the inability TO open the eyes, while
only one out of four enters into strong
hypnotic Authorizations. Further, not
every one Is well prepared to awaken
that confidence which Is essential and
that feeling Of repose which guides one

the voice, the gestures. the phrases, the
behavior, of certain persons make them
poor hypnOtiZerS, however well they
may understand the tricks. But in
principle everybody can hypnotic and
can be ~hypnOtized, just as in principle
everybody can love and can be loved,
and no special mysterious power IS
needed to fail in love or to awaken
love.
Yet, while thus every one can exert
hypnotic influence. no n can do 1t by
a mere glance. All the stories of Il Sc

UNDERSHlRT AND VEST
WAS ALL HE HAD LEFT

Pittsburg, Pa. Aug. 8.-Wm. e. Nc
MILAN, president of the Mcmillan Lum-
Der company, of Pittsburg, Chicago m
Baltimore, is the victim of perhaps
the most unique, certainly meanest,
sneak thief who ever entered a Pullman
car.
While he vas en- route from Balti-
more to Pittsburg over the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, last night. a thief stole
every stitch of clothing possessed by
Mr.. Mcmillan, while the latter slept.
The lumberman, who weighs 200
pounds. had retired, wearing only a
dinky little athletic undershirt. He
had this when he was awakened this
morning. and in addition his fancy vest.
But his shoes and socks, as well as his
roll-S200-and about $3.50 In jewelry
was gone. Nor did he have his hat.
Mr.. Mcmillan set the train crew and
porter at work TO find his things, think
Ing that some joker friend had taken
them, but they were not TO be found.
The train had made five stops In the
night and 1t Is supposed that at one
of the stops the thief got aboard and
carried of Mr.. McMilian's wardrobe
without waiting TO sort the things out.

Berlin, Aug. S.-The ministers of all

of his airship, expressing the hope that
the disaster will only spur him to fur

his ambition.
DIR. Won Betmann-Hollewig, imperial
secretary of state for the interior, after
a consultation with his colleagues, has
decided to forward to Count Zeppelin
$l25, 900, the proposed estimates in the
imperial budget for aeronautic expert

acter In the interest Of the fatherland."

cilIor, who was commissioner general

amount to Friedrichshafen to present
IL to Count Zeppelin.
When the airship was destroyed, Dr.
Lewald, who was a member OF the COM
mittee to decide whether the airship
SHOULD be taken Over by h govern
ment, received from Count Zeppelin a
dispatch explaining the reason for the
two descents Of the balloon. II says:
THE future OF my airship depends
on the motors. Yesterdays descent on
the Rhine was occasioned by the fusing
of white metal I'm one of the grooves of
the piston rod, which had already stood
the test of several trips. / travelled
today from Mannheim with only n
motor. As soon as possible intend to
return to Friedrichshafen."

Los Angeles. Cal, Aug. S.-Judge Al
ton B. Parker, democratic candidate
for president in 1904. delivered his first
speech of the present campaign in be-
half of w. j. Bryan and Kern before
an audience of 1000 people at the
Temple auditorium last night. In his
address Judge Parker said:
We rave at the head of the demo-
cratic ticket two men of character,
we'll known, one of whom lis especially
well known, and who in eason and
out has fought against corrupt cor
porations. And with him is associated
a man whom / have known personally
since 1895, and who, in my judgment,
is in every way worthy of his associate,
and who, in case ar emergency of any
| should arise, which God forbid,
would be in a position TO AXE up the
standard and carry II on"
This reference to the candidates was
received by the audience with great
enthusiasm. Cheers for the candidates
came from all parts of the hall.
Tariff the Issue.
Judge Parker devoted practically his
entire speech to the tariff, which he
lde~nominated as the 'one great question
of the hour and the subject OF cam
ipaign contributions by corporations"
Upon these subjects he said:
There is one great question of all
questions to be solved by the electorate
in the coming campaign. Many years
ago a small black cloud appeared upon
the horizon of this country. 1t was a
very small one then, but IT has grown
now to n of giant proportions. A
tariff was imposed for the protection
Of infant industries which has been ex-
tended and enlarged until under 1t has
grown up a system which now has the
country completely within its grasp.
How Is it that against the interest
of the people, a party In power for
more h a so years has been able to
shut its eyes to the fact that the people
have been persistently robbed by
means Of a statute which this party
enacted, but which il has not had the
courage to change. The republican
party has been in alliance with pro-
'tected interests. These interests have
party at the request of the national
committee upon every needful occa-
sion.
Cut Out R%ottenness.
Everybody knows that for years the
leaders of the party have been engaged
in frying fat out Of the manufacturers.
What does IL mean when republican
managers go to the manager of the
corporations hand in hand n ask

agreement? Is it hat the parties re-
ceiying the money will Jake care of
the parties giving the money?
You should send to Washington a
president who is in favor of turning
down the trusts and with a congress
back of him who will help to do it.
The last congress, in dealing with this
question only hid its head like the
ostriches out in southern California. II
we will live we must do away with
this rottenness. Cnt it out to the core.
The issue Is pressing. We must do 1t
now. The duty of every citizen is
plain and there is no doubt as to which
of the two national tickets he should
support"
