Mr.. Allison from first to last in his
congressional career has Deer specially
occupied with financial questions. He
began his experience in the house as
a member of the appropriations COM
mittee. One Of the fortunate accidents
of that time gave him a seat next to
Mr.. Garfield, who afterward became
chairman of the committee on appro-
priations and president of the United
States. At the time that Mr.. Allison
entered the house Mr.. Blaine was the
conspicuous figure. There was a small
group of republicans who acted as Mr..
Blaine's l%ieutenants, and through their
hands all the favors Of congressional
politics were made to pass. Those who
belonged to that combination had the
best places and were forced forward in
the debates. Through his desk neigh
borship Mr.. Allison became acquainted
with Mr.. Garfield, and by him was TAX

friendly republican coterie that ruled

he was always classed as a Blaine

ponents of Mr.. Blaine. This was no.

pink paper and has screaming head
lines and many editions every after
noon. For some time the paper has
seen fit to criticise the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Com
pany on every occasion, and this fight
is really back of the present trouble of
Editor Torrey.
Last August there was a bad acct
dent near Sharon station, on the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road. One section of a passenger train
crashed into the real of the section pre-
ceding it. Five persons were killed
and eighty-seven injured. The engineer
of the second section, Daniel w. Get
chell, was arrested and indicted for
~manslaughter, it being charged that
he had "feloniously and willfully
killed Franklin M. Waters of Somer-
ville." Waters was one of the passen-
gers. Getchell was discharged by the
railroad, which maintained that the
red danger signals were properly set
on the block in which the first section
was, and that it was Getchell's fail
ure to properly use the brakes which
caused the accident. Getchell admit
ted that the signals were all right, and
declared that he had used all the
brakes, but that they were out of or
der and would not hold the train. Here
was the issue, and the Traveller took
up G~etchell's fight.
On Dec. IA Getchell was put on trial
before Judge Sherman in the Superior
court of Norfolk county, that being the
county in which the accident had
taken place, and the Traveller began
his defense in its news columns. Court
convened in the town of Dedham. In
the introduction to the days story
published in the paper of Dec. IA was
the following:
ga lonely looking figure in that
courtroom was Getchell. The hand OF
every man in the pay of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company seemed to be raised against
him. He felt that all the complex ma
chinery at the command of the power
full corporation, which he had served
faithfully for seventeen years. had
been set in motion to secure his CON
viction. He felt, too, that in their anx-
iety to screen their w shortcomings
and divert public attention his late en-
ployers had made him a s~capegost."
On the following day there appeared
in the Traveller the editorial which os-
tensibly was the basis for the editors
sentence. The next day the jury found
Getchell guilty and sentenced him to
two years at hard labor, and the YER
dict was not commented on by the
Traveller.

JEKYL ISLAND DEER.
Swim Across st. Simon's Sound in searcI
of Food.

Swim Across st, Slmon's Sound in Search
of Food.
1t has always been claimed that the
game on Jekyl island would not leave
the island, but reports from St. ST.
mons come to the effect that numbers
of the deer are swimming across st.
Simon's sound and landing on the
beach near Ocean pier, says the Sa-
vannah (Ga.) News. The result Of
this is that numerous hunters are get
ting shots and enjoying venison in
such quantities as they have never en-
joyed that delicacy before. 1t seems
that the deer on Jekyl have increased
so numerously within the past few
years that they are no longer wholly
wild, but at night come up around the
clubhouse and play around the flowers.
Their depredatiOns on the choice beds
of the millionaires' favorite plants be-
came so troublesome that a strong
wire fence was built and now i~ncloses
some acres Of the ground Immediately
around the clubhouse. This kept the
deer away from the flowers, but ii did
not do anything toward stopping them
from increasing in numbers. When
the storm came it carried way lots of
the vegetation that the deer had been
feeding on, and there was not enough
left to go around. The deer then COM
menced to figure on going off to get
something to eat, and it ended in
their seeking st. Slmon's. 1t Is a good
swim across the sound to st. Simon's
beach, but they made 1t, and now the
hunters string along the coast and
watch for them to come. Sometimes
men are in boats crossing the sound,
and see the deer coming. A chase en-
sues over the water, and frequently
the deer turn back toward the Jekyl
shore and seek refuge in the woods Of
the island. They seem to know that
no one is allowed to place his feet on
Jekyl without permission from the
club, and in this their instinct tells
them that it is better to swim a long
way back and get safe on Jekyl than
it is to swim even a short way to ST.
SimoEB and then run the risk of be-
ing hunted by men on foot and horse
back after they get there. 1t is a
novel state of affairs, but it is safe to
say that one-half of the deer could
leave Jekyl and there would still be
enough left for the millionaire sports
who visit that place to have all they
wanted to shoot at.

hypnotic influence might overpowef
the mystical hypnotic forces. / soon
found the source OF his trouble. In
treating himself for a wound he had
misused cocaine in an absurd way, anc
the hallucinations of voices were the
chief symptoms of his cocainism.
These products of his poisoned brain
had sometimes reference to his brother
in Europe, and thus the telepathic sys-
ten grew in him and permeated his
whole life. l ~hypnotized him, and sug-
gested to him with success to have
sleep and food and a smaller dose Of
cocaine. Then l hypnotized him daily
for six weeks. After ten days he gave
up cocaine entirely, after three weeks
the voices disappeared. and after that
the other symptoms faded away. 1t
was not, however, until the end that
the ~telepathic system was exploded.
Even when the voices had gone, he for
a while felt his movements controlled
over the ocean, and after six weeks,
when I had him quite well again, he
laughed over his telepathic absurdities,
but assured me that if these sensations
came again he should be unable, even
in full health, to resist the mystical
Interpretation, so wildly had he felt

LITTLE IMMIGRANTS SAD LOT.

Little Alice Knearsey's story is a sad
one. She is only 6 years old, and
when she left her native land, Ireland,
two weeks ago, her father, John, a stall
wart young Irishman seemed in the

police force in Dublin and had risen
to be a sergeant. Then he lost his po-

his little Alice, he decided to come to
this country. Two other children were
left with their grandparents. The first
night at sea a shrek went through the
steerage of the Aurania. Ships Of

Knearsey insane, standing over his
