genius must be classed with criminals and luna
tics abnOrmally developed one side of their
nature. Says Mr.. Myers:
On this point I shall join issue, and l shall
suggest, the other hand, that genius-f that
psychological defnition-ShOuld rather be re-
garded a power of utilizing wider range
than other men utilize of faculties IN some
degree innate in ALA power of approprIatlng the
results of Subiiminal mcntdtiOn to SubSerVe the
supralininal stream of thOught-SO that an IN
spiratiun of genius will be i'll truth sublln1-
nal uprush, emergence into the current CT
ideas which the man is consciously manlpu-
hating of ether ideas which he has not con-
sciOusiy originated. but which have shaped
themselves beyond his will. in profounder re
giOns of his being. l shall urge that there Is
here nO real departure from normaIlty; no ab-
normality; at least in the sense of degeneration;
hut rather fulfilment of the true norm of man.
with suggestions. il may be, of something super
normal-of something which transcends existing
nornality as advanced stage of evolutionary
progress transcendS earlier stage.
Genius he thus finds is an alternating phase
of personality. Naturally this leads to the con-
sideration of the most normal alternating phase
sleep, and into the problems presented by sleep
the author plunges with zest, presenting US with
accounts of and deductions from some highly in
New-York tribune., 1903-03-29

teresting phenomena which occur during that
state. In logical sequence he now passes 10
hypnotis, considered as an empirical deVeop-
ment of sleep, and easy means OF explof-
ing the subItminal self. Hypnotic suggestion he
defines as a successful appeal to the subhhlhdI
self Many instances are given Of the benehcldl
effects of hypnotic suggestion in eradicatlng
human faults or human lis. He further says
that IF hypnotism be thus generalized as an ap-
neal to the subliminal self, that appeal should
not be the mere appanage Of medical practice,
but should be based for mankind at large upon
some deep seated instinct faith. Such faiths
or instincts form what I have called schemes
of self-suggestion.' Here the orthodox Will
trarnbIe Mr. Myers finds that self-suggestion is
answerable alike for the miracles of the amulet
of the savage and for the miracles OF Lourdes'
answerabIe also, for faith healing, CHRISTIAN
Science mind healing All these are schemes OF
self-suggestion' beneficial to mankind. Not
that there is any irreverence in his treatment of
the delicate problems involved. He feels 100
kAenlv the need Of high religious ideals.
Go far 60 good. Now, however, come to
,,.ba+ may he termed the more difficult part OF
the hook. sensory and motor automatisTn, trance
Dossession and ecstasy, as eYidenclng not only
the wonders of the subliminal self and the truths
of telepathy, but the validity OF the doctrine that
departed spirits can and do communicate Win
spirits still in the flesh. Despite his assertion
that his work lis in large measure critical
attack upon the main Spirit!st position, as held

$50 Longmans. Green 6 Co.
Whatever be the final Judgment on the merits
OF this work whether passed by sceptic or by
spiritualist. enduring epitket must be ap
plied-that it is a monument to human persc-
verance. For upward of thirty years Mr.. Myers
continued an indefatigable search, the search
for proof absolute and convincing that human
personality survives bodily death, and when his
own spirit answered the final rocall of mortal
ity 1t was with the firm belief that it was at
the same time responding to the first rollcall of
Immortality Not that this belief matter
of faith alone. The inherent desire for immor
taIity did not suffice ir this mans to let
belief in it rest upon faith. He sought to de-
monstrate what many consider the undemon-
strable his was the effort to reduce to the ex-

HAS DONE A GOOD WORK.

The civic federation, of which Sen
ator Hanna is chairman, has done .
good work since it was established.
Senator Hanna, in a speech at Cleve-
land, o., explained its purposes, ana
in part said:
"Since the organization Of the Civ
ic Federation, the working people have
been prosperous as never before, and
so have the employers. The wage ear
ners, however, thought to themselves,
are we getting our part of this pros
perity?' must admit that in many
cases they were not. We aim to rem
edy that condition. Where there is a
difference of opinion between labor
and capital we try to bring them to-
gether. The Federation Toes not act
as a board of arbitration. We only
want to nike it possible to get the en-
ployer and the employed together to
adjust their troubles. 4 failure on
the part of the federation to bring
them together has been very rare in
deed We have been instrumental in
settling nearly 100 strikes in two
years.
1.-The only failure of any import
ance was in the great anthracite
strike. | nade proposition to the
mine owners to settle the strike on
basis OF per cent. advance to tine
miners and they refused. The arbi-
tration board appointed by President
Roosevelt gave the miners more than
twice as much. If our offer had been
accepted, it would have saved the
country 5000, 900, 0O0."
> Referring to the statement that had
been made that his connection with
the Civic Federation was for political
purposes, Senator Hanna said;
'Some may say that my connection
with this organization is for political
purposes, but l can't help their say
ing it. / know what am doing it
for. Every man who has the interest
of his country at heart should aid in
any movement which has for its pur-
pose the betterment of economic con-
ditions of the human race"

DATE MAY BE CHANGER
THIS Is THE PROSPECT IN RED
MEMS CARNIVAL.

The Red Mems Amusement associa.
tion has as yet made no contract for
its fall carnival attractions, and the
proba bility now is that it will be I'M
able to secure attractions for the week
decided on, that Of September 81.
An effort has been made to close
with the carnival company that offer
ed the best attractions, but it seems
that the companies are more greatly
in demand at that season Of the year
than any other, and have gotten quite
independent.
The indications are that the fall fes-
tival will have to be given later than
intended, probably not until some
time in October. This, however. is
not settled.

Colonel Belknap to be elected COVER.
nor, but does not believe he will be,
quotes him as saying;
"What governor Mr.. Belknap
would make. He is conscientious
Christian gentleman and doesn't
know what it Is to have mean
thought. He would render equal and
absolute justice between all men; no
man would dare approach him with
an improper suggestion and he would
never give his official sanction to an
act that his conscience did not ap.
prove. Every fair-minded man in
louisville who knows Colonel Belk-
nap will tell you that this is the esti.
mate universally placed upon him a
man. but he is not loved by all as
we sometimes say of a happy-go-lucky
politician without character or brains,
and / don't think he can arouse
enough personal enthusiasm to win"
We have reported this conversation

ing the prediction Of defeat, because
we wanted to show just how a man

TO THE PUBLIC.

The electrical workers union local
No. III, OF Psducah, desires the pub
lie to understand the true and exact
condition OF affairs which demanded
the placing Of the East Tennessee Tel
ephone company on the unfair list and
which action called forth card from
its local manager is highly mislesd-
ing. II must first be distinctly under
stood that the present contest is not
between the two telephone companies
nor was the action taken in hehalf Of
the Peoples Independent, Telephone
company. The card published yester
day morning was not signed by the
superintendent OF the new company
because that officer is not and under
the constitution cannot be a member
of any labor organization the contest
is the old one which has always exist
cd between organized labor and the
East Tennessee Telephone company.
The contest has never been waged in
Paducsh until now for the reason that
the union was unwilling to inconven-
renee the public so long as there was
only one telephone company here.
Now that there are two companies the
union has taken this action simply to
secure the rights Of its members as
men.
1t protests against and asks all OF it's
friends not to patronize a company
which has always refused to employ
union men and takes occasion TO dis
charge man who joins the union
while In its employ and which has ut
all times refused to arbitrate any
difference which has arisen. The Peo-
pies company, on the other hand, has
always acted in the opposite manner
favors the union and pays its scale.
For this reason and this reason only
the Electrical Workers union local
No. 1T, which includes many men,
bers of electrical, but not employed by
either telephone company has taken
this reasonable course. In conclusion
the local desires to say that it will
always be ready to arbitrate its diff
erenoes with the East Tennessee Tel
ephone company, and will remove the
company from the unfair list as soon
a. IL can do 90 under the laws.

THE Case LIFT OPEN
Market Master Woods Hearing
to Be Resumed Saturday.
He Is Charged with Assaulting j. j.
Earnhsrt by Using His Club.

The trial of Market Master Joe
Wood for alleged assault and battery
on J. J. Earnhart, at the market place
last Saturday was partially invosti-
gated by Justice Il. j. Barber yestcr-
day ana left open until Saturday
IL appears from the evidence that
last Saturday Mr.. Esrnhnrt vas down
about the market surrounded by
large crowd. The market master had
to open the gangway several times,
and charged that Mr. Earnhart was
drinking and was attracting the peo-
pie by his talk, and Mr.. Esrnhart
claims he was only trying to hire some
boys to work on his farm.
After several efforts to keep the
gangway clear 80 people could go to
and from the market. Mr.. Earnhart,
according 20 reports IN rather ban
tering tone asked the officer why he
didn't arrest somebody, and the officer
said he would arrest him, and did 50.
Mr. Esrnhart objected. although the
officer claimed he had committed
breach of the peace by attracting a
crowd, and the officer used his club.
The prisoner created some little excite
ment about the city hall on account OF
the language he Is alleged TO have
used against the officers and when tho
