Where They Saved.

LINCOLN. Neb., March 30. Especial to THE
BEE. The lovverhouse of helegislature has
succeeded in making n saving in its expenses
in one or two items that deserve notice
Two years ago thirty-six enrolling and en-
crossing clerks held sway in the engrossing
department and literally fell over each other
In their efforts to find standing room. 1t is
said that not over hall of them could be
seated at the tables at a time, so they had to
work by relays. The total salary bill for
these clerks footed up to nearly s., 900.
This year thirteen clerks have done the
work in this room at cost of less than
S3, 600 which makes o saving to the state of
the neat SUN OF 5000.
The same is also true Of the janitors for
the house. They can make an equally good
showing IN curtailing expenses If anybody
around the legislature deserves extra pay Il
Is the hard wording force of jan itors who
have been on duty early ana late every day

HYPNOTIsM 4 Nd TMEOsOPHr.

by WILLIAM A. JUDGE, FTS.
Is hypnotism understoods What is the at.
titude of tho theosophicai society to hypnot-
ism?
1t Is thought by some that magnetism and
hypnotism are identical, for many have said,
"T'his new force or power Is only the old
practice of Mesmer revived in this century
after long years OF contempt, and labeled
with new name which will permit doctors
to take it up" This is not. however, alto
gether true. DR. Charcot of Paris and his
followers may be credited with the revival OF
hypnotism, for in consequence OF their nves-
dgaticns 1t has now been accepted by the
medical profession. i have seen the promi-
nent doctors OF the Atlantic coast change
their views on this subject in twenty five
years. DIR, Hammond and Others laughed at
the credulity of those who believed that the
phenomena now so well known among hyp-
notizers ever took place; today they are writ
Ing upon the subject and admit the facts pre.
viously denied.
Many years ago DR.. Esdaile surgeon In
the British army, conducted hospital In
India, and there performed many dificult
operations by using magnetism as an aues.
thetc, even instructing native assistants to
use II on patients in his stead His bo ok,
long ago published, gives all the facts. There
Is plenty of Testimony in all countries to the
reality of hypnotic and mesmerc states and
powers.
Tho great question which arose after the
proofs about hypnotism Were ala In, was q
very Different one from any which had pre-.
viously been brought forward. As soon rs
the process was described and ad mitted. ex.
periments proceeded with rapldity, and the
great subject OF "suggestfonh was laid bare
1t was found that the hyppotized person
could be made TO do MANY strange things
after recovering from the hypnotic state pro-
vided the suggestion had been made 10 him
first The subject was told to murder Dr. or
1sr. B., or TO steal n pocketbook. He was
then taken out OF the state. and at the ap.
pointed suggested time would take the sug.
gestod weapon-a paper knife or other harm
less object and 90 through all the required
actions, or would actually steal the poe ket
book on thing he was told TO steal while In
the state OF hypnosis. II this power could bt
used by u doctor IN an EXPERIMENT. 1t was
argued that m actual murder might be
planned and executed through q hypnotised
person. Hence II was dangerous. Crime
was possible, II seemed, with perfect i'm
munity for the real culprit DIR. Charco
gave an article TO. an important New
York magazine In whica he ad
mitted the possibilities Of sugges-
lion. but denied that There wa

LINCOLN, Neb., March 29.-GSpecial to THE
EE.-The banquet giver 10y the diplomatic
lady managers of the home of the frlendless
to the august legislators bore rich fruit and
was like bread cast upon the waters. When
the appropriation for this institution came
up the members remembering the feast that
had been spread for them in the e9rly days Of
the session, sprang to their feet and insisted
that not a dollar ofreduction should be made
in single item.
A hard fight was made in favor of some OBJ
vious reductions In the line OF economy but
with the exception Of reducing the fuel bill
from =, 600 to 5000, no changes were ef-
tected
The lady managers had seats on the floor
while the fight was going on, and viewed
the battle with the proud con nsciousness
that victory was certain to perch upon their
banners.

Thursday nights concert by the Tuesday
| Club was conspicuously the most enter
| tanning and artistic the organization has
ever given, and Conductor Gilchrist who
| trained the musical forces was congratu-
| lated IN all sides for the advancement to
which he had lead his pupils. The pro-
/ gramme was in lighter vein than the
| previous ones rendered by the club, and
was exceedingly pretty, and sufficiently
varied to be relieved of even the slightest
feeling Of monotony. The audience was
! large and q representative one and it was
very generous in expressing its commenda-
ton of the clubs efforts. The programme
follows:
| Hymn Of Praise. .,............... .MendelBs hn
soprano solo, oanzonetta, from tho opera
of Mareittal Mrs. Smalley. ........ Helmund
Double quartette (inale yoceIl Comrades
Part aonrs I . Breakl Brc.El wacfarran

Tenor solo, ally Dream Mr.. Au w' " auo,,,.,
semi5choras, female voices, The SEQ $500,
Part song RING out Wd Bells " w. Git oanod
tArfangel for chorus by W. W. GiichristJ
The opening selection, Mendelssohn's
jubilant and exultant hymn, met with
hearty favor, and perhaps was one of the
brightest renditions Of the evening. 1t
brought out the best efforts of the club
and enlisted the soloists in its rendition.
-hIo. W. - s7lhallcy stlcCllOu u GdtlZO-
Meta. from 'Margitta" was an admirably
executed bit Of vocal work and upon the
popular diva was bestowed the most
vociferouS applause. In response to the
call Mrs. Smalley sang the Rosebud" a
sweet and pretty little song.
Mr.. AutY's solo, My Dream Mr.. Gil
christ's composition was delightfully."- rem
dered. The piece had never been given
before, and there was much anxiety BY
members of the club to hear their leaders,
new work interpreted by so capable an
artist as Mr.. Autg 1t is an exceedingly
pretty composition, q fact every one at
tested, and the reception it met with was
cordial indeed, and the interpreter was
likewise heartily applauded.
Miss May c. Brown made her first APP
pearnnce as soloist of the club, and had |
but little opportunity to be heard, her
single part being small. She has a most |
pleasing voice, OF unusual sweetness and
purity, and it will doubtless be heard i'll
more important parts than last evenings |
programme offered.
"A Comrade IN Arms" was rendered |
with fine, effect by a double quartet Of |
males voices. II included: Il. s. Barroll, |
ii. II. Triggs, j. I. Clymer, James Ii Cam
eron, Henry Baird, Herbert Cause, n. X.
Benson, Samuel Rogers.
one Of the best rendered works Of the
evening was "fhe Miller,n and perhaps
the most attractive was the closing num-
Bells"
A very pleasing feature of the concert
was The Sea FAIRIES" by semi-chorus of
female voices;
