Mr. Quay is about the last man IN the

"sordid'' and debasing to citizenship. be

The contest for United States senator

growing quite interesting in many sec
tons of the state. In numerous counties
business mems leagues have been formed
to promote the election of Hon. John
Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, Mr.. Wan
amaker is eminently business man, but
he is not without official experience. He
was P. NJ. General under President Har-
rison and applied business rules in that
department, greatly increasing the use

leaders in political or party organizations
but we do not need bosses. Mr.. Wana-
maker is a model Christian gentleman
and his election would tend greatly to

the great commonwealth. His election
would also be IN the line of purer poll

that followed his every dictatiOn and obeyed
his commands like soulless animals. They
saw him retard or suspend the circulation,
saw him suspend in his subjects all sense of
feeling. With a few exceptions, the mem
bers of the medical fraternity accepted his
theories, and no longer looked ON his claims
as shallow pretensions.
The exceptions, however were strenuous
in their opposition to the hypnotist and en-
deavored to defeat his aims and purposes
but failed. Santaneli was heavily fined on
a charge of assaulting one of his subjects
the proceeding being brought by man who
had, not seen the performance. When San
tanelli announced his intention of throwing
a man into a sleep from which he should
not awaken, the city stood aghast. The ig-
ncrant shtddered scientists declared it i'm
possible, while the doctors were more vehe-
ment than ever in their declarations of in
credulity. Humane people Immediately be-
came greatly concerned and proclaimed their
intention of stopping the performance. In
the midst of all the agitation Santanelli went
serenely on and on the date assigned he put
Mahoney in bed and ordered him to go to
sleep and not to awaken until a-eertain time.
There was a large number of medical men
and prominent citizens present when Maho-
ney began his long sleep on Monday evening
March 80. Santanellf announced that the
bodily functions would be practically sus-
pended. The subject would neither hunger
nor thirst nor feel the ordinary wants of a
human being. Before passing into the hyp-
motto sleep Mafloney was examined by COM
mittee of medical men, and his bodily condi-
tions were as follows: Weight, 1924 pounds:
respiration. II; pulse, rs; temperature, SO 3-5.

An Up-to-Ddte :.

Santanelli.1 the professional hypnotist who
recently excited so much controversy among
the physicians of Fort Wayne, is in New
York amazing the Gothamites with his up-to-
date Svengalsm. He is not stirring up such
a sensation in the metropolis as he did in
Indiana for the blase New Workers are used
to miracles and are not readily excited.
In Fort Wayne, Santanelli sat the town by
the ears by suspending the bodily functions
of one James Mahoney for five days. The
period Of Mahoney's Inconsistencies was
more unpleasant for the hypnotist himself
than for the subject of his powers. The whole
medical profession of the town united in
prosecuting Santanelli, who was arrested and
threatened with the direst penalties of the
law If injury resulted to Mahoney from his
enforced slumber. From legal standpoint
the case was remarkable, as it was the first
known arrest for an offense of this nature.
strange feature Of the hypnotist's theory
is that the cessation of the bodily functions
in human being is actually the same physi-
cal principle which enables the bear to hiber-
nate. If, he argues, bear can put himself
to sleep for weeks at a time, there is no
reason why man cannot do the same thing.
When Santanelliaarriyed in Fort Wayne, he
invited all the members of the medical fra
ternity to meet him and witness his expert
ments. Accordingly, large number of ply
sicians, with students from the Fort Wayne
college of medicine, gathered in the parlors
of his hotel for the purpose indicated. The
doctors did not go with the belief that San
tanelli was genuine hypnotist. With one
or two exceptions, they were imbued with the
idea that he was charlatan. They went to
see him, however, and witnessed the trans

Holds the Brewers Down to Four
Scattered Hits.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, April 25.-Four hits for
total Of five bases was sall the Brewers could
do with Hutchison, and not man of them
walked to first base. Wetterer cracked out
hit in the third inning, Hartman made an
other in the fourth, and in the sixth Weaver
made a double and Hartman another single,
and that settled the Brewers. So far as stick
work was concerned with Barnes it was diff
ferent. Wilmot and his players seemed to
find no trouble in gauging the Western
sociation wonder, and eleven times safe
drives were sent whistling to divers parts of
the grounds. In infield work neither team
particularly distinguished itself 1t
simply case of the pitcher having a team
at his mercy and holding them right where
he wanted them from the time the game
began until the crowds went home, denounc-
ing Twitchell. In the first inning after
Ncol, Weaver and Hartman had been re-
tired in order, portly Frank, who grows more
portly every time he comes to Milwaukee,
got base on balls. Lally flied out to- Weay-
er, but Wilmot got in a hit. While Wer-
den was dodging wide outcurve, Frank stole
third, and Wilmot second. Spear threw to
third to catch Frank, but the ball went over
Hartmans head and Frank scored. Werden
went out on a line hit to Taylor, but just
before he did, Wilmot stole third, and scored
on Wetterer's error of Schriver's grounder.
In the third Milwaukee scored its first run.
Wetterer hit for base and got around on
a sacrifice by Spear and by Ball and
Healy. In the last of the third single by
Lally, a double by Wilmot a base balls
to Werden and error by Nicol gave Min
neapoliS two. In the fourth the Mllers got
three more. Singles by Healy, Frank and
Lally, sacrifice by Ball, and a triple to the
right field by Wilmot scored them. In the
sixth Milwaukee got its second and last run
on a double by reliable William Weaver and
a single by Hartman, and in the eighth Min

BOTH BOW AND STROKE,
ST. Paul Gets Two Good Places in
Yale,s Crew.

Yale's Crew.
Few communities, especially in the West.
have ever received such honors in college
athletics as are this year accorded to st.
Paul, one of it's sons being sure of a DO
sition as stroke of the Yale crew at Henley,
while another is almost certain to be in the
bow of that boat. At any rate he has been
measured, and the No. l seat is being ad-
justed to his proportions, which is reasona-
bly, sign that he will be in it at the
finish when the turbid stream in the tight
little island is feathered by his skimming
oars in June.
Both are deservedly popular oarsmen at
home as well as at Yale. George Langford,
who is stroke this year, as he was last, is no
novice although the same could not be said
a year ago, the varsity race that year being
his first race. Hervey Simpson is promoted
this year from the place in the substitute list,
which he occupied last year.
Yeensians are especially enthusiastic over
Langford. In a Letter to the Detroit Free
Press, l.. s. Trowbridge Jr. says of the crew:
Langford, as stroke. is very remarkable
oarsman. Entering college last year, he
stroked the varsity to victory last June
against Harvard, very unusual thing for
a freshman to do. This year he is in bet
ter shape than ever and very easily adapts
himself to the quicker stroke which the
shorter distance demands.
Capt. Treadway Is fixture at No. T.
He is natural oarsnlan. and by far the
best individual oar in the university. He
has been in the varsity boat for two years.
and also in the 90 freshman boat. AS he
has to coach the crew great deal of late,
Patterson has been taking his place. Pat
terson was not able to secure a place last
year, and was dropped early in the season,
but this year he has greatly improved.
LOngacre holds No., g. and is as strong an
oar as there is in the college He was sub
stitute guard the football team last fall,
where his giant strength was clearly seen.
He also has rowed for two years in the var
sity boat. e.el
No. will be filled by Bailey. Bailey is a
junior, was in the freshman crew, and last
