TYPHOID FEVER.
Seventeen Cases Now Being Treated
 at Waterbury Hospital.

There seems to be an epidemic ot typhoid fever in this city at present for there are no less than seventeen cases at the Waterbury hospital. Seven persons down with the disease have been taken to the hospital with in the past two days, all coming front the Bucks hill district.
 The place where the recent cases have developed is the "baby farm, !" and that is why the authorities are more alarmed than they otherwise would be. In addition to the mem- bers of the Gilbert family, Percy and Sydney Young, Mary O'Rourke and Raymond Clark have caught the dis ease. Although the authorities arc of the opinion that the disease is now in check they will not be very posi- tive until few more days. The water which it is thought caused the disease has been sent to the state chemist to be analysed

THE POWER OF MIND.
New and Startling Proof of Its Mas
 tery of Base Matter.

trTy Oi DAec mhttSr.
 Those who take the most radical view of the power of the human will to control the processes and reactions of the organism, even those that have been regarded as subject who'll ly to physical and chemical laws, will read with interest of a series of ex- periments Dr Otto von der Pfordten described in the Naturwissenshaft- liche Wochenscrift in an article enti- tied Electricity and the Problem of Attention" .-..
 The author has shown, as he thinks, that the action of electricity on the human body may be modified or even neutralized by the state of the mind. Aspinals has already noted that electricians who when asleep have touched dangerous live wires have suffered no injury except a burn; and Jellinek found that an ordinarily deadly current did not harm rabbits when they were chloro- formed. Says writer in the Even ing Post, commenting on the Ger man article:
 "Of greater interest still are the cases he cites where the action of the current is neutralized by mans strained expectation or attention. Electricians, he says, often touch parts of the machinery to ascertain if there Is current in them, and while this conscious and deliberate act results in no harm, unintentional contact with a less powerful current proves fatal.
 Tn experimenting on himself, Jel- linek found that an unexpected shock of $50 volts was terrible, whereas an expected shock of 500 volts made lit- tie impression. But this was baga- telle compared with the exhibition of courage given by Herr von Dobro- wolsky, who broke wire containing 30,000 volts and picked up one end of 1t in the presence of several dis mayed experts without suffering the least harm. To do such thing one must be absolutely fearless of death. or else one must have force of an en- gineer who has learned to control the powerful electric fluid This force, the writer declares, is will power, and he adds sententiously There is something imposing in this idea that the will power in such case opposes itself to death as an equal force and comes out trium. phant.' ~"
 The writer is of opinion that Dl Pfordten's case would have beer stronger had he mentioned the kind of current employed in these various experiments. The difference between the direct and alternating current or the rate of frequency of the lat, ter. is often sufficient to account fol ability to withstand high voltage Boston Transcript.

MAYOR THOMS AWAY
Will Confer Wiih National Dem.
 OcFalie Committee.

When Mayor Thoms finished up matters yesterday with the Boston bankers relative to the sale of the park bonds he left for New Hamp- shire to be absent for week or so. It was said here to-day that Mayor Thoms has been called to confer with the national democratic committee the fall campaign and that when he returns he will have some valuable information on national poli- tics. The democrats intend to con duct a vigorous campaign all through New England and especially in Con necticut, which it appears, the man agement enteftains hope of wrestling from the republicans. The Lilley fight is stirring up quite a horet's nest not only in this state, but in other places and those in a position to know claim that if the democrats get together this time Bryan will be elected and old Connecticut will be numbered among the democratic states.
 It is also stated that in the event of the election of Bryan Mayor Thoms will be +honored by an appointment as minister to some European country probably England. a position for which it is admitted he is fully equipped. During the administration of Cleveland Thomas M. Waller was United States consul at London, so that it would not surprise anybody to hear of some other Connecticut man filling similar position in case the democrats should again resume the reins of government at the White House. Probably this explains why Mayor Thoms is not seeking a place on the state ticket, notwithstanding the desire on the part of his friends to have him enter the race. One of the mayors close friends said to-day that while he is not in a position tc speak for Mir Thoms, he had reason to believe that if the democrats win the coming election Waterbury and Mayor Thoms will not be overlooked in the matter of appointments.

Pres iGent Seth Low of the Civic Federas tion has taken up the dispute.
 President Mahon says that the men along the entire street railroad sys-em of the New Haven company have voted to strike and are ready to quit as soon as the Providence local asks them to do so. He sait last evening:
 Though there is no trouble if any part of the system except Provt denee, the men along the entire sys tenn have voted to strike. For tha reason we want to have the troubN settled amicably if possible. We have an agreement with the com pany for every branch In the sye tenn except the Providence branch which became a part of the system only recently. Since then 100 O. our members have been discharged and discharges are still going on. Al first it vas stated that the die charges were on account of com plaints of various kinds. but whei we saw the manager at Providence we were told frankly that the mel were discharged for belonging 10 th' union and that no union men yer wanted.
