Tho pntlcnt was In deep sleep for for
ty minutes, although the operation last

operation the patient sntiR songs at tho
command of the hypnotist.
Tho operating surgeons were assist

riaclng his hand on the forehead of
lie patient, the hypnotist murmured:
"You nrc going to sleep deep sleep.
You nro sound asleep. Now go Rounder,
sounder, sounder. You nro going to
sleep deeper, deeper, deeper."
Lyons eyes closed, nnd it was eri
dent that he was under full control.
Tapping Lyons on the forehead aud
clasping one of his hands, the hypno
tist commanded: "Sny it will not hurt
me, hurt me, hurt me; I am numb,
numb, numb. I will suffer no pain,
no pain, no pain. You arc still In a
deeper sleep now, are you not?"
The unconscious man answered the
questions and repeated the words lie
was told to say. For an Instant the
strain which he was under caused tho
hypnotist to gasp. As he called for n
glass of water ho pitched to the floor
In a faint. It lasted for only a second,
and he was helped to n stool at the
head of his subject and immediately
regained the control.
"Some one struck me," murmured
Lyons, nut his rcmnrk was cut short
at the command of Loutzenhelser, wlu
told him to sing.
"Sing that song you sang for me

KNIFE CHANGES HIS NATURE.
Famous Convict Who Reformed After
Operation to Be Paroled.
Incarcerated In the state prison at
Marquette, Mich., for more than twenty-two
years, Redmond llolzhay, thu
best known and the most remarkable
man in that institution, will be releas
ed on parole in November, 1913. His
release at that time is made possible
as n result of legislation enacted last
winter which extends the benefits of
the parole law to convicts undergoing
Ufo sentences.
llolzhay was known as "Rlack Bart"
when taken to Marquette from Gogebic
county, where he had been tried and
convicted for the murder of a Wiscon
sin banker. Fie was illiterate and pos
sessed a record as a desperado and
stagecoach and train robber. Ho gave
the prison ollicinls much trouble dur
ing the first few years, but following
a. surgical operation his character
changed completely, aud he became a
model prisoner. lie has since been a
student He has given himself a good
education. For years he has been tho
prison librarian nnd photographer.
llolzhay Is the only one remaining of
the first 1,100 persons serving terms
in the penitentiary. He is forty-five
yenrs old and la in excellent health.
SUFFRAGE ORATOR AT NINE.
Daughter of Tennessee Governor Is
First Suffragette Heard at Capital.
Little Miss Anna 15. Hooper, nine-year-old
daughter of Governor Hooper,
has the distinction of delivering the
flrst equal suffrage speech over made
in the Tennessee statchouse. It was
all of her own planning.
Appearing at the capltol, she mount
ed the rostrum of the house and deliv
ered herself as follows:
"My Fellow Citizens I come plead
ing for you men to let the women vote.
Do you believe in the way Mrs. I'ank
hurst is trying to got votes? No, I do
not I do not believe In smashing up
the windows, but I do think you ought
to let us vote. Why shouldn't we
help to make tho laws of our country?
Tho ignorant men are allowed to vote,
but tho educated women are denied
this privilege. This Is not right, aud
every sensible man knows it."

WHAT ARE THE
RECALL A!
Measures That Have Been
Adopted In Some States
In this Country.
WHAT aro the initiative, the ref
erendum and the recall?
Thuy aro words In every
body's month Just now, but
a pretty fair proportion of those who'
talk nbout them have a vague Idea of
what they mean. t
Summing them up, they may be said
to be three instruments whereby the,
representative system of government
so long In use in this country will bu
considerably enfeebled nnd the people
will obtain n more direct control nnd '
muuagciueut of the government than,
they have over had. State after state '
la adopting one or all of these new
measures When the nineteenth cen-1
tury closed only one state had the Inl- j
tlative aud referendum. Now many
states have it. The recall did not come ,
Into existence in America until llXKi, 1
but now the country Is dotted with
communities whero it is in force nnd
is actively used. j
All these threo propositions are im
portations from Switzerland, where the ;
Initiative and referendum have been In
force for half n century, thu recall uot
bo long.
Fundamental Principles.
The states and cities that have adopt
ed these Swiss innovations have varied
r.nd altered theiu to suit the local taste,
eo that a definition of the referendum
as it exists iu one state does uot al
ways desTibo the same law In another.
But the fundamental principles are
usually the same and may be summed
up as follows:
The Initiative. If a certain percent
age of voters wish a certulu law adopt
ed they can submit it to the legislature,
which must in turn submit it to a ref
erendum. The Referendum. If a certain num
ber of voter- demand an opportunity
to vote upon a bill the legislature must
submit It to them and the people de
cide by a vote whether it shall or shall
not become law. just as in New York
btate ihey vote upon an amendment to
the state constitution. The referen
dum can be demanded not only on
bills previously pmpocd by the initia
tive, but upon bills which have their
origin In the legislature Itself.
The Recall. If a certain percentage
of voters demand the right to decide
whether a public otliclal shall continue
to hold office or must retire to private
life the question must be submitted
to the people at an election. If they
vote against him he must give up his
office, whether the term for which he
was elected Is anywhere near Its end
or is just beginning.
"The Initiative." said Henry Jame
Ford of Princeton university in an ad
dress before the Economic club of Bos
ton, "means simply this that sections
of the people themselves shall have the
right to initiate legislation and to so
licit for It the approval of their fellow
citizens. Tho referendum means that
If the legislature passes a measure
that measure shall be referred to the
people before It becomei a law."
In Oregon.
And In Oregon the governor has no
veto power over measures enacted by
the people themselves.
The operation and purpose of the
Initiative and referendum were ex
plained In a clear and lucid manner
by the highest court In Oregon In a
case known as Oregon versus Pacific
States Telegraph and Telephone com
pany, 53 Ore., 102. Said the court:
"By the adoption of the initiative
and referendum into our constitution
the legislative department of the state
is divided into two separate and dis
tinct iuwmuking bodies. There re
mains, however, as formerly, but one
legislative department of the state. It
operates, It Is true, differently from be
foreone method by the enactment of
laws directly through that source of
all legislative power, the people, aud
the other, as formerly, by their rep
resentatlves but tho change thus
wrought neither gives to nor take
from tho legislative assembly tho pow
er to enact or repeal uhy law except
In such manner aud to such extent as
may therein bo expressly stated.
The powers thu reserved to
the people merely took from the legis
lature tho exclusive right to enact laws,
at the samo time leaving it a co-ordl
nate legislative body with them. This
dual system of making and unmaking
laws has become the Fettled pulley of
tho state and so recognized by dec!
slons upon the subject"
South Dakota First to Adopt.
South Dakota was the flrst ntnte to
adopt the initiative and referendum,
and Its laws on tho subject are regard
ed as models of the kind. The South
Dakota constitution originally provided
that "tho legislative power shall be
Tested in a legislature which shall con
sist of a senato and a house of repre
sentatives." This was amended by
adding a provision that "tho people
expressly reserve to themselves the
right to propose measures, which
measures tho legislature shall enact nnd
submit to a voto of tho electors of the
state, nnd also tho right to require
that any laws which tho legislature
' may have enacted shall be submitted

fore going into effect, except such laws
as may be neccssnry for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health
or safety, support of the state govern
ment aud Its existing public Institu
tions, provided that not more than 5
per cent of the qualified electors of
the state shall be required to Invoke
either the Initiative or tho referen-1
dum." 1
When 5 per cent or moro of the vot-'
era wish to use the referendum on any
law passed by the legislature In that
state they file a petition with the sec-1
rotary of state within ninety days aft
er the adjournment of the legislature.
The law must then be submitted to i
the people. As will be seen from the
quotation Just given from the consti
tution, thl'i R per cent can also propose
legislation through the Initiative, which
they do through a petition to the leg-1
islnture. That body has no cliolfe. It
must submit to n referendum the law
thus proposed through the Initiative.
If tho result of the referendum is fa
vorable to the proposed law It goes into
effect at once.
Besides this state wide referendum,
local laws nnd ordinances In the cities
and towni of South Dakota aro sub
mitted to the voto of the communities
affected by them. In San Francisco
the initiative and referendum are in
force, but it takes 15 per cent of the
voters to invoke the Initiative.
It Is generally assumed that the
adoption of the initiative nnd referen
dum would lead to more radical legis
lation. However. Dr. Edwin E. Slos
son, writing to the Independent from
Switzerland, where he has been a spec
tator at a referendum electiou, ex
pressed tho opinion based on what he
had 'observed that the electorate was
more likely to err In the direction of
conservatism than of radicalism. He
wrote after seeing the referendum wipe
an old age pension law off the statute
books three months after it had been
enacted.
Recall In Los Angeles.
The recall had Its American begin
ning In Los Anrreles. where It was
Inserted In the city charter in 190S.
The clause providing for it announces,
"The holder of any elective office may
be removed at any tlmo by the elector
qualified to voto for a successor of
such incumbent." If 2o per cent of
the voters petition for tho removal of
such an officer tho petition is filed with
the city clerk. It must contain a state
ment of the reasons for which the offi
cial's removal is sought.
The city clerk has ten days in which
to ascertain If the petition contains th'e
requisite number of signatures, and
upon his certificate to that effect the
city council must order an election
within from thirty to forty days. Un
less the accused official requests other
wise in writing his name must be put
upon the ballot as n candldato to suc
ceed himself. The candldato receiving
the highest number of votes, whether
It Is ho or nnother, takes the office.
A Curious Case.
The other cities that havo followed
Los Angeles' lead havo modeled their
recall laws after hers as a rule, though
some of them require as high a per
centage of voters as 30 or 40 to make
tho demand. Oregon in 1003 adopted a
constitutional amendment making ev
ery elective officer In the state, "from
constable to governor" and, of course,
including Judges, subject to the recall.
In that stato tho reasons for the recall
of the official must be stated within
200 words, and he Is allowed the same
space In which to defend himself.
A very curious case came up In Ore
iron last year in which a circuit Judge
named Coke wns made tho subject of
a recall petition because of his conduct
of a murder trial. Tho defendant was
acquitted becauso of the judge's charge,
and the petition for Coke's recall
charged him with "giving unfair and
erroneous Instructions as to tho law."
Thus the laymen of Douglas county.
Ore., were nctuully asked to pass upon
a Judge's knowledge aud Interpretation
of the law, not of tho facts.
RANK OF AMBASSADORS'WIVES
King George Makes a New Court Rule
In Favor of Mrs. Whltelaw Reid.
An Interesting change In court pre
cedence has been ordered by King
George, whereby the wives of am
bassadors will take rank with tholr
husbands, nitherto tho wives of am
bassadors to the court of St. James
had no rank of their own. If they
appeared nt court unattended by their
husbandt they were obliged to take n
low position In tho procession, coming
after tho Junior ministers.
The continued indisposition of White
law Held, the American ambassador,
as well as tho illness of the Marqul
Imperial!, tho Italian ambassador,
placed the wives of these two diplo
mats In n delicate position. At tho
last court Mrs. Held refrained from at
tending, and the presentations of
American women wero made by the
Countess Benckendorff, tho wife of
the Itusstan ambassador, who is the
doyenne of the diplomatic corps.

CANNING OF KISSES ?
A COLLEGE STUDY.
Feminine Students at Chicago Univer
sity Add New 8olanee to Currieulum.
Tho University of Chicago Btudcnts
made an Important addition to tho
curriculum. It has been a long time
since the co-cducatlonnl Institution ha
Had a real sensation, and sevon of the
co-eds decldod to start one. So they
ruled that the university could Intro
duce a new science osculography.
The others wcro informed that a
clique of leap year aspirants In Bos
ton had Invented the science which,
after all, is quite simple. It consists
of Imprinting on a whlto card an im
pression In rouge of one's lips. It la
the "canned" kiss.
"Now, we'll stnrt It," resumed the
dean of tho Impromptu meeting of the
curriculum committee. She fumbled
blushlngly and produced a little rouge
pot, removed the top and ndroltly cov
red her lips. Then she drew n plain
white card from n case.
"Smack!" came a sound, and the
dean held up the card. On It wns
a neat Impression of what five young
men, so 'tis said, have declared the
prettiest lips on the midway campus.
"Oo-ooh, what n prettah thought!"

"Well." said No. 3, "I never, never,
never used rouge before, but In the In
terest of the university I will this

Three cards lay on the table. The
other four were quickly osculographed.

GOVERNMENT TO RAISE MINK.
Commercial Test Planned to Improve
Fur Producing Trade.
The biological survey of tho agricul
tural department has secured the co
operation of the National Zoological
park In experiments in breeding mink
for the purpose of ascertaining the pos
sibilities of rearing them in captivity
for commercial purposes. This has
never been attempted by the govern
ment heretofore, but It Is hoped by the
combined efforts of the two organiza
tlons something of practical impor
tance can be accomplished. The fact
that the mink Is n native of the Dls
trlct of Columbia gives promise to the
undertaking.
The main object Is to secure data rel
ative to the best methods of rearing
mluk for their fur, especially ns to de
tails of housing, feeding, mating and
caring for them. Some simple pens
havo been constructed in tho zoo for
about six of the nnlmnls In order to
start the experiments, and additional
ones will be built as occasion demands.
The mink for these experiments will
bo trapped in the District, if possible.
It being considered preferable to ob
tain specimens which havo their habi
tat in that locality and are already ac
climated rather than to bring them
from a distance. Should this prove
impossible specimens will be purchased
from other localities. A few Individu
als have been secured already from the
vicinity of Washington, but the officials
having tho enterprise in charge say
they are not looking for results as yet.
WON'T TRAIN WOMEN.
School of Journalism Rules Them Out
Flatly, For the Present at Least.
Women will not be admitted to tho
Pulitzer school of Journalism at Co
lumbia university when It opens for
students In September next.
The ruling that women are to be ex
cluded was made by tho advisory
board of the school, which is headed
by Whltelaw Held. The committee
discussed the proposition as to whether
women should be admitted for some
time at Its last meeting and finally de
cided that the best Interests of the
school, for tho tlmo being nt least, de
mand that tho courses be open to men
only.
By excluding women from its classes
in Journalism Columbia Is not estab
lishing n precedent, for excepting in
tho summer session no women are per
mitted to take courses In the Colum
bia school of law, and the snme Is true
at tho College of Physicians and Sur
geons. At tho latter place women are
allowed to attend lectures, but they
are not permitted to register for a de
gree and follow out the course to the
end.
No women have been admitted to
Columbia college In more than twenty
years.
