Phenomenon Usually Susceptible OF
Telepnthic Explanation.
Nine times in the course of my own
life 1 have had what is called u "Irc-
sentiment" Eight times l wrote it
downatonce, before learning whether it
was true or false, and the ninth time
I spoke of it, says Appleton's Science
Monthly. Three Of these were false, one
partly true and partly false, one was
not verified, but probably false. AL
these relate to subjects In my thoughts
md were probably suggested BY circum-
stances. Four were true, of which one
might have been suggested by circum-
stances. The other three were not only
true and not apparently suggested by
circumstances but were among the most
agitating experiences of my life. One
drove me in spite Of the resistance of
my reason to take journey which
seemed the act of lunatic and proved
the wisest thing I could do. Another
impelled me to write letter to per-
son $50 miles away, to whom l had
written a few hours before, but who
happened to be in great trouble at the
moment l felt the impulse. The third
gave me absolute assurance that the
very thing was about to happen which
I believed to be of all things most i'm
possible. I do not, Of course, quote
these few experiences as proving the
existence of telepathy, but merely as
illustrating what 1 mean by apparent
ly telepathic phenomena"
The vast majority of apparently su-
pernorinal phenomena are susceptible
of telepathic explanation, but in q
few cases one Is driven to other concep-
tons. Sometimes knowledge Is shown
of events not known TO anyone, and at
other times a percipient will seem to
"see" things at distance, or to become
aware of events remote in time.

Since Leo XIII. has filled the chair of
St. Peter, he has repressed the humor-

greatly in demand as diner-out while

he was deeply offended on one of these

"Is that really law of the placer

didn't. She wanted to get her breath,s'
she said, so she stepped inside and
leaned against the wall, and talked and
talked, and kept me answering idiotic
questions, as to how we all were, and
whether Philip had got over his cold,
etc. I have often found fault with
Winnie for not excusing herself from
callers when she. was busy, but never
will again, for simply could not brow
beat Mrs. Jones, nor get rid of her until
she was ready to go, unless l threw her
downstairs. After she was gone went
out feeling quite exhausted and I'M
hinged, and I concluded not to say any
thing this time to Winnie about the OBJ
Jet lesson.
What her impressions were when she
rot home I shall probably never know.
She couldn't tell me the cruel truth !;
but when came home tonight and the
house looked as peaceful and lovely as
any home could, felt like taking off my
hat to her, for IreaNzed, in some degree,
what she had TO do to make it so.
I found out, little by little, how sur
p1ised she was to find the windows open,
the shades up, the sun pouring in and
the flies walking over everything. Worst
of all, had not turned off the hot wa
ter. When it got ready to run, it ran,
filed up the sink and ran over, till, in
the kitchen below, it began to make
arabes4ues on the ceiling. Fortunately
I had notfastened the door of the dumb
waiter, and the janitor's boy pulled him
self up and turned the faucet before any
great damage was done.
Winnie did not reproach me, but said
that she appreciated my motive, and
that it was "reai sweet" of me to try
sc. hard TO help her.

JUDGE WILLIAM r. DAY.

him to Cuba as special counsel to
watch the prosecution Of the Ruiz in
Vestigation. 1t would be without pre-
cedent for such an official as the first
assistant secretary to go to another
country to prosecute case when later
on he might have to engage in diplo"
matte negotiations with that same
country on other subjects.
Judge Day said today that as he had
been selected for the position of as
sistant secretary of state he would
not make the trip to Havana to con-
duct the investigation into Ruiz's
death. The investigation, however,
would not be abandoned but would be
made by someone else, but who would
conduct it he did not know. He ad-
mitted that his selection for the as
sistant secretaryshlp was a surprise
to him, as he had made all his arrange
ments to go to Havana.
Senator Foraker will not oppose Mr..
Storers nomination to be minister to
Belgium, his objections not extending
to foreign mission.
Bellamy Storer, the new minister to
Belgium, is a native of Cincinnati,
where he was born in 1847, and has
lived SINCE his graduation from Har-
ward In 1857. He Is a practieing attor-
ney, and was first elected to the Fifty
first congress, serving on the foreign
affairs committee and taking a prom
inent part in debates on diplomatic
questions, and also on interstate COM
merce legislative problems.

Harrison Street Church.

That everything at Harrison Street
Church is in prosperous condition need
not be said. Since the coming Of the new
pastor especial interest seems to be mani
Tested In every department. The Church
services on Sundays, morning and even
ing, have been more largely attended than
ever before. Last Sunday in particular,
was this increase noticeable. H. A. Roop,I
who superyises the seating OF the congrega
tion, says that never before was there so
many people in the Church as on Sunday
evening while a great number could not
gain admission.
The Sunday School reached the unprece-i
dented number of AIS and the financial
Offering was the largest in the history Of
the school. The pastor has started o.
young mems Bible class IN the school and
VIII welcome all young men who wish TO-
join 1t. The women workers who have
done such noble work recently in the fur
nlshing of the new parsonage, are now
preparing to hold "Deesttict May Party
IN the basement Of the church which prom-
ises to be something especially fine. W
The trustees are preparing to pay off the
floating debt, and are in good position
to succeed. While the stewards are hold
ing up their end of thework in good form,
the choir under the efficient leadership OF
Mr.. David Constantine has become one Of
the best in the city, as was shown by their
line singing on Sunday last. In short
everything points to o very successful
year at Harrison Street Church. Come,
see US.

tie station ~ miles south of here. Just
beyond Wilcox is long trestle. When

the track, broke through the trestle,
and the engine, the men, baggage and
smoking cars were piled In a heap
in the stream below. Engineer Alvin
Adams, Of Mobile, was killed. and his
fireman, Jordon Jones, was fatally
scalded. Express Messenger Locke and
four negro tramps were slightly in
jured. The spikes holding the rails had

A Murderous Delusion.

Brooklyn, April 24.-Joseph OBrien,
a bookkeeper while walking through
City Hall park last night, was shot
twice by Daniel Iago. One of the shots
lodged In the right shoulder and the
other in the side. O'Brien was taken
to the Long Island hospital, where it is
said his chances for recovery are slight.
Iago was arrested. He declares that
about year ago he was shot five
times by crowd of men near Charles
ton, w. Va. and remained in the hos
pital for some time. He claimed that
he had followed the men, and that he
was placed in an insane asylum by
them in Wisconsin. He said that
O'Brien was one of the men. O'Brian
says that he has never before seen

mbassadors Are Not Jealous,

New York, April 24.-Mayor Strong
gives out for publication a letter from
Secretary Sherman, in which the latter
says: There has been a good deal of
foolish matter printed in the papers
here about the question of etiquette
as to whether the president and his
cabinet should precede ambassadors
of foreign countries and other mem
bers of the diplomatic corps In the
procession to the tomb of General
Grant. l am assured by Sir Julian
Pauncefote and the French ambas-
sador that the alleged struggle for
precedence between the members Of the
cabinet and the diplomatic corps is
pure fiction. The ambassadors will
take whatever position is assigned
them"

FINANCE AND TRADE. '
American Enterprises VIII Profit by
the War in Europe.


the War in Europe.
New York, April 24.-R. G. Dun g.
Co.'S weekly review of trade says; II
either Turkey or Greece had been
wholly buried In the sea markets
might have been affected less than by
the outbreaks of war In Europe. Like
fire In the heart of crowded city, 1t
raises the question whether a general
conflagration may spring out of 1t.
To this possibility, and not to the di-
rect influence of either Turkey or
Greece upon the worlds money or
produce markets, was due the excite
ment In grain and stocks. AS the un-
known is magnihed, American mar
kets were more fiighty than European,
where the possibilities have been dis
cussed and partly discounted for
months. But the uncertainty remains
and will affect movements of money
and staples until 1t disappears. Great
ing larger demand for American pro-
ducts at higher prices, and not im-
probably influencing the attitude Of
foreign powers on questions import
ant to this country.
Failures for the week have been 21S
in the United States, against 23S for tho
corresponding week last year, and q
In Canada. against "A last year.
Bradstreets' review says: The change
in conditions underlying general trade,
while slight this week. has been in the
direction of improvement. The depres-
sion in iron and steel continues, and
Bessemer pig and steel Nllets have
reacted another rs cents ton. The
outlook favors an increase in labor
disturbances. to resist midsummer
wages reductions. The bituminous
coal mining industry is worse off than
the anthracite, with rumors of strikes,
which promise to have an unfavor-
able influence on other than the iron
and steel Industries.

merely formality.
The adjourned Republican joint leg

THE SOUTHERN FLOODS.
Negro Farm Laborers in Fearful
State of Destitution.


Memphis. April A.-No new crevas-
ses have appeared in the levees. but
the river is beating against the south
ern embankments with a force that
causes the gravest apprehension. The
break at Delta has inundated $4,000
acres Of the finest plantations In
southern Louisiana, and the water
continues to pour through the opening
and is rapidly spreading. Reports from
Greenville are not encouraging. While
the water is slowly receding in the
overflowed district of the Yazoo delta.
yet it is almost certain that the plant
ing of this years crops will be 80 days
late. The negro laborers are in fear
full state Of destitution throughout the
