Merely a Courtroom Episode.

A courtroom episode of the kind which many people think happen only in books of humor and fiction occurred at Hunt ington, w. Va, last week. A murder trial in which the community was deep ly interested was in progress, and the courtroom was densely crowded. A bunch of negroes, getting somewhat ex- cited, disturbed the decorum of the pro- ceedings somewhat, and deputy sher- if was compelled to use a blackjack on the heads of some of them. This caused more excitement, and in a few minutes the spectators were in an uproar. Pis- tols, knives and razors were fiourished in dozens.
 The sheriff called in all his deputies to quell the disturbance, but they and their blackjacks only increased the up roar. The judge ordered the court clear ed, and this was the last straw. There was a general scrimmage, and "all the police force was required to compel the people to leave the room. The fracas continued in the street in such fashion that the court was compelled to ad- journ until the next morning. New York Sun.

WOMAN,s SHARE IN BANKS.

Extensive Throughout the Country and
 Yields Large Annual Incomes.
 The women of this country play 8 more important part in its banking af- fairs than they perhaps realize. They have large interest in the bank capital and figure as employees, shareholders, directors and officers.
 James II. Eckels, comptroller of the currency has compiled some interesting figures showing in part the interest of women i'll banking. The statistics cover both the national and state banks and were obtained in response to circular letters of inquiry.
 According to the showing, the num- Der of shares of national banks is 7,099, : 413, representing a total valuation of $688, GAP, S76. Of these women own 1 1,733, 772 shares, of value of $130, 681 492. The percentage of shares is 24. and of capital 18.9. The number of individual women holders of national bank stock is 70, 697
 It is rather curious to note that the women apparently have greater conf denee in national than in state banks The total shares and capital of the lat ter class of institutions is 3,6t8,804 and $S07, 151, ,716, respectively. Of this number 481, ,09S shares, representing $38, ,074,712 stand in the names of women. The percentages are respective ly 13.3 and 12.4 and the individual holders number 23, 146
 The women employees in the national banks of the country are 383 and Of the state banks 584. They receive total compensation from national banks of $185, 797 and from state banks $262, SAT. The average annual compensation of women in the former institutions is $185. 1 1 and ill the latter $450 Az Esti- mating the average dividends from bank stock at per cent, the women of the country for a year would receive an az gregate annual return from their invest ments in banks of more than $10, 900, : 900.

ODD HYPNOTISM.
A Father Unconsciously Exerts a Power
 full Influence Over His Family.

A Father Unconsciously Exerts a Power full Influence Over His Family. Hypnotists, of whom there are many i'll Cincinnati and some of the leading doctors are discussing a curious case in that city. A representative of big iron firm has wife and @ daughter, the lat ter aged g, lovely child, but whose health has seemed to fail for a year When her father was away, which was much of the time, the child seemed to be much brighter, but on the return of the father the child became pale, her appetite would disapper, and she would sleep for hours.
 The father was exceedingly fond of his child, and her abnormal conduct greatly distressed him. The apparent indifference of the mother added to his grief and a family rupture was immi- nent. The best doctors confessed their inability to diagnose the case.
 Walter Maxwell, manager of the Pal ace hotel, was friend of the family He is perhaps the best informed man on hypnotic phenomena in the west. He became interested in the case and de cided that the father, intensely fond of his child, had unconsciously hypnotized it, and the reflex influence had affected the wife and mother. Experiments proved the theory probably correct. Doctors were called. On the suggestion the father, who had not suspected his power, made heroic effort and con quered himself. The child is now all right, and the wife has changed her ways New York Recorder.

Caracas, Venezuela, Dec. 21.-If material
were wanting 10 increase the excitement
In the Venezuelan capital the wariike bul-
Ietins which are issued many times each
day would supply 1t. But there is no such
need. The intense feeling against England,
tits necessary TO repeat, only grows stronger
with the lapse of time. and there is now
call on every hand for the mobilization of
the national guard
There is every reason to suppose that the
government will give heed to this demand.
and it is probable that a special session
of Congress will be called. A meeting VIII
be held tomorrow in the Washington Plaza
and another in that named after the popu-
lar hero, Bolivar. A delegation OF cit
iZens will also visit Minister Thomas again
to reiterate the unanimous acceptance IN
Venezuela of the policy adopted by the
United States government in the boundary
dispute.
AT these meetings the merchants or the
country will also be urged 10 inaugurate
commercial war against British interest
by refusing to sell anything to the subjects
OF that nation or to trade with them In
any way.
The Venezuelan cabinet has discussed the
boundary question at great length today.
The result OF their deliberations has not
yet been announced: but many rumors are

ADULTERATIoN OF FOOD.

The inspectors OF the board OF health of
astounding adujterations of the ordinary
articles of food, such as co flee, vinegar
and pepper. Ground coffee was found to
consist of about one-half of the genuine
article, the other half being mixture of
chicory and bran. Vinegar was fearfully
water and pepper was a compound equally
remarkable for the absence OF pepper.
In some instances, of course, retail deal
ersmay be imposed upon by the jobbers, and
these, in turn, by the manufacturers, but
in many cases they are parties to the fraud
perpetrated upon the public. In the mat
ter OF coffee. for example, the gro Ger can
not be excused if he sells an adulterated
article. for it is he himself who grinds the
bean and mixes with the cheaper and some
times deleterious substances. To sell adul-
terated vinegar is to jeopardize the Gus
toner health, and in the sale of all adulter-
ated artieles-there is fraud. theft even, he
cause the dealer takes the full price for
an inferior article and gives the customer
the shadow for the substance.
Reputable dealers, of course, do not re-
quire surveillance, but there Is an army OF
dealers an occasional visitation of whose
establishments by the health inspectors
would disclose some singular compounds

AN EyENTFUL WEEK.

Very rarely since they began life have the
United States Congress and administration
crowded fmure history into one week than
they have In to the one Just closed. Whether
it shall be good history or bad history only
ere future can tell, as each critic now ap-
pears to have his own opinion about it
distinct from that of every other critic
The President reiterated the Monroe
dectrinein amanner which almost amounted
to declaration of war against Great
Britain. 1t was responded to with hasty
enthusiasm ON ( In. one hand and a financial
furry on the other that threatened to be-
come disastrous panic. Frightened at the
result of the message OF Tuesday, the Pres
ideDt came to ahe front on Wednesday with
another which really added fuel To the
fire, as it pictured a most doleful situa-
tion and begged Congress pitifully to refrain
from eating, Christmas pudding en- famille
and do something instanter to relieve the
situation, for which he admitted himself to
be responsible by the very character of
his message.
Since the war OF the rebellion there has
been no other such red-ietter week in Amer
lean history. 1t has rendered null the
prediction that this will be a do-nothing
Congress. 1t has made certain long de-
bates of the deepest interest, which viii
draw larger crowds of visitors to the Ma
tienal Capital than for many years past.
1t will make continued stupidity almost i'm
possible. The Committees on Ways and
Means, on Military Affairs, on Naval Az
fairs. on Foreign Affairs and on Banking
and Currency will become an aggregationor
oratorical gladiators on the floor, and
of planning, solemn statesmen, burdened
with matters of immeasurabie weight, in
the privacy of committee rooms
In brief, the extraordinary events of the
week will transform Congress from an
anticipated hum m-drum body into a Icgis-
! lature upon which the eyes of the whole
world, will be turned with absorbing inter
| est and curiosity. For this, If nothing more.
a vote of thanks will be due Mr.. Cleveland
for his efforts of two short days.

HOUSE BISTRICT COMMITTEE.

Though the majority of the membership
of the District Committee Of the House is
made up of new men, the record OF their
respective careers is such as TO give warrant
for the expectation that. with those Others
who have had experience in District affairs,
they will form good working body. And
the chief requirement of this committee is
that its members should be hard workers.
A great many matters of vital importance
to our people VIII engage the attention of
the committee. 1t will have to pass upon
measures, the success OF defeat of which
viii seriously affect The property. the
welfare and the comfert of everybody in
Washington. The subcommittee should
be so constituted as to Facilitate, and not
known reforms, among which the light
question is not the least. As each matter
develops before 1t, the committee should
give 1t careful and considerate attention.
and Judge 1t upon It's merits, instead OF
the representations of personally interested
parties, as has heretofore not infrcquently
been the case.
One other matter is Of paramount import
ance; 1t is that the District should have its
day in the House regularly twice a month.
There has always been disposition 10 play
q sort Of shuttiecock and battledore game
with District day" and to make it give
way whenever some pet measure happened
to interest the House. The injustice of this
is apparent; for Congress Is the Districts
common council. and ought to hold meet
ings regularly for the transaction of the
municipal business. On this point. the
committee should endeavor to secure a
distinct understanding, which should not
be deviated from save in q most pressing
emergency.
