Speaking of telegraphy, said gen

lawyer, who claimed to be able to pro-

then wired friend in San Francisco,
asking him to think Of card and tele-
graph back what one came into his
mind. The card selected was the five Of
spades and the reply was correct All
the parties were we'll known. and the
experiment caused an immense sensa-
ton.
'sThe newspapers discussed it by the
column, and it was exploited as posi-
tive demonstration of thought transfer
ence, but as a matter of fact the whole
thing was merely clever trick. I had
it afterward explained to me by one of
the people on the inside. It had been
prearranged with the San Francisco
man that the cue to the right card was
to be the wording of the message The
denomination was indicated by the
number of words in the second sentence.

if a deuce it would be Answer immedi-

THISTLE DOWNS.

Lighter and whittier than flying flaks
OF winter SHOWS through wan air winuowfng,
The thistle downs their sudden journeys take
Ger meadows wide in vagrant wandering.
No more shall they to earth reluctant cling
As moss lined and slowly sinking stone
Left lying in an outer waste alone.
Beside the edge of some remote morass,
But high they toss above the fields new nown
Like disembodied spirits of the grass.
The drowsy atmosphere in lines Opaque
Leans to the sun, that fast is gathering
The last faint dews, his fiery thirst to slack,
While swallows dip, on ever restless wing.
Across dusty road the robins sing,
And bumblebees upon the clover drone,
While thistle downs in airy spaces lone
Along the skies in happy freedom pass,
Voyaging afar to mystic chimes unknown,
Like disembodied spirits of the grass.

JONES TALKS ISSUES.
Says Bryan and the Chicago Platform
Will Win Out.

Chicago, Nov. Ex-senator J. K.
ocratic committee, who arrived here
tonight, said he did not know what the
executive committee would do tomor-
row, but it could not call the conven-
ton. This is the first time since the
close of the campaign Of 1896 that Sen
ator Jones has met his colleagues on
the committee, as he was absent until
last July. While the executice COM
mittee may not do anything relating to
issues, candidates or conventions, it is
expected number of prominent dem
ocrats from all parts Of the country
will be here tomorrow to round up"
the situation. According to telegram
received today, w. j. Bryan will not
be present.

Senator Jones shortly after his arriv-

dates and issues for next year. He re-
piled:
There is no doubt that Mr. Bryan

Chicago platform, and I think will de-
clare against imperialism and trusts
and similar combinations. 1t is too

STEAMER DISINFECTED
Every Precaution Taken
Against Spread of the
Plague in New York.

New York, Nov. 19.-The steamer j.
w Taylor, which arrived yesterday
from Santos, Brazil, with the captain
and cook i'll with suspected, bubonic
plague, has been disinfected as far as
possible without discharge of cargo.
The cabins the forecastles, the decks
and the engineers department have
been cleansed and thoroughly disinfect-
ed. The patients are at swinburne ISL
and and there is no change in their
condition.
Deputy Health officer Sanborn spent
several hours at the hospital today.
DR.. Sanborn says the crew will be kept
on board the steamer until tomorrow
when the agents will supply a new
crew. The crew will be removed to
Hoffman island and detained for OBJ
servation for ten days. There has been
no further development among them.
After the removal of the crew the car
go, coffee in sacks, will probably be
discharged into lighters.
The sacks will be emptied into 9TH
er receptacles and then subjected to
steam disinfection on board the James
H. Wordsworth. After the discharge
of the cargo the holds of the steamer
will be. disinfected. Dr. Fitzpatrick,
the meteorological expert, will make
an examination. The result of his ex-
aminations will determine the quality
of the discharge of the cargo.

trolls were advancing across the whole
country from Gourton Road to Ulandi,
moving on Estcourt My force stood to

bodies, from 500 to 700 strong, advancing
on Estcourt from a northwesterly di-
rection. One party 500 strong, moved
toward the railway bridge, half mile
to the northwest of Estcourt.
Our outposts fired on the enemy, and
one of the naval guns fired shell at
5000 yards range, the shell bursting
close to the enemy, who then hurriedly
retired.
At u o'clock reports were received
from the outposts that large numbers of
Beers were in sight on a hill. The
troops nave returned to camp.
A special dispatch from Estcourt, dat

East Mortified, Mass, Nov. 19.-
fered an attack of heart trouble while
engaged in evangelistic work in Kan
sas City, reached his home here at 4
O'Clock this afternoon, and is tonight
resting comfortably. His condition
seems to have improved since he left
Kansas City. Mr. Moody made no stop
at Buffalo, and thus failed to meet his
wife and son, William R. Moody, in
that city.
He came direct to Greenfield over the
Fitchburg road, where he was met by
his younger son, Paul, with a pair of
horses and was at once driven over
the road to East Mortified, IL miles
away. The ride apparently did Mr..
Moody good, and he was greatly
pleased to get home once more. With
him were DR.. Schauffter and c. M.
Vining both of Kansas City.
Mr. Moody was met at his residence
by his daughter, Mrs. A. P. FIT, MIR.
FIT and other relatives, and every
thing had been arranged whereby he
could be given the best possible at
tention and the rest of which he is so
sorely in need.
Shortly after his arrival, Dr. Schauff-
ter issued this bulletin: THE general
condition of Mr.. Moody has much i'm
proved His temperature is nearly nor

Mrs. Moody and son William reached
home tonight. 1t is not expected that
DIR. Schauffter will remain any consid-
cradle length of time, but DR.. N. P.

desires to thank the railroad compan-
les and others, who did all In their

Examination by Microscope Fails to

New York, Nov. 19.-Dr. Hermann
Biggs, bacteriologist of the health de-
partment, gave out the following state
ment today regarding Dr. Parks ex-
animation of the supposed bubonic
plague patients:
The archaeological examinations
thus far made by DR.. Park show APP
parently that the contents of the brok-
en- down bubos do not contain any liv-
ing germs. 1t is possible, however, that
some may develop in the cultures
'Microscopical examinations of the
pus are also rather negative These
negative results are such as might be
expected in the plague at the stage of
the disease presented in these men and
would be very unusual in other condi-
tons.
"They therefore afford some confirma-
tory evidence as to the existence of the
plague"
DR.. Biggs said he had little doubt
that the two patients supposed to have
the disease are now almost we'll The

More Facts About
Mrs. Bamberger's
Murders.
THREW AN INFANT into The FIRE
Bodies of Her Victims Dis
posed OF in Various
Ways.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 19.-Lizzie Rieger
and another witness, in giving testi-
mony before the grand jury for the
Bamberger case yesterday, said they
had seen Mrs. Bamberger murder a
baby in 1893. They declare that Mrs.
Bamberger tossed the infant into tub
of water and then, grasping it by the
neck, choked it and held it under wa
ter several minutes. She then took
the tiny form, wrapped it in newspa-
pers, saturated the papers with kero-
sene and placed the bundle in the fire
in the kitchen range.
LYDIA Bressert, according to the story,
went to Mrs. Bamberger for treatment
in September, 1897. The nurses declare
that the girls ailment did not neces-
state an operation, that she was la
boring under an hallucination. How
ever, an operation was performed. Mrs.
Bamberger locked her in one of the
rooms to smether her cries, that they
might not be heard from the street.
The nurse was at Lyda's side when the
latter died.
The nurse declared that Mrs. BAN
berger tied the girls arms across her
breast with a towel and swore like a

rid of that one" The nurses were sent
away from the house and told to re-
main two days. When they returned
Mrs. Bamberger did not tell them what
had become of the body, except to say
exultantly that it was taken away
Mary Holt Camp of Mexico, Mo-, the
witnesses said, died from an operation
some time early in November 1896. The
nurses declare that the girl asked Mrs.
Bamberger to notify her parents at
Mexico should she die. Mrs. Bamberger
did not do so. She secured a burial
permit giving the name of Molly Jack
son. DR.. Voisin signed the application
for the certificate, which stated that
the cause of death was peritonitis, due
to exposure.
The nurses declare that Mrs. BAN
berger doubled up the corpse, placed
it in a trunk and had it carted away.
They allege it was thrown into the
river. Later the nurses learned what
was done with the body. The informa-
ton came through the publication In
the daily papers about finding the body
of a girl on the bank of the river near
Luxembourg, st. Louis county. The de-
scription tailed with the girl
