HYPNOTISM AT A FIRE.

Palestine (Tex) correspondence OF Tho Galveston
News
The professional hypnotist who has been In the
city for several days had an opportunity last night
OF demonstrating his power beyond contradiction,
and In IA manner that caused physicians TO look
amazed and interested. Just about the close OF a
performance the opera house last night the fire.
alarm sounded and 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 franticaly ran to the place and kicked through
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 regardless
OF glass or SASH. and into the Burning room
from where II took four men to carry him. and as
surances by them that his only babe was safe In a
house just across the street were unheeded by him.
They then carried him by force which required
where the child was. but he evidenced symptoms
OF commissions and was placed upon bed. and IL
seemed that scarcely enough men could get to him
TO hold him there. In the struggle the bedstead
was torn down. A prominent physician began

other than the statement that 1t Is still In its In
fancy
We do not see. however, that Floyds fire Is any
thing remarkable. 1t Is stated that to fry any
thing 1t Is only necessary ito hang the pan from a
wire and smear over the bottom with a spoonful
OF the liquid" and that 1.-The cook OF the future can
take her fire out into the country.
That is quite commonplace, but II the stuff would
hang itself from wire In pan, and take the cook
out into the country, or the pan would hang the
spoon It's bottom. and smear the cook over the
country, the spoon should wire the cook that the
fire was smeared over It's botom-if 1t was possible
In truth to say any OF these things about IT, then
should say that Floyds deathless fire was out
OF the ordinary and likely to be useful.
II Is strange what importance the lay press some
times attaches to really trivial matters.

in his humble sailors kit for fu-

his own princely presence, he Is
still anxious to parade these fad

THE PLANTERS RESPONSIBILITY


The sugar planters and their
associates are, in fact. the most
aggressive politicians in the Isl
ands. They are not conscious of
il, and may impatiently deny it,
but if they will think il out, will
see that they are the real State
builders, just as the little coral
insects are the builders of islands
without being conscious of it.
Even the children, who take
their first lessons in the way
communities are organized. learn
that the agricultural classes are
the back bone of Il State. All the
wise men say so, and have said so
for centuries. OF course. des-
pOtism, and the power of the
sword may keep this class down
for Il while, but. in the end ii
makes the character of the State.
4 Chinaman bought pair of
trousers in California. put OH Il
plug hat. then got drunk and
shouted: Me all same Mclean
man." but he was not, in spite of
his wishes. builder of Anglo
Saxon institutions.
AS the planters, as a rule, Sc
lect the IabOring population, they
make the foundations of the
State, and are responsible for it.
This responsibility cannot be
shifted of upon the Government,
unless il liz one of absolute des-
pOtism-
In the struggle for sugar plan
tatiOn existence, the planters do
not think much about this great
responsibility, and in the remote
districts are hardly conscious of
it, They leave this troublesome
some other body. or trust that Il
kind Providence will keep things
in order, and make atOnement for
any mistakes or sins. But the re
spOnsibility cannot be renowned.
Every time the planter puts
new IabOrer in the field he
touches our civilization. He puts
"a new brick into the political
structure.
The situation. here, is singular.
because sugar making is the one
great industry. If there were
another large industry. it would
share the responsibility of the
sugar planter. if it put many la
bOrers ON the soil. But there is
no other large industry, and the
planter must stand alone in his
responsibility. He cannot shift
il upon the Government. The
men in the Executive building
are. in fact. mere figureheads. as
they are generally in all Govern
ments, unless they become revo-
lutiOnists and break up things as
the leaders of the French revolu
tiOn did. $3.50
The management of Il planta
ton is a worrying affair, and
leaves little time for those who

problems. Let us not cross the
bridges until we reach them"
But there are invisible bridges
moral bridges-which are un-
seen. but have all the strength of
iron and stone, and communities
reach them and are on them with
out knowing it.
80, in spite of himself, the
planter sticks into the ground pO-
litical seed alongside of his sugar
cane seed. and the growth of
both seeds affects him financially
and politically.
