HYPNoTtzED AND BURIED.
Morbid Londoners Are Witnesses o7
 Most Revolting Spectacle.

Morbid sentiment has apparently reached it's height in England in a recent hypnotic exhibition at the Royal aqua rum, at which the subject was liter ally buried alive and allowed to remain so for six days, declares the New York World. The hypnotiZed man was sealed up in stout casket, and, in the pres ence of the spectators, lowered into grave nine feet deep.
 The lid of the casket was furnished with an aperture, and this connected with the shaft which led to the surface, making respiration possible, and also enabling spectators to view the face of the buried man.
 ;, At least seven feet of earth were shov- eled on top of the coffin, and for the period of six days it was not dis turbed.
 On the seventh day the casket was dug up in the presence of a large crowd. The man when awakened was apparent ly none the worse for his experience.
 The London Lancet, which prints the account of the distressing spectacle, comments on it, saying:
 Ut is difficult to imagine more re- volting experiment than this. Even granting that these frances have any use whatever-which we ourselves fail to admit-there can be no possible ex- cuse for making them more horrible than they already are by burying the man.
 Any experiment it was desired to perform could have been done equally well by sealing the man up in the box without going through the details of burying him and digging him up again. Moreover, under such circumstances, it is impossible to give him aid quickly should he need it, and, although acci- dents may be rare in hypnotism, their possibility is by no means to be neg lected"

DR.. Talmage and Miss Barton

L
Miss Clara Barton sails today to carry
help to the suffering in Armenia and Ana
tolia. So far as is known, she goes with
out the slightest assurance from the Turk
ish government of protection or assistance
in her mission.
The most remarkable tribute that has
been paid TO the modest courage and ui-
questioning faith of this woman was un-
consciously rendered a few days ago by a
person of very different character-the Rev.
DR.. Talmage of Washington.
The pulpit attudinizer informed his con-
gregation on Sunday of last week. when 1t
was generally supposed that Miss Barton
would have the protection OF the sultan
while in Turkey. that he himself would have
gone last summer on the same errand, pro-
yidjng he also could have obtained pernis-
sion from Cons:antinople. Fifty thousand
dollars was offered to him II he would per-
sonally undertake the distribution OF relief
in Armenia. But the sultan's government
declined to promise to him its protection,
and the holy and humane enterprise was
accordingly abandoned.
"A man." explained the Rev. DR.. Tai
mage, .'who would start up through the
muus,ains of Armenia with $4,000 and
no governmental protection would be guilty
of monumental foolhardiness."
Quietly and without self-advertisement
the woman now undertakes, as matter
of course, the difficult task which the
noisy preacher says he abandoned for con-
sideratioDs of personal safety. The Rev.
T. De Witt TalmaSe has managed to put
the contrast in a very striking light be-
fore the public. Ideas of duty differ.
Faith in Divine protection is not proved by
ranting protestations from the pulpit.

Judge Baker of tie United States district

cerning the antitrust law. In decision

Baker held that its organization was un-

is all the more remarkable because the
jurist who rendered it is known TO incline

President Kruger Is Right.

Speaking in regard TO the status of the
American mining engineers now imprisoned
at Pretoria, In the Transvaal, President
Kruger says very properly that Americans
who have not transgressed any law are iu
no danger whatever, but that those who
engaged in revolution against the govern
ment of the Transvaal republic, ''will be
tried according to law, and Justice will be
done all concerned without respect OF na-
tionality."
An American citizen is respected where
ever he goes SO long as he minds his own
business and does not mix himself up with
matters that do not concern him at all.
He enjoys the protection that his govern
ment can give him as long as he refrains
from acts which in his own country would
be unlawful, and respecting which he
ought to avoid even the sembiance of par
ticipation when he is in foreign land.
There he ought to hold aloof from all po-

The prospective success OF the pending
bond issue has developed at least two facts
that should prove an Invaluable lesson. 1t
has demonstrated that President Cleveland
turned the Treasury over to the gold spec

amount OF bonds would be sold to MAIN

Secretary Carlisle saw fit to redeem green
backs in silver there was sufficient gold in
our banks to supply all demands To settle

have been demanded for export gold, but it
would have been better to have compelled
its payment than TO increase our bonded
indebtedness, principal and interest, $497,-
0OO 900, as has been done by the policy
pursued by the President.
A special effort has been made in certain
financial circles to create the impression
that it was necessary to sell bonds abroad
in order tokeep up the supply in this country.
But it is now apparent that these same
Spectators have been shipping gold to

Hartford Times


The explosion in New Haven yesterday,
which caused the instant death OF three
men, was the result Of an attempt to con-
struct and operate successfully an ap-
plianee for regulating the outflow of acety-
lene gas from a steel cylinder, in which a
quantity OF this new il,uminant was con-
fined. The experiments in Pfieghar's
machine shop have been going on for two
months. 1t is said that the pressure OF
the gas in the two cylinders, which were
sent from New York to New Haven, was
800 pounds to the inch. MIR. Pfleghar, it
appears, had put the regulator on one OF
the cylinders and opened the vent, at the
same time applying lighted match to
the escaping gas. The explosion of the
tank took place Instantly, and shortly
afterwards the second tank exploded. 1t
is no secret that this gas is exceedingly
explosive when mixed with air. One Of
the New Haven papers publishes the follow
ing interesting information:
1.-The board OF underwriters of New York
city has formally declined TO write insur-
aDce on buildings where acetyicne is used.
This board came to the conclusion that the
gas in the cylinders is extremely dangerous
OF the board of underwriters OF New York
on being interviewed on the matter ex-
planned that pure acetylene was not explo
sive, but when mixed with air it was
extremely SO. The PiDtscb Light Co.,

ing with acetylene gas had an explosion

quently under similar circumstances. They
charged cylinder with gas with only
80 pounds pressure according to the gauge.
Suddenly the head blew out and crashed
through the roof, went up into the air, and
then fell back, demolisbing a chimney. You
can see for yourself how unsatisfactory
any gauge must be in case OF acetylene, for
80 pounds pressure could hardly cause such
an explosion. However, ] do not believe
that calcium carbide, from which acetylene
gas is made, can be manufactured at a
price which would make it available. 1t
will cost at least 500 ton. Even If 1t
can be manufactured in such way as not
to be explosive, the cost must be reduced
to SIS a ton to be used as an enricher.
will not say that there is absolutely no use
for the new gas, for at present it Is wholly
in the experimental stage"
In view OF these very unfortunate de-
velopments, We feel that we have done
only our duty in warning the public to
invest no money in acetylene gas schemes
until the actual commercial utility and
value of the new gas has been thoroughly
demonstrated. We doubt very much whether

AS far as can be learned, there is prac-
ticaIly No opposition to the expenditure
of any reasonable amount to increase our
water supply and improve our sanitary
condition. 1t may not be possible to adopt
the stringent measures recommended III
the report of the NJ, dical Society, nor are
they absolutely necessary TO the coed
health of the city, but better facilities for
the disposal of sewage are badly needed,
and the extensions of sewers and water
mains to every house In the city and the
thickly settled parts of the District ad-
Joining should be made rs soon as pra cti-
cable.
There is great objection, however, to the
bonding of the District to the amount OF
thirty or more millions of dollars to im-
prove private property. 1t is true that
the bond bill now before Congress pro-
yides for the sale of but ST 100000 OF
bonds, but 1t has been repeatedly demon
s,rated by men who ought to know that
this amount will not pay for the land to be
purchased, to say nothing of the improve
ments to be made. The only conclusion to
be reached is that subsequent Congresses
will be asked TO authorize additional bond
sales, aud the bond ring evidently depends
on the necessity of continuing the work
when il is once begun TO secure the sue
cess of its demands.

Argument In the California irrigation cases
was begun in the Supreme Court of the
United States yesterday. These are the
cases which ex-President Ha arrisou has
been engaged to argue in support of the
coDstitutiouality of what is known as the
Wright Irrigation Law of the State OF
California, and which Judge Rhodes will
conclude today, and Will probably be fol-
lowed by Mr.. George II. Maxwell, attorney
for the property owners in the Fall Brook
district case.
Mr.. Harrison is expected to speak next,
followed by ex-JIdge Dillon, both for the
law. Mr.. Joseph H. Choate will conclude
the argument, which will run over into
the session of Monday next in behalf of
property owners
This arrangement may be varied, how
ever, as several other counsel are present,
and 1t may be deemed best to have them
take part in the argument. Among these
are Mr. c. c. Wright, author of the law
involved; Mr.. R. Percy Wright, who has
had charge of the litigation in California,

-HE passage OF seven bflls In one day
donating condemned cannon to Grand
Army posts at various points, TO be
used In enibelishing monuments ereci-
ed to their deceased comrades, has
started an abnornia demand for condemned
cannon. II exemplifies the maxim that
everybody cen find use for something which
costs them nothing.
Members are already beginning to re-
ceive letters from their constituents ex-
pressing the belief that they should be given
a supply of discarded artillery. 1t is safe
to say these letters will increase and null
tiply until every crossroad and hamlet shall
have made application for from one TO
fifteen condemned cannon to be used Tor
orname ntal purposes.
1t will now be a difficult matter for
the members 10 explain why these requests
cannot in each instance be complied with.
A failure would mean having attention
called to the fact that one ma n pushed seven
OF these measures through the House IN a

what they were storing up in the way OF
future discomfort when legislation of this
character was permitted.
