is THERE SUCH A THING AS
INSANITY?

Anglo Saxons are so prone to
take common sense views of things
that they seloom realize the full
force of the familiar saying that
all men have some form of madness

in recent Lancet paper, that. per-

scientific point of view impossible.
For perfectly sane person, were
such thing thinkable, would be

upon us. is that there can be no

they carry long spear with red tas-
les near the point and short stick
which has heavy brass ball on the
end and is attached to the policeman's
belt by cord some go feet long. They
throw the ball and stick and the cord
winds around the prisoner like a

In this twentieth century science
has made rapid progress in treating
with diseases in every form. Re
search and study have brought to
light many remedies that are inyal-
liable to suffering humanity, but
without doubt the greatest and grand
est discovery known In the annals of
medical science for the amelioration
OF chronic iseases. centers upon nu-
man magnetism as the one great
healing power whose potency is un-
questioned ani unrivaled.
The citizens of Marion Ind vicinity
have had an ocular demonstration of
this most subtle power the past two
weeks and an opportunity to judge
Tor themselves by personal observa-
Itions and interviews with many of
Jour prominent citizens who have been
cured, relative to the permanency and
good effects as result of their
|
at the theatre and at his private Of
Ifice at the Majestic Hotel.
Never before In the history or
Marion has one man created such
a sensation or been the object OF
such widespread comment and univer-
sal praise as have been accorded this
youthful healer during She past few
days. But II i5 as It should be, and
only goes TO prove that our citizens
are fully competent to discriminate
between the good and the bad.
Not only are the city people inter-
ested in this grand humanitarian work
but hunreds from the country and
adjoining towns have attended each
exhibition, in consequence Of which
Surrounding country has been worked
up to high pitch Of excitement be-
cause of the many astonishing cures
that have besH accomplished both in
public on the open stage and at his
private office, thus proving beyond
doubt that he is certainly the great
est naturally endowed magnetist this
country has ey er seen.
Cures have heen performed many
we'll known citizens that rival those
iof ancient time~-so remarkable in
fact, that the medical world stands
aghast in utter surprise and be-
wilderment, while the press and
the pulpit eulogi2es this humanltar-
ian work In the most enthusiastic
and unquestionable manner.
The Boy Phenomenon stands alone
on his merits ord wishes to be judg-
ed by the work he performs and
points with pride and satisfaction to
the score or more of we'll known
citizens whom he has cured OF var
ious complaints.
When sick Is the time we need
ghe best advice and treatment;
therefore, we say, inform yourselves
you who are sick; visit the reception
parlors any day and witness with
your own eyes the healing OF your
own friends; go to tr2ir homes, talk
with them and then act as your best
Judgment dictates.
This is your opportunity to be
cured. You may never have such
another chance. No matter what
your condition, how long you have
been sick or how long you have
tried, no matter what your doubts
may be- If curable at all, there Is
hope TO those who will take the
trouble to investigate.
Those wishing private treatment or
consultation may call at the Majestic
hotel, where private apartments and
offices have heen secured for the ac-
commodation of those who wish con-
sultation, office hours daily. except

The trial of Peter Fitzgerald, the
man who was indicted on the charge
of placing @n obstruction on the
street ear track, began in the court
of common pleas this morning with
John DeGolley as attorney for the
prisoner.
1t is likely that an effort will be
made to show that Fitzgerald is in
sane. AT the beginning of the trial
the attorney for the defense asked
that u recess be granted in order
that Fitzgerald might be exam
ned. Judge Young granted the re-
quest and Fitzgerald was taken into
the jury room, where he was ex-
amined by Dr. II. Chisholm, DR..
F. Young and DIR. S.H. Britton.
The doctors made no formal report
TO the court and the trial was re-
sumed.
II is charged that Fitzgerald,
about S:15 on the II light of April
II, placed two bricks and a piece
cf timber on the North State street
track. The motorman saw the OBJ
stiuct,bns and prevented u wreck.
Fitzgerald Is an eccentric recluse

Madam Mehrtens Recital

The recital of this celebrated pianist
at the court house under the auspices
of the U D C on Wednesday evening
far surpassed anything of the kind
ever given in the history of Tupelo.~T
say that she is an artist but mildly ex-
presses it. Her playing is simply mar
velous. Her technique is complete,
and her fingers glide oyer the key
board from the greatest delicacy of
touch to the most overwhelming power
of intensity. She held her audience
spell bound, ard so realistic was her
playing that one could fancy the twit-
tering of the birds in the forest trees,
the ripping stream vending it's way
through the grassy lea, by the delicacy
of her touch, gradually arising to the
most intensely Grammatical power. Her
interpretations of her composers are
wonderful in the extreme, being per-
fectly at ease and natural.
She was assisted by our talented vo-
calist, Miss Marion Clifton, whose APP
pearance before an audience is always
hailed with delight and whom all Tupe-
loians are proud to call our own. and
Miss MCKEE of Holly Springs, sister of
Mrs L G Y Baker Her deep, rich
co~ntralto voice captivated her hearers
and she easily won her way to their
hearts
