CASToRTA,
RELIGIOUS MANIAs IN AMERICA.
Our Short History Is Full of Examples of
 Mental Epidemics.

Our Short History Is Full of Examples of
 Mental Epidemics.
 Turning now to the American. who somewhat resembles the Hebrew both in business ability and righteousness, we find social suggestion working in him on larger and grander scale. The Ameri- can is highly suggestible, and the short history of his national existence is full of instructive cases of mental epidemcs. A few instances will, perhaps, suffice for our purpose.
 At the beginning of the present century mania of religious revival swept over the continent of northern America, and reached it's acme in the camp meetings of the Kentucky reVivals." The first camp meeting in Kentucky was held at Cabin Creek, and continued four days and three nights. The scene was awful beyond description. The preaching, the praying, the singing. the shouting, the sobbing the fits of convulsons made of the camp a pandemonium. Religious suggestion soon affected the idle crowd of spectators and acted with such virulence that those who tried to escape were either struck by convulsions on the way, or impelled to return by some unknown. irresistible power The conta zion spread with great rapidity, and spared neither age nor sex
 The camp meeting of Indian Creek Harrison county, is especially interesting and instructive for it's bringing clearly to light the terrible power of suggestion The meeting was at first quiet and or derly. There was, of course, a good deal of praying, singing and shouting. but still nothing extraordinary occurred. The suggestion, however, did not fail to come, and this time 1t was given by a child. A boy of 12 mounted log, and raising his voice, began to preach. Tn a few moments he became the center of the religious mob. Thus, O sinners" he shouted, shall you drop into hell, unless yon forsake your eins and turn to the Lord," At that mo- ment some. one fell to the ground in con- vulsions, and soon the whole mob was struggling, wriggling, writhing and Jerking. In some camp meetings the religious mob took to dancing, and at last to barking like dogs. Men, women and children assumed the posture of dogs, moving on all fours, growing, snapping the teeth and barking.-"A Study of Men tai Epidemics,' by Boris Sids, in the October Century,

THEY HEARKENEO ID HANNA Who Whispered the Word Over
 the Wires. DIR. MOSELEY'S GAME FIGHT Avaed Naught and No Nomination Was Made by the Ninth District Repub-
 cans-Hot Session.
DIR. MOSELEYS GAME FIGHT

The republican executive committee of this, the Ninth Congressional district, met in this city yesterday in republican headquarters, corner of Seventeenth street and Second avenue
 Chairman Robert Barber presided, with Syl Jones. colored, as secretary.
 AS heretofore stated, the meeting was called for the purpose of considering the resignations of T. H. Aldrich as candi- date for congress and Louis E. Parsons, electoral candidate.
 The meeting was red hot from start to finish.
 After accepting the resignations speeches were made placing in nomna- tion for congress Robert Barber and pr. R. A. Moseley
 Before the nominations were seconded a motion was made to adjourn. Contrary to parliamentary usage the motion to adjourn was debated until near night fall and eloquence run riot.
 The motion finally prevailed and the committee adjourned until 7:30 o'clock last night
 Dr. Moseley drew first blood by having seated majority of pro xfes favorable to his nomination, but wh n the motion to adjourn was made his following stampeded and voted against him.
 On reassembling the committee went into executive session and again took up speech-making. It soon developed how ever, that some one had been "tampering with the witness, and the following reso- lution was passed
 Resolved, That we deem it impoitic to nominate republican for congress in this district, and inexpedient to indorse the candidacy of any candidate at pres ent."
 A. J. Warner colored, of Birmingham was nomna ted for elector of the Ninth district instead of MT. Parsons
 The committee recognized pr. Moseley and his committee as the legal republi- can committee of Jefferson county
 pr. Moseley made a gallant fight, and for more than twelve hours battled against heavy odds. When he seated his proxies and drew first blood he felt safe in securing the nomination, but on ad- Journment it was noticeable that he real ized the jig was up with him.
 The word had been sent, even by wire that no impeachment be placed by the re- publicans in the way of the boltocra tie nominee, and just before the committee convened last night one of the committee man, and friend and supporter of Nose ley, remarked to a State Herald reporter: "Patriotism can't stand up against money.
