any kind OF a demonstration on Saturday
night Is regarded as very significant. The
meeting to have been held and addressed
by Congressman Caruth. of Kentucky, was
intended TO be an eye-0pener, and was ex-
tensively advertised as the opening OF the
campaign. Late Saturday afternoon IT
and TO avoid any embarrassment IL was
announced that Mr.. Caruth. being indis-
posed. had left for the springs. and could
not be lpresent, therefore, the meeting
would have to be postponed. The Demo-
cratic papers also announced that the Hon.
William c. Owens. candidate for Congress
in the Seventh Kentucky district. was ex-
pected to be present, but wired that he
could not come. Knowing ones say that
this Is nothing more nor less than a bluff.
as any intelligent person would know that
there would be no chance of having Mr..
Owens come this far to deliver a speech,
when so much of his time will be needed in
his own district during the campaign.

but nobody can lift her unless she chooses
to be lifted. She is not only weighty in
herself, but the cause of weight in others.
For when she touches children their toes
instantly freeze to the floor and strong
men cannot drag them away from it.
Before Mrs. Abbott began her feats last
night she explained that she did not know
how they were done at all, and that she
should be glad to have anybody present
find out and tell her. She had puzzled no
end of doctors in Germany. she said, and
which had raised the ire of the others TO
such an extent that the quarrel between
and she was now going over to place the
weight of her influence and her personal
heaviness on the right side.
When she had said all this, and a good
deal more, she called a little girl up on me
platform and called a man to lift her. He
did it easily. Then Mrs. Abbott touched the
man and he tried to lift her again, preserv-
ing the contacts. He might as well have
tried 70 lift a lamppost. Suddenly, az he

Abbott said that when he touched his fin
gers together she was powerless; If he had
had a silk handkerchief between them, she
said, so as to insulete them from each
other, he could not have lifted the child.
Three little boys were now called for,
and they stood in a ring with the girl. A
big man stood behind each child, with or
ders TO lift when the time came. Mrs. Abb
bolt touched tie children's noses and cheek
