HYPNOTIZED BY A LUNATIc
Remarkable Experience Of q Young
Woman in Canada.

strange case Of hypnotism is reported In
London, Ont. The medium is a woman forty
years of age who has lost her reason, and it il
therefore believed she is acting unconsciously
upon her victim, young lady Of about twenty
summers. The two are neighbors. living on
opposite sides of the same street, and it an.
pears that some two months ago, when the
medium was taken i'll, the young woman
waited upon her, until at last she could not
stay away, and was constantly running across
the road to the house.
The young woman became 80 infatuated in
this particular that one night this week, un-
known to the people of the house, she STAYED
all night, and when an attempt was made to
| arouse her in the morning it was found impos-
| sible. Her body was pinched and even needle
had no effect. Walking her on the floor was
also tried without success. She was in a state
of lethargy from which all the efforts of the
neighbors could not awaken her. and doctor
was summoned. His skill was at last success
full, after she had slept about twenty-four
hours.
1t is said that if the medium was not a crazy
person she could have aroused the lady from
the stupor or else have followed I'D the work
with suggestions to her victims mind; but she
was unconscious OF anything wrong apparently.
The girl says she knows nothing of what goes
on when under this wonderful influence She
experienced no pain OF any description when
being pinched. She had been several times
put to sleep, but not for such long periods as
the one mentioned The subject Of this power
is in fair health otherwise and also very inteli-
gent.
At present she is under tho care of friends
constantly and is kept perfectly quiet. 1t is
expected that she will be able to throw of the
medium this time, but as q severe shock to her
nervous system is almost sure to cause a relapse
she will always in future be kept away from

FLIGHT FROM A BURNING HOUSE.
"A Family Escape Down q Tree Clad
Only In Their Night Clothes.

At O'Clock yesterday morning the residence
and grocery store Of W. A. Carpenter and the
cigar store adjoining, belonging to Thomas
Finegan, at Pennsville, Pa, were totally de-
stroyed by fire. Mr.. Carpenters store and
residence are in the same building. Mrs. Car

her husband, who noticed flames in the entry
He Immediately Jumped up and pulled his wife
through the flames to q window overlooking
shed and carried his children to the same
place, from whence they reached the ground
by climbing down willow tree. The family
were clad in their night clothes and saved
nothing from the flames. The supposition is
that the building was struck by lightning, as
neighbors said that the chimney was RACED to
the roof when the fire WAS first discovered and
. heavy clap of thunder was heard at that
time.

EX.Goy. Waller's Declination-

Ex-Gov. Tom Waller Of Connecticut has Just
returned to New York from a visit to his home
in New London. While there he was asked il
he would accept the democratic nomination for
governor. He has bluntly refused to do so.
but in Connections they think he spoke with a
mental reservation. There is no mental reser-
walton in the governors mind. however. He
has just opened law offices on Wall street and
has rather important English clientage which
is worth good deal more to him than the gov
ernorship. The governor, however. did not
say whether he would accept the Senatorship
Of Connecticut in case the democrats carry the

jury before whom the five men were tried for
the murder Of DIR. p. II. Cronin The Judge
held that DIR. Graham had been taken from
the custody of his bondsmen when after few
days he was rearrested on q second indictment

Graham's attorneys that the law permits a per-
son charged with conspiracy to be represented
in court by his lawyer, the defendant in person
not being essential.

the confusion and hubbub he wrapped
it around the burning lamp and held it
there till the flames were completely

his work without stopping for moment

The Worlds Fair Bill.

The special house sub committee on the
worlds fair had another conference with
the visiting Chicago delegation and COM
pleted the bill, which will be presented to
the full committee as soon as the chair
man can call it together.
The changes made in the bill by the
subcommittee are few, and the principles
of the original bill are strictly adhered to.
The provisions for national commission,
composed of two members from each State,
nominated by the governors and appointed
by the president, has been retained, but
an amendment has been added providing
that the commissioners shall be divided
equally between the two political parties
The government commissioners are to
have control of the operation of the fair,
the appointment OF juries, distribution of
awards, ETC., but the Illinois corporation,
which is recognized in the bill, is to pre-
pare the site, construct the buildings and
retain control of the financial affairs.
The President is not to appoint the COM
missiopers until the Chicago men have
raised So, 600, 900 outright ard have given
satisfactory assurance of their ability to
supply another $5,OO0.00O if it shall be
needed. The appropriation of 81, 500, 600
for the government exhibit remains as in
the original bill so that the full committee
may change the amount if so disposed.
There has been considerable discussion
of the advisability of changing the date of
the fair to 1893. The Chicago men have
stated that they are ready to hold the fair
in 1892, but they are willing to accept the
Judgment of the full committee upon this
proposition. 1t is understood that the ILL
nois members of the house, however, feel
that in justice to the foreign exhibitors the
time should be extended.

A Sensible American Girl.

While crossing the Atlantic for Europe,
young American girl happened to have a
seat assigned her at the table near Charles
Sumner, who was also bound abroad. She
listened eagerly to every word, but soon
became mortified because she could not
understand much of his conversation. She
had never studied the science of govern
ment she knew nothing of European
politics, and little of American history.
For the first time in her life she realized
that an interesting, helpful science had
been neglected in her education. She de-
termined to supply the omission for her
self, and on reaching England began the
study of American politics.
Her growing enthusiasm amused her
friends, especially her brothers.. What
could be the use of girl troubling her
head about such things, they asked. The
answer came in manner quite unex-
pected. One evening during their con-
tinued residence in England, the family
was invited to a small reception given to
John Bright, then at the zenith of his
fame. Shortly after their entrance into
the drawing room the conversation turned
to American politics. in which Mr.. Bright
manifested great interest. A convention
was at that time in session in Western
city, and much anxiety was expressed
about the nomination which it was likely
to make. Turning to an American gentle
man, Mr.. Bright made some inquiry as to
the rules governing the formation of such
an assembly. The person addressed, evil
IDENTITY greatly chagrined at his ignorance,
was obliged to answer That he did not
know. Appeals to three other guests met
with the same response.
Then, to the surprise of every one, q
modest little American girl advanced tim
idly to Mr.. Bright and gave him the de-
sired information. Mr.. Bright was de-
lighted. He seated himself at the girls
side and talked with her for the entire
evening, and when taking leave of her
said to her mother ''You Americans have
indeed made wonderful advances in educa-
ton. The future of country is secure
when the young men and women alike are
trained to intelligent understanding of the
laws which govern them. The next gen.
GRAFTON will be race of patriots" A few
days afterward came an urgent invitation
for the entire family to spend a week at
the Bright Homestead. There the little
American was introduced to Mr.. Gladstone
and many other prominent English states
men.-Detroit Nea0s.
