A union meeting was held in the
First Methodist church Sunday evening
under the auspices of the Anti
tuberculosis Association, other churches
giving up their evening service that all
interested in this great movement
might attend. The church was filed
with attentive listeners who were
amply repaid for their attendance, the
lecture by Prof. Warthin OF the pa
thology department of the University
of Michigan being highly instructive
and interesting, being illustrated
with sterop6con slides which showed
the germ and its effect on the different
organs of the human body. One of the
strongest appeals was to prevent the
spread of the disease by persons suffer
ing from it, Consumption is not heredi-
tary and proper precaution would in a
short time eradicate the disease.
The purposes of the state and local
associations were explained. 1t is hoped
to put visiting nurse in the field who
will explain to families the methods of
caring for afflicted ones and explain
how to prevent new cases. Eventually
it is hoped to have hospital where all
sick persons may be cared for. Mem
bership in the association will cost so

are necessary to pay the expense.
A board of managers to carry on the
work was appointed consisting of Mes

young man was overhauled after a

Reported To Have "Demater-

Alcoholic Flames Without In

BOSTON, Dec. 25.-The marvellous
psychic power of Fred E Foskett, a
young machinist or Orange, Mass, has
attracted the attention of Professor
James, of Harvard, and other leading
members of the Boston oranch of the
American Society of Psychical Re.
search, who gave him tests recently.
The first of the tests was held at
the home of Prescott F. Hall. Profes.
sor William James and several we'll
known physicians were there, and test
as nearly perfect as posi-
BILE were made. Foskett was seated in
the center of a room before a small
table. There he performed every feat
of the Hindu fakir and the Buddhist
adept.
On the table was an ordinary kero-
sene lamp with a chimney and fiat
wick, a pan and several quarts of alco-
hol. According to the reports of those
present, Foskett succeeded in every
test The first test was made with or
binary sulphur matches. Foskett
lighted half a dozen, one after the
other, holding them with one hand so
close TO the fingers Of the other that
the flames curled around them. He
then lighted the lamp and held his
hands above the wick, while the flames
curled over them and the SCOT com
pletely blackened them.

JOE M'CABE
PURCHASES A
FINE STALLION
Secured Senator Tirzah,' Said
To Be the Best BIooded Stall
lion Ever Brought To Co.
Chise County.

Supervisor Joe. McCabe has just rc-
turned from Phoenix, where he spent
about ten days in looking over the
blOOded horses for which the Salt
River is noted. AS a result of his
trip he Aas brought TO Cochise county
what is pronounced by horsemen to
be the finest stallion ever seen in this
section.
Senator Tirzah, the name of the
stallion, is four years old, and was
raised by w N. Tiffany, the well
known raiser of fine horses of Phoe-
nix. The horse has not yet been
shipped, owing to high water in the
Salt river, which prevented him from
being brought TO the train from the
ranch. Senator Tirzah weighs 1850
pounds, and won money at the terri
tcrial fair in the races for one year,
two year and three year Odds.
McCabe, in speaking of his puI-
chase, stated that ne had chosen Sen
Gtcr TirZah with a view to his weight,
lccauSo OF the hilly nature OF The
country about here, and with a view
to speed. He las secured both in the
morse he has chosen, and this, the
first step toward better horses in the
county, is one which may later prove
to be Of great importance to the
county.
The following is an authentic &C
count OF the pedigree Of the Senator:
Senator TirZah was sired by the
champion troIting stallion, Senator L,
2:23 II, who holds the worlds tro,-
ting record for four miles, time 1912.
tTQtting the last milo in 2:2S; he also
has a two mile race record Of
4:46 10. and in the last heat Of this
race he was timed the last mile in
2:15 "a.
The dam of Senator I. carries the
blood of all long distance thorough
breds, Boston, Lexington, Joe Daniels
and others. the dam of Senator Tir-
zah is by the Kentucky bred stallion
Fred Schofeld, register No. 216S1,
who was sired by Onward. 2:25 IL,
the greatest son George Wilkes, 2:22,
he being by the great progenitor of
trotting speed, Hambleton'an 10.
The second dam of Senator Tirzah
was by Tom Sawyer, register No. 1874,
who in turn was by the greatest of ali
brood mare sires, Iambrino Patchen

ton, until he came to the climax.
In this he poured a quart of alco-
hol into the basin, lighted 1t and then
washed his hands, bathing them for
nearly ten minutes in the burning
fluid, washing it up over his arms
and to his face-literally bathing him
self in blazing alcohol.
AS soon as it was finished the ply
sicians present examined Foskett, and
they could not find the slightest trace
of a burn or blister. Foskett told
them that the flames did not give him
the slightest sensation of burning,
that he felt comfortably warm and
pleasant, and nothing more.
The second tests were made at the
home of Professor James, in Cam
bridge, and under the same conditions
as the day before. Considerable mys-
terry is thrown about them. Mr. Hall
said they were so startling that he
did not care to discuss them until
they had been tried again. Another
scientist who was there said that Eos
kett performed all of his experiments
of the day before, and then ''abso-
lutely and positively dematerialized"
He seemed to dissolve into thin air
as we watched him. Was gone forty
one seconds and them materialized. 1t
was so startling that we, am afraid.
lost sight of the test conditions, and
we have asked him to appear before
us again. 1t seems unbelievable, but
it certainly seemed so. We hardly
know what to think of it."
Professor James refuses to talk
about the tests.
According to those who were pres
ent, Foskett seems in passive state
during the tests. and he says he thinks
of nothing in particular. Those who
examined him discredit the hypnotic
theory. They believe ne has some
latent psychic force that never has
been studied.
