CURRENT COMMENT.

Commenting on ticket scalping, the
New York Journal of Commerce says
The sale of tickets does an injustice
to the railroad companies and it is no
natural right of the purchaser of the
ticket. If passenger wishes to be car
ried to Poughkeepsie his business is to
BUY ticket to that place, not to buy
ticket to Albany and sell it at Poueh-
keepsie; it may be the business of the
railroad company to redeem the unex-
pired portion of the contract. but it
either has right to charge more for
tickets from New York to Poughkeep-
sic and from Poughkeepsie to Albany
than for a ticket from New York to
Albany, or ii has not If it has not,
<le fact should be established in the
courts wholly apart from this ques-
ton of scalping. II it has, then it is
defrauded If the passenger buys a
through ticket and sells what he has
not used at his destination"
The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem)
says: Down in Georgia a strong
movement is on foot to make Col. J..

Governor Col. Estill says he is not

The New York Supreme Court has
decided an interesting and somewhat
celebrated hypnotism case. Seven
years ago man named Touhey fell
on a slippery sidewalk in Buffalo. He
claimed to have sustained severe in
juries. and sued the city for $4,000
damages. The injuries were alleged
to be to the ribs and spine, and Tou-
hey wore strong steel corsets to hold
his bones in place. A doctor who ex-
amined him after the filing of the suit
could find nothing the matter. He
hypnotised the patient and told him
there was nothing wrong with him.
whereupon Touhey took off his braces
and walked as well as ever. The doc
tor and several experts in hypnotism
testified that they had found the man
to be very susceptible to hypnotic in
fuence, and that while under that in
fuence he would act upon any sug-
gestion. They had no doubt that he
actually believed himself severely hurt,
and was not responsible for the hallu-
cination. The court decided that there
was no room for action for damages
against the city.

Robert Fitzsinmons is about to make
his bow before a critical public as an
author. Having done we'll in the
squared circle and thereby earned fame
and some money. Robert hopes to add
to his store of each by becoming
writer. He win not deal with love
stories, or problem plots, or historical
novels. but will instruct his readers
how to grow strong and hit hard,
through the medium of his book One
virtue that F'itz always had was know
ing his level and not trying to climb
above it. He has never posed as a
gentleman" or tried to elevate the
stage, or done other of those things
affected by some of his contemporaries
to advertise themselves. He is simply
an athlete and prize fighter. and as
such has gone about his business, max
ing money, saving it and living a sober
life. He ought to be able to give some
valuable information respecting physi-
cal culture
