MYSTERY OF LOST MEMORY.
Not an Uncommon Occurrence for
Persons to Forget Names.

Persons to Forget Names.
A young Partisan actress who had for
weeks held the title role in a popular
play, recently. 1t is said, was while on
the stage, suddenly afflicted with for
getfulness and was utterly unable to
repeat the lines Of the last act. though
she had successfully passed through the
three preceding ones, says the Indian
apolis Star.
1t is not an uncommon happening
with stage people. lecturers and others,
and seems more likely to occur when
the matter memorized has been so often
repeated that forgetfulness would ap-
pear impossible while intelligence re
manned.
The same thing happens in a less
marked and conspicuous way to great
number of people, its most common
manifestation being forgetfulness of
proper names. \ name ordinarily IA
milar and just about to be spoken will
vanish from the mind at the instant
and be to the one about to utter it as
If It had never been. His consciousness
grasps at it in vain. and, as 1t were,
beats against blank wall. 1t is nj
ways disagreeable experience, this
momentary failure Of the memory, and
sometimes extremely embarrassing.

KILLS WITH AN IRON.
Confession of Actor Who Murdered Wife
in Boston Discredited by the
Police.

BOSTON. Mass. Sept. THE belief
expressed by the medical examiners after
their autopsy on the dismcmbcrcd body
of Mrs. Honorah Jordan. yesterday. that
she was struck upon the head with some
blunt instrument before being cut by
her husband, Chester :. Jordan, has been
apparently eorroborntcd with the finding

of hatiron, which was covered with
blood and to which chung quantity of
hair. The finding of the blood-covcred
ilatiron tends to discredit portion of
the confession of Jordan, who stated
that the only blows which he dealt his
wife after her taunt, were 10y his fist,
and following which he remembers moth
ing. This discrepancy has led the police
to believe that other portions of his story
may be eunnllY MrOng.

about to greet an old acquaintance, or
when 1t IS desirable to introduce two
men, each OF whom he knows well.
Doctors do not clearly explain this
occasional defect in the mental powers,
but those who experience 1t know that
1t occurs when they are especially
weary or overworked, and they may
therefore assume that it is a form of
brain flag and rs readily accounted for
as a lameness of arms or legs. That
1t Is most often displayed in connection
with proper names is perhaps due to
the fact that these are each held In the
memory by separate and arbitrary &c.
ton and not through association, and
are therefore most easily lost. But
whatever the cause, the multitude of
persons who forget names will have a
sympathetic comprehension of the state
Of mind OF the French actress when she
hclpessly sought to find the words Of
her play.

Joke on Yoakum.

A very humorous incident Of a few
days ago has been the cause OF much
merrment among the friends of Col Il.
+. Yoakum. the railroad man who was
much in public print few days ago by
reason of Il speech he made here.
After the speech had been published
Mr. loakum received telegram from
very warm friend, the Hon. T.. NJ.
House of Austin, one of the diStn-
gushcd citizens of the state, and the
man who financed the building Of the
Trinity X Brazos Valley railroad. The
telegram read:
Texas is Justly tired of you
Mr.. loakum could not understand
why such remark should come from
Mr.. House aud, If intended, why il was
necessary 20 telegraph it, An iuveStiga-
ton started, aud il develops that the
telegram was written:
Texas is justly proud Of you
The only explanation is that the tele-

there Is no similarity between the dots
and dasheS which form the word

CONTEST M'C0RDY WILL
Son and Three Grandsons Allege That
Michigan Man Was Mentally
Incompetent.

CORUNNA, Mich, Sept. 5.-The last
will and testament of the late Hugh
McCurdy, the grand old man of Ma
sonry." is to be contested.
Objections to the probating of the in
strument have been filed in the probate
court by the son. Attorney John II. Nc.
Curdy of this city and three grandsons,
Edward Marshall of Detroit, Hugh Me-
Curdy Eaton of Akron. O., and Clifford
III. McCurdy of San Francisco.
Under the provisions of the will the
yrandsons were to receive legacieS of
500 each and the son even less than
that sum. The widow was bequeathed
an annuity of $500, while the residue To
the estate was left in trust to the Ma
sonic grand lodge of Michigan, the in
come to be used for the maintenance of
the Masonic home at Grand Rapids
The contestants aver that they will
show that the testator made about seven
wills in the last ten years and several
in the last two or three years and that
he made two codicils To the will during
the year preceding his death They will
contend this fact coupled with the small
annuity left the widow tends to show
that the testator's mind was not sound
and that he was incompetent 10 make a
will.

eighteen or twenty miles to the top the
climb is comparatively easy. 1t follows
stream Of clear, pure cold water
which comes tumbling down a narrow
canyon on the western side, and Major
Powell during his first memorable ex-

a grateful discovery.
People are beginning to find their
way to the Grand Canyon. Last year,
which was the first since the railroad
was opened, about $4,000 people came

up. there will be from 10000 to $4,000
visitors, and every one who comes goes
home a walking advertisement for the
place. There Is nothing to compare
with it anywhere in the world. 1t is
impossible to eXaggerate the grandeur
the sublimity, the impressiveness Of the
scenery; and its fascination cannot be
accurately described 1t Is impossible
for one man to express his emotions tc
another
1t Is singular fact that three
fourths Of the people who come to the
canyon are women. A large number
Of them are well along in years, ant
the endurance and the nerve they show
Is extraordinary. Nearly every woman
who comes insists upon going down t
the bottom Of the canyon. while only
half of the men show that amount Of
energy.

were stories Of great catracts, from
which the roaring music Of the waters

The timber is in fairly good condition.
There was a bad fire two years ago

its recurrence because Of the vigilance
