A Mesmerist's Joke.

Several well-known citizens wers
talking together yesterday in the bill
lizard room Of the United States hotel,
when Carpenter, the mesmerist, came IN
to see if the bill poster had left any OF
his programmes Two or three gentle
men began to POKE fun at the professor,
and intimated that there was some trick
cry in his performance. Finally The
mcsmeric operator got upon his dignity,
and offered to give free exhibition,
then and there, of his skill. He said he
would so place one of the party, when
under his influence, that when he Gar
penter) had caused the subject to grasp
his own nose, he could not leave the
room without taking his fingers from
his nose. Tho wager was accepted, and
one Of the party, a gentleman from
Windsor, gave himself up to the infiu-
ence of the mesmerist, who placed him
by the side of ON iron post or pillar, told
him to close his eyes, and made few
passes over his face. He then took the
gentleman's arm, brought it around the
post, and put his nose between his fin
gers. A few more passes, and Carpenter
said, NOW, sir, you cannot leave the
room without taking your fingers of
your nose" The victim opened his eyes
and at once saw the point, not of his
nose but OF the joke-for he was Obliged
to let go the hold OF his nasal append
age in order to let go bis embrace OF the
IRON post. Hartford Times.

Some Curious Law Cases.

An interesting question in crimina
law was raised by a recent trial in
England. A man and his wife, after
their sorrows in whiskey, agreed to
drown themselves in water. With this
purpose in view, they threw themselves
together into the river. The husband,
firmly resolved to commit suicide or
perish in the attempt, succeeded in ac-
comprising his purpose, and was
drowned. But the wife was not so
be tried for her lite in a court of law.
She was charged with the murder of
her hus band, on the ground that she
had consented to his killing himself.
The lord chief-justice charged the jury
that if two person agreed to commit
suicide and only one of them succeeded,
the survivor was guilty Of murder. The
jury, however, found that after eight
days of earnest drinking the parties to
the agreemen were not capable of form
ing a definite intention to commit
suicide, and accordingly acquitted the
woman. This was not novel case. A
similar one occurred as early as the
reign of James /. A husband having
said to his wife that he was weary of
life and would kill himself, she replied
that if he did she would also. He there,
upon got some poison and mixed it with
a drink. of which they both partook.
The husband died. but the wife saved
her life by taking an antidote. She was
afterward tried for murder, but was ac-
quilted on the ground that, being the
wife ofthe deceased, she was not free
agent, but had acted under his control.
Another case of this kind was tried at
the Old Bailey in 1928. A man and a
woman who had been living together,
but were not married, agreed to destroy
themselves, and went one night to the
Thames for that purpose. How she
same to her death was matter of dis
pute. The Indictment charged the pris-
oner with having thrown her into the
river. But there was some evidence
showing that she had accidentally falle.l
into the water, and that he had Plunged
in for the purpose of rescuing her. The
jury found that both had gone to the
river for the purr ose of drowning
themselves, and returned verdict of
guilty. The case was afterward con-
sidered by the law judges. who held
that g if the decease threw herself into
the water by the encourageme tent of the
prisoner. and because she thought he
had set her the example, in pursuance
of their previous agreement, he was a
! principal in the second degree, and was
uilty of murder; but as it was doubt
! FIJI whether the deceased did not fall in
by accident, it was not murder in either
of them" The prisoner was thereupon
recommended for pardon. Still another
case of this kind was tried in London in
1888. This also was the case of man
and woman who had been living to-
gether as husband and wife without
having been pronounced such according
to the forms of law. Being in poverty
and distress, and wishing to die in
each others arms" they agreed TO take
poison together. Sue died, He recoY-
cred, and was convicted of murder.

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY
Senate


The first regular session OF the Forty-sixth
Congress began in the Senate by Vice-Presi-
dent Wheeler's calling the members to order
at twelve o'clock. The secretary was directed
to notify the House that the Senate was in
session, and Senators Bayard and Anthony
were al pointed a committee to join similar
committee on the part OF the House to wait
on the President and notify him that both
houses of Congress were in session and ready
to receive any communication he might choose
to make -. At I:45 2. 81. the Senate commit
tee to wait on the President reported that
they had done SO, and had been informed that
he would at once communicate to Congress q
message in writing. Immediately after the
committee had reported, the President pri-
vate secretary appeared and delivered to the
Senate the message, which was read by the
clerk. AT the conclusion oil the reading Mr..
Ferry rose and said that the sorrowful official
duty devolved upon him of announcing to the
Senate the death OF his late colleague, Zacha-
riah Chandler. It was not his present pur-
pose to speak of the character and services OF
one SO long and SO notably member OF this
body, but at some suitable time he would in
vite the Senate to express, by resolution and
by eulogy, its sense OF the irreparable loss the
nation has sustained in the death OF SO dis
tinguishsd citizen. As mark OF respect to

Ths newest ribbons are in stripes OF
diagonal bands of velvet, alternating
with satin of bright colors and punches

A novelty in American silks is q new
design in pompadour stripe of blue alter
mated with old gold. The stripes are in
the form of a mario twisted chain.
Paniers take the place of the tunic OF

shape of the skirt itself. Most frequently
they are formed of the basques of the
bodice, or of the short skirt Of the polo

Fashion authorities are disputing
about the polonaise. 1t is to be rein

imported costumes, trimmed with FUR
