A NATURAL MEDIUM.
REMARKABLE MEsMERIC POWER DEvEL
oPED BY A YOUNG MAN IN INDIANA.
From the Indianapolis Journal.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
A few weeks ago Professor Ken
nedy, travelling mesmerist, spent a
few days here and gave nuTber
of exhibitions ct Green's Opera House.
Among those who attended was Clar-
ence n. Cheever, tie Union ticket
agent of Vincennes, Ind. Mr.. Cheever
became very much interested in the
art and resolved to investigate. Pro-
fessor Kennedy gave this subject few
lessons, more in joke than seriously.
But Mr.. Cheeve,, bent upon trial,
made an attempt to exert mesmeric
influence on a subject, and succeeded
so well that he begged the Professor
to wake up the subject whom he had
put sound to sleep. Since that cpl
sode, which was startling revelation
to Mr.. Cheever, he has been expert
menting upon numbers of his friends,
many of whom he has gotten under
control and managed as he pleased.
A few days ago his friends announc
ed that he would give test of hi.
mesmeric ability. Accordingly larg,
number of the friends of Mr., Cheevel
gathered in the dining-rooms o.
Union Depot Hotel, and the ticke
agent was called in to give an illustra
ton of his power. Mr.. Cheever at one,
succeeded even in startling himself
BY the simple passing OF his han'
over the five heads of the subjects tn
somnambulistic staLe would take hol
of them and Mr.. Cheevers power wa
manifest. He would have them pay
ing tribute to an imaginary Presiden
Harrison in the palm of his hand, sine
ing songs they never heard before
picking strawberries out of au imagir
airy strawberry patch, and smackin
their lips as they conceived they taste
the luscious fruit. After causing thel
to perform numerous antics, he gathe
ed his subjects in row and had the
sing in ludicrous, chaotic manner tt
old Methodist hymn "Shall W
} Gather at the River"
Mr., Cheever's first experience
: mesmerism wes marvellous, and
9 came out of the ordeal with only
: slight headache and little nervou
ness.

THE TILDEN WILL DECISION.

The annulment of the provision Of
Samuel j. Tildens will creating a
trust estate is a grave public misfor-
tune. 1t defeats roble projecS-the
creation of great amply endowed free
library 1t strengthens the public COZ
viction that the wit of man is not
equal to the task of framing a will dis
posing of greas estate which is GER
tain to stand the assaults of dissapoint-
ed heirs If lawyer of the reputation
and ability of James G. Carter can not
draw such will under the inspiration
and direction of such an astute, learned
and experienced counselor as Samuel
J. Tilden who then can be depended
on to discharge successfully that most
important duty?
The grounds on which the trust pro-
vision is declared invalid make the
breaking of the will especially regret
able. Mr. Tilden had seen over and
over again the folly and waste which
result from having dead hand laid
with too infexible grasp on living
changing entity, great estate. He
had reflected on the unwisdom of
obliging executors and trustees TO full
fill instructions and execute projects
which the thrifty donor would never
have carried out himself with the
changed conditions and better knowl-
: edge under which bis representatives
are called to act Perceiving this, Mr..
Tilden attempted in his will to confer
q upon his executors some of the same
discretion which he would himself
t have employed In carrying out the de-
" signs which lie was obliged by death
l. to entrust to others.
g 1t is because of this discretion that
r the device to found library is declar-
H ed void. Says Judge Van Brunt
> ale (Tilden) seems to have had abso'
, lutte confidence in his executors (Which
il is to be regretted) and therefore the
ia exclusion of that necessary defiteness
for executorial or trust discretion Cal
At not be substituted under our system

A TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR.

Talking of typographical errors, the
Burlington, vi. Free Press does not
remember of seeing of a more horrible
specimen of this class of blunders than
one which appeared in Massachusetts,
paper not long ago. AT the close of
an extended and highly eu'ogist'c c
notice of a deceased lawyer the report
er wished to say that "the body was
taken to Hull for interment, where
reposed the remains of other members
of the family BY mistake a letter

Hull, changing the sense OF the
sentence to such a degree that nc
extra copies of that issue q the papel

DO PIsh Suffer Pain,

HOih the Naturalist.
There is a widespread notion that
fish suffer very little pain in comparis-
on with the higher vertebrates, But
it is probable thar fish suffer pain to a
much greater degree than it suits the
angler to believe, "a fly fisherman OF
thirty five years experience" says the
sentiency in fish depends very much Oh
where he is hooked. If the hook il
struck into horny part, no pain seem'
to be felt; II it is fixed in the par
of the mouth corresponding in man t.
that between the outer gum and tn,
cheek, he is quite sure that the fisl
feels very acute pain, for, unless kille,
first it quivers horribly when the hoo
is removed.

DON'T DRINK NEW BEER.

From ne t-Adulteration Journal.
No premature beer is fit for con-
sumption. A beer under four months
old is as injurious as any slow poison
ever consumed. No matter how pure
the material is from which the beer is
made, it is, however, an impure beer
until it has had four months to purify
itself by eliminating certain yeast
germs, carbonic acid gas and other
foreign matter.
A we'll preserved old ale, it seems,
would be much better to use than
the new beer, where malt liquors
are needed, or, perhaps better vet foI
the sick, malt tonic or extract OF
malt or good grape wine, until good
beer is produced. In Bavaria the Law
enforces the aging, as well as the pur
ity of beer, and for such laws we ar,
always contendiag here.

Is EDISON A HUMAN FIBND9
THE WIZARDS LATEST INVENTION IS Ola
BoLICAL IN ITS POSSIBILITIES.

From the Ne,o York Press.
Thomas Edison the phenomenal in"
ventor has reached critical stage in
his career, and it would be strange
sarcasm of fate if his latest invention
should make him positively abhorrent
to the growing generation Over in
his laboratory at Llewllyn Park ia this
invention. 1t has been tried and
found perfect, and it is a Photographic
clock which, instead of Ginning the
hours calls them out at every quarter
in a voice full of clearness. 1t may be
fitted with any set to suit the purpose
for which it is intended. To report
er 1t was exhibited yesterday.
The inventor was CHEEKY aud play
ful as he always is. "The clock" said
he, sis an improvement, and if it were
only on the market now it might save
you reporters a good deal of worri-
ment. For instance, say yol are at a
political meeting with dozen speakers
carded. They are to have each half
hour. You know what fiction that is.
But now, if you had a clock like this,
see how " it would work, and here Mr..
Edison placed e set within it. He
pointed the hand to the quarter Of an
hour and voice came ringing out :
'This speaker is half through AT
the half hour the clock blurted out
''The audience will please not encore.
The gentleman now gives way to an
other"

A New Submarine Boat.
THE RECENT INVENTION OF THE FRENCH
FOR WAR AT SEA.

The Goubet, the name of the boat
built by private firm at the expense
of the State, is little boat $50 me-
es long and l,53 metres broad. 1t
can hold two men. The body of the
craft is cast in bronze of a single piece,
and can, therefore, bear a very high
pressure. 1t is moved by electricity,
which In case of failure can be replac-
ed by oars. Completely armed it
weighs 5000 kilogrammes (about 12,-
600 pounds), and can, therefore, be
transported easily everywhere.
The electricity, as may be safely as
sumed, is obtained from accumulators
IN the boat; but it seems that this pro-
pelling force can also be transferred to
the boat from land or from a ship ac-
companying the Goubet by means of
wire, which would naturally consider
ably hamper the movements of the
submarine craft. The stores of COM
pressed air are said to last for twenty
four hours, and can, by an automatic
arrangement, be 50 distributed that the
state OF the air in the ship is constant.
The boat was immersed for eight hours
at depth of ten metres with two
sailors in it, and these latter eXperien-
ced not the slightest inconvenience
during that period, As a special ad-
vantage il Is claimed for the boat that
it can at a word of command sink any
depth, greatest probably 10 metres, re
main there, and change its position a
will. The sinking and rising in thu
water, it is said, can be executed will
the greatest regularity, which is no
the case apparently with the Spanisl
submarine boat Pearl, and the othe
French boat Gympote,-CoIog'te Gaa

We want mothers to know that Group
can be prevented. There is no question
about this, as it has been done in thousands
of cases, and you may depend upon it that
when a child takes the Group, it is wholly
owing to the negligence Of its parents.
True Group never appears without due and
timely warning; few hours, or a day or
two before the attack, the child becomes
hoarse. This hoarseness is the first indica
ton of Group, and is sure sign that Group
is to follow, unless promptly and properly
treated. The free use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy as directed with each
bottle, under the heading, ''To prevent
Group" will dispel all symptoms of the
disease. For sale by the z. G. NJ. 1. Drug

DOINGS IN COURT.
The MandamUS Cases to be Heard
on Monday.
rs MARRIAGE A FAILURE 90
Transactions in the Probate Court-Miscel-
laneous Cases Coming Up-Other
Court Matters.

In the Third District court yesterday
morning, the mandamus cases against the
city registration officers came up. The ap-
plicants for registration who had been re
fused were represented by ]. L. Rawlins
and r. w. Young, while the legal lights for
the registrars were Judges Mcbride, Pow
ers and Hoge, and Col. S. a. Merritt.
Judge Mcbride, in behalf of Registrar
Morris, asked for continuance of the case
until next week, as he said, not for delay,
but that justice might be done to all par
ties.
Mr.. Rawlins suggested that the case
might be tried in the same time that the at
torneys took for arguing for a postpone
ment.
Judge Mcbride argued that the COM
plainants would have another chance to
register, and he thought the registrars had
right to jury trial.
Judge Hoge supported McBride's motion
for postponement.
The court said it was important that the
case should be heard promptly, and the
question determined, but he thought few
days delay would not hurt the complain
ants.
Mr.. Rawlins said that if the case was set
for Monday it would be inconvenient, as the
Utah commission would also have a hear
ing with reference to the registration on
that day and also that he had other bust
ness on that date.
Judge Zane then fixed next Monday
morning at 10 o'clock as the time of hear

his correspondence, while her expert fingers

asking her to marry him. She was engaged
on some copying when he approached her and
poured out his sentiments, and notwithstand-
ing the warmth of his pleadings kept right
ahead with the clickety, click click of the
instrument. In fact, she paid so little atten-
ton to him that he became discouraged and
eft the room, intending to speak to her when
her mind was free from her duties.
He went to his lunch, and ON his return

his desk. There was a large pile, and he went
through it mechanically until he struck
sheet near the bottom. Jumping to his feet,
he simply exclaimed: "Well, I'll be blowed"
