between them. But wonder may now
cease. Lee has given the snap away.
The hypnotic influence is transmissible
by electrically charged wires. This I'M
doubtedly accounts for the Presidents
lethargy in giving out the offices.
Hanna doesn't call at the White House
often. But there is a telephone in the
White House and there is also a tele-
phone in Hanna's residence. The Presi-
dents old friends are surprised at his
slowness in rewarding the faithful. But
Hanna hasn't forced the tariff bill
through the Senate yet, and by use of
the telephone he is keeping the Presi-
dent in a hypnotic stupor until that
performance is accomplished. When
the tariff bill is passed Hanna will prob
ably ring off" the White House and
connect himself with the State of ONO
in time to hypnotic the next Legisla-
ture. which will elect a United States
Senator"

TO BANisR PALEFACES.
The Marriage of Their Prophecies Anglers
the OldtoWn Indiaas.

Oldtown, Me, April 13.-The Old
town Indians, whose tribal name is the
Tarrantines, have issued decree ban
ishing from their reservation, on an
island in the Penobscot, all white per-
sons. The edict, which is to be imme-
diately put into erect, was brought
about by the re-marriage Of Nine.
Bishop, the white sootn-sayer OF the
tribe.
Nine. Bishops mother gave her as a
child to the Indians to rear, and at
maturity she married one and became
the mother of a large family. She is
a noted prophet, and the Indians were
proud of her. Their pride increased
after she was left a widow, but when
recently she married a white man she
lost her prestige. The Indians last week
seized all her property and ordered her
and her husband to leave the island
without delay. which they did. Now
thew follow this up by banishing all
whites. which comes hard on many
souaws who have married white men.
It is not believed, however, that serl-
Gus trouble viii result.

The activity and interest exhibited
and the large attendance at the meet

The c,sE OF 5oHN L. FEHR.

The other day Mr.. John L. Fehr, the
manager of a newspaper at Charleston,
was arrested on an unprintable charge;
he was promptly indicted by the grand
Jury then in session and on Monday he
was tried and acquitted, the prosecuting
attorney throwing up the States case
against Fehr and asking the Judge to
instruct the jury to bring in a verdict
of not guilty. Later, the prosecuting
witness confessed the falsity of his tes-
timony.
This outcome of the case leads at once
and directly to the conclusion that Mr..
Fehr has been the innocent victim of
one of the most outrageous and damna-
BILE conspiracies in the annals of crime,
a conspiracy to ruin him utterly and
beyond repair, in business, in reputa-
ton. in social standing, TO cause him TO
be Stunned of all men as an unclean
outcast. and probably to suffer impriS-
onment If this conspiracy can be
traced and the conspirators brought to
Justice. no time should be lost in doing
so. They are worse than they would
falsely have made out Mr.. Fehr TO be.
They should be pilloried before the
world as the blacklist of black assas-
sins of reputation, which is more pre-
cious than worldly goods, and they

ONO HYPNOTISu.

The latest hypnotic story comes from
Ohio. whence so many great things
come. Tt is said that one Prof Lee,
standing at a telephone box in Column
bus. with his lips glued to the trans
mitter and the receiver screwed to his
ear. put "a prominent. educated young
man named Samuel Story who stood
at another telephone box in the town
Of Chilicothe. so miles away, I'm pro-
found hypnotic sleep" By instructions
from Prof Lee the Mayor of ChillicOthe
forced q hat pin through Story's right
arm "and the sleeper displayed nos the
least sign of pain and not a drop OF
blood issued from the wound Story
was awakened and hypnotiZed by wire
a second time with equally good results.
The same Professor" is also credited
with having buried a number Of people
at Cbuucothe in graves five feet deep
and resurrected them in a perfectly
healthy condition.
Commenting on this case an exchange
remarks that passing by the new dan
gers which these experiments suggest,
they open an interesting field Of specu-
lation as to how Ohio men in general and
Ohio politicians in particular have made
their influence felt in the nation dur
Ing the past several years. The nation
has marveled at their achievements on
so small a capital But this man Lee
has evidently revealed the secret. He
was developed" in Ohio, We are told.
and has not been out of the State much.
He is a politician, too. So is Mark
Hanna. Lee has never run for office.
Nor has Hanna. But Lee has success
6ully managed campaigns for other men
Who ran for Office. SO has Hanna. How
are We to know that Hanna also is not
q hypnotist? This seems to offer the
easiest explanation of Hannas proves.
II is known that he has had Mckinley
hvrnotized for years. The country has
been astonished, however. at the infu-
ence Hanna has had over his protege
even when hundreds of miles interviewed

4 MONETARY CONFERENCE

President Mckinley, evidently recog-
nizing the currency question as the par
amount issue of the hour, has been I'M
usually prompt in appointing the Amer
lean Commissioners to the proposed In
ternational Monetary Conference to be
promoted by this government. While
no man. but himself, possibly, can tell
where Mr.. Mckinley stands on this sub
ject, it is evidently his desire to get the
matter out of the way as soon as posi-
bic. and it must be admitted that the
International Conference proceeding is
a good enough way to dispose for the
present of an issue that is sorely both
ering the President and his party, and
which will bother them more before
long.
Probably like all preceding interna-
tional monetary conferences, this pro-
posed meeting will amCIn to nothing.
The collaborating nations of Europe
are hardly prepared to come to the 10
to 1 terms of the United States and that
is the only basis upon which there can
be any agreement; silver must be re-
stored to its proper place as a money
metal and this means that it shall have
restored to it all it was robbed of by
demonstration. Anything less than
this would be unfair to the American
people and a compound with goldbug
usury. This should be thoroughly I'M
derstood by the President and his Com
missioners before the latter set out.
The American people are of the unalter-
able belief that they are fully capable
of taking care of themselves and of es-
tablishing their own money standard;
TO facilitate international concert the
United States are willing TO confer with
other nations. but this does not mean
they may recede even a hairbreadth
from their position. In other words,
the free coinage party in the United
States-and it now constitutes an over
whelming majority of the people-has
taken a firm stand from which it cannot
be moved and it matters not what this
monetary conference may do, the fight
in the United States will be fought out
and won for free coinage at 16 to /
international, if other nations come to
our terms, independent if they do not
The personnel of the Commission ap-
pointed by the President is excellent,
and it is evident that Mr.. Mckinley
has endeavored to be as impartial as
possible between gold and silver in the
delicate task of selecting the three COM
missioners. Mr.. Charles J. Paine, of
Boston, is a Republican and a gold
standard advocate, while eX-President
Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois, is firm
friend of free silver coinage; the other
member. Senator Edward o. Wolcott,
of Colorado, is a silver Republican and
one of the original 16 to l free coinage
men. Hence, we may compliment the
President upon the wisdom and fairness
of his selections; neither goldbug nor
silverite, Republican nor Democrat, has
room to complain of the composition Of
the commission. While the Republic
cans have a majority of one on strict
partv vote. the silver men have the same
majority when it comes to drawing the
line on the currency issue. Indeed, the
commission could hardly have a nicer
balance, while its membership is guar
antee, that, whatever its work may
amount to, it will be conscienciously
