STILL SLEEPS IN THE WINDOW.
Charles Hanson Stirs Only n Little,
Takes No Food, and Draws Crowds.

Charles Ha son, reclining upon green
plush couch in the window OF the Cen
sUs Pharmacy. slept as peacefully and
suundly all last night and yesterday as
though he Tad been resting IN his own
dnTny bed, far away from the madding
crowd. He is the young man who was
hypnutiZed yesterday morning.
Thus far the hypnotic test has seeming
ly been a complete success, the sensitive
remaining under the influence OF the spell
and slumbering as quietly as babe.
Large crowds thrunged the drug store
all yesterday afternoon, and by actual
count last night over 5000 persons view ed
the somnolent Subie
All interference with the sensitive"
was prevented by Nine. Macdonald, who
stood guard at his head, and time ana
time again explained bypnotisn and an
swered all manner of questions.
During the morning Hanson was Il tTifle
reStivc, and moved now and then. He
went into tie spell fearing that the couch
would prove uncomfortable, and this is the
cause OF his TeSiivcntsS, but his slumher is
otherwise peaceful and sound.

New York, Oct. 2s.-It is not probable
that the trials Of gen. Carlos Roloff. Col
Emilio NuneZ and other alleged Cuban
rlibusters. viii occur before November, in
The criminal branch Of the United States
circuit court. The only reason for the
delay in these trials Obtainablc in the
United State district attorneys office is
that there is no judge ready and willing
to try them at this time
The business of She current session of the
October term of the United States crimi-
nal court has been considerably interfered
With by the Illness OF Judge Brown. On
Monday. after imposing sentences and
transacting other routine business, he adj
iourned court until tomorrow, but it is not
likely that there W i'll be any cases tried on
that day.
Judge Brown will probably declare a re-

1t ia little remarkable that the G. A..

fnent in New York city. The reason is
shat no great effort has eyer been made
TO induce them to do so. 1t is from New

who call the veterans ''bummers. " It
does not seem that many Of the rich
men Of New York ever wore the blue, or
they would have more decency toward
those who did. They or their fathers
were probably at home making money
off the government while the ones who
are now veterans did the fighting and
got hard knocks and poor pay.

As 1t Should Be,


7 A fashion letter says that rich people
are now hard put to it to find any fabric
so costly that common people cannot
buy at least very good imitation of it.
They are also consumed with anxiety to
discover some style SO, elaborate and diff
sicult of attainment that working people
,cannos reconstruct it. It is this noble
ambition which has evolved the balloon
.skirts Of the present day. Men are more
Democratic in their requirements and
no longer attempt to do more than So
cure some fabric so high priced that
.:"common'' specimens Of their sex are
unable to purchase it.
This is exactly as it should be. When
the WORLD is properly civilized, people
who do the most work, whether mental
or physical, will be able to get the best
of everything that is going, and in
abundance too. We are on the road
thither now. A statistioian has found
that men and women of the present
day have 16 times as many Injuries ae
their parents had in 1850. Mechanical
invention has cheapened books, food.
wearing apparel, even jewels and arti-
Giles of luxury till honest people who
work for days. wages have more COM
forts and conveniences in their homeg
than even Queen Elizabeth had.
So it will go on. The time is coming,
and it ought to, when all mankind will
enjoy eqpal comforts and luxuries. Then
the only way in which one person can be
moro aristooratic than another will be
for him to strive for and attain mental
moral and physical perfection. Nobody
will feel jealous because beauty, good,
ness and intellectual attainments are
initsted by common people,
