Mr, Teller Continues His Speech in the Senate a Lively Discassion With Mr. Higgins and Others Over Prices. After the presentation of a few belated petitions in favor of the free and unre- stricted coinage of silver Mr. Teller (Col) suggested the absence of a quorum. The roll was called and only thirty-six Senators (seven less than a quorum) answered. At 11:15 forty-five Senators had responded to their names and business was proceeded with. House bill to transfer the Morris Island life saving station, near Charleston, S.C., to Sullivan Island was reported back from the committee on commerce and placed on the calendar. The silver purchase repeal bill was taken up and the Vice President stated the ques- tion to be on the amendment to {t offered by Mr. Peffer (Kan.), revising the free coinage act of 1837. Mr. Teller Continues His Speech. Mr. Teller (Col.) adressed the Senate in continuation of his speech begun some time ago. He laid down some general proposi- tions of monetary law applicable to the fall in prices of commodities. The entire world Was suffering, he said, from a financial de- pression which began in 1873 and which had continued ever since. It was pertinent to the pending bill to determine the cause of that financial disturbance, the burden of which was unusual and abnormal.

Young Satterfield Said to Have Caused the Accident on the B. and 0. Judge Miller in the Police Court today endeavored to ascertain who was respons- fble for the wrecking of the engine, the freight and baggage car of the Frederick train on Saturday, September 9, at the New York avenue crossing. The fireman on the train was also badly injured. De- tective John Lioyd of the railroad com- pany investigated the case and he had ® boy named Charles Satterfield arrested. The boy is twelve years old and is known gmong his companions as “Tough Satter- Beld.” Superintendent Alvey of the railroad company described the wreck and told of the finding of what is called a “fish plate” or “angle rail” beside the track near where the accident took place. This piece of iron presented the appearance of having been run over by a train. The train went of the track on the high side of the curve in- stead of down the 2-foot embankment on the other side. most important witness was Lemp — Martin, =r as having put the “fish plate” on the track. He said he did not Teciguans him at the time, but two days later he met him and he (Satterfield) said: “’Twas me that by it, and if you tell on me I'll bust your Witness was near Jesse Norton's watch box at the time. The boy was a square a@way at the time he saw him put the rail on the track and he called to him to stop. Witness did not take it off the track, as he wanted nothing to do with it. The boys afterward had a quarrel over a game of marbles and each blamed the other for the accident. Then it was that Mrs. Fales, grandmother of the Martin boy, questioned the latter about the affair. Mrs. Fales was the first one to give the detective information about the affair. He called to see her about some other depre- dation, and before he could explain his mis- sion she told him of this affair. Satterfield said he didn’t mean to do it, said Mrs. Fales and in the next breath he denied it. The defendant made a complete denial of the charge, and attempted to account for his movements on the day of the accident. His mother said that she was the mother of eight children, and that none of them had ever given her any trouble like this before. Jesse Norton was sent for and questioned, and he cotradicted what the other boys had a boy who identified the The boys were recalted several times, and Judge Miller said he thought it necessary to continue the case and let the officers make a further investigation and bring in ail the boys. “This is a serious matter,” said the judge. “and it ought to be fully investigated. 1 want to find out all about the affair, as somebody ought to be punished.” The case will probably be disposed of to- morrow. + reer Ap Editor's Mistake. From the Richmond Star. The editor of a weekly journal lately lost two of his subscribers through accidentally departing from the beaten track in his an- swers to correspondents. Two of his sub- eribers wrote to ask him his remedy for thefr respective troubles. No. 1, a happy father of twins, wrote to inquire the best way to get them safely over their teething, and No. 2 wanted to know how to protect his orchards from the myriads of g-ass- hoppers. The editor framed his answer upon the orthodox lines, but unfortunately transposed their two names, with the result that No. 1, who was blessed h the twins, read. in reply to his query: “Cover them carefully with straw and set fire to them, and the little pests, after jumping about in the flames a few minutes, will speedily be settled.” While No. 2, plagued with grass- hoppers, was told to “Give a little casto: ofl and rub their gums gently with a bone.” NEARLY KILLED. Henry C. Mockabee a Wi ruck by a Train. About 11:15 o'clock this morning the Rich- Mond express train on the Washington Southern raflroad, due in Alexandria soon after 11 o'clock, struck near Northwest Alexandria a buggy in which rode Henry C. Mockabee and Wm. H. Lacy of Wash- ington, knocked the men 20 feet, broke the buggy and Killed the horse. Lacy has one leg and arm injured and Mockabee is hurt about the head. Both have received medi- cal assistance and no fatal result ts appre- hend lam Lacy Prceentt arate Knew All About It. From Trath. Willis—You have my sympathy, Wallace.” Wallace—“What's up now?" Willis—“I saw your wife go into an auc- present financial condition. Overproduction, | overtrading and a variety of other excuses half an hour and without transacting any | had been made, while the real cause was business, they adjourned till 8 o'clock to-| plainly in sight. That cause was the broken link between gold and silver.. The fall in prices was the result of the rise in gold. A Long Discussion. A long discussion grew out of a question put by Mr. Higgins (Del.) as to how Mr. Teller could reconcile his argument that the demonetization of silver had tended to establish a lower range of prices with the fact that the prices of corn and pork have not fal'en, but have remained proportion- ately high. Mr. Teller accounted for the occasionally high price of pork by the fact that that price was largely artificial—stim- ulated by speculation in the Chicago board of trade, where the price had gone up in one day as much as 39 a barrel. The price of corn had been governed by that of pork, which was one of its products, as farmers, instead of sending their corn to market, fed it to their hogs. Those two products, therefore, had been to some extent with- drawn from the ordinary law of supply and demand. This view of case was also taken by Mr. Washburn (Minn.), who, with several other Senators, took part in the discussion. “Wheat,” Mr. Teller said, “is cheaper to- day in the United States, in England, France and Germany than it ever has been before. It has never sold in New York city so low as it has sold in the last ten days— from 66 to 70 cents a bushel—the best wheat from Minnesota and the Dakotas.” “What we complain of is the monetary condition that produces low prices. The American farmer produces wheat and other proaucts at the same cost and subject to the same taxes as he ever did, but he gets less for it.” Mr. Higgins asked if Mr. Teller was in ac- cord with the democratic side of the cham- ber in its position favoring cheap prices of everything. But Little Difference. “I am sure,” Mr. Teller answered, “that I do not know what the democratic major- ity wants or what it proposes to do. But I know about as much of what it wants as I know of what the majority on this side of the chamber wants. Just about the same. The distinction between the major- ity on this side and the minority on the other side is so trifling (so far as this ses- sion is concerned) that I do not now where the difference begins or where it ceases, and I do not know any body who does. They all seem to be in accord about producing cheapness. Every effort that has been made on both sides so far has been in favor of the reduction of the moncy of the country. It has been in favor of contraction, which they all know means Jow prices. If that is the democratic doctrine and if cheapness is what demo- crats want it seems that that doctrine and that desire have pervaded this side of the chamber quite as much as and I think a little more vigoror than the other. Mr. Teller’s Disheltet. As to promised financial legislation after the passage of the repeal bill Mr. Teller said that he did not believe there would be any such legislation in the next four years. There would be no effective legislation in that direction until the people were heard from. As to the proposed compromise to which, it was said, a large and respectable portion of the Senate had had no right to speak to the Senate had; it was rumored, declared that no compromise should take place—that it should be uncon- ditional repeal or nothing. This coinage is not to exceed $2,000,000 per mpnth, and is to stop when the a te amounts to $100,000,000. The silver dollars are to be full legal tende>; and no certifi- cates are to be issued to represent them. The World Out of Shape. ‘The New York papers, he said, were now cautioning the people not to expect too much from the repeal of the Sherman act. In his opinion the signs of the times did not indicate prosperity. The country would not see prosperity immediately. The world was disjointed and out of shape on account of the monetary conditions, and there would be distress, stagnation and paralysis of business wherever the gold standard pre- vailed—there and nowhere else. Mr. Teller occupied the floor until 2:40, when( without finishing his speech) he yield- ed the floor to Mr. Squire. Mr. Squire (Wash.) addressed the Senate in advocacy of the amendment, of which he gave notice on October 10. Mr. Sqaire’s Ame! dment. This amendment proposes to allow the owners of silver bullion to have it coined into standard silver dollars at the present ratio of 16 to 1; receiving standard silver dollars for it to the amount of the commer- cial value of the bullion—the difference to be retained as a reserve fund by the treas- ury. The purchase clause of the Sherman act is to be repealed. The Secretary of the Treasury {is to be authorized to issue Lunds, payable after five years, and bearing in- terest not to exceed 4 per cent, io the amount of $200,000,000 for the purpose of maintaining all the money of the 1 nited States at par with the gold dollar. He en- deavored, he said, in offering his «mend- ment to find that middle path which is the path of safety. About Cigarettes, From the Troy Times. The details of the manufacture of cigar- ettes are kept to a greater or less degree a secret by the manufacturers, each of whom has his own peculiar combination of to- baccos. None of the brands on the market are composed of one kind only. The recipe is not divulged outside of the firm. But this is not all. The original mixture is merely a basis for artificial flavoring. To begin with, various essential oils are added. The list of these includes rose, rose gera- nium, vanilla bean, Tonka bean and lico- rice root. These ingredients are added after the tobacco has been chopped into shreds in readiness to be rolled into cigarettes. Finally the particular drug chosen, in the shape of a liquid solution, is sptfayed on the material with an atomizer, while the to- bacco is stirred and mixed. The quantity employed is very carefully judged, so many drops being ailowed for each cigarette. For obvious reasons I cannot mention all the drugs that are used in the manufacture of cigarettes, but there is no doubt that opium, valerian and cannabis indica are utilized to the largest extent. Each manufacturer may be said to create a special drug habit among those who use his brand, so that they are not satisfied with ony athe srs + special from Allentown says the faculty of Munlenburg College have directed that foot ball playing with outside elevens must cease. ensational murder story was unearth- rat Philadelphia yesterday by the finding of the body of a woman named Romede lying on bed in the second-story front room of the house No. 239 Philadelphia reet.

Some Phenomena That Have Come Under His Observation THAT ARE INEXPLAINABLE. Only a comparatively few people in Washington know that we have here a branch of the American Psychical Society, and while a good many people have heard of the American Psychical Society, only a few of them know exactly what it was formed for and what it is endeavoring to do. The English Psychical Society—the par- ent body--was formed in 1882, the American society being founded some time after. Both have for their object the investigation of all kinds of phenomena for which ordinary explanations fail. They deal with hypno- tism, telepathy or thought transference, clairvoyance, clairaudience, phantasms of the living, phantasms of the dead, slate writing, hand control and al! kinds of ghosts and ghastly matters. The society is @ court which tries all this phenomena ac- cording to the strict rules of evidence and judges accordingly. No testimony is ad- mitted which would not be accepted in a court of law, and owing to the peculiar nature of its investigations the society rules out much which under legal practice would be admitted. So strict are their canons of evidence, as applied to the tes- timony of certain mediums, that some years ago they caused the secession from the English society of a number of spirit- ualists, among them Messrs. Staunton Mo- ses and Alfred Russell Wallace, who de- clare that “no experience based on mere eyesight could ever have a chance to be admitted as true if such an impossibility exacting standard of proof were insisted upon in every case.” Some Notable Members. Among the members of the English so- ciety are W. T. Stead, editor Review of Reviews; Mr. F. W. H. Meyers, the dis- tinguished essayist; Prof. Sidgewick and a number of men well known in all walks of life. In America Prof. Wm. James, B. O. Flower, editor of the Arena; Hamlin Gar- land the novelist; Rev. Minot J. Savage, Rev. R. Heber Newton and Rabbi Saloman Schindler, are among the active members of the society. Camille Flammarion, the distinguished astronomer, although a resi- dent of France, is also an active member. The officers of the Washington branch are: Rey. Alexander Kent, president; Col. J. W. Davidson, vice president; N. E. Wil- Hams, secretary; Dr. George H. LaFetra, treasurer. A Star reporter in quest of information about the work of the society interviewed Mr. Kent at his residence, 930 O street, the other day. The B: h in This City. = “Yes, we have a branch of the Psychi- cal Society here,” replied the reverend g¢n- tleman to the reporter's question, “but we have not been able to do as much as we hoped to accomplish. The great difficulty we labor under is in getting any one to sit for us. We have sent invitations to most of the professional mediums in town, but they have all declined.” “Are they afraid to submit to the test?” asked the reporter. “They say that the thought of undergo- ing such an ordeal would make them ner- vous and disturb the conditions necessary for a successful sitting, and that they do not care to take the chances.” “Then the Washington branch has not very successful?” ‘o, it has not, and in a few days we are going to hold a meeting to decide upon our further steps.” “Have you ever observed any phenomena h could not be satisfactorily explain- ed?” asked the reporter. Some Phenomena Observed. “Yes, a good deal,” replied Mr. Kent. “There are more things in heaven and earth than can be explained by our phil- osophy. I have noted more than one inex- plicable thing. Probably the most remark- able case that has come under my personal knowledge was that of a young lady re- siding in this city. She had a sister who died a couple of years ago. This young lady in question was sitting at a desk one day with a pencil in her hand when all at once she felt a sharp thrill, like that caused by the appli: ion of an electric battery, run down her right arm, and spontaneously, without any impulse on her own part, she began to write. She rolled off page after page until she had written several hun- dred words. The matter purported to be a message from her sister, and was composed of very elevated thought, expressed in most felicitous English. This message was fol- lowed by .a number of others at different times, the writing of some of which I wit- nessed. Of the genuineness of the phe- nomena I am satisfied. The young lady and her parents were of a very practical turn of mind. They had never had anything to do with spiritualistic matters, and were a3 much mystified by the phenomena as any one could be. I am certain that the young lady, who ts very young, could not produce work of such a high literary quality. There was no reason for fraud, as the people are of the highest character and the manifesta- tions were made known only to a few. Then this is by no means an isolated case. Mr. Stead gave in his magazine, a few months ago, a remarkable instance of how his own hand was controlled, and facts which he could not possibly have known, and which were later confirmed, were written by him.” “Have you any explanation of this phe- nomena, Mr. Kent?” No Explanation to Offer. “No, sir, it is for the explanation of this and similar invidents that the Society for Psychical Research is seeking. Much valu- able work has been done during its eleven years of existence, but the best it has been able to do is to establish the genuineness of certain phenomena. How great its ad- vance in this direction has been is shown by the attitude of Prof. James, who occu- pied the chair of philosophy at Harvard. He says that his psychical investigations have broken down for his mind ‘the limits of the admitted order of nature,’ that sci- ence, so fer as it ‘denies such exceptional facts lies prostrate in the dust’ for him, and that, ‘the most urgent intellectual need’ which he feels at present ‘is that science must be built up again in a form in which such facts shall have a positive place. est step in advance made by continued Mr. Kent, “is the practical establishment of the simultaneous existence of two different strata of con- sciousness ignorant of each other in the same person. To the subliminal conscious- ness as it is termed by Mr. F. W. H. My- e the consciousness which lies under the surface, which only comes to the front when our habitual consciousness is sleep- ing, belongs most of these mysterious pow- ers we cannot explain. So far as learned investigators have gone this subliminal consciousness is possessed of far greater powers than our habitual consciousness. However, we know but little. We are only on the border of a great continent that has never been explored.” “The society has made a great many ex- pesures of alleged mediums, has it not?” asked the reporter. Exposures Made by the Society. “Yes, a great many. Its investigation of the cluims of Madame Blavatsky, the high priestess of theosophy, as a psychical me- dium, gave the reputation of that lady a serious blow. In fact, investigation of the psychical phenomenon of mediumship (slate writing, furniture moving and so forth) has been destructive of the claims of all the mediums examined. Mr. Davey, one of our most active investigators, himself produced fraudulent slate writing of the highest or- der, while Mr. Hodgson, as a ‘sitter’ in his (Davey’s) confidence, reviewed the writ- ten reports of the series of his other sit- ters (ail intelligent persons) and shows that in every case they failed to see the essential features of what was done before their eyes.” “You think wonderful discoveries are to be made in this direction, 40 you not, Mr. Kent?” “Wonderful advances have been made in other directions, why not in this,” was the reply. “M. Flammarion, quoting the dic- tum that ‘any Kind of molecules are af- fected jn a special manner by molecules of the same kind, though situated in the most distant regions of space,’ declares that it only ‘requires one step more for the admis- sion that communications may be establ! between an inhabitant of Mars and inhabitant of the earth.” Im the words of that same distinguished astrono- mer, I believe ‘the psychical world, like the world of astronomy, opens infinite avenues before us. Study, study without ceasing! Let no system stand in the way! Let us speak truth, freely!” ———_ +e«_______. THE NEW CONGRESS. Members in Town and Where They Can Be F. Vice President. Stevenson, A.

He realized that they had set up a lofty ideal which he sincerely hoped that he could attain. As for the future of the university, it was his earnest wish that it be placed on firm foun- dations, and he had no hesitation in saying that he believed the future would show that it had. He spoke of the downfall of rain that marked the ceremonies of laying the corner stone which was repeated when the building was dedicated, and he said that this might be taken as a signal of the trials and tribulations the university would undergo. He said that reference had been made to the number of students in attendance on the university and he said that that in itself was not so significant when the progress of the university was compared with that of older institutions. For ex- ample, he said, St. Mary’s Seminary, which was one of the oldest Catholic institutions in the country, founded some seventy years ago, had reached a maximum num- ber of students some twenty years ago of only forty, which is the present attend- ance at the university. Now there was an attendance of 240. He thought that this was encouraging. He spoke of the fine buildings and of their soon to have Mc- Mahon Hall, which was being built, and that they had Father McMahon in their midst. This reference to the venerable father was applauded by the audience and caused the recipient of this attention to blush modestly. The cardinal said in answer to the kindly wishes for the con- tinuance of his life that he did not expect to live to see his golden jubilee, whether he was on earth or in heaven he would always continue to pray for the Cathclic University. At the conclusion of the cardinal’s ad- dress the exercises were brought to a close. The cardinal remained and sat down to dinner with the faculty and the students, intending to remain at the university until this evening, when he will come to the city and receive those who have been in- vited by Carroll Institute to meet him. ——s—__ “Widow of the Late.” From London Truth, Apropos of the surprising reform in the first column of The Times (London), a read-| er of that journal asks me to call attention to the absurdity of describing widows—as is usually done in that column—as “widow of the late so-and-so.” It certainly seems superfluous to mention the fact that a wid- ow’s husband is dead, but I feel bound to add that I have known cases where there was room for doubt upon the point. cee A Dreadful Warning: From the Philadelphia Record.

NEW adversely influenced at the beginning of today’s business by lower prices in London, but soon recovered and bounded away in the same lively fashion that has been char- acteristic of the past week's speculation. Reactions have resulted from every attempt to realize, but buying orders have invaria- bly been in waiting for the attendant lower figures and have prevented any consider- able decline. ‘The short interest has been increased as the result of the more tempting figures of the last few days and the assurance that a reaction must of necessity appear sooner or later. There is no evidence so far that the boom has culminated and a strong un- dertone of surprising strength underlies the entire speculative structure. Stocks are be- ing taken up one at a time and pressed for- ward as worthy successors of the favorites of the day before. The diverting of atten- tion from oid to new fields does not mate- rially weaken the position of the former, ajthough for the moment it is compara- tively neglected. The market is not in- fluenced by any news other than the as- surance that the repeal bill will at an early date be given an opportunity to vindicate its title and perform the service for which it was created.

Money on call continues to rule in the neighborhood of 1 1-2 per cent, and some- time Joans are still to be had in rare cases at 5, with the prevailing rate unchanged at 6 per cent. The industrials were well to the front in "s trading, and scored some substan- tial gains. National Cordage gained 3 1-2 per cent to 29. Chicago Gas moved up 4 per cent to 67 1-2. General Electric gained 15-8 per cent to 51 7-8, and sugar was aetive around 102 1-2. The regular list was led by Tllinols Cen- tral, with a gain of 3 per cent to 9%. West- ern Union gained 2 pe> cent to $2, and Bur- Ungton advanced 1 to 8 7-8. ‘The exchanges in the clearing house today Were $95,563,519;balances, $4,940,433, and the sub-treasury’s debt balance, $640,240. The noon statement of the loan committee reported the cancellation of $230,000 addi- tuonal certificates, and called $80,000 for re- tirement tomo->row, reducing the amount now outstanding to $1,685,000. Chicago Gas broke 2 per cent in the last hour on some heavy realizing, andthe rest of the list sold cff in sympathy.

Con- ditions that prompted the original rise are still good, and will probably follow in the line of precedent and make good the slight setback at the close of today’s business, ‘The London Market.

Today 100,000 soy- ereigns went to Egypt and 12,000 in bar gold was sold. The latter for New York by the Lazards. The bank's supply of eagles is believed to be small, hence the firm price.

You put the cream in a hopper and the machine does the rest. Young man, I don't want it.” “Nothing of the kind, madam.” “Mebbe you're sellin’ soup. Some new kind that costs less and lasts longer. We ain't buyin’ soap today.” “You are wrong,” protested the visitor, as soon as he was able to get in a word. “Per- mit me to ask you a question. Do you use much poultry?” “Much poultry!” almost screamed the landlady. “With nine boarders that's swore off all meat except poultry for Lent, and all the rest hungry enough to swoller horn but- tons, reckon I do use poultry. I'm crazy with the chicken bill.” “That's it; that’s it,” said the visitor, rub- bing his hands with satisfaction. “Same story everywhere, madam, and just to save you that expense I have called to explain @ remarkable invention of mine.

It would excite suspicion to supply anything else. legs and a dozen wings on trial?” “They would be useless to me,” said the landlady quietly. “Hey?” “I serve my White meat of fowls.” The visitor looked stunned. “What do you do with the legs and wings?” he faltered. “Throw them away.” For a moment there was silence in the And then the visitor slowly arose an@ moved toward the door.

The improvement in the trotting horse the most remarkable evidence of progress in intelligent and skillful breeding that furnished by the combined annals and animals. There has scarcely more striking instance of it formance of Fantasy at Nashville on Tues- day, when the mile record olds was reduced by @ quarters, and the “race record” for year-olds by two seconds and a half. performance of Directum the next less surprising only because the and time of Nancy Hanks. track and the pneumatic tire, it must be assumed, have done their perfect so that, in the absence of new mechanical facilities, it is fair to attribute increase speed hereafter exclusively to improvements in breeding and training. It is a curious fact that, while every record, with one exception, the best a gelding, has been made since 1890, records for longer distances are for the most part very much older. The record for miles was made last year, and for five this year, but the three-mile record is twen- ty-one years o}d, the ten-mile record fifteen, and the a record — it Perhaps a match for twenty mi time is too direct a threat of cruelty to ant- mals to be tolerated, but certainly it ts to be wished that trotting performances should be arranged so as to give more of a guaran- tee than they now furnish of endurance as well as of extreme speed. It is the improve- ment of the breed of horses that excuses either trotting or running races. The high- class trotter is as much of @ toy as the thor- oughbred. He is worth cultivating in order to produce swift and capable roadsters, just as the utility of the thoroughbred is made manifest in his half-bred progeny ra’ than in himself. What the half-bred is among ie horses the roadster is among harness horses, and sustained speed is a great object in each case. The present ten- dency both of the running and the trotting turf is to produce sprinters. Of ing programs are arranged in view money, and it is to be assumed managers know their business. u time it is to be lamented that some should not be interspersed at every to show that the modern thoroughbred not only go fast, but can keep i up. This is as true of the trotting as of the running turf, and it ts therefore good news that the owner of Fantasy proposes with another i ot ibehi i -] animal to tackle the three-mile record, whick has stood untouched since 1872. — — see Treatment of Nervousness. From the Brooklyn Eagle. Almost everybody has a cure for nervous- ness, and each one, of course, is claimed to be the best. The remedy for nervous de- jes nervous depression, theref< Toutes as aid the appetite and assimilation may be used; an excellent one is the citrate of quinine and tron, one dram, dissolved in a half pint of water, and a dessert spoonful taken previous to each meal. For special forms of nervousness many remedies are used such as the stronger preparations of fron, the bromide of potassium, valerian with ammonia, or the application of elec- tricity. These, when skillfully adminis- tered, are doubtless useful, but recourse to such powerful means should never be had except under medical advice. C ex- ercise, fresh air, diet or tonics will not cure nervousness derived from “a mind disess- ed,” or one who gives way to depression. The nervousness must, as far as be disregarded and defied. and the mind prevented from constantly brooding on self
