happened to be sitting within range
of this "splutterer" were sprayed with
the moisture he Missed through his
closely set teeth.
On one occasion Senators ingalls, and
Spooner happened TO be sitting direct

Van Wyck was sometimes called. be-
cause of his resemblance to that noted
character, during one of his most i'm
passioned deliverances. The Van Wyclk
'splutterer" was working for all ii
was worth, and an atom of the spray
found resting place upon the hand
of the immaculate Ingalls,.
He adjusted his spectacles. carefully
inspected his soiled hand. and DELHI
erately signaled for one of the pages
to come to him. Then in one of his
famous whispers, which penetrated the
entire chamber, he said:
Boy bring an umbrella for Senator
Spooner and rubber overcoat for
me-"
The incident provoked general laugh
ter, but it did not interfere with Van
Wyck's speech. He simply shifted his
position so as to get beyond range of
his always faultlessly dressed and sar-
castle friend.
Several veteran Senators were rem
inicing." and the famous speech of
Senator John ]. Ingalls,, in which he
made violent personal attack upon
Senator Joe Brown of Georgia, and
characterized him as "Uriah Heap"
was recalled. ingalls, power of apply
ing scathtng sarcasm and almost bru-
tai invective was unequalled while he
was a senator. On the occasion referred
to he initiated the favorite gestures of
Senator Brown, when speaking, and
described him as a person who ives
forever washing his hands with in
visible soap in imperceptible water"
Senator Brown, a mild-mannered old
gentleman, with a long white beard,
and a soft voice, incapable of giving
offense to any one undertook to reply
to Ingalls, the following day. Senator
Brown arose to a question of priv
lege and proceeded to read q carefully
prepared reply to his bitter antagonist
from Nebraska. The statements In
tended to stagger, Ingalls, We're based
on "a soft answer turneth away
wrath" policy. The most vigorous ex-
preston in Senator Browns speech
was the word "discourtesy."
Indeed it was so mild that it ap-
peared humorous to those who imagined
that Uncle Joe Brown" would take
the hide off of that animated lightning
rod, as ingalls, was frequently describ-
ed.
There was a dead calm over the Sem
ate chamber when Senator Brown con-
cluded the reading of his speech. Sem
ator Butler, of South Carolina, who was
sitting next to him, in an apparently
serious, but facetious manner, congrat-
ulated him and remarked:
Uncle Joe, that was a powerful
chastisement you gave him."
Uncle Joe" satisfied In his own mind

arraignment of ingalls,, thanked But

Senate Put on Action on 1t Until
Next Session.
Atlanta. Dec. $50 far as this ses-
sion of the Legislature is concerned, the
Australian ballot system bill, by Mr..
Kelly of Glascock, is dead.
The Senate to-day postponed action
on the measure. and made the bill the
special order for the second day of the
next session of the Upper House,
whether ii be in June or October of
1903.
Mr.. Kelly's bill was passed by the
House some days ago, and was report
ed favorably by the Senate General
judiciary Committee. with a number
of amendments.
Although a strong effort was made
to have the Senate reconsider its ac-
ton of the previous day in passing the
bill by Senator Clements to continue the
present convict lease system, the Upper
House. by a vote of 25 to IL, declined
to recede from its action.
One Of the interesting measures in
troduced in the Senate was the resolu-
ton by Senator Park of the Thirty
seventh district, providing for the Gre
alton of commission of eight mem
bers, whose duty 1t will be to secure
facts regarding the text book systems
in cities and counties throughout the
state, and also data concerning uniform
text book laws that may have been
adopted by other states. The commits
sion is to make no recommendation,

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Till
man has returned to Washington for
the winter with his political pitchfork
sharpened and ready for use on some
of the presidential appointments made
in South Carolina. Senator Till
man is complaining of a lameness in
his back and shoulders and confesses
that his shins are parked" in several
places. He thus explained his crippled
condition to some of his senatorial
colleagues yesterday:
while you fellows have been travel
ing in Europe, or rusticating at noun
tain and seaside resorts, l have been
at work on my plantation the greater
part of the vacation period. L have a
well down on my place that is fifty
feet deep. 1t got out of order some
time ago. so 1 called in a well expert
to mend it. Well, the fellow came
around and tinkered with the we'll for
two or three days and had all of the
niggers on the place to help him, but
he couldn't make the we'll produce wa
ter. ] stood their foonshness as long
as l could, and then ordered the well
doctor to come up and let me go down
and see If l couldn't make the pesky
thing work.
80 down went fifty feet Deep
continued Senator Tillman, throwing
his head down on his desk and laugh
ing at the thought of his below-ground
experience. When l got down to
the bottom, l found the running gear
of the Wen battered and covered With
rust. and it seemed almost impossible
to do anything with IL. / struggled
down in that hole trying to accom-
plish what the other fellows had fail
ed to do, but IL was no use. To add
to my discontinue, they continued to
yell down at me to enquire how I was
getting along. That made me all the
more determined to do or die before l
came out of that well. 1 tugged and
pulled until l was all bruised up, but
those fellows kept on calling me in a
tantalizing way until l was desperate
I would have died in that well rather
than give in to those fellows after 1
had made SO much fuss about what
they couldn't do.
II was down there nearly an hour
Finally l was almost exhausted, when
something gave way and / found that
the water would run a little. didn't
lose any time in getting out of that
hole, but l had the satisfaction of
Growing over those fellows for the time
being. The well, / fear, is damaged
beyond redemption, and l am a fit
subject for a surgeons care"
Senator Spooner tells good story in
which the late Senator Ingalls, and
Van Wyck, both of Nebraska, figured.
Van Wyck was making one OF his
characteristic speeches, attacking COR
pcrations, his favorite topic. He had a
peculiar style of delivery. and in en-
thusing over his subject. it was his
/ practice to move restlessly about from
one side of the chamber to the other
while talking. He talked so fast that

caused statewide comment since its
passage by the Senate. is the measure
by Senator f. L. Sweat, who repre-
sents the Fifth district. which makes it

THE, FOUNDER OF MORMONISM A PSycho-
logical Study Of Joseph smith u. by l: ~ oGG
Professor George Trumbun Ladd. l2fno xix
49, Dcdd. Mead Co
Joseph Smith the founder Of Mormonlsn
has been variousiy regarded as a fanatic and
impostor and as a prophet, q vicegerent OF GOD
It has seemed to Mr. Riley that there are in
Smiths individuality perplexing elements that
are not TO be explained by either of these two
extreme views; that there are pathological!
grounds that must be examined. The result OF
his examination Of them is that Smith was an
epileptic the hypothesis which furnishes the
starting point for the consideration Of all his
remarkab bic performances. There is, as PROBES
sor Ladd points out in his rather cautious
predatory remarks, plainly room for justlhaoie
difference of opinion to the relative amounts
IF shrewd insight, self-deception, disease OF
imagination and judgment, and conscious IN
territorial fraud which must be admitted MI
Riley attributes the predominating influence 10
the psychopa thic influences which he has traced
Smith came OF a family that dreamed dreams
saw visions and practised healing by faith
His mother heard supernal voices and had &
miraculous recovery. His father was visited
by a whole panorama Of visions. His Paterl1al
grandfather was physically deformed. and WIN
the twist in his body went c twist IN MS
mind" His maternal grandfather vas an cpl
leptic and a seer Of visions. With this hereoltE
st is not strange that Joseph Smith himself
should have displayed mental qualities far from
normal
Another factor in the study of Smiths case
Is the environment in which he was brought

family removed thither. was almost wilder
ness: but it was region IF numerous religious
sectaries Of fanatical exalJation OF high mental
and emotional tension. Nj Riley studies in
detail the sources from which the BOOK OF
Mormon" was derived: the Bible. various re-
ligious books current at the time. crude ideas

about, and the mass Of undigested general IN

was at least in the beginning, believer IN
his own work; that his condition was semi
hypnotic'' a 'seIf-inddced. trancelike state"
and that unconscious cerebration" played
large part in the evolving Of his story ana
scheme Of the gold plates. He combats the
theory that the book was written by Smiths
one time companion, Sidney Rigdon, and de-
rived from a romance of prehistoric America.
written in 1872 in Ohio. There are studies
of some Of Smiths beliefs and practices, es
peciany as 10 his polygamy. Mr.. Riley's style
and method are not distinguished by clearness
or logical force, and he is handicapped by work
ing at a considerable distance Of time from the
subject of his study. But he has brought TO-
sether much that is interesting, and his main
contention as TO Smiths mental characteristics
is well fortified by his citations.
