HYPNOTISM
DR.. John Quackenbos. emeritus pro-
fessor Of Columbia. University, who for
years has studied and practiced hypno-
tisin, and who is recognized authority
on the subject, made some very startling
statements in this connection yesterday.
TT is not at all wonderful that a clair
voyant should tell you what is in your
mind" he said. ANY. decent clairvoyant
can do that. But it IS wonderful, but
true. that an intelligence can be sent far
away. am now preparing a woman to
be a clairvoyant in order that she may
assist physician In Tennessee.
.,Such things as this fact of a young
woman in a hypnotic state telling what
transpires In her home, hundreds of mile
away-seeing and hearing-tends, think,
to prove the Immortality of the soul,
since it is seeing without eyes, hearing
without ears, for the eyes and ears are
here, let us say, yet actions. appearances
and conversations are seen and heard
elsewhere"
And he added:
IT know physician in this city who
has a patient, young woman whom
he hypnotizes. and whose intelligence
the subAmInal self-he then sends to
her home, hundreds Of miles away, thus
learning what happens there, who has
called, what was said She tells him these
things. Their accuracy is positively
verified subsequently by the persons in
that home.'
DR.. Quackenbos believes from his own
experience that many forms of disease,
many tendencies toward evil, such as
drink and cigarette smoking, and even
degenerate traits may be cured by
hypnOtism.

Right is Right.

Positively the JOURNAL cannot recede
from its contention that climb up is
a pleonasm of the deepest dye, no mat
ter how many authorities apologize for
palliate or excuse it.
And on the point of multiplicity of
wrongs cannot make right certainly
four endorsements of wrong cannot do
so.
The Gic0Der should not, therefore, feel
bumptious until it or its sharp leaves it
or his books and take up the JOURNAL 5
challenge last week and
explain how anything or anybody can
be lifted" without being in some sense raised
or helped to higher place, degree or con-
dition.
This is the only infallible test of
the phHoSophy of the matter, but the
Graner lodged it this week. 1t must
not do SO again in its 'more to follow. ="
In short, one may go up without
climbing, but it is not possible to
"climb" without going up"
This must be cOnfuted because the
rhetoric which contravenes the SELF
H*Scrtio" Of any English term is spurious,
no matter whether uttered by one die
tionary or grammar, or by million.
Lastly-"up, i'll the clauses, "climb
up and lift up" is grossly superfuous
because the dircctio" of climbing and
lifting is not only inherent i'll but it

To add the direction, then, to the dircc-

Will Go Through Frost burg.

On Ia wager Of 5000 that, starting
without a penny, they cannot make the
journey awheel within two years and IA
half, Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander f. SpirO,
of New York city, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Claude A. Bigelow, of Flushing, n Y,
started at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning
from City Hall park, New York city, on
Il bicycle tour around the world.
Mrs. Spiro and Mrs. Bigelow are
cousins. They and their husbands are
enthusiastic bicyclistS. Two years ago
the men made Il trip together on their
wheels through Europe at little expense
and in what they considered remarkably
short time.
The two couples Sunday week went
on their wheels to College Point to visit
IL friend named Phillips, Il real estate
dealer. Mr.. Spiro tod of his European
experiences and said he could go around
the world on his wheel starting without
Il cent. Mr.. Phillips said he was willing
to bet 5000 it couldn't be done. The
wager was accepted and conditions were
drawn and signed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bigelow ride tan
dem, while Mr.. and Mrs. Spiro
travel on separate wheels The men
wear tights and the women bloom
crs with skirts, both men and women
having one change of clothing. Each
man carries revolver and also Il
Photographic outfit. BY means of the
latter it is hoped to make money for
part of the expenses.
a complete itinerary has not yet been
mapped out. The immediate destination
of the riders is Chicago, with stops at
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington,
and the JOURNAL is advised to be on the
lookout for them in Frostburg r" ro"tc
to Pittsburg, ria National pike.
1t is expected the riders will be able
to make - miles a day. If 50 they will
be i'll San Francisco within two months.
If, when they reach the Golden Gate,
they have not earned enough money TO
pay their passage across the Pacific, thcy
will have to work their way. They will
write to Mr.. Phillips from every i'm
portant point at which they stop.
From Japan the party will go to
India. They will avoid China because
of the disturbances there.
1t is part of the plan TO publish a
book before going very far, of which the
tourists expect ii liberal sale.
Both women Were eager to make the
trip.
A romantic feature of the enterprise
consists i'll the recent marriage of Mr.. and
Mrs. Spiro-a secret, however. kept until
Monday, when Mr.. Spiro told his mother
he intended to make the journey-with
his wife When and where it occurred
he did not say. The journey will be the
Spires wedding trip.

Did the Rest COuIU

The report to the Business Mems
meeting Friday evening of last week
could have been made more elaborate
had the committee been so inclined.
1t could have stated how through
evil and good support it kept III view
but one purpose; how, batflcd here and
there by one side and discouraged by
Misrepresentation on the other, it held
on until it became manifest that it was
the only mediHm through which those
who wanted conference could reach
the companies
And the committee is proud to know
that this fact was first learned from the
miners
All the committee was charged to do
all that it aimed to do, and all that it
tried to do was to get for the employees
the courtesy of conference with their
employers. Beyond this they never
went and would not go hair breadth.
All besides obtaining the conference
We're matters which did not concern the
committee more than they did other
citizens which, speaking specifically,
concerned none but the employers and
employees themselves.
To those, therefore, who ask-"what
have you done the committee an
swers 1--WE did for you what we know
you We're unable to do for yourselves -
And to those who aver that the COM
mittee retarded rather than promoted
the purpose for which it was constituted
the committee is ready to prorc, if need
be, that 'you do not know what youare
talking about -
1t was an arduous, thankless job-one
in which the JOURNAL although IN
able to doas much as the other members.
will not soon again undertake.

RepOrt and Discharge.

Pursuant to call by the chairman,
number of business men met i'll the
Gladstone annex Friday evening, goth
inst.
The chairman, John Chambers called
the meeting TO order, and d. f. Shatfcr,
in the absence of G. O. Towles, occupied
the SeCretaTy'S chair.
The chairman spoke of the committees
work and the difficulties encountered i'll
obtaining the consent of the presidents
of the companies to meet their EN-
ployees The committee did not at any
time offer to discuss the merits of the
difference between companies and men,
limiting their work entirely to the single
object of bringing about meeting.
This had at length been accomplished
and he now thanked the business men,
both for the honor conferred and the
confidence reposed in the committees
desire to accomplish with the least pos
Sible friction, very delicate task.
Committeeman ID. F. McMullen fol-
lowed i'll similar strain adding that the
committee would feel fully rewarded if
its work, now accomplished, terminated
finally i'll resumption of work and
amicable relations between employers
and employed.
The report was read:
FRosTBU re-, Mp, July ~, 1900.
To tho RnSippSS Mon nf no Tnun of FROST
burg. Md,
GcnteHen-
The undersigned Committee, created by
your appointment at public meeting, held
April g. last, beg leave to report that they
have complied with the terms of the resolu-
tons then adopted and after lengthy and
laborious effort they believe they have sue
ceeded in carrying out your wishes.
Confirming themselves solely to the mission
of securing the consent of the coal mining
companies to meet their employees in friend
ly conference, they never felt it to be right or
proper to discuss with either side any ques-
ton touching the merits of the differences be-
tween the parties at issue. Their sole effort
was directed to bringing employer and EN-
a
matter which concerned them only.
This end having been reached in the meet
ing of several companies with their enl-
ployees and in the promises of others to
crafty their employees by conceding the
same courtesy, we believe there is nothing
further for us to do under the terms of your
commission, and we, therefore, very gladly
ask you to accept this report and discharge
us from further service
