FOUR WEEKS IN 4 TRANCE.
Strange Case or q Prisoner in Brooune County
yail-ls No y Victim OF Hypnotismt

BACKGAMMON, Aug. 5.-Georgo Seymour, a
prisoner at the county Jail, was taken to tho
City Hospital to-day to recover from o sleep into
which he sank four weeks ago. His case Is one
OF the most peculiar which has ever como under
the observation Of the local physicians. About
two months ago Mrs. Seymour engaged a horse
and carriage at ono OF the local liveries. She
did not return with tho rig, and detectives
traced hor to Ogdensburg, where she was ar
rested with her husband, who went away with
her. About a month after his arrest Seymour
began to show symptoms of drowsincss, from
which 1t was difficult to arouse him.. He grew
worse and would sink into long sleeps, from
which he was awakened after much difficulty.
About four weeks ago he sank into what APP
peared to be o trance state, and several physi-
clans were called in to see him. but they could
not bring him to consciousness, Batteries were
tried without success, and to-day his case was
given up as hopeless and he was removed to the
hospital.
Seymour was formerly q professional hypnotic
subject. He travelled forty.two weeks with a
hypnotist in Canada, and local physicians bo-
lieve that his condition is the result of repeated
subiections to hypnotic influence. At times he
was under hypnotic influence for several days
at q time.

astic New England college men. sound Of wind
and limb, with one from New York and another

planting the American flag upon the summit Of
Mount LEROY, one Of the highest and most stub
born peaks OF the Canadian Rockies. 1t is the

bin, Prof. Thompson Of the University Of Penn
sylvania. Profs. Fay and Mitchell of Tufts Col
lese, and Little OF Bowdoin College. With them
was Mr.. George II. Dixon, the crack climber Of

betrayed partly by the Appalachian Mountain
Club of Boston and partly by private subscrip-
ton. After making all needful observations
and photographs the party descended without
mishap.
Mount LEROY lies at the head of tho valley OF
Lake Louise. about twenty miles from the limo

lish an Armor Plant.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Acting Secretary
Roosevelt of the Navy Department to-day ap-
pointed q board of officers to estimate the cost
and devise methods for carrying out the inten-
ton Of Congress- to establish q Government
plant for the manufacture of armor plate. TIL
appointment of the board was contingent on the
refusal of tho big shipbuilding concerns to UNI
dertake armor manufacture. Charles Cramp of
Philadelphia had q conference with Acting Sec
rotary Roosevelt and Capt. O'Neill, the Chief of
Ordnance, to-day, and told them that his firm
could not 20 into the armor business on a largo
scale. He was willing. however. to undertake
to supply a small quantity of diagonal armor.
which is usually built into the structure OF a
ship, in order to prevent delay in the completion
of vessels now In course of construction.
Congress fixed $500 as the maximum price for
armor. and Mr.. Cramp said his firm might DO
able to make the plates at that figure.
The Union Iron Works OF San Francisco have
already declined to go into the armor industry.
and it Is expected that the only other concern
invited TO supply the Government-thc Newport
News Ship Building and Dry Dock Company
will likewise decline. so that there is nothing
for the Navy Department to do except 10 direct
the Armor Plant Board to proceed with its in
quiry. The board will meet next Monday nj the
Navy department to outline a plan OF pro
