A Minneapolis reporter has discovered q
mares nest. He has solemnly written, and a
local paper has solemnly printed, and tele-
graphic news-gatherer has solemnly trans
mitted by wire to the east, the fact that Wash
ington Irving Bishop once revealed to a COM
mittee of physicians, under pledge Of secresy.
how he performed his wonderful cabinet tricks.
in duplication of the spiritualistic mediums.
These people. like many others, evidently
never knew of, or have forgotten, the begin
nings of Bishops career as public entertainer.
At least dozen years ago he gave
public exhibitions in New York city, sx.
posing the methods of Anna Eva Fay, the
Davenport brothers, and other artists in their
line. He would first go through long program
of feats just as the mediums performed them;
and then, throwing away the curtain and turn.
ing the lime lights full upon himself. he would
repeat the performance in the sight of the
audience. The medical men who gave hin,
pledges of secrecy about facts which he had
already spread before the world in the most
open manner could scarcely have read the
newspapers.

The acciden. of happening upon a name al.

The accident OF happening upon a name al
ready in use was all that prevented the organi-
zation the other day, under the general laws OF
the state of New York, OF a stock company to
supply the chairs in theaters with automatic
long to devise new title. but it may take
longer to find manager adventurous enough
to give its scheme trial. The nickelin-the-slot
business is already somewhat overdone, and its
invasion Of places of amusement should be care
fully guarded. The opera-glsss idea isnot bad,
for probably three out of five theater goers are
obhged to use some artificial aid to vision in
order to watch the stage and the actors with any
success. But if we are going to have eonfec-
Non-boxes for ladies, shall the line be drawn at
automatic TASKS for gentlemen? The thirsty
male is entitled to some consideration as well
as the female caramelinebriate. And when the
cravings of the stomach in both cases are salts
fed, there are other material wants which
will demand attention. The gentleman who
suffers from drafts will want skull
cap. and the lady who has a cold will need an
extra handkerchief; grandma will feel sighted
If pair of reading-glasses are not at hand to
enable her to consult her program, and grand
pa, who finds the waits tiresome, would gladly
drop nickel for copy of the evening paper.
Umbrellas. overshoes and gossamer coats

is no telling, indeed, to what lengths this busi-
ness may extend when 1t has once got fairly

Objection number two has been raised to the
imposition of the new death penalty IN New
York state. The first one, as may be remem-
bered, was that during the interval last wear
between the adoption of the electricity law and
the date of its going into operation there was
no statute in force in the state prescribing the
mode of executing capital sentences. The
second is less technical. and turns upon ques-
ton Of fact rather than OF law. Counsel for
the murderer kemmler, of Buffalo, has raised
the point that death by electricity is one of
those cruel and unusual punishments' whose
infection is forbidden by the eighth amend
ment to the constitution of the United States
and the first article of the constitution of the
state Of New York. Unusual it undoubtedly is,
rs must every punishment be for time; to
rule it out simply on this ground, however,
wonld be to put final check upon all progress
IN the art Of discouraging crime. Whether il
Is cruel or not is another matter. In the
opinion of most men of science it appears to
be the very reverse, as compared with the
bullet. the axe, or the rope; and certainly
there Is less that is repulsive to the refined
mind and that caters to morbid appetites about
this form of judicial death-dealing than about
any other which has prevailed from the DAYS of
the cross and the stake to the present time.

Our able and brilliant contemporary has un-

correcting and polishing the language of other
American newspapers that the latter must in
common courtesy seek occasion to return the

One Of Governor Hills strongest objections

time when workingmen go out TO vote. The
charge Is true. And it is further lamentable
fact that the bill does not incorporate the ten
