Before Aubrey- Bouclcault left New
York he attended a performance given
by Santanelll. the hypnotist, who has
just astonished the medical faculty by
placing a man In a hypnotic sleep ror
seven days and seven nights. During
that time the man took neither food nor
drink. After the performancs Mr.
Bouclcault was taken on the stage and
Introduced to Santanelll. The doctors
had Just relieved each other of the
watch at the bedside of the sleeping
men. Santanelll asked Anthony Boucl
cault whether he believed In hypnotism.
"Perfectly; certainly, was the reply.
"It Is a power that w all have to more
or less extent. It only needs develop
ing. What people call magnetism In
actors Is only n form of hypnotism.
Hypnotism Is nothing more nor less
than suggestion. Nothing would hap
pen In life were It not for suggestion.
The art of acting is founded on sug
gestion. ' To prove what I say I will
take one of your subjects and hypnotize
him." i .
Ha did so. and while in the hypnotic
state the subject ierformed many of
the same things that Santanelll had
made him do earlier In the evening. Mr.
Bouclcault added several of his own,
which keot the doctors In a roar of
laughter. Bringing the subject to,
young Bouclcault ' walked down, and,
looking at the subject that had been
sleeping for seven days and seven
nlchts. he said. "What a benefit this
would be to some actors during the
summer, if they han't to pay board,
and with a quiet laugh he strolled out.
'I 11 11 , .,,
St. Clair McKelway, at the Daly din
ner the other night, responded aptly to
the toast, "The Theater and the Press."
Among other things he said:
"Both appeal to the public evory day.
The stnge, however, can have runs,
nml In this case the longer the better.
The newspapers must be new every
morning, and renewed every evening.
The stage pictures cither past or con
temporary life; the press must apply
life just as It Is und just as it finds It.
The stage Is primarily devoted to simu
lation; the press has been accused of
habitual dissimulation. The stage Is
essentially personal. The actors as
sumo the parts of characters. The sue
cms of the representation depends
upon their abilities or representation
for advancement. The press la dls
tinctly impersonal, so far as its work
ers are concerned. The stage can have
Its writings done for It, clothed up, ab
breviated or elongated. The press
must do Its own writing for Itself as It
gors along, as the exigencies of space
and time require. The stage selects Its
own tragedies, its own dramas. Its com
edles. The press must take life as It
finds it, deal with It as It Is, always
with truth. I hope, which Is the tnten
tion to be accurate not possibly al
ways accurate, because of the creative
function of subsequent evidence, or the
discovery not known at the time of an
tecedent circumstances. The stage
can frame Its pictures, garnish them
with scenery, with costumes, with
properties, and can Illumine and en
liven its productions with what on the
boards is technically called business or
appointments. The newspapers can do
very little pointing up of that kind
Illustration does play a potent part In
journalism, but only on the simplest
scale, only In response to the quickest
demands, only In pursuance of very ele
mcntary forms of art. The stage can
select Its writers as well as Its sub
jects. The press must assign Its work
ers at random to tasks. They may or
may not be fitted for those tasks: the
discovery of that question can only be
lett to experiment or experience. Those
workers themselves cannot tell what
the subjects, If they are simply sketch
writers, to which they are assigned will
turn out to be. They cannot tell when
they bring their matter down to the of
fice whether they can have much or lit
tie room In which to offer It.
II H II
"However, actors and newspaper
wruters are alike in several respects.
a company ot niramatic artists and
company of newspaper workers are sev
eral parts of one stupendous whole. In
both professions they are artists In pro'
portion to their fidelity to the general
design, to their loyalty to the common
purpose, to their attachment to the es
tablislunent with which they are con'
nected to their capability, to their ca
pacity, whether in the creation and In
furtherance of a character or in the ad
vocacy of n cause, to let the truth of
their function burn at fever heat in
their minds, while self sinks below rero
in their conscientiousness. The stage
can represent plays as they ought to
be. The comedy and the tragedy of hu
man life In the press must be pre
sented as It Is. However, In both the
spirit In which we work Is the chief
matter. The dramatic worker must
strive towards the accomplishment bv
tne contrtoution or nis talents, of the
moral motives of the production. Tho
press worker must strive In telling his
story of crime to make crime not at
tractive, but repulsive: in telling his
story of suffering to make it appeal to
the heart of Humanity. The medium
In which we work subdues the hand of
the worker, but It Is the spiritual med
lum In which we work and not the ma
terial or sordid consideration as the In
complete reward at the end of the toil
Newspapers and the stage are alike In
this. The best are the best, the worst
are the worst. The worst may have
the largest Immediate revenue, but be
lleve me, that the duration of the best
is the longest, and that not only the
moral, and social, and spiritual, but
the temporal reward of the best Is cer
talnly the surest In the long run. All
hail to the coming of the legitimate
drama. All hall to tho going of the
Illegitimate press! The police, with pro
priety and public approbation, suppress
the Illegitimate traltlc. When it trans
cends the bounds of decency It should
have its exchange In that moral police
force of public opinion which would
expel unclean journalism from the
home, which would withdraw from un
clean Journalism the support of the
mercantile and financial Institutions.
and which would put upon press work
as upon dramatic work, as upon pulpit
work, as upon art work the crown

CUSIIING'S DISAPPOINTMENT.
Ultherto fnwrltten Incident in the Career
rf a Gallant Nnvol Commanders.
For The Tribune.
While the United States ship Montlcello
was scaling boilers In Heaufort, N. C,
the dispatch boat from the fleet off Fort
Flrher, N. C, came and reported a Iron
clad ram had scattered lliu fleet. Com
mander Cushlng was on shore. About 2
o'clock In the afternoon the brave young
seaman came on board and as soon aa his
feet were on the Montleullo's decks his or
ders rang out: "Tell tho chief engineer I
want to see him at once. Stop scaling
boilers; call your men out. Put on man
beads; All the boilers with water; get up
steam as soon as possible; It is reported by
dispatch boat that a ram has scattered
the fleet!"
Mr. Hadfeld hoisted the union jack
for a pilot and- orders were issued to
crowd on all steam and to get out to sea
as quick as possible. We got to the licet
in the night off Fort Fisher and euily
next morning got under way for Western
Pass, sixty miles around Prying Ian
Shoals, und on our arrival Cushlng called
for volunteers. Among those who re
sponded were Ollleers Charles A. Pettit,
William L. Harworth, Churlen Croion, C.
A. Martlne and W. H. Cull, and men to the
number of forty-one. We got Into the llrst
and second cutter and our young com
mander Into his own gig. By the way, the
ollleers and men had to joke a little, say.
tag our commander had rum on the brain.
Well, to the point: We let go from the
ship and pulled uway In search of the rum
with mullled ours; pulled past Buttery
Buchanan und.Smlth Island, up to Smlth
vllle In searelPof the ram and found no
signs of one. On our return we hugnml
bank, going out to sea from Smith vllle,
and when near Fort Caswell the bouts
were stopped by signals agreed on before
starting on this expedition. HlKht close
to Fort Caswell we all thought we saw
the ram, with sloping sides ond smoke
stack in center. Cunning says: ".Now,
men, I don't say go, but, men, follow me,
and remember this night is the twenty
first of February on the eve of General
Washington's birthday, tho Father of our
Country, and let every man distinguish
himself now. Mr. Call, with your division
of thirteen men board on starboard and
take possession qf hatch and engine room
as soon as possible."
I won't say all my thoughts Just then,
only "good-bye Scranton," was upper
most as the order came: "The first cut
ter will starboard bow and take possession
of the two forward ports, and the Kls
board on starboard quarter nnd take pos
session of the two after porta. Now, give
way, men!" and as we got nenr we could
see the guards pacing to and fro on their
beat.
What was our disappointment to find
that the supposed ram was only a flat
roof shed, with a big derrick sticking out
the center for landing stoves from Wil
mington, N. C.
Then we crossed the channel and land
ed on Smith Island, about 300 yards from
the battery containing as reported 800 or
900 Confedrate States of America soldiers
wanting to do damge of some kind. Just
at that time the moon began to raise out
of the water and there was an alarm at
the fort and wo got Into our boats nnd
pulled for the ship, thoroughly disappoint
ed that It was not possible for us to ac
complish anything. I think this is a hith
erto unwritten episode In the life of tho
brave young commander, W, B. Cushlng
