There would be little in hypnotism,
and the scientific world might rightly
ignore its Importance as a subject of
investigation, if it We're proved to have
nothing more in it than The dominance
Of one will over another, or the power of
so-ca.led "suggestion" 10 control human
minds, says writer in Harper's
Bazaar.
But as with any other subject wort in
vestigating, much more is revealed to The
student of hypnotism than that which
he at first sets out to discover. No sooner,
for instance, has he established beyond
question proofs of the power of mind
over mind, aud of suggest ion'' in con-
troll, than he is forced to recognize how
little potency lies i'll either when com
pared to that great power Of resistance to
them which is generated by an lndivid-
uai's own strength of character.
No hypnotism i'll the world, as great
authority has shown, can make a really
temperate person, when under hypnotic
control, simulate or yield to drunkenness !;
nor can truly modest person he induced
to do that which would, in waking hours,
SAVIOR of immodesty. The man with true
dignity of soul keeps his dignity intact,
and one of real Kind uess of nature
shows no glimmer of harsh feeling.
And thus, as can readily be seen, one
more proof from an unexpected source
has been added to those already in our
possession going to show the Va ne aud
power of character, of that VIII ch a man
inherently and intrinsicaily is, rather
than that which he appears to be. 1t
makes out, too, even harder case agn'ust
Adam, who need never have Vie died.

Legally Bound to Scapegrace and a
Vagrant.
Judge Catlin yesterday refused to
grant Mamie A. Cummings a divorce
from William J. Cummings because all
the evidence offered in support of the
plaintiffs claim to a separation was
based on hearsay
Mrs. Cummings testified that her hus-
band had been convicted of vagrancy,
and that he is living with a disreputa
bic woman in Grass Valley, and has
been for several months. The mother
of the woman in question testified on
Mrs. Cummings behalf that her daugh-
Ter had been placed by Cummings in a.
house Of ill-fame, but admitted that
her information was second-handed.
All the allegations made by the wife
were doubtless susceptible of proof but
the persons by whom the proofs could
be made had not been subpenaed, prob
ably because of the expense entailed
in bringing them from Grass Valley
So Attorney Martin Devine relied upon
the testimony Of Mrs. Cummings and
the mother Of the girl with whom Cum
mings is living.
Judge Catlin, while sympathizing
with the plaintiff, said he could not
grant a divorce on hearsay testimony
SO he dismissed the case without pref

Arguments on the motion of the
Trustees of Reclamation District No.
072 embracing the Pocket" lands) to
strike out the appeal Of Charles J.
Schreiner and T. Slawson from the order
Of the Board of Supervisors organizing
the new district, were partially heard
yesterday by Judge Johnson. Alvin j.
Bruner and J. A. c. Ball appeared on
behalf of the petitioners, and William
Sims for the respondents.
The lands in the new district were
formerly embraced in District 535, ex-
tending south from the southern limits
Of the city to near Freeport. There
was a clash of interests between the
highlanders and lowlanders, and as
they could not agree on certain methods
of reclamation and became involved in
litigation, several Of the lowlanders
seeded and formed the new district,
where they propose putting in pump
ing plant.
The district received the recognition
of the Supervisors, whereupon Schreiner
and Slawson of the old district appealed
to the Superior Court to set aside the
order creating District 6T3. The argu-
ments heard yesterday We're on a mo-
ton to strike out this appeal, which in
wolves a constitutional questionable
validity of the Act OF 1890 providing
therefor.
