Emporium 20 the American Derby was de-

this decision necessary. Green r.. Nor

owner at the time Of the entry, but in
tended to buy the colt at the Daily sale.

SLEEP WALKING A DISEASE.
How the Phenomena Are Explained
on Scientific Basis
t'roni the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The feat Of the young Illinois student
who walked twenty miles while asleep Is
certainly remarkable one of its kind.
Usually somnambulists make short trips
and, unlike the subject in question, awake
10 find themselves In curious and ofttimes
alarming positions. The weirdness OF the
exploit and the unnaturalness of its ac-
.complishment give that becoming air OF
mystery which naturally appeals to the
ignorant and the superstitious.
In reality. however, the phenomena are
very satisfactorily explained ON the as.
sumption that certain areas of the brain
are for the time being awake, while the
other portions are asleep.
Thus. the speaking center may be ac-
tive and the dreamer may carry on a
connected conversation with a listener
and be perfectly oblivious TO any other i'm
pressions. Very often, under such cir
cumstances, a secret may be disclosed 10
an alert and inquisitive roommate. Not
infrequentlY, also poems have been thus
composed and mathematical problems
solved when the respective cerebral lobes
involved are on extra sentinel duty.
The same can be said for somnambu-
lism in many Of its forms the muscular
sense pertaining TO walking being in
curious condition of exalted activity.
Strange to say the victims of this dis
tresslng malady have no recollection OF
their adventures. although It Is maintain
ed that they appear to see obstacles and
avoid them and their various movements
indicate intelligence and reason. In many
respects the condition represents some
of the Varieties OF hypnotism, differing
from them -only In the matter OF abso-
lutte auto-susgeston. as against the DOM
ination 6Gsm outside party.
The causes Of the trouble are quite OBJ
scure-lM least. no definite ones are given
ia medical authorities. Ii Is reasonable
TO infer however, that In the aggravated
cases the disorder has a cerebral origin
akin to some OF the varieties of epilepsy
and requires the usual treatment applied
to the latte affection.

Recent Philanthropic Movements"
was the subject of two papers given on
tuesday last by Mrs. GatreIl and Mrs.
Seller. Mrs. Gatreli took for her
theme the Salvation army movement,
saying that among all the plans pro-
posed and efforts put forth for the aid
OF that mass of broke ndOwn and trod-
oendown humanity, the existence of
which is a perpetual reproach to our
civilization, there Is none so full of in
terest and suggestion to the observalit
philanthrOpist as that which is repre-
scented ~ the scoop bonnet ard red
sweater Of the Salvation a .Iy-em-
bracing plans ana possibilities for the
relief Of All the needs of the needy.
The paper was an able review of the
beginning in 1865 and the carrying on
of the work OF the Salvation army by
an English Methodist minister.
In 1873 they adopted military titles.

the first name Of Christian mission"
TO that Of Salvation army" with Rev.
William Booth as head and general.

Ca. landing its first company in Amer

that One-tenth of the population of
England were the needy poor, which
he called the submerged tenth Of

into three circles-the outer circle, in
habited by the starving. homeless, but
honest poor; the second by those who
Ike by vice; the third by those who
live by .-ime-the whole sodden by

damned into It."
The effectiveness of their methods Of
treating the social problem is being rec

It's our admiration and assistance.
Mrs. Schiller's paper related more to
modern philanthropists and began by
saying the old adage, That One-haif

The paper Contrasted the needs Of
country and city communities. The
complaint among the poor seems to be

for their hatred. Such do not know
