NEW YORK, August 24—What was a very open race for the rich Futurity stakes, to be run off this afternoon at Sheepshead Bay, was made still more so by the rain of jast night and early this morning, which came down in torrents and turned a fast treck into deep mud, with no possibility of its drying out defore the opening of the rece. The candidates for the stake were cut on the track after the rain was over, but only got slow gallops in the sloppy going, no cne caring to risk injury. It cleared nicely overnead, however, and the prospects were excellent for a fair day at 9 c'clock. Although the Thompson string is repre- sented by three youngsters, it is no secret that in Gibraltar is their chief dependence and Scherrer will have the mount.

It is expected the city of San Francisco will be reached the evening of the 30th. itis a part of the program that the party shall have a brief cruise on the new gun- boat on some day prior to the 10th of Sep- tember, the date when the vessel is e pected to leave for Sitka. Commander Se- bree, at San Francisco, has notified Mr. Dovener of this feature, which, he says, has the approval of the Navy Department The pilgrimage will cover a period of abont four weeks. The route selected for the outward journey is via Chicago, Coun- cil Blufts 2 and Ogden. Returning, the party will have the courtesy of the Southern Pacific railway, and will take in New Orleans and points intervening be- tween that city and the Golden Gate. Mr. Dovener did not say sc, but it is barely possible that a stop will be made Sunday at El Paso, when the male mem- bers will slip over into Juarez, Mexico, and witness a bull fight, which, it is under- stood, is a regular Sunday diversion there. From New Orleans the returning pil- grims will probably travel over the Louis- ville and Nashville road. es UNIVERSITY NOTES. CATHOLI several Additions to the Faculty Have Been Decided Upon. The announcement is made that there will be several additions to the faculty of the Catholic University of America when the term of 1817-98 commences. The Cel- tie chair, which was established by means of subscriptions raised by the Ancient Or- der of Hiberniars of America, will be oc cupied by the Rev. Father Richard Hene- berry, who has been studying abroad for several years with a view to taking this position when the endowment was com- pleted. Father Heneberry was a student at the university and was selected by Archbishop Keane, then the rector of the institution, to go to Europe and prose- cute his studies in the Celtic language and literature. Rev. Father John 8. Creagh will, it is stated, assume the chair of canon law, formerly occupied by the Rev. Dr. Peries, who retired from the university severaf years ago. Rev. Father Charles T. Aiken will become an instructor in the school of philosophy, and the Rev. Father William J. Kirby, who has just completed # post-graduate course at Lourdain, Bel- gium, will be associate professor of sv- clology. It is also announced that the en- dowment left by Patrick B. O'Brien of New Orleans for the purpose of establish- ing the Patrick B. O'Brien chair of chem- istry, the John O'Brien chair of physics and the Richard M.

HYPNOTIST INDEX To ADVERTISEMENTS Chicago Sleuths Have a Sharp Tussle With the “Professor.” IN THE INTEREST OF HUMANITY Their Humane Endeavors to Wake the’ Subject Failed. CHIEF TO THE RESCUE a es CHICAGO, August 24.—The- Chicago po- lice force has pitted its strength against the power of hypnotism and the result may be termed a draw. Chief Kipley and his men, acting, as they said, “in the interest of humanity,” sought to prevent an exhi- bition of a seven days’ hypnotic sleep given at a North Side hall, and succeeded, but not until they had called upon the “profes- sor” to release the subject from his mes- meric influence. The subject was Samuel Burg, a young Danish barber. Burg was put to sleep Wednesday afternoon with regulation pass- es, and it was announced that he wouid sleep seven days and nights. Chief Kipiey sent two detectives to make areport. The sleuths found Burg asleep in the presence of a crowd which included several phy- sicians, who explained to the detectives that they were studying the effects of pro- Icnged hypnotic sleep on the subject. The physicians were taking the affair seriously, and said Burg was completely under hyp- notic influence. The detectives were skep- tical, and proceeded to apply such genile tests as pinching the bi cheeks, pulling his ears and tugging at his hair. But Burg did not stir. Decided to Stop the Show. The detectives reported to Chief Kipley, who decided to stop the exhibition, and sent a detail of officers for that purpose. Lieut. Seery, who had charge of the expe- dition, gave Burg a rap on the sole of his foot with his club, but the usual treatment prescribed by patrolmen for “sleepers” was not at all efficacious in the case of scmnolent subject. He might as well pounded the wooden toes of a cigar sign Then the lieutenant proceeded to shake Burg and pinch his ears and slap his cheeks, but to no avail. Then he tried the trick that was never known to fail. He thrust his brawny thumb up under the arm- pit and gave a series of hearty pinches. The motionless form gave no sign of life and the licutenant’s eyes bulged and his jaw dropped. Professor Was Excited. sults were being anxiously watched by physicians and psychologists from Califor- ia to Maine. The lieutenant cut him short D saying: “The chief says this exhibition S got to stop. I can't wake the boy up aid you've got to or I'll have to arrest the whole outfit.” ‘Then, with a few mysterious passes and a snap of the fingers, the mesmerist re- leased the subject and the two proceeded to Chief Kipley’s office to protest against the interrupticn of their exhibition. Chief Kipley Explains. In speaking of the matter, Chief Kipley said: “After having investigated the case, I considered it my duty to stop the exhibi- tion for the sake of humanity. There is no telling but that the test might have resulted in the boy's death. the boy was in a genuine hypnotic sleep. If the boy had died as a result of the test, I would have been blamed for allowing the exhibition to take place. In future mits for exhibitions of the kind granted.” There is no doubt that no per- will be ——___ ARMY onvERsS.

ROBBED A JEWELER. Sneak Thief Stole Watches in Plain View of Owner. A daring sneak thief committed a bold robbery early last evening at the jewelry store of Henry R. Grove, at lith and E streets. The thief was a young colored man, and he succeeded in making away with several valuable watches. . He has not yet been apprehended, and the chances of his capture are by no means bright, owing to the meager description furnished the police. The robbery occurred while the streets were well filled with people. The intruder boldly entered the store, placed a chair near the window, mounted the chair and reached over the showcase to a string of watches on the repair rack in the window. Mr. E. M. Middaugh, the manager, who Was seated at a desk in the rear of the store, at that moment looked up. Seeing that he was discovered, the thief rushed from the store, dropping several watches in his haste. Outside, he collided with and knocked down a woman who was passing. Although pursued by a Jarge crowd, the men, mingling with the pedestrians on F street, succeeded in getting away. Slight Fire. Engine company No. 4 responded to a jocal alarm yesterday afternoon for a fire at the Asphalt Block Manufactory, South Capitol and Q streets southeast, resuli from a leak in-an asphalt tank, the woe stance running agairst a furnace. — Mother's Suggestion Taken. r h; At this time the “professor” was hovering excitedly about and protesting that the great hypnotic exhibition was being held solely in the interest of science, and its re- members were elected repressntiiives at « Hin the annual convention of the Cathclic Young Men’s National Union, to be held in the city of Boston August 31 to Septem- ber 2: Charles H.

The com- plainant is represented by Attorney O. B. Hallam. The Corean Minister Exp! Absence From Mr. Sob's F _The Corean minister, Mr. Chin Pom Ye, has returned from ai outing in New Eng- land watering res rts, and he has had his attention called to reports published dur- ing his absence concerning ap alleged rup- ture among Corean officials, due to the minister's failure to attend the funcral of the late Mr. Soh, chief of the privy council of Corea, who recently died and was cre- mated in Washington. The minister w loth to notice the reports, but through his confidential secretary, Mr. Carmody, said his reasons for nct attending the funeral , were that when Mr. Soh was minister of justice in Corea he signed the decree di- vorcing the king from the queen. Subse- quently Mr. Ye, the present minister at Washington, became minister of justice in Corea, and in the course of an inquiry learned that Mr. Soh had signed the decree of divorce. ‘This was one of the early misforiu the queen, who was subsequently as pated during a rebellion. The mi garded the signing of the divorce as a cause for not attending the funeral, He also disapproved of the ceremony of cre- mation, as it is seid to be a Buddhist rite, and not in vogue in Corea. Considering the rank of Mr. Soh, the minisier believed it to be more appropriate that the remains be sent to Corea, and there interred with a dignity fitting his station. Prince Eir Wha, the second son of the king, is at present a guest at the legation here, having been sent to the United States to be educated. His presence has led to published reflections on the first son of the king, the crown prince and heir apparent to the throne of Corea. It is stated at the le-~ gation, however, that the crown prince is a young man of strong intellect and a fine classical scholar, and that the reports of his being an imbecile would be ludicrous iy they were not painful to Prince W and the other Corean officials here. ———_—_2 Repairs to the Lancaster.

ONE OF TWO WAYS. The bladder was created for one purpose, name- ly, a reveptacle for the urine, and as such it is not Mable to any form of disesse except by one of two wsys, ‘The first way is from imperfest action of the kidneys. The second way is from cereless local treatment of other diseases. : CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidners is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the bladder, was created for one purpose, and if not, doctored too much is not Mable to weakness or disense, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience mani- fested im the Kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error 4s easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside fur twenty- four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kid- mey or bladder trouble.
