DIR. HOLMES BIRTHDAY.
The Poet Enjoys Good Health ut the
Age of EiEhty-Ffve.

DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes passed his
eighty-fifth birthday Wednesday at his sum-
mcr home at Beverly Farms Mass. There
was no demonstration made, and but few
personal friends of the poet were present to
offer their congratulations.
The burden of years" said DIR. Holmes
sits lightly upon me compared with
the weight ii seems to many less advanced
in age than myself But after three score
years ard twenty the encroachments of
time make themselves felt with rapidly
increasing progress.
II am often asked whether ] am writing
my autobiography, to which my answer is:
Il am In the habit OF debating many of my
recollections, some of my thoughts and
opinicrs. to my secretary, who has In this
way accumulated a considerable mass of
rotes. Many OF these will be interesting
TO my family and intimates some Of them,
perhaps, to wider public IL 1 should see
fit to make use of them, or leave them to
be made use of by others. 1t is the one
thing a person long past the active period
Of life can do with ease and pleasure; and.
In the midst of much that might as well,
perhaps, perish with the writer, will. not
improbably, be found memoranda deserving
of permanent record"
DIR. Holmes is looking WELL walks a mile
every morning and drives a dozen miles
every afternoon.

Famous Men Who Have Passed
Before Brady's Camera.
HISTORY RECORDED IN PHOTOGRAPHS
His Wonderful Collection Now
Held by Creditors.
INTERESTING MEMORIES

Probably no man now living has enjoyed
a wider or more intimate acquaintance with
the men and women who have made United
States history for the past half century
than Mr.. NJ. b. Brady, the photographer.
Statesmen and warriors, courtiers and
scholars, and the fair danes who made the
social life Of America dazzling. have passed
before the unerring lenses Of his camera,
and, at the sane time, extended to him the
privileges of their friendship. One who en-
joys an acquaintanceship with Mr.. Brady
Goes not marvel, however, at this rare dis
tinction which he has possessed. He brought
to the profession, in which he will ever stand
out prominently as one of its most brilliant
pioneers the discriminating taste and the
elevated ideals of an artist, and he added
to these qualities a courtly grace of bear
ing, and wide and varied fund Of infor-
nation, which he had the power TO dissem-
mate most interestingly. The story of his
life would be a valuable contribution to
American literature, for 1t would contain
pages of romance and chapters of tragedy,
irg, for today the man who was once the
petted favorite of fortune, whose heart and
purse were ever open to the pleas of ad-
versity, AMI to the largess of whose bounty
there was scarcely limit, Is crippled in
body, with failing eyesight, and harassed
almost to the point of madness by the
stings of poverty. Still, hobbling around as
he is on crutches, with his wonderfully
valuable collection of historic pictures and
negatives threatened by the demands Of
creditors, he preserves almost happy de-

REPRIMANDED BY HUNTINGTON.
Southern Pacific Superintendent FIJI
more on the Strikers

Superintendent F. J. Fillmore Of the South
ern Pacific Company has modified his atti-
tude toward those engaged In the recent
strike Just after the strike he was quoted
as saying that none OF the leading strikers
would ever obtain work In California II he
could help it. and II any secured positions
he would try to have them discharged
These threats calsed much Indignation
and President G. p. Huntington wrote
sharp reprimand to him from New York
This letter caused Mr. Fillmore to make a
supplementary statement. in which he de-
mics that he said that he would hunt down
the strikers and deprive them Of their po-
sitions.
Il am not interfering with any one" ex-
planned Mr.. Fillmore. THE men who de-
stroyed our property, stole our trains and
killed our employees are on the black list.
This list goes to other roads. II Is a GUS
tom which has been in vogue for years"
IF an ex-striker can get work you do
not propose to interfere. them" Mr. Fill
more was asked.
Certainly not. except so far as the black
list may come against him. There are
strikers now scattered all over the state
picking fruit or hops"
A second letter has been received from
MI. Huntington. in which he again referred
to Mr.. Filmores threats, saying: II cam
not believe any one would say anything 30
malicious and idiotic"

HYPNOTISM IN PARIS
An Interesting Demonstration as Applied
to the Cure of Patients.
Cases of st. Vitus' Dance and Epilepsy
Treated Through n HypnO-
tizcd Subject.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
PARIS, France, August %, 1894.
/ went, the other day, to see the most
interesting demonstration in hypnotism, as
applied to the cure Of patients. Dr. An
cause, lately associated with DIR. Luys in
practice at La Charlie, now has his clinic
in a room in a small apartment, tiny
room not larger than ten feet square. the
ceiling nearly touching your head, and enc
little window, opening on an adjacent roof.
1t was crowded quarters for the twelve
persons who were there, but all were good
natured and interested. and we managed to
survive it, and the recollection will remain
with me forever.
First the woman-the medium, l suppose
she might be caled-came in, already in q
somnarnbulistic state. as she had been used
for treatment in the adjoining room, just
previous to our arrival. She was perfectly
natural, all but her eyes, which were queer
and unseeing. Dr.. Ancausse put her in a
chair, and to show us that she was hyp-
notified. he put two of his fingers, one in
front Of each of her eyes. and above them.
Her eyes turned instantly toward them,
and as he lifted them higher and higher.
she rose from her chair, her eyes fixed in a
CLASSY stare on the finger tips, which she
did not allow to get an inch away from her.
BY quick movement as II throwing some
thing aside, DR.. Ancausse broke the spell,
and she was able to look away. He then
touched her eyeballs, without any con-
seriousness of 1T on her part, she not making
a movement or uttering a sound of any
kind.
Cases of st. Vitus' Dance and Epilepsy
Swiftly and deftly he rubbed both her
eyes, passed his thumb over her forehead,
and, like a flash, she fell heavily back in
her chair, in what is called, the state of
lethargy Her eyes were closed, and to all
appearances she was sleeping deep, nat
ural sleep. The treatment then commenced.
girl Of perhaps eleven or twelve came in
victim of St. Vitus' danCe-her whole
body jerking and twitching painfully. She
seated herself in front of the medium, took
her hands, and DR.. AncauSSe, who stood
by, turned a large magnet, which he held,
first toward the medium, then toward the
child, saying again and again, at the same
time to the child. that she was cured, she
was cured. The twitchings which had con-
torted the little frame of the girl grad
ually ceased, and We noticed that the
medium began to twitch and jerk, thus
taking to herself, although unconsciously,
all the sufferings Of the patient, and re-
membering absolutely nothing of 1t after
ward. After ten minutes Of this, the child
was sent away, always with the sugges-
tient was called in. This was also a child,
an epileptic. who was treated in exactly
the same manner. DR.. Ancausse impress

ing upon her, the suggestion that she
would never have another attack &C. &c
In this way three or four were treated in
turn, and it is wonderful to know that
after few visits to the doctor the change
Tor the better makes Its appearance in
these poor afflicted persons-and gradually
a cure Is effected. No medicines are usei
no dlet no exercise Is required
After all the patients had been dismissed
Dr. Ancausse kindly showed us some very
ena.
some Interesting Phenomena.
He first hypnotized another one of the
subjects by simple movement of the hand
nightly touching her eyes WI his finger
tips, and passing his thumb across her FORE
head. This put her at once in the state
called somnambulism-her eyes We're omen
ana she walked about the room at the doc
tors bidding. Without words he willed her
10 near and see no one but himself in other
words, TO be zen rapport" with him only
we spoke to her; she answered not: but
replied instantly to any word of the doc
tors He came to me, took my hand and
win ms other hand in hers told me to
SPEAK to her. Instantly she was able to
1ecognize my presence. / said to her.
Madam, you are dropping a hair pin," and
she put up her hand and put the pin I'm
place. " "
Then came what was to me the most
marvellous thing had ever seem He said
You Will now notice that the power Of feel
ing physical pain is not in this woma n s
body, but two inches out from her body, in
any direction. 1t is not one inch and a
half, nor two inches and a half but ex-
actly two inches" He demonstrated this
startling assertion by pinching severely the
medium flesh, without producing the
siishtest enect-not motion, not sign
of any suffering. Then he pinched the air
two inches from her arm She drew quickly
back, crying out that 1t hurt her very much
lie burnt her with match the same way
holding 1t lighted two inches from the back
or her neck. After this he proceeded to put
all of her sensation into a glass of water,
which he moved from one part of her body
to another, never touching her. but pinch
ing the water between his fingers, and thus
symptoms, scowling, writhing ana groan-
ing.
Any Sentiment Can lie Called Forth
TO show us how any sentiment could be
called forth at his WILL simply by touch
he pressed two of his fingers on the back
Of her head. Her face assumed an angry,
resehtIul, reVenSeful expression; she
clenched her fist, and made noise, a snarl.
ing sound like beast about to spring upon
its prey. He had touched jthe spot where
lodged the sensation of revenge.
He pressed her forehead; she raised hei
eyes to heaven, clasped her hands, and her
lips moved in prayer. The seat of aspira-
ton, elevation, mad received a stirring
touch. And so on down the list. JOY and
sorrow. love and hate, the animal and the
spiritual, all Influenced alike under this
magic touch
We left, glad that chance had given us
this opportunity of seeing even this little
of the workings of one of the wonderful
forces within us, and looking eagerly for
ward to the time when we might be per-
