WOMAN KEPT UNDER GUARD.
Visionist Who Failed in Better
Frame of Mind

PASSA1C. y. j., June 1o.-Mrs. Anna
kiselcia. who fOretOld that she was to die
yesterday morning. and who was greatly
disturbed because her prediction was not
fulfilled. seemed to be in better frame
of mind today and the physicians at the
hospital where she is under surveillance
have hopes of her ultimate recovery.
When the hour for her prophesied death
passed yesterday she became sulky and
refused food. During the night, however.
she gave way and ate a hearty meal.
This morning she arose and ate a hearty
breakfast. She made no reference today
to the death prophecy. She will be kept
under guard at the hospital for the pres
ent and the physicians there say they look
for an early restoration of her mind to a
normal condition.

VERDICT FOR $2,oOo
Administrator Smith Wins Case For the Estate of Thomas
 Mah0ney.

New Haven, Jan 23.--A verdict against the New York, New Haven X Hartford k. R. Co for 5000 has been rendered by the superior court, this being the first action to be decided against the road under the new trial by jury law.

While climbing a pole and pulling wire, current of electricity, computed at 2,3OO volts, came in contact with the climbers he was using, and the current, passing through his body, killed him instant ly.
 In the trial of the case it was con tended by the plaintiff that there was faulty insulation in the wire that Ma honey was using and that therefore the railroad was negligent and liable for damages. The suit was for $5,O0O.

Faculty of Brown University Says It
 Makes Good Citizens,

Providence, R. l., Jan. 23.-The or ganization of republican and demo- cratic clubs among the students of Brown university that they may be thus trained for good citizenship in coming years" is advocated by Presi- dent w. H. P. Faunce in letter written to Councilman w. F. Sears of the Providence city government made public to-day. The letter was writ ten in reply to one received by Presi- dent Faunce offering criticism for a suggestion attributed to MT Faunce that students of Brown form an or ganization to further the candidacy of a graduate of Brown university who is now being mentioned for the presidential nomination.

DOWN IT GOES
Bank of England Has Reduced lis Rate of Interest Once
 More
WAS 7, IT IS NOW 4

London, Jan 23-The rate of discount of the Bank of England was to-day reduced from 5 to per cent.
 The reduction of the bank rate was a foregone conclusion owing to the rapidly improving financial con- ditions prevailing everywhere which caused the market for discount rates to fall to 3 B per cent. The return of cash from the country considera- ply swelled the reserve which fur ther will be increased in the near future by the receipt of gold from Egypt and Australia as well as bar gold now en route to London. This will include $5,000.000 worth of gold which probably will be secured by the Bank of England on Monday. Further influences tending towards the reduced bank rate are the i'm proved conditions prevailing on the continent forecasting early reduction in the bank rates of France and Germany and the likelihood of re- turn of gold from America or the shipment of gold from America to Argentine Republic, thus relieving the demand on London.
 The announcement of the reduc- tion of the bank rate had a favora- ble effect on the London stock ex- change, where the reduction of a half per cent only had beer antici- pated. Consols improved 5-16 to S4 E, home rails and Kaffirs were marked higher and Americans which opened around parity improved half to one point for active issues.

HORNET SENTINELS.
It Would Seem That These Insects
 Keep Guard Over the Nests.

Is a hornets nest guarded by senti- nels. after the manner of ant hills? It Is not so easy to decide, for their private habits do not invite familiar approach. But some experiments seemed to point that way. No noises. however near or strident, had the least effect upon the workers. Blow on divers instruments as loudly and shrilly as I would, they poured in and out of the gate or labored on the walls, intent wholly upon their own affairs. But at the slightest jar upon the win dow or shutter, out flew a bevy of irate insects and flung themselves against the wire window screen with an angry "bump" that showed how good was their intention at least to de- fend their home. It was always so. A squad of workers, free and reaSy for aggressive duty. seemed to be lurking near the gate. prompt to sally forth upon alarm. Even at night a few kept near by, and, although their port had lost its vicious swing and they moved about with sluggish pace. like sleepy watchmen. as doubtless they were. they left upon the observer the impres- sion that they were on sentinel serv- ice, in which the community was never lacking.-Dr. H. c.

About Hughes Candidacy.
 Washington, Jan. 23 - Governor Hughes announcement of his candi dacy for the presidential nomination brought Parsons, Fassett and Bennett. the Parsons leader, to the White House for consultation with Roosevelt. When they left. Bennett cheerfully an- nounced that he would support Hughes if the governor is nominated. Parsons had nothing to say. Fassett said that if Hughes comes out for a Roosevelt platform. he ought to have the sup port of the state and probably would have 1t.
 There was small inclination on the part of the New York men in congress to talk for publication about the gov ernor's candidacy. Representative Wal do. who has been a Hughes man all along. saw the governor almost nomi- mated. OlcOtt. Dunwell and Perkins were ready to fall in line if the people want Hughes.
