Good Joke on All. G. Field.

That Columbus, Ohio, has beer ae-
lected by the directors of the Grand
American Handicap shoot for their
annual contest has brought joy to the
heart of AL. G. Field. the minstrel
man. Two years ago when the trap
shooters of America held their annual
shoot at Columbus, Field was one OF
the most enthusiastic to insure the
success of the big event The Column
bus Gun club had charge of the affair.
Mr.. Field is, an active member OF the
club and chairman of the reception
committee and great lover of trap
shooting. So anxious was he to swell
the attendance a. much as possible,
while he was travelling over the com.
try with his minstrel company. he
invited his friends from everywhere
to visit the Grand American Handicap
as his special guests. A great many

He impatiently appealed to the sec

The subject Of Rev. DR.. Giglinger's
lecture at St Mary's church last night
vas: ..Hypnotism and Spiritism.' He
said that the founder Of hypnotism,
formerly mesmerism, was a physician
by the name of Mcsmer, who was
born in Vienna, Austria, in 1888, and
died in 1916. Mesmer claimed to have
discovered in man certain fluid. a
mower similar to magnetism, called
animal magnetism, and later. from its
founder, NIesmerism. He was for a
time quite famous, and the sum of
$4,000 was offered to him for his Sc
cret but was turned down by. him.
A Royal Commission looked upon
his invention as an imposture, and
Nesmer died in obscurity Mesmer-
ism. however did not die with him.

Drained, coined the word hypnotism.
indicating the artificial sleep induced

Prof. Coffens of the Creighton Med

good results to hypnotism:
1T acts as a Temporary sedative,

1T is used as an anesthetic instead
OF .chloroform.
1T is employed as mere painkiller
"The more or less permanent cure

mering, is attributed to it.
Even moral improvements are
claimed for it, at least the removing
of bad habits, such as drunkenness.
sOn the other hand we must not lose
sight Of the fact that in hypnotism the
patient is made to pass through three
stages, viz: lethargy, catalepsy- and
somnambulism. Each of these stages
is a disease in itself. hence treat

The church has no fault to find will

with bad spirits, and is very sinful.
The name "spiritism," is new, but the
practice is old. 1t existed already at
the time Of Moses, and among those
that were to be exterminated by the
coramand OF God was everyone that
seeketh the truth from the dead, and
this is precisely what spirits do. The
Catholic church condemns superstition
and inculcates the enforcement of the
First Commandment, viz: To adore
God alone.
