PENNSYLVANIA TO BLAZE THE WAY Citadel of Republicanism to Uphold Protection. TO ANSWER "SIDESTEPPERS" Stalwart Citizenship of Keystone State Will at the Polls Indorse the Action of Penrose and His Colleagues In Congress In Defeating La Follette and His Free Trade Allies. [Special Correspondence.] Harrisburg, Sept 21. Republicans of Pennsylvania have accepted the challenge of the oppon ents of a protectice tariff and propose to assert themselves at the coming election by rolling up a great ma jority for the Republican ticket In the recent tariff debates in Wash ington men of the type of La Follette, Dolllver, Cummlngs and others who voted with the Democrats against the Payne bill, warned Senator Penrose and his stalwart Republican colleagues from the Keystone state that they "would hear from the people at the next election" if they did not desist in their efforts to pass the measure as agreed upon by the protectionists. That the people of Pennsylvania, who are benefited more than those ol any other state, intend to indorse the action of their Republican representa tlves in congress upon this subject at the November election Is manifest upon every hand. For Great Popular Vote. It is proposed that there shall ba such an emphatic vote of approval ol the policy of protection that the whole world shall have reason to know how Pennsylvania stands upon this issue. One-very side there are evidences of a revival of business due to the pas sage of the tariff bill. Mills that were closed for years are being reopened, fires are being rekin died in many an Idle furnace, many thousands of coke ovens which were long black and silent are now ablaze and roaring joyous notes of prosperity for labor and capital alike. Steel mills and similar plants are working on full time. Labor Is generally employed. The great textile establishments lo cated In various counties of the state are again busy with a splendid outlook i for the future, the shipyards along the Delaware are taking on new men | daily, not only to help build the great j Dreadnoughts, which the federal gov ernment has just contracted for. hut j to also help construct new craft for the merchant marine, which is already I feeling the gratifying effects of there- j vival of trade and industrial activity. As a practical evidence of apprecia tion of the work of Senator Penrose in the framing of the tariff bill, and es pecially his magnificent services in j guarding the interest of his constlt- i uents of the Keystone state, a series of j testimonials will be given him next | month. First, the workingmen of Kensing- I ton. the great textile district of the Quaker City, propose to give expres- 1 sion to their admiration for his special ! efforts in their behalf. During the en- j tire discussion of the tariff schedules Senator Penrose kept in touch with a committee of the wage earners of tills section, and they were advised as to j every move of those advocating a reduction c' duties which would have meant disaster to the manufacturing l Interest of the country. A delegation of women employed in the mills of Kensington, it will be re called, made a pilgrimage to the na tional capital to combat the campaign of the society women, who were seek ing reduced duties In order that they might purchase foreign-made goods. Tributes to Penrose. At a meeting called by the Working men's Protective Tariff League of Philadelphia for Oct. 7, not only will the men of Kensington attend in great numbers, but thousands of women em- ; ployed in the textile mills have re solved to turn out to cheer Senator Penrose. There will be speeches from men from the various mills, and possibly one or more of the women will bo given an opportunity to address the gathering and to tell what they know of the work of the «t?»tor and his Re publican co leagues in the senate and house at Washington A call has just been sent out to the manufacturers of Pennsylvania, sign ed by some of the most representative mill owners in the state, who are ar- j ranging a testimonial banquet to Sen ator Penrose to be given In the Belle vue-Stvatfoni hotel in Philadelphia on Oct. lfi in recognition of his service to his state and the country In champion ing the cause of protection to Ameri- . can industries. This promises to be a memorable oc- i caslon. While these gatherings will be in no i sense political, they are indicative of 1 the feeling of the people of Penns.vl- i vania upon the issue that has been i squarely drawn by the socalled "down- ; ward revisionists" of the La Follette j school of western fr»e trade theorists. 1 The importance of a heavy Republi can vot« throughout Pennsylvania next November is being dwelt upon by business men and others who were barrassed through unsettled condition! during the tariff agitation. They reallz« that should the Repub- i Mean vote In this state in November be ' small it would at once be commented I upon by La Follette and his coterie i and pointed to as a verification oft their predictions that "the people" i would be heard from. t Not only would this be taken as an i expression of disapproval of the work 1 of the Republican congressmen from Pennsylvania in support of protective i policies, but It would at once give en- i couragement to the opponents of pro- 1 tection all over the country to reopen I the tariff fight and to sel»k to elect t congressmen next year who would vote "SOONTALKTD DEAD" i So Declares Bishop Samuel Fal lows of Chicago. "TELEPATHY ESTABLISHED." Prominent Divine of Reformed Epis copal Church Says He Never Saw a Spirit, but Has Known People Who Have Seen Spirits—New Science of "Immortal ism." "Telepathy is uu established fact. In | recent years great strides have been i made in the explanation of psychic ; phenomena, and in the years to come | the science of communication with the | dead will be made a part of the curric | ulum of great educational Institutions. I As its study becomes systematized and I more widely spread greater advances will be made, aud some day we will talk with the spirits as we now talk with material persons." This statement is made by Bishop Samuel Fallows of the Ueformed Epis i copal church. lie is well known In ! Chicago, where he resides. J Future advancement in the science S of "immortallsm," which is spiritual j Ism with the "fakes" left out, will some day bring it to the point where ' it will be studied by the masses just | as they now delve into Latin, arithme : tic, geography or grammar, according to Bishop Fallows, who spoke at St Paul's Reformed Episcopal church on "Why Am I an linmortalist and Not a Spiritualist?" Tiie bishop made startling statements to the writer. lie frankly states that he formerly fought shy of spiritualism and that he is just beginning to learn. In the enlightened days to come, says Dr. Fallows, we shall be able to con verse With spirits of departed friends and relatives. Their state will be made known to us through these communi cations. They will be able to advise us on knotty problems, he adds. Hasn t Vet Seen a Spirit. Bishop Fallows quotes a speech of Dr. Adam Clarke, in which that cele brated commentator said: "X believe that spirits may, accord ing to the order of God, in the laws of their place of residence, have Inter course with this world and become vis ible to mortals." "Did you ever see a spirit?" Bishop Fallows was asked. "No, I never have,"was the answer, "but I know persons who claimed to have seen and talked with spirits, in telligent members of my own congre gation, whose words I have no reason to doubt "1 discouraged them in their belief. 1 now feel that their experiences were of great value and that I sustained an incalculable loss by not going deeper into the matter with them." "You really believe, then, that spir its may be visible to material persons and that they may talk with and influ ence a material mind?" he was asked. "I do firmly believe that. There are well authenticated cases on record where important actions of noted men had beeu influenced by some super natural communication. "Mysterious Agencies." j "In many cases they were unable to j Identify the mysterious agencies. They | had merely an intangible feeling that j they should change their course. But ! in other cases they were able to re member the spirit who talked to them, to repeat its exact words and to de ! scribe its appearance. These instances | cannot be doubted, as they come from | men high in their professions. "There are great truths in spiritual ism. Many spiritualistic phenomena we cannot understand, but we have to idrnit them. 1 have called the new 1 science "Immortal Ism' because it de- I [lends for its existence upon the im mortality of the soul, In which we all believe, and the preservation of iden tity beyond the grave. Immortallsm Is simply spiritualism with all the frauds and trickery eliminated. On account of these frauds spiritualism has been shunned by many right thinking peo ple, but Immortallsm will claim their most earnest attention." In support of his belief Bishop Fal lows quoted from many eminent men who have expressed similar views. Men must sail while the wind serv eth.—Dutch Proverb. Japs to Outdo Dreadnought. The Japanese government announces Its intention to build cruisers of 30,000 tons. The Dreadnought Is only of 17,900 tons, the super-Dreadnoughts 20,000 tons or less; the British Invincible class of cruisers are 17,250 tons. The biggest ship talked of for the United States navy is to be about 25,000 tons. A 30,000 ton cruiser would be In the class as to size with the greatest At lantic liners, the Mauretania aud Lusi tania alone excepted. A Fertile Desert. A unique series of experiments in Atneri -an country life is now being conducted in the Imperial valley, m southern California. What less thau twenty years ago was sheerest desert has been made to blossom like a gar den since the advent of water in th« irrigation canals. The country is be ing experimented with to find what it won't raise. Dates and Angora goats and figs and cnntaloupes have proved successful, ami now even cot ton Is being raised. to change the tariff and thus spread chaos and disaster in every business and industrial center. The farmers, who are among the main beneficiaries of the new tariff act, whose products hare been protected from Canadian and other foreign com petition, and who with labor and capi tal employed everywhere, find a ready and a profitable market for everything they have to sell, are taking a deep interest in the present pc!Wcal situa tion. Reports from every county in Penn sylvania are to the effect that the far mers will be found supporting the full Republican ticket In November and that they will see to it that their votes shall be cast on election day, M«v. 2. NEW ERA IN OCEAN TRAVEL The Lusitania's Transatlantic Record Forecasts a "Three Day Boat." The sensational transatlantic record of the steamship Lusltnnln marks a wonderful advance in oceanic travel. In crossing from lightship to lightship in 4 days, 11 hours and 42 minutes she opens the era of the "four day boat" Now the nautical sharps are figuring just how soon a "three day boat" can be built. Never before has man crossed the Atlantic so quickly as did the passen gers who stepped ashore from the giant Cunarder. They had clipped a day front the ocean "barrier. They had set a new standard for speed. They had smashed all previous records for transatlantic travel. They were the first voyagers to leave London on Sat urday and Queenstown on Sunday and arrive in New York on a Thursday. Science, skill and unlimited expend iture have been striving for a quar ter of a century for tljg prize cap tured by the Lusltnnln. The six day boat set the early records more than twenty-five years ago. The five day boat came along ten years later.

Aim Is to Make the Establishment the Center of Aerial Racing and Experi mentation In This Country—How th» Automobile Track, Five Miles Long, Will Be Built. Before another year has gone by New York city will have within fifteen : minutes of its downtown section not alone the largest and finest automobile nice track in the country, but also a fully equipped aviation park for the trying out and racing of aeroplanes j and other air craft. The proposed au j tomobile race track will he live miles long, aud its estimated cost is between .$2.50ij,000 and $3,000,000. The aim will be to make the park the center of all aerial races and test ! in this country. A syndicate, of which I*. S. Parish, ; president of a realty company, is the head, which includes Arthur Alexan der and George Robertson, winner of the last Vanderbilt cup race, and Worthington M. Jacobus, a New Jer sey civil engineer, has obtained an option on 400 acres of land on the Ilackensack meadows, lying between the Newark plank road and the Penn sylvania railroad tracks, on which it is proposed to build the park. A num j ber of well known automobile manu facturers are also interested In the project, their interests being looked after by Messrs. Robertson and Alex j ander. The land is at present only partly developed; but, according to the terms of the option, the selling company agrees to fill In and improve the prop erty. Mr. Jacobus has drawn the i plans of the track, every bit of which | will be within the view of the spec ; tators in the grand stand. The latter I will be a huge structure, capable of seating close to 100,000 persons. He has also completed plans for couven i iences required by the experimenters i and racers with airships. The track j itself will be built from the sugges | tions of Robertson and will consist of tin oval shaped two mile course for I speed racing, surrounded by a three ; mile course which, with the former, will be used for road racing. On the outer track, directly opposite the grand stand, will be n series of hills nnd curves, including a hairpin turn, on which It is expected a thorough test of the cars in the races will be had. One of the proposed hills will bo 120 feet high, with a 12 to IS per cent grade. Coming Into the straight, the course will be slightly downward, and It is expected that a speed of 100 miles an hour will be attained by the racing cars. Several plans for the safety of both the spectators and the drivers are also under consideration, the one meeting the most favor and the most likely to be adopted being the build ing of the track a foot or two below the surrounding ground, the latter to be banked with thick layers of soft sand, so that if a car should suddenly, because of some accident to the steer ing gear, swerve from the track it would quickly be brought to a stop without Injury to the driver or the spectators who might be near by. Plans for financing the project are well under way, a number of well known automobile manufacturers hav ing pledged large sums of money for the purpose. Plenty of Dogs, but Few Babies.

POISONING GROUND SQUIRREL Results of Tests In California to Kill Destructive Animal. j Interesting results were recently an | noutired by the forest service as a re- I suit of the campaign conducted in I southern California by Stanley E. | Piper, expert of the biological survey j of the department of agriculture, to ex- I terminate ground squirrels and go ! pliers. ! Extensive experiments were made to I determine the best means of killing off these destructive little animals, and it was found that the most effective re j suits were obtained by usftjg poisoned green or ripening barley heads. The j squirrels are exceedingly fond of this I green herbage and eagerly ate the pol ! soned food placed along runways, j Tests were also made with oats, wheat, j barley, raisins, prunes, dried apples I and cracked corn, but these did not prove so successful. While green barley proved most suc cessful for poisoning ground squirrels, yet the difficulty of procuring a suffi cient supply in all localities led to dried barley grain being tried. The grain was treated with strychnine sul phate, saccharine and eggs, and, al though this combination proved very ' destructive to the squirrels, it had I practically no effect upon doves and i quail. In fact, a deliberate attempt was made to poison these birds at their watering places, but no bad ef fect resulted. The poisoned grain was also used in fields grazed over by sheep and produced no ill effects what ever. The experiments also proved that gophers were partial to raisins and dried apples, and these were success fully used in the poison experiment. It was found that by sprinkling the ap ples or raisins with the strychnine so lution as effective results were pro ! duced as could be obtained by insert ing the poison into the fruit. The experiments for extermination of squirrels also resulted in the death of a considerable number of rabbits, and in other experiments it was found that poisoned oats proved very effec tive In killing both Jacks and cotton tails. Green alfalfa was also used with good results for the same purpose. PAULHAN, FRENCH AVIATOR. Winner of World's Record For Dura tion of Flight at Rheims Meet. Louis Paulhan, the French aviator who recently won the world's record for duration of flight at the aviation meet in Rlieims, France, is twenty-six years old. While still a mechanic In the workshop where the dirigible Vlile de Paris was constructed two years ago he won a prize for a toy aeroplane at M. Lepine's toy exhibition. The prize was an aeroplane offered by Vol sin, and it was in this machine that Paulhan made his great flight the other day. When he wou the prize Paulhan ex hibited it to his friends, but as it had no engine and he was not rich enough to buy one it was of no use to him at that time. A few friends, however, formed a little company, bought a mo tor and sent Paulhan out to give ex hibition flights. Ills experience accordingly dates from the beginning of July of this year, when after a very few practice flights he exhibited his machine at Doula, where he reached the record height of 400 feet, lie also flew for 1 hour 32 minutes. Later on he exhib ited the aeroplane at Dunkirk, where he won some $2,000 In prizes. Paul han Is married and has one child. Men's Dress. According to the opinion of Mr. Thornton, who presided at a recent conference of the foreman tailors of London, men's dress will soon undergo a great change and the present styles will give way to "more classic" gar ments. Knee breeches and fancy waistcoats will l»e Introduced, and the superiority <>f these garments over to day's long trousers and waistcoats will insure their popularity. A Itusslan nobleman who visited London a few weeks ago said that he eared little whether the style was Introduced or not: he would i.'dopt It. Two things were necessary, he said, "shapely calves and courage." lie took with him forty-eight waistcoats made of various patterns of embroidered silk. HYPNOTISM CUBES NERVOUS DISEASES How Philadelphia Lawyer Recov ered From Asthma. PHYSICIAN WRITES A REPORT Man Made 111, In Doctor'* Opinion, by "Auto Suggestion"—Must Have the Patient's Consent In Order to Effect Relief Through Mental Suggestion. Used In Hysteria and Neurasthenia. That hypnotism has been used suc cessfully for several years In the treat ment of many cases of nervous disor ders, though never without the knowl edge and consent both of the patient and of the members of his family, has become known after the publication in the Journal of Psychology of a report presented by Dr. Charles D. Fox of -120 Tine street, Philadelphia. The particular case with which Dr. Fox's report dealt was that of a law yer, designated only as Mr. X., who. Dr. Fox said, had been cured of asth ma by hypnotism, but Dr. Fox admits that the science of mental suggestion is used frequently and effectively in many cases that come to the nervous department of the Hahnemann hospi tal, Philadelphia, with which he is con nected. "It should be understood," said Dr. Fox, "that hypnotism is used only in selected cases where there api>enrs to be no pathological condition to account for the illness and which therefore of fer no opportunity for the employment of ordinary methods of treatment. It has proved especially valuable in treat ing various forms of hysteria and neu rasthenia and In curbing and curing alcoholism and morphinism. Must Have Person's Consent, Questioned as to the extent to which hypnotic influence should dominate an other's will, Dr. Fox emphatically laid down the proposition that it is impos sible to put a person in the hypnotic state without that person's consent, lie intimated that in his opinion any plea that a crime had been committed under hypnotic suggestion was absurd unless the person hypnotized had de liberately submitted his will at the outset to the control of another, but In his account of his treatment of his pa tient, "Mr. X.," be gave remarkable instances of the extent to which sug gestions made while the patient was in a hypnotic state had been carried out after the patient bad returned to his normal condition. On one occasion it was suggested to X. while under the hypnotic influence that exactly S7O minutes later hp should ! »>k at Ills watch and write down the time as if for reference. Just ST.') minutes after the suggestion was made 1'.., who at that time was in a perfectly normal condition, yielding t>> a sudden and uncontrollable Im pulse, took out his watch and recorded (lie time. The difference of three min utes. Dr. Fos thought, might have been due to a difference In the time of the different watches. On another oc casion X.. having been told while in the hypnotic state that he would be alone In the room, absolutely failed to recognize the presence of another phy sician. Dr. Kulp, though Dr. Ivulp. after X. had been restored to his nor mal condition, spoke to liim repeatedly and even took him by the hand. 11l Through Auto Suggestion. Mr. X., tlie lawyer, is described as thirty-eight years old. For several years he had suffered from asthma, and since 1000 the coughing attacks, which usually came on at night, were succeeded by a condition like that of somnambulism. The patient, while ap parently rational and in full posses sion of his senses and.for instance, as was proved by experiment, able to play an excellent game of chess, be came unusually loquacious, discussing his private affairs most freely, but after an interval in which he regained his normal balance he remembered nothing of what be bad snld or done. Dr. Fox became convinced that the coughing attacks and the somnambu listic periods that followed them were due to auto suggestion superinduced by the fumes of asthma powders which, It was learned, tho patient frequently had inhaled until he fell asleep. "Tho experience of falling asleep having occurred many times," says I)r. Fox in his report, "a psychic short cut became established, and the more high ly elaborated auto hypnotic or somnam bulistic condition began to appear fol lowing a severe cough, even without tite asthma powder having been used The consequence was tho result of as sociation of Ideas. The beneficial re sults of suggestion during the hyp notic state became apparent imme diately following his first treatment. On his second visit the patient said he had slept deeply three nights out of five without having been awakened bv an attack of asthma. While tinder hypnosis tho second time the sugges tion was made that paroxysms of coughing and somnambulistic attacks would never occur again. "Since Mr. X. came under my care," the report goes on, "ho has been hyp notized only eight times. At present he sleeps well without being awakened by asthmatic attacks, and Instead of having paroxysms of coughing when he arises In the morning only a few coughs occur. In fact, he now has no paroxysms whatever, and since the first treatment he has not had a single one of any of his various somnambu listic attacks." The Monkey Versus the Rose. Alfred Frampton, P. R. I. B. A., a well known Londoner, has written an open letter, in which he says: "The time has arrived when the royal botanic gardens and zoological gardens should be amalgamated. "The zoological gardens should be Increased in area to receive the botan ic gardens. It would be a great public benefit to have the gardens of the flora and fauna side by side. "A monkey is a much greater attrac tion than any rose ever will be. The zoological gardens are much mqrc pat ronized by the million than are the botanic gardens, and consequently the financial results follow suit."
