Born Under Hvpnosis.

The Pittsfield Journal says that one day last week a son was born to Mr. and Mrs Guy Hemenway of that city while the mother was under hypnotic sleep in- duced by the husband who has gained a considerable reputation as a hypnotist. Mrs. Hemenway was placed under hyp- notic suggestion at 12:l5 o'clock a. m. Dr. Fred A. Roberts, the family physi- clan being present. The boy, weighing betw cen seven and eight pounds, was born st 12:50 o'clock and as alivsly little youngster. The operation proved to be perfect success and it was probably the first time in Pittsfeld that a child was born under such circumstances. The operation excited considerable in- terest among the medical fraternity and it was clearly proven by it that hypnosis can successfully, be used in surgical operations.

 Today there will be dedicated oa the green in the little village of New Marl- boro suitable monument or memorial to the memory of Elihu Burritt, who, while working at his forge not many rods distant from where his monument stands germinated the ideas that later made him power for considerable good and undoubtedly the real father of the Universal Peace" movement which has grown to be what he himself named it, the Permanent International Tribunal. :"
 While a native of Connecticut it has remained for tho town of Burritt's young manhood-largely through the energy of County Commissioner Sisson, himself a new Marlboro man to permanently and for the first time mark a spot In honor of h @ illustrious blacksmith whose fame is now universal. Connec- ticut lost an opportunity in not being the first to honor its illustrious son and it is gratifying that Berkshire has been less careless in setting up another of the milestones in our history - a history which is largely in the past, because the process of founding our institutions was largely done in the days previous to the introduction of alien blood into our affairs

crowd yelled to Stuart to return to second and Ellis to first and stood speech less with astonishment when the umpire O'Donnell of Mlllerton, declared the ball fair. The majority of the spectators gave utterance to their disapproval and disgust in no uncertain terms and during the balance of the game O'Donneu was criticised in a manner not particularly pleasing. Although manager Roraback of the Canaan team, as we'll as some of the Canaan players, called O'Donnell's s attention to the fact that the ball struck outside the foul line and, further, in view of the fact that some of the spec tators who stood near the spot and saw the ball strike the ground supported the claims of the Canaanites, O'Donnell de- clined to reverse his decision.
 It was another unsatisfactory result of what up to that time promised to be Q close and exciting game. Naturally this decision disheartened the Canaan team and two more runs were scored be- fore R. Stanton put Wilson, the third man, out at first.
 First Wilson's hit fell few feet in front of the plate and he beat the throw to first, Turner flew to F. Stanton, Bar mum hit to left scoring Wilson, Stuart famed, Barnum went from first to third on low throw to Joyce and scored on a wild pitch, Silvernale famed. Canaan R. Stanton hit the first ball pitched for two bases, F. Stanton out first on hit to Silvernals, Scott famed, Heffernan hit to Traver, out first.
 Second-Ellis thrown out first by P. Stanton, Turner thrown out first by Heffernan, O'Brien hit safe to centre, Bohlman out first on hit to P. Stanton. Canaan-Brewer hit past Stuart for . base, Bierce flew to Barnum, P. Stanton and Dodge famed.
 Third-Wilson hit for a base, Turner walked, Barnum flew to Bierce, Stuart famed, Silvernale hit by pitcher, Ellis famed. Canaan-Joyce and R. Stan ton both thrown out first by Wilson, F. Stanton flew to Wilson. ,@ Fourth-Traver flew to F. Stanton, O'Brien hit to P. Stanton, out first, Turner bunted and was thrown out first. Canaan-Scott and Hefernan famed, Brewer hit to Traver, out first.
 Fifth-Wilson famed, Turner hit for a bag, Barnum hit to Heffennan who threw to Joyce to catch Wilson, Joyce dropped ball, Wilson safe second, Bar mum safe first, Turner out stealing third. Canaan-Bicrce hit to Wilson, safe first, P. Stanton flew to Silvernale, Dodge hit for bag, Joyce flew to Stuart.
