the Board ordered President Turner 10
bring in evidence 10 substantiate his
charges against Prof. Ogden.
A resolution 10 repeal the cO-educa-

down.
AT the afternoon session DR., Turner

Matters Of miner importance took up

A member OF the Board said this
evening. that surface indications were
that an adjournment will be had until
the Goth OF July, before action will be
taken in the Ogden case, but that the

A Bewildering Incident to Photos-
4; ..ra- raphers in India. 5>a..
Two young men of Boston while on
a journey through India last summer
witnessed an exhibition by a fakir in
small village outside Of Calcutta.
The fakir was performing the usual
experiment of making a rope descend
from the clouds and man come down
the rope, who assembled by the same
route after having his head cut off.
The exhibition was in an open square
before /, 900 spectators. Every one saw
plainly what was happening. The two
Bostonians had cameras with them, and
took numerous snap shots of the exhi-
bition in it's various stages. They in
tended to write an article upon the SUBJ
ject for a magazine and illustrate it
direct from photographs. They devei-
oped the plates with much interest upon
their return to Boston recently. They
We're nonplused when they saw the re-
suits. The photographs revealed tho
fakir surrounded by the crowd, with as
tt nishment, bewilderlncnt and horror
pictured on their faces, but the ex-
t"aordinary decapitation they had wit
messed did not show upon the sensitive
plates. The crowd standing around was
apparently looking at nothing in the
photographs. What they saw had not
happened at all, but they merely saw
it in their minds eye. While there
is nothing remarkable in the force Of
suggestion when applied to one person,
and it would not be impossible for
an impression such as the event which
the Boston men saw to be conveyed
to one person in a hypnotic condition.
the circumstances at the Indian fakir's
exhibition were entirely different. Here
were 1000 people fully awake who
all saw in their minds exactly the same
picture, and had no doubts that the
wonderful events actually happened.
An incident OF this kind tends to make
one commence to consider if he has not
done so before, if it is not possible for
certain influences to so strongly impress
the mind that we may, even while cling
| ing to the old theory, seeing is be-
lieving," be honestly deceived, yet what
we see may be SO real that the thought
OF its being anything else never enters
our mind. tt was SO Ia the case Of

''The funniest incident in my long

Connaughton of Sing Sing a few days
ago, in one Of his reminiscent moods,

pened, and the thought of it helped

here in January who was an old-time
sneakthief in other states. We had
to make special suit of stripes for him
and he seemed to be very proud Of the
coat. He was an especially good pris-
oner, and I was very much surprised
to be called to his cell one morning
just before breakfast. wondered as
I hurried along the corridor, whether
he had been trying to escape, and re-
solved, if l found it so, to put no more
faith in human nature.

there grasping the bars, and with the
most doleful expression Imaginable on
his little face. . No.. r. s5Fs

great numbers crowding sluggishly
along there is always Il good number
who will repay the search for curios.
It is not their personal appearance so
much as the little things they lncon-
sciously do. Now and then you find a
trait that is adopted by every one. For
instance, every one who wanders into

at the dome opens his mouth, and keeps
it open at a greater or less width, de-
pending on his habit at the table.
The man who eats with his knife
will open his mouth when looking at
the dome and open it wide enough to
receive the cap of Columbian guard.
The man whose fork does duty for him
at the table will open his mouth, but
he tries to escape the general curse
and so he doesn't look very bad. Wom-

SHE Is HAPPY NOW.
MISS DAISY BEDWELL WILL NO
LONGER BE HOMELE
A Successful Surgical Operation Which
Removed n Serious Malformation of
Her Jaws-she is Pretty Now.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2l-Miss Daisy Bed
we'll. the slxteen-year-ofd daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. s. G. Bedwell OF Yazoo City.
Miss, was successfully operated upon on
Aug. 81 at the Roosevelt hospital for a
facial deformity hich threatened TO en-
bitter her whole life. The operation was
performed by DR.. Frank Hartley of No.
46 East Thirty-fourth street, consulting
surge at Roosevelt hospital, and George
Howe Winkler. NJ. d.. ID. ID. s.. professor
of operative den istry at the New York
Dental school.
DIR. Winkler, to whose attention the
case was br, ught in the first instance.
said he found upon inquiry that when the
girl was four and half years old she lost
almost the entire lower jaw on the right
side by necrosis. dne probably to a blow
OF fHff, which fractured the bone so that
it came wayalmost entirely by the slough
ing away of the tissues OF the neck
under the angle OF the jaw and very
little through surgical interference. DR..
Winkler found, on examination, that the
periosteum had finally filed up with a
new growth OF bone, which did not grow
any longer than a four aud one-half year
old child's should be. Tue development
of the jaw on the other side was normal
The effect was to push the chin around
under the right cheek.
DIR. WiIkler, believing that il the new
growth of bone was sawed through it
would be possible to force the chin
around in front OF the face and hold it
there permanently. advised an opera
tion, which was performed as stated by
DIR. Hartley
He made an incision in the neck, under
tho angle of the jaw, saving the bone in
two. Two hard ruober appliances, one
on each jaw. were inserted and fastened
TO their respective eeth. These appli-
ances brou ht the chin into Its nor al
po iton by an arrangement OF floss silk
ligatures, and were allowed to remain in
position for four weeks, while the exter-
nal wound was healing. When the wou d
was sufficiently healed the work Of in-
serting the permanent appliances was be-
gun. This WAS doue by soldering upon
the lower jaw an upright bolt, which slid
up and down on a gold bar soldered to
the upper jaw. allowing the jaws perfect
freedom TO open and close. but retaining
the lower jaw perfectly in the new posi-
tion TO which it had been brought.
The operation is regarded as highly
successful and the good results obtained
are pretty sure To be permanent. Miss
Bedwell and her mother left this city for
their home yesterday, aud the young
girl was as Happy as II she had Inherited
fortune, for she is now very pretty
young woman.

AE.smarkabIe Canary.

An entertaining story is told of pet
canary in Washington to the effect that
this canary has always had an aversion to
his na..2yal dress and has industriously
pulled out every feather he could reach.
The result is that he has now smooth.
shiny skin, which looks like polished
parchment, two or three lonely tail feath-
ers and trife Of plumage on the head and
neck. In summer he is all right. but the
cold Of winter bothers him. AS soon as frost
comes he is clothed in warm flannel jack
ct, which he adrires immensely. At night
he lies down on a bed of cotton batting,
submits quietly to be covered up and
sleeps there contentedly till morning, II we
may believe so unique a tale.
