as he had returned TO the city

elated Phil as soon as the recipient had
reached his office this morning.
Mr.. Fender complied, turning over
the belongings of his office to the long

of such uniform clothing as his sue

Regardless of Public Welfare.


The act on Mayor McConoc HE s
part is the manifestation of pur-
pose not only to defy the cOun-
ell, but the constitutional authority
of the council, for in order to feed
the hungry of his particular follow
ing he has placed the city without
properly constituted heads to the
most important departments of the
municipal government, among the
others where changes have been
made, and there will be no
legal incumbents in any of these Of
fees until the council has confirmed
them. Until this act is performed
not the one-man power rule of his
honor. nor anything else, will bring
them within the pale of recognition as
a city employe in any sense of the
word The fact that those whom the
mayor has removed today have gone
cheerfully, does not carry with it the out
acknowledgment of the mayors right
to remove them without cause, as
some imagine who have been chuck
ling bout the submissive manner in
which those in Office retired. The
democrats who have been served by
the mayor with notice 10 quit, have
simply acted as law abiding citizens,
but the incident is not closed vet.
The mayor will not be allowed to ap-
propriate unto himself all that be-
longs to the city. He will be given
ample chance to show cause for put
ting out of office men whom he has
preferred no charges against, and
putting in Office men whom the coun-
ell, in the exercise of it's statutory
right has refused to confirm. The
submission of the appointee of the
mayor to the council for sanction
is not an empty formality that is dis
posed of then and there, regardless of
how the council may view it.
The attitude of the new mayor from
the time he was elected has been to
run the whole affair himself. and he
has been disposed to ignore the legis-
lative branch of the city government
entirely. Happily there is means
under the law when the law making
branch of the municipality may act
as check on an overreaching execu-
tive, aud that time is pretty apt TO
come in the particular case now under

A Mutual Confusion of Motives.


IL a poor woman knows that her neighbor

may be. They know she does not need a
new pair o. shoes, and rather suspect that
she has a dozen pairs at home, which in
deed she sometimes has. They imagine un-
told stores which they may call upon, ana
her most generous gift is considered mig
gardly, compared with what she might do.
She ought to get new shoes for the family
all round; she sees well enough that they
need them" 1t is no more than the neigh
Dor herself would do. The charity visitor
has broken through the natural rule OF CIV
ing, which, in q primitive society, is bound-
ed only by the need of the recipient and the
resources OF the giver; and she gets herself
into untold trouble when she IS judged by
the ethics of that primitive society.
The neighborhoOd understands the selfish
rich people who stay in their own part of
the town, where all their associates have
shoes and other things. Such people do not
like the rich landlords of the neighborhood
experience. But this lady visitor, who pre-
tends to be good to the poor, and certainly
does talk as though she were kind-hearted,
what does she come for, if she does not in

TELEPATHY's VICTIM.
HypnOtism Used Successfully as &
Cure by an Eminent Physician.

Prof Munsterberg, in Atlantic Monthly.
There came to me late one night a
stranger, in widest despair, resolved to
commit suicide that night if I could not
help him. He had been physician, but had
given up his practice because his brother,
on the other side of the ocean, hated him
and had him under his teepathic influence,
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 anything for several days, and
the only chance for life he saw was that
new hypnotic influence might oVerpower
the mystical hypnotic forces.
soon found the source of his trouble.
In treating himself for wound he had
misused cocaine in an absurd way, and
the Authorizations of voices were the
chief symptom of his cocainism. These
products of his poisoned brain had some
times reference to his brother in Europe,
and thus the teepathic system grew in
him and permeated his whole life l hyp-
Noticed him, and suggested to him with sue
cess to have sleep and food and 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 symp-
until the end that the telepathic system was
exploded. Even when the voices had gone
he for while felt his movements controlled
over the ocean, and after six weeks, when
l had him quite well again, he laughed over
his telepathic absurdities but assured me
that if these sensations came again lie
should be unable even in full health, to re-
sist the mystical Interpretation, so wildly
had he felt the distant influences.

How dreamily that Bedouin life, with it's
uneventfulness and it's fatalism, fitted the
time and the place! Here was a poor Arab
who did not know how old he was; but he
could look farther into heaven than / could.
His mother had borne him while the cara
van was ON it's way to Mecca He had
worked as a laborer on the SueZ canal, and
he had been dogknacker in Constantinople
before that. He had gone hungry in the
wadies of Idumaea, and had run as d camel
eer barefoot in the burning sands Of Arabia
Petraea. He had Yegetated into manhood
on the lower stratum of this strange ORR
entail existence, content to believe that life
was an unavoidable curse with drowsy in
timatiOn Of eternity in It, always associated
with the tinkling of bells the rattle of cas-
tanets, and the sweet smell of Beirut to-
bacco. But he could see some things that
were beyond my vision, and l wondered if
this true child of the desert, born under the
indigo skies. of a race that had been guided
since the days of Moses and Menephtah by
the pillars Of fire by night, had not pre-
served some powers of vision that were
common to the primeval man. He never lost
the true Oriental disdain for enterprise and
contemporaneous disturbance; and he made
an engineer feel that his work. seen in the
light of the unperturbed stars. was, after all,
an impertinence to a true paTidh.

A Restraining influence.
Boston Transcrlnt.


While I am on this subject / may present
a thought which has often occurred to me.
Ii is that the modern feeling with regard to
suicide - the feeling which restraints most
people who are tempted toward it's vastly
finer and better than any ancient or mid
dle-age thought on the subject l recall no
ancient treatment of the idea in which the
thought of or consideration for other peo-
pie had any part in the motives which
tended to restrain from the commission Of
the act. The case was supposed to lie
wholly between the actor and the gods.
Hamlet is restrained much more by the AL
mghtys canon gainst self-slaughter than
ne Is by any consideration Of the feelings
of his friends. If it is assumed that the
friends Of suicides in ancient times cared
much less about ii than they do now sui
eide being relatively much more honorable.
ii seems TO me that this fact only strength
ems the case. If suicide has become more
dishonorable. il is because sensitiveness has
increased and people are for the first time
aware that the trouble and sorrow of those
left behind is the real and commanding
reason why one should not take ones own
life The Almighty.s canon 'gainst self
slaughter has ceased 10 be powerfully cp-
erative.

that the peso is the silver dollar Of Porto

be no great task for correspondents to state
