but resigned his position to study occult
sciences at Meudon. The independence Of
the mind in dreams caused him to con-
clude that personality is dual. and he re-
solved on an experiment that should free
his soul from his body for a time.
His experiment was based on that of the
fakirs in India, who have themselves buried
alive, maintaining their body in a lethargic
state while their minds are supposed to
journey In the astral world.
He constructed an apparatus. consisting
OF n reservoir fxea to the wall, which
would let a mixture Of chloroform, sui
phuric ether and water. fall, drop by drop,
on his face.
Then, choosing his birthday for the ex-
pertinent. he wrote his will and a letter
TO friend. He placed himself on a bed
beneath it, having anointed his body with
antiseptics, that modification should not
set in while his soul was absent.
The letter to his friend asked him to
awaken GIelle at the end OF ten days. I'm
mediately on receiving It the friend rushed
to the young mans apartments with
Guelle's mother. They we're too late. They
found the student stretched on the bed, a
calm expression on his face as il he were
sleeping He had been dead several hours
In his will he enioined his mother not
to regret him If his experiment should
prove fatal He promised that his scul

ment in regard to the significance Of his
discovery Of the hydrophobia microbe:
This discovery nils a great gap in modern
science, for heretofore we have been totally
ignorant of the microbe Of hydrophobia
The researches Of other psychologists
have resulted in descriptions by various
authorities Of this microbe but none had
been able to embody in one and the same
whole the various details discovered.
THE rabies microbe, being polymorphous,
or many-formed, the discoverers OF the va
rious forms did not associate them in one
biological connection. Then, the study of
all the different forms required an enor-
nous amount of time, research and the
best appliances, all of which l have been
able to give them.

small, being visible only when enlarged

They appeared more than human and
seemed more like a white spirit as

multitude as the pope performed mass
and after benediction retired. 1t is
estimated that 10000 people, including
about 1000 Americans, attended.

from impounding or storing the waters
of the Rio Grande during the torrential
season. Our citizens should take the
greatest interest in this matter and
protest in every way they can against
this injustice. The state of Colorado,
which is the chief offender in this
matter, is not touched in the suit. They
take all the water they want and no
one says word. But Colorado is a
state and New Mexico territory, and
that makes all the difference.
How does Albuquerque appear to
me? Well, after an absence of about
stantial improvements. The most no.
ticeable is the new hotel, not only
from it's striking exterior, but also for
the good taste of its interior furnish
ings and decorations. | haven't yet
had a chance to take ride about
town. but the well outlined streets as
far as the eye can reach, show great
progress and their well kept and clean
ly condition speak volumes in praise
of the city authorities.
las to Albuquerque future? Well,
am pretty fair prophet, and in view
of the many new enterprises, factories
and railroad which will soon material
ize, | should say that Albuquerque
would enjoy an increase of population
in next two years of about 80 to 40 per
cent. | think the future prospects are
fine. What has impressed me more
than anything is that the sidewalks
seem much narrower than they used
to be. OF course they are not and for
some time | was puzzled to account
for this impression; but it was finally
explained by the greater number of
people upon them which made them
look crowded and consequently
smaller This indicates a vast increase
in population within the past two
years Yes, Albuquerque is all right,
and | am very proud of the town, for
have spent much time and money in
her behalf, and have given besides of
the best years of my life helping with
many others to push her to the fore. :"

special order for Monday at 10 o'clock.
The bill to define the qualifications
of Jurors, council bill No. 20, was re-
ported by the judiciary committee with
two reports. The minority report, by
Mr.. Hawkins, recommended passage.
The majority report recommended that
the bill be tabled indefinitely. Mr.. Fall
made plea for the passage of the bill
and the amendment of the jury law
He charged that the present law is a
creation of the politicians. Mr.. Spess
defended the bill.
Mr. Hawkins made an argument
against the present system and urged
the passage of the bill. Mr.. Duncan
favored the present system and was
opposed to adopting the wheel. Mr..
Fall again spoke in opposition to the
present system and cited the case of
an innocent man who was convicted
and died In Jail. Mr., Hawkins again
spoke. President Chaves called Mr..
Fall to the chair and spoke against the
present system. He cited the action
of the government in important cases
in sending officers here to watch
juries. He said every time that juries
are selected, he Is solicited to get peo-
pie on juries. The minority report
was rejected by to votes. The ma
jority report was adopted by to 8
votes, Messrs. Albright Fall, Hawkins,
Hughes and President Chaves voting
against it. Mr. Spiess moved to table
the bill, but Mr.. Fall moved to adjourn,
but the motion was lost to 5. Mr.
Spiess renewed his motion but Mr.. Fall
moved to lay his motion on the table.
Mr.. Spiess said that this could not be
done, but President Chaves ruled
against him. Mr.. Spiess appealed from
the decision. The vote was ayes and
6 nays and the chair was sustained as
two-thirds vote is necessary to over
ride the chairs decision, The motion
was lost by 6 10 8 votes. Mr. Fall

From AnarchicaiH iHarnn--P0int OF No Quorum,
Failed Of Recognition in the House.

Washington, March 3.-At II o'clock
today the senate entered upon the last
legislative day of the fifty-seventh
congress.
There will be no adjournment until
~ o'clock tomorrow when the congress
expires by limitation.
A resolution was adopted continuing
until the next regular session the
standing and select committees.
The conference report on the sundry
civil bill was agreed to.
Mr.. Hoar called up the conference
report on the bill to protect the presi-
dent.
Mr.. Bacon, Georgia, declared the al
legged conference report is bill which
with the exception of single sentence
had never been read in the senate. The
bill, he said is far reaching in its char
acter and absolutely subversive of the
fundamental principals on which the
government is founded.
Replying, Mr.. Hoar insisted the con-
ference report was the senate bill in
its entirety with the exception of a
matter pertaining to anarchists.
The program in the senate for the
closing legislation day is to take re-
cess at O'Clock until o'clock tomor-
row.
Before ) o'clock probably all confer
ence reports, except the naval bill, will
be agreed to.
An understanding is the Aldrich bill
will not be pressed. This will prac-
tically clear the decks and the sena-
tors can avoid the usual all night ses-
sion preceding the end of congress.
