"And she used to wear the shabbiest

"Ah," said her husband.
And she always has plenty of money
now. I've known that woman to go

"Hypnotism?" exclaimed Mrs. Larkin.
eyes; she's got him hypnotized. She
discovered few weeks ago that she
could hypnotic him, and he consented
to let her experiment. After she had
made him do a number of foolish tricks,
she remembered that hypnotizers can
project suggestion into future time.
That is, they can tell tho subject, while
the latter is in the hypnotic state, to do
something at a certain time tomorrow
or next day, and she resolved to try that
on Bunting, too. So she said, Now,
Mr.. Bunting, every time you take
glass of whisky you must bring me
five-dollar bill, and every time you buy
quarter cigar you must come right
home and hand me dollar Tho poor
fellow has been doing it ever since. AS
soon as he takes drink of whisky he is
compelled to go right home and give his
wife five dollars He can't help it, and
after he has done so he forgets all abont

wonders what becomes of his money,
but can't for the life of him remember.

Mrs. Larkin was very thoughtful for
some time after this, and next day she
went about among her friends trying to
find some one who could teach her

she used to test the point OF pencil by

who uses it. To give them the neces-

His Trial Postponed TIL September

MONTREAL. June 18.-This morning at II
o'clock the evidence in the Cowles-H Hale
shooting case was submitted to the grand
jury, along with Cowles' deposition, ex-
onerating Hale for willful attempt at mur-
der. Hale was brought to the prisoners
box in the court of queens bench
this afternoon. The grand jury then filed
into the court room and returned true bill
against MIN for shooting with intent to kill
and murder. Hale pleaded not guilty. MIR.
McGibbons, queens counsel, who appeared
for the prisoner, addressing the court, said:
"Under ordinary circumstances we would
have been ready to have our trial
at once, but Cowles, the chief
witness for the prosecution, though
progressing very favorably, is still con-
fined TO the hospital, and, after consulta-
tion with the crown, we have come to the
conclusion that it will be to the interests of
justice and the accused to have this case
adjourned until September" Mr. McGib-
bons applied for bail and it was decided to
take $4,000 bail, $1,000 to be furnished by
Hale himself and 81 600 each by two local
bondsmen.

under foreign secretary, was questioned in
the House of Commons to-day in regard to
the opposition Of Newfoundland to the
modus vivendi with France. He replied
that the objections Of the Newfound-
land legislature seemed to be
mainly founded on the mistaken notion
that q modus vivendi tended to impair
their rights or to admit claims Of
France hitherto unacknowedged. Some
understanding upon the procedure for this
season being absolutely necessary, the gov
ernment had made an arrangement with
France. Recent cable dispatches. he added,

budget committee of the Austrian delega-
ton Field Marshal Baron Bauer, minister
of war for the whole monarchy, stated that
that the peace of Europe was not
secure, and that, therefore, con-
siderable increase in the army was
necessary. The cost Of the increase would
amount to from S0,00O,0 900 forins to 100,-
00O, 900 forms. He said he was not yet able
to state definitely the exact cost.
Baron Bane said it was impossible at
present to introduce commerce reforms, to
raise the recruiting age and to shorten the
tenn of service. The committee amended
the army estimates.

BLAINE TURNS CRITIC.
The Republican Leaders Making a
Series of Fatal Mistakes.

CerleS OF raCal Mistakes.
WASHINGTON, June 13. - Secretary
Blaine has begun to criticise the republican
leaders. He said to a senator last night
that the Republican party In the House was
adopting course which was all wrong,
and which would, il persisted In, lead to
overwhelming defeat at the polls. Secre-
tary Blaine's first objection was directed
against the bounty of 2 cents pound on
sugar Incorporated in the Mckinley tariff
bill. He said he failed to understand what
had influenced the gentleman who prepared
the bill to include this proposition. "What
are we going to pay it with" he inquired.
OTHERS HAVE THE SAME RIGHT.
He thought the cotton planters of the
south or the wheat growers of the north
had the same right to demand and receive
bounty on theirerops as the sugar plant
ers. The sugar planters were, he insisted,
making more money now than the others,
and they would make even more with sugar
on the free list and this bounty paid them.
He deemed the measure unconstitutional,
or at any rate extra-constitutional,
and almost as bad economically
as the warehouse and sub-treasury bill the
farmers alliance is pushing He bewailed
the tendency to paternal socialism which
appears to be spreading among certain
classes OF people, and thought it should be
nipped in the bud. "Why," said he, II
cannot understand what is coming over our
men in the House. They certainly are act
ing without either conservatism or
thought"
FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS.
Secretary Blaine then talked at some
length and with considerable force about
the federal election legislation the House
republican leaders are contemplating. This
sort of partisan legislation he regards as a
great, if not fatal mistake. To adopt
such policy would, in his opinion, retard
and perhaps destroy the progress and pros
perity of large section of our common
country, and this too without in any way
permanently benefting the Republican
party. II hope" said Mr.. Blaine earnestly,
that these measures will not go through
the Senate. They will hurt the Republican
party far more than they can or will help it. -

PARLIAMENTs PUZZLE.
Smith VIII Resign If Autumn Sessions
Are Held.

LONDON, June 13.-The members of the
Tory party who were circulating the
memorial to the government in favor of an
autum session Of parliament have aban-
doned the movement in consequence of the
threatened resignation of Mr.. Smith, first
lord of the treasury and government leader
in the House of Commons, in case autumn
sessions were decided upon.
A meeting Of the dissident liberal MEM
bers of parliament was held to-day. The
session lasted two hours. Lord Harrington
said he was of the opinion that the pro-
posals made by Lord Salisbury, looking to
the forwarding of parliamentary business,
were the best means to meet the existing
difficulties. he urged the dissident liberals
to give their undivided support to the gov
ernment. A long discussion followed. A
resolution wa finally adopted declaring
that the dissident liberals would support
the government, though much opposition to
the resolution was developed during the
discussion.
