BOSS HANNA'S GAME.

BROWNSVILLE HERALD: Boss Han
wa submits gracefully after his lit
TIE display of independence, and is
promised reelection to the Senate
rs a reward.
After all, it may be found that
Mr. Hanna has played deep game.
He protested to oppose the indorse-
t1asnt of Roosevelt by the Ohio Re-
gonbIican State convention. He then
yielded, after struggle. But in his
speech to the convention he dwelt
at length on the Importance of
letting we'll enough alone" That
Ineans that be does not want the
tariff interiered with in any way.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Roosevelt is generally supposed to
lie somewhat partial to the "Iowa
Iidea," which is nothing more or
LESS than the modification of the
tariff on articles manufactured by
rnonopolies. Now, it may be that
Hanna pretended to oppose the in
sEOrsement in order to get on dicker-
EGg ground with the "Iowa idea"
Eseople, thus to secure compromise
Ey which he would cease opposition
IF an assurance could be given him
that the tariff would not be inter
ffered with. He is not a small man
intellectually. He represents the
protected industries in the fullest
sense of the term. He got 'mes-
sage" from Mr.. Roosevelt before he
came around. He must have gotten
sthe pledge he wanted.-Galveston

cables to-day announced the first
anstance in England wherein
kypnotism was substituted for an
.znasesthetic in a serious surgical
separation.
This recalls the fact that in this
country hypnotism has been used
Hzany times to produce anestbesia,
=z1d that in several instances major
separations have been performed
E1pon patients while under hypnotic
Znfiuence. During the period of
hypnosis the patients have retain

Ezeentioned in the London adyices

to report that one of the assistant

forty-pound tumor being removed
from woman. As in the operation
in Toledo, the patient was conscious
of everything save the operation
the surgeons were performing upon
her.
For the performance of capital
operations, very deep hypnosis is
obviously necessary, but not more
than five per cent of humanity can
be placed in this condition. Some
respond to the suggestion Of the
operator with remarkable CELEBRITY.
Not long ago in Brooklyn hospi
tai, a hypnotic operator took the
hand of a woman patient, telling
her that when he had stroked it
the third time, she would not be
conscious of the infiction OF pain.
The operator stroked the hand a
third time and then, without caus-
ing the patient to finch in the
least, or evince any sign of pain,
needle was thruhst beneath her
nail.
Enucalation OF the eye-that is,
removal of the ball, an operation
known to be attended by great
deal of pain-has been performed
by means of hypnosis. Two years
ago, in Oswego, it was successfully
and painlessly performed under
this condition.
The operation in London, to
which the cables call attention,
was performed on a woman suf-
fering with an liberated leg, which
had to be amputated. In accord
ance with her own wish,
fearing the use of chloroform, she
was hypnotized by Doctor Aldrich.
of Chaplain, after a series of ex-
perimentS extending over several
days.
On Wednesday, she was operated
upon. During the operation the
patient retained consciousness, so
the dispatches say, and chatted
with the nurse and drank wine.
The ordinary observer would have
believed her to be in full posses
sion of all her senses. But she was
entirely unaware of what was being
done to her. Once Doctor Aldrich
said to her:
'In am cutting off your leg be-
low the knee" and her cheerful
reply was: "All right; hold my
hand"
One of the attending surgeons
took hold her hand and noticed
that she frightened her grip when
the nerves were severed.
The operation lasted twenty
minutes, and when the patient was
awakened five minutes later, she
complained only of ''pins and

TT WOULD like to find the particular
spot at which Frank Daniels could
help being funny. 1t isn't on the
IN thermometer. Put him on ice in
suit Of pale pink summer-weight
paiamas and Daniels would cheerfully
CONCEAL into a smile frappee. He can't
help it, he was born that way; which is
a good thing for Miss Simplicity" and
in this case a bad thing for Daniels.
Miss Simplicity" would not go for five
minutes without Daniels. Bolstered up,
hoisted, boosted and generally dragged
into place by the comedian-gallantly as
sisted by a good and courageous COM
pany-"Miss Simplicity" will fill an innoc-
uous evening for the good-natured with
a mild approach to pleasure, but that is
all.
You can see holes through it's plot that
is aged with the deadly age of last week :;
il is heavily inoculated with the sextet
microbe-the author being so fond of the
motif as to introduce it twice: the Flo
rodorie'' tact" is also found in disguise,
and neither lines nor music anywhere
reach into joy. There isn't a tune that
sticks, save a scrap of a 'bell' chorus
IN the first act and a taste of a song
given to Grace Myers. That Mr.. Daniels
and his people contrive to get so much
out of the piece should certificate them
for all merry-making time and shrive
them of all the sins of Miss Simplicity"
Daniels has the part of a valet who
becomes a deputy king in place of n
young gallant who goes a-troubadouring
after a pretty wench of the fields. The
authors place every possible hindrance in
Daniels way, but he makes good" in
spite of them. His desiccated drollery
chips off into its usual odd chunks and
when he can do nothing else his eloquent
eyebrow goes skyward and fetches down
it's laugh every time. The best thing in
Miss Simplicity" is out of it-Daniels'
speech in between acts. If you go use
every hoot you have to get the speech
and you viii feel that you have not lived
through the act in vain.
The dictionary turns pale as Daniels
hands out "cosmogonies" and "macro-
ccsms' in hatfuls and the audience
laughs its first over-the-belt laugh Of the
night.

A1cazar.

THE Case of Rebellious Susan by
Henry Arthur Jones, was produced at the
Alcazar Theater last night before a large
audience. It is some years since it was
seen in this city and the favora-
bic impression 1t then created was inten-
stfied last night. 1t tells the story Of
young wife rebelling against the flirting
conduct Of her husband. She leaves him
and goes with a lady friend to Egypt,
where she meets a young man and her
little romance, which is peremptorily
stopped by her uncle, Sir Richard Kato,
judge in the divorce court, and she is
finally brought to her senses when she
learns that her young lover has been
married after a brief courtship There
are several very strong scenes, partic-
ularly the one between the young wife
and her uncle. Miss Juliet Crosby in
the title role scored an unqualified sue
cess. 1t was really the first chance she
has had in leading part to display her
versatility and strong dramatic force,
and she astonished and delighted her ad-
mirers. The scene between her and Sir
Richard at the close of the second act
calls for varied emotions and she rose
splendidly to the occasion. Ernest Hast
ings, as Sir Richard played the part with
characteristic fidelity and earnestness Of
purpose. Henry Simmer was excellent as
Admiral Sir Joseph Darby and Clifford
Dempsey was acceptable as James Har-
abin. Albert Morrison, as Lucien Eden
sor, the young lover, was thoroughly con-
vincing and showed that he is possessed
of unexpected emotional power. Frank
Bacon, in the comedy part of Ferguson
Pybus, was in his element. George Os-
bourne met with a fiattering reception on
his temperance. He had a small part
but played it with tact. Miss Adele Bel
garde was graceful and dignified as Mrs
Quesnel, and Miss Marie Howe did well
as Lady Darby. Miss Oza Waldrop was
clever as Elaine Shrimpton, who goes
in for women's rights.

with clever limitations of various fnstrl-
Inents and with good ballad singing, help
ed out largely and were recalled many
times. There is considerable vocal talent
IN the company, all around Erickson
sang topical song with lot of verses,
but still the audience wished for more.
The scene of the breaking up Of the log
jam was made unusually thrilling The fun
was kept up in the comedy parts AL
though the play has been seen here many
tunes 1t does not seem TO have lost any
or its popularity in San Francisco.

, Pretty Grace Myers is delicately fetch
ing and graceful as Mademoiselle Clair de
Lionville. The young Californian can
also sing in a lark-like voice that has
been eXcellently trained. She shows also
glints of her gifted mammals (Annie Ny
ers) chic and snap, and with added ex-
perience will doubtless become the plump
little opera queen her mamma was before
Ter, and still is. Mai Lowery brings 4
note Of Joy into the piece. AS Rosalie,
Miss Simplicity, she is the root Of more
affectional displays and generally bright
ems things amazingly while she is on the
stage. Frank Turner is a pleasing t1gure

shows distinct promise, Kate TART looms
up handsomely and there are others. The

looks human, and the girl chorus is as
pretty as they make EN- The piece goes

Hartman, Webb Annie Myers and Fog
arty, aided and abetted by Aimee Leices
ter Fred Kayanagh and the Cow, repre-
sented by Conlon and Ryder, furnish
most of the fun, and Arthur Cunningham,
Bertha Davis and little Cecil Cowies all
do some good singing. The children in
ballets and nursery songs make a hit and
the pretty scenery is nightly applauded to
the echo. The next production will be the
"Mikado.'' which has not been given here
for a long time, and should serve to at
tract lovers of the famous comic opera,
easily Gilbert and Sullivans greatest

acceptance with the great

There was the usual big first night

when Barbara Fidgety," the burlesque
on Barbara Freitchie," was received
with hearty approval. The burlesque
quite reached the expectations formed
from the excellence and humor of pre-
cedfng travesties produced at Fischer 3.
The company was admirably cast and
kept the merriment of the burlesque at
high pitch. Barbara Fidgety'' has been
lavishly staged and will surely draw big

oPENING LADY,s LETTERs.

Augusta Tribune: One of the most
unusual cases was brought into Macon
from Holton, Ga, by the government
officers. They brought a young man.
z. L. Chancey. to answer the charge
Of breaking open and reading the let
ters of a lady in the community.
Chancey's father. William Chancey, is
postmaster at Holton, and the young
man was working in the office. The
charges are that he had a curiosity to
know how a certain affair was getting
along between a couple, and whenever
he got a chance to open a letter he did
30, and read to his hearts content. The
offense is very serious one. and he
hnds that ii is awfully annoying and
distressing to be charged with a thing
Of the kind, whether guilty or not
guilty. He will be bound over to an
Bwer before Judge Speer.
