MORE STRIKES EXPECTED.
Three Thousand Garment Worker
Ont Nau YnrE

Three Thousand Garment Workers
Out at New, York.
New York Aug. 9.-There were no dis
turbanceS among the striking tailors on
the East Side today. The intense heat,
police vigilance, and the orders of the
strike leaders to preserve the peace, all
operated together in makingft a very
quiet day.
This week will probably usher in a new
series of strikes. The fever is still spread
ing, and before it disappears every branch
of the clothing trade will fall under its
influence. The Knee Pantsmakers' Union
| is in restless state. The union has a
mem bership of 500 men and 700 girls
| A meeting will be held tomorrow night,
when it is almost certain that strike
| will be determined upon
The Progressive Tailors' Union, a So
cialist organization, will meet on Thursday
night at Liberty Han and Will probably
order u trike. There are 500 men and
500 women and girls in this union. A
general demand for better wages and con-
| ditions VIII be made.
The Tailor Jacketinakers' Union, with
| 900 members, may also strike this week.
| The ChiIdren's Jacketmakers' Union were
| happy today over the fact that 12O Con-
tractors had given in. Only 25 shops are
still holding out, and they are expected
| to fall In line in a day or so.
The Pantsmakers' Union met today at
No II Cannon street. where the report was
given out that 1,500 men in New York
and Brooklyn had struck during the morn
ing. This makes about 5000 out
The demands Of the union will be pu,
in the form OF an agreement, and the
contractors win find the documents ready
for their signatures tomorrow. The con-
| tractors are said to be in sympathy with
the pantsmakers, as they wish to secure
better rates FROM the manufacturers thenI-
selves.

DANGERS OF HYPNOTISM.

Again has a case been brought to public
notice which affords proof of the danger
attending the practices OF the unscientific
hypnotist and points to the imperative
necessity of legal control. In Western
city one OF these professors put his
subject into hypnotic trance and then
buried him four feet underground to be
restored TO Consciousness at the expirat atiOn
OF seventy-two hours. It so happened that
the .'subject'' awoke after having heen
in the grave about one-half OF the al
lotted time, set up lusty yelling, and
was resurrected, but the professor i'm
mediately rehypnotized him and he was re-
of an audience after the seventy-two hours
had elapsed. Fortunately there had been
watchers at the grave faithful to their
trust; had they absented themselves, the
consequences might have been too terri
BILE to contemplate.
It is unnecessary to argue the reality
or unreaiity of hypnotic phenomena. That
they can be produced admits of no doubt,
nor can 1t be questioned that they may be
employed with great benefit to the indi-
vIduai if regulated by skilled physicians.
There is ample evidence of the most re-
liable character that in the treatment of
nervous diseases, and also OF some other
complaints, and frequently in surgical oper-
ations, the hypnotizatson of the sufferer
has been attended with the most bcne-
ficiaI results. Char cot, MaureL Lieb-
schuetz and other famous specialists have
given positive testimony, based uEon per-
sonai experience, to this effect. Numer-
Gus physicians employ hypnotism In the
treatment of some of their patients.
These very facts, however, point TO the
necessity of guarding against the abuse
OF a power at once SO bencficent and so
dangerous. Instances are on record OF
hypnousm having been resorted to for
criminal purposes. and the possibility OF
this being done is clearly apparent from
the fact that the influence can be used for
good Purposes. It's time that the legal as
well as the medical profession should take
notice of this subject aud use their efforts
to the enactment Of legislation which will
make 1t unla wful for quacks, charla-
tans aud mountebanks to hypnotic any
body.

Law sUIrs. BUT NO LIGHTS.

:
That pet of the District Commissioners :
perhaps it would be more nearly correct
to say that pet OF Commissioner Truesdell-
the Potomac Electric Light and Power
Company, appears to be of the opinion
of that famous FrenchmaD whose motto
was "L'audace, Paudace; toujours Pau
lace!' for it is reported that it intends
TO interfere with an Injunction il Col. Will

of a company fully equipped in the terri
tory into which it is trying to Greak by
the aid OF It's friend, the aforesaid Mr..
Truesdell, aided by the vote OF AaJcr
Powell.
That this litigation win prevent for
several months the improved Illumination
of parks and squares, does not matter TO
the Potomac Company. 1t is proceeding
with the sanction, approval and favsr OF
two-thirds of the District triocracy, and
does not care a Eaubec for the public or
any one else. Until tie courts Or Congress
put an extinguis her upon it, it is eIinS TO

large community the authority of the
legislature and judiciary has been SO ao-
solutely and oontemptuously ignored as in
this instance. This, of course, could not
have been done by the Potomac Company
If it had nothad the active and cnconcealed
assistance of the Commissioners-Prcide
Ross always accepted. In fact, the com
pany ia not as much to blame as Mr..
Truesdell and his colleague, Major Powell,
for 1t is natural that it should seek 10 make
the most OF its opportunities. The offend

to the intent OF Congress. overriding and
ignoring the clear opinion Of their official
adviser, and preferring instead to be guided
by the arguments of the attorney for the
suppnant corporation. 1t may be noted
in passing that the written explanation
of Mr.. Truesdell's vote. presumably submit
ted by him in justification OF his action,
bears all the earmarks of a brief prepared
by the counsel for the corporation.
1t is probably useless to complain at
present The people of the District, un-
rortunateiy, cannot obtain relief from such
high handed proceedings, save through
Congress or the courts, unless, indeed, the
President could be induced to reorganize
the Board OF Comm issioners, a contingency
entirely too rem ote TO be considered. There
will be litigation, but 10 lights-thanks to
Commissioner Truesdell and his colleague,
Major Powell.

where silver Is Strong.

The people OF the East, by the way. will
never know how deep and passionate is
the sentiment of some Of the Western States
on the silver question. They may know
q little of il after election. but the figures
cannot tell how it enters into the daily
lives of the people. In Colorado the women
have for long time been wearing silver
dollars as brooches, and the Free Silver
Store" '.Tbe Sixteen TO One Exchange"
The Free Coinage Bazaar." and similar
signs are common in Denver over the doors
of business houses In letters from four
distinct firms, have seen silver dollars
stamped on the letter heads. Unlike Cal
iforpta. you cannot say word against
the silver question In Colorado without
running the risk of being fnsnlted or even
roughly handled. A Denver Democratic
critic wrote that an actor had "won
golden opinions" and the managing ed
itor struck the sentence out--Denver

LATE DR.. TONER'S WEALTH
Contents of His Will to Remain Un-
know Until September.
Mr.. Justice Morris and the Doctors
position Of the Property.

Although the will of the late DR.. Toner
has not been made public yet, some facts
in relation 80 it liaye been gathered which
will not only interest the friends OF his
family, but the public generally.
Ii has been stated that Justice Al F.
Morris Is the executor Of the will. Justice
Morris is now at Cresson Springs, Pa, and
will not return to the city until tine latter
part OF September. Until then the con-
tents of the will cannot be detinitel inown.
1t may however. be positively stated thas
Justice Morris is the executor and that
the estate, with possibly some few special
bequests OF personal articles. Is left to
pr- Toner'S brother.
very interesting fact has been ascer-
tanned, that the great estate is ultima teiy
to b. devoted TO cduca tional and charitable
purposes There is no trust for these
purposes explicitly set forth in the docu-
ment, from which it is fairly to be inferred
that it will devolve eventually on Dr..
Toner'S brother and Justice Morris To name
the beneficiaEes, thus giving the iegatee
and executor an extraordinary power. This
is not very remarkable in this case. how
ever, considering the very close personal
relations between Dr. Toner and Justice
Morris and the iatter's consequent intimate
knowledge of the desires OF the testator.
and the natural relations OF trust and con-
fidence bet ween DR.. Toner and his brother.
Tie bequeathinS off the estate absolutely
to his brother VII sufficient for thetestator
under these circumstances. DR.. Toner'S ul-
terror intentions being known
1t is not likely that anything will occur
to change the present conditions except
the finding OF some heretofore unknown
modification or change
That Dr. Toner should have thus disposed
of his estate is not a matter OF surprise.
He had a keen sympathy with the educa-
tionaI advancement ofthe city and also with
its charitable Institutions. He was himself
hotii physician md scholar. His associates
were the literary and professional Set and
t;,e executor OF his will was chosen from
among the justices
TIE reading OF the will, it is expected,
speak only in general terms as to the
bequests for charitable purposes. II will
remain with Justice Morris and the ierates
to declare the doctors specific purposes

CASINO BUILDING A TOTAL LOSS.
Planes Destroyed q Beautiful strue-
t1re in E'fttsburg.

Pittsburg. Penn. Dec 1.-THE beautiful
and costly Casino building in ScheIey
park was destroyed by fire early this
morning. The flames originated from the
bursting Of a large ammonia cylinder in
the ice machine of the skating rink. The
loss is estimated at s500.0
The explosion occurred at 2:1s a m. The
fire department responding promptly. bu;
considerable time was lost in getting ef.
fective streams on the building on account
OF the deep hollow which extends aloha
side where the fire started. NoxIous vapars
which filled the interior prevented the Gre
men from entering the Casino and fighting
The flames from the inside. BY 4 o'clocK
the whole structure was burning and IA ade
a grand sight. The Casino cost 500. 90

During the conhagration the bridge
across the hollow was crowded. When the
fire appeared at the eastern end of the bal

there was a great scattering. Many spec.
tators were cut on and compelled to pass

TOM SHARkEY GETS IT
LEGAL FIGHT ron THE BIG PURSE
- OVER
Judge sanderson Refused 10 Reeow-
nfse nm Action which Might
LegaIiEe Prize Fighting.

San Francisco. Dec. 1.-THE fight be-
tween Sharkey and FItzsimmons for the
possession OF a $1,000 purse was concIud-
cd today when Judge Sanderson of the
superior court dissolved the injunction re-
straining the Angio-california bank from
cashing the check. Counsel for Sharkey
called the attention Of the court 10 the
state law forbidding prize fighting. be-
tween which and a glove contest" he
maintained, there was no difference, and
he therefore argued that a case involving
the possession Of a purse for prize hght-
ing had no standing In court.
The judge concurred in this view and
said he would have terminated the pro-
ceedings earlier had that point been called
10 his judicial attention. The court held
that under the California statute the
civic beard Of supervisors had no more
power to legalfze a prize fight than 20
sanction a duel. The decision concluded
as follows:
There is no question in my mind that
the parties In this engagement or exhibit
ten. or whatever you call IL, the COM
plalnt calls It a boxing contest, are in
dictable under the law and that the peo-
PIE who witnessed it are amenabIe as
lswbreakers. / understand that these ex-
hibitions are permitted and they are given
because the people and police wink at
them But no court will recognize any
such proceeding. and there is no doubt in
my mind that this injunction should be
dissolved and 1t would have been dis
solved IL the motion had been made Inn
mediately upon the heels of issuing 1t, as
the court In fact expected. The order to
dissolve the Injunction will be granted
and the complaint stricken from the
flies"
The whole proceedings were over and
Fftzsimmons and Julian looked decidedly
gium. while their attorneys looked re-
signed. Sharkey was not there to witness
his triumph FItzsimmons' attorney said
that the courts decision ended the fight
for the purse. He admitted his client was
knocked out by the law. Neither Sharkey
mol Lynch, his hacker, presented the
check for payment TO the Anglo-Califor-
mia bank this afternoon.
