other day. says the New York Times.
The writer was q man in Ohio, who
istered mail
His proposition is to change places
with the prisoner for 100000, to be
placed in the hands of an intermedi-
airy, he to run the risk of the death
chair Or Matteawan. The letter was
accompanied by photographs showing
q likeness between the writer and the
prisoner. The letter is sanely written
and goes into minute details of the
proposed escape. The double it is
proposed, is to visit Thaw wearing Il
wig and a disguise that caH be easily
changed from one to the other The
writer says that he is not making the
proposition to kill time, as he is
married man and has a family, but
has been a failure in life. The COM
munication was turned over to her
husbands counsel by Mrs. Thaw.
One of the proposals made is that
from a Staten Island hypnotist, who
offers for q sum of money to put
quietus on District Attorney Jerome
and ruin his summing up by telepathy
Another is from a yentrilOquist who
for fee will sit in the courtroom and
when the foreman opens his mouth to
pronounce the verdict of the jury will
throw his voice in his direction and
pronounce Thaw not guilty. He guar
antees that this will at least result in
a miStrial.
Cranks anxious to marry Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw if her husband goes to the
electric chair or to the madhouse have
put in 122 applications so far.

He stood beside the coming tower.

And sternly gripped, with show of power
The scalpel in his hand.
Upon distant smoky blur
The lookout's optics lighted,
And in trice he shouted. "Sir,
The enemy are sighted"
The doctor. glancing DER the sea,
The epson salt berated.
Don't let them get too near" cried he,
Till we've been vacctnated!''
His chief of staff, with flashing lance
And odor of carbolic,
At once exclaimed, We'll take chance
In either fight or frolic!
They're coming down, our hated foes,
Tis tine for consultation.
What remedy would you propose?'
He asked, then took his station
The doctor clinched and shook his fist,
We'll use our vaccine quilts.
And when that's DONE" he grimly Kissed,
We'll give EN- iron pills.
In half an hour the hostile fleet,
Which needed change Of air,
Had beat a swift and safe retreat

I'D like to charge the foe-his debt.
But such a call-what is it?
IT'S not Office call. and yet

THE HINDoo FAKIR.
His Patience and Skill In the Bag and
Spear Trick.

His Patience and Skill In the Bag and
Spear Trick.
The feat known as the bag and spear
trick has been considered one Of the
greatest Of the Hindoo magician's art.
In this trick, says a writer, the Hindoo
fakir has his assistant get into a sack,
the mouth Of which he firmly secures,
and then unceremoniously hurls his
helpless victim to the ground. With
J out sign Of warning the fakir drives
his spear through the center of the
bag.
After withdrawing his weapon, upon
the point of which no blood stain APP
pears, the fakir stands and gazes
dreamily over the heads Of the specta-
tors. The body within the bag fioun-
ders about as If in mortal agony. At
last, when the occupant is apparently
dead, the fakir again plunges his spear
into the motionless body. The same
antics are repeated. Then the fakir
releases his attendant from the bag,
and he steps out without a scratch
upon his body.
Although the trick is performed with
all the carelessness imaginable, II calls
for more patience, skill and exactness
than any Of the so called black art
achievements. From the time the at
tendant enters the bag both fakir and
assistant count every breath they take.
When a stated number of breaths have
been taken the fakir makes his thrust,
and the occupant in the bag is pre-
pared to avoid It. Then the count be-
gins again, and at the proper time the
spear is driven through the bag q
second time. In order to evade the
spear and make 1t appear to pass
through his body the assistant doubles
up in as small form as possible His
legs are drawn up close, with the chin
resting upon the knees and the arms
folded round the lower limbs across
the shins. When in this position, at
the fiftieth breath, the spear passes
under the attendants arms between
the abdomen and the thighs.
The slightest miscalculation by either
the fahir or his assistant would mean
serious II not a mortal wound for
one and an unheard OF disgrace for the
other.
That fakir and attendant are able 90
to train themselves to breathe in per.
feet unison while giving one Of these
performances, when the slightest varia.
tion in time by either would be fatal
is certainly wonderful.

NO DECISION Yet
FROM DIR. KINSMAN
Departs For Maine, and Will
Say in a Few Days Whether
he Will Accept BiShOpriC

Professor Frederick Kinsman. bishop
elect Of the Episcopal Diocese of Della
ware, after having made thorough sur
yoy OF the affairs OF the diocese during
the three days he had been in Delaware.
brought his visit TO a close last night at
o'clock. when he left for Maine, where he
is staying. He ofhciated at the 4sO o'clock
service in Trinity Church yesterday af-
ternoon.
No allusion was made by Professor
Kinsman at the service as to whether he
would accept his election as bishop, and
after the service he said that he had not
yer decided whether he would accept but
would send word to the Rev. f. M. Kir-
kus, chairman of the committee appoint
ed to notify him Of his election within a
few days. Professor Kinsman left on the
Federal Express on the p, b. and w.
railroad for Boston. from where he pro-
ceeded to Maine
Tho large auditorium of Trinity Church
was filled at the service in the afternoon.
Professor Kinsman took his text from St.
.Fotn, third chapter and the eighth to the
twelfth verses. The sense Of the nearness
10 God, the sense of the celestial was
emphasized as having made the strength
OF the heroes Of the church and It was
this faculty Of faith rather than Of sight
that would uplift humanity. He said in
part:
Sense of Gods Presence.
The beginning and end of all things
are just as mysterious as they were in
the days Of our forefathers. 1t is only the
various stages of development that are
better understood in our days. AS practical
rlen we must take account of the things
that lie beyond. God never asks that YOU
believe anything that is not subject to
some kind of practical test, and there are
many things that we have to test not BY
the faculty of sight but by the facults
Of faith. You look over the roll Of the
heroes of the church and you will find tnat
