SMALLEST OF AL REPUBLICS.
Tayo;ara Island, Five Niles Ions,
q Government or Sixty People.

Tayo.ara Island, Five Miles Ions,
"a Governmental Sixty People.
Philadelphia Times: AS regards pop
uiation, the smallest republic IN the
world is that of Tavolara, an island
about five miles long, ssithfan average
width of little than half a mile,
situated about a dozen miles to the
northeast of Sardinia. The total pop
ulation of the whole of the republic
does not exceed sixty, but they elect .
president every six years and a Y
ell of six members, all of whom serve
the state without pay. The women OF
the island go to the polls II vote
with the men, and ever since 1t pc
came a republic, in 1886, all pubic
business has been transacted without
turmoil, the elections taking place
without any high party feeling OF
undue excitement.
InlS36 King Charles Albert, OF Sar-
DINA, granted the island of Tayolara
to a family of the name Of Bartoleon,,
but in less than half a century the IN
habitants threw off the yoke of the
monarchy and took to themselves the
right to be governed by themselves.
This little war did not alarm the
world, and was quite II peaceful ne.
King Paul I reigned until 1882, and on
his deathbed requested that none OF
his kin should succeed to, the throne,
and as no one claimed the honor four
years-later the people decided to draw
up a constitution, and Tavolara has
been a successful little republic since.
Twelve years ago its independence
was recognized by Italy, and, it is to
be presumed, other powers would
have recognized it also il they, had
known of its existence. The inhaplt,
ants live principally by fishing anu
raising fruits and vegetables.

Strange Influence of Hired Man

Strange lnllucncc OIL AllFGN HANh
Accounts for Disappearance.
Sioux Falls, S. d., Jan. 10.-The first
case in the history of the state in
which a South Dakota woman was in
duced to desert her husband and elopc
by reason of the hypnotic influence
of her tempter, is reported from the
little town of Irene, situated at the
point where YGsltcn, Clay and Tur-
Ter counties join. About five weeks
ago the wife of Peter Nielsen, a prom
inent and weil-to-do farmer. disap-
p6Ared together with her baby. leav-
dren. Mrs. Nielsen was highly re.
spected by those who knew her. aud
as her home life was known to be
happy. no reason could be assigned for
Der Disappearance. Now, however, the
mystery has been solved by the receipt
by her husband of a letter from her,
written from a town in Kansas, asking
him to send her Il ticket,so herself and
baby ran return home. She explained
her strange conduct by saying that
she was hypnotized by the hired man
in the employ of her husband. bEt
that now the strange influence he eX.
ercised over her had been removed.
The hired man referred to is described
as 4 good representative of the ayr
age stage villain. He is tall and has
piercing black eyes and black hair.
He is said to have formerly travelled
with a party of transformers in
which he exhibited his skill in So
called black art. His present where
ahouts are unknown. Nielsen has
complied with the request of his wife
for n railroad ticketeso her baby and
herself may return to their South
Dakota horae, where a complete recon.
ciliation will be effected.
