Hypnotizing by Telephone.

The wonders OF the telephone never
cease. The latest brought to the atten-
ton of the New York Electrical En-.
gineer is the hypnotizing of a young
boy through the medium of the tele-
phone at Houston, Texas. 1t is need,
less to surmlse, adds the Engineer, that
the subject was pronounced catalep-
tic; but the fact brought to light would
seem to indicate more strongly than
ever the necessity for stringent law
against the promiscuous practice OF
hypnotizing. The Engineer does not
imagine that many persons could be in
fluenced hypnotically over the tele
phone, yet it believes it will be just as
well to guard against such practices by
prompt and effective legislation.-Sar
Francisco Chronicle.

instances where resistance was made
the White Caps shot the victim full of
bullets. Cabins were usually burned
after the whipping had taken place.
This went on for years. The authori-
ties made some feeble attempts to
prosecute the White Caps, but it was
impossible to get the slightest evidence
against them.
When 1t was found that they were as
immune from the law as the outlaws
had been they turned their attention to
those guilty of minor offenses and be-
came themselves the victims of a
moral laxity. They took to regulating
domestic difficulties between husbands
and wives. They punished petty
thieves and the victims of vice with the
same barbarty they had meeted out
to murderers and the larger criminals.
Neighborhood quarrels, petty hates and
personal dislikes We're made the sub
iect of white capplng and politics be-
gan to play Its part in the outrages
Scores of innocent men and women
were whipped and submitted to tor
lures unspeakable. In still more cases
the property of the victims was con-
fiscated by their prosecutors. The or
gani2ation became lax and admitted
members who used it to wreak their
personal spite Men in twos and threes
began TO do White Cap work on their
own account and the parent organlza-
ton found itself charged with crimes
and prosecutions of which it had no
knowledge. White Gaping ceased for
n time under the stern rule of the late
Governor Gray, but it again ragged un-
dor Governor Matthews. although he
stroye his best to put it down. The
evil has again come to the front, and
Governor Mount has ordered thor
ough investigation of the terrible af-
fair at Osgood that the guilty men may
be brought to justice. The sudden and
apparently general revival of white
cappinG in Indiana is causing much
concern In official circles, aud there Is

TO respect the law In certain coun-
Ties of the State regular White Cap
organizations are in existence. The
members are known to many citizens
who would gladly give evidence against
them but for the fear that the local au-
thorities would not be able to protect
them against the violence which might
result
Many of the recent outrages have

instance in the same county man was

would not work, though a physician
was attending him at the time and tes-
tilted afterward that it was impossible
for his patient to perform any kind of
labor. This man was receiving aid
from the township trustees and the
reason for attempting to drive him to
work was that he might not be bur-

Indiana is conceded to be the home of
the White Cap. 1t is in the Hoosier
State that the organization and prac-
tice had their birth, and, although both
have since spread to many States. the
people of no other community have
been so afflicted with them as have the
lndianans. How or by whom the first
White Cap organization was formed is
not known, but early in the SOS it be-
gan operations, and its success in rid
ding certain localities of miscreants
led to the rapid spread of the organiza-
ton in many parts of the State. These
men, wearing white pillow-cases over
their heads and shoulders, with holes
cut through to enable them to see, be-
gan switching better living into the
lawless element. Armed with switches
they would ride silently up to the home
of an outlaw, and, taking him un-
awares, would switch him nearly to
death. In several cases death did re-
suit from the beatings which were adj
ministered usually to the outlaw and
his whole family irrespective of sex.
The White Caps were regularly organ
lied and governed with great sternness
and secrecy. No one was admitted un-
less his character for honesty was
above reproach. A sitting was held
where ii was thought desirable that the
organization take up some special case.
When 1t had decided that punishment

victim had no warning, until some
night a score of men broke into his
cabin and whipped him almost to death
at his OWN gate post. He was then

country. The death which in many in
stances followed refusals to obey this
mandate had salutary effect In some

"Selfishness" of Lincoln

Mr.. Lincoln once remarked to a fel-
loW-passenger on the old-tlme mud
wagon coach on the corduroy road
which antedated railroads, that all men
were prompted by selfishness in going
good or evil. His fellow passenger
was antagonizing his position when
they were passing over corduroy
bridge that spanned a slough.
AS they crossed this bridge says the
Springfield Qll.) Monitor, and the mud
wagon was shaking like Sucker with
chills, they espied an old razor backed
sow on the bank of the slough, making
terrible noise because her pigs had
got into the slough and were unable to
get out, and in danger of drowning. As
the old coach began to climb the hill
side, Mr.. Lincoln called out, Driver.
can't you stop just moment?" The
driver replied, "If the other feller don't
object"
The other feller'-who was no less
a parsonage than Colonel" e. D..
Baker, the gallant general who gave
his life in defense of Old Glory at
Balls Bluff-did not "object" when Mr..
Lincoln jumped out, ran back to the
slough, and began to lift the little pigs
out of the mud and water, and place
them on the bank. When he returned
Col. Baker remarked: Now, Abe,
where does selfishness come in on this
little episode? "Why, bless your soul,
Ed, that was the very essence of self
ishness. | would have had no peace Of
mind all day had | gone on and left
that suffering old SOW worrying over
those pigs. did 1t to get peace of
mind, don't you see?"

Fat Sometimes Helms

Speaking in a paper on the subject
of the various diet cures for fatness,
the eminent authority, DIR. Andrew
Wilson, says: Doubtless starches and
sugars, represented in such vegetable
foods as bread, rice, tapioca and the
like, are fat formers. The living body
has a power of making fat out of that
which is not fat. And along with this
point is another-that fat Itself does
not go directly at least, to make fat in
the body. Fat is, on the other hand,
a valuable addition to the diet of a cor
pulent person, because 1t has a power
properly administered of burning off
food excess. In more than one sys-
TEN of body reduction fat is, therefore,
administered as an essential part and
parcel of the diet cure

great Indignation among the order-lov-
ing citizens was that of the whipping
of widow on account of alleged i'm
proper conduct. Her husband had died
a year before, and she was trying to
cultivate piece of poor land and make
a living for herself and two small chill
dren She was the associate of her
nearest neighbors, regularly attended
the country church, and no one had
ever breathed word against her char
acter To the surprise of all her friends
she was taken from her home at night
and threatened with a whipping if she
did not leave the neighborhood. Only
her piteous pleading saved her from the
pain and indignity which the White
Caps intended to inflict. 1t is said in
behalf of the White Cap organization
of the county that it was not the mover
in this outrage, and that none of its
members were present, but the citizens
who have appealed for relief point to
this fact as an additional reason for
the disbanding of the organization, for
it illustrated what may be done in its
name.

HOW TIN SOLDIERS ARE MADE
Those in Turkish or Greek Uniform
Most Popular This Year.


Toy soldiers made of tin or lead,
/ are just as great favorites with chill
dren now as they were In the days of
our grandfathers, said a wholesale
New York dealer. The soldiers are
made almost exclusively In Nurem-
berg and Furth, Germany, where clever
artisans are employed by the numer.
GUS manufacturers to design and mold
them. The process of manufacture Is
interesting. The first step Is to make
sketches of the intended figures. Great
pains are bestowed on them. The best
artists in Germany do not hesitate
when asked to supply models for these
toy soldiers, and IN making their draw.
lngs they have to bear in mind certain
fixed rules. Their sketches must be
colored. They must avoid deep tinta
and select only bright, gaudy colors,
which children so much prefer. They
must also possess n full knowledge of
the military costumes of the period to
which the soldier they represents be-
longs. This year the Turkish and
Greek soldiers are the leading favor
ties.
"At Nuremberg and Furth slate
molds are used for the plain figures.
while brass molds are employed for
those In relief. The slate for the for
mer Is bought at Sonneberg, in Thurin-
gia, and the tin, which is purchased In
England, is melted and poured into
them through small orlfice.
"The metal soon hardens when it has
been poured In, and the workman then
removes the figures, cutting Off any
eXcresences which may have been
caused by the molten metal running
over the interstices
THE soldiers then have to be paint
ed, and this is always done by women,
who work at home, and are given a
certain number OF figures upon piece
Of wood slit up the center, so as to
hold them In n fixed position. When
one side of the figure Is dry the wom-
an turns 1t round and paints the other
side. Her wages are very poor. The
final process, also intrusted to women,
Is that of packing the soldiers, which
are placed In boxes of 80, 60. 100 and
240 pieces, weighing one-eighth, one
quarter, one-half or one pound for the
Infantry, and of ~, "a, 4S or SO pieces,
of the same weight, for the cavalry

Hit, but Not Killed by a Cannon Ball.

A unique distinction belongs to Sll
Robert Rawlinson, X. G. B.-that of be
ing the only soldier who has been
knocked out of the saddle by cannon
ball without being killed. The identi-
cal forty-two- pound shot is preserved
by Lady Rawlinson as an interesting
relic. At the Crimea Sir Robert was
riding with group of artillery officers
when he announced his intention OF
turning back. At this moment a shot
from the Russian lines came whizzlng
along in front of him, cutting the reins
and pommel of the saddle, and wedg
ing a steel purse with terrific force
against the riders hip-bone.

husband, Capt. William Henry, was an

gloom upon her life which she has tried
to tighten by her work for womankind.

Light Here.

The people of Providence may
have no further opportunity this
year of seeing the Brown foot
ball team play. The reason for this
is that games thus far played here have
not been we'll patronized. Only a few

nons of the other games has reached 1000
