THE CHICAGO PHENOMENON.


1t is very old proverb that truth is
stranger than fiction, and yet those who
have endured the horrors of reading
about those fictitious mOnstrosities,
JEKYLL-HYDE and ARCHIBALD NAL
MAIsoN, did not expect to witness a
truthful realization of the capacity of a
human being. to live dual part, such
as the court and the jury witnessed
when young HEN RY MUNZER was
brought into Chicago court room to
be examined on a charge of insanity.
According to MUNZER's own statement
he was veritable DR.. JEKYLL and
Mr.. HYDE, and all the while retained
a consciousness that he had two natures.
Science and religion will be brought
into an active contest in an endeavor to
furnish an explanation of the phenOme-
non. To the minds of great
many people the incident will
be con frmatory of what the Scriptures
tell of how demons used to take possess
sion of human beings, and, driving out
the better nature, convert the person
into real devil. There are recorded
lliSlduCCS NuCIC pOOl
seSsed creatures besought the Savior to
relieve them from their torment, which
goes to sustain MUNZER's position that
he was conscious of his duplex character.
This will be the religious view OF this
extraordinary case. Scientists will en-
deavor to show that the peculiar hallu-
cination which has overShadowed the
unfortunate young Chicagoan is the
result either of some malfornation of
the brain or of the accidental bursting
of some blood vessel, or the breaking of
some cell tissue in the neighborhood of
the brain, and the probabilities are that
these savants will insist on splitting his
head open while yet alive and taking
out the brain for examination, as was
done in the case of the mind reader,
BISHOP, in order to convince the world
of the correctness of their theory. But
plain everyday people who take no
stock in the supernatural, and but very
little more in the sO-called science of
this age, but who form their
opinions upon common sense
view of everything. will speedily
arrive at the conclusion that an explaIa-
ton of the mystery can be found in the
young mans vivid Imagination. There
is really no faculty of the mind which
is so prominent in its influence on mans
nature as Imagination. Our reasoning
powers and judgment are useful in re-
vealing much knowledge of right and
wrong, and in solving the knotty prob
lens of life; but 1t is reserved for the
Imagination to touch the heart and
arouse the feelings. In this realm the
Imagination is almost boundless in its
range. The unfortunate Chicago youth
has studied the fiction of DR.. JEKYLL
and Mr.. HYDE until he imagines him
self a counterpart, and is as honest in
his delusion as the majority of the other
fools in this world,

THE TANNER SYSTEM.

Some people are always envious of
the better fortune of others. There was
more than one man out at the races
this week who would much rather some
other fellow had made his mistake of
betting Oh the losing horse. Then some
who look away to the Potomac are
quibbling and harping because some of
the lucky people. under the broad and
lavish TANNER, are patriotic or Repub
lican enough to aid him in disbursfng
the surplus by mutually rerating their
own pensions. For instance, in the case
of the chief of division, the meannesS
of former officials was exhibited by
raising his pension of S4 a month to $50.
TANNER's confidential clerk was found
deserving $4,000 back pension, and
others have shown a generous spirit
that they are anxious to keep from the
public eye. As an example to outsiders,
and to show that there was 10 pent-up
Utica in the business, the records of the
portly Senator MANDERSoN, of Ne
braska, were looked up. He was a
millionaire. drawing 5000 salary,
and so far as known, with no
physical detriment derived from the
war. He would never think he was
being wronged by the pension office,
and ask for higher rating. AS general
object lesson his case was peculiarly ia
vorable. So he is rerated, his pen
sion raised and $4,000 arrearages
handed him in draft. With
such precedent, where could
there be pensloner not entitled to re-
rating and back pension? Yet there
are people not IN range of this munifi-
cence who insist that there is alarm in
high quarters at this policy, and that
congress will be called upon to investi-
gate the subject at its next meeting.
They fail to realize that the full elaL J.

Garroting a Havana Bandit.

Juan VictOriano Machin, a white
native of Cuba, thirty-tour years old,
famous bandit, was publicly garroted

prison. He was married the previous
night in the condemned cell to his para
mour, there being heartrending scenes,

perately, shrieking for mercy for the
sake of his three infant children. The

Forced at last into banquillo by
dozen soldiers, he was, when fixed,

toner was a herculean negro. The
priest on the scaffold was hurt in the
scuffie. and the military were unable to
restrain their tears. The mounted pO-
lice subsequently charged the mob;
many persons were hurt in the crush.
Machin's body was, after several hours
exposure, removed by the fraternity of
"PaZ y Caridad," according to the an
Gent Spanish custom. The case OF
Machin is specially remarkable, the Gull

man, was Swallowed and captured by the
Havana police, not by Guardia Civil.
The dead man is said to have been in

participant. Other bandits in Jail will
be shortly garroted, and those still at
large will probably follow soon. There
is great satisfaction, the correspondent
adds, in town town and country at the
course of events.
