Montgomery. February 1S.-tspeciaD The administration bond issue hill failed to pass the senate this afternoon owing to successful filibustering methods of Senator Lusk and other members of the minority. The bill failed of passage because 1t was never brought to a vote, parliamentary wrangles en- gazing the attention of the senate until the majority had no other course to pur- sue than to allow the measure to go over until after the recess.

 The legislature received the message in silence, the members simply gazing at the ceiling as if they were so many schoolboys under arraignment for confessed disobedience. Following the
 eading of the message by the clerk of the senate MT. Luss, who had conduct ed a successful fiiibuster against the state bond issue amendment, in the course of which he had severely criti- cized the governor, suggested that the clerk inscribe on the document the hour of its reception. Later, by motion of MT. Bulger. the message was referred to the finance committee and orders were given for the publication of 1000 copies.

VERNON REVIEW.

Vernon. the hypnotist. began an On
gagement ut the Grand last night that
will continue during the remainder OF
the. week. And he seems to be an un-
usually clever man at this trade. At any
rate, he mystified and entertained the
large audience that was present at his
opening performance. and he promises,
and not without good reason, that his
work Win be more interesting Mt each OF
volunteers from his audiences, and, as
he explained, it II necessary for him to
ascertain the power he can exercise over
his subjects before he attempts to put
them through the limits Of the hypnotic
PAGES. But he seemed to have mis- new
subjects at last nights performances un-
der we'll nigh perfect control, and the
stunts that he made them pull off were
ludicrously. funny. -
awakening the man he had had under a
hypnotic sleep OF forty hours duration In
q Kansas avenue drug store window. But
before bringing him back from the land
OF nod he threw him into q. cataleptic
trance. stretched his stiffened body across
the backs of two chairs. the head resting
on one and the feet on the other, and
then piled three two-hundred pound men
from the audience on 1t. He could hnve
room. This was done to demonstrate that
q hypnotic sleep of such q duration has
no weakening effect on the physical
strength OF the subject.
And using this same subject later in the
evening, Prof. Vernon gave the most
mvstifying exhibition of his powers.
After putting the subject to sleep. the
professor went through the audience,
asking tests for the subject to perform.
