Wonderful Things Done by Bishop
on Change.

Washington Irving Bishop, the
thought reader, arrived yesterday from
st. Louis and has already created some
thing of sensation by his wonderful
feats. Yesterday afternoon he visited
the chamber of commerce and hob
nobbed with the bulls and bears
on 'change. He asked G. A. Pills
bury to fix his gigantic intellect upon
a certain number. Mr.. Pillsbury men,
tally held the number of bushels of
wheat shipped by his firm to Chicago
in a strong intellectual grasp. and
nearly fell down with astonishment
when Bishop wreSted the secret from
him and called off the number correctly.
Last evening Mr.. Bishop was greeted
by a large and fashionable audi
ence at the Hennepin Avenue theater.
A committee was @ l1ed to the stage con-
sisting of weIl-knOwn medical, legal
and journalistic representatives. Mr..
Bishop is thin, nervous little man,
and proved a very entertaining talker
Some of his experiments, as he called
them. were quite astonishing. For in
stance, Rev. Clay AIcCauley, with
paper knife, went in6 the audience
and committed an imaginary murder.

J1ISllOp DIT IiltS tlllC was Ill d tNcSSiIS
room off the stage in charge OF two gem
tlemen. Blindfolded. he grasped Mr.
McCauley's hand and first found the
knife, which had been placed in II. P.
Robinson's pocket, and then discovered
the imaginary victim in the person of E.
J.Phelps, and marked the point at which
the knife struck him. g. F. Hatch stole
a number of articles from persons in
the audience and hid them, but
Bishop easily found them and
returned them to their owners.
Dr.. Salisbury wrote the names of six
persons, one of them dead, and held the
paper in his hand. Bishop described
the dead man and then wrote the sig
nature, ~. S. Grant, He asked the
doctor to think of tune. and then sat
down at the plano and played March
ing Through Georgia." He. told the
number on bank note which Z. J.
Phelps. DIR. Evans and Rev. McCauley
had committed to memory, and called
off the number of DR.. Burton's watch.
In all these experiments he was blind
folded.
This afternoon a committee of three
are to hide needle in part of the
city within one mile from the West
hotel. Bishop then, blindfolded. will
drive the committee in a hack to the
place of concealment, find the needle
and drive back to the hotel within
fifteen minutes.

HOME TRAINING.
Westminster Presbyterian Ali
ance Discusses This Tonic,


The Westminster alliance met last
evening in the lecture room of the
church. The first part of the evening
was occupied in listening to papers, and
the latter part was well spent in
social good time and the en-
joyment of refreshments. The
topic about which the papers
and the discussion of the evening gath
cred was the Christian training of the
young. The first paper was from Rev.
III. A. HarSha, the new minister of the
Highland Park Presbyterian church.
The subject was "Home Training of the
Young" The paper was an able one,
and was full of good advice. 1t urged
that more Christianity be taught to the
children by their parents; that the
mothers teach their daughters to pray
rather than to be adopts in the ballroom.
He thought that the first principles of
religion should be received in the home
training.
Rev. j. NJ. Patterson addressed the
alliance on the subject, childhood the
Golden Age of Conversion" In the
peculiarly strong and fOrcible style
common to the gentleman he urged the
necessity of bringing direct influence
to bear on the minds of children. He
showed how much more easily they
were Influenced than adults, and how
the impressions so easily made in the
child's mind were so firmly fixed. He
urged it upon the parents. the Sunday
school teachers and the ministers as a
duty that they were neglecting too
much.
The third address was by James Page
on the christian Training in the
Young Peoples Society of Christian En-
deavOr." The young man gave little
of the history and work of the organ
iZatiOn, showing how it was a part of
and not separate from the church.
Then he told the practical workings OF
the society.
Prof. George g. McLain then, in a
few appropriate words, adjourned the
literary session for one of refreshments
and pleasant sociability. The Sc
regular form of church sOcial-a
busy chatter, and the little girls acting
as walters. busy distributing coffee and
dainty ribbon-bound rolls. Fora hour
or more the large company was busy
with this part of the programme, and
then Chairman McLain called them to-
gether for few minutes OF discussion
of the papers read. Delegates from the
different churches were heard, and r.
h. SuiZer, the Presbyterian Sunday
school missionary, made a lively speech
indorsing thorough Presbyterianism.
The Young Peoples Society of
of with much favor, and the
suggestion was made that there be a
grand mass meeting of the young people
from the different Presbyterian
churches of the city. Five new MEM
bers were voted in. little time was
spent in talking of the invitation which
they had received from st. Paul, and
then, with the benediction of Rev. Bell,
the company broke up.

Debate Over the O'Brien Resolu

SIOnS III Tic CanaO1an house.
OTTAWA, Ont, March 26.-When the
OBrien resolutions were called up in
the house of commons this afternoon,
Col. O'Brien moved an amendment de-
claring that the Jesuit order is a secret
organization and fraught with danger
to Canada. He said that he moved his
amendment owing to the convictions of
his constituents and what he believed
to be the sentiments of majority
of the people of the dominion,
although he was elected as sup
porter of Sir John A. Macdonald. He
had said on previous occasions, in an
ticipatiOn of such an act as the Jesuits
estates act, that he would, when the
time came, oppose any efforts to obtain
rights not guaranteed by treaty. He
would be recreant if he failed to do so.
The resolution was explicit and re-
