DRIVEN MAD BY HYPNOTISM-

Edwin Dever, aged II years, is, it
is believed, hopeless maniac, the
result of hypnotic influence. DR.. G..
ID. Miller, of POttsville, Pa, who is
attending the patient, reports it as an
unique case. The boy was an un-
willing subject, but yielded to the
persuaslons of the hypnotist, a
stranger. Since his mind was shat
tered the boy constantly babbles his
protests against being hypnoti2ed,
and begs piteOusly for the hypnotist
to let him alone. The supposition is
that if the hypnotist can be found
the boys reason may he restored.

ALMOST WEEDS HIS MOTHEk-

John Barton, Il New Yorker, has
been saved from deed that would
have startled the world. Had not
a conversation with his intended
bride happened to intervene the day
before that set for the ceremony
Barton would have been married to
his own mother. Barton's father
died shortly after his birth, and his
mother who was then Mrs. J. L. Bar
ton, married again, Il man named J
&. Adams. She placed her son.
John Barton, in an orphan asylum
near indianapolis. The child grew
up and the mother disappeared with
her second husband. Barton remov-
ed to New York Recently he came
on Il visit to his OLD indianapolis
home. On trip he came to Mobiles
vile, where he had first seen the
light of day, and met the Widow
Adams. The attraction between the
woman and the New Yorker was mu-
tual, and the expected result came
when, after an acquaintance of =
month, he proposed marriage. II
seems that the mother had been in
formed years ago that her son WAS
dead. In Il conversation the bride
let slip the information that she had
given birth to child by Il former
husband, and the groom naturally
asked what had happened to it. Sht,
told him that she had left it when
quite young with an Orphanage near
indianapolis, and Barton, noting the
coincidence, questioned further.

In the heart of the wealthiest CITY
of the world, surrounded by thou
sands who would have been glad to
help her if they had known her sad
plight, Miss Kate y. Hickle, IA young
girl of culture and refinement, who
can speak and write three languages,
has been slowly starving to death
because she was too proud to beg and
too high-minded to resort to other
than legitimate means of making Il
livelihood. From Friday until late
Sunday evening she had nothing to
eat, yet she went to the Church of
the Immaculate Conception, in East
Fourteenth street, New York, and
played the organ for the vesper ser
vices, as she had been accustomed
to do. This is purely voluntary ser
vice on Miss Hickle's part, us she re-
ceives no compensation Until the
services had been finished and she
had reached the veStibule of the
church her nerve force kept her up,
but then her strength gave away and
she fell to the floor in Il faint.

FIERCE ATTACK ON PIE-HABIT-

The supremacy of the American
pie is II thing of the past. Pie OF
every kind-pumpkin, huckleberry
peach, apple, miEce or cherry-has
been relegated to the rear by the re-
suit of Il tremendous debate in the
University of indianapolis. This
mighty Intellectual struggle was
decided in the hall of the Philokur-
ian society before one of the most
distinguished audiences ever gather
ed in the city. The question under
debate was defined in the resolution
that pie is of greater service to
mankind than ice cream The male
debaters took the affirmative, while
the girls defended the contrary po-
sition. The argument was begun by
Robert Matthews, young divinity
student. Miss Edith A abbott, in reply
made use of hard facts to demOlish
Matthews's argument. She read en-
tracts from newspapers showing how
often the consumption of pie was
followed by horrible death. Pie, she
said, was greater curse to mankind
than either alcohol or tobacco. The
judges gave the decision to the
young women.

MAY BAN WEDDING RICE

Officials of the Erie railway sys-

of prohibiting the throwing of rice
on newly welded couples at its sta

been of late several accidents to reO-
pie falling on the rice-strewn plat
form, and the trainmen are complain
ing of the extra work in cleaning the
cars. The officials also think the
rice-throwing regulation would at
tract bashful couples to the road.

LATEST WRINKLE IN HEREsy-

Southern Illinois MethOdists are
much interested in the approaching
trial in Freeburg OF Rev. Columbus
Bradford, until recently, pastor of
Okawaville NJ. f. church, ON charge
of heresy. The trial is set for May
is. The doctrines Bradford has
taught and for which he is to stand
trial, involve Buddhist tenets with
regard to reincarnation, but he re-
jects entirely the idea of the souls
transmigration in the bodies of lower
animals. The minister takes as a
doctrine literal acceptance of the
scriptural phrase, "Ye must be born
again" and believes that the souls
of persons who die are born again in
the natural process of generation in
to new bodies, and in this birth q
new opportunity opens fol the soul.

a 500 tip, paid in a crisp, new

Jersey City a-guessing as to whether
or not it witnessed yesterday q
romantic piece of real life-the elope-
ment and marriage of two very
wealthy young people. Policeman
Hayes was peacefully brooding over
the dirt of Jersey City's streets Just
outside the Pennsylvania ferry house
when, at noon, Il handsome young
fellow with a very pretty and ex-
cited young woman on his arm rush
ed up to him and asked anXiously:
Which way to the justice?" Instant
ly Hayes had the two trotting behind
him up Montgomery street to Justice
John Duffy's office. The formalities
were gone through with hastily.
I'm Frank p. Weaver, Jr.," said
the groom eXcitedly. "I'm "a; l

quick; we're in Il great hurry. This
is my intended wife, Miss Julia d.

hGyoung man ratified on so quick
ly, the bride-elect blushed so prettii
ly, the 800 bill looked so new, that
before he had realized how quickly
the knot could be tied, Justice Duffy
had made them man and wife, pock-
eted the fee and bade them gOdspeed
in less time than it takes to write it
all.
After they had gone the Justice
drew a long breath, fingered the bill
in his pocket, pulled it out, decided
it was good and then unused, softly:
"Well, by gosh that's the quickest
ever. The way that young fellow
did that beat the record. / couldn't
get word in edgeways.. Well, long

Holy SHRoUD STORY EXPLODED

The sensational story that portraits
of the dead body of Christ have been
obtained at Turin, France, by photo
graphing the holy shroud preserved
in the cathedral there has been re-
vived. The famous relic, winch be-
longs to the royal house of Savoy and
is recognized as authentic, shows nu-
merous bloodstains, which are faint
ordinarily, but it is alleged that they
turn vivid scarlet on Holy Friday
Nearly two years ago q Turin pho
tographer asserted that negatives of
the shrOud revealed a perfect resem-
blance to Jesus The plates were en-
amined by church authorities, who
found that they bore evidence of clev-
er retouching. Now the photos are
exhibited and thousands are throng-
ing to see. them. NJ Berthelol says
First, the negatives, it has been
proved, were doctored. Second, after
10 centuries such chemical forces
would have long evaporated.. Third,
it is impossible to wrap a shroud in
such a manner as to obtain the con-
tinuous, perfect imprints in these
pictures"

DESTRUCTION COMPLETE.

Mt. Pelee Belches Flame and Molten
Rock upon City and Surrounding
Countrywide Living Creature
to Tell the Awful Tale.

On Thursday morning the 9Th inst,
the city of st. Pierre, Island OF
Martinique, disappeared within ten
minutes in wlirling fire vomited
from Mont Pelee; thirty thousand
persons were instantly and horribly
killed, and the volcano, whose an
cient crater for more than fifty years
had been occupied by quiet lake in
which picnic parties bathed, sudden
ly discharged torrent of fiery mud,
which rolled towards the sea, engul-
fling everything before it.
The American Consul at Guade-
loupe, Louis H. Ayme, has reached
the desolate spot where st. Pierre
stood, and confirms the awful story
in all it's essential details.
From an interview with Colonel
Ayme, who is trained American
newspaper man, a correspondent of
the Associated Press learned the fol-
lowing facts:
Tuesday morning the inhabitants
of the city awoke to find heavy
clouds shrouding the Mont Pelec
crater. All day Wednesday horrid
eruptiOns had been heard. These
were reech0ed from st. Thomas on
the north to Barbados on the south.
The cannonading ceased on Wednes-
day night, and fine dust that felt
like rain fell on st. Pierre. The in
habitants were alarmed, hut Cover
nor Mouttet, who had arrived at st.
Pierre the evening before, did every
thing possible to allay the panic.
The British steamer RoraIma a
reached st. Pierre on Thursday with
ten passengers, among whom were
Mrs. Stokes and her three children
and Mrs H j. Ince. They were
watching the rain of ashes, when,
with frightful roar and terrific
electric discharges, a cyclone of fire,
mud and steam swept down from the
crater over the town and bay, sweep
ing all before it and destroying the
fleet of vessels at anchor off the
shore. There the accounts of the
catastrophe so far obtainable ceases.
Thirty thousand corpses are strewn
about, buried in the ruins of st.
Pierre or else floating, gnawed by
sharks, in the surrounding seas.
Twenty-eIght charred, half-dead hu-
man beings were brought here. Six
teen of them are are already dead,
and Of the whole number only four
are expected to recover.
The destruction of st. Pierre takes
its place among the worlds greatest
calamities which are due to natural
causes. From the burial of Pompeif
and Herculaneum to the present
time there have been only two SINH
lar events which were attended by

WINDY STORY FROM OHIO

I
John McLauren, of Bucyrus, Ohio,
was the victim of Il peculiar freak of
the elements Saturday night during
the high wind. Sunday morning he
missed the usual Growing of his roos-
ters. Fearless lest some unscrupu-
lous nefghbor had gotten away with
his chickens, he fastened out to find
his fears more than realized, as not
only his chickens were gone, but the
poultry house also. In looking about
for tracks of the thief McLauren
found the poultry house 100 yards
away in cornfield. On exanina-
tion it was plain that the wind had
picked up the henhOuse and blown It
over into the field. The strangesl
part of the matter was that not II
single chicken was missing, each
having held tight to the perch during
their flying trip.
