the afternoon the general staff, al.

that the rumors of disaster to General
Kuropatkin are false, declaring that
the issue is not yet decided. Neither

contrary they profess satisfaction at
the situation. Accoring to private in

HYPNOTlST GAVE PERFORM.
ANCE LAST NIGHT.
But Several Stunts Not on The
Bill Caused His Arrest
This Morning.

Newman. the hypnotist, who
claims for himself the ability tc
put under the mystic influence
all but drunkards, fools or skep.
tics, gave one man show at
Tenstrike last night, but several
stunts not on the regular bill
were pulled off and as a result
the hynoptist this morning paid
Walter Harris SIS in order to
square" himself for having
slandered Mr.. Harris in the
presence of those who attended
the show.
The performance opened at
Jacobson's hall at the usual hour
and goodly crowd was there.
!. The usual ante-real-show' speech
was made, after which the
hypnotist called for sound
minded men upon which to prac.
tice his mysterious power. A
number responded, among them
being Walter Harris, manager OF
the Hotel Richards. The young.
er men who were willing to allow
the hypnotist to use them in his
performance were quickly put tc
sleep and went through the most
unusual antics.
When the Snowman called
upon Mr.. Harris, however, is
when the trouble began. Mr..
Harris allowed him to use all his
charms and mysterious powers
upon him, but failed to be affect
ed, and after the hypnotist had
exhausted his cunning Mr.. Har-
RS promptly and emphatically
declared to him that he was a
fake and could not perform the
wonderful things that he claimed.
This stirred up considerable ire
on the part of the Snowman, who
Immediately entered into some

Harris, insinuating that he be.

which we're excluded from his
subjects.
Mr.. Harris left the hall but
when the Snowman attempted to
leave the town this morning he
was taken in charge by Constable
Ed Leonard, who conducted him
back to the Richards hotel, where
he paid Mr.. Harris SIS in order
to get out of town.

A Rigid Divorce Rule.

The Episcopal church in Canada has
reached the following solution of the
divorce problem so far as that church
is concerned:
Hereafter no clergyman owing obed-
fence 10 the church of England in Can
ada can solemnize marriage when a
divorced person is involved. so long as
the other party to the divorce is liv-
ing"
In other words the innocent" party
to divorce is held as firmly in restraint
a. Is the guilty" party to divorce. AC.
cording To the new canon the innocence
of the person seeking To contract re
marriage will not be taken into con
sideration. Couples who marry in the
Episcopal church in Canada must enter
the holy estate of matrimony cogniZant
of the fact that marriage is life con
tract. and that even if the divorce
court grant separation. there is We,
that marriage tie that binds until
death us do part"
There is no question that it will put
a mighty ban on divorce in the church
in Canada, but such action cannot be
expected outside the church. The
adoption of uniform divorce laws, is
the measure of innocence of the in
nocent' party. and the measure of
guilt of the guilty" party To divorce.
Little sympathy is TO be found for the
guilty party 10 divorce. and both

Tie action OF the Canadian church

eventually wipes out divorce in the
Episcopal caurch. IL could do so in
other churches. and If il is so effective
in the churches il would be effective
elsewhere.
