There will have to be some politics transacted very speedily during the next seven weeks. So far, with the exception of the Popuiists, nothing has been done that was not undone yesterday, when the committee of twenty-one virtually sur- rendered their title to office. This action on their part needs some ex- vlanation more than has been given. It is not to be supposed thai men of the standing of the committee would have worked a whole month before they dis- covered that they had been duped. Itis an insult to their intelligence to presame that they worked for four weeks before they found out tha: they were tbe laugh- ing stock of a few machine politicians. While there may be some ground for doubting the motive of the City Central Committee, there can be no doubt as to the ability of their appointees to have ful- filled the task allotted to them, yiz.: that of naming del. gates to a municival con- vention. If the motive for the committee resign- ing were really that they believca they had been misled tne very best thing in the world for tnem to do would have been to go ahead with their work and visita severe punishment on the heads of those who hau been guilty of trickery. They bad it in their power to do so. The dei- egates they would have named would bave appointed the next City Central Committee and wouid thus have bad tue complete satisfaction of making the trick prove a boomerang (o the trickster. This would certainly have been the case had there been no other reason. But there was another reason and a powerful one, and its existence is due to the very effective and commendable work of the leaders ot the committee of twenty- one. Quite recently—in 1actthe echoes of the striie have not yet died away—those same men, or rather the wing of the Re- publican party that they represent, suc- ceeded by a struggle, the details of Which are well known, in establishing the prin- ciple that delegates to conventions should be elected at primaries and should not be appointed by any political org nization. This principie proved popuiar snd at the very next primary was indorsed. As soon &+ the committee of twenty-one reaiized that it had made a mistake m trying to undo its own good work it wisely withdrew. A very conscientious man told me to-day that this view is not the correct one, butif not, then the members of the committee of twenty-one are the most un- fortunate victims of circumstances that are on record even in this “hatchery of the unexpected.” Oakland is congratulating herself this week. On numerous occasions the city bas been regarded as the abiding-place of political and religious cranks, freaks and enthusiasts, Probably there has been some little founaation for this reputation, but at present she occupies a rear seat, During the past two weeks Berkeley and San Francisco have each furnished two sen- sations 1n the theological worid, and Oax- landers are considering why they have been so graciously passed by. In the biggest of the tnree cities two new churches have been started—one by a voung man, the other by an older man— and out in Berkeley Revs. Payne and Robbin have huried the thunders of their respective pulpils at each other, and this was quickly followed by a young man from San Francisco and another from the South founding a new church also at the | wanting to learn to hypnotize?” Un versity town. ‘While the experience of being ignored is new, Oakland does not resent the slight.

LADIES LEARNING 10 HYPHOTIZE Leap Year Privilege Now Extended Through All the Years. Grave Danger to Men While Intending to Be Only a Brother to Her. ; Tae Indiscriminate Teaching of Hyp- notism as Now Practiced in San Francisco. Two young men of respectable appear- ance haye rented a front room with an imposing bay-wirdow on Howard street and have established what the card on the stairs announces—a school of hypnotism. As one of the young men said yesterday, they will teach this marvelous and dan- gerous power to any one “who has the price.” According to this the most de- | praved person south of Market street is | just as eligible to become & master of this i strange phenomenon as the purest-minded | man or woman. *Can all persons be taught hypnotism was asked by THE CALL reporter. | “About 80 per cent of ali people can | learn to be bypnotists,” said Mr. Bodge, | one of the teachers. o “The remaining 20 | per cent are prevented from learning by | certain scarcely definable characteristics. | The difficully to overcome in teaching hypnotism is to get the subject into a | passive condition. Some persons d-:lude | themselves into thinking they are in that stats when their nervous attention, to the contrary, is greatly strained. Tkey watch | every move the teacher makes. Itis very | hard then to hypnotize them. I have | never been hypnotized. 1 was advised, if | Iintended to teach it, never to allow my- self to be put in a hypnotic state. Ican tell by intuition and in a few moments wnel’heru person can be hypnotized or | not.” “Is there mot danger to society in this | indiscriminats teaching of this power?'’ | “There is danger in the evil use of it, | but we cannot control that. We exact | from the pupil a ‘promise not to makea | bad use of it, but, as a matter of fact, all | that amounts to is a promise. When | hypnotized & person is in a ::ali-conscious | state. Puta wooden darger in the hand | of a subject and tell him to stab a certain | person, he will not hesitate to do it, but | we claim that if you give him a real dag- ger and tell him o do the same thing, he will not do it, that 1s if the man in his heart, while in hisnormal conaition,wou d do no murder. It wouid be the same with a man who is strongly prejudiced against intoxicating liquors. Though you bid | him to do it he woula not drink. In ihe same way we claim that no advantage could be taken of a woman.” W hat reasons do_your pupils give for “Various reasons,” replied youn Bodg=. “Some want to learn it for busines: rea- sons, some for pleasure and entertain- ment, some for the curative or alleviative man who was in here when you came,” of his first lesson, *'says he wants to use it on his wife who is ill, and who will not consent to let any one else hypnotize her, Physicians are using the power more and more. A physician who cannot hypnotize a patient is scarcely up to date. “‘They ciaim that they are the only peo- ple who should be allowed fo use hypnot- | ism. Idonotsee itinthatlight. Why has | not that man who wa- here a little while | ago as much right to use it for the allevia- tion of pain in his wife as a physician?” “D., women learn hypnotism?” | “Quiie as easily as men. We haveabout | as many ladies, young and old, among our | pupils as men. The ladjes use it for par- | lor amusement, and we have one or two Hamilton Hall a series of characteristic | tagonistic and that the study of spiritual- ism conduces to infidelity in spite of all restraints. “The great trouble with spiritualism is that it lacks facts,’”” said the speaker. *If it were based on any real law of nature it would not be a ‘rathole revelation,” as Em- erson termed it. Why, if the apirits of those we have known can return, do they not come to all of us? Why should a few mediums be the only ones who can hold these communications? “The great trouble is that the origina- tors of this so-called truth have been ex- posed. Irefer to the Fox sisters. They Were not only’ exposed, but they them- selves wen: about the country exposing their own claims, It was the same thing with the so-calied great medium Daniel Hoimes.” The speaker challenged any medium to produce anything of consequence in broad | daylight, and said their best acts were iricks that did not even rival the skill of Herrmann. w“Many of the alleged spiritual phenom- ena depend npon automatism,” he said, “and arise from mental suegesuon.” The speaker thought that mind-reading would account for agrea! deal that now passes for spiritualism. He said he him- self had tried the experiment of bliadfold- ing people and having them find hidden Kknives, etc., in a manner truly marvelous. He believed that much of spiritualism could be accounted for in 8 similar man- ner. WILLIS LOST HIS MONEY. The Rev. W. T, Jordan Accepts a Call to the Calvary Baptist Church of Denver.

Werrel BEATEN BY HIS WIFE, John Marks, After a Fight With His Better Half, Has to Be Sent to the Hospital. John Marks, 441 Jessie street, wag taken to the Receiving Hospital yesterday after- noon for repairs. He presenied the ap- pearance of a man who had passed through a threshing machine. There were five wounds on his scalp, two on his lips, one on his forehead, one on his right cheek and two on each leg. Dr. Bunneil was engaged for about half an hour stitching and dressing them. They were ail superfictal wounds and will soon heal up. Marks said he had some trouble with his wife and she had inflicted the wonnds upon him, but he declined to say what the trouble was about or what weapon she had used. * Mrs. Marks was arrested and booked on the charge of assault to murder. Sheisa small woman, 33 years of nd will- ingly talked aboul the trouble between her and ner husband. The dispute first began about the coal bill and then it turned to her dead sister’s life insurance. Marks got mad and, seizing her by the hair, threw ber on the floor and beat” her. She got to her feet, and as he again seized her by the hair she grabbed a potato masher and struck wildly at him. He took the potato masher from her and then she grabbed a hatchet and struck him several times with it till he was foreed to give up the fight. Mrs. dl-rh declares that she will apply fora it is not contradicted that if two of the members had pledged themselves in the Senatorial matter they could not have been elected. Perkins’ actions in the Con- gressional fight and the Waymire matter have cut deeply. Some of the expressed candidates for office next March have a hard task before them. They are trying to carry morals on one shoulder and potitics on the other, and 1f the necessary diplomacy be not forthcoming, many will perish. The Sun- day-closing question has been revived, and a shrewd uess would be that senti- ment on the matter is about equully di- vided. The question will probably be submitted to l%l people at the nextelec- tion, and on the result the next Council- men will presumably act. This bein so, the opponents of ¢.osing Will muke their fight against both measure and men.
