Concerning the Sages, who will be at
the Lyceum the last three days of this
week. the Pittsburg Dispatch says: The
performances given by the Sages diff
fers from any given by any other hyp-
notist, as the practical tests are amusing
as we'll as interesting and instructive
Before beginning his funny acts last
night Professor Sage made as short but
clear explanation of the power he claim
ed to be able to exert over susceptible
subjects. Then he called for volunteers,
and a number of the residents of the
East End went on the stage. a ajority,
but not all, of the subjects were infu-
enced, and without the aid of a hired
subject Professor Sage and Olga Helen
went on with the show, which kept the
observers in an uproar for more than
two hours.

The seat of him who is not sure
which side to take in a political fight
is very uncomfortable, and the posi-
ton is not dignified one. Senators
Perkins is in the unpleasant predica-
ment. He was against annexation and
he wrote against anne nation, and then
he moved over to the other side and
was for annexation. because, as he
said, the people. of alfornia wanted
it. Now he is making another flop. He
was certain of annexation few
weeks ago. He has begun to calculate
again and he is not SO sure. 1t is "A

Our attention is naturally
drawn to the next holiday
event, which will be the races
on march 18th, and horsemen
and others are brushing up
their harness and getting ev-
erything in order to make a
good appearance on that day.
Hadn't you better lay aside
that old Harness and let us
fit you out with a bran new
set. We can give you some
something good and reason
able in price both in black and
in russell. We also carry a
large stock of Express Har-
ness--strong end durable.
Come to think of it, we can
fit you up with a "Racine," or
the celebrated Whitman Rid
ing Bit, while being easy to

ranged that a horse with a
strong mouth is under full
control.
To complete your outfit get
one of our Linen or Monte
Lap Robes. Your choice from

We have imported some
Metal Feed Boxes because we
knew they would sell on sight.
They can easily be attached to
the manger or to a post, and
will pay for themselves in a
very short time, as the horse
cannot waste his feed and it
prevents soldering.
Your outfit is not complete
without a Whip, and we have
some good ones. Also Sponges,
Curry Combs, Ivory Rings,
and every article necessary to
complete a well equipped

people will get on at one side of a

1t is well that Marion Crawford is
not an American Consul. In his book,
Coreleon, he exposes the brigandage
of Sicily. His account of this is very
powerful, and shows as intimate a
knowledge of the subject as the au-
thor of the Forgotten Isles" had. A
recent American Consul at Palermo
gave information upon the state of
things in Sicily, and even in the town
of Palermo itself, and warned his own
countrymen from going to the town.
The report got into the newspapers,
and the result was that the Italian
government demanded the Consul's re-
call. From which it would appear
that it is not always wise to tell UNI
pleasant truths. But what is the Ital-
ian government going to do in Craw-
ford's case? His Coreleone is an in
dictment of Sicilian brigandage. But
writer like Crawford is more power
full than a Consul, and then Crawford
lives in New York. -

SOME CRIMES OF 1897.

The year 1897 produced in the Unit
ed States series of very revolving
crimes. 1t certainly seemed strik-
ing crime when Luetgert of Chicago
was accused of killing his wife and
disposing of her body by boiling it in
caustic potash in a sausage vat. But
the alleged crime of Luetgert, for the
jury disagreed in his case, pales be-
fore the crime of Mrs. Mack and Mar
tin Thorn. Lucrezia Borgia pales be-
fore the female monster. and had her
crime not been accidentally discover
ed, she would have gone into the muir
der business Wholesale, for she intend
ed to start baby farm and make
money by doing away with the in
fants. The manner in which Mrs.
Nack's case was discovered was very
curious. She had taken small house
mitting the murder. She did not know
that country houses have the waste
pipe of the bath running into the
open. In towns they run into the sew
ers. She cut up the body of her vic
tim in the bath, and allowed the blood
to run through the waste pipe. This
emptied into a ditch Some ducks
came along and dabbled in it. Return
ing to the farm yard their feet were
red. The farmer went to see what
had made their feet red, found the
pool of blood, investigation followed,
and conviction is the result. Hardly
had those who sup on horrors gotten
over Mrs. Nack's case, that Zanoli the
multi-wife murderer's crimes come to
light, and as the year closed, there
came the horrible murder of Doggett,
"A New York baker, who was thrown
into vat and killed with revolving
knives.
This is horrible list, and to these
must be added the almost countless
homicides which have occurred. But
these crimes specially stand out on
ingenuity, and on account of the utter
callOusness of those who committed
them. The only criminals of the past
that they can be compared with are
Burke and Hare, who murdered for
the sake of supplying surgeons with
anatomical specimens, the Mannings,
Mr..
Winsor, the latter of whom, Mrs. Mack,
above alluded to, wished to emulate.
But it is marvellous that with the
close of the nineteenth century such
things should occur, and shows how
the lower nature is in many cases but
thinly coated with civilization when
such crimes are possible, and the per-
petrators calmly go about their bust
ness, with no shadow of overhanging
doom appearing on their faces. There
is saying that murder will out. but
those who have studied crime say that
probably not fifty per cent of the
murders that are committed, are ever
discovered 1t is the bunglers who
are found out Take Mrs. Nack's case;
she left the waste pipe detail to
chance, and that was the, one chance
that brought her crime to light. Had
she been more careful she would have
taken house where there was no
such chance.
Another thing to notice in these
crimes is that they were committed
not by Americans, but by low class
Europeans of the first generation of
emigrants.
Hawaii during 1897 had an unprece-
dented number of crimes of violence,
but no crime committed here comes
near in atrocity and refinement of bru
tally to the crimes which occurred in
the United States.
