Chairman Jones' Estimate OF Mark
Smith.

James X. Jones, chairman of the
democratic national committee. has the
, following to say of Mark Smith:
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. d.
FRANK P. TRoTT, Phenix, Arizona:-
My Dear Sir:-Mark Smith was a
valuable delegate to congress; he was
widely acquainted and very influential.
1t would have given great satisfaction
to our friends in the senate to have
had Smith among us.
We have favored the admission of
Arizona because it ought to be ad-
mitted, but it was kept out by eastern
prejudices, fearing tina. two silver men
would come to the senate. | know
that Smiths personal standing and
character among the senators was a
strong help towards statehood for
Arizona.
In my opinion no more efficient or
capable man could be sent from your
territory to congress, and am sure no
man could render more substantial
assistance.
Sincerely hoping that he will be re-
turned, am Very truly yours,
JAMES X. JONES, Chairman.

The Baltimore Sun relatesan inter

Senator Hanna on the national banks
Of Baltimore. According to the story
the amount demanded by the clearing
house association was S0,0005, and after
rather stormy meeting of the asso
citation resolution was passed agree.

the assessments pro rata among tie
banks. When the directors of one #
the banks met to authorize the pay.
ment of its amount one of the board
asked If the money was to be divided
equally between the republican and
democratic parties When answered
that 1t was to go exclusively to the re-
publican committee, and that the ex.
penditure was necessary for the bank
welfare, the director replied that he
did not believe the board had the legal
right to appropriate the money of the
stockholders for political purposes.
His protest, coupled with threat 10
take the matter into court through tie
medium of an injunction, was EN- pbatic
enough to prevent any action on he
part of the bank. According to the
Sun, however, a very large proportion
of the S0,D0,s, has been paid, aud is to

Shipbuilding is becoming one of the
greatest of American industries and
the ships of the future have great pos.
sibllities. An eastern shipbuilding firm

guaranteed to make forty two miles an
hour, and with forced draft will be able
to make fifty miles. This is wonderful
speed. just think of vessel CROSSING

HYPNoTIzED MANS ANTICS.
Subject ImaGInes Himself "a I'ueiIist
ana CauseS Trouble.

RICHMOND. Va, Sept. 1S.-One of the
most remarkable cases Of hypnotism yet
reported is attracting the attention OF med
ical men and scientists here. The victim
too, for a time made things lively for
about twenty persons who were attending
tea in the West End Tuesday evening.
The scene Of the singular actions of the
victim of hypnotism was at the residence
of W. J. Gilman, 922 West Marshall
Street. The subject of the hypnotist was
John Sweeney, the son of d weII-known
liveTyman here. During the evening it was
suggested as an additional means of en-
tertaining the guests that some one be
hypnotized. Sweeney, who is a powerful
young man, offered his services and was
soon under the influence of a young Oper-
ator named Cook.
The company finally suggested that the
spell be broken and the victim released
This was attempted. but in vain. In his
efforts to release his patient the operator
was terribly beaten and several of his
front teeth knocked out. Sweeney mani
tested wonderful feats of strength. At
times half a dozen more men attempted
to seize and bind him, but could not do so
The services OF a policeman were called
upon The officer moved cautiously toward
the young man. When he got within reach
of the latter's fist he received a terrific
blow, which sent him spinning away morr
than twenty feet. Sweeney under the pc
euliar Influences, appeared to imagine him
self a prizefghter, and for a time few
disputed this point with him
A physician was finally summoned ane
after a long struggle the young man was
handcuffed. He was removed to a hospita,
for treatlsant. Sweeney remained in a
stupor until yesterday morning about s
o'clock.
