HYPNoTIsM BY Wholesale.

The last development of the new theories
of hypnotism has made its appearance in
Baltimore. The cashier of bank in that
city permitted a speculative customer to
over6raw his account to the tune of $780,
900. When the hole in the banks capital
made by that act of iberality could no
longer be concealed the President of the
bank declares himself unable to account for
it except on the hypothesis that the cashier
was hypnotized.
Here we perceive the march of the latest
theory for rendering acts denounced by the
criminal law free from responsibility or
criminality. Twenty years ago the plea of
emotional insanity ran the course of an epi-

and Real Estate Dealers.
NEW YORK. Jan. l0-A novelty in banking
circles is the election of Miss Emily Howard
of Sherwood, N. Y, to membership in the
First National Bank of Aurora. She is woman

Canada. and she herself taught a. school for
colored children in Washington and afterward
in Virginia.
She has a business rival IN this city in Miss
A. Murphy, who is one of the most active mem
bers and the first woman of the Real Estate
Exchange. She is considered one of the sharp
est real estate experts in the upper part of the
city. Her father was a real estate dealer, and
during long illness. although not yet out of
girhood she had TO look after his affairs.
When he died she continued the business
much to public surprise. and was soon elected
to full membership in the exchange, where
she has now been large and successful dealer
for several years. She is yet young woman.

A SURPLUS OF CANDIDATES.

Candidates are wonderfully numerous for
Councilmanic positions over in Allegheny,
considering that each ward can only have
one Select Councilman. The budget of
names posted in the Northside City Hall is
large enough to indicate, to stranger, that
there are Offices enough for ten per cent of
the population. However, it is probable
that the surplus of candidates Is due to the
intense interest Alleghenians take in their
municipal affairs, every tenth man being
willing to devote himself for the good of the

SAN ANTONIO. Tex, Jan. 1o-A romantic
wedding took place last night at Uvalde. H. b.
Hoover, day operator in the dispatcher's office
az the Southern Pacific depot at San Antonio,
was married to Miss Nellie Tamsett, operator

They became acquainted with each other
some time ago over the wires and they whiled
away their leisure time ticking soft messages.
Not long ago Miss Tamsett became sick with
typhoid fever and was brought here to the
Santa Rosa Hospital. Hoover met her then
for the first time, and during her long illness
visited the hospital daily. They fell in love
and an early wedding followed her recovery.

electrical force prevailing, but not of sufficient
strength to produce the shock. Several parties

a genuine earthquake.

DID you ever stand on a mountain top and
look upon the upper surface of the clouds
that shut out the world beneathf The sensa-
tion is intensified when that world is great
city and the changing of BELLS shrieking of whis-
ties, rpmbling of wheels. escape of steam and
all the other innumerable noises Of civilization
throb continuously upon the tympanum. This
was what was experienced by chance passers
on the Brooklyn bridge the day of the densest
fog. according to weather sharps, New York
has been visited with for many years. This fog
hung low over the city for "a hours. 80 dense
was it that several collisions occurred on the
Elevated road, one train after another running
into each other-a thing quite unknown before.
On the water the ferry-boats felt their way,
with whistle and bell. from pier to pier. They
frequently missed their slip by length, though
the ferry house bell tolled INCREASINGLY to guide
them on their course. While this was going on
below there were ieeting moments when the
sun g1lded the great golden dome of the Pulitzer
building and glistened on the waterproofs of
the bridge pedestrians from "a sky absolutely
cloudless above the fog horizon.
The boats below were invisible. Up through
the log appeared. the topmasts of the shipping
on either side of the river and at anchorage in
the bay; over there were the uppermost stories
of the tallest buildings in New York, while
Brooklyn lay shrouded in the impenetrable
mists that rolled in sun-kissed billowy clouds to
leeward. Moisture intensif1es sound. And
thus from out the black depths below came the
resonant cries of unseen boatmen, the shouts
of exasperated ferrymen. puncturing the gen.
eral din of bell and whistle. The voice of the
man at the wheel, the curses of the mate the
talk OF the lively crowds-all rose through the
fog to the ears of those on the sunlit bridge
like sounds from the bottomless pit. Those
leaned against the massive cables and doubt
less INDUCED in many an idle fancy as they lis
tened to the struggle going on in the unseen
world below.

No Sympathy for the Soldiers.

r LIEUTENANT ]. L. MANN, of the Seventh
Cavalry, who received gunshot wound
through the side in the recent engagement with
the Indians under Big Foot is a relative of the
late John D. Defrees for a long time Public
Printer, and the late Joseph Defrees, once q
member of Congress from Northern Indiana.
The young man was appointed to West Point
from his native state, was an excellent student.
standing high in his class when graduated and
is first-rate fellow. In this connection 1t is q
subject of WONDER that amid SO much comma
Grafton that is poured out for the Indians,
scarcely a word of sympathy is expressed in
newspapers for the United States soldiers and
with the savages. You can pick up almost any
metropolitan paper and see satirical references
to the bad treatment by the Government of
the Indians, but it would be almost impossible
to find one word or line in recognition of the
services Of these men who are fighting our
battles. AS an army officer pithily said in
Washington recently-every officer In the In
dian campaign has the savages ahead of HIM
and a courtmartial behind him. Whether it is
true or not that the Indians have been wrouged
it would seem as If few of these maudlln
dropped upon thegraves of the United States
soldiers.
A Needed Postal Reform.
THE New York postoffice is about the worst
public building, as to the public portion of
il. that could be found in any city of the United
States. 1t is not only filthy, sloppy and dirty
as to the tiled floors outside of the delivery
windows, but it is nightly the resort of thieves,
confidence men, beggars and tramps of both
sexes and of all ages. 1t is standing disgrace
to the Government that such condition of
affairs should be permitted to exist in this
metropolitan city. Yet New Workers who
nave become almost reconciled to anything,
take it as a matter of course. Once in a while
they are disposed to kick as they do once in a
while with regard to the abuses Of the elevated
roads and other corporations; but the kicks are
feeble and far between and are not likely to
ipiure the long coat tails of Uncle Sam. ,What
this city needs about as badly as anything else,
is an entire revision of its present postal system,
and the substitution Of one which will be
adequate to the demands Of q city Of .0OC
