Frank Devol and Herbert E. Miller
who were arrested last week for al.
legged burglary and taken to Pleasant
vile, Ohio, says the Beverly Advance,
were given preliminary hearing be-
fore Mayor Schisler of that place.
They waived an examination and were
bound over to court in $500 each. Not
being able to furnish bond, they were
transferred to the county Jail at Lam
caster.
The Pleasantville Enterprise says
they were arrested on the one charge
of burglarizing Henry Brothers store,
but we have it from reliable source
that they were held on the charge of
breaking into the handcar house at
Thurston and the T. & o. c. depot at
Pleasantville The Henry burglary
had nothing to do with their prelim-
ary hearing. That, of course, will
come out in the further consideration
of the case by the Fairfield county
grand jury.

RECOGNIZE FRENCH BULLDOGS.
New York Society of the Upper STRAIT

New York Society of the Upper STRAIT
um Adopts the Ugly Canine.
The French bulldog, after waiting for
years for the social recognition in this
country that it has long enjoyed
abroad, is at last to be taken up by New
York society. The French Bulldog club
held an exhibit at the Waldorf-Astoria
Saturday, which formally introduced
these ugly little CANNES into the most
exclusive society.
Each dog attending was accompanied
by its maid or groom, and no trouble or
expense was spared to provide the dogs
with every luxury. The sun parIor of
the Astoria, where the dogs received,
was elaborately decorated. Only in
vited guests were admitted. There were
in all some 80 exhibits, which was about
the entire population of French bull
dogs at present in this country. Among
the exhibitors were James L. Kerno-
chan, FoXhall Keene. Edward D. Faulk-
rer, Whitney Warren, Alfred Bowde tn,
OF Boston, and the officers of the French
Bulldog club-Walter W. Watrous,
president; G. N. Phelps, vice president;
Richard Howland Hunt, treasurer, and
John X. Buchanan, secretary.

HYPNoTlsM BY MACHINERY.
Electrical Apparatus Tint VIII Even
Control the Insane.


The newest thing in hypnotism is the
hypnotic machine. Its inventor says
that by means of the hypnotic machine
9s per cent. of all persons tested can be
put in the trance state. He is prepared
to do with the hypnotic machine wha.
has been declared mpossible-hypno-
tise the insane.
The instrument is recent invention
of DR.. Carleton Simon, the foremost
lypnotist of New York. DR.. Simon's
hypnotic machine is an electrical ap-
paratus mounted upon a small box
within which there are small batteries.
Al oblong plate made up of small mir
rors of various shapes and set at differ
cnt angles is the distinctive feature of
the invention. The plate is eight inches
In length by two wide, and makes 1000
revolutions in minute.
The effect of watching the revolving
pate is that the sight is first dazz.ed,
then fascinated. In two minutes the
mind is concentrated upon the center
of the revolving plate. In eight to ten
minutes the subject is in the passive
state known as hypnotic sleep, and the
mind is open to the suggestions of the
hypnotist at the machine, and the
muscles are obedient to his voice.

THE RETORT HOSTILE.
Capital Lobbyists Wife worsted in a
Short But Sharp Tilt.


Short But Sharp Tilt.
AT a recent Washington reception
there was a short but sharp inter.
change of courtesies between the
wealthy wife of an ex-congressman and
the wife of far from rich bureau chief
1t was a crowded afternoon affair, and
the eN-congressman's wife was assist
ing the hostess in receiving guests
When the wife of the bureau official
was presented, the hostess said to the
woman of the receiving party: "You
know Mrs. Blank. don't you?" Ser
tainly,' said the ex-congressman's
wife, II would know her anywhere by
that pink dress" The cheeks of the
bureau officials wife was suffused with
a rosy glow, but she turned on her tor
mentor and said: Probably if my hus-
band had been mixed up in as many
questionable transactions as yours,
madam, it would not be necessary for
me to wear my pink reception dress so
often as to cause comment"
Every word rang out clear and sharp
upon the ears of the astonshed guests.
1nasmuch as there had been frequent
criticism of the ex-congressman for his
connection with questionable lobby
transactions, the force of the bureau
officials wife's retort can readily be
imagined.

Novel Suggestion Regarding the Re
strictiOn OF Immigration.
e. b. Dun, the head of the local
weather bureau at New York, has for a
long time been engaged in formulating
some measure that would ameiorate
the condition of Ia aboring classes of the
country. He has sent to the commits
sioner of immigration at Washington,
Terrence V. Powderly, a rough outline
Of a measure that he thinks would re-
lieve the pressure on large centers of
population like New York, Chicago and
other large cities, unless it can be
shown that the immigrant does no:
intend to compete with citizen labor.
Before an immigrant sails from his
native country he must first call on the
American consul and designate the
place for which he is bound, and if he
has no objective point the American
consul, having knowledge of places in
this country where labor is needed, will
inform the prospective immigrant of
them, and If he elects to choose one
passports and tickets through to such
place are to be given him. All immi-
grants who are not furnished with
proper credentials from the American
consul as to destination and other
requisites shall be deported.

POOR OLD JONAH.

Name Is a Byword.


Name Is n Bywora.
1t is strange that i'm these days when
questionable historical characters are
rehabilitated, when King Henry VIII.
is proved to have been Christian gen
tieman and loving husband, when Cati-
line is vouched for as a Roman patriot,
when Nero's worst fault is shown to
have been that he sometimes allowed
his fiddle to get out of tune, when Bene.
dict Arnold takes high place in the
roll of brave heroes, when Lucretia Dor
gia and Delilah are celebrated for their
many virtues, when II is conclusively
proved that there was much to admire
in Judas Iscariot, and when the famous
opinion of Origen, the early church
theologian, that the devil would some
day be converted, is strengthened by
proofs that he has been grossly SLAM
dered; it is strange, we say, that in these
times of charitable historical judgments
the character of the prophet Jonah re-
mains under cloud, as dark as ever.
It is painful to observe, says the Bos-
ton Advertiser, that not only is he with
out defenders, but his reputation suf-
fers from ridicule. So true is this that
his name is used as kind of symbol for
the infliction of bad luck. The name
Jonah is employed as almost equivalent
to the word hoodoo.
Yet he was, from the best account we
have, jealous, conscientious. generous.
enterprising, of excellent judgment, a
great orator, distinguished navigator
and sterling moralst. He scorned de-
ceit. He preferred to risk the peris of
the deep rather than endanger on his
account the lives of his fellow voyagers.
Though brave, he was prudent. He took
no foolhardy risks. But when he de-
livered his celebrated Grafton in Nineveh
the whole city was profoundly stirred.
He was the greatest reformer of his age.

Some thirty Crawford" ladies re-

The house was brilliantly lighted and
gay with flowers, while the quaint
costumes of the guests made a picture
long to be remembered. Progressive

provided and proved unusually excit-
ing, being interrupted only by supper,
the latter perhaps too bountiful for
Cranford's usual standard.
:'Captain Brown" the only gentle
man present, won the admiration of all
by his gallantry.
To use the CIanford phrase. the party
was "genteer" in every respect, and
the souvenir cards with clever draw
ings of the Crawford ladies, will long
serve as reminders of unique and de-
lightful evening. Miss Sibley won the
prize, copy of Crawford.

MONEY SHIPPED BY MAIL.
A State of Affairs That Makes Bills
Scarce just Now in the Northwest.

A State of Affairs That Makes Bills
Scarce just Now In the Northwest.
A curious state of affairs prevails at
present in the banks of the northwest.
Go to bank with check, ask the teller
10 cash it, and he will pay you in gold.
Ask him for bills and he will tell you
that he cannot accommodate you. Cur
rency is so scarce in Minneapolis, ST.
Paul and other northwestern cities
that the banks are compelled 10 pay in
gold. The reason for this state of af-
fairs is that the bills are being shipped
to the east in mail sacks. The cashier
pf a Minneapolis bank gave the follow
Ing explanations:
THE reason why we refuse to pay out
currency is that we are sending remit
tances east through the mails, instead
of by express, as in the past, and, of
course, owing to the expense, we send
nothing but paper money. Just at pres
ent the balance of trade is against us
and the money is flowing out. This
causes the scarcity of currency. and II
is fact that Minneapolis and st. Paul
are practically drained of all bills of
large denominations. In former days
we were accustomed to ship money by
express, and when we did that bullion
was sent.
Some time ago the companies raised
the charges somewhat, and the banks
refused TO accede to the increased rate.
Then the present scheme was devised
The money is sent by registered mail,
and the cost between here and Chicago
is 20 cents per $1,000. By paying an ad-
ditional IL cents upon each thousand
the shipment Is insured by London
iinstitution. The express companies
were charging us 60 cents per thou
sand, but have recently reduced their
charge to 65 cents. OF course, we
should prefer TO ship by the express
companies and are willing to pay them
higher price than the cost by mail,
but not the'present difference.

What "Bachelor" Means,

Few words have more curious
definition than bachelor" Originally
it meant students who had taken their
degree. Successful students were
crowned with laurel berries, the Latin
for which is baccalaureus. These stu
dents were not allowed to marry, for
fear the duties of husband and father
should interfere with their literary
pursuits. So finally "baccaaureate,"
or bachelor" got its present giguid-
cance.

LECTURE ON COOKERY.

1t will be Delivered by Mrs. Ewing in tn
Unitarian Lecture Room Next Tuesda
Afternoon.
Mrs. Emma P. Ewing, the well-knowl
teacher of cookery, is in the city anc
will deliver free lecture on breac
making in the lecture room of the Uni
tartan church, next Tuesday, at two
o'clock.
Mrs. Ewing is thoroughly and practi
cally conversant with her subject ano
has the happy faculty of interesting
and instructirg her hearers. She was
professor of Household Science at Iowa
State Agricultural College for eight
years. She held the same position for
two years at Perdue University, and
has for twelve years been Superinten-
dent of the cooking school of the Chau-
tauqua Assembly.
During the Worlds Fair Mrs. Ewing
gave lessons on bread making daily
for two months, in the woman's build
ing, and lessons on making corn bread
in the Iowa State Building for two
weeks, for which the Iowa State Com
mission awarded her handsome gold
medal.
The average cooking teacher fancies
her mission is to instruct women how
to make fancy dishes that few people
caie to eat and she accordingly devotes
her attention to the accomplishment of
that object But Mrs. Ewing enter
tains different opinion on the matter.
She takes practical view of the sub
ject, and her aim is to instruct her
pupils how to make bread, soups, sal
ads and coffee, how to roast. broil fry
and stew meats, in word how to pre-
pare in the best and simplest manner
such staple articles of food as are in
general every day use. Ladies who
have attended Mrs. Ewing's lectures
say theyare invalua BILE to housekee pers,
as she teaches them not only how to
prepare the food in the daintiest and
most toothsome manner, but also to
eliminate most of the drudgery from
cooking and make it an easy and inter-
esting and pleasing occupation.
The lecture to be given Tuesday will
be interesting and instructive to men
as we'll as to women and is ntroductory
to course OF eight demonstration les
sons to be given under the auspices of
the Womens Centeaniel Association of
this city. Mrs. Ewing is just from
GAINESVILLE where her lessons were
given under the auspices of the Presby-
terian church, and met with most fat
tering success. The lecture on bread.
making is free to everyone. She is an
enthusiast on that article of food and
can show the perfect way to prepare
it.
The course Of eight lessons will be
given in the Relic Room, beginning on
Wednesday, Feb. esd, at 2:SO o'clock
and will be given on each successive
week day until finished. Tickets for
the course are transferable among
members OF family or outsiders.
Price, two dollars for the course. = Sin
gle tickets. IS cents. Subjects of les
sons will be announced in Mondav's
