BELIEVED TO BE A VICTIM.
What occurred is not known, but sus-
pected. When Riggs returned home on
Monday of last week he took his broth
er-in-law into his confidence and told
him OF the wonderful feats performed
at Harrisburg. He said he had seen peo-
pie, while under the hypnotic influence
have sticks run down their throats and
imagine them swords. He had seen
them devour paper, thinking 1t ice

UMBRELLA ON A LAWYER.
Striking Testimony of Womnn
Plaintiff in a Assault Case.

Washington, Ind, June I'm. S.
Hastings, attorney for the defense in an
assault and battery case, was severely
belabored with an umbi ella in Squire
kendalps court by the complaining wit.
ness, woman named McTegart She
was asked to show how she had been
assaulted by the wife of Wesley Rplan,
brakeman. Mr.. Hastings handed her
an umbrella and looked at her in olilz-
zical manner. She obey instructions in
s. truly striking manner.
Firmly seizins the umbrella, sine
brought 1t down with a resoundlng
whack upon Mr.. Hastings head. She
repeated the blow several times, and
then her desire to procure verdict
prompted her to turn toward the jurors
to impress them with a similar obte.t
lesson. She was restrained with Diff
Guilty. The incident caused such laugh
ter that 1t was impossible to proceed
with the case, and it was dismissed.
The original assault was committed be-
cause Mrs. Rolan saw the plaintiff talk
ing with her husband.

THE WORK OF BILTMORE.
What Is Being Done on George Van
derbilt's Great Estate.


derbilt's Great Estate.
BiItmore the magnificent estate OF
George Vanderbilt, at Asheville, n. c., is
not, as many persons have supposed,
merely rich mans fad. On the contrary,
its 50, 900 acres are intended to show what
cultivation may do. Mr.. Morton, the Sec
reiary of Agriculture, recently spent a
week at Butmore.
On his return to Washington the Secre-
tary told his colleagues that he had seen
the most perfect system of roadways; an
exhibition also of landscape gardening
that cannot be paralleled; and buildings
which, for fitness as dwellings, stables,
barns, dairies, propagating- houses, hem
neries and other uses, surpass any within
his knowledge.
Il consider Mr.. Vanderbilt,s work
there, said the Secretary, s'iust as impor-
tant to the agricultural interests of this
country as the Department of Agriculture
at Washington. He employs more men
than l have under my charge, and think
he is spending more money every year
than Congress approprlates for this de-
partment. His men are promoted for
efficiency according to the most practical
civil service rules.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is building up an edu-
cational institution that will be of the
greatest value 10 scientific farmers and
teachers for the instruction of Others in
domestic architecture, in agriculture, for
estry, viticulture, dairying, road-making,
and other useful sciences.
ut Is one of the grandest undertakings
that individual enterprise ever attempted,
and l understand that it is the owners in
tention to leave it as legacy to the pub
lie.
"The people down there talk about the
enormous amount of money that Mr..

Steam Engine and a Pulley Used in
Reducing a Dislocation.
Probably as queer piece of backwoods
surgery as has ever been described" says
frequenter of the region, twas that per-
formed by Moosehead Lake guide known
as 'Old Sabattus,' twenty years ago.
The man was not an indian, as the nick
name implies, but Yankee, one of those
rough fellows formerly characteristic OF
that locality. This guide was left on a
lake steamboat at one of the far-up land
ings while the engineer went ashore with
the company. A man named Meservey
came aboard, and in fooling around the
boat he managed to tum ple down into
the fire pit and put his shoulder out of
Joint.
Here was dilemma. The other mem
bers OF the party would not be back for
half an hour and the injured man was in
great pain. The guide was a man of ex-
pedients. He got rope and tied his pa
tient securely to post. Then he tied an
other rope around the mans wrist and
hitched the loose end of it to the pulley of
the engine. He managed somehow to
turn on steam and the pulley began TO
wind up the rope. 1t drew the arm out
tight in beautiful shape and presently the
Joint snapped back into its socket. Then
'Sabattus' jumped around to shut off
steam, while the pully kept on winding.
Holy Moses gasped the guide, excitedly,
how does it go? | don't know where it
