A PIONEERS DEATH.
Benicia Mourns the Loss of an Old
and Good Citizen.

Hon. r. M Clarken, the attorney, re-
turned last evening from a visit to Be-
nicia, where he went to attend the fun
eral of the late Judge James Barry,
who died there last Saturday and was
buried yesterday. Mr.. Clarken's broth
err Matt Clarken, an attorney of San
Francisco, but formerly of this city,
was a son-in-law Of the deceased.
The funeral was the largest ever wit
messed in Benicia, the procession of car
riages and other conveyances being over
mile in length, besides the vast con-
course of friends who came on foot from
all directions, the occasion being made
a holiday of mourning, and business
ceased during the hours of the funeral.
Old-time associates of the early days
and friends of the family were in at
tendance from San Francisco, Sacra-
mento, Marysville, Vallejo, Stockton,
Martinez and other parts of the State
to testify the high esteem in which they
held the venerated pioneer and which
attached them to the family.
The funeral took place from the family
residence and from there moved to the
Catholic Church, where a grand re-
QUEEN high mass was celebrated, the
new and large edifice being completely
thronged with people of all denomina-
tons, gathered to pay last sad tri-
butte of reverential respect to their
friend and neighbour. The music was
rendered by large and specially Sc
lected choir.
The funeral sermon was pathetic and
touching to degree that reached the
hearts of all as they listened to an elo-
quent recital of the noble deeds of UNI
assumed charity that illustrated the life
of the first pioneer of that ancient Capt.
tai of the State. The good man was laid
to rest universally mourned as a de-
voted, fond husband, a loving and in
dugent parent, kind neighbor, and the
perfection of ALA good citizen.

HypnOtiSm in Texas.

The professional hypnotist who has
been in Palestine for several DAYS had
an opportunity last night of demon
strating his powers beyond contradic-
ton, and in a manner that caused ply
SicianS to look amazed and interested.
Just about the close of a performance
at the opera house the fire alarm was
sounded, and a young lady and gentle
man in attendance had left their babe
at the house which was burning When
the father discovered the house on fire
he seemed to have lost his reason, and
frantically ran to the place and kicked
through a large window light, cutting
his shoe in three or four places. and
got one ugly cash in his foot He then
made a dive through the window. re-

which required the combined strength
of four strong men, to where the child
was, but he evidenced symptoms of
commissions, and was placed upon a
bed, and it seemed that scarcely
enough men could get to him to hold
him there. In the struggle the bed
stead was torn down. A prominent
young physician began preparation of
medicine to be administered. Mean
while a boy had gone for a hypnotist,
who came up, requesting those holding
the gentleman to release him, re-
marking: He is only sleepy" Then,
gently placing his hands on his head,
he said: You are almost asleep: you
are going to sleep. Now, when l count
three you will sleep" The man ceased
his struggling and slept. He was allow
ed to remain quiet for only few min
utes, when the hypnotist began to talk
to him, assuring him that he would
soon awake, and would know nothing
about what had happened, which he
did at the operators command, and in
Amusement asked how he came to be
there, and what had soiled his clothes.
The babe was brought to him, and the
hypnotist quietly slipped out of the
crowd and departed.-Galveston News
