he made dash for the switch. Some great
force seemed to grip him by the hands, he
was powerlesS to move; he heard what
seemed to him to be the swing and jolt of
machinery. Somebody was laughing much
as If funny play was being performed
before delighted eyes, with Bennington for
the third man of the company, and then
the light came up again.
Angry and baIned and disappointed as
Bennington was, all these feelings gave way
to amazement as he looked around the
ROOM Every sign of a body had diSa p
peared, the room was empty save for Sar-
toris, who sat smoking a cigarette, with a
sardonic smile on his face. All the others
had gone. and the body was gone from the
table; the latter was a dark crimson
cloth surmounted by a mass oil flowers ar
ranged tastefully around electric stand.
Sartoris laughed In an easy. hooking way.
Miracles whist you wait" he said. Il
just press a button and there you are. You
say that you saw a lot of people here and
some object on the table. You would swear
to that?"
Being in full possession o. my faculties.
l would Bennington said grimly.
And where are they? There was no
lady. there were no people, only my humble,
sweet self always glad to see my distin-
guished friend Col. Bennington
Bennington made no reply for moment.
1t seemed hopeless to try to cope with the
little fend who appeared to have all the
powers of hell behind him. He looked
down at the floor as II to find evidence or
magic there, but the pattern of the turkey
carpet was intact, the big ass-headed
nails were in the corners and along the
fireplace.
There are more things in heaven and
earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your
philosophy, p" Sartoris quoted. LAS a rule
your soldier is a dull man and not gifted
with much imagination And so you have
taken this matter up on the principle that
satan finds some mischief still for idle

to quote tonight. But on the whole you
are not what the world calls bad fellow.
On the contrary, l am. And that being the
case, and as I am not supposed to be in
the least scrupulous in my methods, it
stands to reason that I am likely to get the
better of you. Now you are a man of
honor, and if You give your word 1t is as
good your bond. Give me your word
that not one suggestion of what has taken
place here tonight shall be spoken, and you
are free to co.

you were not cripple / would give you the
most perfect specimen of a thrashing that
you ever had in your life. My word will
be passed to worthier stuff than YOU

MUTUAL VOTES OPENED.
Many Insurance Ballots Recorded,
but DELAYS Are Ahead.

NEW YORK, January Bon the publica-
ton of reports yesterday that the New
York Life election inspectors were In open
conflict among themselves, and had not
counted a vote in the actual canvass, the
election inspectors in the Mutual Life got
busy, and before the day was over Will
liam n. Wooten, challenger-in-chief for the
company. announced that the inspectors
had opened and recorded about 35, 600 bal
lots and would have 5000 recorded before
tomorrow night.
This recording is a process preliminary
to the tallying of the votes When that
begins the whole vote has to be handled
over again, and it is then that the real de-
lays will begin to come in as various chaI-
lenges are made on both sides.
Today the attorneys for the two sides
in the Mutual will argue before the inspec-
tors the general classes of challenges that
are to he made. After the inspectors shall
have passed on these and other protests il
will be possible to take the matter into
court for final determination. Mean
while the actual count and tally can go
on subject to the challenge of such indi-
vidual ballots as may be protested
In the New York Life yesterday the big
force of clerks began to count through the
entire vote by stamping serial numbers on
the envelopes in which the ballots lie with
out opening them, and upon proxies.

JOHNS HOPKINS LIBRARY.
Presentation of Two Celebrated Medi-
cal Collections.

BALTIMORE, January "A public meet
ing was held last night at the physiological
building of the Johns Hopkins Medical
School for the formal presentation and ac-
ceptance of two noteworthy collections Of
medical works, the generous donations to
the library of that institution of two WELL
known Baltimoreans The donors are
Messrs. William A. Marburg and Francis
NJ. Jencks.
Many representative persons of this city
were in the audience. Most of the able SCI
entists and medical men whose work has
made this school one of the greatest in this
country, if not in the entire world, were
present. The dominating note of the meet
ing that the two collections would
prove to be the stepping stone to one of the
largest and best medical Libraries in the
world.
AS was to have been expect the medi-
cal profession was well represented and
number of students of the medical school
were present. There was a goodly sprink King
of fashionably dressed ladies, and they
seemed to follow the discourses of tho
speakers with the same interest a.. their
escorts.
The Marburg collection is the old War
rington Dispensary Library of Liverpool,
which only recently placed upon me
market, and is particularly valuable in the
light il sheds upon lie history of medicine.
The majority of them were published in
the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, and they cover a wide range Of
subjects. They are in many languages, in
GLIDING Arabic, Greek, Latin, English,
French, German and Italian. The library
consists OIL about /, 300 items embraced in
944 works.
The Jencks collection consists of 936 vol
umes and is the Friedrich Ahlfelb library.
of Marburg, Germany. 1t is of particular
value in that it is a specialized library,
consisting of discursive writings and mono
graphs upon single subject-''monsters."
A letter was read from Mr.. Jencks. who
is at present in New York. in which the
writer expressed his keen regret at being
unable to be present at the meeting. Both
he and Mr.. Marburg were warmly thanked
by the president and trustees for their
munificent gifts.
Dr. Ira Remsen, president of the Johns
Hopkins University, presided at the meet
ing and addresses were made by DR.. VIII
liam Oser, now regius professor of medi-
cine at the University of oxford, England.
and by DIR. William H. WEIGH.
Those who occupied seats upon the plat
form, from left to right, were: Judge Har-
lan president of the trustees: Mr.. Bianch-
ard Randall, DIR. VIM. H. WEIGH, Mr.. VIM.
A. Marburg, President Ira Remsen, DIR.

HUGHES SUITS HEARST
MESSAGE SATISFACTORY TO THE
INDEPENDENCE LEAGUE.
Leaguers Say They Have Forced Ac-
ceptance of Many of Their
Principles.

NEW YORK, January "A large bunch
of Independence League district leaders
who are faithful to Hearst assembled at the
Gilsey House yesterday afternoon, Justice
John Ford presiding. Judge Ford said he
did not see why a great movement such as
that of the Independence League, based as
it was on the highest and purest principles
should not have the active support of an in
dividual elevated to the supreme court
bench. He deplored the fact that custom
seems to debar the judiciary from taking
any part in political movements which tend
to the betterment of the race and the i'm
provement of governmental conditions. Mr..
Hearst himself entered the room and was
greeted with applause He made a speech
in which he said:

League Ideas Accepted.

II think the league has accomplished more
for the people of this state in its brief ca
reer than any party has done for many
years. In the first place in this campaign
the league succeeded in securing the NOM
nation and election of a number Of able
and honest and conscientious men who
could never have been elected, and who
certainly never would have been nominated
sbut for the activity and determination OF
the league
I'm the second place, the league has Sc
cured the general acceptance of many of its
cardinal principles and the promotion of
those principles by the elected officials OF
Take for illustration and example, the
message which Gov. Hughes has addressed
to the legislature today In that MESA ge
Mr.. Hughes demands legislative action to
compel a recount of the votes cast in the
last mayoralty election. No such demand
was expressed in the republican platform
on which Mr.. Hughes ran, no such demand
was expressed in Mr.. Hughes speeches, no
such demand was expressed IN the demo-
cratic platform, but that demand can be
found very forcibly expressed in the plat
form of the Independence League.
Direct Nominations.
Mr.. Hughes urges a measure providing
for direct nominations. No such recon-
mendation can be found in the republican
platform or in the democratic platform or
in Mr.. Hughes speeches, but that recon-
mendation was very clearly set forth in the
platform of the independence League.
Mr.. Hughes urges the abolition of the
railroad commission and the rapid transit
commission, although when this was advo-
Gated during the campaign by the candi-
dates Of the Independence League Mr..
Hughes declared then that such matters
should only be acted upon after the fullest
and most careful investigation, and yet, on
the second day of his official term. without
any special investigation, he urges the aho-
liton of these commissions-and very prop
erly, too-for the character of these commits
sions is already perfectly understood. not
only by public officials, but by the public
at large"
