President Hyde of Bowdoin. on the
Psychology of Insomnia Editos
Stanwood of the Youths Companion
remarks that President Hyde is on tho
right track and that the underlying
principles is to fix the mind on some
thing other than that which troubles
it-trouble is the usual cause of in
somnia-which something must be Of
casual Importance and yet capable of
appealing to mental curiosity or inter
est enough To divert the mental attcn-
ton. for the time being. For example.
Mr.. Stanwood in such cxigeucics has
experimental with the various powers
of the number ''two'-carryinE TIE
multiplication upward to the eth
power-until the mind passes into tn.
land of nepcnthe from the territory OF
mathematics. He says he has been
surprised at the latent ability never
before suspected. which gives the mind
the change required for sleep. Inhala-
ton and exhalation, or the customary
breathing in sleep, also helps To pro-
duce sleep. The counting scheme"
will do with some. but many require
something appealing more to mental
attention. President Hyde is on the
right track and as insomnia is an in
creasing trouble of our American high
pressure system. 1t is well To bear In
mind that when one has had day of
trouble and perplexity. it is well to
take up n book that appeals to the
mind and Just before retiring get the
minds attention to some thought or
scheme of things abstract rather than
concrete. since the objective life must
rot he carried to the subjective IL we
want to induce sleep.

sumers are compelled to content them
selves with fabrics that are only nomi-
nally of wool or to pay higher prices for
the genuine article. The growers think
they would be benefited by higher du-
ties on the raw materials, while the
manufacturers, who would like a reduc-
tion, are afraid to insist on it for fear of
the consequences. The growers COM
mand so much more political influence
that they have the manufacturers at
their mercy, so far as the law is con-
cerned, though they cannot stop the

TWO SIDES TO THE WOOL QUESTION.

There are two sides to the wool ques-
tion, represented by the growers and the
manufacturers. The former think they
need more protection than that given by
the Dingley bill, and grumble about the
decline that has taken place within
twelve months. The manufacturers
think that the tariff on wool is too
high, but they are largely intimidated
by the threat that free wool means free
woolens-that if the tax on the raw ma
terial be removed or reduced there must
be a corresponding reduction in the
duty on manufactures of wool.
Meantime the present high duty on
raw wool is producing the effect which
has often been pointed out by free trad
ers. The high duties on imported wool
ems exclude them as elements Of competi-
tion except by the payment of greatly
advanced prices. But there is no way
to force people to buy woolen goods if
they are unwilling to pay the price.
Higher prices, other things being equal,
mean reduced consumption. In the case
of woolens, the manufacturers are COM
PEELED to meet the demand for goods at
a moderate price, and they can only do
so by deterioration of the products.
Hence, the increased rise of cotton and
shoddy in the manufacture of so-called
woolens.
1t thus happens that the existing stu
alton is unsatisfactory both to the grow

President McKinley's Assassin Put to
Death at Auburn.

WHAT THE AUTOPSY SHOWS

AUBURN, y. Y, October 29.-At 7:12:30
O'Clock this morning Leon Gzolgosz, mur-
derer Of President William Mckinney paid
the extreme penalty exacted by the law for
his crime. He was shocked to death by
LOO volts of electricity. He went to the
chair in exactly the same manner have
the majority of murderers in this state,
showing no particular sign of fear, but, in
fact. doing what few of them have done
talking to the witnesses while he was be-
ing strapped in the chair.
Il killed the President because he was an
enemy of the good people-of the good
working people. 1 am not sorry for my
crime
These were his words as the guards lluT-
red him into the chair.
A moment later, mumbling through the
half-adjusted face straps, he said:
Il am awfelly sorry 1 could not see my
father

or to keep him from making a demonstra-
ton. AS he stepped over the threshold he
stumbled, but they held him up, ana as
they urged him forward toward the chair
he stumbled again on the little rubber
covered platform upon which the chair
rests His head was erect, and, with his
gray flannel shirt turned back at the neck,
he looked quite boyish. He was intensely
pale and as he tried to throw his head back
and carry himself erect his chin quivered
very perceptibly As he was being seated
he looked about at the assembled witnesses
with quite a steady stare and said:
Defiant to the Last.
81 killed the President because he was an
enemy of the good people-of the working
people" His Voice trembled slightly at
first, but gained strength with each word,
and he spoke perfect English.
Il am not sorry for my crime" he said
loudly, just as the guard pushed his head
back on the rubber headrest and drew the
straps across his forehead and chin. AS the
pressure on the straps tightened and bound
the jaw slightly he mumbled: I'm awfully
sorry l could not see my father"
1t was just exactly I'll o'clock when he
crossed the threshold; but a minute had
elapsed and he had just finished the lass
statement when the strapping was com
pleted and the guards stepped back. Ward
en- Mead raised his hand and at I:123O
Electrician Davis turned the switch that
threw /, 100 volts of electricity into the liv-
ing body.
The rush of the current threw the body
so hard against the straps that they
creaked perceptibly. The hands clinchcd
suddenly and the whole attitude was one
of extreme tenseness. For forty-tive sec
onds the full current was kept on, and then
slowly the electrician threw the switch
back, reducing the current volt by volt
until it was cut off entirely. Then just as
1t had reached that point he threw the lever
back again for two OF three seconds. The
body, which had collapsed as the current
was reduced, stiffened up again against the
straps. When it was turned off again DR..
Macdonald stepped to the chair and put
his hand over the heart. He said he felt
no pulsation, but suggested that the eur
rent be turned on for few seconds again.
