A HOA.XED

Chicago, April 22.-Hypnotic am
billions which had been cherished by
William Webb, a Northwestern univer-
sity student, were sadly shattered yes
terday by practical jokers.
Several days ago Webb announced
that he would give an exhibition Of his
hypnotic powers. The date was yester>
day and at the appointed hour the hall
OF the university where Webb was to
hold forth was crowded to Overlooking.
When Webb advanced onto the rostrum
S. 4. Tyndall volunteered himself AS a
subject and was promptly accepted. The
about the face of the subject and then
he snapped his fingers in Tyndall's face.
The latter did not bulge. Then he told
Tyndall to chase seats. dodge cannon
balls and look at airships, all of which
the subject did with the utmost earnest
ness.
When Webb commanded Tyndall to
awake there was no response. Webb
snapped his fingers, rubbed Tyndall's
forehead and resorted to every conceiv-
able method OF restoring the subject,
but without success. Webb trembled
visibly, while perspiration rolled from
his forehead. Explanations OF anger
burst from the students. Finally Webb
declared that only one measure could
be resorted to and that was to summon
Prot. Coe, his instructor in psychology.
Then go get him." yelled the students.
Webb rushed from the hall to summon
the professor. As soon as he departed
Tyndall sudden came to" and Joined in
the merriment of the jokers. Webb ran
excitedly about Evanston searching for
Prof. COe, but, being unable to find him.
he returned to the hall. Again he
worked on the subject, who by this time
had resumed his trance" Webb went
through every formula known to the art
OF %hypnotism until Tyndall became ex-
hausted from his "sleep" and returned
to consciousness.

A COMBAT,

Headquarters of the Turkish Army,
Milouna Pass. Wednesday, April q, II
a. m.-The combat today was over the
same ground as yesterdays fighting.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press from here can see the movements
Of the enemy on the plain. The whole
OF Thessaly is spread out like a map be-
low. Clouds of dust show every move
ment Of the Greek troops.
Brigadier General Djela Pasha has
just been killed, making two ~brigadiers
of Nechat Pasha's division killed, and
showing the prolonged and desperate
fighting OF this division. which so far
has stood the brunt Of the fray.
The Turkish cavalry cut the Greek tel
egraph line during the fighting yester-
day on the mountain. The commander of
the Albanian regiment had his horses
head carried off by a canon ball, but
himself escaped unframed.
Tyrnavo. at this hour, has not yet
been taken.
The fatigue endured by the troops
during the last few days has been .er-
rible. The whole staff worked 20 hours
at a stretch. The enthusiasm OF the
Turks is tremendous, and the aids de
camp who gallop with Instructions to
the troops, remained with the troops and
took part in the combat.

The first reports from last weeks cleo
tlon in New York indicated that the Dem
ocrats had gained control of the assembly.
1t proves, however, that the Republicans
will control that body by a small majority.
The senate, which holds over, has a Re-
publican plurality of 20. There is no
doubt, from later advices, that Boss Cor
man met his defeat in Maryland, and Re-
publican will succeed him in the United
States Senate. In Ohio the Republicans
undoubtedly have small majority, still
claimed to number five votes, on a Joint
ballot in the legislature This insures a
Republican successor to Mr.. Hanna in the
Senate, and probably this successor will
be Senator Hanna himself, but his enc
mics vengefully threaten his defeat There
is talk of bringing out James r. Garfield,
a son of the murdered president, as a can
didate to defeat Hanna. A disquieting
story is abroad to the effect that Senator
Foraker, having made sure of Republican
success, now considers his duty done and
is inclined to let Mr.. Hanna paddle his
own canoe to victory or defeat.

Boston's Great Fire 20 Years Ago.


Tuesday was the 25th anniversary of
Boston's great fire which swept over an
area of 60 acres and in Is hours destroyed
S62, 900, 600 worth of property. The origin
of the fire has never been certainly known.
although it is supposed to have been in
cendiary, as the building in which it started
was enveloped in flames when reached by
the fire department. A delay in giving a
general alarm was fatal and the reason for
1t has never been explained. Aid was
sent from every neighboring city, but the
course of the fire was only checked by
the use of gunpo wder. The worst featurr
of the disaster was the enormous amount
of valuable property destroyed. The losses.
however, fell mostly upon the rich and the
city's poor we're saved from calamity. The
flames rose to such a height that vessels 90
miles from sh 0re reported having seen the
reflection of the blaze, and the light at
tracted the observation of people living 90
miles from Boston. In spite of the i'm
mense amount of property destroyed, there
was feeling of wonder and gratitude that
the disaster was not much worse. All the
historic relics of which Boston is so
proud were saved and only one church was
destroyed. Comparatively few lives were
lost Nearly all of the burned territory
has been improved and built upon ani now
only few vacant lots remain to remind
one of the great conflagration.

The Permanent Camp Ground.
From the ~ Lohpshur,, Rar,hl;oo,, I

The preparation of the perm anent camp
ground near Fort Ethan Allen is being
pushed as vigorously as possible, and it
is now expected that the next muster of
the state militia will be held there. Gov.
Grout and Quartermaster Gen. Gilmore
are giving good deal of attention to the
matter, and it is purposed to have a camp
ground that will be a credit to the state
and ensure the best possible results by way
of military drill and experience during the
annual six'days' camp life of the regiment
The equipment of the ground will in

a hospital building and other structures
necessary TO the comfort, convenience and
general welfare of the members of the regi-
ment. 1t is purposed to enclose the "a
acres with fence, a move which will
greatly enhance the success of muster

Will tend to shut out the free-and-easy,
unsoldierly features that have been notice
able at some of the musters in previous
years. 1t will enable the officers in COM
mand to regulate camp matters much more
easily and more satisfactorily than can be
done under the old Open-field method,
where everything and everybody have been
allowed to crowd in upon the grounds at
will, sometimes to the serious interruption
of. or interference with the maneuvers of
the militia.

No Comfort for Bryan.

Nebraska reports Republican gains. The
fusion plurality in the neighborhood of
10000 is about half that Gov. Holcomb
received last year, and it is less than that
recorded for Mr.. Bryan. Omaha went Re
publican, city heretofore considered a
stronghold of the silverites. Taken alto
gether, 1t was wise of Mr.. Bryan to re-
Joice early. Save in Kentucky he made no
positive gains, and he probably knows as
well as anybody that if the issue of free
coinage versus sound money were to be
placed before the people of New York
state today they would vote as they voted
in November, 1896.

Foot Ball a Mi.demeanor In G.oro,0

The Georgia legislature passed a law
Tuesday making the playing of foot ball
misdemeanor. The punishment may g
as high as a fine of $1,000, or year in the
penitentiary, or both, in the discretion of
the court. One of the bills introduced the
same day called for the legalzng of prize
fighting. The fatal injury of young Gam
mons of the University of Atlanta in a
game against the University of Virginia
led to the passage of the anti-foot ball law
1t was not foot ball that was on trial be-
fore the legislators as much as the State
university. This body is supported by an
appropriation from the state, to which has
been added the $50, 900 annual interest de-
rived from the land script fund. For four
or five years an agricultural fight, similar
to that waged in South Carolina by Till
man has been brewing The contention of
the farmers has been that the university
was an arstocratic institution for the sons
of gentlemen, and that farmer boys we're
tabooed if they dared to go there They,
therefore, demanded that the land script
fund should be taken and used to establish
purely agricultural college, where only
the sons of actual farmers would be eligi.

MIR. DIngley on the Dingley Tariff.
From the Boston Record


The Home Market club dinner is always
very striking public function, and for
years has been the largest political dinner
in Boston. Wednesday night the attend
ance was larger than at any, except one
dinner, that has ever been given, and the
most gratifying feature of it was the lumi-
nous exposition by Congressman Dingley.
whose mastery of the tariff is admitted
everywhere through the country, and the
revenue that it is bound to produce. He
takes the conditions just as they are,
reckons with the anticipatory duty, and
then guarantees within three years that
the people who have been kicking about
the deficit of revenue since the bill went
into operation will be crying too much
revenue. Said he in his dry, keen way:
"Some idea of the growth of the revenue
as the months roll by and the effect of an
ticipatory importations is slowly overcome,
may be obtained when l mention the fact
that while the revenue from Augustine
first month under the new tariff-was only
$4,000, ,OOO-$7, 900, 900 from imports, yet
in September it rose to S22, 900, ,000-SS,-
100000 from imports, in October to more
than S24, ,OO0, 0,000-over $9,500,000 from
imports, and in the present month OF
November, generally lean revenue month
Judging from the receipts thus far) it
will rise to $26, ,O00-an average in
crease of revenue from all sources of
nearly 100000 per month, and from
duties on imports of 81, 900, 900 per month
with almost no revenue thus far from
sugar, which by and by will yield over 81.
900, 900 per month-an increase which,
before the fiscal year expires, will make the
monthly revenue reach $31, 100000 re-
quired for current expenses, pensions and
interest, and which in the next fiscal year
will create a surplus"

1t seems that most of the Hawaiian
sugar men have deserted Mr.. Spreckels
AMI the sugar trust They propose to sell
their sugar to independent refineries in
California and the East. This would in
dicate that the sugar trust would not con-
troll the Hawaiian sugar output. The
cause of the break is the establishment of
new refineries in the United States which
make better terms with the Hawaiian pro-
ducers. With the growth of the beet
sugar industry and the declaration of in
dependence of the sugar trust by Hawaiian
refners, the great monopoly will have
serious competition.
