ecTRlclTY ON THE PYRAMIDS.
VOW Arab GnId-s Were Frightened by y
Party OF Scientists.

In his autobiography the late Sir w
Siemens relates the following anec-
dote: An Arab called his attention to
the fact that when at the top OF the
ryranlid of Cheops, when he raised his
hand with fingers oulspread, an acute
sinoiuo note was heard. he sound
csasiuc rs soon as he let his hand fall.

he true. As soon as | raised oae of my
own fingers above my head | felt a
nrickiug in the fingers. That this
could only be caused by an electrical
nbeuomenon was proved by the slight
electric shock felt on trying to drink
ont of a wine bottle.

and thus converted il into a Leyden

myself and companions. and now held
q brief consultation. Suddenly. al a

was seized by the guide who had led
him up, who now tried to force him to

top of Che pyramid when the sheik OF
the Arabs came to me and told me
through my interpreter that the Arabs
had determined that we were at once
to leave the pyramid because we were
practicing magic and it might damage
their chance of their earning living.
On my refusing to obey orders the
sheik caught hold of my left hand l

my right hand with bottle in the at

sheik's nose.
"When quite close to that feature |

bottle TO my own arm, and was certain
that the sheik must have received the
equivalent. At any rate, he fell sense

moments passed before he rose sud

1t is said by one of Alice Mitchel's
attendants in the insane asylum a.
Bolivar, Tenn, that she is one Of the
most useful women in the asylum;
that she works harder than any at
tendant in the wards She scrubs the
floors, washes the dishes and assists in
every way in keeping things in order;
that she shows the greatest interest in
the patients, especially the old women,
TO whom she is tenderly kind. She is
always bright and cheerful. saws cor
respondent of the New Orleans Times
Democrat, and perfectly conlented in
the asylum. She has never been
heard to call Freda Wards name or
speak Of that horrible murder, which
from It's cold bloodeduess has caused
the whole world to resound her name.
She occupies 4 cell just exactly like
those OF other patients, without one
comfort more, but She is allowed TO
eat at the attendants table, where
every deIicacy is provided for her by
her family. She is rood musician,
and when she is not ut work passes
her time by singing ard playing.
Her father and mother visit her very
often, and always take her out driv-
ing. Each time She appears on the
streets Of Bolivar the people seem
eager to catch = glimpse of her She
has never shown amy symptoms OF in
sanity except in Its of anger, which
are very seldom, but, said the attend
ant there is no mistaGing that wild
CLEAN Of insanity that flashes in her
eyes at those times. She is one OF the
most yiolent-temrercd women in the
world, and the attendants consider
her dangerous outside Of the asylum.

STATE UNIVERSALISTS.
Closing Work of the Connecticut Conven-
 ton at Morfden.

Closing Work of tho Connecticut Conven-
 ton at Mcriden.
 Meriden, Sept. 27-The second day of the annual convention of the Connecti- cut Universalists began in St. Paul's church at S:so o'clock this morning. The first service was the conference meeting under the leadership of Rev. J. N Emery of Bridgeport. The topic was: "The Law of Christian Growth" !" It was generally discussed, and the lead Ing position of the Universalist church in that growth emphasied. At s:30 the business session was commenced. Va rious routine matters were attended to, committee reports adopted, resolutions and other matters of similar character taken up and acted upon.
 The resolution in relation to the union of Protestant believers that came to the Connecticut Uni- versalists from those of Rhode Island, as originally adopted by the Congregationalists of New Jersey. was taken from the table and vigorously discussed. Rev. F. W. Perkins of Hart ford offered substitute resolution, which was adopted. It was as follows:
 Resolved, That while the Connecticut Universalist convention does not adopt the platform of the New Jersey Congre- gationalists, it refuses to take such &C., tion, not at all because of lack of sympathy with said platform, but be cause the attempt at the present day for unity of creedal statement Is only an obstacle to realizing the practically efficient unity of purpose and works, in making the spirit of Jesus Christ is the only kind of Christian unity de- sirable or effective.
 Among the other resolutions adopted were those expressing the thanks of the convention to the local people, local papers, etc.
 Officers were elected for the following year as follows: Js1i
 President-Rev. W. 8. Perkins D. D., of Meriden.
 Vice president-C. G. Lincoln of Hart ford.
 Secretary-Rev. E. M. Grant of Stam- ford.
 Treasurer-M. M. Whittemore of Nor wich. Preacher of occasional sermon-Rev. J. Vincent of Danbury.
 Alternate-Rev. E. M. Grant of Stam- ford.
 Commmittee on fellowship-Rev. J. Vincent of Danbury. Rev. J. N. Emery of Bridgeport, T, F. Lamb of New Haven.
 The next meeting will be held in Bridgeport was the unanimous vote of the meeting.
 At 11:30 the convention proper ad- journed, and Rev. F. W. Perkins de- livered his address on Tufts Divinity School and What 1t is Doing"
 Dinner was served at noon in the par lors of the church, and was as elaborate as those previously given.

 We do not deem it to be altogether fair to make trouble as yet for individ- ual members of the force until certain general causes for the non-enforcement of the law, which lie within your pre- ventive power, shall first have been in- spected and condemned by you; espec- ially as some of the patrolmen who are known to us to have been negligent in this direction may possibly have been 1aboring under some misapprehension in consequence of remarks reported among them as made by persons high in police authority, such as that they are not to be ''too damned offlcious" in this duty. and similar emphatic intima, tions, which perhaps 1t might not be in perfect taste for us to recall to the. re- :. membranes of the commissioners.
 The communication then states that 1t Is hoped the board will not stop with any mere formal action in the matter, but will take practical measures for bet ter efficiency of the police department. He asks first that more military au- thoritys be given to the superint antI and his hands freed from the red tape. that binds them and also for q new reg- ] ulstion in regard to officers being all lowed to take fees for exceptiousiiytgood work. -s-s-- '-~5

REPUBLICANS IN DENVER.
League Convention Opens with u
big Attendance.

DENVER, June 26.-Standing room
was at premium at the spacious Broad
way Theatre when the Republican Ma
tional League Convention assembled to-
day. Denver has not ent ertained so
many visitors since the Knights Temp
lar conclave of two years ago. The
number of strangers in the city is es-
timated at 5000. of whom about one
third are delegates.
The Committee on Resolutions, the
members OF which are appointed by
the States, held caucus to-day. which
developed a strong majority in favor of
frowning down such issues as free coin
age of silver at l6 to l and woman
suffrage.
Nevertheless, It is the intention of
delegations from silver States to make
a fight in the Convention in favor of
free coinage. Judge c. c. Goodwin, OF
Salt Lake City, Is expected to lead the
attack.
The Texas delegation will attempt to
have the basis of repre- sentation of the
colcred vote in the League of the South
ern States changed so that the power of
the colored men will be cut down one
half.
The New York delegation is pushing
Col. +. A. McAlpin for the Presidency,
but the Illinois delegation insists that
President William Tracy shall have a
second term.

AN ATROCIOUS SWINDLER.
DOuEherty Demanded a Reward for
False News of Rescue.


Edward Dougherty. the boatman. of 12s
Hamilton avenue. Brooklyn. who tried
to swindle the families of some of the
missing excursionists, by asking for
money for bringing information about
their alleged rescue. was committed to
he island by Justice Hogan, In the
Essex Market Court this morning, in de-
fault of $500 bail
Dougherty who Is twenty-three years
old. and looks like a typical boatman,
had first called yesterday on the family
of James Hayes, one of the missing ones,
of l72 Eldridge street. but finding no one
at home he left word with John Jones, a
neighbor. that he would return to give
details Of Hayess rescue to the family
and then went to the house of Freder-
lex Piening. another missing man, at 81
First avenue.
There re told Pienings daughter that
he had been sent by Capt. Davis. OF the
tugboat Stranahan. to say that her faith
er and James Hayes had been picked up
by Capt. Davis in small boat at 3
o'clock yesterday morning, and had been
landed on Il reef at Long Branch.
The mans manner of telling this story
excited suspicion. particularly when he
insisted that the MESSAGE was deserving
the Eldridge street station, who was
called in took Dougherty to the Ell
bridge street cation.
There 1t was found that he had a news
paper clipping containing the names and
addresses OF the missing persons. Fur
Their Investigation by Policeman Cohen
disclosed the fact that although there
was tugboat Stranahan her captain
name was Client. and not Davis. and
that neither Hayes nor PleninG had been
rescued by him.
Justice Hogan told Dougherty that his
deception in such a case as this was
doubly atrocious. and that he was de-
serving of exemplary punishment.
