The Tropical Fruit Trust Not Likely
to Succeed.

New YORK, September 1.-The report
that trust had been organized by the
tropical fruit men of New Orleans did
not create much concern among the
banana importers of this city. George
d. Richardson, the selling agent of the
Atlas line of steamers, which bring to
this port an average OF eight cargoes oi
bananas per month, stated that he was
aware of an attempt on the part of Ger.
tain English firms to organize big
trust for the control OF the tropical fruii
trade, but he did not believe it could
succeed because of the fruit being perish.
able. Ii bananas could be stored like
sugar, oil or goods Of that character, the
trust might cause some alarm. The
English trust embraced the construction
of ships capable of carrying from so, 900
to $4,000 lunches Of bananas hung up.
At present the largest vessels were able
to bring only 1900 punches in layers.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1888-03-24

Some friends were talking of an
old couple not long since, and de-
scribing their lives. They have toiled
and denied themselves persistently
for long years, and now that they
have come close upon the evening of
their days, the habit of lifetime is
fastened upon them, and though they
count wealth by the hundreds of
thousands of dollars, they still econ
omize to such an extent as to almost
deny themselves necessary comforts.
The wife is cripple from rheuma-
tism, and the husband almost insane
with fear of the poor house. They
may have enjoyed their life of hard
labor, devoid of all pleasure and rec
reation in a way; it may have been
a pleasure to see the dollars accumu-
lating and their wealth growing day
by day, but it would seem as though
an existence governed by the desire
for riches alone, with no other object
to attain and no relief or comfort
given to unfortunate fellow beings
might be placed in the category of
misspent years and looked back upon
with regret when the wealth is gained
and the blessings of health and hap
piness gone forever. Economy to
certain extent often becomes neces-
sity, either from reverses in fortune
or where it is needful to make a
small income cover a multitude of
wants. In such cases it is always
better to make virtue out of neces-
sity and the brave man and woman

Peter Anderson. of Terre Haute,
is tremendous eater. He says that
once i'll Chicago he went into res.
taurant and bargained with the pro-
prietor for all he wanted to eat for
fifty cents. After he had eaten enough
for half dozen men and called for
more. the proprietor offered to refund
the fifty cents and pay him 81 if he'd
quit eating. He quit. But it is not
as an eater that Peter shines most,
He claims to be the world champion
water drinker. He can easily drink
half a gallon in fifty seconds, and he
has drunk five gallons in five hours,
and thirty gallons in dav. This
beats the record of an ordinary horse.

Experiments in Mesmerism.

A distinguished professor, speak
ing of his experiments in mesmer-
ism in the columns of a scientific
paper, says: "1n this way great
variety of suggestions can be pro-
duced, not only in the brain properly
so.called, but in all the special senses.
Presenting to a somnambulist leaf
of paper perfectly white, l say to
him, Here is photograph of me-"
He Immediately sees my portrait on
that paper-sees it so plainly, so
truly, that if shuttle that particular
leaf with any number of leaves ex-
actly like it, he will readily recognize
and pick out the one upon which his
brain shall, in accordance with my
assertion, have impressed my photo
graphic image. So, too, with regard
to hearing or to taste. We may cause
the sOmnambulist 10 hear concert
of harmonious sounds where absolute
silence reigns; we can make him
drink the bitterest liquids, which he
shall deem to be delightful bever-
age. The sensibility,b both general and
special, is also lulled to sleep in SOM
nambulists. at least in those that
keep the eye closed but when by
definite eXcitation or suggestion the
operator has summoned that sensi-
bllity to quit the apparent apathy in
which it is sunk, the awakening is
comparable to an explosion. The
subjects accuteuess of sight and of
hearing is extraordinary; he will see
and hear sights and sounds that he
could hardly distinguish in the wax
ing state owing to their distance.
This supersensibility has given occa-
sion to the belief in the power of
somnambulists to see objects at enor-
nous distances, or through Opaque
bodies, and the like. The truth is
that in the somnambulist every sense
is exalted. and the same holds good
as to his muscular strength. We
have spoken of the strong hold the
magnetizer has On the subject. Well.
let the subject be woman posses
sing as little physical strength as may
be. Let several persons stand be-
tween her and the operator, and let
him summon her to come TO him.
She will struggle with them if
they oppose her movement. and in
doing so will display a surprising de-
gree of strength"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1888-03-24

There is no longer any question
about the removal of Libby prison to
Chicago. The final transaction in
the deal has been completed, and the
building is now the property of a
Chicago syndicate whose purpose is
to transplant it in that city by the
LIST of June. The parties interested
declare that it will not be converted
into chamber of horrors, but THAI
it will be made an interesting place
of resort, alike unobjectionable to
Northern and Southern people. To
show the friendly feeling of the lead
ing citizens of Richmond toward
this project it is announced that a
number of them have signified their
willingness to come to Chicago and
deliver addresses at the opening Ger.
emonies.
