Not a sign Of UnsOuDd Mind.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Oct. by decision
rendered to-day the Indiana Supreme
Court holds that belief In witohcraft Is not
evidence Of insanity and emphasizes Its
conclusions by declaring that Blackstone
and Sir Matthew Hale believed In witches
and also believed In burning them.
The question came up In suit to break
a will, and 1t was shown that the testator
had been In search Of treasure, hidden
years ago by Indians, and that he said
Il was always spirited by. witches just a.
he WAS about to find It's hiding place.
The court says that many scholarly and
successful business men believe in spiritual
ism, others In Christian Science and others
in the transmigration Of souls, and others
still In witchcraft, but 1t Is now well settled
that testamentary capacity is not determ-
ined by what one believes nor by the charac-
ter OF the horrid tales he tells.

MENTAL RALLUCINATlON.
Pope Loses Inconsistencies Of His
Surroundings.

q feeling of dizziness, believed to have
been the result OF cerebral weakness.
His holiness was revived SO Satisfac-
torily by the administration of stimu-
lants that DIR. Lapponi was able to
leave the Vatican and pay another visit
tu his daughter, who Is suffering from
an attack of fever
The dizziness from which the pope
suffered was a kind of mental confu-
sion. during which he seemed 70 lose
consciousness Of his surroundings,
while he believed he saw q vision. H
explained afterwards that he though
he saw an underlined shadow moving
about the room, slowly approaching
his bed. whereupon the pontiff became
agitated and called for his valet, Pho
Contra. saying:
"Pio, Pho, who is 1t? Who Is it,"
DR.. Lapponi and Centra rushed to
the patients bed and soon succeeded
In tranQuillizing him.
1t developed during the morning as
the result of careful medical exam
ination that the condition OF the pope's
kidneys Is worse. as the component
parts OF the urine are not normal
The diminution Of certain elements
leads the doctors to fear that his sys-
tenn is gradually approaching a state
Of dissolution. No traces of albumon
were found, indicating, although tie
kidneys are not performing their func-
tions properly. that they are not them
selves organically diseased.

Immediate climax. Sunday night was
rather a sleepless one, particularly
during the early morning hours. The
official bulletin frankly speaks Of agi-
tated periods during the night and
confesses that the general condition of
the patient Is somewhat more de-
pressed. 1t developed soon after the
issuance Of the bulletin that this de-
preston was quite marked and it con-
tinued to manifest itself throughout
the forenoon. at one time assuming
an alarming aspect. This was when
the pope seemed to lose his grasp on
tangible surroundings.
For the first time since his Illness
began there was q momentary hallu-
cination. the patient believing that a
shadow fitted through the room. The
doctor aud the attendant succeeded in
Quietlng his fears. Outside of these
passing periods OF depression the gen
eral condition Of mental alertness
continues.

MANY PERSONS INJURED.
Jump From Burning Car Into Subway
Excavation

New York July l4.--Fifteen persons
have been hurt by falling into the sub
way excavation at Lenox avenue and
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street,
after jumping from a burning trolley
car on which they had had thrilling
ride for several blocks, while the mo-
torman was making desperate efforts
to reach fire engine house.
The car was filled with about eighty
passengers, mostly women and chill
dren. When they discovered the fire
many tried to jump. but the motor
man put on the full power. He had
not gone two blocks before the car
was enveloped in flames. The &C 4
ductor saw that there was danger of
burning the whole carload of passen-
gers and rang the bell.
The car came TO a stop right over
the excavations for the subway. The
passengers piled off on top OF one an
other The planking over the hole col
lapsel and about twenty-five persons
were carried down. Those on the bot
tom were severely bruised, but only
one was in a serious condition.

ONSLAUGHT BY BEARS.
Increased Weakness Shown by Stock
Market Securities.

New York, July 14-Increased weak
ness was shown by the stock market
in early dealings and a number OF
issues, including some of the stand
ard class, touched the lowest prices In
years. The opening was fairly steady.
with indications of good support, but
values soon receded under vigorous on
slaughts of the bears, together with a
renewal OF last weeks liquidation.
Stocks that made heavy declines In
the first hour included Pennsylvania,
New York Central, Northwestern,
Atchison. Rock Island ST. Paul, Illinois
Central. Wabash. the fractions. Met
ropolitan. Manhattan and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit and Amalgamated Cop

Steel corporation went to the lowest
point In their history On the curb
prices yielLed In sympathy with the
regular market.
Aside from the general feeling OF
pessimism there was no news to ac-
count for the weakness of the market
and such encouragement as should
have resulted from last weeks favor
able crop news was entirely ignored.
The end Of the first hour brought a
partial recovery in some issues and
the volume of trading diminished ma
terially, but the tone of the list con-
tinued feverish and unsettled.
A partial rally in the second hour
soon gave way to another selling
movement, in the course OF which
prices fell to lower level than at the
opening.
Baltimore and Ohio Reading and
Southern Pacific were the special ih-
terests involved. New York Central.
St Paul, Illinois Central and Consoli-
dated Gas all made further declines.
