STORY OF SENATOR.

WHEN YOUNG.
A Protege OF the Late Senator Nc
D~onald-Once a Cowboy on the West

College.

Senator-elect Beverage of Indiana is
a native of Ohio. He was born Oct.
6, 1862, in Highland county. His father
and all of his brothers were in the
union army, and his mother devoted
all her time during the rebellion to
gathering provisions for the union SOL
dlers. At the close of the war Mr..
Beveridge's father lost all of his prop
erty and became heavily involved in
debt. The family was forced to give
up the farm in Ohio and moved to Hi

age OF II was n Of great privation,
hardship and toll. At II years of age

JEkYL ISLAND DEER,
Swim Across st. Simon's Sound in SearcE
Of Food.

OF Food.
It 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 d~elicacy before. 1t seems
that the deer on Jekyl have increased
so numerously within the past few
years that they are no longer wholly
"lld, put at night come up around the
clubhouse and play around the flowers.
Their depredations on the choice beds
or the ~millionaires' favoritc plants be-
came SO troublesome that a strong
wire fence was built and now incloses
some acres of the ground Immediately
around the clubhouse. This kept the
deer away from the flowers, but it did
not do anything toward stopping them
from increasing in numbers. When
the storm came it carried away lots Of
the vegetation that the deer had been
feeding on, and there was not enough
left to go around. The deer her COM
mended to figure on going off to get
something to eat, and it ended in
their seeking St. Simon's. It is a good
l. swim across the sound to St. Simon's
beach, but they made it, 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 owe 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 II is allowed to place his feet on
Jekyl without permission from the
club, and in this their instinct tells
way back and get safe On Jekyl than
it is to swim even a short way to st.
Slmon's 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.

pink paper and has screaming head
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 nea 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
che1, 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 it's 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:
"a 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 own shortcomings
and divert public attention his late en-
ployers had made him a s%capegoat."
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
Getcheil guilty and sentenced him tc
two years at hard labor, and the yer.
dict was not commented on by tn.
Traveller.

VICTIM OF "TELEPATHY,n
Curious Condition Induced by the Use
of Cocaine.

There came to me late one night a
stranger, in widest despair, resolved
to commit suicide that night if I could
no help him, says Professor Munster
berg in the January Atlantic. He had
been a physician, but had given up his
practice because his brother, on the
other side Of the ocean, hated him and
had him under his telepathic influ-
ence, troubling him from over the sea
with voices which Knocked him and
with impulses to foolish actions. He
had not slept nor had he eaten any
thing for several days, and the only
chance for life he saw was that a new
hypnotic influence might overpower
the mystical hypnotic forces. | soon
found the source of his trouble. In
treating himself for a wound he had
mlsused cocaine in an absurd way. and
the Authorizations 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. | h%ypnotized him, and sug-
gested to him with success to have
sleep and food and a smaller dose of
cocaine. Then | ]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
d while felt his movements controlled
over the ocean, and after six weeks,
when ] had him quite we'll again, he
laughed e his tclepathic absurdities,
but assured me that if these sensations
came again he should be unable, even
in full health, to resist the mystical

POWER OF A JUDGE.
EDITOR is PUT IN JAIL FOR
CONTEMPT.
Boston Newspaper Crlticises a Cour7
and It's Author Is Made to Suffer
Ono of the Dangerous Signs of the
Times.

For contempt of court, a Boston edi-
tor is serving thirty days in Jail in
Dedham, Mass. 1t is the first time the
staid New England city has been face
to face with a question involving, as
1t does, the freedom Of the press, and
there is great interest in the outcome.
The technical offense of Torrey e.
Wardner, who is editor Of the Boston
Traveller, is publishing comments upon
a trial before it's adjudication by the
jury, but the story behind the whole
matter would show that Judge Shcr-
man, who sentenced the editor, is
avenging himself for sharp criticism Of
MS actions on the bench published in
the Traveller. 1t was claimed by the
Traveller that Judge Sherman had
sharply cross-eXamined the defendant
IN a case in which the newspaper had
interested itself as against a railroad
corporation, and that the court had
afterward realized the error Of his
ways and had apologized when taken
to task by the attorney for the de-
ense. The Traveller referred to this
as Judge Sherman's Bad Break" and
this seemed to anger his honor to such
an extent that he sent for Editor Tor
rey, and when the latter declared he
would stand by everything his paper
had said, Judge Sherman sentenced
him to thirty days in Jail for contempt.

ed as Sensational" 1t is published on

bring a curious sense of wonder to a

In such cases is to immense a pair of
the delinquent's stockings in a pot of
water, place the pot upon a hot fire and
keep it boiling for twenty-four hours.
This is supposed to be infallible.. The
belief is that it will break the spell
under which the woman is laboring,

she will gladly return home, but will

husband followed the formula, but the

The Department of Agriculture is do
ing all it can to make the best of a bad
matter-the free seed distribution. In
his annual report the secretary states
that the division of botany has been in
trusted the task Of testing all the seeds
sent out by the department, not only
those of the regular departmental dis
tribution, but those imported through
the recently established section of seed
and plant introduction and those pro-
cured in other ways for the expert
mental work of the various divisions.
Never before has the department dis
tributed seeds of higher purity and
germinative capacity than during the
past year. Furthermore, an elaborate
series Of field tests was made to ascer-
tain whether the seeds were really of
the varieties stipulated in the contract.
It was found that in several cases the
varieties were wholly at variance with
the contract, seeds of cheaper varieties
having been substituted, presumably
by the subcontractors. The fact that
these varieties were not true to name
could not, of course, be ascertained for
several months after the seeds were
distributed. but a portion of the pur-
chase money was withheld, pending the
result OF the field tests, and a common
surate reduction was made in the price
paid for the seed. The principal bene-
ficial result of this action is expected
to lie In Its warning to future con-
tractors that they will be paid for no
inferior seed, whether this inferiorlty
is due to themselves or to their sub
contractors.
