SHAMELESS, cowARDLY, DAs-
TARDLY."
The Work Of the Senate Committee So
Styled.

From the Lynchburg News.
And now, in a quiet, undetermined sort
of method, the friends of B. +. Barnes
who some time since ordered and super
intended the forcible election OF Mrs. MI
nor Morris from the White House, are try
ing to create the impression that this lady
Is of unsound mind. "A printed recital of
the White House affair."" says a Washing
ton special to the Baltimore Sun, has been
quietly circulated among the members OF
the Senate. The object Is to show that
there Is really no reason for the Senate
committee to investigate Mr.. B. +. Barnes,
the assistant secretary to the President
who has been appointed postmaster or
Washington. One of these allegations IS
from a physician in Asheville, N. c.. who
says that two years ago he treated MIS-
Morris for insanity. Mrs. Morris herself
says she has never been in Asheville. 1t Is
understood that Senator Ttllman went be-
fore the committee several days ago. Of
fered to prove the entire falsity or the
declaration of the Asheville physician. put
the committee brushed him aside and de-
clared in effect that 1t was not interested
in his contradictions, and forthwith ordered
that his allegation should be printed as
part OF an executive document and dis
tributed to the senator's.
II this insanity report Is false, as Senator
Tillman affirms. Its circulation constitutes
shameless, cewardly and dastardly pro-
ceeding And, even If true, IT fails to bear
materially upon the merits of the case with
which the Senate committee on post offices
has been confronted. If Mrs. Morris was
treated for disordered mind two years
ago, the inference Is not necessary that
she was lacking in mental poise when she
visited the White House to see President
Roosevelt. But, going to the furthest limit
of concession, and granting that the lady
in question was not of sound mentality
upon that occasion, that fact constitutes no
reason why she should have received the
brutal treatment accorded her under
Barnes direction and by his subordinates,
one of whom was a negro. Every tactic
yet resorted to in defense of the. White
House bouncer Is but begging the real
question before the Senate and attempting
to palliate and conceal an act of Infamous
nature committed in the house and upon
the grounds that belong to the American
people and by man in the service of the
nations highest public servant.

Consider themselves Aristocrats.

Patzcuaro is a quaint old place, one of
the quaintest in Mexico. way behind the
times still in the middle ages. and the
people are very religious very conserva-
tive, and very Spanish. They cling tenaci-
ously to their ancient customs, and con-
slider themselves the purest and the Hottest
of the Spanish aristocracy remaining in
Mexico. 1t is one of the oldest cities In
the republic and was settled by group of
grandees from the south of Spain shortly
after the conquest. 1t has not increased in
rather fallen off little. The name means
"A Place of Pleasure" and the National
Railway Company proposes to make 1t so
by the erection of a fine hotel on the banks
of the lake so that the people of the capital
and tourists from the United States may
have an opportunity to enjoy the lovely ell
mate, the picturesque scenery and the
shooting and fishing that can be found here.
What Mexico lacks more than anything
else is good hotels. and the railway people
may be forever known benefactors of
their race If they will carry out this
promise and build an up-to-date hotel at
PatZcuaro.
The railway station Is about three miles
from the town and is connected by street
cars which are hauled up the Hill with
team of six mules and run down by gravity
with the drivers hand upon the brake.
/ don't suppose any other place in Mex
leo has such curious customs. The market,
for example. Is held in the evening instead
of In the early morning as in other cities
and occupies the plaza in the center of the
town which is lighted up by little fires and
torches OF pine knots On a mat of rushes
beside each fire sits an old woman with
fish, fruits and vegetables spread out
around her and other market wares. 1t is
a most fascinating picture.

Still Believe In Miracles.

Bishop Don Vasco de Quiroga struck a rock

and brought forth a fountain of water
which is walled up and covered with a
stone roof and still supplies the city. If
you question the accuracy of the story the
people will look at you In surprise and ex-

bishop was quite as good and great a man
as Moses and equally able to perform mir
acles. He was a good and a great man.

Witches In ERgsh ellis.

When Napoleon III. was approaching
sovereignty he asked judicious friend
to observe him carefully for a week
and to point out to him anything that
severest code of the manner of a we'll
bred man. At the end Of the week
there was only one practice which his
friend had noticed. The emperor after
eating a boiled egg invariably thrust
his spoon through it. Whence this prac-
tice has arisen, at one time not uncom-
mon, it is difficult to say. Some date it
from a very early period and assume
that it was done originally in order to
prevent witches sailing in the eggshells.

EXPERIMENTS ON THE BRAIN.
aieotrlo Current Used to Induce sIssE
Sensation Felt,

Electric Current Used to Induce sIssr
Sensation Felt.
Experiments on the brain of a living
subject with electric currents have
beer comparatively rare, as there has
prevailed among physicians and phys
iologists the idea that such q course OF
experimentation was extremely dan
gerous, says Harper's Weekly. There
have recently been published, how.
sver, records Of some experiments car.
fled on by M. 8. Leduc, with the object
OF using the electric current to pro
luce sleep and of studying its effects
on the brain generally.
In early experiments 1t was shown
that the brain Ia the best conductor of
electricity In the human body. being
about 1900 times more conducting
than muscle. 1t was also observed
that when . continuous current was
passed through the head from one a
70 the other the sensation of giddiness
v a produced and hat objects ap-
peared to revolve in the same direc-
ton as the current flowed. However.
when the electrodes are placed on the
forehead and neck and the current
sent from back to front the effects are
innocuous so long as a mild current Is
used and in some cases may be bene
f1oial. According to M. Leduc. the
most satisfactory current is one Of
four milliamperes at thirty volts,
which is broken or interrupted 100
times a second for nine-tenths Of the
period of the i~nterrnp%oh. The first
effect noted vas the disappearance of
the faculty OF speech, after which fol
lowed the loss Of the motor faculties.
Under ordinary conditions there is no
affection of the respiration or pulse
unless the current is increased. and
then 1t may cease. The patient is said
to awaken instantaneously from the
electric sleep and to experience a feel
ing of refreshment.
