THE LOCAL SITUATION.
NEEDED DELIVERANCE.

WHAT THEY STAND FOR.
From the Watertown Times.
The contest in Greater New.fork is simply one
OF non pa tisanship in municipal affairs against

strongly from the Republican vote.
STILL A CHANCE OF UNION
From The Springfield Union.
Though the outlook for union OF the anti
many forces very dark there Is stu possibility

OF good government present solid front 10 the
enemy.

Has Hypnotic Jags,
Strange Case Of Reformed Topper Who Gets
Drunk in His Mind.

Physicians who have looked into
the case of Cyrus Gates, an old man
living near Blue Hill, Me-, says he is
hypnotic drunkard, a man who gets
intoxicated from the effects of his own
imagination. Years ago Gates was
we'll to do and looked upon the wine
when it was red, and took sundry
glances at other liquors OF diverse
colors and powers. Before his prop
erty was all gone cataracts came upon
both of his eyes, making him totally
blind. For the last ten years he has
lived in utter darkness and has been
fairly temperate because he could not
afford to purchase liquor.
Two or three times a year the old
hankering comes on, and then he
scrapes together what money he can
spare and sends to Ellsworth for a
quart or a half gallon of strong New
England rum. No sooner has he
given his order than he proceeds to
become jolly. laughing and singing
like a man who is half tipsy. His
pulse rises steadily until it reaches 100
beats a minute, and his eyes become
set and watery. Finally, after having
royal time, and smashing lot OF
furniture, he staggers off to bed and
lies in a stupor until the rum arrives.
Though he may have taken nothing
stronger than tea and water, he wakes
up with a headache and trembling
limbs, Ikea man who has been on a
protracted spree, and uses the rum
which he has bought for the purpose
of SOLDERING up.
