodder. Say, that woman was a .Tames D. She saw a street car about a block and a half away and made up her mind to cntch it; and she did begosh. She made a plunge for it and whistled for the conductor to stop the concern. The conductor didn’t think she would ever reach the car and consequently did not stop. But that woman was one of the up-to-dnters, and she had different notions from those of the conductor. She ran like a rabbit, and it wasn’t long before she had planted her tiny foot upon the step of the retreating car. “I felt disposed to applaud iter for vltiu feat, hut about that time she reached up and pulled the bell cord and stopped the car herself. “Tho conductor and motor-men looked up in astonishment. ’I simply want to wait for my dog to catch up,’ she replied, to their inquisitive glances. “Now, nil I have to say is this—that if that Vvoni.tU is a new woman, we need more of them to run this country. We need them particularly in the corn fields.”

The collection of colonial relics for the ladies’ exhibit at the Atlanta expoait ion has a curiosity which seems to be proof positive that Gen.

This relic in a large solid silver cup with the date 1790 upon it, and by its appearance is was without doubt made about that. time. It bears the followinir Inscription in fine letterineiustunder the rim: “A premium from the Agricultural Society of South Carolina to Gen.
