DROVE BLINDFOLDED
THROUGH STREETS.
Hypnotist Had no Trouble Finding
Keys which Had Been Hidden.

Keys Which Had Been Hidden.
Seated alone, -blindfolded, and yet
driving rapidly through the streets,
Knowles the hypnotist, yesterday gave
a remarkable exhibition of telepathic
powers. The test was perfectly car
ried out, and there was no oppOrtun-
ity for the hypnotist to secure any
aid from outside sources. Fully 100
persons followed the carriage through
the streets and an equally large num-
Der waited about the theater doors to
see how the experiment would ter
inmate.
A committee, composed of represen-
tatives of the press and MIR. Charles e.
Bait and Mr.. Frank Williams. con-
Quoted the test. The committee took
their seats in the carriage, two of
them acting as drivers, and then drove,
in Il circuitious route to Livingstons
Pharmacy. Here the bunch of keys
We're hidden in the rafters of an old
store room in the rear of the pre-
scriptiOn department. The commit
tee then returned to the theater by
an entirely different route.
Knowles was then placed in the
carriage with the committee and given
the reins, after a thorough test had
satisfied the committee that he was
unable to see. Without the least hes
itatiOn he drove. at a fairly rapid
gait, to Livingston's and went direct
ly to the old store room and picked
up the keys as readily as though he
had been with the committee when they
hid them. The exhibition kept the
crowd wondering long after it had con-
Guided.
AT the performance at the theater an
audience that packed the house TO the
doors watched with interest the per-
fOrmances of the hypnotist. Prof
Knowles is now acknowledged as the
best in the profession, and his achieve
ments with his hypnotic influence were
well nigh startling. For an hour and
a half he gave exhibitions of the power
that has puzzled scientists, and made
many well known local people do tbs
most ludicrous turns on the stage.
The performances will be continued
through the week. with the exception
of tomorrow night, when The Gay
Mr.. Goldstein" will be presented.

C0RC0RAN'S FOOT WILL
BE AMPUTATED TO-DAY.
Local LiGhtweight's Career in the
Ring Has Finally Ended

Local LiGhtweight's Career in the
Ring Has Finally Ended.
The many admirers of the pugilistic
ability of Tommy" Corcoran, the local
lightweight, will be sorry TO learn that
his ring career has been finally ended.
To-day the little fighters foot, which
has been troubling him for some time,
will be amputated. putting him forever
out of all ring battles.
Some time ago the foot and some of
the bones of the leg were injured in d
fall. Corcoran was taken to ST.
Joseph's Hospital where he has been
under treatment ever since. All that
medical skill and careful nursing and
attention could do was done in the
hopes that amputation would not be
necessary. The physicians and sur
geons decided yesterday, however. that
in order to insure against further com
plication setting in. as a result of the
injury. that the foot would have to be
cut off.
No definite arrangements had been
made last night but it is probable that
the operation will be performed some
time to-day. The step is taken only
because the physicians fear that there
may be far more serious results IL the
injured member is not removed at
once.

HORSE FELL DOWN
AND INJURED OFFICER.
PatrOIman CrOnin, Although Hurt,
Didn't Forget Duty.

Didn't Forget Duty.
Mounted Patrolman D. ]. Cronin
was painfully injured early yesterday
afternoon on Reynolds and Anderson
streets. and had to be taken to police
headquarters in the ambulance.
While riding at full speed the Off
GERS horse fell and rolled on top of
him. The patrolman's left foot and
ankle were badly mashed, but the leg
was not broken. The injured officer
was taken into the store of John Myers,
where he was kept until the arrival of
the ambulance. Later his injuries were
dressed by Police Surgeon Osborne.
1t had been reported to Cronin that
d negro burglar was in a store on An
derson street, and the officer put spurs
to his horse. At Reynolds street the
horse turned suddenly and went down,
with Cronin under it. The animal
made no effort to get UP Immediately,
and the patrolman was able to pull mis-
foot out before the horse did regain
it's feet.
Although badly hurt, and suffering
a great deal of pain, the officer did not
forget that he was on an important
mission when the accident occurred.
He asked two white men who ran to
his assistance to go to the store TWO
or three blocks away and arrest the
negro suspect. The negro was made
prisoner by the citizens, and was sent
to the police station, under directions
from the injured officer, as a suspicious
character.
The negro gives his name as James
Porter. and denies that he is guilty of
any crime. 1t is alleged that he bur
glarized a house in the southern sec
ton of the city. and it is believed at
police headquarters that he is wanted
for other offenses. 1t is alleged that
Porter was seen entering a house in
the South Side, from which quite a
number of articles were stolen. The
prisoner will be held pending a thor
ough investigation by Detective Muir
phY.

RooseveIt's Majority Over Parker
Nearly Double That Of Mckinley's
Over Bryan In 1eoo-Ferris Explains
His Defeat.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 10.-The ire
throughout Michigan kept the inspec
tors busy up to the present moment
but figures received here from various
sources are sufficiently complete to
give pretty accurately the vote cast
by the citizens of Michigan. and how
1t compares with previous elections,
At late hour last night there wero
still some counties whose count of
votes had not been completed or re-
turns made.
Roosevelt's majority in Michigan is
nearly twice that of McKinley's over
Bryan four years ago, when the
martyred president went 10000 over
the Nebraska man.
Ferris made his best showing in
Wayne county, which he carried by
6,157 votes. Warmers favorite county
proved to be Van Buren,. where he had
a majority of 1900. Barry, Ingham,
Ionia, Jackson, Kent, Livingston and
Washtenaw would have preferred Fer
r1s for governor, each giving him lib
eral majorities.
Mr.. Ferris is quoted as saying: 81
have said all along that IL the major
ity for the president went above 100,-
600 was defeated. I attribute my de-
feat to Roosevelt's great popularity.

with the determination to give Mich.
gan an administration that will coll
vince my critics that they have mis-
judged me. Now that the election is
over. let me say that bear no malice
toward any man."
