It has been agreed tshat newspaper subscriptions are an infalliable test of a man's honesty. They will sooner or later discover the man. If ho is dis honest he will cheat the printer some way—declare he has paid when he has not—sent money in the mails which was lost—will take the paper and not pay for it on the ground that he never subscribed for it—or move off and let it come to the office he left. Thousands of alleged Christians are dishonest in this particular, at least, and the print er's book will tell fearful tales at the final judgment.—Press and Printer. BURIED ALiVE THREE DAYS. Ilypiiotixril <;irl Tells of IIPP Strange Experience, After having been buried In a grave in Woodlawu cemetery, at Lexington, Ky., l'or three days while hypnotized, according to the dispatches from that city, l<i-year-old Maude Mathews was disinterred the other day in the pres ence of a thousand persons. She was in no way affected by her experience. "Oh, no. this is not the first time I have been under the ground, and the other time 1 was under the ground it was in a coffin, too," said Maude Mathews to a New York Journal re porter. "It was on the Fourth of July at Natural Bridge, in the Kentucky mountains. We had gone up there 011 a pleasure trip, and Professor Leon thought it would be a good place to make a trial to see what I could do. It was so far from civilization that should I tlie he felt safer, and so did I. "I have seen hypnotic tests where men were buried a day or so, and I thought I could do it if they could, so I allowed him to bury me all day and stood the ordeal well. At night he took me up. I was convinced that I would not fail if buried for a greater length of time, and they do say I look ed beautiful laid out five feet below the surface of the earth. "I did not feel at all. There is no feeling. When one is hypnotized, the sensibility is entirely taken away. All I know was that I was hypnotized in the Park auditorium at night and that I was iu the same place when I awoke. By consulting ray friends I find that the earth has been revolved twice. I know I was buried, for they told rae so, and here is the coffin. I feel 110 stiffness in my limbs, nor do I feel any hunger. "After I awoke I drank a glass of warm water and ate a cracker. This morning I ate breakfast as usual. Upon weighing I find I have lost IVi pounds. It is a fine way to pass the time away, and any one feeling that iiis time is too slow should try it. I tin going to undertake the death test next. 1 am certain I can live under the hypnotic spell as long ns any one, and ihey tell mc meu have lived 2Vl> weeks. This is called the death test." II Ih Shots, "Charley, dear," said young Mrs. Tor kins, "I want you to be more careful about the use of firearms." "Why, I haven't" — "Charley, dear," she proceeded, with sweet severity, "you mustn't try to deceive me. I heard you telling yes terday about how you fell down on a long shot. If you must go in for such things, please get a gun that won't kick."—Washington Star. Ii is probably the study of Chinese geography that uiakes the Boxers so bilious. Emery In the Campaign. Mr. Emery lias come in from California to enter actively into the Congressional campaign. For years it lias been Mr. Emery's ambition to reach a seat in Congress, but tlie way has not appeared to be open for entering into a contest with ap parent possibilities of success until the virulent outbreak against Mr. Sibley promised the aid of an irreg ular contingent to the Democratic nominee, says the Kane Repub lican. When Mr. Sibley was a candidate for congress two years ago, he stated plainly upon the stump that if elected he would be the representative of th<> whole people so far as he should be able; that no party consideration should swerve liini from what he should consider his duty in relation to the oiliee which he should hold. He \va ; elected by the combined vote of Democrats and Republicans. Yet certain Democratic politicians considered him their special prop erty. When, therefore, he pursued the identical course in Congress that he had indicated in his pledges to the people the self-assumed di rectors of public officials charged him with rank ingratitude and party treachery. It is upon disaffected elements that Mr. Emery relies for his suc cess in the coming campaign. The district is nominally Republican by about (>,OOO majority. The dis affected forces in the Republican party have made repeated attempts to carry the primaries and have as often failed. The only hope they have of defeating the regular Re publican nominee lies in their ability to carry a contingent of votes into the Democratic camp. Money is necessary to make the battle. The co-operation of Dem ocratic and irregular forces can only be secured by the lavish use of campaign funds. Every Demo crat on the several local tickets in the disti'ict expects to gain votes and avoid expenditures by the use of funds contributed to aid the Emery battle. There is no issue involved except the success of the movement to "down Sibley" for his adhesion to his pledges to the people instead of standing firmly in the Democratic ranks in oppo sition to the policy of the McKinley administration. The majority of the people of the district support the McKinley administration, and Mr. Sibley has not misrepresented i them in his support of administra tion measures. What is it that Mr. Emery un dertakes to perform that renders him preferable as a representative of the people? Will he support the McKinley administration, or will lie go into the Bryan camp? Is the money to be spent through his managers togo to the support of anything specially favored by the people of this district? Were he to be elected would his course satisfy the Democratic leaders or would he too, through fidelity to public duty become a supporter of Republican measures? The sum of the matter is that Emery wants togo to congress. Certain elements in the Democratic and Republican parties are willing to render him all the assistance possible in return for the substan tial contributions lie is expected to furnish in their light to down a man whom they could not control. Mr. Sibley will go upon the stump and justify his position before the peo ple. I jet Mr. Emery go before the people and explain what he expects to accomplish for his disaffected Republican adherents and what lie will do in return for his Democratic support. The policies of the Dem ocratic and Republican parties stand in diametrical opposition. Which will he favor? Democrats used to say that Europe would not buy American goods if we barred out European goods by a pro tective tariff. In the 1895 fiscal year, under the Wilson bill, Europe bought from us to the extent of §634,000,000. Last year, under the Dingley protective tariff, Europe's purchases amounted to §959,000,000. The balance to the credit of the protective tariff was §320,000,000 last year in our trade with Europe alone. The PBESS, one year §1.50. Administrator's TSotice. Estate of EL I AS PETERS, deceased.
