Mr.. Vosburg said that the point could
come up later and be argued at great
er length on a motion for arrest of

the defendants.

ments of counsel to the jury will begin.

PLAINTIFF RECALLED,

MISS Anna DlthlUSOH was fecdlleu
and testified as to a letter received by
her sister from Mrs. Elizabeth Miller,
daughter of Garret Smith. She said
she did not know Mrs. Miller, though
she did know her father. This closed
the testimony and the law points of the
plaintiff and defendants were present
ed to the court. Those of the plaintiff
were:
First-If the jury believe under all the
evidence that the plaintiff was sane on the
25th day OF, February, 1891, and that the de-
PENDANTS with a view of having her taken
to Danville asylum as an insane person,
broke open the door of the room and for
cibly took her from the same to the depot,
and from there, against her Will, by some
of the number she was taken to the said
asylum, then the defendants would be lia-
BILE to pay to the plaintiff damages, the
results of their unlawful acts.
Second-No person Is authorized to seize
and place In an insane asylum any other
person without the proper medical GER
tificate, unless such person is at the time
in danger of INJECTING bodily harm upon
themselves or others by reason OF exist
ing insanity.
Third-The measure Of damages would

HoAR REBUKEs TILLMAM.

Washington, June 15.-"You are the

tor T;uman yesterday In the middle Of

UAgar trust to secure legislation.
This was the one diverting incident to
relieve the monotony into which the dis
cussion of the sugar schedule in the
senate has lapsed.
Mr.. Tillman again referred to pub
lished charges of irregularity in connec-
tion with the sugar schedule, and as
serted that the senate would stand con-
victed before the American people If 1t
failed to investigate the charges.
Mr.. Hoar calmly and impressively re-
PEELED this statement, his tone and
language being calculated as a rebuke.

kut Infamous.
Mr.. Tillman reiterated that senators

Two well dressed persons stepped one
evening lately into the shop of grocer at
Bercy In France.
'Do you sell treacleS" said the first.
"Yes, SIR" said the grocer.
"Give me two pounds of It."
"Have you vessel to put 1t ins"
"No; but put 1t here
"Whatl In your hatp"
"Pour 1t I'M It's for wager"
The grocer took the hat, placed 1t In the
scale and, much amused at the idea, poured
into 1t two pounds weight of treacle.
"There's tho money" said the purchas.
or, and he threw down franc piece.
The grocer began to count the change,
when tho man said:
Pardon me, but your treacle has a
queer SMELL"
cts very good, assure you"
"No; smell It."
The grocer put his head to the hat, and
ut tho same moment the customer, by n
rapid movement, thrust the mans bead
into the hat, and rs the grocer Instructive
ly raised his head. the customer knocked
tho hat over his eyes. The other man then
plunged his hand into tho till and seized a

MOSsO's PLETHYsMOoRAPH



Brain Movements.
Professor Angelo Mosso of the Univer-
sity of Turin has invented a machine, called
"balance," which, worked In oonjum.
tion with his plethysmograph, makes 1t
possible for him to make many wonderful
experiments upon the working of the hu
man brain. Both are based upon the sim.
pie principle that "the more mental effort
the more blood needed In the BRAIN"
Emotions, thoughts and ideas need differ.
ent quantities Of blood, and whatever is
required the brain draws from the body.
The plethysmograph Is long glass tubs
into which the arm is inserted nearly to
the elbow. The tube Is then filled with
water and sealed at the bottom. Commu-
nicating with this tube Is another tube,
the second very slender and standing up
right. It Is open to the air, and the water
In the large tube overhows a little into the
smaller. Under the influence of some
thought or emotion, the blood flows to the
brain, and the vessels In the wrist and
hand contract and the water in the small
tube passes back into the larger, the
amount varying according to tho strength
Of the emotion. The opposite Is the case
when person sleeps.
The balance is an instrument of wood
and metal large enough to hold a man
comfortably stretched out with head slight
ly raised. 1t rests upon fulcrum, and Ia
steadicd by heavy counterpoise of>metal,
firmly held by lateral bars. An arrange
ment Of weights keeps tho normal center
Of gravity In the middle Of the "balance, T"
and the whole is held In exact equilib-
rum. 1t oscillates with the breathing,
but balances SO that the couch is held hOri-
zontal. The slightest variation in brain
effort causes the "couch" to incline one
way or the other. In any intellectual ac-
tivity the legs become lighter and the head
heavier. In sleep it inclines toward the
feet, but the slightest stimulation Of the
brain causes an inclination toward the
head.-Exchange

~ Here

washington, June 16.--President Nc
Kinley Is In favor OF the annexation OF
Hawaii, and the treaty which has been
and Assistant Secretary Of State Day
has been examined by the president and
meets with his approval.
He will send the treaty and message
recommending the annexation to the
senate as soon as the tarin bill is out OF
the way. and he firmly believes that the
80 votes necessary to pass the treaty
through the senate can be secured.
Senator Vest of Missouri. who has al
ways opposed the annexation OF Hawaii.
said within three days that he believed
that II the proposition were now SUBJ
mitted to the senate II would pass.
The negotiations for the treaty have
proceeded with such caution, and the
attention Of members Of Congress and
others interested In these matters has
been 80 taken up with the tariff meas
ure and with the distribution OF Offices
and the securing of appointments. that
1t was not until Sunday that 1t was au-
thositatively known that q treaty Of an
nexation was being prepared. There
was . hint OF II in the Republican SEN
'atorial caucus on Saturday hut nothing
definite was stated, although several OF
the senator's there had information on
the subject.
The treaty will follow closely the lines
of the one negotiated by Secretary Of
State Foster In the closing days of the
Harrison administration. and the prin-
cipal change from that document is
that the present treaty contains no pro-
vision for pension for ex Queen Liliuo-
kaliani. The Republican members Of
the senate committee on foreign affairs
have all been approached regarding this
new treaty, and one or two of the Dem
ocratic members who are known to favor
annexation have also had the matter
broached to them. and 1t can be stated
that eight members OF the committee
have approved the form and terms Of the
treaty. This will result In having a
speedy report on the matter made to
the senate when the presidents mes
sage and the treaty are referred to that
committee.
Some additional details OF the new
treaty have been obtained. The propo-
sltion now is that the United States
shall assume only about one-half of the
debt OF Hawaii. which 10 now about

The remainder will be shouldered by
the territory Of Hawaii, when admitted.

are to become citizens Of the United
States as soon as the islands are an
nexed, and the laws of the United States
prohibiting Chinese immigration and the
law preventing contract laborers from
coming in are to go into effect in Hawaii
the instant she Is annexed.

Journment was reached not very much

over to be considered at another caucus.
as several senators expressed the opfaion
that II II was true that a treaty OF an

absurd to enact legislation looking to
the abrogation Of the treaty Of recipro-

progress Of the annexation treaty did

full Information. Although there was
much reticence observed Ii was believed
the president would be consulted to-
day or tomorrow on the subject Of the
proposed treaty. Three propositions
only were under consideration. These
were: The question of what to do with
the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty; the
advisability Of giving a bounty on beet

Pettigrew's Amendment.

Senator Pettigrew has introduced an
amendment to the Dingley bill which
provides for the admission free of duty
Of articles controlled by trusts. Should
it become law and be carried out hon.
estly, how much revenue would the bill
yield? There are trusts in sugar, coal,
window and plate glass, lumber, pot
terry, wall paper, rubber. cutlery and in
nearly all kinds of hardware. There is
no trust in tea, but that is probably be-
cause there has been no duty to encour.
age it. There are also trusts In the
WOODEN and cotton industries. Revenue
will be scarce If such law should be
enforced. But will those elected BY
trust funds destroy the system which
fosters trustsr They may pass some such
law, as they did the Sherman antitrust
law in 1890, but it will be only anoth-
er dummy.
