A petition has been sent into the de-
partment praying for daily mail be-
tween this point and Parker. The cti-
zens Of these two districts are also de-
sirous OF having a rural delivery, which
would doubtless prove as much of sue

Mr.. Granger proposes to have the

To Wake at a Certain Hour.
rFrom Harper's Magazine. ]

One of the most interesting phases
connected with sleep is that in which
a determination, formed overnight, that
one should wake at certain hour, acts
true to the appointed time. In certain
instances with which I am acquainted
the idea acts perfectly; in others, 1t acts
occasionally: and in other cases, again:
it fails completely. The explanation OIL
this habit depends on what one may
term a dominant idea, or an auee
fixe as the French term it.
There is something akin in this wax
ing notion to the dominant IDEA with
which a hypnotist may impress ms
faciIe subject If we substitute for the
hvpnotist the individual himself, or.
rnavhaD. the idea of the friend who has
been impressing upon him the necessity
for sounding the reveille at given
bo1r in the morning, we can discern the
rationale of the action with falr de-
gree of clearnesS-
The dominant idea in the shape OF the
necessity for awaking at a certain time
is impressed on the brain, and is prob
abIv transmitted to those automatic
or lower centers which rule our me
chanical acts, which are responsible for
the visions of the night, either in the
entire a absence of consciousness or in the
exercise of a Sub-cOnScious condition,
many complex actions Through the
hours of sleep the dominant idea re-
mains impressed on these lower centers-
The head of the business sleeps on
while the night watchman is awake; :;
and so, prompt to the time, or shortly
before or after it, the slum mbering brain
is awakened to the full measure of its
actiVitV.

BEAR AND HYENA BATTLE.
The Latter Was Killed After Desper-
ate Struggle-Wolf Mangled
q Trainer

Paris, May 18.-The great Versailles
fair has been marred by two terrible ac-
cidents, in which one of the menagerie
animals and a tanner named Letort lost
their lives
The first occurred through the care
Iessness of one of the keepers, who left
untastened the door of the cage occu-
'p1ed by fierce polar bear In the
midst of the performance the animal
was seen to pull up the trap with his
paw and stalk out.
Fortunately a high iron grating stood
between him and the alarmed onlook-
ers The bear accordingly turned his
attention to one of his companion in
captivity, and made for a hyena, into
whose cage he effected an entrance. A
ferocious battle ensued in spite of the
efforts of the keepers to separate the
animals.
Coming at length to the conclusion
that it was safest to let we'll enough
alone, the man shut the cage securely
and waited for the result of the encoun-
ter The end soon came The bear
made short work of the hyena and lit
orally tore the beast to pieces.
LetOrt was killed in the cage of a fero-
ciouS wolf which all at once refused
to obey him. The man struck the ami
NAL over the fOrepaw with his whip.
but this only made matters worse
Lashed into fury, the wolf sprang on
the tanner, threw him down and got his
fangs into the mans throat Letort
was found to have been severely man
gled- His death ensued almost imme-
diately.

PLANS OF O. H. P. BELMONT.
To Secure a Party Policy Delegation
From New York.

New York May 1S-Mr o. H. P. Bel
mont, who has been mentioned in con-
nection with the vice presidential nom
ination on the ticket with William ].
Bryan in 1900, has launched a move
ment to send a contesting delegation
from New York to the next Democratic
national convention, in case it shall
appear that the regular delegation is
opposed to party policy as developed at
that time.
A meeting was held on Sunday night
and a committee appointed to arrange
a meeting of Chicago platform Demo-
Gratis to be held later on. 1t is planned
to effect general organization
throughout the state with committees
in every county. The original commit
tee will meet in the office of the Yer
dict, a weekly periodical conducted by
Mr.. Belmont and Alfred Henry Lewis,
tomorrow.
The plan under consideration is to
perfect a skeleton delegation all over.
the state and elect a full set of dele
gates to the next national convention.
These will be men who are in sympathy
with the national Democracy on the is
sues laid down in the Chicago platform
of 1896, although they need not neces-
sarily be committed to the free coinage
of silver and gold at a stated ratio. The
leaders of the movement believe that
such a delega ton will be seated, as for
mer Governor Stone and other Demo-
cratic leaders in the west have stated
that unless the regular New York dele
cation comes prepared to accept the
view of the majority of the delegates
it will not be admitted to the national
convention.
Mr. Belmont and his friends are going
to break into Tammany hall and will
probably take away many members of
that organization who supported the
Democratic ticket in 1896 and who chafe
under the narrow dictatorship of Rich
ard Croker.
1t is not unlikely that John c. Shee-
han will take a hand in the movement
before it is we'll under way, for, al
though Mr.. Sheehan lacked the courage
to contest the Tammany leadership
with Richard Croker when the latter re-
turned from Europe two years ago, he
is now prepared to make a fight, if
there is any chance of winning out.
The new organization, it is said, is
to be called the Bryan and Belmont
Democracy.
The Belmonts have always been
prominent in national politics, and Au
gust Belmont, the father of o. H. P.
Belmont, was for a number of years
treasurer of the national Democratic
committee and one of the most liberal
contributors to the national campaign
fund.

HAS A MUNICIPAL COW.
Plainfield, N. J., Tries a Novel Ex
pertinent in Public Ownership.

New York, May 1S.-The first city IN
New Jersey to make an experiment in
municipal ownership is PlainfeId, and
already the trial has proved such a
success that opposition to it has devel-
Oped.
The city has bought COW, the milk
from which it supplies to the inmates Of
the city industrial home.
1t has been found that the municipal
COW yields enough lacteal fluid every
day for the use of all the inmates of the
institution and leave plenty for cheese
The milkmen have held an indigna-
ton meeting at which numerous argu-
mentS against the town COW were ad-
Vanced. They fear that the city may
buy another COW and go into the butter
business and eventually get a herd of
COWS and supply the citizens with milk
and butter at ruinOus prices.
THE only thing we can do,'' said
one of the mil6men yesterday, who has
nine cows and twelve pumps on his
farm, lis to organize a trust to fight
this outrage. If we don't, pretty soon
the city'n be supplying its own ice and
groceries and things. I move that we
endeavor to ally all honest icemen and
grocerymen in a trust"
hIs suggestion has already been
adopted and the fight is on In the
meantime the municipal COW is flourish
ing, and the citizens of Plainfeld are
sarcastically singing, How'd you like
to be the milkman?'

DRANK HOT WATER.
Crazy Woman .Scalded Internally
Died a Frightful Death.

Hopkinsville, KY, May 18.-Mrs. Belle
Coleman, an inmate of the western in
sane asylum here committed suicide by
drinking hot water. She was found this
morning in a bath room badly
scalded internally that she died today
after great suffering. Mrs. Coleman
was suffering from suicidal mania and
made repeated efforts at self f-destruc-
ton.
Early this morning she went into the
bath room and placed her mouth over
the faucet and turned on the stream
from the boiler in full force.
She was frightfully scalded around
her neck and shoulders, while her
mouth, throat and stomach were almost
cooked.
She died in a few hours. She was 40
years old and lived at Bowling Green.

OPPOSE FAITH HEALERS.
New York Board of Health Pursues
the Christian Scientists.

New York, May 1S.-OficiaI action
was taken yesterday by the board of
health for the suppression of all per-
sons who essay to cure disease and are
not duly licensed practitioners. This ac-
tion is. of course, aimed directly at the
Christian Scientists. President Michael
c. Murphy gave written instructions to
Chief Sanitary Superintendent Charles
F. Roberts bearing on the subject. They
were as follows:
You are hereby requested to direct
the assistant sanitary superintendents
of the various boroughs of this city to
use all means in their power to discover
persons practicing medicine without
diplomas. Recent events have shown
this department that uneducated and
those whom I believe to be evil-minded
persons go from house to house and
take advantage of their more ignorant
neighbors, processing that they are en-
dowed with wonderful healing faculties.
If this system is allowed to proceed
great evil will result.
In your endeavors to suppress the
practice 1 would suggest that you inn
mediately communicate with the medi-
cal societies of the several counties
composing the entire greater city, and
either make an engagement to meet in
consulta don to advise what is the best
method to adopt, or receive their COM
munlcaIlOnS IN writing ana aIterWard
adopt some broad system, that the OBJ
ject in view may be accomplished. 1t
is only by the aid of the medical socie-
ties this department can meet with sue
cess. and to them we must look for
advice and example,
1t is estimated that there are 10000
Christian Scientists in this city There
are six or more of their churches in this
borough, and twice as many in Brook
lyn. AS their methods of healing are
closely connected with their religious
beliefs, it is a nice question as to how
far the board of health may go in pre-
venting them from practicing among
their own parishioners.
The board of health of Mount Vernon
is expected to take similar action at its
meeting today. Coroner Banning has
received several letters commencing his
course in the Barguet case.

CITY WITHOUT OFFICIALS.
It Has Not Even a Constable, and the
Jail Was Sold Years Ago
For Stable.

Kokomo, Ind. May 1S.-The city of
Greentown, this county, is perhaps the
least governed city of its size in Amer
lea.
Although it has $500 inhabitants,
largely made up of glass blowers and
other factory hands, the town has no
mayor, marshal, policeman-not even a
constable.
The town is governed by a board of
trustees, who meet once a month to al
low electric light, water. gas and other
claims. A justice of the peace residing
in the suburbs resigned few weeks ago
and moved to this city, having no Off
cial business.
A marshal was elected a year ago,
but resigned because there was nothing
for him to do. Another was elected this
spring, but he refused to qualify.
The Jail was sold years ago for a
stable.
