Says New York special to The On
einnai 7imes-Star. Many persons who
marvel at the wonderful accumulation
of money possessed by some of their
fellow citizens do not reflect upon the
fact that these accommodations are often
due TO close economy in expenditures.
Your reporter lately came across two
extraordinary instances of economy on
the part of the two milIionaires. the
late Alexander T. Stewart and the late
VIM. H. Vanderbilt
Il shaved Mr.. Stewart" said Fifth
Avenue Hotel barber, for fifteen years
steadily when he was a patron Of the
Metropolitan Hotel barbar shop. In all
that time he never once thought of pre-
senting a gratuity. He paid the same
price that any other man would for
shave or hair cut, and that was the
end of it II was even more the custom
then than now for regular patrons to
tip their regular BARRIERS once in
while and particularly at Christmas or
New Years. Therefore Mr.. Stewards
omission was all the more singular.

Chicago dispatch: General Manager
Jeffreys, of the Illinois Central road, in
company with Messrs. Sargent, Mona
han, Hoge and Murphy, called at the
Chicago, Burlington g. Quincy offices
to-day. Sargent acted as spokesman in
behalf of the late engineers and firemen
of the 80" road, and urged that the
whole matter be left to arbitration. The
railroad company officials said that such
proposition was inadmissable at
the present time and the situation of
the new men and the terms on which
they were engaged were fully explained.
General Manager Stone urged Sargent
to have the strike called off, promising
to consider applications from the old
men and give situations to as many of
them as he could. Grand Master Sar-
gent. after the conference was con-
cluded, left for his home at Terre Haute,
leaving the local situation in the
hands of Chairman Hoge, of the Bur
lington grievance committee, The lat
ter said tonight the conference left the
situation practically unchanged. They
could not consent to having their men
taken back in patches. He denied that
there was any truth in the rumor prev
alent tonight to the effect that the
strike had been called off.
Late tonight report was received
Mt the rooms of the brotherhood that all
the yardmasters of the Burlington road
except three had left the service of the
company. There are in all about TWEEN
ty yardmasters, in night and day crews,
and it is their knowledge of the local
geography of the yards which makes
them valuable. Their positions are par
ticularly important at this time during
the rush of freight which the raising OF
the boycott has caused. This blow, fol
lowing the switchmen's strike, just at {
moment when it would produce the
most harm, makes it look as if the fight
we're not yet over.

HypnotIsm and Crime.

Hypnotism as an aid to crime has
been variously discussed III France
from both the medical and legal side,
with the general conclusion that legis-
lation Is needed to cover the most
palpable employment of 1t. The fact
that hyplotised subject can take and
execute a criminal suggestion made by
another. and yet be really innocent Of
any immoral intent. is beyond all
doubt; and this fact has led observers
to the conclusion that the blame must
rest upon the gIver Of the suggestion.
An additional precaltion which the
true originator of the crime might
take would be to give suggestion for
bidding the subject to reveal to any
one the name of the suggester or the
fact of the suggestion. On the con-
trary, he was to say and feel that the
act was committed OF his own accord.
This complicated the legal aspect of
the question very seriously; but fur
ther experiments have shown that the
instigator of the crime would not be SO
entirely safe, after all. 81. Jules Lieg-
eois. who has studied most carefully
the legal acts of hypnotism. suggested
TO lady subject that ste take a pistO
and shoot q certain Mr. o. She acted
out the suggestion perfectly, not know

the crime and defended her acton

In the meantime, grandpa, from the

Grandpa was very sorry for him. Tell

he told him about it; and he, also,
bought Robbie a hat

MIFFLINTOwN JUNIATA COUNTY WEDNESDAY. NOvEMI

was in hopes we might capture the
big male lion which had disturbed our
camp the night previous. He was
monster, had a very heavy name. and,
as we could see by the spoor left BE-
hind, his right fore foot had been hurt
at some tune. When night came two
lions began investigating our environ
ments, but neither was full grown Up
TO eleven O'Clock the big fellow had not
appeared, and the natives argued from
this that he was lying beside some game
he had killed, and would be certain To
go after water before visiting u.s. Such
WAS probably the case. 1t was little
after midnight when We heard sound
between5a scream and a roar, and the
natives began to shout and explain that
the noise was uttered by the hon as he
felt the earth giving way under him.
Daylight had hardly begun when
scouts went out to the pit to investl-
gate. They speedily returned with the
news that We had trapped one of the
biggest lions in Africa. We had to take
ropes and cage over, and when L
reached the pit the lionwas sitting on end
and looking up at the crowd as If greatly
puzzled. He had made a great fuss
and tired himself out, the pit being so
deep and narrow that he had no chance
to use his powerful muscle IN a leap.
Having placed the cage, we ran one
end of the ropes through the bars and
made slip-nooSss at the other. For a
full hour the old fellow fought the
nooses off whenever they touched him.
but by and by we got one over his head
and another under hind leg, and up
he came In heap, choking, biting,
striking and gasping. We hauled him
in the cage and released the ropes, and
when lie got his wind he was SO mad
| and disgusted that he slumped down on
the floor and shut his eyes and cried.
When we had time to look him over,
we found one of his feet crippled. He
must have cut it open on a sharp rock
a long time before, for it was fully
| healed up, though it bothered him tC
/ walk. He was the Identical chap who
! had almost leaped into our camp, and
his weight, as recorded at Amsterdam
was fourteen pounds heavier than any
/ Ion had shown for three years. In tb'
/ course OF the month we got two others
both full grown. and all were sent of
from the coast III good condition.

Well Dressed Berlin Women

We have been little surprised at
the number of well dressed people, or
rather at the few badly dressed people,
seen on the streets. L never saw 50
many neatly attired girls, and L don't
think that the women of any large city
on the globe are SO uniformly pretty.
One coming from America naturally
expects to find the women.of Germany
very large, bony or heshy. II you come
here with that idea in your head you
will be disappointed, for the Prusslan
women are petite, as rule, below the
average stature, well formed and q1lcz
in their movements. The men, how
ever, are large, muscular and somewhat
gross in appearance.

Flower Gardens for Show.

Oswald Crawford, in The FOrtnightly,
has a charming article on Summer
Time in Rural Portugal" He gives
an account of the survival of the fittesU
in the noble gardens that are found as
relics and reminders of Moorish taste.
He says that ''it humIllates his national
pride to contemplate the pleasure gar
dens of his English friends; even to
pass by tram, in summer time, through
the land and see no garden that is any
refreshment to the spirits, save those
of the cottagers :" In other words, the
northern garden is a show place foI
flowers, bat in the southern garden
flowers of infinitely less importance
than the walks, the shades of branching
trees, the greenery of leaf and spray,
the cooling breeZe5 In summer, the
warmth of the sun in winter. and at all
seasons the golden fretwork that the
sunlight makes upon the ground through
overhanging boughs." We are young
in a good many ways; but in the art OF
the beautiful we have most of all TO
learn. Such notes as Mr.. Crawford
gives us are especially valuable, not to
England only, but to America. We
have asuperabundance OF show garden;
without a thought of comfort and re-
| .reshments. The only need OF Amer
cans is recuperation-

INDUSTRIAL schools are springing
up in various parts of the country, but
not before they are needed. The ex-
tinctIon Of the apprenticeship system
has rendered II extremely difficult for
American boys TO become masters OF
trades, though the country Is full OF
third rate workmen, and foreigners are
rapidly filling the places requiring
skilled labor. 1t is Ugh time that
something be done to increase the num-
