JF THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, MONDAY, MAY 10, 1890. 8 MIND READING FEATS. Extraordinary Display of iho Mys terious Power Possessed by A TODKG MAN FKOJI NEWARK, 0. Blindfolded, He .Reads, Writes and Copies Ticturcs From a Book. WASHINGTON I. BISDOP ECLIPSED New Tobk, May 18. All the war from Newark, 0., comes an aspirant for honors in the field lately occupied by Washington Irving Bishop, the mind reader, in the per son of Mr. Channcey Talmer, and if the sight and hearinc is to be believed, Mr. Palmer's claim lor distiction must be cred ited. One day last n eek, says a local news paper man, I received a note saying that a mind reader from the "West would give an exhibition at a friend's house, and an accept ance of the invitation was urged on the ground that he would do some Tery interest ing things. My friend's claims for the mind reader were sparse of the truth, for Mr. Palmer's performance or "tests, "as he called them, that evening were little short of won derful. Anticipating collusion between some of those to be present, I aEked an artist friend to accompany me, and on the way to the house where we were bidden we agreed upon a plan of detecting and defeatinc any co operation between, the mind reader and a colleague. Just here it is pertinent to say that there is a well defined doubt in the minds of most people as to what mind read lug really is. WIDELY DIFFEnEXT VIWS. The disciples of theosophism sav "that the mind can be read by one person whose physical condition is such that he can put himself in harmony with the 'astral body' of the person whose ideas are to be shown." Others insist that mind readers are really "hypnotic subjects" and that it is only an other form of hypnotism. Doctors and scientists claim that the so called mind readers are really more fit sub jects for a hospital and medical treatment than for public exhibition; that they are, in other words, "cataleptics." In proof of this they urge that Mr. Bibhop, the most for ward of those who made it a profession, died at an early age a physical wreck in a cata leptic trance, and was for years subject to morphine and other stimulants. Mr. Palmer, the latest ot those to give these exhibitions, is another proof of what the doctors say about the cataleptic or highly nervous state. The physicians also stale that those who have been successful in this peculiar line are men of weak individuality, but noted personal characteristics. Palmer fills the bill exactly. He is in appearance a man about 35 years old, with flashing black eyes and dark hair streaked with gray at the temples and sides of the head, bauds thin almost to attenua tion and a very sensitive, nervous mouth. He impressed me at once as being a man out of the ordinary, and on closer acquaint ance I noticed that his individuality was not ot a high order. WHAT THE TESTS TTEBi The exhibition was given in a private res idence, on "West Thirty-fourth street, and although there were but a dozen present all were in a way professional people. A doc tor, a lawyer, a sea captain, journalists, an artist, a theological student, an actress and a noted barytone and soprano of an equally noted church choir. Alter we were all seated in the parlor Mr. Palmer, before starting on the evening's exhibition, handed round a little card with a list of the "tests" which he claimed he could perform, written on it as follows: First Driving a team of horses through the city. Second Reproducing tableaux of three or more persons. Third Finding on calendar the day and month on which any person was born. Fourth Following exact route over which anv person may travel. ZLZZZ Fifth Writing on blackboard name or word thought of by any person. Sixth The famous mock murder test of Bishop. Seventh Reproducing simultaneously gest ures made by any person several feet away, Mr. Palmer's back being in front of the person. Eighth Writing on mirror a word or sentence thought of, the only connection between Mr. Palmer and enbject being a silk string or wire. Ninth Finding a pin or needle secreted In any part of the city. Tenth Finding on piano a note or chord thought of. Eleventh Writing 'on mirror any word or sentence In any language, written on paper and sealed in envelope, the only connection be tween subject and Air. Palmer being a wire or silk string. Twelfth Finding a word selected from a book and writing same on paper, the subject's band laid on Mr. Palmer's head being the only connection. Thirteenth The finding of three articles se lected by three different persons then tied in handkerchiefs and secreted. These hidden ar ticles will be returned to their proper places to the fraction of an inch. Note All these tests are performed while Mr. Palmer is thoroughly blindfolded. A BEMABKABLE TEAT. "I will commence the evening's perform ance by a few of the more simple tests, such as finding three secreted articles. First kindly appoint a committee." The doctor, the artist and I volunteered and were appointed, and the artist took Mr. Palmer into a back room and carefully blindfolded him. "While he was absent fromjthe room three of the party took re spectively a knife, a coin from the interior of the cabinet and a bonbonniere from a table, tied them in a handkerchief and secreted the handkerchief on the top of a bedstead on the third floor. The mind reader then took the hand of the gentle man who secreted the articles and com menced a search lor the missins handker chief. Aiound the room, down on his knees looking under sofas, chairs and the piano, he dragged the committeeman, and finally, like a sprinter, ran for the door and darted up the stairs straight to the room on the third floor and then to the bed where, after a minute's hesitation, he placed the hand he was holding on the linen. The conclusion of the test was more re markable than the first part. Taking separtely each article Palmer replaced them in their identical positions to the fractions of an inch, running down the stairs and avoiding the lurniture in the rooms quite as well as if his eyes were not darkened. MOVING ABOUT BLINDFOLDED. The next test was somewhat on the same order, one of the ladies present leaving the room and on her return stating she had secreted an article and asked Mr. Palmer to find it in the same way. A brief effort resulted in finding a pin, which bad been stuck in the tip of a gas burner in the back room. Then tableaus a la Bishop were re produced in endless variety, and the simpler tricks ot the programme, such as finding chords on the piano thought of, the finding of scars and birthmarks on the body and the instant going to a point desired while blindfolded, were indulged in for a short while. It will be remembered that Bishop, just before he expired at the Lamb's Club dinner, tried the difficult feat of trac ing a word while blindfolded that some one present had thought of. and he did it by holding the subject's bands in his. Mr. Bishop accomplished what he tried to do, bnt the effort sent him into a cataleptic fit from which he never recovered. After a brief rest, Mr. Palmer announced that he would try to do the word-writing trick in the improved form, and asked one Of the ladles to select a word for him. BEADING WHEN BLINDFOLDED. A page of a daily paper was spread on a table and very nearly in the center of the page the word "classes" was chosen. Taking her hand jn his and placing n hat pin be tween her fingers he gei-tly moved the point oi tue pin auout tne page lor a moment and 'then suddenlr tabbed the rtntnt Am ;. ' the paper. "That is the word," be said, and it was. "Please five me a nenril am Mr,W ssper," iru his sezt request- They werej furnished, and then a request for Mrs. IC to put her hand on his head was complied with. Taking the pencil, Mr. Palmer slowly traced the word. I was not quite satisfied, but that perhaps Palmer might have seen in some way the word, or that womanlike Mrs. IC had breathed it inaudibly to the rest and his quick car had caught it Although it looked as if he bad fully done as he ap peared to do, I asked him to try it with me. Taking cure this time that none but the artist with me knew what it was. I pur posely selected the small word "But" in a letter, because the mental strain on the mind reader was intense, and the larger the word the greater the effort When Palmer took my hand I used all my will power to let my hand lie passive in his, so that the muscles would not guide him at all. As before he poised the hands over the page likel a bird for n few minutes, and then swiftly alighted on the word. And again in- sistca "that is it" Palmer was ngnt. S1T8TERI0DS WBITINO. At Mr. Palmer's request I wrote a sen tence on a piece of paper and put it away in my pocket, and then taking the silk string in his hand be reproduced the sentence I had written. To make this more difficult I chose the Latin phrase facilis est descensus avernf. The test was not accomplished easily. Palmer made three or four attempts before he succeeded in writing the sentence, and was forced to rest between each effort In this case no one baa seen the written sentence on the paper until its reproduction on the mirror, when it was taken out and compared. "Do you understand Latin, Mr. Palmer?" I asked. "I never studied that or any other language but the English," he re plied. Comment is hardly necessary on this feat and it would seem that the acme of mind reading science had been reached. But it had not, for the subsequent efforts on Palmer's part cast his previous attempts far in the shade. "Mr. Palmer," said the artist present, "I am interested in pictures, and if you can please find and write a word or sentence that has been thought ot, can you not find and draw a portion of a picture in the same manner?" That was a poser for the mind reader, but alter a moment's thought he said: "I never tried anything like that or heard of anyone else who had, and I cannot sar that I will succeed, but I will do the best I can." A FEAT IN DBAWING. The small assemblage had by this time been impressed with the fact that there was hardly anything in the way of reproducing what was in the minds of other persons and no test was too difficult for Mr. Palmer, and they one and all believed he would succeed. Opposite page 198 of the novel "Pierre and Jean," by Guy de Maupassant 1 a picture of a girl in yachting costume. The girl's hat and head were the subjects chosen. In the same manner as the words were found Palmer put the pin point on the head of the girl. The artist was now directed to place his hand on Mr. Palmer's head. Taking the paper and pencil in a hesitat ing manner he (Palmer) slowly drew the top of a girl's sailor hat, then the sides, and then the rim. At that point the artist, who had selected the portion of the picture to be drawn, reached out his disengaged hand for the book to look at it Palmer instantly stopped short, and could not go on. It seemed for a time that his "mind read ing" had found its limit The artist ex plained, "I wanted the book because I could not remember how the hair was ar ranged." That was a partial explanation of Palmer's failure, and after a short rest he tiled it again. This time I selected the pic ture to be drawn and was the medium. The subject was a man's face, with beard and yachting cap, from the same book. I took extreme care to remember just how the cap and head looked. In this the operator was very successful. The drawing, although crude, proved that Palmer was drawing as well as he could just what I had in my mind. The beard, the last portion to be pnt in, was scratched therewith nervous energy. A BEMABKABLE INCIDENT. A remarkable thing might be here noted about the drawing of these pictures. At times Palmer would take his pencil from the paper, raise it six inches or a foot and then put it down just where he took it from or at the exact termination of a line from which another line had to bo drawn to help complete the picture, and in no case was bis pencil put the hundredth part of an inch out of the way. If the leaders have a doubt as to the difficulty of forming the lines while blindfolded, let them close their eyes, make a line with a pencil, then lift the point and try to put it back again in the same spot. The third drawing test was the most suc cessful. In this case a number of figures were drawn on a piece of paper, and one of them was a face made with angular lines. It was that face uhich was selected to be drawn. The selection of the subject and the drawing were accompLshed by Palmer with great difficulty, bnt when it was fin ished it was the most complete of all so far. The fonrth and last test was an elaboration of what is called the "envelope test," only a picture of a boat, drawn by the artist, was substituted, but before sealing it in the en velope it was shown to the soprano, and she IMPBESSED ITS OUTLINES clearly on her mind. As in the previous ef forts it was located without any difficulty. Bnt it was only after repeated attempts that the drawing was commenced and Palmer was then breathingheavilyand hishand shaking violently. He persevered until he had put in the mainsail and bad started to make the jib, when be dropped the pencil and sank in a chair exclaiming, X am exhausted; 1 cau work no more. If external evidence could be accepted he was, for he was in a state of collapse and had aged in appearance over ten years since the evening began. Mr. Palmer has never given public per formances except in a few small towns m the "West, and but few private exhibitions previous to this, although he says he has been able to do "mind reading" for 15 years. HE "WASN'T IK A HUBBY. A Holder or A. V. It. K. Bonds Neglected to Collect Interest for 10 Years. Alfred Beidge, of the county of Devon, England, has filed a petition in the United States Circuit Court, asking that the Pennsylvania Bailway Company, as guar antor of the Allegheny Valley Railway Company, reissue two $1,000 bonds, lost by the petitioner in April, 1880. The bonds wanted are known aB Low Grade, the issue .of which was $10,000,000, bearing 7 per cent interest and payable in 1910. It seems that all that is necessary for the plaintiff to do is to secure the company against loss by the presentation of the origi nal bonds, which are supposed to have been burned by a servant as waste paper. No explanatiou of the delay in presenta tion is given, bnt it appears that during ten years no one collected interest on the bonds. In the Spring Nearly everybody needs a good medicine.
