Magnetic Personality.

When searched by the steward at
the Detention Hospital for the Insane,
to which place he had been conveyed
at the request Of his landlady, some
surprises were forthcoming. He was
completely wrapped about the body
and lower limbs with coil of insulat-
ed copper wire, such as is used for
electric lighting. In each OF his pan
falcons pockets he had wrapped in
rubber bags two glass bulbs encased
In dirty brown paper with q mixture
of bluestone and ground copper added.
To the chief steward he impaired
the news that he possessed a deep
secret, which would surpass Edison
and all other wizards of the world.
With his secret he would be enabled
to throw light at will upon any OBJ
ject he saw 1T. 1t would enable him
to have a light in his room at all
hours, which would scare away spirits,
ghosts and midnight providers and for
that matter he could send a shock
through the body of his enemy with
out the fear of detection. All this ex-
planned theswire about his body. That
was part OF the invention.
To uncoil the wire required the as
sistance Of two men. as the crazy man
fought like a wild tiger. He is now
a patient in the State hospital for the
insane at Agnew.

After ffty-four years the old Capitol
OF Alabama is to be remodeled and mora
room provided for those who attend to
the affairs Of the State. The sum OF
S15O,OOO has been appropriated for tha
purpose.
The present State House was built In
1850, the other. its immediate prede-
cessor, being destroyed by fire in 1849.
1t is Of old-time architecture, with the
regulation Capitol dome and six mas
sive columns at the front. It Is three
stories high and in about as poor con-
dition for Office service as any one
could we'll imagine. While the grounds
are carefully kept and look very pretty,
the building is anything but a neat
and convenient place in which to do the
business Of the State. Nobody viii be
sorry that It Is to be fixed up in some
sort Of way commensurate with the
dignity Of a great State Ike Alabama.

The Price of Peace.

II Is rather early yet 10 speculate as
TO what terms victor will impose on
vanquished in the present Russo-Japa-
nese war; but, from the enormous in
IDENTITIES which have been paid to
end strife between nations in the past
il would seem to cost little less 10 stop
war than to wage it.
Throughout the -4istory of the world
no country has treated a vanquished
foe so generously as Great Britain;
and there are several instances on
record IN which we have refrained
from enforcing payment of indemni-
ties voluntarily undertaken by fallen
adversaries. Indeed, in most cases
England has been content with ces-
sion OF territory as the price Of peace,
but when any of her subjects have
suffered insult or injury at the hands
OF the fee she has rightly insisted on
an indemnity in cash.
