theories of the hypnotizers and urged that
the experiments showed person who was
hypnotizod retained sufficient will power
10 resist the operators skill. The theories
OF the Nancy school were nothing less than
the old story of the ''eyil eye,r and were
on par with fortune-tellihg with cards.
Regarding Mile. Bompard the public
prosecutor said the woman's intellect was
not weak but depraved. Both persons
were equally guilty. The evidence showed
that everything was prepared for the
hanging OF Gouffe, and it was idle to as
sert the contrary. He demanded the ex-
IRENE sentence of the law upon Evraud.
In the case of Mile Bompard the Jury
must consider her age, defective educa-
tlon, and her cocdition of life, and decide
whether there were extenuating circum-
stances.

The Two Kettle Sioux Dancing.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 20.-A Tribune special
from Pierre, S. D., says: A rancLman in
to-day from up Bad river reports that the
hitherto peaceable semi civilized tribe of
Two Kettle Sioux began wild ghost dance
night before last. Some of the bucks when
returning home claimed to have seen a
white figure on top of a bluff. One of them
said it was Sitting Bull. The alleged
phantom motioned them to follow and
glided from hill to hill in the direction of
the bad lands. The ranchman says the
Indians accepted this as proof that Sitting
Bull is the Messiah and that he was beckon-
ing them to follow. The ghost dance is the
consequence, and the ranchman says the
Indians as far down as Willow creek are
affected. If the story is correct it is a
serious affair.

The Worlds Fair proeianatiou.

WASHINGTON, Dec 20.-IJ is learned on
the highest authority that there is no truth
in the report that the President before he
will issue the Columbian Worlds fair pro
clamation VIII require S3,0OO,OOO of the
50 100000 subscription to be paid in cash
to Treasurer Seeberger. 1t is learned, also,
from the same source that the proclamation
will be ready for issuance very soon, prob
ably next week. Secretary ButterWorth
and Peck's visit to the White House to-
day was for the purpose of laying before
the President additional papers bearing
upon the validity of the subscriptions to
the fair. These established absolutely the
binding character of the subs criptions and
it is believed settled all remaining doubts.
The bona tide character of the subscrip-
lions Is attested by the fact that under the
~ per cent. call, more than $l000,00O was
paid in cash OF the total of s., 2GO, coo sub
