Being a newspaper man from Boston. hav-

osity as to genuineness of clairVoyants,
inquired o. the hotel clerk Of a leading

find a first-class medium. I admit ! was
skeptical from the start. A number OF times
in newspaper work had 1 tried mediums and
with no success.
On vacation bent, and hoping to get salts
factory answers TO several questions, plenty
of time in which to investigate, l took the
card handed me and started for the address
which read; Mime. II. Annuye, the World S
Greatest Clairvoyant, Ale West Sixth street,
Opposite Pary "
l found several people waiting appointments
and had to later take my chance for a
sitting. Late in the afternoon / was FORUM
ate enough to have the desired opportunity.
An absolute stranger, not knowing a soul
in the city, Nine. Annuve at once convinced
me with her clear-cut truths and remarkable
revelations that she is an adept in her pro-
fession This wonderful trance medium gave
names of departed friends, their former places
of residence. and facts pertaining thereto
which were absolutely unknown to any other
than myself in the city.
Several times / tried TO test her by mixing
questions an, leading her on the wrong track
by suggesting wrong answers. / aston
ished by her emphatic disclosures of past
affairs,
Tells of Old Days
She told of tines and scenes years distant,
and also gave vivid predictions for the near
future. One cannot fail to be impressed with
her earnestness. All information given you
is wholly unknown TO herself.
My hours sitting went all too swiftly.
When l came away felt as though had Wis
tied another world, and the good advice given
about business affairs was worth a hundred
fold more than the fee which 1 had paid
Mime. Annuvq.
Among her best customers can be counted
many prominent bankers, miners, investors
and well known real estate dealers of this
city.
Nine. Annuve can be found at her apart

DOLL a.oeo YEARS OLD.
Exhibited in Collection From All
Parts of the World

New York, March 27.-The Pen
and Brush club entertained a large
gathering of foreigners, ranging in
age from a few years to 1000. They
were a collection of dolls belonging
to Mrs. Laura B. Starr, who illus
trated with them a talk on 1.-THE Cos
tunes and Customs of the World"
The most beautiful doll was old
and valuable, made to represent the
Virgin and had been used in Christ
mas celebrations many years ago in
Italy and the ugliest was a funny lit
tie doll from the regions of the Nile
a fiat little thing pinned to a card, a
rag and a bamboo stick beneath it
and long streamers of hair falling
from a place where the head should
have been.
The oldest doll had played with
the little Pharaohs and had been
buried with them 1000 years ago;
middle-age dolls We're 5000 years
old, mimic kings and queens of In
dia dressed in royal silver robes and
a very young doll, indeed, was loot
from the royal palace of Pekin, 200
years old.
The Empress Eugene doll was
dressed III the style of her period
and loaned by woman who ad-
mitted having played with her As
years before

ATTACK THE LAW.
Railroads Claim That Twenty-eight
Hour Statute Is Illegal.

The government has made its
answer TO the demurrer entered by
the Santa Fe and st. Louis & San
Francisco Railroad companies who
are attacking the constitutionahty of
the twenty-eight hour shipping law
which provides that cattle must be
unloaded for feed and water while
in transit at least once out of every
twenty-eight hours. Both roads have
been sued by the government for
violations of the law. The suits con-
tain a large number of counts, each
one citing violations which are pun
ishalbIe with a maximum fine of $500
on each count.
The demurrer filed contends that
the law was unconstitutional because
congress had amen led the act to in
tory into a state or a state to a terri
tory into a state or a state in a terri
tory, the act simply providing for
shipments between states previously.
1t was claimed that this amendment
rendered the whole act unconstftu-
tional because the federal constitution
specifically provided that congress
might regulate commerce between
states but nowhere granted congress
the power to regulate commerce be-
tween a state and a territory. AS
many of the suits pending originated
in Oklahoma and Indian territory be-
lore lISy were a SLdlSp II
would result in invalidating many of
the suits should the contention of the
railroads be established.
A brief Governing the governments
answer has been filed in the United
States circuit court by Judge J. S.
West. assistant United States district
attorney. The brief was written by
George P. McCabe, solicitor to the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton. and also H. J. Bone. United
States district attorney and ]. S.
West. assistant. The brief contends
that it was the manifest intention of
the drawers of the constitution to
provide that congress should have
jurisdiction over commerce between
states and territories as well as in
terstate. that this has been the as
sumption in the past and upon which
the decisions of many courts have
been based. The indications are that
Judge John c. Pollock, before whom
the matter now rests, will not sustain
. the demurrer. The question was first
AEaised by the ST. Louis & San Fran
cisco railroad law department and the
Santa Fe railroad attorneys followed
with a similar pleading
The other railroads against whom
suits have been pending of similar
character are not making any fight,
but are interestedly watching the out
come of the question raised. The
Rock Island pleaded guilty last year
to several counts of violations of the
law and were assessed to pay a fine
of $3.50 on each count.
