The Central College of Physicians and Surffeong Graduates a Class Programme of Music Commencement exercises of the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons were heli at English's Opera House last night The lower floor and galleries were crowded. On the 8tace sat the graduates, members of the faculty and board of trustees. . The a tap? was decorated with iotted plants and bright Cowers. The Invocation by the Itev. C. X. Sims was f Uowed by a pleasing musical program. e Interspersed with selections by the J elssenhera orchestra. The first number rendered was the song "Diletto" by Mrs. Lottie Adam-Raschltc. Prof. Wm. B. Fletcher. II. D.. followed with an address on behalf of the faculty. choosf.i as his toplo "Facts and Fallacies cf Hypnotism." Dr. Fletcher said in part: "You have observed that more Is spoken and written about things of which we know nothing, and that which, no one can know. than about the things with which we are more familiar. As my subject is amonj the rormer claes but little time and space will be required to state the known. Of the three professions that of medicine alone admits of fads and fashions; the cut of ;i clergyman's coat or the shar of a lawyer's ve;t may change now and then, but the law and groBi-el remain the same. Fashions in medicine are much like other fashion; they move in cycles and come around now ttjiu in ajs ine noopsiuna anecieu ry the la ales of the court two hundred years aso come back later in the guise of crinolines. "Tha present and most popular medical fad Is known to-day under the name of hypnotism. It came up over one hundred years ago under the special cultivation of Mesmer, and was called by him animal magnetism, but eventually received the name of mesmerism. Under its former wmt Dome five hundred treatises, some of them of many volumes, had been written up to a century agx, but under the lash of ridicule and becauss of its claims to occultism and supposed association with esoteric doctrines the subject faded almost Into obscurity until the latter half of the present century, when it was revived undor th-j present name and placed upon a basij of sclentllic investigation, which it had been denied by the learned academicians of flu re 1 e under another name. "Jiypnotlsm Is a word I might ?ay used by fhe materialist, mesmerism and animal majcr.etlsni by the Spiritualists; the latter believe that there Is a fluid a spirit or psychical essence which goe3 out from the body and enters Into the txrin of another, by which the person may be influenced, controlled and communicated with. Hypnotism, on the contrary, 13 regarded as merely a condition which is Induced by the suggestion of one mind and the following out of the suggestion by another. In mesmerism there were passes and various ceremonies to bring the person under the Influence, though ilesmer himself found this unrecessary, for, as he could not tind time to make pusses over all who consulted him. h placed a baket filled with broken glass, bUs of tinsel and Phlnlnt? bodies in his reception room, .round which the eacrer crowd gathered and mesmerized themselves, and were In a state for the doctor's examination. "The history of hypnotism as given by numerous writers goes back to the early Egyptians. in the oracles of Esculaplus people were cured by putting them to sleep. The Greeks, Roman. Persians and other Eastern nations practiced it. "There 13 no doubt but that most of the m stories of religion and rellfrlo-medlcal practice of the ancients were due to this sucsestlve power. No doubt but the majority of men have a natural desire to believe hi the mysterious and inexplicable on the one hand, while the ambition, cupidity or egotism of the few play upon them. One of the laws of hypnotism is that once hypnotized the more readily does one again fall into that state. FIRST HYPNOTIC STEP. "The first step toward Inducing the hypnotic state is to strongly fix the attention of the subject, and whether this be done by a sharp word of command, causing the eyes to be fixed upon the point of the nose, a revolving mirror or any one object for a few minutes, the physical change in the brain la the same. What that change is no one can explain, and it is enough to say that an effect is produced. The roar of the Hon, the bellowing of the bull and the wail of the bittern will awaken a physical charge In his kind miles away, yet there was nothln? but the vibrations the atmosphere between them; It was a mere lURgestlon that may end in terrific strife, blooodshed and death. Undoubtedly whenever two persons nre brought near each other thre is an effect produced. It Is because of a suggestion conveyed by look, word or motion. It is through this relation of smrscestion that the world's business is carried on, that society U established. One man h;is more suggestive Influence than another, hence we have leadcra in politics, in ufTairs of church and state. It is by the Influence of surestion that juries are cause to bring in verdicts against both law and evidence. Hy powerful suggestion the evangelist brings an audience under his control, making them to weep for their sins or shout for their salvation; by it peaceful rnen are drawn into brawling mobs ready to kill, burn and destroy; by It the physician produces wonderful effect upon his patients by his cheerful words of encouragement. The scientific method of Investigatinghypnotism has not explained all. neither has scientific Investigation of electricity, light or heat told us all. We can comprehend the forces, we can control thm under certain laws, but the causes remain and ever will remain as hidden to the mind of man as his own origin. The first condition to Induce the hypnotlc state is the consent of the Individual to be hypnotized, hence it is not possible to hypnotize criminals. Insane persons or any one not willing to be hypnotized, but a Pi?iii who has once been hypnotized is always an easy subject for the experimenter. Another curious law Is that the most able experimenter may be unable to hypnotize it certain person, and yet that perfon fall readily into that state under tho influence of another. To get the best con trol or a subject a physical condition may I"? produced in some which is known as the leaser hypnotism, vrhleh is a semi-conscious state, wherein every Kueirestloii of the ex perimenter is followed, or the greater hyp notism may be produced, wherein the sub Iect Is unconscious, yet follows FUKKestion lindly. and ptlil another stage may bo reached, wherein the person Is In a pro found sleep. "It is presumed that most Dersons could be hypnotized if they would consent and submit to frequent and prolonged sittings. The time consumed In irolucinsr the con dition in wme is but a fraction of a rninute, by the spoken suggestloa or the pointing of the tinker, while others require from five to fifteen minutes. It is a fact that fewer persons fn America can be hypnotized than in Europe, more in France than an v where, nore In Germany than in Great Xiritaln. more among soldiers than civilIan. An average of all the cases I can collect of the last te.i years shows that In Europe about ten Ir. one hundred and In America about one tu a hundred can be brought into tne hvpnotic state. "The hypnotized known nothing that the hypnotlzer does net suggest or know. Hy irsori4il xperte-nce I may Ray that I have nown a patient to undergo a sunrtca! eceration when waiter waa used Instead of

chloroform, but chloroform and Insensibility was the suggestion. "iiynotlsm as a scientific application to the cure of disease has been greatly over-"

estimated. It may prove valuable in some cases In the hands of some physicians, but when we remember how few persons can lx? hypnotized, and still fewer can induce hypnotism, its use must be quite limited. It is a mistake to believe that only sickly persons can be treated by sustention; there seems to be no relation between the neaun or disease of the subject as to their susceptibility. Christian science, faith cure, the laying on of hands, the mysterious powers of certain fountains, statues, grottoes, pictures and relics are all due to susceptibility to susrestive beliefs. "Clairvoyance? psychical projection, mind reading, etc, are unworthy of consideration at this time, the collusion, sleight of hand business and absolute fraud practiced by those who perform such tricks for money or notoriety are not worth a serious thought. Fairy stories, ghost stories and witchcraft are their parallels, and are In no way related to hypnotism. The little we know of hypnotic suggestion opens a wide field for study and investigation. Although Its history dates from the creation. Its study Is but of few years. The field is open to all of us. Let us calmly, dispassionately study and apply Its laws as physicians should, and apply it worthily to the good of mankind." At the conclusion of Dr. Fletcher's address Mr. Will C Sterne gave a violin solo. "Romance." Miss Maggie Anderson rendered "lielisarlo" as a piano solo. In the absence of Dr. O. C. Smith, president of the board of trustees. Dr. Joseph R. Eastman conferred the degree of doctor of medicine upon the following candidates: John M. Stanley, Isaac Dunn, Clav E. Ward. James It. Powell. Joseph It. Eastman. Willard E. Mapcs, W. C. RItter, Wade Thrasher. William L. Shank. Frank M. Lynn.

The object of the club, primarily, was to furnish programmes of chamber music of the highest orde? and to foster local talent. That Indianapolis has latent talent of all kinds Is well known, but there has been but little effort to bring out its musicians, except in a small way. Mr. F. X. Arens, Mrs. J. R. Lllley and Dr. E. It. Iwis were placed on the programme committee, Mr. Ferd I. Mayer chosen president and Mr. E. C. Miller secretary to take charge of the practical sid- of the organization. The directors were elected, and they in turn elected members who should form the audience side of the club. The artistic part was formed by the programme committee and they secure 1 the Schliewen quartet to perform the compositions. It Is proposed, to give u series of concert each season, and the quartet will

be augmented each time with vocalists or first-class Instrumentalists. The first concert was given last evening at the Propylaeum. and was an artistic, success. The audience, composed of mem

bers only, consisted of prominent society people, who are musicians and lovers of good music. There was no enort to mane it a full-dress affair, but most cf the f:entlemen were In evening dress and tne alies were without bonnets. The plat form was arranged with palms and tne whole effect was pleasing. The programmes were printed with a special "KammerMusik Club" design. The Schliewen quartet consists of Mr. Richard Schliewen, first violin: Miss Eoulse Schrader, second violin; Mr. Rudolph Koster, viola, an 1 Mr. Aaoipn Schellschmidt. violoncello. The assistants were M13S Jeannette Croyse. pianist and Mr. Edward Nell, baritone. The selections were admirably made and were Interesting in every particular. On one pag- of the programme were short histories of the composers and the words of Mr. Nell's song, "Ich Grolle Nlcht." were translated. The work of the quartet was even better than usual. The numbers were not long, as so often Is the case with concerted pieces. The first. "Op. 4:5, allegro con brio." by Volkmann, was followed by two, an "Allegro non Troppo, Op. 23. No. 4" and "Adagio. Op. 76. No. 3" (Kaiser quartet), by Haydn, and then for the piano, violin and 'cello were the three movements of the "Novelletten." by Neils Gade. the "Allegretto Scherzando." "Andantino con Moto" and "Finale." The last number of the evening was a quintet for piano, two violins, viola and 'cello. Miss Crouse assisting the others. "A" was "Two Hungarian Dances" and "b" "Polish Dances." by Scharwenka, the latter arranged by Mr. Schliewen. The variety represented some of the favorite composers of this and the last century, and the playing in every instance was finished, full, round and complete. Mr. Nell has improved so wonderfully within the past year In his singing that his old friends would scarcely recognize his Karltone voice of a twelvemonth ago In that with which he charmed the audience last evening. HI3 songs were "Ich Grolle Nlcht" and "Wanderer's Song." by Schumann, and "A Wondrous Thing This Love Must He," bv Ris, and "Creole Lover's Song," by Dudley P.uck. Mr. Richard Schliewen. polo violinist, played the "Devil's Trill," by Tartlnl, which Is a composition requiring brilliant technique. The directors announce that while they desire that deserved applause should be genero.is as possible, they have arranged that no response shall be made to encores. The next concert will take place Wednesday, April IS, at the Propylaeum, when the principal works to le performed will be the "E Flat Major Quartet." by Mozart; the "Variations from Schubert's Quartet," and "Invitation to Dance," by Von, Weber.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The moral condition of any people depends very largely upon the attitude of the laws towards crime. The laws relating to crime are enacted by the legislative bodies of the State and Nation; the members of these bodies are elected by the votes of the people. The people vote for the men who have been nominated at the primary elections or conventions. Virtually, therefore, the attitude which laws assume in regard to repressing or tolerating evil begins at the nominating conventions. Therefore, the nominating conventions are of more importance than the elections. I desire to call the attention of the members of the church, and especially my brethren In the ministry, to this fact. To attend the primaries i3 a duty in the sight of God that we owe to our country. Too long we have given the selection of officers into the hands of ward bummers. The prayers for our officers and lawmakers offered by that minister who will not attend the primaries must be an abomination to the Lord. It requires no heroism to cast a ballot at the election, for no one knows how one votes; but it requires bravery to go to the primaries and work against the nomination of a Kid man. Let us not only be Christian ministers, but also Christian citizens. "This thou ouhtest to have done and not to have left the other undone." MINISTER. Indianapolis, March 15. Ed A.

FIZZLE IN CALIFORNIA.

Tho "On-to-Washingrtoii" Army of 300 Starts Without Leaders. LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 15. "Gen." Fry's army of unemployed, organized to march on to Washington, is a grotesque failure. The City Council, board of supervisors and ofneers of the' associated charities met this morning and decided to relltve all meritorious cases of destitution, but to recognize no organization of unemployed. Five hundred debars was subscribed for immediate use. Work will be supplied on streets and the vagrant lnw will be enforced. The authorities will disperse any army or like organization. Tha aimy, numbering about three hundred, on learning the rsult of the meeting, abandoned its barracks and marched out of tha c'.ty, apparently beginning Its great march. They had no organization and no leaders. Their leaders are said to have looted the treasury and left the main body without food or rations. The large majority was without blankets. Before they had reached Alhambra, fire miles distant, many had dropped out and retreated to the railroad, In hop3 of catching trains.. Deputy sheriffs and constables along the line of march hflva ion notified, and will arrest mem bers of the dispersed army as fast as opportunity offers, SHAMEKliL ADMISSION. (Concluded from First Pasfe.) envelope for return If not delivered. He said he knew the Importance of the document, and did not want It to get lost. In explanation of the delay In tinding the certificate Butler, said to-day that Dr. Paxton was taken ill a day or two after he performed the marriage and went to the Presbyterian Hospital. Later he went West, where he has since remained. According to Butler, that was the last marriage at which Dr. Paxton officiated before he was taken sick. In his telegram Dr. Paxton gave no reason for Ming the certiheate at thi3 time or for the delay. Butler says the delay was undoubtedly an oversight. He remembers the circumstances of the wedding. Col. Breckinridge came to see Dr. Paxton the night before the marriage to arrange for the ceremony. He did not want the fact that he was going to marry to get out, according to Butler. Colonel Breckinridge and Mrs. Wing went to Dr. Paxton's on the evening of April 23. They were married in the front parlor at 8 o'clock. Butler was not there at the time, but he understood that Colonel Breckinridge and his bride were alone. It now apiears that the certificate was not correctly made out. In it the name of the groom is given as C. P. Breckinridge, while the age of the bride Is omitted. Dr. Nagle, register of the Health Department, has written Rev. Dr. Paxton, notifying him of the defects in the certificate, and demanding an explanation of the failure to report it within ten days after the performance of the ceremony, such failuro being in violation of tho law, and subjecting Dr. Paxton to a penalty of $10. Dr. Paxton Explains. PITTSBURG, March 1C The statement that Colonel Breckinridge and Mrs. Louise Wing had been secretly married by Rev. Dr. Paxton on April 29, 1S03, was confirmed by the latter in an Interview to-night. Dr. Paxton has been stopping here for several months with relatives, and apparently has fully recovered his health. He was at first unwilling to talk abmt the BreckinrldgePollard case, and said he had nothing what ever to do with it. -Ha stated that the mar riage had taken place on the date stated. and he had suppressed the fact to oblige Colonel Breckinridge and the bride. In re sponse to frequent telegrams he had kept putting off recording, and only did It at last to obviate a journey to the capital In the present unsatisfactory state of his health as a witness in this scandal suit. Moved, however, by an apparent desire to make the facts of the marriage as clear as possible, now that they had come out, Dr. Paxton proceeded to fill in the details of the story himself, as follows: "On the 29th of last April my man. Char lie, came to me in my study and told me that a gentleman was downstairs ami wanted to see me. When I went dowrt 'Billy Breckinridge came to me and asked me whether I would marry him and .Mrs. ing. I aid I would, and shurtly alterwards Mrs. Wing drove up to.th iloor in another carriage. This was, I think, about 7:30 in the evening. I took them to the etudy, and called Mrs. Paxton and Eleanora N. Collins, who was stopping at ouf house, to act as witnesses. "After the ceremony Colonel Breckinridge asked me not to put the marriage on rec ord. His children might raise a great fuss. and, besides. It would seem highly improper with his wife dead only nine or ten months, I forget which. Mrs. Ing added her so licitations, as she desired to become ac quainted with her husband s family and win their affections before the marriage was made known. I agreed, and they went away very happy, as ho seemed very de voted to her. "In this old Quaker State, I believe, you must have a licenso to get married. In New York you don't. A minister is just provided with blanks from the Health Bureau which set forth a full history of the parties, as well as the marriage, and go on public record. I simply, did not return mine for this marriage. I have been a. life-long friend of "Billy, and 1 thought myself It was best, all things considered, not to make It public. I suppressed such reports before in affairs of honor, you know, and the like. Everything was going along all right, and I supposed Mrs. Ing was mak ing friends nicely with the family, when up crops this Pollard scandal. I don't know a thing about Miss Pollard, and never heard her name before I saw it In that connection. Almost immediately In June Colonel Breckinridge and Mrs. Wing were publicly married in Kentucky, without con sulting me at all. I next received a telegram not to record the April marriage, at least till after the scandal had blown over. There Is no special law in New York that I know of on the return of marriages. There is nothing to make man hurry up as soon as he has married . touple and get it re cord .43. I never obst d any special time. "Since this suit wa Vegun I have just been followed up by grams from Col. Breckinridge and his :u. ney to come to Washington as a witness. I -would have been willing to go but' for my condition. I want a year and a half rest, and I am taking It So I Just telegraphed to my man, Charlie, who takes charge of the house in my absence, to go to my trtudy, get that marriage record and file It, I considered that was mv share of the evidence all I had to do with the Bult. That was done a I couple of days ago by my man. 1 "I don't know whether by the suppres sion I have rendered myself liable to the law. I don't know whether New York has any law bearing on such suppression. Per haps I have committed a misdemeanor ana may have to pay a fine, as the marriage was nearly a year old wnen registered.

The Post says: "Dr. Preston Scott, brother of Mrs. Scott Wing Breckinridge, the present wife of Colonel Brecklr -Idge, was asked to-day if the statement w 3 true that he had forced Mr. Breckinridge to wed his sister Immediately after the death of the Colonel's former wife. The question, even though less brutally put than expressed above, was not evidently a pleasant one, for the Doc tor's face flushed perceptibly as he de clined to answer It or to discuss in any way 'affairs that should concern only the members of the two families.' "The dav preceding the BrecklnridgeWing wedding In Ix)ulsvllle Dr. Scott visited the newspaper ofllcea and announced that the wedding would take place at his home on the following day. He was told that Colonel I Jreckinridge had already de nied a previous announcement to the same effect. Dr. Scott rather testily replied that tne marriage woum tane place, ana insisted upon a publication to that effect. Subsequent events showed that he knew what he was talking about, although It does not necessarilv follow that the mar riage was a foreod one. It cannot be learned whether or not Dr. Scott and his sister will testify in tho case." How In Thin, Colonel f LOUISVILLE. Ky., March 15. Two weeks before the marriage of Col. W. C. I. Breck inridge to Mrs. Rumsey Wing, in this city, the Commercial learned on what was con sidered good authority that they were be trothed. A reporter was sent to Dr. Scott's residence, where Mr. Breckinridge was stop ping, and Colonel Breckinridge pleaded with him that the matter should not be written up. Colonel Brtcklnrldge was then taken to .the Commercial ottice, and there made the following statement: "I kiiow that it Is al ways !est to be honest with a newspaper man, and I will say to you that I am here now with the consent of Ir. hcott, Mrs. ings brother, to pay my address s to her. She has not yet promised to accept me; I do not know that she ever will, and I be lieve that anything that you might say on.

the subject would injure my suit." They were married about three weeks later. He denied that there ever had been a possibility of his marrying Miss Pollard. Mrs. Wlng'3 rlatives in this city deny any knowledge of a secret marriage.

A Sil vcr-Tonoel Prevaricator. Louisville Courier-Journal, March 11. A telegram of Inquiry in regard to the reported secret marriage of Colonel Breckinridge to Mrs. Wing in New York three months previous to his formal marriage In Louisville was shown to him this evening. He read it, laughed and remarked: "Why. I was not East from the 17th of May until hundav, Aug. C, the day lefore Congrjsd met, when I arrived in Washington with my wife. Nor was Mrs. Breckinridge West until she came to Louisville in June. This Is all the answer I care to make to the liiQulry." FOIL ST. PATRICK'S DAY. Manifesto "to the Irish Nation at Home and Abroad." NEW YORK. March 1C William Lyman, treasurer of the Irish National League of America, to-day issued, on behalf of that organization, a manifesto to the Irish nation at home and abroad. The address condemns parliamentary methods as futile, and advocates revolution as the only means by which Ireland can achieve the restoration of her rights. After declaring that the Irish cause has been betrayed by Gladstone and Rosebery, the address says: "Traitors have brought the Irish cause almost to the verge of ruin. The question Is, who can save it? Rhetoricians or revolutionists? Rhetoric is a poor weapon in a struggle for liberty. Take the history of Ireland for a hundred years. What victories have the rhetoricians gained? None. Free trade that is, the right of Ireland to trade on her own account and legislative Independence were won not by the pen or by the tongue, but by the sworu. The manifesto then gives a retrospect of the various parliamentary attempts made to secure self-government for Ireland between 1733 and 1S70, and concludes as fol lows: "The campaign is not yet over. The struc-irle still goes. on. A critical moment has come. Let those who fight for the prin ciple of Irish nationalitv close their ranks and smite the English foes and Irish trait ors hip and thigh. Once again Ireland has got to depend on the revolutionists. The revolutionists onlv can save her. We must have no more talk. We must have deeds. One blow struck at tne enemy is worth a thousand speeches. Remember this, each and evcrv one of you. and the end of the struggle must soon come In a blaze of glory. Now for revolution and revolution oniy. God save Ireland." ALMOST SEVERED THE ARTERY. Andrew Hansen Badly Injured by a Boy Companion. Andrew Hansen, aged fifteen years and residing at No. 37 Nebraska street, narrow ly escaped death last night as the result of having an artery in a leg cut In a scuf fle with a companion at the corner of Vir ginia avenue and Pennsylvana street. Hansen attends a night school, and in compay with Edward Myers and two other com panions were on their way home, when Myers and Hansen got into a scullle. The two companions stated that the trouble was over an ear of popcorn which the Myers boy had and which the IJansen boy attempted to take away from him. Myers became angry at Hansen, wno is a mucn stronger boy, and drawing a large pocket knife stabbed Hansen in the right leg. Myers Immediately ran away, while the two companion assisted Hansen to walk along. Great streams of blood squirted from Han sen's wound and he rapidly grew faint from the loss of blood. The two succeeded in getting Hansen to the stairway at No. 31 Virginia avenue, where Hansen sank to the ground in a faint. The two companions noticed the sign of Dr. JJeard in the hallWay, and they rushed to nis room am in formed him of the situation. Dr. Heard and M. S. Hays, who has an oilice in the building, hurried to the starway and carried the unconscious form of Hanson to the doctor's operating room. Dr. PfafE and Dr. bluss. of the City Dispensary, were summoned. It was found that the large artery in the right leg had nearly been severed, the physicians labored for over two hours before they were successful in stopping the flow of blood and tying the artery. Hansen was removed to his home about 1 o clock and was expected to recover, though he was very faint from the loss of blood. Patrolman Irish arrested Myers at No. ST Shelby street. The knife with which the cutting was done is an ordinary large pocket knife. Republican Club MeetingF. J. Van Vorhls addressed the Columbia Lincoln League Club last night on the hard times and the tariff question. Judge Stubbs, Charles Wlltsie, William Smith and others also spoke. About fifty Republcans of the Thirteenth ward organized a Re publican club last night at 36U Virginia avenue, olectng W. D. Wilson president and A. M. Glossbrenner secretary.

The immigration of Chinese laborers was p.nd is opposed because it increases "foreign labor, .thousands of immigrants would pro hibit the coming of others, since every ship cargo swells the army of workmen.

The Ameri can in France notices the "octroi" guards. who exact duties from all market products carried into a town.

For the simple reason that I think that was the way In which nature Intended us to sleep. If a human body could be suspended in the air bung like a magnetic needl? you would find that It would act like one. The head of the bodv will eventually point toward the north. It might take time, but it will surely get there. I believe that every person shou'd sleep with his head to the north to get the benefits of the magnetic currents that come from that source.
