OURCAUITALLETTER INTERESTING GOSSIP ABOUT THE INCOMING INDIANA LEGISLATURE SpenkrrKliip Cont^Ml SomethInff About, the “Thinl Hou^e" Vigoroiift Kick on the Mari«»u Comity Hoj; Editors Will

Ask For New Uhcl Law. [Special (Virrespondence.'j

Indianapolis, .Tan. 1.—Although it is ovi-r .a week yet before the assembling of the legislature, the “push” has already begun to form and it In-gins to look as though the attendant crowd would almost equal that of a state convention. There is scarcely a comity in the state that has not at least one candidate for some one or more of the various positions at the disposal of the lawmakers, and each candidate will marshal as many of his friends as possible at the capital. Naturally, the candidates for speaker are the first on the ground, and they will all lie here before the week is over. All the rooms on the park., floor of the Denison have be.-n rented by speakership aspirants as headquarters and the hotel will bear very much the appearance of convention time. Since you printed a list of candidates a month ago but two have dropped out of the race, but there are still 12 who are “mentioned.” As the friends of two of them claim over 25 votes each and others expect to start with followings ranging rom five to 15, while there are but 82 votes in the caucus, it is evident that somebody is likely to be more or less disappointed when the ‘‘show down” comes on t!-.' first ballot. And do you know that it is the easiest thing in tl> world for a candidate for oftice to deceive himself? One of his friends hears 13 make a remark favoraable to him, and immediately the friend sets 11 down us his warm supporter and so reports him to the candidate, who henceforth counts upon B’s vote and influence. Now, the fact is, that 13 is pledged to another candidate, but he nevertheless has a kindly feeling for the man in question. He means to speak well of him, and nothing more. But the candidate and his friends are perennially hopeful and they interpret < very indication in its rosiest light. The plain, harsh truth is that the only man you can depend on through thick and thin when in pursuit of office, is the

three for doorkeeper, at least two for state librarian, three that I know of for custodian of the capitol building, two for engineer of the same building and an innumerable swarm after the minor positions about the house and senate, not to sj)eak of those who are asking for clerkships under the state officers.” Then he took breath and started in again. “Now, the friends of both your candidates for speaker are declaring that if the speakership goes to Marion county that will end the demand from Indianapolis right there. That may do to tell new people, but it don't go down with me. I’ve Is-en here before and I know that Marion county is never satisfied until there is nothing more left to give out and then there is a ‘kick’ because there is nothing left.”

The legislative committee of the Republican Editorial association, at its session here lust week, decided to ask for little from the legislature, but to make a strenuous effort to obtain that little. Although much possible legislation of benefit to the schools was discussed, the editors decided to pin their faith to a new libel law. Indiana has the worst libel law of any state in the Union, say the newspaper men. It puts the newspaper entirely at the merch of any irresponsible attorney who is hunting for damage suits on ‘‘contingent fees.” There is scarcely an editor in the state who has not suffered a species .of blackmail rather than go to the expense and trouble of defending a suit under a law which makes the slightest error in statement prima facie evidence of malice. They favor the Minnesota law, which gives fair opportunity for the correction of an error and gives both sides an even I chance before the law. The committee will meet again on Jan. 8 in joint session with committees from the other editorial associations of the state. The legislature of 1898 seemed to suffer from a sort of "pressaphobia.” There were a numlier of men in it who seemed to “have it in for” the newspapers, and whenever they fonml an opportunity to hit an editorial head or cut off a source of newspaper revenue they hastened to do it. It is gratifying to the newspaper fraternity to note that without exception these men failed of renomination by their parties in their home districts.

New York, Deo. 27.—Some of the latest models and designs in dresses make one think of dolls, such as we see along toward the holidays in the show windows, in at ked “From Paris. ” The same stiff looking arrangement of the

CONCERNING HYPNOTISM. Whether It* Influence Re Good or Had, It Im Much In Evidence at Prenent. (Special Correspondence. J Chicago, Dec. 27. — Whether hypnotism as at present understood and practiced is a power, on the whole, for good or for evil is a mooted question, but the fact remains that the people, the press and the medical profession are giving much more attention to it and its discussion nowadays than over before, and the general interest in the subject is greatly stimulated by such claims as that recently put forth by two girls of Eau Claire, Wis., that they had been! put under hypnotic control against their 1 wishes by a doctor of their acquaint- 1

There are some persons who have not even yet concluded to accept hypnotism as a fact. Very few of these doubters,

In fact, it would not be far from the trutli to say that nearly (very practitioner of note who makes a specialty of such disorders calls in the aid of hypnotic suggestion in his practice. Besides there are in many cities men who make excellent incomes as hypnotists pure and simple, j their work being mainly confined to ex- ; hibitions, healing treatments and the | instruction of others in the art of hypnoty. A hypnotist of this city with whom I talked recently said that his greatest concern was lest he should make i

an unwise selection of pupils.

“I recognize the fact, ” he said, “that hypnotism may be made an instrument of evil as w( 11 as of good, and I never take as pupils any who cat not bring unimpeachable references. Yon see that in t lie hands of unscrupulous or ignorant persons the power to hypnotize might be very dangerous indeed to society. 1 need not mention all the ways in which this danger might exist, but I know of several instances in which petsous who have only half learned ihe art have succeeded in putting a subject to sleep all right, hut have been utterly

The personnel of the “third house” of the coming legielatnre has not yet been printed, a fact which probably arises from the innate modesty of the members of this august body. They are not elected by the people and do not court publicity in any shape, yet they are usually more numerous and sometimes fully as powerful as the membership of either of the regulary constituted branches. At the last session the political complexion of the “third house” was distinctly different from what it

will be this year.

It is not unlikely, however, that the corporation interests having “pork in the pot” will have workers on the scene and will be able to bring together an equally prominent lot of Republicans thus year, for by the time a man grows to wealth and prominence he is usually

Much interest was aroused last week by the little dinner given to the cou-gressmen-elect by the (hum of the delegation, Hon. < bu). \V. Steele, at Marion. Eleven members attended and about all ! they accomplished was to get acquainted with each other and exchange sooial amen'ties.

Around the waist is a ruby velvet belt, with a rosette of the same. The blonse effect is obtained by having the waist gathered full and being two or three | inches longer than the lining.
