CERTIFICATE OF REASONABLE DOUBT
CASE

denied the application made by Abraham Levy for
certificate OF reasonable doubt in the case OF
William A. r. Moore who charged with rob-
bling and assaultlng Martin Mahon. one OF the pro-
prietors Of the New Amsterdam Hotel, at the
Hotel Grenobe. Moore was sentenced to nineteen
years imprisonment by Recorder Con- after trial
before Il jury In General Sessions.
Justice Nash uphods Recorder COTS charge to
the fury and says that the rights OF the defendant
throughout the trial most carefully protected,
and that he is unable to find that there any
error committed upon the trial which warrants the
granting of a certificate of reasonable doubt.

GIRL MARKED BY LIGHTNING.
Her Skin Scared by Bolt at New York
City Which Left Clothing
Untouched.

During violent thunderstorm the
other night lightning struck Sadie
Tunic, Russian girl, 13 years old, while
standing in Canal street, New York city.
The bolt was attracted by the steel rod
of her umbrella. She was taken to
q hospital, where it was found that she
was badly burned about the abdomen,
right leg, both wrists, nose and right
cheek, and that she was suffering from
shock. Radiating downward from the
upper part of the breast were half a
dozen marks scared in the skin, while
around each thigh and extending to
the knee were series of rings. Around
each wrist, not unlike bracelet tat
tooed in the skin, were two rings. Her
clothing was untouched.
For nearly an hour after her admit
tance to the hospital both legs were
pafalyZed, but she recovered the use
of those members. The girl said that
she did not have any pain at any time,
The physicians do not believe she will
recover, and they are greatly surprised
that she was not killed outright.
Canal street was crowded at the time
the bolt descended, and there was much
excitement among the people.

LAND OF OMAR KHAYYAM.
A Country Likely to Come Into Great

Future.

1t Is probable that the American re-
spects Persia for only two things-its
carpets and the Rubaiyat of Omar Khay-
yam. Beyond these two there Is little
known of the country save that it was
once ruled by Darius, Cyrus and Xerxes,
and that Babylon and Ninevah were
once its chief cities. But the British
foreign office and the Russian minister
of foreign affairs know that the land
has been bone Cf contention between
the two countries for upward of hun
dred years, and that the time is rapidly
approaching when it must be divided,
80 that the Persian problem may be re-
moved from the diplomatic arena.
1t is currently reported that the ap-
pointment of Lord Curzon to the vice.
royalty of India was because of his
great familiarity with the Persian ques-
ton. No man in England Is better
fitted to deal with the proposed parti-
ton of the shah's domain than he, for
his long residence at Teheran and his
subsequent studies of the question
have made him absolute master of its

ADOPTS PHONETIC SPELLING.
superintendent Andrews, of the Chi
cago Public Schools, Sends Out
List of Twelve Words.

A reform in spelling has been sug,
gested by Superintendent Andrews to
all principals of the city schools of Chi
cago. Twelve words are included in
the first list sent out, but these will be
followed by many others within short
time. This is in accordance with plans
of the National Educational association,
which purposes to dispense with the
use Of all unnecessary consonants, diph-
thongs and vowels to be found in the
words of the English language diction.

The list is as follows: Program (pro-
gramme), tho (though), thoro (thor.
ough), thorofare (thoroughfare), thru
(through), thruout (throughout), cat
alog (catalogue), prolog (prologue),
decalog (decalogue), demagog (dema.
gogue), pedagog (pedagogue).
Similar bulletins have been issued In
every city OF any size in the country,
and 1t is thought that it will be matter
of but few years before the reformed
method of spelling these words will be
adopted in all the educational centers.

USE OF HYPNoTIsM.
As a Cure for Insanity and Refor-
nation of Criminals.
Chicago Physicians Declare That DR..
Quackenbos, of Columbus UNI
versity, New York, Has Made
No New Discovery.

Hypnotism as a remedy for insan-
ity, the reformation of criminals and
the cure for certain diseases is not
looked upon as new discovery by Chi
cago physicians who were made ac-
quainted the other day with the con-
clusions reached by DR.. John Duncan
Quackenbos, emeritus professor of CO.
lumbia university, New York. The gen.
eral opinion was that DR.. Quackenbos
had accomplished nothing more than
hundreds of other physicians who have
adopted suggestive therapeutics in the
practice of their profession.
"There is certain value in treatment
by suggestion of some functional nerv-
Gus troubles" said DIR. Harold N. Moy-
er, "but such treatment has very little
value in the handling Of mental dis
eases. DIR. Quackenbos advances no new
IDEAS"
II have no doubt that dishonesty and
certain nervous disorders may be cured
by bypnotism," said DR.. e. H. Pratt. II
have used the treatment myself in a
number Of cases with good results. The
profession is beginning to realize more
and more every day that sin and sick
ness are synonymous terms, and that
health is the natural state of man."
"There are some classes of criminals
which may be benefited by hypnotic
treatment" said DR.. Allen T. Haight,
who has employed suggestive thera-
peutics in the treatment of eye, ear and
throat troubles with considerable sue
cess. at can be applied to certain forms
Of hysteria, but I am not prejudiced in
favor of hypnotism in physicians s
practice. DR.. Quackenbos has made no
discovery of special value. He has only
found out that which thousands of
physicians already knew"
"Hypnotism may be of some value
In certain forms Of insanity" said DIR.
T. G. Duncan, "by relieving congestion
Of the brain, but it would be of no avail
In violent cases and should be used
very carefully in every instance. There
is nothing new in the theory advanced
by DR.. Quackenbos that criminals and
persons afflicted by pernicious habits
may be cured by hypnotism."

A CENT FROM EVERYBODY.
Taken Altogether 1t Would Mean @
Heavy Tribute, Unhandy
to Collect.

A tramp who lately sought nights
lodging at Dover, KY, announced that
he was bent on collecting one penny
from every person on earth. He had
already got 3s cents.
This fantastic idea of humorous ad,
venturer is not lacking in suggestive.
ness, though 1t isn't necessarily sug,
gested that anybody should take up hiI
alleged job in dead earnest.
In the first place, when Mr.. Tramp OF
anybody else gets his coin-collecting
task done he will find the need of max,
ing arrangements with the railroad
combine for lot of large-sized freight
cars. He will have something like $500
tons of metal on hand which won't
transport itself.
And If he gets tired of thinking of his
precious one-cent pieces by weight h,
can think of them by miles. Stood up
on edge and stretched away in long
lines, the coin would reach from New
York to Chicago and back to Buffalo
with whole lot to spare. There would
indeed be 1,484 miles of hard cash In the
narrow, continuous rolls.
This, 1t seems, should be lot OF
money. So it is. Yet no Rockefeller
Gould, Astor or Vanderbilt would have
particular cause to envy it's possessor.
The sum represented would be, in
round numbers, about $15,000,000 since
1t would consist of one cent each from
about 1,500,000,000 persons.
AS to the time that it will take to
collect this tribute from the earth a.
large, let no one think it is a job for {
week, a month or day.
II persistent person Is willing te
stay at the task for 60 years, working

"FIGHTING BOB" AND EULATE.
How the Captain of the Iowa Re-
ceiyed the vizcaya's Defeat
ed Commander

In his account of the Iowa's share in
the destruction of the Spanish fleet al
Santiago, Capt. Robley d. Evans thus
describes his reception of Capt. Eulate,
of the Vizcaya:
THE torpedo boat Ericsson and the
auxiliary Hist came along about this
time, and were sent to assist in getting
of the prisoners. Our boats soon be-
gan to arrive, filled with horribly
mangled men. The effect of our shell
fire had been most terrific, as was
shown by the wounds of these unfor.
tunates. Many arms and legs were lit.
orally torn off. The salt water bath
had in many cases saved life by STOP
ping the bleeding. 1t was soon report.
ed to me that the captain of the Viz.
caya was coming alongside. A guard
was paraded, and preparations were
made to receive him with the honors
due his rank. AS the boat approached
the gangway l saw that Capt. Eulate
was wounded, and chair was slune
and lowered for his accommodation. Az
the boat lay at the gangway she pre-.
sented spectacle that could be seen
only in war, and rarely then, imagine
There was foot of water in her bot
tom, and In this rolled two dead men,
terribly torn to pieces by fragments OF
shells; the water was red with theiI
blood. In the stern sheets sat Capt. Eu.
late, supported by one of our naval ca,
diets; and about his feet lay five or six
wounded Spanish sailors. AS the un.
fortunate captain was raised over the
side, and the chair on which he sat
placed on the quarter deck the guard
presented arms, the officer of the deck
saluted, and the Spanish prisoners al.
ready on board stood at attention.
Capt. Eulate slowly Strengthened him.
self up, and with an effort unbuckled
his sword belt, kissed the hilt of his
sword, and with graceful bow pre-
sented it to me. 1 declined the sword,
but accepted the surrender of himself,
officers and crew as prisoners to Ad.
miral Sampson, in command of the
American fleet. The crew of the Iowa,
most of them stripped to the waist,
blackened with powder and covered
with perspiration, crowded over the
after-turrets and superstructure, and,
as 1 declined the sword of the Spanish
captain, broke into ringing cheers.
Taking the captains arm, conducted
him aft on our way to the cabin, where
the medical officers were waiting to
dress his wounds. He was evidently a
man Of great feeling, impulsive, and de-
voted to his profession. That he loved
the ship he had lately commanded, and
felt keenly his defeat, no one who saw
him could doubt. His distress was
most touching. AS we reached the head
of the cabin ladder, he turned toward
his ship, and, stretching up his right
hand, exclaimed: 'Adios, Vizcayal'
AS the words left his lips, the forward
magazine of the Vizcaya exploded with
a tremendous roar, and column Of
smoke went up that was seen is miles
away. The scene was painfully dra-
matte, and must remain In all our
memories as long as we ve."-Century.

less than five years. The statistics show
that in addition to the enormous imnfi-
grafton to New York there were during
the last quarter $4,000 deaths and $4,000
births. The population is being in
creased by more than 1000 week. The
tables show an increase In the number
Of births among the foreign born as
compared with native born population.
Among $4,000 births reported for a
quarter recently only 1900, or 2s per
cent, were OF native-born parents. and

An Expert swordfish. .

Hank Carruthers. of Block Island,
r. l., an old-time fisherman, last year
caught a young sword fish, not more
than two ieet long, which had refused
to leave the dead body Of its mother,
which he had harpooned after an ex-
citing fight. The young fish survived
the transportation to tidal pond be-
hind the Carruthers homestead and the
entrance to the pond was closed with
a net to prevent his escape. Since then
Mr.. Carruthers has tanned the fish so
that It will feed from his hand, and the
neighbors had become so accustomed
to the sight that they did not notice 1t
any more. Last month a French gen.
tleman. who Is a we'll known fencing
teacher, Nj. Tierce. had been train
ing the fish furtively. He had made a
soft pad of leather, which he adjusted
on the tip OF his sword, like the button
on a foil. and the two gave an exhibi-
ton bout of fencing which could not
be equalled for nicely of action and
correctness of dash in the Fencers'
Club. The fish apparently knows all
the rules of the game and carefully re-
trains from committing fouls. He cuts
and slashes swiftly, and several times
he caught M. Tlerce unawares, says the
New York Press, and nearly transfixed
him. The Frenchman has offered Mr..
Carruthers large sum of money for
the fish which he wishes to exhibit.

Hot Baths.

Here is point that English folks
might learn from the Japanese. The
reason we are inclined, in this country,
to catch cold after taking hot bath
in the daytime, is that we do not take
il hot enough. If only you have the
water as near boiling point as possible.
there is no fear of your getting cold
afterward. The Japanese revel In
these hot tubs, says Chambers Jour
nal. They take them three and four
times a day. In some districts of ia
pan. l believe, the people are amphib-
ious; for months ut time they live
practically in the water A Japanese
once called upon me, and he apologized
at the outset of our conversation for
being so unmannerly and dirty, for he
had only had time to take two hot
baths that day.
