Delig htful Entertainment Provided
by Miss Wilson and Her Pupils.
The annual song recital by Miss Wilson
and her pupils at Metzerott Music Hall last
evening was very enjoyable event and
attracted an audience which taxed the
seating capacity of the room TO its fullest
extent.
The programme opened with a selection
by the ladies' chorus of fifty voices. and
included solos by Mr. and Mrs w l. Wilson
and Misses Thompson, Robert, Bangs, Nye
and PiIlsbury. Mrs. Wilson's fine voice
was in particularly good form.

chorus: Misses Burton. Biscoe Bowbeer,

terials imaginable, with a profusion of
lace wherever ii has been possible TO add
this becoming and softening effect.
In the list of petticoats there are some
very charming novelties, not the least OF
which are those made with adjustable
ruffles. In this way it is POSSIBLE to
detach one Tuftle or set of 1ufiles and re-
place them with a fresh one without having
the entire skirt relaundered The Fe-
dora skirts are made with deep muslin
ruffles, edged with finest lace. AT inter-
vals OF half yard there run up the skirt
rows of insertion, with bow OF ribbon at
the top.
When it is desired to shorten the skirt
for golf playing, stroll through the
country, or any such thing, 1t is readily
accomplished by means OF these same rib
bons and rows of insertion. The bows
are pulled up untl the skirt is shirred TO
the desired length and then, without fear
of spelling its daintiness, the wearer can
start off with impuuity upon the dustiest
stroll imaginable.
The fancy for silk underwear is not prom
inent in Miss Wanamaker's trousseau, as
there are but six sets of white and coloTed
silk underwear These are to be used
with certain morning gowns which they
match i'll general design and trimmings.

WASHINGTON, Sept. s.-J L. Thomas
attorney general for the postoffice depart

ating the former ruling ofth department
in the case of The Times Heralds prize

Is says. Replying to your communica-

still adhere to my former ruling that the
scheme OF The Times Herald, of your city,
Offering prizes to those sending the best
solutions of puzzle, is not q lottery. there
being degrees of excellence in the So
luton.
This is not an enterprise offering prizes
dependent on lot or chance within the
meaning of the anti-lottcry statutes. On
the contrary, prizes are specifically made
to depend On merit. Whether the prizes
are awarded in good faith to those fur
nishing the best solutions is question of
fact, which can determine only
upon evidence obtained BY the inspector
and transmitted to me- The Inspector,
after a thorough and personal cxamina-
ton, reported that in his opinion the pub
fishers of the Times-H Herald do award the
prizes fairly to those whom the judges ap-
pointed for that purpose hold are entitled
to them under the terms of the offer.
This report, as to the facts in the case is

great sensation in England, and since that

Opinion of an Old Catholic Bishop of
FolisI, Romauists In Rebellion.

GREEN BAY, Wis, sept. 7.-Rt. Rev.
J. Rcnatus Nilattc, bishop of the Old
Catholic church in America, has refused
to recognize or assist the convention of
the disaffcctcd Polish Roman Catholic
church which is to be held ut Cleveland,
Sept. Il and IL. In u communication to
Rev. kolaszcwski he informs him that he
will not be present at the convention to
preside over it. as requested, and would
not sanction the movement in any way.
The reasons assigned for his action are
that by their refusal to acknowledge the
doctrines of the American Old Catholic
church as right, and by clinging to the
doctrines of the Roman Catholic church,
especially to the papacy, they stamp them
selves rs being Roman Catholics still, but
Roman Catholics in rebellion against their
church. and as such l. will have nothing
to do with them.

DEADLY BACTERIA
Terrible Weapon in the Hands
Of the Unrighteous.
CRIMINAL POTENCY OF THE BEAST


Might Have Saved Holmes a Lot Of
Trouble-Icarned Doctors Discuss Hyp-
notism in Its Relation to Crime, and One
Gives Some startling Facts.
NEW YORK, Sept. AT the Medico-
Legal Congress Dk Gibier said that bac-
teriology should be very carefully consid-
cred from criminal point of view, for
bacteria could be used more easily and
with more certain deadly results by muir
dcrcrs than arsenic or antimony or any
other poison. The professor told Of his
having been asked by man whom he sus-
pectcd of criminal intent as to what traces
might be discovered in case Of injection OF
use in any way OF bacteria on "a person.
Bacteria could be turned said the doc
tor, ito more deadly account than dyna.
mite. Any plague or disease could be i'm
troiuccd by the mere throwing in water
or milk Of cultivated bacilli. Bacterioio-
gists should keep their cultivations as
carefully locked up and under watch as
their pois ons.'
Hypnotism Connected with Crime.
An interesting subject discussed was
isg a paper by Clark Bell on .'Hypnotism
in the Courts of Law" Bell sent IL letter
to several prominent physicians asking:
"Can crime be committed by the hyp-
notizer, the subject being the unconscious
and innocent agent and instrument: If
the subject is unconscious. and even un-
willing, has the hypnotizcr such power
and dominion over the hypnotized us could
control action to the extent of the COM
mission of II crime? Is it possible to re-
move by hypnotic suggestion from the
mind of the s,H5jcct all memory of acts or
occurrences which happen in the hypnotic
state: Would it be possible for hypnoti-
Ger to so control IA hypnotizcd subject as
to, for example, make him sign will in
the presence Of third persons, declare it to
be his will, and request them to sign as
a.testfng witnesses and be aftcrward
wholly unconscious of the occurrcnceg Or
q note of hand or II chcck:''
Experts on the subject Differ.
Replies in the affirmative were received
frIn several eminent professors, while
Others, conccding that persons in n hyp-
MOTTO state are constantly amcnablc to
control by suggestion, denied that hypnot-
ism has any place in criminal jurispru-

Of bicycling. The exercise was indorscd

but the wearing of boomers by feminine
,wheclists was put down as something out
rageous. Several physicians talked upon
the subject and all agreed that temperate

Legsings and plated skirts were recon-
mended for women riders, but bloomers
were unanimously declared to be an
