The above card was handed to
the Leader on the eve OF Mr.. Byrne's
departure from Bluefeld. This Is
only another Illustration of the
methods resorted to by the ringstera
of this city not only to muzzle the
reedom of the press, but they
would also stop public utterance and
he expression OF opinions in our
midst, even from strangers. People
Of Blueheld, can you realize the sit
ation? Has il come to this, that
Eese political tricksters would deny
no right OF free speech in the city
# Bluefeld? is this not despotism2
Does this not prove what we have
peen saying 10 our people? Would

les away if they had the power.
nc not allow public sentiment to
Xist in your midst? They would be
ONE sole rulers and dictators with

peak. Did you ever hear Of such
iespotism in free America? Has
}luefeld come to this under ring
rule? But this is not al. they are
actually attempting TO sUde public
itterances of our own people right

PRgF GaLVANL THE HYPNQTST. An THE GRAND T0NIGHT

Prof. Galvani, the hypnotist. con-
WINGED the most skeptical at a won
derful performance at the Grand
opera house last night, and the visit
of this noted man of the Black Art
to Clarksburg is the sensation OF the
week.
AS previously stated Prof. Gal
vani put man to sleep in the
Grove drug store window Tuesday
night at 8 o'clock, and the latter lay
there under the hypnotic spell until
he was removed to the Grand opera
house stage last night. where at 3
O'Clock after a committee of prom
inent physicians and others had exz
amined the slumbering subject, Prof.
Galvani brought back to life this
man apparently sleeping the sleep
of death. A few strokes by his
magic hand and few words spoken
by Prof. Galvani and the man rose
from the dead and walked This
demonstration OF his hypnotic power
was received with a mighty demon
stration from his large audience.
Following this u committee Of
four selected by the audience was
called to the stage. Prof. Galvani
had no hand in the selection of the
committee, e<cept to entreat men
named by the audience 10 go on the
stage, assuring them that he would
do them no harm.

The hypnotized man did not feel the
weight of the stone and came out
OF the performance unframed and
apparently did not know what ordeal
he had gone through. The auditors
were astounded at the success of this
perilous act and the skeptieal could
no longer doubt.
A feature of the visit of Prof
Galvani here was his wild drive
Wednesday afternoon blindfoldei.
He with committee of citizens who
had hidden three articles in as
many different places dashed
through the streets with an excited
crowd following. and he triumphant
~ returned from the drive with all
the articles found. The committee
in no way aided him in the search.
nor did they intimate to him where
the articles were hidden. PERSONAL
ly observing this feat by Prof. Cal
vani. the committee maryels at his
power to look into the unknown and
unhesitatingly declared to a large
and eager assemblage that 1T was
real and that Prof Galyant had
made good.
Tonight the performance by Prof.
Galvani at the opera house promises
to be even much more sensational
than last night and 1T is believed the
largest crowd that ever went to the
Grand will be there tonight.

This committee blind-folded the

then secured stick pin from a lady
in the audience and stuck it in the
wall without the knowledge of Prof
Galvani. He blind-folded then went
into the auditorium, found the sticK
pin and returned it to its owner. In
addition to this two of this com
mittee took a hammer and nail
placed them on the stage floorS
marked point with lead pencil
for the nail to be driven into the
floor. Blind-S~1ed Prof. Galvani
found the hammer, the marked
place and drove the nail there ac-
curately. A wild demonstration fol-
lowed
After this more than dozen
young men voluntarily went upon
the stage and were put through a
number OF hypnotic acts, some Of
which caused them to indulge in
very amusing feats and for an hour
the house simply roared with laugh
ter.
The climax was reached, when one
young man was made perfectly rigid
under the hypnotic power and was
stretched between two chairs. with
his head on one and his feet on the
other. A large and heavy stone was
then placed on his chest and abdo-

heavy sledge hammer struck it sew

Mayor Weaver's Secretary.

A precedent in the history of Phil
adelphia has been created by Mayor
Weaver in appointing Miss Margaret
Forderer to be his private secretary
at salary Of $4,000 year. Miss For
derer had been Mr.. Weavers stenog-
rapher for six years, and her familiar
ity with the work of his office led to
her appointment upon the resignation
of George A. Welsh, who gave up the
secretaryship to become assistant dis
trict attorney.
Although Miss Forderer has held
her present position for only few
days, she has already, it is said,
proved her entire fitness for 1t. She
knows just how to soothe the ruffied
feelings of the fuming, fretting citi-
zens who have to await their turn to
see the chief executive and how to
tighten their regret if they fail to see
him.
You see," she said, in an inter-
view, Il feel quite familiar with my
new duties because l have known Mr.
Weaver so long and have been in the
Office here since the beginning of his
administration. / know pretty nearly
everybody here, and I can tell in

mitted to see the mayor and others
who could come just as well some
other day. So many who call really

can readily direct them properly. |
appreciate the responsibilities of the
position, and I shall try to fill it ac-
ceptably to the mayor and to all 9TH
ers.'
Miss Forderer is said to be only
% years old. She is an attractive
young woman, with golden brown
hair and gray eyes, and on her first
day in Office she wore blue broad
cloth skirt with short sleeved white
shirtwaist.

Woman Jury Quits.

Christiania newspapers are much
excited over the recent strike OF
three women Jurors, for in Norway,
1t seems, women are admitted to all
most all public offices. At the begln-N

women surprised the presiding judge
with the declaration that under no cir /,

cases on the calendar was one calcu-
lated to offend their modesty. After
comforting with the public prosecutor
the Judge adjourned the session and
ordered that the three vacant seats bel
filed by men. The daily press has
severely criticised this method Of
settlement, on the ground that the
judge had no right to exempt from
duty regularly elected members ofu
the jury because of any such reasons
as those alleged, and 1t Is further mott
ed that at the time the question of adj
mltting women to the Judiciary arose
the leaders of the woman movement
laid particular stress on the advan-
tage to the female judge or Juror OF
her feminine delicaey in moral ques-
tions. The organs of femininism do not
admit the sourdness Of this reasoning.
They say that the sensational strike
of the three jury women was due sole

their male colleagues, and that, In

men and filled their places with wom-

should have declared themselves inl( !

a court composed exclusively Of wom-

Two Sides Of the Case.

When | urge our women readers to
acquaint themselves with the ques-
tions of the day in governmental as
well as in other affairs, appeal as a
last resource to their self-interest-
that 1t would be to their personal ad-
vantage to read, mark, learn and in
wardly digest the news of the times
and form and express opinions there
on. And then | point to the selfish
ness of people in general and appeal
against it.
No selfish life, no thoughtless life,
no idle life can be honest. All those
who are making no return to the coun-
try for the benefits received-protec-

Fashion Notes,

Black and white is as charming
combination for winter as for sum-
mer wear.
Dressy bodces are made almost in
variably with very full elbow or three
quarter sleeves.
The chemisette is now a necessary
part of the hand-embroidered set OF
accessories for the colored waist.
The fluffy arrangement of the hair
about the brow now in vogue is much
prettier than the stiff high pompa-
dour of few seasons ago.
Most delightful combinations for
long coats for daytime wear are those
of dark cloth, green, blue or brown,
with Innings of soft, dark fur.
The novelty above all others mod
ish, are the ribbon bands for wear
about the top Of the collar, studded In
rhinestone designs, set in silver.
Groups of embroidered grapes,
leaves and tendrils, highly convention
allied, form the heading for a deep
graduated flounce upon dainty gown
A narrow graduated ruffle attached
to the bodice at the line made by the
edge of the square chemisettes is a
new note on some of the late bodices.
Slender girls welcome the dainty
plisse bodices, for they are extremely
becoming and develop beautifully in
the soft thin materials now so much
in vogue.
Nothing more charming can be
imagined for the decoration of,a sup
pie cloth gown than an arrangement
Of spangles or paillettes above a vel
vet hem.
Turbans trimmed so lavishly with
ribbon as to appear like animated
plaid bows when a side view of the
wearer's head is obtained, are among
the most stylish as well as apDroprf
ate hats for tailored costumes.
