THE VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.
The New York Adrertiser says: "The
rival factions in Virginia that have
been each stoutly contending for su-
premacy agreed Saturday to bury their
differences for this year and fight out
their ambitions in 1897, when they can
do so without prejudice to the party's
success in the nation. National Com.
mitteeman Bowden, of Norfolk county;
Judge p w. Strother. S. 3. Carney,
Park Agnew, Colonel William Lamb,
Colonel James d. Brady and Judge Ed
mund Waddill, representing the rival
forces, had three hours conference
with General Osborne, General Clay
ton and Colonel Scott, and came from
it, each pledged to the other to work in
perfect harmony for the national ticket.
Colonel Brady and Jake Temple left at
midnight, the advance guard of the
spell binders which will storm every
hamlet in the Old Dominion. Mr.. TEN
pie is under engagement to the New
York State committee, but was released
for month yesterday at the special re-
quest of General Osborne SO that his
services could be utilized in Virginia"
A dispatch from New York says
"Mark Hanna's proposition to enlarge
TO eight the campaign committee of five
originally appointed by him, which was
antagonstic to Col. Lamb, was recent
" accepted by the Lamb faction. The
committee was arranged by selecting
the new men from the Lamb faction,
and thus giving each party four repre-
SentatiyeS.
Congressman n. B. Scott, Of West
Virginia, member of the national exc.
cutive committee, has been added as o
ninth member to act as arbitrator be-
tween the two sections of the party
should any further differences arise
This comittee will have headquarters
in Richmond, and stubborn fight for
republicanism will be made in the seat
Of the old Confederacy. Col. William
Lamb, chairman of the State commit
tee, was made chairman Of the cam
paign committee. Col. Joseph ID.
Brady. of the other wing, is secretary,
and the other members of the commit
tee are George E. Bowden, member Of
the national committee; Congressman
James A. Walker, ]. B. Carney, Park
Agnew, Judge Strother and Judge
Waddil.
Col. Lamb spoke hopefully of the
outlook in Virginia, and declared that
with harmony within the party the
State could be carried for the repubi
can candidates. Col. Brady spoke in
similar vein. All of the members of
the committee mentioned above took
part in the conference, and, although
some very plain talk was INDUCED in,
they all started home together on the
same train apparently on good terms"

shown that he possessed the historic
spirit, but the wealth of detail which
he unearthed on this rather obscure
subject and the graphicness with
which it was presented were a surprise
and delight to all who heard him. He
discussed particularly the compost

Jesus was ever formally or informally
tried by the sanhedrin. 1t is hoped
that Mr.. Pittman win publish this

The reputation of Paine's celery
compound has grown by word of

others who needed it's healing,
strengthening power. The agreement
of opinion among the best-informed,
most obsevant class of people, in the
Well-tO-dO homes of our largest cities.
az well as in the more frugal town
communities, Paine's celery compound
is far in advance of any remedy.
Paine's celery compound is, in fact, the
only spring remedy ever heard of in
the home of practicing physicians.
This great remedy is not an ordinary
spring sarsaparilla, bitters, tonic, or
nervine. Paine's celery compound is as
far apart from any of these guess-wOrk
remedies as black is from white in the
eyes Of physicians who regularly pre-.
scribe il, use it themselves and carry it
home to their own families. Paine's
celery compound is the famous for.

school.
it is the duty of evry man or woman
who has been benefited by Paine S

and neighbors it's wonderful efficacy as
a spring remedy that is in every way
worthy OF the name.
The past of Paine's celery compound,
as every on who keeps informed Of
current events is well aware, IS a re-
markable story of sick people made
well, and of many persons, who had
given up health as wholly lost, made
strong as ever they were in their lives.
Paine's celery compound is the spring
remedy par excellence. No invigOrator
has been so much praised, discussed,
recommended and used by physicians,
and discerning, conservative men and
women in every walk of life.
The story of Paine's celery com
pound in q nutshell is that it makes
people well.

Round.


LANarRY, Tex, Feb. 21.-It took
Robert Fitzsimmons just ninety
seconds this afternoon to defeat
Peter Maher and become the
heavyweight champion of the
world. The fight took place in
the bottoms of the Rio Grande
River on the Mexican side, one
and half miles distant from the
Langtry depot.
Even to his friend it was evident
that the Irish lad was not in it
from the start. Before the round
had progressed thirty seconds
Maher attempted a foul and was
heatedly warned by the referee.
Fitzsimmons' coup was in the
form of one of his famous upper
hooks. with which he knocked
out Hall and broke the nose OF
Jack Steiner. his trainer.
Maher made a gallant effort to
get upon his feet when time was
called, but after getting half way,
to a recumbent position, he fell
back, and still had his head on the
floor when time was called and
the decision was awarded to the
Cornishman.

They Use It in Their Intrigues-Learned
 Men Pronounce Opinions.

Men Pronounce Op1n1Ons'
 An interesting case was recently brought before the criminal court of Munich. A Polish adventurer named Luberz-Czyuski had appeared in Dres- den as professional hypnotizer. Dres- den has many rich people who have nothing special tol1eep them employed: and the man with the unpronounceable name found plenty of faithful follow CTS. 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, Czyuski had already wife, and he tried to get out of the difficulty by a 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- notized his victim. Half a dozen learned men, says the Echo, Berlin, were summoned from as many uni versailles to decide whether it was possible to influence person to such an extent that all resistance is impos- sible. The jury failed to be convinced that such is the case. The charge against Czyuski, 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: ''I do not believe that hypnotic infu- 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 bark and crawl on all fours. But 1 be- ieve that all such people are only somewhat stupid individuals who fol low no other influence than the wish to appear interesting or to please-for some reason or other-the hypnotizer. have often discovered proofs of this One man, for instance, was told that in a certain place there was a wall too high for him to jump over.

It is impossible with a person feeling his responsibility, and neither judge nor jury could be influenced"
