FRAUDS EXPOSED.

Some Of the Tricks Of So Called Mind
Readers Solved by DIR. Hyslop.
DR.. Hyslop Of Columbia college, says
q writer in the Boston Herald, has help
ed to bring down several so called mind
readers who have visited New York.
The Taylors, a man and woman who
gave exhibitions in New York two
years ago and convinced nearly every
one who saw them of the genuineness Of
their manifestations, gave private Sc
ance for the benefit of this Columbia
professor and some of his scientific
friends. They found hidden objects,
they picked out cards that had been Sc
lected from pack and then shuffled in
again, and all the other familiar tricks,
with more than common success, one OF
them staying in the room and being in
the secret, and the other coming in aft
er all was ready and supposedly read
ing the partners mind.
All went we'll until Dr. Hyslop and a
confederate took the Taylors aback by
announcing that they could do the same
things. They had found that the words
used by one of the "mind readers" in
calling the other into the room were
what gave the desired information. 1t
was discovered that by skillful arrange
ment of not more than six words a sur
prising amount of information could be
conveyed. This is the first time the fact
that the Taylors were not genuine mind
readers has been made public.
Another mind reader" exposed by
DR.. Hyslop and coinvestigators was
Guibal, who gave exhibitions in New
York recently and astonished hundreds
Of persons, most of whom suppose to
this day that his tricks were bona fide
psychic phenomena Guibal's assistant
was a woman called Greville, who sat
on the stage, and who, so far as could
be seen for long time, gave him abso-
lutely no sign Of what was in her mind.
Guibal apparently read that mind as il
it were an open book. The whole thing
was found to be trick, and the expla-
nation is now in the archives of the So
ciety for Psychical Research. 1t is be-
lieved that Guibal and Greville were
the same persons whose performances
had amazed London not long before.
The woman breathed very heavily, and
the code Of signals lay in the manner oi
her breathing, messages being conveyed
by long and short breaths, something
like the dots and dashes in the Morse

TRIED TWO HUSBANDS

The Two Worthless Meet and One
of Them Is Now Under Treat

and Other Injuries.

Defiance, Dec. ia row between
William Rice, the present, and George
Henderson, the divorced husband of a
woman whose maiden name was Ollie
Stout, has resulted in the retirement
of Henderson to hospital treatment in
his house in the Third ward. Rice
was returning home from hunt when
he met Henderson, who accosted him.
Words passed between the two and
Rice struck Henderson with the gun,
knocking him off the sidewalk and
breaking his right arm. Henderson

were made by Rice with a razor.
The woman in the case was married
to George Henderson about four years
ago, and by this union three children
were born. She lived with Henderson

when she secured a divorce in order
to marry Rice.

Merinsue Glace "without Ants"

A man went into the cafe of Broad
way hotel the other day and sat down
on a stool in front of the lunch counter.
He had been in many of the eating
houses, or "beaneries, in the Bowery
and Park row and thought he was IA
miliar with the various terms which
walters employ when repeating GUS
TONER'S order, but he had surprise in
store for him. When he had finished
his luncheon, he told the waiter he
would like meringue glace by way of
dessert. The proud and naughty person
behind the counter 'stiffened his spinal
column, and in loud and commanding
tones said:
John, meringue glace"
One of the menials outside the coun-
ter sped on the errand with lightning
like rapidity, and after apparently max
ing the delicacy returned with it. On
close examination by the customer it
was found that numerous small red ants
were racing over it. He mentioned the
fact to the waiter.
What" he exclaimed in Mortified
tone, "ants? Dear, dearW Then he
called again: John, John, come here.
Look at this! Get meringue glace

WHAT" said John in a dazed way,
while every man in the room turned his
head and snickered.
"Get meringue glace without ants, -
repeated the proud and naughty one,

So John removed the small conven-
tion of insects and soon returned with a

A Poetic Reply.

A we'll known lawyer of Philadelphia,
representing the defendant in certain
case, being urged to have his client liqui
date the amount of claim, responded al
follows:
My client came to me today
In truth and verify to say
That he had naught to pay.
Some of the debt, he owns, Is just;
But, poor and humbled in the dust
"Have mercy" he will say.
"Have mercy now," he loud doth call.
"In time I'll surely pay you all
II you will give me time"
Now, In this case what can be done
But let the debt in judgment run
Till money takes the place Of rhymes
The plaintiffs s lawyers, not to be out
done in that kind of warfare, in reply feel
ingly portrayed the sad predicament Of
their client, u carpenter:
Your muse inspired you to say,
In lofty rhyme and polished verse,
II execution should but stay
The plaintiffs cause would not be worse.
Long has he labored amid the dust
1.-THE sawdust lxind) and inward "cussed"
The laws delay. Alas, how true
And as he works he makes his moan
That he must toll, unhelped, alone.
II when your client called that day,
He noted well that pay he must,
Reluctantly we grant stay.
Though short Of cash, we will be Just.

The Wabash local from the west
this morning brought party OF Paul,

those interested in the Good murder
case, Samuel D. Good, father of
Elsie and Asby Good the children
who were foully murdered Sunday,
Nov. 4, accompanied the party.

The Coroner had a long package

1t was expected Hart would be ar
ranged here today for the murder.
Monday Hart appeared in Paulding

the trial being held in Defiance

taken outside of the arrangement
Judge Shook was not in town this
morning but was expected to arrive
from Ottawa this noon via. Toledo.
This noon Sheriff Staley of Paul
ding accompanied by Sheriff Bailey
of Bryan brought Hart to this city,
driving across the country. When
they arrived here large crowd of the
curious assembled. The prisoner was
placed in the county Jail.
Judge Shook arrived at noon from
Ottawa and at 1870 court convened.
Soon after Hart was taken from the
jail to the court room. He was plac-
ed in the jury room. When court
was called to order the confessed
murderer walked out and took seat
beside his attorneys.
The boy is apparently about Is

MANY Kinds of Days In One.

A mean solar day is the average or
mean of all the apparent solar days in
a year. Mean solar time is that shown
by a well regulated clock or watch,
while apparent solar time is that shown
by we'll constructed sundial. The
difference between the two at any time
is the equation of time and may amount
to 16 minutes and 81 seconds. The as
Economical day begins at noon, and the
civil day at the preceding midnight
The sidereal and mean solar days are
both invariable, but one day of the lat
ter is equal to day 8 minutes and

conclusion he had the following to say
on the subject Of silver, showing him to
be heartily in accord with the west on
this great financial question:
"While it is desirable to secure the
reconciliation Of silver by international
agreement, still II the opportunity offered
itself would not hesitate to vote for free
coinage, with or without international
agreement, believing the immense re-
sources and productive energies of thu
country would enable our government tc
sustain II on q parity with gold, and com
