has been practced, and adopts there jeai-
ously guard their secret. These same
aderts. SO Mr. Brown declares. excel all
men i'm the world as hypnOtists. He says
they can hyprotize whole crowds without
making "a single motion but simply by an
effort of will.
The following trick Of a fakir he in
stances in proof of this hypnotic power:
once i'm Calcutta the American mind
reader saw q street fakir gather crowd
about ten-foot pole. one end of which
ne sunk In the street. \ small boy climbed
this pole. and when he got 10 the top he
disappeared.
Before ne vanished. howe = r. the fakir
ordered him 10 come down and when the
lad refused the fakir climbed up the pole
after him, apparently much ansered.. on
reaching the top OF the pole the fa6ir also
disappeared. and after the lapse of a few
moments "a bloody arm was dropped at
Tho foot of the pole. \ second arm came
Next followed 10y "a leg. and finally the
trunk and mead Of the boy was le- fan.
Presently the fakir was seen descending
the POLE and when he reache1 the ground
hc picked up a cloth and waved it over the
muti.atcd remains. IEs-1rtiy the boy
suraug mp. seemingly SQUAD as dollar.
All this. the American ,a.s. was the le-
suit Of hyplotism
The strange part of it, according % his
mind. was that every one who looked on
saw the occurrence as every one else did.
There was no variations in the account.
bar the next time the trick was repeated
"a Kodak was brought into reQuisition.
Snap shots were taken of the pole just as
the boy was seen to reach the top. When
developed the plate showed there was no
boy there. a second snap shot was taken
of the muti'ated remains the people saw
at the foot of the pole. But the negative.
like the first. was barren Of any picture.
showing that the picture the physical eyes
of the crowd saw was merely an image in
the minds of the people. And this image.
the mind-reader says was projected into
the minds of the people by the hypnotist.

How 1t Happened That the Plympton Girls
Cut the Applebys.
ooh. say. Ethel. did you know that the
Plymptons and the Applebys didn't speak
any more?" asked Marie, as the two sat
talking over their afternoon tea.
NO. didn't know responded Ethel.
whats the matter? Do tell M about
It,"
Funniest thing I ever heard Of de-
elared Marie. laughing. ITS such joke
on them all
well. tell me about It, why don't yoI?
demanded Ethel impatiently.
'sWen'' said Marie. the other niSht
Frank and Daisy Appleby were going out
making calls They went over to the SKY
high Apartment Building on the Boule-
ward. YOU know, 10 call on the Jones sn's'
Well. they rang the Jones bell Ions wh,Ie
but no one answered down the speaking
tube. Frank Appleby is a funny thiaa,
Won know. so began TO talk all sorts OF
things up the tube. Say. you red-heads.
why don't you answer this bell faster"
What's that. pickle face? oh, SPEAK up
louder. YOU poor scarce-crow,' and all sorts
of things like that
Daisy was Mortified. Of course. She
thought Frank was talking TO one OF the
Joneses, you know. and she was doing
her best to get him to stop, He got her
dreadfully excited that way, and tfen
told her there was no one at the other
end of the tube and he had only been car
rying on an imaginary conversation.
Daisy was relieved, of course, and thought
it was a grand joke when she knew there
was no one else to hear it.
Not finding the Joneses at home" con-
tinued Marie. Daisy thought they might
as well call on the Plymptons in the
same building and kill two birds with one
stone So Frank rang the down stairs bell
and listened at the tube for an answer
None came for a couple of moments, and
Frank concluded that the Plymptons were
out. too. So he began TO shout 'pie-face
I'D the Plymptons' speaking tube and all
the stuff he had sent up the Jones tube,
and added at the end: Please accept this
as call from Daisy and Frank Apple
by"
Il don't think that was very polite"
volunteered Ethel.
Maybe it wasn't" continued Marie,
"but that wasn't the worst of it. The
Plymptons' maid was out and one of tho
girls answered the bell. She was late in
reaching the tube. but she got there just
in time to hear all the 'pie-faces and red
heads and so on, that Frank Appleby
shouted up. She was in a fit of rage, of
course. when he sent up his compliments
and his sisters Daisy and the Plymptons
met at the club reading the other after
noon and they cut her dead. ! asked the
Plymptons what was the matter, and they
said they didn't care TO know any one who
would go to so much trouble TO insult
people as the Applebys did" -Chicago

WILL, COME HOME TO ROOST.

The Republicans in the State senate
have stultifed themselves in a most
shameless manner in unseating Sen
ator Shaffer for reasons which they
give In palliation of their crime.
Senator Shaffer was placed on the
gold ticket" by petition, and he re-
ceived IS votes on that ticket. His ma
iority over his opponent was GO votes.
The Republicans say there was irregu-
larity in the form of the petition, and
some OF the signers to it were not gold
men. etc. NO evidence was taken,
however, to establish a single one Of
these pretensions).
when the legislature met and count
ed and declared the vote OF the State
for State officers they counted every
one OF these same gold votes for each
one Of the State candidates without
objection. and thereby declared that
they were legal and honest votes. The
Republicans of the State senate de-
clared that these voters and these votes
were legal as to every candidate on the
gold ticket. They objected to mono of
them. After doing this they concluded
that as to the particular case of Senator
Shaffer the signers of the petition were
not legal voters. though they did not
prove it. nor attempt to do so.
This act OF the senate is one OF the
political crimes that will come home
to them 10 notwithstanding Senti-

ONLY CASE IN HISTORY.

The Republicans of the State senate
have unseated Senator Shaffer. Demo-
crat. of the Thirteenth district, and
given his place to Republican.
It was an exercise Of the power Of
might over right, without apology or
excuse for the wrong perpetrated.
Mr.. Shaffer was elected fairly and
honestly, receiving a clear majority of
all the votes cast in his district.
His Republican opponent, at the in
stigation of party leaders, filed no
tice of contest, and that was all that
was done to make case against Shat
fer. No evidence was taken to show
illegal votes, irregularity in the cleo
ton. fraud of any kind or degree, or
aught less to show that there was even
improperly in the affair.
1t is the only case in the history OF
American politics where an elected
person was unseated without a pre-
tense Of a trial. without evidence being
taken. or without even a charge being
made against the contestee.-Parkers-
burg Sentinel.

DR.. PURSER DEAD.
Went to Assist His Congregation in Their
Hour of Need.

The press reports from New Orleans
bring the Intelligence of the death of
Rev. D. l. Purser in that city yester-
day. a victim of yellow fever.
DIR. Purser resigned the passionate of
the First Baptist church in this city sew
eral years ago to accept call from the
Valenes Street Baptist church, the lead
ing congrega ton in that city. He recent
ly resigned his charge in New Orleans to
accept a call from Macon, Ga, and was
in Birmingham a few weeks ago en- route
to his new field of Tabor.
While here the existence of fever was
announced in New Orleans and In a se,s-
mon delivered at the First BAPTIST
church he declared his intention of re-
turning TO his congregation in New Or
leans to assist them in their hour of ed.
Strong pressure was brought to bear
upon DR.. Purser not to expose himself
to the dreaded scoturge by returning to
New Orleans, but he declared it to he his
duty, and returned without delay.
A few days ago he was attacked by the
disease and his faithful wife at once
left for his bedside. All that medical
skill and loving hands could do was
done to restore his health, but the final
sumons came yesterday and the noble
life was waited away.
DIR. Purser, during his residence in this
city, gained the love and esteem of the
entire community, regardless of denomi-
nation. He was largely instrumental i'm
securing Howard college for Feast Lake,
and was untiring in his efforts in BEHALF
of his RELIGION.

MEMPHIS HAS A CASE.
Pronounced the Genuine Artice--Citizens Not
Alarmed Over the Discovery.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 22.-President
Thornton, of the board of health, to-
night officially declared that a case OF
yellow fever exists in Memphis. The
case is that of B. III. McFerrin, report
ed last night as suspicious. He is a
yard conductor, and was taken sick
Sunday. DR.. Thornton had the case
under observation for three days and
tonight he pronounced 1t yellow fever.
There is no excitement among the
people of Memphis, and few, If any,
are leaving the city, the passenger

The leading physicians of Memphis de-
clare that there is no danger of the
plague spreading.
