THE voN SALoMoN TRAGEDY.

Recalling Statements Made by the Unfor-
 tunate Girls Father Prior to Her Death.
 The keenest interest continues to be manifested throughout Europe in the strange fate of Etta von Solomon, who died in a hypnotic or clairvoyant trance near Vienna three weeks ago. Franz Neukonm, who conducted the expert ments which ended so tragically, is a well known engineer of Werschetz, Hungary. His special calling is boring artesian wells, and he has won the gratitude of the population of many districts ill which, before his time, there was not drop of pure water to be had. He has never failed to find water.
 Herr von Solomon, the father of the dead girl, is one of the great landed proprietors of Hungary. A few months ago Herr von Solomon wrote an account of some of Neukomm s experiments with his daughter and others. He said in that article:
 Having plunged them into hyp- notic sleep, he caused them to forget their mother tongue At his command they were unable to count more than three or raise up a teaspoon from the table, He put them back into the fifth year of their lives, from the fifth to the eighth year, the twelfth year, and so on. He spelled, wrote and read with them as with children, and they con ducted themselves after the manner of children of the ages suggested Neu- r. lot daughters left hand and produced a large burn. It is remarkable that these hypnotic experiments were productive of the best effects on the health of the ladies.
 "The most exciting episode of all was the following: My daughter, while in hypnotic trance, suddenly uttered a cry and then began to speak as fol lows It is now a quarter to o'clock. A thief has slipped into our dining room. He has just placed himself before the chest ill which the silver is kept so that he cannot be seen through the win dow. He is putting things in his pocket the sugar bowl, with the flower on tho lid; the coffeepot, the saltcellar. He is gone into the drawing room. Now he is ill my room. He hears noise. He is creeping under tho table. Now he is under the sofa. Then she described his flight. She told of the pause he made before leaving the house in order to OK amine the stolen objects. How he hid himself in tho garden, returned and then buried the silver vessels in the

 4 FULL COURSE DINNER.
The Feast to Which the Old Man Was En-
 Rbled to Invite His Comrade,


 A Full Course Dinner, 13 Cents, '" is the most conspicuous sign on the front of that famous Park row restau- rant known to all trampdom in particu- lar and the public in general as ''The Boss Tweed AS the patrons of the establishment are not bothered by su- perstition, or at least not in a sufficient measure to clash with their appreciation of such a generous offer as full course" dinner for 13 cents, the meal in question is vastly popular one among the restaurants s habitues, Into the Boss Tweed one evening shortly after dusk there entered an individual of surpassing shabbiness of raiment, but who was both dignified and handsome. He was tall man, past middle age and carried himself with the air of ali old soldier who is proud of his record. In appearance he was a shabby and time worn edition of that type of eavalryman one sees ill pictures of the first Napo- leon s campaigns, for his iron gray mustache bristled fiercely, and he wore an imperial on his chin. He was pale, but his eyes were bright, and above them were shaggy eyebrows almost as heavy in texture as his mustaehe. The old chap approached the cashier 8 coun- ter and said, May I ask you to inform me what your dinner for 13 cents con sists off" "Yes, sir, 7" replied the cash fer. You get soup, fish, roast. two vegetables, bread and butter. cut of pie and cup of coffee. J
 "Ah-h-h-h - ah-h-h-h, hm-m-ml Most generous. m sure. :" said the old fellow slowly, nodding his head in cons firmation of his words, and then he leaned over the counter. and ill a lower tone added: ''I have asked gentleman to dine with me this evening. Might inquire if you could arrange so as to let me have two dinners for a quarter" The cashier, :. kindly man, who is per force kept perpetually on the qui yiye lest he be cheated, glanced at his ques- tioner sharply. as if he suspected he was being chaffed, but he saw ill an instant that the query was genuine, and he ap- preciated the situation. With pleas ure, sir. !" he said, and going to the door the old fellow signaled to D still more ragged companion, who was wait ing without, and the two proceeded forthwith to dine New York Mail and Express

The preliminaries were soon settled, Napoleon signing for France, thus placing himself on an equal foot ing with tho emperor of. Austria. The formal treaty known as Campo Forrnio was signed in October 1797, Austria fulfilling the pledges she had already given. The Austrian plenipotentiary protested against the distribution of the provinces beyond the Adige. Napoleon was angered at this, and seizing vase dashed it to the ground, exelaiming, "If it is not so arranged, will break your monarchy as l have broken this yase!' This argument of force, as dem onstrated to the diplomat, was convinc- ing, and the treaty was signed -Ex change.

Trials of a Fireman.

''The public sometimes makes me very tired, y remarked fireman a day or two ago. How's that? What kick lic?" Why, it never takes into ao- count that we have to work. It seems to have gilt edged idea that we sit around the front of the engine house in our shirt sleeves and smoke and tell stories, occasionally getting up and go- ing out to Q fire by way of general amusement. I have known it enter tained this idea for some time, but was never called on to untangle it as I was today, when city official-a city off cial, mind you- passed our house, and getting into conversation with few of us asked in his blandest and most guile less way if we did day or night duty It gave me the most supreme satisfaction to inform the gentleman that we worked day, night-all the time-Sundays, Christmas, Fourth of July and St Pat rick's day. He even seemed surprised to know that we slept in the house.
 I've had dozen others ask me the same question, and the other night a brilliant. citizen sailed into the house and capered up stairs like q load of bricks falling on a tin roof One of the boys told him to keep quiet or he q wake the men. Why. does anybody sleep here? he asked i'll the most cheerfully idiotie way. Does anybody sleep here?
 We people grow very weary of being compared to the police force about hav- ing work to do. There's only one out of every 400 that knows what fireman s work is anyway "--Ohio State Journal.

A letter, from gentleman in New
Zealand, contains the following: A
wholesale exodus of workers from all the
colonies to New Zealand has been going
on for months. The lands are being set.
tied and used, and every indication
points to future Of even greater pros
perity. Good government and the taxa.
ton of monopoly have caused this re-
suit. 1t was predicted that the land and
labor legislation would result in continual
deficits in the revenue, but as a matter
Of fact last year they paid 1,000, 900 of
their public debt, besides carrying $780,
600 into the public works fund, and the
treasurer estimates the suplus this year
at 81 300, 900.
Land owners see that further taxa
ton of land values are steadily falling
and land speculation is dead. Therefore
access to land for use is easier than ever
before, and production on apacs.'

No Immediate Prospects OF Conce ssions
From the M onopoIy.
NEW YORK, Jan 30.-Today the patent
on the instrument known as the tele-
phone receiver, which is placed at the
ear, will expire. 1t is said, however.
that the transmitter, through which the
sender OF a message talks, is not vet
free, but that it is the purpose of some
enterprising men to utilize the receiver
for the purpose Of transmitting. This.
1t is conceded by electricians, can be
done, but only for short distances. On
the other hand, it is alleged that the
royalty paid by the Metropolitan Tele.
phone Company for the use OF the re-
ceiver is comparatively small, but that
the charge which is 80 exorbitant for the
use OF the telephone connections grows
out oil the cost of maintaining the plant.
So far as the establishing of direct
private wires for short distances is con-
cerned, doubtless many people will avail
themselves Of the free use fthe receiver.
and will be able to secure, at a minimum
OF cost, many of the advantages for
which they have been paying so heavy
rental charges. There does not appear
to be anything, however, in the alleged
freedom at an early date of the instru-
ments and attachments from ROYALTY
charges to justify the hope of belief that
patrons OF the system for general use will
be able to secure any concessions unless

day will not be far distant when every
wheel in New York west OF the Hudson

the falls, and mighty current shall be
transmitted as far west as Chicago and
as far south as Baltimore.

saying: "If you fire again will return
your fire and il necessary will sink you. Z"
The Detroit anchored to command both

Pacific Company is said to have served
notice upon the Atchison, Topeka 4

Southern Pacific will refuse to honor

from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
This is serious question. 1t is the re-

that has been going on for months, and
the progress OF which most passenger
men have wearied of following. The
Southern Pacific and Santa Fs are, at the
present stage Of the game, in opposite
corners, and the Southern Pacific has the
key to the situation. The Santa Fe will
probably have to do homage to it. The

THE POsTOFFICE HIS FORT.
A Now Jersey Official Arrested for Iile-
gally Holding 1t.


NEWARK, N. j., Jan. 3l.-James Nc.
Collough, the postmaster OF Waverly, N.
j., was arrested last night, charged with
Illegally keeping postotfice. He was
released on 500 bail for examination on
Tuesday.
Mccullough was appointed postmaster
early in President Harrison's term. On
October he sold out his store and moved
to place on the outskirts of Elizabeth,
N. j. He took the postoffice and all its
to run the Waverly postoffice at his
house ever since. The people Of Waverly
were indignant at being compelled to
travel three miles and into another
county to get their mail, and the matter
was laid before the postal authorities.
On December 16 Edward Groves was ap-
pointed postmaster of Waverly by Presi.
dent Cleveland. His commission arrived
on January 4, and Groves Immediately
went to Mccullough and demanded the
mail, mail bags and keys. Mccullough
refused to surrender them, giving as an
excuse that he did not have his accounts
made up. MIR. Groves has renewed his
fruitless demand each day.
The mail bag for Waverly is made up
at Newark and thrown out at the Penn
sylvanis railroad station at Waverly
The contract for carrying the mail from
the station to McCollough's office was
given to Harry Mccullough, a son Of the
postmaster. at 500 q year. He takes
the mail every day to his fathers office
in spite Of Groves. A warrant has been
issued for the arrest of young McCo-
Tough. The law provides fine of $500
in the case Of the father and 800 in the
case Of the son, If they are convicted.
