The presence Of an hypnotist in the
city brings the new science clearly be-
fore the kpeople. Though travelling
hypnolists and mer have been
common for many years, 1t has been In
the past few years, only, that the SUBJ
ject of hypnotism has attracted the at
tention OF scientists and has been put
into practical use in the professions.
To define h~ypnotism, it is necessary
to begin, as with electricity, with the
phenomena. We know what this is
and we know that n person exercises
it over another, but there L knowl-
edge stops. What it is, in one mind,
that so influences another, is not known
and never will be explained, at least
until the human mind is more thor
oughly understood.
There can be but little interest at
tach to any new discovery, either in
the psychological or physical world.
unless some practical use can be made
of it. Hypnotism is of great value in
the medical profession and, If used hon.
estlY and %judicially, in other profess
sions and in business.
In the past few years, it has been
used to ONE extont in the detection of
guilt in criminals. "Ourel," himself
claims to have spent considerable time
in the past three years in working in
conjunction with police officers, in OBJ
confessions from criminals.
While the term hypnotism has not en-
into criminal Jurisprudence, the
have been and are. recognized by
courts of justice.
The Hayward-B lixt- Cling murder
case, in Minneapolis. Is n in which
played quite an important
part. William A. Barnes, the profess
sional hypnotist of Denver, Colorado,
was called to give expert testimony as
to whether or not Harry Hayward did
hypnotic Blixt and influence him to
commit the horrible deed OF numbering
Miss Glng. He found Blixt q ready
subject, he hypnotizsd him, subj ected
him to the most W. tests, and Sc
cured a confession from him of his hor-
rible crime, for which Hayward was
afterward hanged.

One Of the best known men about the In
dianapolis Board Of Trade Is Carlos F. Shop

nected with the house Of H. E. Kinney, grain
broker. Mr.. Shepard is a bluff, hearty, old
gentleman Of medium height, gray-headed
and with q mustache like a French veteran.
He is q man Of very decided views on all
subjects and Is especially orthodox in poll
