TALK OF TIE TIMES.

between the hair of men and women" re-

never knew a man who had fever to have
his head shaved simply because of fear

however, seen cases where the fever entirely
changed the color of mans hair"
L HEARD Pittsburg physician say he
occasionally had to hypnotize q patient as
an extreme measure, and I asked him how
much faith wide-a wake, active medical men
put In the results of such experiments
'Well it isn't a safe thing to DO unless you
understand your patients thoroughly and
have exhausted every other means Of arous

| to study and saw some wonderful things
done by the professor who lectured on that
| subject. One OF the most remarkable exam
pies of hypnotic effect and one of which but
| little is known is the connection of ideas
| between the hypnotic state and the normal
| condition. For instance, I saw young
German girl hypnotized. Toward the close
| OF the experiment the professor told
! the girl that in half an hour he wanted her
| to strike the tallest man in the room with a
| glass rod and that she must get the watch OF
| DR.. -, one of the assistants, without fail.
| In few moments the girl was restored to
her normal state and asked US a number of
questions about what she had said and
done. Then we began to chat on other mat
| ters just 80 minutes after the command of
| the professor the girl became restless and
walked quickly to table on which lay q
| glass rod. She then came and struck me
| with it sharply several times. Why do you
| do that. Fraulein?' 1 asked. 'Oh, 1 don't
know, don't know she answered in q
much distressed tone. but I have TO do it.
| to DR.. - and asked for his watch.
| At first he refused to give it to her and she
became frantic in her pleading. saying she
must have It at once. and she seized him and
tried to take 1t from him. That Is but one
| of many instances have seen where COM
mands given to hypnotized person were

cond1tlon. once this same girl did what she
was told week after the experiment., that
being the time fixed by the professor"
MOTT GUJ, the mutineer elephant of

lying down beside his master I'm the middle
of the highway, whereupon "travel would

horse, which followed the example of the

| and did not seem in a mood to haul the
| wagon load of potatoes to which he was
| fastened. Finally he got his foot caught in
the cable slot opposite the downtown power
house on Fifth avenue and there he stuck.
Cars piled up people stood up and looked

sters and passengers swore, owner of horse
very much ditto. Horse tied himself up till
he looked like the gold bow for lady's

smith from shop couple of squares away
came and took OFF the shoe and the conges-
tion was relieved Half the crowd went on
into town and half remained to give the
man advice as to how to reharness his horse
and the traction company probably suf-
fered to the extent of more than the value
| of horse, wagon and potatoes too.
The readiness of the West Virginia and
Kentucky moonshiners to use the repeating
Winchesters that they have as constant
companions is well known. Charity Chief
Elliot, illustrating this fact the other day
told the following story: II had been up in
the mountains of West Virginia several
years ago getting oil and gas leases. We
were in a little country hotel in one of the
small villages up there, and had the farmers
come in and sign the leases One old fellow
with peaked hat and long, greasy hair
down over his tuckskin coat came in and
stood his Winchester in the corner. He bor-
as pleasantly as he could. The lease was
read to him. He picked up a pen and made
his mark. Then turning, without even a
change in his expression, he said: Il don't
know what's in thar, but eff it hain't es We
say I'll shoot ye es sure as my names Bill
White He was as cool and quiet about it
as if he was only borrowing another chew.
But was satisfied he meant what he said"
Ex-SoLICIToR GENERAL JENKs, of
Brookville, put up at the Seventh Avenue
Hotel last evening. He has great faith in
Cleveland, and believes he will be renom-
mated on the first ballot "Twenty-four
hours after Cleveland is nominated" con-
tinued Mr.. jerks, "thefe will be more en-
thusiasm in the Democratic party than
since the days OF jackson. Do l think
Cleveland can be elected? Most undoubted-
ly. He is the. strongest msn i'll New York
lacking among Republicans. The nomina-
tion doesn't suit Pennsylvania. In Brook
Vile there were only two men who favored
ers were for Blaine, and when he was turned
down they were disgusted."
A, TRAIN load of bowling Democrats
struck the Union depot last evening five
minutes after the arrival of the Chicago
limited Both sections were a half hour
not far from Altoona. The car was de-
molished, but fortunately nobody was hurt.
The delay was caused by this accident.
Among those on the six cars were the
jackson and Young Mems Democratic Club
of the District OF Columbia, Delegates Nor
ris and Davis, of the same en1ghted section
OF the country; Delegate at Large T. J.
ODonnel, of Colorado: Delegate d. W. Flick,
White, Williams Cable and Newberry, Illi-
nois; Patton, Indiana; Allen, Mississippi;
Elliott, South Carolina; Geisenha1ner, New
Jersey, and Herbert, Alabama.
Mr. O'DoNNEL, of Colorado, said he
would vote for any Democrat but Cleveland
"Grover is the only Democrat nominated
that can be defeated, even if he carries New
York" he continued. 1.-THE free silver men
are against him, and he would lose several
Southern States. like Hill, but am afraid
of q factional fight in New York. I favor
German above all others, and 1 believe my
colleagues will support him."
The District of Columbia delegates are
uninstructed, but will vote for Cleveland on
the first ballot. After that they will be for
the most available man. Or. D: ". Flick,
of South Dakota. is a relative of c. F. Nc
Kenna, and he asked about the well-known
Pittsburg lawyer He thinks Cleveland IL
the strongest man before the people, and
he believes Boies could carry Iowa, and If
Grover gets first place, he would like to see
Boies in the second position.
. Mr.. SPRINGER is not delegate. He
said he never attended a convention as q
delegate. He believes in dividing up tho
honors. He was proud that he had been
named for Congress ten times in succession,
and that was honor enough for him. "The
Illinois delegation" he said, would vote for
Palmer against the field, and they will stick
tn h i'm to the end. don't believe Cleveland
