Freezing o. n Cure. All.

The hypnotizing experiments which have
been attracting attention recall to mind
the notions of n certain Swedish "profes-
sOr," who vaunted the surprising advan-
tages Of his peculiar process for curing dis
eases. He proposed to freeze sufferers from
any and every malady. by slow degrees.
into state Of insensiblity. to cure their
ills while they remained In the torpid state
and eventually to thaw them back to con-
seriousness and the full enjoyment of their
pristine health and strength. One would
say that It would be rather easier to get
subjects to submit to hypnotism than TO
this freezing" process, however III they
might be.

NEW STORY OF LINCOLN,
Made Ills Visitor Take OFF His Shirt and
Show Wound


President Cleveland had breezy and
interesting caller at the White House the
other day, writes Walter Wellman, In the
person Of Governor Upham, of Wisconsin.
The president and the governor had a
good, old-fashioned chat. In the course of
which the visitor told little story.
Just thirty-three years ago, Mr.. Pres
ident," said he, II stood In this very room
talking to the man who was then president
of the United States. 1t was Mr. Lincoln.
Senator Doolittle. from my state. brought
me up here and introduced me and told
Mr.. Lincoln that had just come from the
rebel prison hospital In Richmond, where
I had been for three months with a gum
shot wound in my shoulder To my great
amazement President Lincoln asked me
to take Off my coat Inasmuch as was a
soldier and he the COMMUNICATIVE chief of
the army and navy, I promptly but won
deringly obeyed orders. Take Off your
shirt, please said Mr.. Lincoln, and I
pulled Off my shirt. I want to see your
wound explained the president, and he
stood me up by that window and looked
closely at the spot where the bullet had
entered my shoulder. He was as sympa-
thetic as any woman could be and said
all manner of nice things to me. I sup
pose I am the only living man who was
ever asked by n president Of the United
States to take off his coat and shirt In the
White House."

Buffalo, July 7.-Buffalo lost to syra-
cuse In free hitting game today. Kill
roy and McGsnnis were the opposing
twirlers. While the latter was touched
up more freely than Kilroy, the salt
towner was much too free with his
bases on balls. almost every one Of
which resulted in a tally. OF the hits
made by the home team, seven were of
the scratch variety and two bordered
on errors of the fielders. With one run
behind in the eighth the bases was
filled with Buffalo men. One man was
out and Lewee was expected to score
the winning run. He went out on an
easy pop fly to Eagan. and Dowse was
substituted for McGa,nis at the bat.

Athletic Work,

Athletic work.
BY the score Of II to IL the Reporters
Base Ball club was beaten by a club
composed Of printers Saturday after
aeon on the James Boys grounds. The
game lasted seven innings. and was
close from start to finish; II was lost by
the reporters through poor base run
ming.
The brilliant battery work of Brown
and Owen. for the reporters. was the
feature OF the contest, and II required
the united efforts Of the players behind
them to lose the game. Crossin and
McGuig@n oftlclated In the box for the
printers and were Wild at times.
Aside from the battery work the fea-
lures OF the game were the infleld work
OF Dennis Kelly and T. ]. Duffy. and the
heavy batting Of Thomas Owens.
