ARMIES ARRESTED AGAIN.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The sense
tional Armes case, arising out Of the
arrest of Major Armes and his con-
finement by order of General Scho-
field, who was acting secretery Of
war and just about retiring from tie
command Of the army. had another
sensational sequel today when the
District court of appeals overrulcd
The order of Judge Bradley, who had
released Armes on writ OF habeas
corpus and ordered his re-arrest and
that he be remanded to military
custody.
Judge Bradley, in his discharge OF
Armes. severely scored General
Schofield. Counsel for Armes doubt
less will appeal the case to the Unit
ted States supreme court. In its
opinion the court of appeals says
that Judge Bradley's action was en-
roneous. 1t directs him to vacate
his order discharging Armes, orders
that warrant be issued for his ar
rest and he then be remanded to the
custody OF Colonel Closson Of the
Washington barracks, under whose
direction he was confined at the bar
racks.
Mr.. Armes is a retired army officer
with the rank of captain and Ger
eral Schofield's order for his arrest
was based on an alleged insulting,
vituperative letter sent by Armes de-
nouncing the general eff the army.

REMARKABLE CoURTsHIP.
Psychic Phenomenon VOuch d for by
Confirmed old bachelor.

From the Washington Star: "Four or
five years ago. said bachelor in con-
versation with reporter, 81 had sweet
heart that was deeply in love with, and
wanted to marry, but / was afraid to
ask her. At that time was making a
study of psyhic phenomina, and that
sort of thing and it occurred to me to
make psychical proposal by projecting
my subjective mind around the corner to
where the girl lived and fixing it up
already for me when should take my
objective mind around to have the af-
fair ratified. | went around to see her
Thursday evening and felt sure that If
asked her l would get her, notwith-
ed in friend of mine, whom l shall
call George. Having doubts as to my
courage determined to make a test the
next evening, instead of going to see
her, SO retired early, that is, about nine
O'Clock and, according to formula, l
exerted my mental faculties to their ut
most and directed all my mental ener-
GIGS upon the subject and willed with all
my power that she accept me. For half
an hour, fully, | shut out every thought
but this important one, and went to
sleep or in a trance, under the mental
strain. | awoke an hour or two later,
and felt that my efforts had been sue
cess, and that it would be all right next
day when l called. | felt so encouraged
full dreams of her till morning. AT
three o'clock next afternoon / called to
make my proposal l talked 10 her on
some trivial subject or other for half an
ant subject.
J" Did you you feel any peculiar or
emotional sensation last evening" l
asked.
"She blushed violently and l was sure
that my subjective proposal had hit
center.
"'How did know anything about it?'
she replied, laughing somewhat ner-
vously.
"4Oh, that's all right smiled fri.
umphantly What time did ii occuri'
".Really l don't kno ', but it must
have been about 9:3o. remember
that l thought it odd that the clock
should strike just as it happened
Wasn't it rem arkable?'
II was coming to it by degrees and
wanted to see just where was.
/" No, don't think it was. she an.
swered indignantly. George has al
ways loved me, and his proposal last
night was quite what l expected, We
are to be married in June.
