BISHOP, THE "MIND READER.

Irving Bishop, whose feats In
"nlind reading" have made him
widely known, died at New YORK
City club house May IL, under ex-
traordinary circumstances. There
were present many men of promi-
nence In New York society, and the
evening bud been passed until late
hour, when Bishop, who was an in
vited guest, was asked to give al
exhibition Of his powers. lie asked
the secretary of the club to think ot
some word in the clubs books. Tn,
secretary selected the name of Mar
paret Townsend, found In some
records, fixing the word "rownsend"
In his mind. and noting just where
1t appeared and hid the book.
Bishop, blindfolded, had tn" secreta-
ry's hand placed upon his own, and
then led the party down stairs. lie
found the book without difficulty,
turned over the pages rapidly till he
came to the page where the name
appeared, then, skimming his fin
gers over It, gradually settled upon
the word itself, although he was not
then told what the word was. All
this had been done while he was
blindfolded, and Bishop had been
getting into very exclted state.
On being led back up stairs, the
word was found In manner which
would demonstrate that 'muscle
reading" ny IL IL called, had moth
ing to do with the performance. He
asked all TO stand back, and, insist
ing that the secretary should think
intently Of the word, stood apparent
ly In state Of half consciousness,
the bandage covering his eyes and
other parts Of his face. Being hand
ed pencil and paper, without an in
stant's hesitation he wrote, Clown
send" not I'm natural form, but as
the word would appear written on
paper and reflected In n mirror.
"That Is IT," he exclaimed, and, as
the persons about burst into mp
plause, Bishop stiilened out and
sank back unconscious.
A few minutes past noon his
pulse and breathing ceased, and he
was apparently dead. For tear that
Il might be only u cataleptic trance,
powerful electric currents were mp !,
Piled, and for half an hour some
'emblance of life was maintained,
but at last the current ceased 10
nave any effect, and the doctor said
Bishop was Enthusiastically dead !
The body was removed TO an under =,
aking establishment, where, in the :.
'fternoon an autopsy was made. =,
The suddenness with which this !,
utopsy was made, In absence of :
from the friends ~ rela-
ives Of the deceased or from the '
oroner, has caused great feeling. " "
his is heightened by the fact that y y
Bishop, his wife and his mother y "
'ere opposed TO any autopsy, and v
specially desired that In the event .,

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

"The Legislature of Maine is deluged
with petitions in favor OF granting the
municipal vote to the women of the
State. They are signed by people of
both sexes, many of them prominent
citizens, and the agitation on the sub
ject is vigorously prosecuted. The ad-
vocates Of the new system point proud
" to the facts that women can now
vote at municipal elections in Kansas;
that they have the full right of suffrage
in Wyoming, and that they are en-
Titled to vote on school questions 10
fourteen States. The latest reports
from Maine lead to the opinion that the
petitioners for municipal suffrage for
the women Of the State have good
chance of success in the Legislature.
That no doubt will suit the women of
Maine, and possibly pleases the women
