VIII Throw Himself Into a Trance and
 Stay Underground Week.

The wonderful food and water test to which Professor Beno will be subjected this week at East Lake is attracting con- siderable attention.
 Tonight at S:30 he will throw himself into trance by a hypnotic exercise of his will power and under the direction of the Warner-Smiley company he will be placed in a glass sided case which will be dramatically sealed and several thousand pounds of dirt will be fastened on top of the case to insure his safe keeping. Here he will lie on public exhibition night and day until Saturday night, when he will be taken out in the presence of the as- sembled crowd, resuscitated. Many per- sons are little skeptical about this feat. but visit to East Lake and a most rigid examination will show that the test Is bona fide. Doctors and scientists have been requested to be present tonight and examine the subject before he enters a comatose state.
 A watchman employed by the railway company will keep him under surveillance day and night to insure his absolute fast.
 No admission fee will be charged to view the case during the week or the resuscita ton Saturday night.

--------tsr--- - NOVEL CRIMINAL DEVICE.
Thieves Used Walking Sticks With
 Hook at End.

A number of times recently the police have been mystified by robberies which have been committed and where 1t seemed that the burglar had not entered the room but had taken things from chairs in 1t. The solution of this seems to have been found.
 A number of negroes have made walk ing sticks and canes with a hook on the end of them. They open window slight Iy and reach into a room with these sticks and pull clothing and other things out by means of the hook. In this way they are able to burglarize a house with out taking the risk of going on the inside and making any noise.
 The scheme Is one of the most novel that has been worked in many years. The work has puzzled the police for some time and this seems to be the most plausible theory as to how the jobs have been done. What is supposed to have been case of that kind was done Friday night. The residence of F. M. Fletcher at 921 Eff teenth street, south, was burglarized and A quantity of clothing was stolen. In the pocket of MT. Fletchers trousers was about $7O in cash.
 The clothing was lying on chair near the window, and it is supposed that the thief reached in with a stick and a hook and pulled the clothing through the win- doU

WORKING COMMITTEE MEETS.
Textile Workers State Their Side of
 the Strike Question.

Philadelphia, June 1.-The working com mlttee of the central textile union. com posed of one delegate from each union on strike, met at strike headquarters today and considered the situation. After five hours session the committee. In conjunc- tion with the executive board of the tex tile workers, issued a statement to the public giving reasons for the strike of over 75.000 men, women and children.
 The statement says the strike was or dered for sanitary reason; that it was necessary because the health of the men, women and children was at stake. The statement called attention to the fact that children were compelled to work ten and three-quarter hours a day in the mills from Monday to Friday, and six and one- quarter hours on Sundays.
 The statement also declares that the textile industry as shown in statistics produced before the anthracite coal strike commission, is more deadly than the min ing industry; that workers in the mills where there Is always dust are subject to pulmonary diseases. The statement also asks for the support of the public, and reiterates the willingness of the workers to meet their employers for confer ence.
