The Famous Mind-Reader, Washington
Irving Bishop, Succumbs to Hysterlcal
Cataiepsy.
NEW YORK, May Washington Irving
Bishop, the mind-reader, died shortly
after noon to-day at the Lambs Club,
West Twenty street, of hysterical

While giving an exhibition of his we'll
known powers at the dinner following the
monthly gambol" Of the club last night,
at which Clay NJ. Green, the dramatist,
presided, and at which many we'll
known actors participated, Mr.. Bish-
op was prostrated. The famous
mind-reader had come from Philadelphia
as guest of the club, and was asked dur
ing the dinner to illustrate his power OF
psychology. He had performed his we'll
known dagger feat, which he concluded
by pretending to stab Louis Aldrich, the
actor, who occupied one of the seats at
the table. Subsequently Mr.. Bishop re-
ouested Mr.. Green to think of a word and
he Bishop would name it by placing
his hand on Green's forehead Be-
fore he could conclude the feat the
mind-reader was seized with catalepsy.
Dr.. Irving was called and pronounced the
attack hysterical catalepsy. Mr.. Bishop
was removed to an upper room and ff-
teen minutes later put to bed. He recov-
cred shortly and persisted in concluding
his mind-reading feat. He cid so, and
while in the act, at a. M, he was again
stricken with spasms and after that be-
gan sinking. Drs. Lees and Irving re-
manned with him all night. He expired a

country Gentlenlan.
Vegetable life is less understood by the
public than that of animals and men. 1t is
no wonder, therefore, that Quacks abound
who prescribe their nostrums as sagely as
if they really knew Something One of the
most common notions of these fellows is to
bore holes into the trees, and, after insert
ing sulphur or some other compound, plug
it up, relying on the flowing sap to take
it into the circulation. AS well open q
mans veins and inject medicines into
them. Trees have roots, which are their
mouths, and anything that is good for
them placed in the soil anywhere near,
these roots will find. Repulsive and even
the throat of animal or man, but we know
no way in which tree or plant can be
forced to take anything that is not for its
good. Its instinct as to that Is never at
fault.
There can be no doubt that coal ashes
spread under fruit trees are often very
helpful, and as they show little or no ma
nurial value, there is often difficulty in ex-
planning their good effects. One way they
help is to make a mulch. Coal ashes are
light, and the fact that they have not much
manurial value makes them all the better
for keeping down grass, which depletes the
soil of the moisture that the trees need.
Three or four inches depth of coal ashes
spread under trees keeps the soil beneath
moist and cool. If they are spread on sod
they kill the grass, and this, with the de-
caying roots makes fine feeding place for
the roots of the tree. 1t is probable, also,
that under this mulch the soil itself under
goes important chemical changes, fitting its
manurial elements for absorption by roots.

Without Special Features.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 1.
The conditions of trade at the opening of
the last month of summer are in no essen
tial particular different from those that
have characterized it throughout the
month just closed. Dry goods maintain a
healthy tone. with a local trade that's fairly
active and steadiness in prices that
augurs well for the future. Groceries are
very steady, and all staples maintain the
frmness that has characterized the market
throughout the season. General produce
is in abundant supply and most articles are
cheap. Good eggs and butter are still
scarce and bring full prices, while there is
an abundance of inferior offerings that are
very hard to dispose of; Fruits and veget-
ables are in superintendent supply.
