ROYALTY SCHEME ABANDONED.

The Canadian Government Decides
to Give 1t Up.
Ottawa. Ont, Aug. 1.-THE Canadian
government has abandoned its absurd
scheme to compel miners going into the
Klondike diggings to pay a royalty OF 10 10
10 per cent upon all gold mined by them.
The ann nouncement that such an at
tempt would be made was received with
howl from the politicians and business
men OF the Northwest and Pacific coast,
who realize that under existing conditions

trouble and probably bloodsfled

HIS SPELL Is BROKEN
wouid-Be College Svengah tho
Victim Of a Joke.
He Gives a Mastery Exhibition of HIS
Powers, But His Subject Proves
to Be "Horse" of No
Mean Quality.

William Hartwell Webb, Northwest
ern university student, aspires to be
Syengali. His fellow students do not
place much confidence in his hypnotic
powers, and thereby hangs a tale. For
eight hours the other day Webb labored
under the impression that he had pro-
duced a hypnotic spell and was unable
to break it. More than a score OF stu
dents gathered around the subject and
feigned the utmost fear. When the sub
Jest, S. A. Tyndall, a scholar in the pre-
paratory department at the university,
finally "regained consciousness" WEBB
was almost frantic with delight. He
now declares that he will no longer
delve into the mysteries of hypnotism.
Webb, says the Chicago Inter Ocean,
is a member of the junior class and is
81 years old. In all of his studies he
bears an excellent record, but his av-
erages in the class of psychology have
particularly been irreproachable. He is
the prime favorite of Prof. G. A. Coe,
the instructor of this class, and great
things have been predicted for him in
the hypnotic line.
Several days ago Webb announced
that he would give an exhibition of his
hypnotic powers. The date was set,
and at the appointed hour the hall in the
university where Webb was to hold
forth was crowded to overlooking. The
majority of those present, however, had
not come to witness startling feats. In
fact, there were a few who were en-
yious of Webb's heralded ability in psy-
chology and they had premeditated his
downfall.
When Webb advanced to the rostruh
in the hall he announced that he was
ready for all corners. Tyndall volun-
teered himself as a subject and was
promptly accepted. The hypnotist first
made number of passes about the face
of the subject, and then he snapped his
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1897-05-20

fingers in Tyhdall's face. The latter did
not bulge.
"Now, then" announced Webb, in
unconcealed glee, the subject is in a
condition of passiveness. He will do
just what tell him."
Then he told Tyndall to chase cats,
dodge cannon balls and look at air
ships, all of which the subject did with
the utmost earnestness.
1t was a few minutes after one o'clock
when Webb commanded Tyndau to
awake. There was no response. Webb
snapped his fingers, rubbed Tyndall's
forehead and resorted to every con-
ceivable method of restoring the sub
iect, but without success. Then the real
exhibition came.
Gentlemen" said Webb, there is
something wrong here. This subject
cannot be brought out of his spell"
Explanations of anger burst from the
students present, and they urged,
threatened and begged Webb to do
something before Tyndall became be
reft of his faculties.
Webb trembled visibly, while perspi-
ration rolled from his forehead pro-
fusely. Finally he declared that only
one measure could be resorted to, and
that was to summon Prof Coe.
"Then go get him." yelled one of the
students.
Webb rushed from the hall to sum-
mon the professor. AS soon as he had
disappeared Tyndall suddenly "came
to-" and, lighting cigarette, perched
himself on the edge of the rostrum and
joined heartily in the merriment of the
jokers.
During this time Webb was running
excitedly about Evanston searching for
Prof. Coe He was unable to find even
the slightest trace of his instructor, and
with last hope that he would be able
to restore Tyndall he returned to the
hall. Again he worked on the subject,
who by this time had thrown away his
cigarette and resumed his trance"
Webb went through every formula
known to the art of hypnotism until
Tyndall became exhausted from his
"sleep" and returned to consciousness.

present from the girl he loved. In ten
minutes he was ''broke" again.
The fever was now burning fiercely
in his veins, and he cried recllessly:
I'll put up everything possess-the
shirt ON my back, if it comes to thatl"
| Wild with excitement, he sprang to
his feet and shouted: 81 will do you
fellows yet. I will keep up the game
even if 1 have to risk"
He stopped. His face became hvid.
He looked around like a Gagged beast,
Then, making a rush for the door, he
ffloaned: Not thatI Oh, heavens, ]
cannot risk thatI No! No! MOI"
AS he disappeared one of the players
remarked: "Poor devil! Iguess he was
going to put up some keepsake from his
mother"
But such was not the case. For one
awful moment Beason had been tempted
to risk his bicycle.
