STRANGE HALLUCINATION
Of a Young Man Sent to the Asy lnm
 Yesterday.

Long Flu, a Chinaman and F. NJ Pierce were before the probate cour yesterday charged with being insane The Chinaman had been there before but so much doubt regarding his men tai condition had been raised that he was discharged. After that a new form of eccentricity presented itself He manifested a disposition to go around town and sleeu with people to whom he had never been introduced. He had away of entering houses when nobody was looking and. getting into bed rooms so that when the occupant of the room, man or woman entered. the bed was already warmed. Long Yu was sent to the asylum.
 Pierce was arrested by the police about week ago. He had been acting mysteriously and talking inconerentIy. He had a mania on the subject of drinking water. Another hallucina tion was that people and places changed between times when he visited them He said that he was at Denver noi long ago where he saw Christ. Then the court knew that he was insane. He even went farther and said that he had also seen Christ at Gila Bend Both these statements had previously been controverted by a no less author ity than Lillian Russell who has never been suspected of insanity. It was her opinion tha there was no Sunday west of Chicago and no God so far west as Denver.
 Pierce said that there could be no doubt about the identity of the Savior; he knew him by the halo. He had even seen him in Phoenix and had loaned him money. MT. Pierce is also an inmate of the territorial hospital for the insane.

 "For long time was troubled with catarrh of the kidneys and tried many remedies, all of which gave nie no relief. Peruna was recommended to me by several friends, and after using few bottles 1 am pleased to say that the long looked for relief was found and I am now enjoying better health than l have for years.

Mrs. Laura |. Barnes, Wash- ingtOn, D. C., Ladies Auxiliary 10 Burnside Post, No. 4, G. A. R., recommends Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

In diseases that come to women only, as rule, the doctor is called in, some times several doctors, but still matters go from bad to worse but l have never known of a case of female weak ness which was not helped when Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was used faithfully. For young women who are subject to headaches, backache, irregular or pain ful periods, and nervous attacks due to the severe strain on the system by some organic trouble, and for women of advanced years in the most trying time of life, it serves to correct every trouble and restore healthy action of all organs of the body.
 Lydia E. Vegetable Compound is a household reliance in my home, and would not be with out it. In all my experience with this medicine, which covers years, l have found nothing to equal it and al- ways recommend t."- MRS. LAURA l.. BARNES, aoT Second St, N. E., Wash ington, D.

THE DIVIDED HOUSE
The Growing Heat of the Shannon
 Wilson Contest.

The Wilson-Shannon fight ilI this
 county is getting hotter and hotter as
 the time for the death grasp draws
 nearer. Everything depends upon this
 county and if either of the candidates
 should show any apathy regarding the result it would be a confession that he had abandoned congressional aspira- tions. The Shannon contest is being conducted the most quietly but none the less effectively. Tn spite of the statistics and log;c with which the Wilson people have armed themselves, i the shannon men claim that their can didate is as sure of the county as if the votes were already counted They are claiming at least two wards of the city, and perhaps three. They claim at least two-thirds of the south side delegation. which with scattering sup port in the northern and western ends of the county will insure his nCmiaa- ton.
 The Wilson folks have conceded nothing yet. but they are viSi3.y agi-
 tated. They are charging that shan ron has been stimulating the monetary circulation of the county, and has es- tabIished an abnormal and unhealthy per capita wealth. They dc not claim i to have seen any Cf the Shannon cash, but they know that several of the more
 prominent Mexican members of the i YCung Mems Democrat tic society have
 recently had d revelation from on high or some other source to the effect that Shanrcn is the more desirable candi- date.
 There is some friction within the ! club, that is, among the American members. though they are almost tc i a man fer Wilson. There is, though some opposition to the prominence that
 is being given to his campaign. Some i time ago. when Colonel Wilson vas ir | the city, he selected a committee of ! the club to canvass the county and 1 find out how the people stood. 4 meet l iaS of the committee was held on We'd ! resday night. at which it Was expected i that the committee would report. Ii
 turned out that there had not been ! much canVassing done. Some of the members of the committee explained 1 that they had ether business on hand i more important to them than the find- i ing out of the attitude of the populace
 toward Colonel Wilson. They wanted l to know if the club was q democratic | organization, or whether it was an as 1 sociatiC1 to further the interests cf N | A. Sanders and Colonel Wilson. They 1 intimated that they had got tired oi i groping around in the shadow of these l two statesmen. They reminded ihe ] club that an entire democratic county l and precinct ticket would be put into ! tkc field and that every member of il would be as much entitled to the sup l pert of the club as either Colonel Will 1 son or MT. Sanders. The meeting al- i together was not distinguished by tha l unanimity of purpose which has made 1 the club so effective in the past. st
 that now there is q prospect that the
 club, either in it's entirety or in frag-
 mcnts. will emerge from the Wilson ] Sanders cbscuration.

NOT A CANDIDATE
Judge Nichols Se's at Rest Gossip
 Regarding His Aspirations.

In conversation yesterday on the political situation in the territory, Judge W. F. Nichols stated to a Re publican representative that he was in no sense a candidate for the republi- can nomination for delegate to con- gress, and must not be considered as a candidate, and that he would take it as favor if the widest possible pup licity could be given to the fact Ever since Governor Murphy suggested early last spring that the territorial auditor would make an ideal candidate for con- gress there has been considerable talk ii favor Of the proposition throughout the territory, and it was suggested yesterday to the judge that The Re publican's advices from numerous To- calities indicated a general feeling Of friendship and preference fer him. and that there seemed to be strong desire. i1 fact. that he should lead the party in the coming campaign.
 Judge Nichols said he was aware of the gossip connecting his name with the nCmina ticn, and had not overlooked the fact that number of his friends had publicly announced themselves for him. but he said he regretted very much that there had been more CT less publicity given the suggestion of his candidacy. He had not felt it proper heretofore. ha explained. to take public notice of the discussion, for he felt that it would be bad taste to rush into print and decline nomination which had not been offered to him. But now, he said, the matter had reached a point where he felt that in justice to himself and to his friends everywhere his posi- tion should b. made known. and he re- , peated that he did not want the nom- ination, did net want the office, did not wish to undergo the burden Of making campaign. and would be grateful to his friends if they would cease dis cussing him as q possible candidate. The judge was not pressed for Q state ment as to whether ne would accept the nominat ticn should it be forced upon him. for it was clear that he wished his statement to be looked upon as taking him out of the field of consideration and it. was obvious. moreover. that a man of his sincerity and native mo1- esty would find it difficult to consider q contingency which he regarded as impossible in view Of his positive re- fusal to be a candidate
 The judge was equally positive in ex- pressing his conviction that with ] good. aggressive candidate this year the republicans are sure to win. The fact that there are no factional differ ences in the party and that republi- Canism is growing steadily with the voters of Arizona, he suggested. should encourage all republicans. and in his opinion the party has only to make . good nomination and the democra ts will jump over the cliff in November.

MORO ANIZING THE DRAMA.

It may be that the English are not aroused to the far-reaching plans ot the Morgan of the stage, CT that they do not see in American control of thr theater9 of the world menace to their prosperity. At all events there is no ailusion to MT. Frohmans latest aE- nouncements in the many dispatches regarding British alarm over American invasions. So far the English have parted with numerous actors, d few good. but more bad and indifferent. without d murmur. To be sure some critic not long ago proclaimed that | playing before American audiences Coarsened the British Thespian. but no
 one took him seriously. Now. however, there is some danger of the transfer of London stars to the western hemis- 1 phere and their replacement by Ameri- can stage people of the type more ad-
 mired by the English "Johnnes'' than ! the American public.
 | The theatrical trust is going to bring 1 to these shores the cream of European
 artists to elevate the public taste-for
 an adequate consideration. A merger
 has been formed between the Grau and 1 Frohman interests" to extend the sphere of action SO as to take in the

 everybody who writcs." as the octopus
 himself declares. Besides exporting
 American actors to England and En-
 glish actors to America, the trust will
 invade Australia with Il company or
 two.
 No doubt the stage suffers from tha
 blight. The syndicate is accused ct
 oXcrtinS a malignant influence. The
 decadence of the drama and stage is ascribed to it. The public must bear
 it's share of the blame. MT. Mansfield
 acknowledges that he gives to the pub- lie one year the cheap stuff it wants

will stand at rates profitable to him self Certainly he must be credited with establishing the mobility of labor in the English speaking theatrical world, and familiarizing the English speaking nations with great actors of all countries. ! is only fair to say that no one has to contribute to the earn in@s Of the theatrical trust who does rot wish to. It looks as if the critics were mere critical of the trust than tn public, which cannot make up its mind whether it suffers or gains by the control Of SO many stars by a com bination which is 90 anxious to show them.

Science. has sent out a notification
that Christian Science healers must
not treat cases OF infectious or eonta-
gious diseases.
The notification was given In the
Christian Science Scetiael, Of Boston.
II is as follows:
Mrs Eddy advises that until pub

The advice has been accepted as an
order BY W. u. McCracken, chairman

and former "nrst readers In the city.
1t is denied that the death Of little
Esther Hunter Quinby, at White

Mrs. Eddy's action. II is admitted,
however, that she took the n0toriety
