The recent remarkable case of Hen
ry C. krause, who strangled his moth
err, has served to recall other instances
on record in the history of medical
Jurisprudence where crimes have been
connected with dreams and hallucina-
tiOns.
One of the oldest cases of the kind
is that Of the English gamekeeper who
was killed by his son. Both were
guarding from poachers the preserves
On which they were employed, when
the son, wearied with the long vigil,
fell asleep. Upon being suddenly
awakened he seized his fowling piece
and slew his father, evidently, in his
half-awake condition, acting under the
delusion that he was attacking
poacher. He was tried and convicted,
but later was pardoned on the ground
that because he did not know what he
was doing, there was no criminal in
tent to the action.
Marc, the noted English alienist,
tells Of the famous case of a peddler
who fell asleep on the highway; hay
ing by his side sword cane which he
carried as a protection against rob-
bers. A traveller in passing stopped to
arouse him, thinking he might be

SACRILEGIOUS CANT.
President Baer Thinks That the Trusts q
DIVINE

President Baer Thinks That the Trusts art
Divine.
In an interview few days ago, al
Wilkesbarre, President Baer, OF the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
gave utterance to the following re.
markable opinion:
"The rights and interests of the
laboring man will be protected and
cared for, not by the labor agitators,
but by the Christian men to whom
God in His Infinite wisdom has given
the control Of the property interests Of
the country"
This shows the inordinate selfish.
ness Of humanity. Notwithstanding
the fearful example right before his
eyes, the suffering and want imposed
by a refusal of the coal operators to
stand by their solemn agreement for
arbitration by a court of their own
choice, this colossal bigot processes to
believe that ownership Of property i'm

special mission from the Almighty
to care for the poor. Lazarus feeds
upon the crumbs that fall from Dives

that the crumbs are OF sufficient quan.

ger.
1t happened in this way: W. F.
Clark, q photographer Of that coal
town, recently addressed . letter to
President Baer. appealing to him as q
Christian to settle the miners strike.
The writer said that if Christ were
taken into our business affairs there
would be less trouble in the world,
and that If Mr.. Baer granted the
strikers slight concession they would
gladly return to work and the Presi-
dent OF the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad Company would have the
blessing OF God and the respect of the
nation.
President Baer replied as follows:
II see you are evidently biased in
your religious views in favor OF the
right Of the workingman to control Q
business in which he has no other
interest than to secure fair wages
for tho work he does. l beg OF you
not to be discouraged. The rights
and interests Of the laboring man will
be protected and cared for, not by the
labor agitators, but by the Christian
men to whom God in His infinite
wisdom has given the control OF the
property interests of the country.
Pray earnestly that the right may
triumph, always remembering that
the Lord God omnipotent still reigns
and that His reign is one Of law and
order, and not Of violence and crime"

FUEL OUT OF DIRT.
BALTIMORE CHEMIST SAYS COAL
WILL BE OUT OF DATE.

Company Organized to Put New Product on
the Market Which. II is Declared. Will Be
Cheap. SmokeIess. Non-Explosive. and Not
Affected by Dampness Said to Contain No
Fatty or Resinous Substance in Its Manu-
facture.
Chicago Tribune,
A company is TO be organized in
Baltimore to manufacture fuel which,
it is asserted, will enable the people OF
this and other cities to defy the coal
operators and the strikers.
DIR. Jacob Mellinger, chemist, is
the discoverer. The basis of the fuel
can be ordinary street dirt. While
DIR. Mellfnger will not make public his
process of treatment, he said to-day:
"May be matter OF any kind, the use
of which is carriable vehicle only, the
chemical compounds being virtually
the heat producing factors. A chemi.
cal test shows that the fuel has 7 per
cent OF moisture, 50 per cent OF organic
and combustible matter, and IL per
cent. of inert matter, or non.combusti.
BILE residue.
"While it is true that fuel contains
7 per cent. of moisture and the best OF
hard coal Microscopic water to the
amount of ! per cent. it should be
understood that in the evaporation OF
the moisture in this fuel the action oil
the chemical compound on the mois.
ture is such that it evaporates it with.
out diminishing the heat, while, on
the other hand, even the best hard
coal absorbs from the heat just as
much percentage as the contents OF
moisture in the coal.
"It is TO be considered that in fuel
the quantity of ashes is not influenc-
ing in any way the capacity of the
heating power, as the chemicals them
selves are the heat producers.
"The high temperature 90 neces-
sary to attain any given degree of heat
requires a draft or current in similar
ratio to bring about combustion.
Necessarily the loss through is great,
while with this new fuel such is not
the case. Once combustion has taken
place, the heat and energy need not
60, as so much waste, up through
fiues and chimneys. Highly satisfac-
tory experiments have been made
with the new compound as an illumi.
nant.
"This fuel gives off no smoke, is not
affected by damp storage, and during
Its use the doors of furnaces and
stoves may be closed or open as de.
sired. The residuum Of the fuel may
be utilized almost endlessly in its re-
peated manufacture, which process 10
simple, and for that reason the cost oi
production would be low.
"It is not injurious to health and
no asphyxiation can result from ita
use. It is nonexplosive and nonspon-
taneous, is not affected by damp stor-
age, and it contains no fatty or resin.
Gus substances"

MAN WITH A $1,000 BILL.
ne Secures Smaller Money by an Ingenious
Scheme.

Of man with 81 900 bill in his
pocket and no smaller amount of
money story has been written that
traced him through many exciting ex-
periences and took him to the verge of
starvation. But, as matter Of fact,
one man who had nothing smaller
than q 81 900 bill got through his diff
ficulty very easily in this city few
sights ago. .-- ---.
Ten OF these coveted promissory
notes Of the United States had been
paid to him in the afternoon. In the
pursuit Of business and q modicum
OF pleasure he had, after the receipt Of
his $4,000, spent the last dime he
possessed other than the big bills. He
was with some friends, any OF whom
could and would have accommodated
him with sufficient money for his
needs, but q discussion arose about
what he would do if he we're a stranger
in the city and had no money other
than that which was in his pocket.
81 wouldn't care if l we're dressed
as beggar," he said. al can get all
l want so long as have a 81 900 bill
in my pocket"
"You would be arrested or turned
down if you tried to use it," said one.
"There are not many places where
$1,000 in change is kept handy. Be-
sides, most people would be shy OF TAX
ing such bill from any OF us. We
don't look as though we carried 81 600
bills around in our pockets"
"Well," said the man with the $780,
600, "I'll bet basket of champagne
with the bunch that can spend my
money as freely as though these were
So bills instead OF what they are, and
don't have any trouble about it,
either. I'll get change the first time 1
try. too, or lose the bet. And l won't
60 to any man who knows me-"
The wager was accepted, and the
man with $4,000, taking one friend
with him. walked out to pawnshop.
He said to the clerk only this:
"I have received $4,000 in ten
bills. They are mine and were come
by honestly. 1t is difficult for me, q
stranger, to get q 81 900 bill changed.
Here are the ten. Look at them. l
need some money, and want to pawn
one of these bills for $25. If you are
afraid OF me, call up police headqual-
ters and 1 will satisfy the people by
papers that can show that l am hon.
est. Or, il you like, call up Mr.. -.
who paid the money to me, and he
will tell you il am all right"
The pawnbroker looked at him
keenly for second and then said:
81 never took money as pledge,
but you are sober and seem all right,
and you can have the $25. Give me
the 81 600 bill.
The pawnbroker examined the bill
carefully, and then, to the astonish-
ment OF the others, took another 81 900
bill out of his safe and compared them.
Then, just as he would make out a
ticket for ring or watch, he issued

"Well," was the reply, II don't

he's dead or not"
The barrister glanced triumphantly
round the court. His expression grad
