The latter were very angry. Chautauqua lias on her festive garments. rSrXCIJJ. TELICBAM TO UI DISPATCH.! Lake Chautauqua, N. X., August 2. The morning lecture at the Ampitheater was in itself good enough to make up a day's programme. "Hypnotism" was the subject, ably discussed by Dr. M. C Lock wood, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Cincinnati, O. "Within the past year our subject has been made very popular," he said. "The newspaper has found in it great resources for sensation, and has added to the facts the wonders of a most fertile imagination. In one way the lectnrer is weakened by the newspaper reports, in that if he adheres closely to his own experiments and gives nothing but the truth, he appears tame beside the marvels with which the gullible public has been entertained. In another way he is helped, for the exaggerations make him more bold to tell all he has learned. At first it was only with great caution that we hinted at the possibilities of the practice of hypnotism, lest our good should be spoken of as evil. UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENA. "What men have called supernatural are phenomena which they could not explain. The natural is what men have discovered about the supernatural. Natural law is what we have found out about the super natural will. God reigns. To find out how He makes the reverent soul more reverent, fills the heart with awe and makes our life a very serious matter. "Hypnotism has revealed that there was wisdom in abandoning any effort to identify sensation with consciousness at any point. There is a relation and one which can be thrown out of gear. Thus far we can go ' into a definition of what hypnotism does; it does not change consciousness from one kind to another, as is held by seme, but perverts its normal or har monious relations to the senses. To assert more is to enter upon .speculation a task too great for our present purpose, and one which the present ignorance of the nervous system renders not only difficult, but vain. "We may venture that if the nerves are the vehicles of the spiritual, we may find that hypnotism will reveal the supremacy of spirit over physical sensations, a theory which, if true, will unravel the mystery of demonology in the New Testament along the very lines suggested by Maurice in his treatise on the GosDel of the Kingdom by Luke. Has not human thought been too materialistic; taking on the color of the age? Concerned with wrestling with flesh and flood, we have forgotten the battle with the unseen cowers of evil about us. AN ANCIENT PRACTICE. "The practice of hypnotism is not a recent one. In the shades and graves of ancient pagan temples the priests performed many cures of disease and produced deep sleep and prophetic dreams. It can be traced amid the cnlts of India, and solves the mystery of the horrible witchcraft period of American and English history. It accounts for the persistent belief of many in clairvoy ancr, ghosts and charms, and for the cures wrought by medical empiricism in many ages. Faith and prayer cures belong to this category, and so-called mind-reading is to be classed under the same head. It has had more to do with the extension of diseases than it has been credited with. The measure of its good is probably commensurate with the measure of its evil. , "The method of producing hypnosis, or nerve sleep, as it is called, varies according to the fancy of the operator. It is not uni form even in the same operator. The end to be sought is to secure an impression on the subject. When the impression is once made clear and definite there is little trouble in COMPLETING THE PBOCESS. "Sometimes holding the hand of a subject, and Dressing upon some spot in the wrist, I suggest that there will be a tingling sensa tion in the elbow. It you can surround yonr subjects with a feeling of mysterv and inspire in them the expectation of being subjects you will add to the probabilities of yonr success. To argue with them or arouse antagonism is to generally insure failure. "Persons who are in no way antagonistic or argnmentive are easiest to hypnotize. Yon cannot hypnotize a fool. Once in your control you can make them do anything yon wish, good or evil. Tbey will commit inurder with impunity. The most truthful person, if told to tell a falsehood at a cer tain hour to-morrow, will do it. There is so limit to onr control over them. I have given a lady all the symptoms of pneumonia and high fever when in this state. A CASE IN POINT. "A young lady was given a toy pistol which we made her understand was loaded and she shot rnthlessly at friends and ac quaintances upon our command. Giving her a paper dagger I said, 'Here is a steel dagger; take it and kill him,' and I pointed so a very dear gentleman fuend. At first the struck at him lightly, hut when com manded she hit him with a force that nearly threw him over. We pointed to an emerald on his shirt bosom, 'See you have danger ously stabbed him. Look at the blood. What shall we do?' " 'Belter send for the doctor,' was the cool reply. " 'But'you have killed him. He is going to die.' "I know it, she said. "When told after awakening of what she had done she could remember nothing. The next day however, when aga'.a in a trance, she told the whole story of her dream with absolute correctness." . SriTITUALISTS IN TBOUBLE. "TbeSpiritualists at Chautauqua were in 'lkl.?!er to-day. For once thev were in a iposiuon where they could "account for that; heis a fraud and a deceiver." and this is what one or two persons said concerning pr.il. C. Lockwood, of Cincinnati, who last evening performed the various phenom ena of the spirit and to-night gave an ex pose of the way he did it The BpiritualUts called his tricks a fraud, and that was pre cisely what it was, and what the doctor t claims all communications of the so-called spirits are. Air. Jjocfcwood showml how tlie roertiu produced all the common phenomena and as a clincher offered $100 to any medium in the country who would perform a trick that he could not discover. He wrote upon a slate, which was bonnd together by cord in the dark cabinet, and did it by means of an ebony wedge driven between the frames and a thin sheet-like piece of steel that contained a pencil. He had a gentleman write a word upon a piece of paper, then burned the paperin his presence, and presently came out from his room with the word written in blood-red letters on his bare arm. BY SLEIGHT OP HAND. While the gentleman was doubling up the paper Mr. Lockwood, with his hand under his coat, folded up one of like size and shape, and bv a trick of palmistry, changed them without the knowledge of the author, burning the bogus one. He did all the rapping and noise trick by aid of an accom plice without it being known by a large crowd of gentlemen present on the stage. Everything he did by simple legerdemain after the style of a Keller or a Herrmann. He said that there was no sanctification or atonement about Spiritualism. It was first investigation, second mystification, third dupe. The trick of mediums who told persons with whom they were unac quainted all about themselves and dead rel atives was done by means of a ledger called the "Dead Book," in which are kept minute details secured by an accomplice. Again, you meet a medinm in Chautauqua, and he directs you to some fellow trickster in Pittsburg. Immediately after you leave him he collects everything he can concern ing von, and sends it in short telegraphic cypher statement to his iriend in the "Smoky City," who greets you on your arrival with a full account of your ancestry, dead friends, your occupation, etc, for the sum of $10 or so. SIMPLY A FRAUD. The doctor struck the point when he said (answered by round upon round of ap plause), "The whole thing is a fraud." He takes great interest in the Spiritualistic gentlemen, and strives to keep up with their new tricks. Again was a Chautauqua audience disap pointed in the non-appearance of the speaker. Many came here from other points to near an oration by that eloquent Kentuckian and able Democratic leader, Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge, of Ken tucky. The Hon. Albion W. Tonrgee took his place and read from some of bis novels. The people did not like this second failure and the Assembly should be careful not to repeat it. At all events they should have Mr. Breckinridge here before close of session. To-day was intended to be mission ary day, but owing to a misunderstanding only one meeting was held, that in the hall, a small one, to consider the Bible in mis sions. Lakewood is gay to-night, gayer than ever before. Two great hops are taking place at the hotels. The music is excellent and the costumes swell. Every one is talk ing of the "military." who come to this stylish resort next week. ABMEHIAHS IK AMEE10A Protest Against the Outrages Becentlr Inflicted by the Turkish Troops. rsrrcuL, tslkqrax to thx DisriTcn.1 New Yobk, August 2. The Armenian colony in the city of New York and adjacent cities held a large meeting to-night and discussed the Turkish outrages against the Armenians. Dr. M. S. Ga briel, President of the colony, was the principlal speaker. He said that the recent massacre of 400 Armenians bv the Turks was a blow against Armenians the world over. The massacre and the consequent resignation of the two Armenian ministers and the Armenian patriarch, the speaker said, had severed the tics between the Turk ish Empire and the Armenians. War was declared by the Turkish Government against the Armenian nation and would go on until the Armenians became Bussians or an inde pendent State. The Armenian colony in, the United States is growing in number and power, and the Armenians were right to expect from the Armenian colony an effective movement in favor of the Armenian cause. Dr. Gabriel suggested that a petition be sent by the colony to the President of the United States, calling his attention to-the Turkish outrages against the Armenians, and asking him to direct the American Minister at Constantinople to do .all he could for the Armenian cause. The meet ing decided to send such a petition to Presi dent Harrison. A TEAMP'S NARROW ESCAPE. Nearly Lynched by a Mob for Assaulting n. Catholic Clergyman. Eacine, Wis., August 2. Dragged through the streets by a rope about his neck, which threatened to cut off his exist ence, in the handB of a frenzied mob, Adam Young, of Emmetsville, Ind., a professional tramp, had a narrow escape to-day from lynching. The cause oi Young's rough treatment was a brutal assault made upon the Eev. Father Fessler, of St. Joseph's-Catholic Church, at the home of the clergyman about noon to-day. Young went to the door of the priest's home and demanded something to eat Be fore Father Fessler could dodge, the tramp struck him on the neck. The priest ran out the back door, with Young in pursuit. The clergyman was overtaken by his assailant, knocked down, pounded in the face, and his nose smashed. By this time a crowd had congregated. Some one shouted, "Hang the brute." A rope was placed around the neck of the tramp, and but for the timely arrival of policemen, he would have been dangling in the air from a large tree near by. Young was placed in jail. COLLISION IN THE BABB0B. Two of the Crew of a Government Dredger Supposed to be Drowned. tSrXCXU. TILIGEAit TO TH1 DISPATaH.1 New Yobk, August 2.

The Advance sank within ten minutes. The Norge immedi ately lowered a life boat and rescued two of the dredger's crew who were struggling in the water. Captain A. E. Gould and 17 of the dredger's crew were picked up by the ' tug Reliance. The crew numbered 21 men all told.

This day has been most pleasantly spent by the distin guished visitors. This morning the Presi dent came over from Cape Slav Point to Congress Hall. It was between 10 and 11, while Secretary Blaine was at breakfast While the President was waiting, General Sewell and Enoch Pratt, the Baltimore millionaire, joined him. The President and Mr. Biaine then held an informal recep tion lasting some 20 minutes. They were several times applauded before they left the hotel in company with General Sewell, and drove off to the Presidental cottage at Cape May Point At 12 o'clock the steam launch Juno, of Philadelphia, left the steamboat Eepublic's wharf with the following on board: President and Mrs. Harrison. Secre tary Blaine,Mr. and Mrs. J. E. McKee.Baby McKee, Mrs. Eu'sell Harrison, Mrs. Dem inick': Kev. Dr. Sco ., General and Mrs. Sewell, Wm. J. Sewell the Misses Sewell, Eobert Sewell, Wm. J.

The party enjoved a niostpleasantglideoverthe. waters of the Delaware Bay, and visited the Dela ware breakwater inside of the stone wall which cost the Government millions of dol lars. During the excursion Mr. Blaine told freely his admiration for Cape May and ex pressed himself as very much in love with what he has seen of tbe place. It is possi ble, but not probable, that he and the Presi dent will reman longer than they expected at the Cape. The return to the steamboat landing was made at 4 o'clock. Mr. Blaine accompanied the President's family to the cottage where he will be a guest during the remainder of his visit To-morrow the President's family and Secretary Blaine will dine with General Sewell. prrrsBUBG capitalists Are Backing n Chicago Electric Railroad With a Great Future Before It. v (SrECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE PI8PATCK.1 CHICAGO, August 2. A syndicate of Pittsburg and Boston capitalists is backing the Chicago and Lake Shore Electric Kail way, for which a license for incorporation was taken out at Springfield to-day, with F. L. Brooeks, C. H. Remy and Gecrge O. Fairbanks, of this city, mentioned among the incorporators. But little is known of the plans and purposes of the electric company beyond the fact that the road will probably be commenced early this fall. Ground will first be broken on the Northside, and the road then rapidly pushed to completion to the northern limit of Fort Sheridan, 25 miles north of Chicago, on the Lake Shore. The line will cost in the neighborhood of $1,500,000. The articles of incorporation may mean either a surface or an elevated railway. The road opens a magnificent suburban district which has hitherto been neglected because of the vastly superior fa cilities for transportation on the Southside. STAMPED AS PBEMATUBE, Wheeling Manufacturers Know Nothing of the Glass Deal. rsrxciAi. TXLxanui to the disfatck.i Wheeling, August 2. The telegram published from Fipdlay, O., throughout the country, this morning, to the effect that an Englis't syndicate had purchased 31 table ware glass houses seems to have'been de cidedly premature according to Wheeling manufacturers, alleged to have been in" the deal. Colonel August Eolff, of the Central Glass Works, the largest in Wheeling, wno is men aging the works in the temporary absence of President Scott, said to-night that no purchase of a Wheeling plant had been made. He said that request had been re ceived from promoters of the deal asking for signatures on the works, and general infor mation as to the capital stock, output, value of worEs and capacity, bnt information de sired had not yet been furnished. Colonel Eolff did not cay such a deal would not be made, but did say that the matter was in an incipient stage, and no one could tell the probable result INDIANS WANT TO DANCE. If They are Stopped They Declare- They Will Fight. Pabis, Texas, August 2. The Govern ment authorities and the Iowa Indians have been engaged in controversy at Fort Sill for some time. It has grown out of an effort on the part of the Indian agent to prevent the annual snn dance of that tribe. The reason was that it demoralized the Indians and made -them bard to control. This seems to be exactly what they want, and they insisted. They sent to Goodnight's ranch, in the Texas Panhandle, for a buffalo, and their slogan was "On with the dauce." The agent was relentless and de termined to stop at all hazards the dance, but the Indians declared that they would dance or fight In order to enforce the order and prevent trouble, two companies of soldiers were sent to the reservation and everything is quiet at present. The Indians are sullen and say they will still dance. SUE TO A CABLE CAB. Horses Become Frightened and Hart the Driver Seriously. Four horses attached to a heavy wagon belonging to Booth & Flinn became lightened at a cable car at the corner of Center and South Highland avenues last evening and ran off. They dashed dqwn Center avenne, and when near the Catholic church the driver, William Langdon, pulled the frightened horses into a fence. He was thrown violently to the ground, receiving an ugly gash on the back of his head and also injuring his back. The horses were badly cut about the legs and bodies. The wagon was wrecked.

HEADING OFF HEBREW IMMIGRATION. Strata Talks of Abolishing Jndidat Transportation to Siberia. Emperor William is paying a visit to his royal cousin Leopold, and the pair are fixing np several matters of importance to Europe generally. Germany has taken measures to prevenfan influx of the He brews exiled by the Czar. Enssia claims to be about to abolish transportation to Siberia as a judicial punishment COPnQHTID 1890, BT THB HBW TOBK ASSOCI ATXD FBESS. Berlin, August 2. Before starting for Ostend, on his way to England, yesterday noon, Emperor William held a council on board the Imperial yacht Hohenzollern, which was attended by Chancellor von Caprivi and Ministers Miqnel and Mar schall. All three of the Ministers, accom panied by Herr von Bennigensen, who had been telegraphed for to confer with the Em peror on Thursday, returned to Berlin last evening. The Hohenzollern left Wilhelmshaven pre ceded by the squadron of evolution to con vey the Emperor to Ostend to visit King Leopold in response to the two visits he paid to the Court at Berlin. The political char acter of the meeting is undonbted. No con ference with a ruling monarch that the Em peror has yet projected has been a mere courtesy. The progress of General Brial mont's plans for a chain of frontier fortresses and the relations of the Congo State to German East Africa claim the attention of the monarchs. FOR SELF-PROTECTION. King Leopld, who is debarred from actual adhesion to the Triple Alliance, is as stronglv biased thereto as the Belgian policv permits. He knows that if disaster befell Germany in a war with France, Bel gium wonld have small chances of being spared by the French. The personal esteem of the monarchs added to the cordiality of their meeting. The Hohenzollern entered Ostend Harbor at 1:45 o'clock to-day. Immense crowds.in clnding a host of German and Enzlish visi tors, lined the quay. King Leopold, accom panied bv the Count of Flanders, went on board the Hohenzollern, and effusive greet ings were exchanged between the Kinjj and Emperor William and Prince Henry. The two monarchs then retired to the saloon of the Imperial yacht, where they remained in conversation for half an hour. PLEASED 'WITH HIS RECEPTION Afterward the Emperor went ashore, and after inspecting a guard of honor from the garrison, received the Belgian Minister and the staff of the German Legation. Afterthe reception the Kaiser and King Leopold drove in a carriage to the summer palace, followed by Prince Henry and the Count of Flanders. The whole route was densely lined by spectators, and the cheering was incessant Emperor William has tele graphed here that he was delighted with his reception.. Warnings had reached the Berlin police that the Anarchists of Liege, who are affili ated with the French Socialists,- nieanU to make a hostile demonstration and if possible to attack the person of the Kaiser. This in formation caused extra precautions to be taken, and a force of German private police assisted the Belgian police. Nothing marred the enthusiasm of the welcome. A ROYAL SLEEPING PARTNER. Upon their arrival at the palace Prime Minister Barnaert, Prince de Chimay, For eign Minister, and General Pontns, Minis ter or War, had talks with the Emperor. Ostend was everywhere en fete. In Brus sels the choral societies will give a concert in the Kursara, and the band of the guards will perform at the Casino. To-night there will be a torchlight procession, comprising military bands from Ghent, Antwerp, Namur and Brussels, and 1,800 soldiers bearing Japanese lanterns and other illuminated devices. Balls will be held and there will be a universal frolic till early morning. The local authorities ar ranged to have a numerous body of Brus sels police to assist them. The Emperor's visit to Ostend will terminate on Monday. Official expectation here will be quite at fault if the interview does not result in Belgium becoming a sleeping partner in the Triple Alliance. BANQUET AND PROCESSION In the evening a banquet was given at the palace in honor of Emperor William. Be sides King Leopold, the Count of Flanders and Prince Baldwin all the principal civil and military authorities and a number of ecclesiastical dignitaries were present No toasts were offered. After the banquet the Emperor appeared on the balcony and reviewed a torchlight procession. The people gave the Emperor a very enthusiastic reception. BTJSSIA IS HOT SINCERE. A Sir Scheme to Hoodwink tbe World on tbe Siberian Ontruget. Berlin, August 2. The Bussian papers announce that transportation to Siberia will be abolished as a judicial punishment They omit to mention the fact that it will be maintained as now without a judicial sen tence. The latest notable instance of this kind is the case oi the celebrated novelist, Glyeb TJspiensKy. He was arrested at night, being taken from his bed, and was confined for a month in a secluded prison. Any knowledge of his whereabouts was refused his friends for a long time. Finally they were told he had been sent to Sartov, pending the pleas ure of the police. It is supposed that his offense was writing a letter to the Czar in support of the memorandum sent his Majesty by Madame Tzebrikova. TJspiensky holds a high literary position in Enssia, where he is as prominent as is Daudet in France, or Haweils in America. This, however, availed him nothing, for he was treated as a common criminal. AMERICAN PHYSICIANS ABROAD.

He Admlti That tbe Government Diode a Mistake in Freientlns the Ucenilna Blll He Upholds England' Foreign Poller and Ridicules Gladstone. BnsaiiNGHAM, August 2. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain in a speech here to-night, said that the Government ha'd made a tactical mistake in introducing the licensing bill during a session that was crowded "witb business. The intentions of the Government, however, were good,and their proposals were reasonable and beneficent, and ought to have commanded the support of every temper ance man. The proposals had, in fact, secured the support of the moderate friends of temperance, but the Government had been balked by the unexpected hostility of the temperance fanatics who were repre sented by the leaders of the United Kinedom Alliance, and, above all, by the unexpected ed development of a party spirit that sought every occasion to damage the Government in power. He could respefct the sincerity of some of the opponents of the measure, bnt he could not say tbe same for their Glad stonian and Parnellite allies, because it was well known that the Par nellites were opposed to anything in tbe nature of even moderate temperance re form, while a majority of the Gladstonians was pledged to the hilt in favor of the com pensation of publicans. The Government erred in not foreseeing these contingencies, but the temperance people had made a greater mistake in rejecting an opportunity which might not occur again for many years. Mr. Chamberlain saw nothing to discour age the Unionists. The Government, he said, had conducted its administrative work with singular good fortune and success, and had raised England's iuflnence higher than ithad been for many years. Eventheopposi tion did not dare to impugn the foreign policy of the Ministry. He ridiculed Mr. Gladstone for raising a "No Popery" cry regarding the mission of General Simmons, and claimed that Lord Salisbury in sending a regular mission to the Vatican and his Catholic fellows had acted in a more honorable and straightforward way than if he had employed an amateur, Mr. .Errington, who might be rewarded with a Baronetcy or be disavowed later if party exigencies should require such an action. In conclusion he prophe sied that at the next session the taxes would he further reduced and free education would be made universal. NOT A VERY LAEGE WHEAT CHOP la India, Bnt no Serious Deficiency Reported In Any Province. tBT CABLE TO TBS DISFATCB.I London, August 2. The Eevenue and Agricnltural Department of the Govern ment of India has issued a final memo randum on the wheat crop of the season 1889-90, based on final provincial reports. The memorandum observes that throughout the wheat growing area the rainfall seems to have been both sufficient and. timely np to August or September, after which there was little or no rain except in March or April, "hen it was too late to benefit the crops. When sowing commenced the soil was un usually dry and was insufficiently moist when the crop was ripening. The sole ex ceptions to the above conditions were Bom bay, Karnatha, which had heavy winter rains, and Scinde, where an inundation of the Indus was extremely favorable. As regards the area and outturn of 1889 90 a comparison with the averages for the five years ending 1888-89 shows a tailing off of both area and yield in everv province ex cepting Scinde and Bengal. The latter is remarkable in exhibiting a smaller acreage, but a larger yield than the normal. Taking India as a whole, there is a decrease in the area of 1,500,000 acres, or 5.74 per cent, and in the outturn of 955,000 tons, or 13.16 per cent As regards condition ot stocks and probable exports, it is remarked that, gen erally speaking, stocks are not specially abundant anywhere. No serious deficiency, however, is re'ported froui any province. On the whole it will be safe not to expect a larger export, but there is no reason to fear further serious falling off. The ton men tioned in this report is S7 bushels ol CO pounds each. THEIR ROYALTIES SQUABBLING Over Who feunll be Placed Upon the Throne of Bulgnrln. Berlin, August 2. Family meetings will be held at Osborne to determine the question whether Prince Waldemar of Denmark or Prince Oscar of Sweden shall be placed upon the Bulgarian throne. Em peror William continues to favor Prince Oscar as the better choice, on the ground of his personal qualities. The Czar, hitherto opposed to having his brother-in-law the ruler of Bulgaria, now assents. The Greek royalties strongly object to Waldemar. King George has written to friends in the Danish and English courts that the election ot his brother to the Bul garian throne would raise a feeling of jeal ousy among the Greeks and would imperil the.Duke of Sparta's succession to the throne of Greece. The diplomats who are watching this family imbroglio probably hit the mark in attributing the Czar's choice of Prince Waldemar to keep the Balkan mess fer menting. KEEPING THE HEBREWS ODT. Germany Guarding Its Frontiers Against tbe Expected Emigration From Russia. Beelin, August 2. Orders have been sent to the frontier enstoms posts and to the railways in Poland to watch for tbe threat ened migration of Hebrews from Eussia. The new Enssian regulations, though not expressly aimed at the expulsion of the Hebrews, will tend to drive from the coun try vast bodies of artisans and the poorest farming Hebrews, who are largely settled in the frontier provinces. The leading Hebrew firms in Berlin, Hamburg and Frankfort have communi cated with representative Hebrews in London for the purpose of preparing relief for their distressed brethren. Letters from rabbis in Eussia mention September as the period l'or enforcing the regulations. The dread ot wholesale transportation to Siberia for failure to observe the edicts will impel the flight westward of many thousands of Hebrews.

TELEOEAM TO THI StSrATCH.1 Columbus, O., August 2. A public meeting under the auspices of the Thurman Club, a Democratic organization, was held here to-night to protest against the passage of the Lodge Federal elections bill. For several weeki the club has been engaged in drumming up the faithful Bourbons, and they endeavored to make It more than local in its character by securing the attendance of gentlemen of national reputation, but this was a signal failure. There was a crowd at the meeting, many of those in attendance being Eepublicans, who were present out of enriosity to hear what the speakers wonld say. It bad been Intimated that some of the speeches were loaded with dynamite, and this, with the sensational circulars that had been dis tributed through the city, resulted in bring ing out a fair-sized audience. THE OLD EOMAN ILL. Judge Thurman was announced as the presiding officer but he sent a letter stating that severe illness confined him to his house, and he could only dictate briefly his views. His place as president of tbe meeting was taken by Mnyor Brnck. Eeferring to the " bill Judge Thurman. said, I have endeavored to study the bill carefully and impartially, and the more ITiave studied it tbe more obnoxious it seems to me. 1 do really believe that it is tbe worst measure on tbe sub ject of elections ever introduced into an American legislature. Under the pretense of purifying elections it provides an elaborate machinery by which tbe will of tbe people may be overthrown and the choice o"f their so-called representatives be made bv a set of hireling and irresponsible Federal officials, chosen without any agency of the people, and acting under tbe orders of a superior set of dictators, whose terms of office wiil practically be witbout limitation as to time, and who will of necessity be a body of ir responsible partisans, and to support this ma chinery an immense fund, which it is said may amount to millions, is to be created to be drawn from THE PUBLIC TBEASUBY, tbat is from the pockets of tbe people, and to be used as a bribery or corruption fund to per petuate the rule of tbe party in power. Then tho bill, if enacted into a law, will serve to in tensify and perpetuate sectionalism and race prejudices, and to undo much tbat may have been done to put an end to those deplorable evils. Tbe doubtfnl constitutionality, to say tbe least, of aome ot the most Important provisions of the bill, and tbe immense and un precedented stretch of Federal power involved in it cannot fail to strike every student of the Constitution and alarm all who believe in tbe teachings and tbe practice of tbe fathers. I am not without hope that tbe bill will fail in the Senate. Ex-President Cleveland sent regrets at his inability to attend and alter tbe usual formalities, says: I desire to be entered, however, as one of the protestants. 1 wish the indications were not so numerous tbat we bave reached a stage of Congressional recklessness in which the pro tests ox tne people nave little weigni. A MISSIVE FROM BBICE. Senator-elect Brice, of New York and Ohio, could not be present, but he sent a letter from the East saying: While I regret I cannot be present I heartily approve the object of the meeting and beg to assure you and your association tbat I share yonr indignation and regard the proposed law as repugnant to Democratic ideas and full of danger to tbe republic Ex-Congressman Converse and Captain A. E. Lee made tbe principal speeches of the evening. Mr. Converse's argument was mainly devoted to an effort to prove that the bill was unconstitutional. Captain Lee, Minister to Frankfort under President Hayes, and one of the kicking Eepublicans of last year, held that the bill was not called for by the people and expressed the opinion that "it would rekindle sectional antagon isms. Much was expected of the speech of Gov ernor Campbell, bufit was a very mild affair. He claimed the bill to be a con spiracy to destroy the States that compose the United States of America. The pro moters of the measure, he said, would not TRY TO ENFORCE THE BILL - if it should become a law in Columbus. This would be done only where it was deemed safe. No member of Congress from the North would dare undertake to enforce all the provisions of the bill in his district. It would not, he said in substance, be safe to atteruft to apnoint National Supervisors, non-residents of the districts, to conduct elections in Ohio or other States north of Mason and Dixon's line. Eegarding the recent publication that Campbell would employ the State militia in opposition to the enforcement of the Lodge bill in this State, he said tbe whole state ment was a falsehood and that was all he had to say about it. M. D. Harter, df Mansfield, nominee for Congress, addressed the meeting briefly, and resolutions of protest were presented by Allen W. Thurman, and ' adopted, as follows: Whereas We, citizens of the State of Obio.regard local self-government and the con trol of our own elections as one of tbe cardinal and distinctive features of a free people, and believing it was never Intended by the framers of the Constitution of the United States tbat Congress should in any way interfere with or attempt to regulate Congressional elections, when such regulations had already been made by the States. A BESFECT FOB PRECEDENT. Whereas, We believe that any such interfer ence by Congress with the customs of our peo ple tbat have remained unchanged for a cen tury will be f ranght with the greatest danger, calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences, inevitably tend to diminish tbe belie! of the people in their power to govern them elves and thereby endanger tbe stability and tbe permanency of our insti tutious. Whereas, We believe the Lodge bill, lately passed by tbe National Honse of Representa tives and now pending In the United States Senate, has incorporated In the provisions all of these dancers; Whereas, We believe that instead of insur ing fair elections and an honest count, thai it is a measure under which the most outrageous and bare-faced frauds as are certain to be per petiated to promote and perpetuate party ascendency; and " Whereas, It enacted into a law and enforced its provisions cannot help but interfere with and put nnder control ot partisan United States appointees all of our local elections, promote sectionalism, and not correct, but only Intensify election frauds, and thereby be subversive of free institutions; and. Whereas, We believe that tbe appointment qt United States officers to control these elec tions, whose tenure of office is for life, and who are not in any way responsible to tbe peo ple, is sucb a radical departure from the tradi tions and enstoms of qur country tbat such officers should simply be considered as servants of the people, that this provision ot the Lodge bill cannot be too severely condemned; and THE JUBY PBOVI3I0N. Whereas, We believe and denounce as vil lainous the proposition of this bill which dis penses with our system pi choosing impartial juries and substitutes for it a system by which partisan juries may be chosen; Whereas, We believe that the legislative, executive and judicial branches of onr Gov ernment should always be separate and dis tinct, we look with horrornuon a measure which makes both the legislative and execu tion branches denendent noon tbe iudiciarv. and the judiciary made an instrument of par- 1 tisanship, oppression and corruption. And further, we believe that no Interference what soever with our State election by tbe general Government should be countenanced by any trno friend of onr political Institu tions, because of the dangers alluded to and because we most firmly believe tbat tbe intelligence, patriotism apd discriminating jus tice ot tbe American people in the States them selves, both North and South, will in tbe future, as they bave done in the past, be the most powerful instrument that can be employed for remedying any evils tbat may exist in our elec tion laws. Therefore be it Resolved, That we denounce tbe passage of this bill by the Honse of Representatives and most earnestly protest against Its enactment by the Senate. STABBED BYTHE FATHER. Bloody Xndins of n miter Fend Between Two Sontbiideri Yonnz Man Conrm n Girl and I Cat by tbe Anery Parent Both Men Arrested. Cries of horror brought Officers Toung and Chauning to the corner of Carson and Twenty-seventh street, Southside, shortly before 1 oclock this morning. John Gorman, aged 23, and employed as a rougher in a mill, was lying on the sidewalk in a pool of blood that flowed from a ghastly wound in his back a little above the heart Standing over him and flourishing a blood-stained knife was James Dolan. Both men were immediately locked up in the Twenty-eighth ward station honse, where Gorman's wound was dressed. His condition was pronounced serious by the attending physician, and his recovery is doubtful. A long and bitter feud has existed between Gorman and Delan which terminated in tbe bloody affray this morning. Dolan has been paying attentions to Gorman's daught er, and the father violently opposed the suit. Both men live in a row of houses at the foot of South Twenty-seventh street, and last night when they met on the street, some angry words were exchanged between them, followed by blows. Dolan whipped out a knife and stabbed the other. THE H0QTJIS DOWK EAST. How Indians Act Wben Introduced to Opera nnd Ice Cream. A few summers ago one of the surgeons connected with the Army Medical Museum was delegated to make a trip to the far West and witness the celebrat ed "Snake Dance" or the Moqui Indians, a ceremony of that nation which occurs everv three years, and look into its realism. Living rattlesnakes are used in this dance, and tbe careless manner in which the Indians handle them would astonishthe boldest "snake juggler" of the side shows. The doctor witnessed the ceremony and was very kindly treaied by all the big chiefs, and, in fact, all tbe tribe. Last week five of the head men of the tribe were on a visit to Washington for the first time, never even having seen a railroad train until they left for this city. They arrived in good shape, and the Army Sur geon determined to reciprocate the hospi talities he had received from them when in their country. Thursday night the doctor, with a few friends, had "the Moquis at the opera to see "Aniorita." The party occu pied two boxes. The Indians enjoyed the performance very much in a quiet way until the appearance ot the two little "coons" in the second act, when they be came so much excited that they attracted tbe attention of the whole audience. After the second act they were taken to the doctor's honse in the West End, where they were given a little feed of ice cream, etc. Never having tasted frozen milk be fore, it was a queer sfght to see them make way with it. Some could not get enough, and shoveled it in by the spoonful, while one old chief quietly ate his with a knife, spreading it on cake like butter, and any thing he did not care to eat would be pitched under the table, regardless of polished floor and Turkish rugs. After they had fed each one made a speech. THE STRENGTH OF MAJf. Cllmblnc a 7,000-Foot Moontaln Equal to Lifting 67 Ton One Foot. New York Ledger. J The energy exerted by the human body under certain conditions is astonishing. Suppose a mountaineer weighing 170 ponnds it making the ascent of a summit 7,000 feet high, from the point of starting. He has to expand an amount of physical force found by multiplying his weight by the height to be ascended. In tbe C23e assumed, a weight of 170 pounds into a height of 7,000 feet equals 1,190,000 foot-pounds; or in other words 1,190,000 pounds have to be lifted one loot. This is merely the work performed by the muscles of the legs; but, beside this tbe contractions of the muscle of the heart have to be tiken into acconnt. Assuming for the sake of simplicity in calculation only 100 beats of the pulse per minute, this would give 120,000 foot-pounds for the five hours supposeu to De requires, in ascenuiug a height of 7,000 feet. Assuming further, that the number of breathings per minute is on the average only 25, we have to add further work of 30,000 foot-pounds. The total work performed dnring five hours by a mountaineer consequently amounts to 1,340,000 foot-pounds. TO REMOVE GRANTS BODY. A Resolution lo That Efl ct to be Considered bv the Senate.

HUNGRY BUT PEOUfe Spencer F. Pritcuard, a Man of JIany Talents, but Few Friends, DIES IN NEW Y 0KK OF STARVATION An Actor at Whose Heels Hard Lack Was Closely Pressing;. K0T A SQ0AEE MEAL FOE P0DE MONTHS. The Actor's Fend Steps In, Bnt Toe Late taSne Bis Life. Spencer F. Pritchard, an author and1 actor, has died in New York literally for lack of food. He was too proud to make his wants known or to accept assistance. He had a varied career, but hard lack was always at his heels. New York, August 2. The death notice of Soencer F. Pritchard, anthor and actor, August 1, is published to-day. There are a great many pathetic circumstances sur rounding the death of Spencer E. Pritchard. Pritchard comes of the old theatrical family of tbat name. He wss born in Phil adelphia in 1847, and was a student at the ' University of Pennsylvania. He studied medicine, but never took his degree as M. D. He engaged in mercantile business ia Boston for years, and married in that city a sister of Lawrence Barrett, the eminent actor. The two children, the frnit ot the marriage, are in England to-day. Pritch ard's first wife died some years ago, and in 1883 he married Marti Crocker at Chicago. She was a soubrette, and died about two years ago, leaving an infant boy to her hus band's care. He was tbe author of a num ber of plays, which never becime promi nent His only sister, a Mrs. Williams, is the wife of a down-town broker, and lives inelegant style at the Grenoble apartment house. ONLY ONE FRIEND. One of bis friends, in fact the only friend he really had in this vast metropolis, the one who gave him shelter and administered to his wants during his last hours, remarked to a reporter this morning: "Poor Spencer, starvation and pride caused his death." This iriend was William J. Morrissey, at whose house Pritchard passed awav. "I met Spencer in a Third avenne saloon, f a week ago last Wednesday," said Mr. Mor rissey. "He was very sick, and I brought him to my house. He was suffering fear fully.and I notified the Actors' Fund. They sent Dr. Itaran around and he prescribed for the poor fellow, but he grew rapidly worse and died yesterday morning. Poor Pritchard told me nehad not actually eaten a good, square meal in four months. Ha was too proud to ask for assistance, and if you wanted to do him a favor and ha thought it was prompted by charity he'd refuse it. He has played in awful tough luck for the past two years." BAD LUCK FOLLOWED HIM. He had started out to fulfill a number of differentengagements with small companies, but they wonld invariably go to pieces on the road, and he would soon be back loafing again in New York. And yet he was the last man you'd ever pick out as really suffer ing for the verv necessities of life. Ha was always dressed very nicely and looked j the prosperous professional to the life. But he time and time again had not money enough for a decent meil or tbe price even of a night's lodging. He told when I met him ten days ago that he had been sleeping in chairs for several ni;bts. "The doctor said Spencer was suffering from kidney and liver troubles aisd he was afflicted with dropsy, too. It was not a case of drink causing his death. In ''alrthe--" years that I knew I never saw Pritchard drunk. He used to take a glass now and then, but that was all." ,The Actors' Fund will have the body buried in their plot in Evergreens. CARDS FOE THREE. A New Game Tbat l said to be Better Thaa Cut-Thront Encbre. Boston Courier. Everybody who plays cards knows how few games there are which are intended or adapted to three people. Now there is a new game called Threes. The cards rank as in whist, except that the ace is lowest and. the king the head of the suit. All the cards are used. Nine cards are dealt to each oi the threa players, three at a time. The eldest hand, having sorted his cards, names the suit he chooses for his. The second hand in turn does likewise, and then the dealer. The fourth suit is trumps. Tbe eldest hand leads, and whoever takes the trick leads until all nine cards are taken. The player mnst follow snit if possible, otherwise he may trump or discard at pleasure. The points tbat connt rfre the ace, the ten, and the two- spot. For each of these cards he fails to take in tbe snit be has named as bis the player forfeits one point. For each ol the aces, tens or two-spots in other suits which he takes, he scores one. The ace, ten and two of his own suit do not count for him, but he is obliged to take them or forfeit a point for each one which he lacks. When the nine tricks have been played the remaining cards are dealt; three, three, and two to each player, thus giving them, eight apiece. The odd card is faced on the table. The lead is with the player who took the last trick of the first deal in tho hand, but he must lead from the snit that has been" tnrned on the table. If he cannot, the lead .passes to the next player, and if necessarr to the next. If the card turned is a 'thir teener" the first player may lead from his suit; if he has none, the next player leads from his suit, and so on. The trick goes to whomsoever can take it by suit, or, in lack of a card in suit, with a trnmp. If the table card takes it, the trick remains faced until tbe end of the hand, when it belongs to the one who takes the last trick. In this case the lead remains with the person lead ing the table trick, as it is called; and the) player leads from any suit be chooses. The number of pointaia a gameis usually, nine, but the number may be changed at pleasure. The largest number ot cards counts one; each ace, ten and two-spot in a snit not that of the player counts one; each ace, ten and two in tbe player's own suit counts him nothing, but for each one that he tails to take he forfeits one point on his score. SAVINS THE DBOWBTNQ. An Expert Explains How to Do It and Hovr ' to Ride Waves. In aiding a drowning person, writes Clar ence Deming in an article on swimming ia The Christian Union, seize him firmly from, behind below the armpits, trying to prevent his turning upon you. If, in spite of yonr grasp, he seems likely to turn, swim two or three feet away, and try to grasp him be hind once more. Should he once seize yon firmly, strike him with a quick blow be tween the eyes. Then, when he is dazed, jerk yourself free, grasp him again, and "steer" him to shore, or support him until help comes. In surf bathing, if you are caught inthet undertow near shore, swim in near the sur face. Bnt if nrettvlarout from shore, swim; hisrh on the top of the waves and low in tho' trough.
