Duty, 1t Vas Thought.

Engewood, Aug. II (SpeciaD.-Postmaster James
Harris. of Englewood was dismissed from that
place last night orders from Washington. and
Oliver Drake Smith. NeN-York lawyer. and one
Of Harris's bOndsmen. was sworn in TO 1lI the va
cancy until a successor is appointed Neglect OF
duty is given the primary cause for the removal
of Postmaster Harris. who has served only two
years of his term. The salary Is s.. 400.
After the last political campaign Assistant POST
master Jones was dismissed from the local Office
for destroying lot of misdirected campaign cir
eulars instead of sending them the dead letter
office. After this inquiry it declared that
Postmaster Harris put little OF his time in the
Office. paying more attention to his painting busl-
ness. This gave two OF his few political enemies
4 chance. and they three weeks ago circulated a
petition IN favor OF Tommy Tough Wilbur a
local hotelkeeper, for the place. John F. Miller
and Donald Mackay. the banker. were responsible
for this petition, and they criticised oy many
Republicans and Democrats for their action in face
of the fact that Postmaster Harris has only served
half his term
There is considerable speculation as 10 who the
next postmaster will be. EX-Assenblyman Joseph
II TillotsOn Editor OF The EngleWOOd Press
can have the office II he wants to- having the sup
port OF United States Senators Dryden and Kean,
OF New-Jersey. But TillOtsOn says he is a
candidate. Others mentioned Captain Charles
Barr. Freebooter William Davies and Charles
Stanton.
The public at large were we'll satisfied with Post
master Harris and his dismissal is regretted.

Legislative Session
10y TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE

Saratoga, y. Y, Aug. 14.-Colonel George w
Dunn chairman Of the Republican State Com
mittee. drifted into Saratoga tonight in his
usual quiet manner. and in the course of his
brief stay here on his way to Lake George he
found time TO exchange greetings with several
Republicans of note in the State organization
who are here. Colonel Dunn said his visit had
nothing to do with politics.
II is well known that last winter the session
al Albany had few jangling notes. The Colonel
is the great pacific element in the State organi-
cation, and if certain persons can be led TO see
the error OF their ways he viii be more than
satisfied
il is learned that eX-Judge Mills of Mount
Vernon, is TO be nominated TO succeed McCleI-
land resigned to accept the post of appraiser. as
Senator from Westchester. This will give
additional Republican vote in the Senate if he
is elected, which is a foregone conclusion.
Colonel Dunn talked with Congressman William
/. Ward of Westchester, who is here. and this
agreement was reached. II is said that Senator
Bracket is also inclined to go out of business as
a insurgent. and that harmony will brood over
Albany in the legislative work next winter, so
tar as the Republican organization is concerned.

hypnotst. resuscitated Cleveland Elliott the young
man who, it is declared, had been in a hypnotic
trance for the last three days and nights. The
young man struggled violently when being

had difficult mental work in restoring his
subject TO consciousness He went through
a series OF passes with his hands IRE
quent intervals. stared with the utmost steadi-
ness into his patients eyes and commanded him
time and again to awaken. For a long interva!
the patient did not heed the request. but when he
did he performed number of acrObatic feats-
On being fully awakened. the first thing ne did
was to ask for a cigarette He said that he felt
neither hungry nor thirsty. but yearned for
smoke. For a considerable time his face was eX-
treulely pale. but gradually il assumed more life
like hue. He told his name, and when asked what
day it was replied Tuesday the day on which
the experiment began.
