An extraordinary development of the fac- ulty of memory is noted in the person of the Rev. William Cullen Hicks, a revivalist, who is at present holding meetings in the Wen- D From country distri of Kentucky. Mr. Hicks is only twenty-eight years old, but his familiarity with the Scriptures is some- thing phenomenal. He always draws large crowds, being an attractive and forcible speaker; but his greatest reputation rests on his ability to recite with absolute cor- rectuess every chapter and verse in the Bible, with the exception of the Psalms. He can start at the beginning, middle, or end, and go backward or forward, or can repeat any chapter of any book of the Old or New Testament without halting or hesitating. Reports from Adair county, Kentucky, where he is now sojourning, say that his performances are amazing. Another case of unusual memory, which is attracting much attention, is the recent achievement of Secretary Carlisle in Chi- cago. Mr. Carlisle’s speech on the finance which would fill eight or ten columns of the Democrat and Chronicle, was delivered without manuscript, and the speaker re- ferred to his notes only two or three times during the whole of his address. As he Save many figures and statistics referring to this and other countries, the perform- ance must be set down as a noteworthy one. It has, however, been equaled or sur- pa: ler inen prominent in our pub- lic Edward Everett, Charles Sumner, Roscoe Conkling and James G. Blaine were famous for oratorical efforts which had all the force and attractiveness of extempore deliverances, but which aad been carefully prepared and memorized. Mr. Conkling had special gifts in this direction. It was often difficult for his hearers to persuade themselves that his flights of elo- quence, flashes of wit, volleys of invecti and appropri: stures were not inspira- tions of the moment, when, in fact, they Were the finished product of laborious preparation, and ses of private rehearsal. His great speech in New Y in the Garfield campaign was a achievement in memory, and in torical art that c rt. Mr. Blaine also generally knew p: ly what he w going to say, and just how he was going to say it, before delivering an important speech. It long ago ceased to be a secret that on the occasion of his last appearance in Rochester he secured the attendance of an expert shorthand reporter in his pri room. The reporter seated himself at a table, with paper and pencils, and Mr. Blaine, slowly pacing the room, deliberately thought out a dictated speech. A type- written copy of the reporter's noies was immediately taken to the newspaper offices, and a few hours later Mr. Blaine delivered the speech, word for word, to a large as- semblage of people. Between the dictation and the delivery Mr. Blaine had many call- ers, and bis thoughts were diverted in oth- er ways by the events of the day, but his. memory did not fail him. Although this was by no means one of the most import- ant mental efforts of his life, it was a pe- culiar and impressive one. The wonderful performances of Paul Morphy, the genius of the chess board, have been cited as feats of memory. He would play eight games simultaneously, blindfolded, remembering his own moves and those of his opponents, and the posi- tions of the pieces on each of the boards. Not only this, but if ail or part of the games dragged out to a great length, and were adjourned from one day to the next, he resumed them with unfailing memory of the situation on each board. This, how- ever, was not an exercise of memory pure and simple, but rather an association of ideas, or a concentration of thougit, on certain “plans of campaign,” on the ‘fac- tors entering therein, and on details of ac- tion which had logical relation and se- quence. Nevertheless, it wks a phenomenal intellectual effort. Some mental philosophers have contended that there is no such thing as pure memory —that what is called memory is merely an intellectual bent in a certain direction. For example, one student may have a genius for history and another for the languages, each being “dull” except in his own specialty; and the historian may wonder at the linguist’s poor memory of names, events and dates, while the linguist may accuse the historian of deficient mem- ory because the latter is baffled by detini- tions, declensions and conjugations. The local politician's mind may be a storehouse of election returns, and a perfect blank in certain other directions, from which it is clear that he has a good memory for the xind of statistics that interest him. Yet, if he forgets one of a dozen articles which he should order at the grocery his better half will reproach him for having a poor memory, while she herself may not re- member who were candidates for mayor at the last election. From all of which some people argue that memory, as an independ- ent faculty, does not exist, but is merely the manifestation of different channels of thought in which some minds habitually travel. Th correctness or error of this theor however, may be left to the metaphysicians and psychologists. We see and hear of what seem to be extraordinary cases of memory, and the term will continue to be a good enough definition in the popular mind of phenomena of the kind to which brief reference has been made. so. Austin Corbin’s Game Preserve. From the Brooklyn Eagle. More famous than either of Austin Cor- bin's places is his northern estate near Newport, N. H.. where he met his death. This consists of 3,000 acres in a tract ten and a half miles long by four miles wide. This estate contains mountains and valleys, lakes and rivers. Its streams are sto¢ked with fish, and in its forests buffalé, ante- lopes, deer and other rare game roam wild. They. are kept within the proper confines by a tremendous wire fence thirty feet high and over forty miles in lineal iength. Mr. Corbin was a very hospitable man, and was fond of entertaining guests at New- port. He wag a hearty host. - coe — In New York the Civil Service Reform Association thanked Governor Morton for his extension of the merit system. MR. CARLISLE’S PLANS He Will Return to Kentucky When He Retires From the Treasury. If Siiver Loses He May Enter the Senate Race Again Against Blackburn. The latest report about Mr. Carlisle's plans indicates that- the gold democrats have no thought that silver will win at the polls in November. It had been generally assumed that at the ciose of this administration Mr. Carlisle would establish himself in the practice of law in New York city. Why return to Ken- tucky? it was asked. The political fleld there would be closed to him, and such practice as would come to him in the town of Covington would not be likely to satisfy a lawyer of his present eminence. So New York was to be his home in future. Mr. Bristow had gone there after leaving the Treasury Department and built up a lucra- tive law business, and Mr. Carlisle, a fel- low Kentuckian, would follow his example. A Different Story Now. But there is a very different story now. Mr. Carlisle, it is stated, has no thought of giving up his residence in Kentucky, but will return there when his term of office erds here. and take up the law again. Later, he expects to canvass the state in the legislative contests of next year in the interests of the democratic party. If the democracy captures the legislature, he may then decide to offer for the Senate against Mr. Blackburn in January, 1898. This program must be based upen the lelef that the fight for silver this y will be lost, and that tne democracy by next year will be in a humor to listen to those of its old Jeaders who are now with- out Influence. Otherwise it cannot be ex- plained. If silver should win at the polls this year Mr. Blackburn will probably be invincible at home next year. The federal patronage will all pass through his hands, and every effort be put forth by the new administration to make him his own suc- cessor. He is personally the most popular of ell the silver leaders. If Silver Loses. But if silver loses, and loses heavily; if the republicans return to power in both the White House and Congress, the gold democrats will lay the blame at the door of the silver “emcerats, and insist on a rew crganization and a return to the old leadership. In a canvass like that the friends of Mr. Carlisle think he would cut @ very commanding figure on his native heath. On genera! issues he has always led his party at home, end on the tarilf issue he led the party everywhere uniil Mr. Cleveland, by force of his presidential cifice, assumed the leadership for himsel Carlisle and Blackburn, on the stump to- gether ,end opposing each other, will make next year’s Kentucky campaign as inter- esting as this year’s has been. ED BY A STRIKE. RU ‘The ht of n Man Who Once Had a Salary of 88,000, Los Angeles Times. The story of Richard Reese (or Reeves), the counterfeiter who was arrested near Los Angeles recently, is a tragic example of the mutability of human affairs. Reese has seen but two years less than half a century of life. His training was that of a ine- chanic. He is not a man skilful with hands alone, but one who works with both hands and brain. When U. S. Grant was running for President years ago there v a big political celebration in Chicago. Grant was there and Reese rode in his car- riage as a representative of the laboring classes, proclaimed by his fellows the most skillful mechanic in all Americ: As the years went by the man’s reputa- tion grew and increased. At last he cb- tained a place in one of the great shops at From Homestead, Pa. Eventually he rose to he foreman, with a salary of $8,000 a yea Then came the great Homestead strike, which brought ruin and death to so imany men. Reese was infected with the lapor doctrines then pre’ When the strug- gle was over Reese was ruined man.

Dr. Nicholas Senn has made a success of an extraordinary operation in skin graft- irg. Nothing of the kind was ever tried before, and the eminent Chicago surgeon has startled his medical brethren again by his daring, and 1s receiving their plaudits for the triumph of nis remarkable experi- ment. The parboiled hand of a man, devoid of skin on its back, was inserted ‘in a punc- ture made between the skin and flesh of the man’s own stomach three weeks ago and fastened there, literally in a sling of skin and flesh. Yesterday it was removed, and it was found that the skin of the stomach had grown to the back of the hand. It was carefully treated, trimmed down to where it should grow, and a tri- umph in the surgery of skin grafting was made public. The patient is E. E. Lyday, cashier of the First National Bank of Newton, Jowa. He has been a resident and business of that place for years. Mr. Lyday was a victim of a wreck on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railway at Grinnell, Iowa, in ISM. The “hot air” pressure on a coach at that time severely scalded his face and hands. He was scarred for life. In the course of time he recovered the use of his left hand, but his right hand was so par- boiled and maimed that he lost control of it. The member was like a piece of man- gled beef. The skin was hopelessly and permanently gone, from finger-tip to wrist. Lyday first submitted to the knife April 25. A piece of his skin three inches. in width, five;inches long and a quarter of an Inch thick was skillfully cut. The unique bandage was lifted to permit the insertion of the mangled and scalded hand, which needed a new covering. The hand was placed in this novel grafting device a few weeks ago. Yesterday the triumph was complete. The skin had grown on the back of the hand, and a process was promptly applied to substitute another skin on the stomach and breast, from which the strip had been transferred to the hand. Thievish Wood Rats. to obtain a posit: ing mill. ‘There From Forest and Stream. The wood rat of the western slopes of the Cascade range is a curious creature chat loves to steal so well that it is known to many as the camp robber. It carries off anything it can lay its lips to, and is, be- sides, a jolly, reckless fellow. It does things which rodents are not given to do- ing. It will take knives, forks and tin pla:es, cartridges, cups and anything it can handle in the line of clothing, towels or gun rags, which make soft linings for its nest. It is related how a pair of these staked off a claim on top of a hunter’s camp stove and put up the most curious rat house anybody ever heard of. About 20) yards away was a railroad shanty, where the section men kept their supplies, and among other things was a keg of railroad spikes, such as are used to fasten the rails to the ties. ‘The rats took some spikes to their claim, built up an iron wall and lined the interior with soft stuff. It is a curious fact that all the points of the spikes were directed out- ward, and they were laid with great regu- larity and firmness. The habits of the rat are a study for a naturalist, and it makes things so interesting for the natives that they kill it on sight. STREET CAR FENDERS —— One of the Last Bills Introduced in the House Before Adjournment. All Cars to Be Equipped and a Fine for Failure—Commission to De- termine the Best Form. One of the lest bills introduced in the House yesterday afternocn was one relat- ing to the use of safety fenders on electric or cable cars within the District. The bill was introduced by Mr. Richardson, by re- quest, and was referred to the District of Columbia committee, which will report it at the next session. It provides: “That the Commissioners of the District of Columbia be, and hereby are, authorized and airected to require each street railway ¢ompany or corporation which may be now or hereafter operated by cable or electric power within the District of Columbia to prepare its tracks and roadbed in such manner as may be necegsary to facilitate the use of safety fencers upon the cars of sich companies or ccrporations, and to equip such cars with the best attainable fenders for the protection and preservation of lif? and lmb. Said fenders shall be of sufficient capacity ard proper form to sustain, hold and retain, and carry any person struck by sald fender or car until the car can be stoy ped, and the front part thereof shall be made of such soft material that it will give with the Impact of the bedy of a person in which it may come in contact. Said fenders shall be at_ lcast five feet wide, and the front thereof shall nct be more than four inches from the ground or center of tracks, or rails cf tracks, when the car to which said fender is attached is empty, or when It is running and oscillating. Said fenders must be so constructed as to protect the tracks equally as well on curves as on tangents, and shall not be attacked to ny car in such manner as t» extend into the street at curves in the tracks. & “Tha. if any of the said companies or corporations shall reglect for six months, after having be2n directed in writing by the said Commissioners to prepare their tracks and roadbed and equip the cars operated by them as required by this act to the sat'sfaction of the said Commission- ers, such company or “orporation shall, from and after the expiration of six months from the date of the said notice, pay a fine of $5 per day for each car operated by them to which a fender should have heen attachea. The said fines shall be collected in the same manner as other fines due the District of Columbia, and when collected all be paid into the treasury of the said District. ° “Tat the Commisstoners of the District of Columbia shall, immediately after the passuge of this act, proceed to investigate and determine upon the most effectual fender or fenders to meet the requirements of this act, and to this end shall have power to send for persons and papers, sub- poena witnesses, cxamine experts and com- pel railway corporations who use cars Eropelled by electricity, cable or steam, and officers and managers thereof, fenders to be attached to and used on said cars for the purpose of public experiment to aid said Commissioners in their inves- tigation and determination as herein au- ized. ‘That nothing contained in this act shall operate to relieve any street railway com- pany from lability f9¢ accidents on its lines, sae at this act shall tke effect from and after its passage.” - HORBINS OF BACHELORS.

She said: “We girls get credit for an awful lot of faddishness, bui I don’t believe we are any more given to riding hobbies than men are.” Somebody inquired: “What kind of fads do you think men foster? “Oh,” answered the sister of three broth- ers, “real foolish fancies. For instance, I have a college friend who has a panel hung in one corner of his room, and on it he fastens all the half-worn slippers he can collect from girls. Such a curiosity that siipper hook of his is! Of course, he doesn't label the shoes; that would be altogether tco public. But the odds and ends of foot- gear he has collected would stock a shoe chest. Funniest part of this collection is the man who owns it boasts that he has in turn adored rapturously the various own- ers of the different slippers. imilar to this fad is the one of securing gloves.

This particular youth collected college pins from all the girls he knew who were attending ‘higher education.” As a result, he could display quite an assortment of enameled stickpins. He plastered them over the lapel of his ccat. He used to wear them as sendmental trophies, much as an Indian would dargle scalps from his beit. One day the stickpin collector was to escort his very iest girl to a foot ball game, and the stickpin array confronting him on his coat front he hastily removed all but the one the ‘best girl’ had given him, fastening the others underneath his collar. The course of true love ran smoothly that day, until the thoughtless pin collector turned nis coat collar up about his ears. Then those many colored college pins told their tale. He and his best girl have parted compaay now, but the youth still collects college stickpins.

TO SEEK NEEDED REST People Who Are Planning for Their Sum- mer Vacation. Information Which Will Be of V to Those Uncertain of Where to Go. Plans for the summer constitute a timely topic of conversation just now, and while some people know exactly when they are going, there are a great many who are all at sea, so as to speak, on this subject. To the latter class the useful suggestions found in the advertising columns of The Star are fully appreciated. Below will be found notices of some of the mountain and seaside resorts which are mentioned more at length in the advertising columns: The prospects for a gay season at Long Branch this summer are most excellent. ‘The always popular West End cottages, an arnex of the West End Hotel at Long Branch, will be opened for the reception of uests on Thursday, June 11.

The prices are reasonable, and arrangements can be made with C. E. Brown, 43 Bowdoin street, Boston. Way out at Land’s End, Cape Ann, Mass., is Turk’s Head Inn, occupying one of the finest locations on the beautiful north shore. A casin., tennis courts and fine sailing are a few of the notable aitractiona, and the inn, which opens the latter part of June, is run as a first-class summer resort, under the management ef J. F.

Ocean View, Va., has long held high place among American summer resorts, being al- | most ideal in regard to the bathing it af- fords and the perfect safety with which it may be indulged. For ladies and chil- dren it is particularly recommended, and in a social sense it is simply delightful. The Ocean View Hotel {s now open, under | the proprietorship of E. B. Thornton, who will send terms and other particulars on ap- plication. The higher up one gets during the com- ing hot spell the greater will be the as- surance of -keeping cool and preserving health by the purity of the ozone. C quenily, the Glen Summit Hotel, at Glen Summit, Pa., which opens June 20, under W. H.

Information about this delightful resort may be obtained by ad- | dressing E. C. Jordan, Jordan Springs P. O., | Va. Away out in the ocean, where the breezes are most laden with health and strength, end the waves roll highest, is quaint old Nantucket, which has achieved such a high reputation as a place to spend the sum-| mer. Among the hotels there none afford so many delightful attractions as the Sher- burne and Bay View Houses, which aré under the management of J. Patterson. | Notwithstanding their high character, the | rates are reasonable, especially where fam- ies are concerned. Among the most elighly located houses at Narragansett Pier Is the Atwood, which is now open for the accommodation of guests, | under the management of J. A. Tucker. | The Atwood is well kept, particularly as — regards its table, and is within a short dis- tance of the Casino, where society loves to gather, and of the bathing beach, which 1s patronized by all. Narragansett Pier not only presents un- rivaled attractions as a health and pleasure rescrt, but it also gives one in search of either the additional opportunity to study | American society in all its elegant forms. An excellent place to be domiciled while there is at the Atlantic House, which fronts the ocean in a delightful location, and is | managed In first-class order. Rates may be obtained by addressing the proprietor, S. T. Browning. The Buena Vista Springs Hotel, away up on the summit of the Blue Ridge mountains, will reopen June 25, under the management of W.

Maddock, is recommended to pros- pective visitors as an excellent sojourning place. It is situated directly on the beach, and the terms are reasonable. It is never uncomfortably warm up in New Hampshire, even during the hottest part of summer, and at Intervale in that siate ore may find a most delixhtful place to spend the solstice at the Intervale and the cottages connected with it. The fact that Stephen Mudgett & Sons are the pro- prietors is a sufficient guaraatee of the high character of the accommodations pre- pared for the entertainment of patrons. Those persons who prefer the inland re- sorts te those at the seashore have little difficulty in selecting a place after Lake. sheet of water in the east, surrounded by scenery unequaled anywhere, makes this but a natural result. Almost as tamous as the lake itself is the Fort William Henry Hotel, which will open June 15 under the management of Ryland Hamilton. The Fert William Henry is first-class in every particular. The simple name of “Greenbrier White” conjures visions of delightful society, charming scenery, |eautiful drives and re- newed health, and the announce:neat that the famous sulphur springs ‘earing the name are open for the accommodation of guests will doubiless suffice to ill the com- modious hotel and cottages with peopie. Special inducements are offered to fa-nilies this season, and L. W. Scoville, the mana- ger, will cheerfully send all information | desired about the delightfui resort. j the bed wagon, contaimng ali the be j riders who drive (is pushed ahead until e | annually GREAT SPRING ROUND-UP. remes Now Being ted on Cattle Ranges in Dakota.

Twenty five outtits have planned and iaid out thei: reutes, and at least six weeks of conunu- | cus riding will be necessary tc do the work.

From the Plovida Cirizen, A man found himself seated behind a hat of such large proportions that he could scarcely see the stage at all, After vainly endeavoring to catci a glimpse of the per formers he determined that the only thing to do was to gei the woman to remove h hat. “Madam,” he sald, in the poli tones, “would you be so kind as to take off your hat? It prevents me from seeing the performance.” “No, I will not,” was the retort from the woman with the high hat. The man accepted the rebuff very calmly and he made a vain effort to see the siage for a while longer. Finally he determined to try again. “Madam,” he said, “I ha paid for this seat, but by reason of yo high hat I am unable to see the stage. W! e by taking it off?” “I have paid for my seat, and I int to wear what I please,” was received. A happy thought struck the man. He reached for his silk hat and put it on his head. Immediately there was a cry of se eral voices from behind him: “Take « that hat! Take off that hat!” The man took his hat off, but the woman, not knowing what he had done, of course, thought that the remarks were intended for her. She was mad—thoroughly mai— and gathering herself together she left her seat and the theater, and a smile of satis faction swept over the man’s face. sos There are thirteen cases of typhoid fever in the Virginia penitentiary, and two <ieaths from the disease have occurred. the answer
