A Clerk Bound and Gagged and 9. Jewelry Store Plundered. A Danbury, Conn.. despatoh says: The most daring robbery ever committed in this town took place this evening while on the streets hundreds of people were stirring. Soon after 6 o'clock two men entered Larnes' jewelry store on Main street and inquired for a monogram which was ordered a'few days before. The only clerk in the store at the time was Clarence Knox, 18 years of age. As he turned to get the monogram one of the men grabbed him from behind and choked him almost to in- lensibility ; the other man forced a gag made of stone, covered with a handkerchief, into Knox’smouth, and threw him to the floor. The robbers then bound his hands and feet tightly with ropes, and proceeded to ransack the store. Knox, lying help. less on the floor, could hear them as they went through the show case and selected Inch goods as they could take away. They carefully picked out solid ware, leaving the plated untouched. They secured diamonds, watches and other jewelry, valued at be- v tween $9,000 and $10,000, from the safe, which was unlocked, and also $700 in money. It took buta few minutes to do the work, after which the robbers departed, making their exit through the rear win- dows, climbing a fence bordering on Dayley street. A cabman was standing near by. One of the men approached him with the story that they were medical students, and wanted to be driven to Mill Plain, a small town a few miles distant, in all haste, as they had to perlcrm a surgical operation. 0n arriving at Mill Plain they paid the cabman and started away. Fifty-Five Bodies Recovered and Many People Malmed. A San Francisco despatch says: At Osaka, Japan. 65 people were drowned June 1581). during the launching of a new sailing vessel. The launching excited con- siderable interest, and about 250 people crowded on board the beat. The owner, Mr. King. however, became apprehensive and ordered 100 of them ashore. When the launch began it was ebb tide, and, as the ropes used in securing her were too short, the vessel keeled. The people on board immediately rushed to the other side, which had the effect oi turning the vessel completely over, and those on board were thrown into the water. A terrible scene followed. Those on shore gave every assistance possible, but their efiorts were generally unavailing. Fifty-five bodies were recovered. About twenty persons were more or less injured. spectators along the route loyally saluting the Royal yarty as they passed.

To all intents I ignore the existence of all past treaties on the French shore question this year. I am carrying out the modus vivendi, and shall do my duty regardless of conse- quences." Regarding the chances for a final settlement of the French shore ques- Bir Baldwin said: “The whole story has been exaggerated.

Competition in Sealing Likely to Bring Down the'Pi-ices. The San Francisco Chronicle states that the Alaska Commercial Company, which, until recently, had the exclusive right to capture seals in American waters of Behring Sea, has now secured a contract with the Russian Government granting them the exclusive right to capture seals on the Siberian coast. The number of seal to be taken yearly is not known. but is believed to be very large. The steamer Kr. rink, owned by the company.hes recently sa. .ed for Petroffsky to capture seals there. The competition of the Alaskan Commer- cial Company will be very severe for the North American Commercial Company, which was recently awarded by the United States the sealing privilege in Behring Sea, and it is believed the efiect will be to greatly reduce the price of seal skins. It is just as well that the Carnival held in Toronto last week turned out a farceâ€" an expensive farce certainly but all the same a farce. Had the thing succeeded the authorities might have been tempted to repeat the performance. As matters stand we think every rational citizen, except per- haps the hotel keepers and a few others who made money out o! the affair, is quite willing to go out of the carnival business. Supposing it had succeeded of what use would the dis lay have been to any human being except t e law who were interested in it financially. To speak of such tomfoolery as advertising the city is pure nonsense. There were not twenty people in Toronto last week who do not know as much about the city as they care to know. Perhaps some of them now know a good deal more about the Ontario Capital than they wanted to know. Supposing Toronto had shown to the world that the city can get up a carnival what good would that have done Toronto? The thing shown is that the city can't get up a carnival. Perhaps that is about as creditable a thing to show as that it can. What is a carnival anyway '2 j ~0anada Presbyterian. The commission appointed by the Ontario Government to examine the question of prison reform should give some attention to inequalities in the sentences passed upon prisoners. The subject has recently been discussed in England, and will bear investigation in Ontario. It may be quite true that the inequalities that startle the public are sometimes more apparent than real. It is also true that the judge who tries a prisoner ought to know better than any one else the nature and extent. of the punishment he deserves. The benefit of the doubt should always be given to the man who does the work and has to bear the responsibility. But admit- ting all this the fact remains that to the average man, who presumably has com- mon sense. sentences do often seem very unequal. One prisoner seems to be treated leniently, while another, so far as the public can punished with marked severity. not at all probable that l the public are always wrong in their judg- ment, and it is equally improbable that judges are infallible. If this is a question that the Ontario Government have power to handle, the commission might do a much worse thing than spend some time in looking into it.â€"-Ganada Presbyterian. THEY WERE AFTER.

But the story. To a lady who has shown her repeated acts of kindness she thus re- lated it : My father was a paokman in the city of Cork, Ireland, and ever since I left school, when I was 16 years of age, at which time my father died, I have carried 1 a pack. My mother also carried a pack. ‘ We had our regular routes; people were kind and wealthy patrons favored us so 1 that we made a good living and were Very ‘ comfortable. Ah, it was a bad day for me when I married a pensioner! 0! course I only saw happiness ahead, but how difler- ently it resulted l Instead of him being a bread-winner for me I found Ihad taken another to support, and sick or well, as long as I was able to trudge, I have had to tramp with my pack and earn a living ior myself and him too. Even when my children were born I had but brief ex- emption from the work. His pension of £20 was but a means of furnishing him with drink, and when he was drunk I lived in constant terror. Abused me? He beat me beiore we were married a month; he has almost been the death of me at critical periods of my life, and in twenty-three years I have become so accustomed to curses and blows that they do not hurt me as they Once did. Just a. faded liltle old woman on the shady side of 50, living with a little 10- year-old girl in a single upstairs room in a Hamilton ienement, and eking out a pre- carious subsistence by selling odds and ends of sma‘lwures, which she carries in I. pack or hm, ‘s in a child’s waggon. Her husband is doing time in the city jail, and circumstances, never too encouraging. have by reason of his profligsoy and her mis- fortunes, forced her to give up the list-la house she was wont to call their home and seek lodgement at a rental that she could meet.

I did not resist ; I thought from what I heard that we could make a good living (and we could it he would work) and that my three girls would have a better chance. My husband sold his pension gmd-will for £80, and we came to Hamilton about eighteen months ago. We did not find it what I expected. My busi- ness is not what it was where I was born and raised ; but if we had the little money for the pension and my husband would work and save his earnings we might be happy. 'It cost us quite a bit to get here, and when we came to the country we had 8200 in cash. My husband took 325 out of that, and for a while played the lord among fellow passengers. He gave me $10, but afterwards got it away again, andâ€"well, I and the girls had a hard time of it. When we reached Hamilton he gave me 370 to furnish our house, out 0! which I saved $20, but that, too, disappeared irom my purse. The last $100 he also drew irom the bank and got drunk and was arrested and fined. I had no money, but I knew he had $85 of this sum some- where, so I went and told him to tell me ‘where it was that I might get enough to pay his fine and save him from going to Jail. He refused. Soon after he came to the house with a policeman, and while he went into the bedroom the policeman kept me out. I knew my husband took the money away; I knew it he got drunk I would never get a cent of it for the tamily, and I followed him to a grocery store and found him there with the policeman. I reproached him with his conduct and asked him for money. I suppose the policeman thought he did right, but I never was so humiliated before or since; he grabbed me and shoved me out doors. Only 15 cents of that money ever came into the house. My husband insisted I had it, but not a penny of it did I handle. Where did it go ‘2 Who knows? And so it has gone on. Then my oldest girl married a man who turned out a bigamist, fled, and as if to make it all the harder she sticks to him and has lelt the country to follow him.

He came home with a few cents in small change. Rent was behind. fuel and food were scarce ; my daughter who worked out gave all she could to help us, but times were hard enough with it all, and whenever he took it in his head we had to send for liquor for him to avoid being beaten. At last he came home drunk, and because he did not get supper as soon as he wanted it, ‘ he threw a butcher‘s knife at me. Yes, an ugly cut. The doctor said if it had been a little further back on the neck it would have killed me. Well, my girl said that ‘ was the last straw, and ii I did not prefer a , charge she would stand by me no longer. _ He got sixty days.

K. 6mm}: when he slowly climbed the steps into hf“ pulpit yesterday morning in St. John 3 Presbyterian Church. For some time pal“ the size of the congregations in the various churches has been gradually diminishing. and in looking about for the cause the reverend gentleman decided that it was, in his opinion. largely due to the presence of the Sunday newspapers in the homes of those directly under his pastorate. The small number of people in attend- ance was evidently a sore spot to the pastor, for he became very vehement in his denunciation of the practice of remain- ing away from church and the habit 0! reading the newspapers on Sunday. The subject of the sermon was an exhortaticn to those who were present to do more to aid in the work of Christianity, and espe- cially to lend their assistance in filling up the church on a Sabbath morning. He began to surprise his hearers by declaring that he might be able to fill the church all by himself it he would condescend to preach sensational sermons or deal in the various topics of the day, but this was a species 0! progress with which he did not sympathise and emphatically declined to adopt, brand- ing it as un-_Christian-like. 1 , a -~ â€"â€" -* r r . The worshippers straightened up and listened with unaccustomed interest to the pastor who would not preach in a sense- tional way. Raising his voice, the speaker made an appeal to those present to assist him. He said : “ You should all oi you refuse to read these newspapers. You should all oi you refuse to have those newspapers delivered at your homes. A determined effort should be made to try and put them down so the pews of the churches may no longer remain empty and one of the greatest enemies of Christian application be removed from your homes and your lives, for the com- getition between the church and the Sun- ay newspaper is growing dangerous." Having thus denounced in a loud tone of voice the alleged enemy of a full church, Mr. Smith turned his attention to what he called the enemy of the prayer-meetingâ€" the theatre. On this head he dropped his emphasis and took up sarcasm. He said, strangely enough, that he did not denounce the theatre, but intimated that church members who went to the theatre on i prayer-meeting nights might be in better 1 business Denounced by a Former Gan: Clerryman as an Enemy to the church.

THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER A Missionary Murdered. a large-limbed Frenohwomau, young, comely and apparently of the peasant class. She was of a phlegmatic tempera- ment, dreamy-eyed, and generally what we would call a weak-willed woman. This description corresponds to that of the ng called mediums of the spirits, at least to those I have found at all worthy of atten- ‘ tion. The operator was a very positive person, a slim, wiry, keen-eyed Mephisto- helean Frenchman. The woman was ressed in a white gown. with short sleeves, leaving her arms hare almost to the shoul- der. When she took her seat the operator name where I stood, about twenty feet or more away from her. He simply asked her to look into his eyes, he looking into hers at the same time. In a moment she was fast asleep, with her head sideways and her arms hanging listlessly down. We separately desired the operator to cause the patient to do certain things, such as lift a hand or finger or cross or rearrange her feet. Though no word was spoken or whispered to the sleeping woman, and though we were all at the opposite end of the room, she obeyed every command of the operator’s silent will. When it came to my turn to test the experiment I took the operator right back to the door, quite forty feet distant from the leeping girl, and there I whispered as low as I could in his ear something like this : “ Let her raise her right arm, comb her hair with her fingers, and then take hold of her left hand ‘ on her knee.” The operator never opened \his lips nor moved from the spot, but he lstsred piercingly at his patient and in a few seconds she performed the movements. I had requested, slowly indeed, but without a failure in any point. ’“ri'iié person I savv'éxperimented upon was I l l l Thrustlng a Scarfâ€"Pin Into nPstlent's Flesh Without Causing the Slighteet Pain. The doctors of London and Paris are getting excited over the merits of hypnot- ism. The few believe it to be an immense gain and a blessing to science; the major- ity are either actively hostile to it or quietly skeptical to the claims set us on its behalf. It requires a bold man to a. vacate the cultivation of the hypnotizing power, or gift, as will be seen from what follows : Dr. Ohsrcot, the eminent professeur de clinique at the Hospice de Seltpetriere in Paris, is bold enough to publish in the fullest way the particulars 0! the experi- ments he has for a long time been making. So is Dr. Milne Bramwell, a physician in Gocle, England, who willingly shows his experiments to scientific investigators. I will relate my own experience of hypnotism. practiced in the presence of a. number of medical and other gentlemen in London, following this with some of tho doings of the two hypnotists named above, and then give some of the facts relating to the prac- tice and the proportion of those able to hypnotize nnd_be hypnotized. ~ SOME VERY REMARKABLB EXPERIMENTS Doctors of London and Paris Getting Bx- cited Over Its Merits. To prove the soundness of the girl’s sleep and her insensibility to pain while in it, the operator borrowed a scarf pin from a spectator and thrust it right through the fleshy part of the upper arm so that the point stuck out an inch. She was then made to extend her arm and walk around us for close inspection, which lasted ten minutes by the watch, a feat which few strong men could do without letting the arm drop, even without a pin through it. There was no blood, and when the pin was withdrawn and the girl restored to con- aoiousnees she told us she only felt as thoughflshe hud_be_ep prloked slightly. Dr. Charcot divides the action of hypno- tism (which means the state of perfect sleep) into three stagesâ€"first, lethargy; second.cata1epsy, and third, scmnambu- lism. On the recent visit to his place of an investigation Dr. Charoot produced “ a young woman of 24, stoutly built. with a bright and intelligent face. She was a highly hysterical subject, habitually iu- sensible to pain on the left half of the body.” Dr. Charcot showed this by pick- ing her with a pin on each side. She was hidden to gaze intently on a point near and above her eyes, when she soon went of! into unconsciousness, and the doctor closed her eyelids. Now the probe could be inserted anywhere without any signs of pain. By touching certain muscles various actions were mechanically performed by the limbs and fingers and muscles of the face. Then the doctor pressed on certain tendons of the leg, the result being the stiffening of r the whole body ; so rigid was she that the doctor could place her head on the back of a chair. and her heels on the floor without the girl falling. The second or cataleptic stage was in- duoed by the forcible opening of the girl’s eyelids. resulting in a stare as of entrance- ment. In this state the girl was made to believe everything and anything. A gong was struck and she was told it was a church bell, upon which she struck a de- votional attitude. A bit of red glass was put before her eyes with the information that the house was on fire. and at once she became frantic with terror. A number of other experiments followed, which most of us have seen done in exhibitions of mesmerism during the last thirty years; but whereas most of those vulgar perform- ances were impostures, these hypnotic manifestations are undoubtedly genuine. The third or somnamhnlistie stage was induced by rubbing the girl’s hair on the top of her head. She now saw things around her as they were, but the reasoning power was deranged.

Amid the universal grayness that has settled mistily down upon English fiction, amid the delicate drab-colored shadings and half-lights which require, we are told, so fine a skill in handling. the oldJashioned reader misses, now and then, the vivid coloring of his youth. He misses the slow unfolding of quite impossible plots, the thrilling incidents that were wont pleasantly to arouse his apprehension, and, most of all, two characters once deemed essential to every novelâ€"the hero and the villain. The heroine is left us still, says a writer in the Atlantic, and her functions are far more complicated than in the simple days of yore. when little ‘was required of her save to be beautiful i as the stars. She faces now the most intri- cate problems of life; and she faces them with conscious self-importance, a dismal power of analysis, and a robust candor in discnsing their equivocal aspects that would have sent her buried sister blushing to the wall. There was sometimes a lamentable lack of solid virtue in this fair dead sister, a pitiful human weakness that led to her undoing; but she never talked- so glibly about sin. As for the here, he owes his banishment to the riotous manner in which his masters handled him. Bulwer strained our endurance and our credulity to the utmost; Disraeli took a step further, and Lothair, the last of his race. perished amid the cruel laughter of mankind. But the villain 1 Remember what we owe to him in the past. Think- how dear he has be- come to every rightly constituted mind. And now we are told, scberly and coldly, by the thin-blooded novelists of the day that his absence is one of the crowning triumphs of modern genius that we have all grown to. discriminating to tolerate in fiction a character whom we feel does not exist in life. Man, we are reminded, is complex. subtle, unfathomable, made up of good and evil so dextercusly intermingled that no one element predominates coarsely over the rest. He is to be studied warily and with misgivings, not classified with brutal ease into the virtuous and bad. It is useless to explain to these analysts that the pleasure we take in meeting a character in a book does not always depend on our having known him in the family circle or encoun- tered him in our morning paper, though, ‘ judged even by this stringent law, the villain holds his own. Accept Balzac‘s rule and exclude from fiction not only all which might not really happen, but all which has not really happened in truth, and we should still have studies enough in total depravity to darken all the novels in : christendcm.
