THE POWDER PLAY.
A Picturesque Game OF the Horsemen OF


Morocco
4 dozen or so horses are drawn up in
to line at one end of the plain, the rid
ers bv means of bit and stirrup, work
ing their animals into fer
ment of excitement. Then, AT a given
signal, the long-barreled guns are
waved in the air, and the troop sets
forward at little more than a walk,
which increases as they proceed, way
ing their guns and saluting the while,
until it becomes a furious gallop.
Suddenly, says Blackwood's Maya
zine. the weapons are brought to the
shoulder. held with both hands, the ell
bows raised to the level of their
shoulders and the next moment the
little troop of horsemen is lost To sight,
envelopcd in the clouds of white smoke
which the flint-lock guns and inferior
native powder produce, only to issue
again in their showy trappings, refining
in their horses with all the strength Of
their iron wrists. until the poor beasts,
often with bleeding mouths, are brought
to a standstill.
The lab-el-barond, as the natives call
IL. admits of but little variation when
performed in numbers; but this IL not

HYPNOTISM IN COURT.
They Use 1t In Their Intrigues-Learned
Men Pronounce Opinions

An interesting case was recently
brought before the criminal court OF
Munich. Polish adventurer named
Luberz-Czyuski had appeared in Dres-
den as u professional hypnotizer. Dres-
den has many rich people who have
nothing special to keep them employed,
and the man with the unpronounceab
name found plenty of faithful follow
ers Among these was a lady of good
family. beautiful and rich. The pro
fessor'' declared his love to her, she
accepted him. and there under ordinary
circumstances would have been an end
to the matter. Unfortunately, how
ever CZvuslxi had already wife. and
he tried to get out of the difficulty by
sham marriage, asking his new
spouse to keep their union secret. But
the high-born lady's relatives got wind
of the affair and had the adventurer
arrested, accusing him of having hyp-
Noticed his victim. Half dozen
learned men, says the Echo, Berlin,
were summoned from as many uni
versities to decide whether it was
possible to influence person to such
an extent that all resistance is impos-
sihle. The jury failed to be convinced
that such is the case. The charge
against Czyusl<i. of having made the
lady subservient to him without her
consent. was dismissed, but he was
convicted of disorderly conduct and of
criminal acts against the public moral
ity and sentenced to three years i'm
prisonment, with five years loss of
civic honors. The Nation, Berlin, says:
Il do not believe that hypnotic influ-
ence is irresistible. When we see the
exhibitions of professional hypnotizers
we are led to think that they command
obedience. If a hypnotized person is
told: You are dog, he will begin to

DEATH OF A FAMOUS GANDER
He Was - Decoy Fowl Noted for the Sue
OF His Methods

cess OF His Methods
The sad news of the death of old
"Mingo- has come to the gunners along
the line of the Old Colony road. and if
he was only gander he had a host of
friends. says the Boston Globe. He has
been at Widgeon point at the lake now
for more than thirty years and was one
of the wisest and most deceptive birds
that ever decoyed the northern wan
derer from his journey to the guns of
the sportsmen.
Old Mingo gained his name many
years ago from the remark of one of
the gunners who was shooting over
him. 1t was about the time of the
bloody revolution in San Domingo. The
old chap was struck by a stray shot.
and the gunner picked him up and took
him into the pen with all the solicitude
of true sportsman. There was blood
on the gunner's hands and tears in his
eyes, and from that day the old chap
was called Mingo, named after the
island on which SO much blood was be-
ing split.
When the other decOys We're unable
to entice the northern strangers from
their course, old Mingo was tried. and
he seldom if ever failed of attracting
will, for the time being at least.
Whether he had peculiar tone to his
voice or whether he was a professional
''maSher" will never be known. but his
record was second to none along the
shores of that sportsmen's paradise, and
the gunners had all the game they
wanted if Mingo could catch the atten-
tion of the geese.
After his long and faithful service
old Mingo seemed to know just how to
work and when to put in his very best
efforts. His ideas of enticing the geese
seemed based on principles which We're
on a good foundation. He seldom
failed, and the old fellow has made
money for his owners and lots of sport
for the best gunners in the county. If
there was tenderfoot in the shooting
camp he was cautioned to look out and
not hit Mingo, but he at last fell vic
tim to the gun of an amateur who was
somewhat excited.
Mingo was owned by Thomas Arnold
of North Abingdon, and Mr.. Arnold
SAYS that if man should nave Offered
him two hundred dollars for the bird il
would have been no temptation to him
Mingo was just what he wanted. anC
the most knowing bird in the county
| The gunners gave Mingo a Christian
burial, and he now rests in grave dug
for him near his happy hunting ground

conhecTICuTS GYPSY PRINCE
He Makes Regular Horse Trading Tours
OF the Country

For over forty years family of gyp-
sizes have been residents of this state.
At the present time one of them claims
to be the head of the gypSies IN this
country. saws Bridgeport cOrrespOn-
dent of the New York Sun. He Is
Prince William and lives with his fam
ily near East Hartford. The East Hart
ford branch is the main branch of the
family All the male members of the
family are born horse traders and are
known all over New England as upright
and honest business men Attached to
their residence at East Hartford are
stables which in winter are always
filled with choice horses One of the
interesting sights at the barn are the
wagons in which Prince William and
family go off on their annual trips
These wagons cost from one thousand
to twenty-five hundred dollars each.
There are branches of the family in
New Haven and also in this city, and
when one of these trips about the coun-
try takes place the oJher branches JOIN
it. The trips are usually begun about
the Ist of August and sometimes eX-
tend into the winter months, the family
travelling in the south when cold
weather arrives in New England. The
family lately returned from a trip
which was begun last August. On
these trips spare horses are taken along
to trade. This means a cavalcade of a
dozen gorgeous wagons and about one
hundred horses. The entire family
men, women and children, go along.

easy stages, about twenty miles a day

Plenty of Big Game.

For an OLD settled state Arkansas
has more game than any other on
the St Francis river, where the cane
brakes are tall and dense, the country
seems alive with deer and bear. They
have peculiar way of hunting in
these brakes. They keep dogs and
horses specially trained for 1t. The
dogs. perhaps twenty or thirty, are
nut in the brake, and the horses are
trained to follow the dogs, and that Is
what they will do at all hazard AS
soon as the dogs take a trail and begin
to bay the horses strike out pell NELL
through woods. and brake, and swamp,
jumping everything in their course,
and plunging in a way that would ter
rify an English fox hunter The rider
has nothing to do, and that IS some
times more than enough, but to hold his
seat. He must keep close to the dogs,
for when the bear is brought to his
hind legs there is danger of losing three
or four of the valuable animals before
the beast is killed.
