This Napoleonic trance is vouched
for by a physician. Mr. Chanler thus
/ describes it:
In communicating with my eX-fac
u1ty' by means Of vocal automatism
which is also one of my trance-l1ke
states, I was informed by my tX-fae-
ulty' that it would like me to go into
/ a Napoleonfc trance. 1t gave me to
| understand that would represent the
death of Napoleon Bonaparte by SO
doing, and that my features, when my
eyes were closed. and face, would re
semble strongly those of the dead Ma
| poleon Bonaparte. This was in Feb
ruary, 1897, upon or shortly after my
arrival at the Hotel K, New York
city.
My .X-faculty' did not tell me what
to do in order to produce the so-called
Napoleonic trance; it merely Informed
| me that when the time came it would
instruct me what to do to produce
the said trance. The distinguished
sculptor Mr. S. G., called at the Hotel
K, shortly after my arrival while |
was in bed and in the evening my x
faculty gave me to understand, with
out Mr.. S. G. knowing it, that it would
be the proper time for me to enter the
Napoleonic trance; I was interested
| myself from a scientific point of view
to know just what I would do in a
trance.
Entrance Into Trance.
Mr.. S. G. expressed keen interest in
seeing me in trance. | then took,
under the direction of my sX-faculty a
small hand mirror, which I used for
shaving, in both my hands, and hold
ing it rigidly above my head stared at
my eyes for several moments without
any result. I did not know but what
the experiment was about to prove
abortiye and ridiculous; it was one
of the most daring experiments ever
entered, for that reason. After a min
ute Or two of complete passivity and
rigidity, for the first time in my life

That a guest should leave house sober is
either mark of discourtesy toward the host
a reflection upon the latter for not providing
enough liquor Any attempt TO shirk the bottle
or decanter is a gross breach Of hospitality. An
old custom to prevent a guest from avoiding
his responsibility in this regard was to put
piece of paper into his glass for every round
the bottle had gone during his absence from the
room Upon his return he was expected to
wipe out the score In order to put himself on
equal terms with his companions.
Many curious stories told Of Irish IN
genuity in securing liquor under circumstances
where abstemiousness was supposed 70 pre-
vail A noted lawyer had strange habit of
sucking one end of quill pen that rested in
a large black ink bottle his desk. He was
supposed to be in deep meditation while in this
attitude but his reputation for studiousness
was somewhat shaken when the discovery was
made that the bottle contained brandy instead
of ink.
Another lawyer made a pledge to his wife
that he would partake Of no intoxicating liquor
while engaged in the trial OF case. Soon after
he was retained on an important trial in Dublin.
and the court continued It's deliberations until
such late hour that nearly every one connected
with the case found IL advisable 10 take some
spirits TO stimulate their energies. Although
invited by his colleagues to have something
the lawyer remembered his promise 20 his wife
and refused their repeated urgings Finally.
when he explained his plight to one of his legal
friends the latter said: But you did not
make a vow against eating liquor did you?"
When assured that the pledge applied only TO
drinking the ingenious chum left the court
room and soon returned with a plate OF fresh
rolls The center of each roll had been scraped
out and filed with good whiskey.
WHEN MIKE GETS MARRIED.
The Irish have strict rules pertaining to the
marriage ceremony. On the day OF the wedding
friends of the bridegroom meet al his house
and have a hilarious time at breakfast. Be
fore leaving home the bridegroom must kneel
down and receive the blessings Of his parents.
At this time the mother sprinkles him with
holy water and gives him a small taste
of a candle which has been blessed. in Or

ALASKAN CABLE is BUSY.
Line to Be Duplexed and 200 More
Miles Added.

Few people who have not been over
the ground have any conception Of the
wonderful development of Alaskan in.
terests and trade. For instance, the
commercial receipts from the Alaskan
cable and telegraph lines for the
month of July amounted to $24.GcS.
The rapid increase in the demands
upon the system will be met by the
government by duplexing the cable.
The cable ship Burnside, which Is
to install the duplexing apparatus at
the Alaskan end OF the cable, will
carry about 200 miles Of new cable
for the extension Of the service to
Ketchikan. This extension will be
effected by tapping the lines tom Sit
ka to Juneau at Cape Fanshaw. From
that point q branch line will be ex.
tended down the Wrangel. then to
Hadley on Prince of Wales island, and
then to Ketchikan. which Is only 60
miles from Fort Simpson, the English
town which Is to Le the terminus OF
the Grand Trunk and Pacific railroads.
It is believed that this additional
zoo miles Of cable will largely increase
the cable receipts. as 1t taps coun'
try rich in mines, fishery and canning
industries and greatly In need OF daily
communication with the United
States. It 10 expected that this new
line will be completed BY November l.

ISLE OF PINES NOT
NOW CONSIDERED

Havana, Oct. 1.-THE provisional
government will have nothing to do
with the question OF the sovereignty
of the Isle of Pines nor with the sep.
aration of the government Of the ISL
and from the rest of the Cuban repHp
lie. The executive authority q: the
United States already has declared
that the Isle of Pines belongs to Cuba
and has embodied that affirmation in
a treaty conceding ratification in tina
American senate. The entire matter
being one of the adjudications e tbs
state department, the provisional gov.
eminent, which is wholly under the
war department, will not mix therein.
The mode of government of the Isl.
of Pines as part of the Cuban repub.
lie may be altered or amended, but
the desire of Americans in the Isle OF
Pines for territorial or municipal gov.
eminent as part of the United State,
cannot be conceded by any act on the
part Of the provisional government o:
Cuba or the war department.
The president of the American asso.
citation of the Isle of Pines has not
vet interviewed Governor Taft on this
matter, but the most that is likely to
be gained will be the placing of an
American military officer as temper
airy governor of the isle in lieu OF the
present Cuban mayor with whom the
relations Of the American residents
have not been pleasant.
The American residents of the isle
have adopted unanimously a resolu.
tion generating Secretary OF State
Root and Gen. Leonard Wood from all
blame in connection with the turning
over Of the isle to Cuba and they feei
that this step ought to open the way
70 negotiations for making the isle
American property. They consider
the present condition of affairs oppor.
tune for securing settlement Of the
matter which they believe may hang
fire Indefinitely in the United States
senate.
