VICE PRESIDENT IS GREAT WALKER When Weather Permits Fairbanks Walks One Way to or From Capitol. SELDOM SEEN AT THEATER VICE PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE HAVE UPHELD SOCIAL TRADITIONS OF OFFICE BY NUMEROUS FINE RECEPTIONS. (By A. W. Tracy.) Washington, May 15. When it comes to walking, Vice-President Fairbanks might bo termed an Englshman. If the weather and the time permit, it is the habit of the vice-president to walk one way, either to or from the capitol. He is a great believer in the peripatetic branch of physical culture as an aid to health and always like to pick up a friend to enjoy with him tho air and the exercise of a two mile walk. Senator Hemenway, who likes his walking in small doses, Is frequently a companion as their homes lie in the same direction. If the vice president dislikes to walk alone, for riding alone he has an equal aversion and a friend may always be seen with him when he drives to or from the capitol. Vice President Fairbanks seldom goes to the theatre and does not care so much for that kind of amusement, although he is occasionally on hand when there is something extra good to be seen. He is a regular attendant upon church services and is to be seen at the Metropolitan Methodist church, McKinley's church, nearly every Sunday morning. Social Entertainers. The social traditions of the vicepresidential office have been followed in the hospitality dispensed at the K street home this winter. Pleasantly located at head of Farragut Square, the wrraer home of Senator Standford of Calfornia, is admirably suited to the scale of entertaining required of its present occupants. The most notabe functions this season were tho dinners given in December, one to the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, and the other to James Whitcomb Riley, at which were invited to meet him, the members of the Gridiron club, the meet famous newspaper organization in the world. In February the Vice President and Mrs. Fairbanks gave a reception to the members of the Senate and invited to meet them the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, the cabinet, the members of the House of Representatives, the members of the newspaper fraternity in Washington, and their wives, be sides other guests. This reception was in keeping with a long standing custom. GIFT TO LIBRARY FUND Whltelaw Reid Recognized Fiftieth Anniversary of His Graduation at Miami. Palladium Special. Hamilton, O., May 13.

JOSEPHINE TERRANOVAS . WILL TRY TO SHOW THAT INSANE FROM INNOCENT SHAME SHE KILLED UNCLE AND AUNT. Publishers' Press New York, May 15. Because of the whim of 17-year-old Josephine Terranovas, the Italian girl who is on trial for the-rnurder of her aunt and uncle, that no jurymen other than those who have "daughters be selected to serve on the panel, the special panel of one hundred was exhausted this afternoon but 11 men had been selected and court was adjourned until tomorrow so that another panel could be summoned. It is Josephine Terranovas' aim to place in the jury box men who would appreciate her position as fathers of daughters, she alleging that she committed the crime because of the maltreatment of her uncle aided and abetted by her aunt. She is following out her plan so as to excite sympathy with a girl who, the defense, alleges, was an innocent party to wrong-doing for several years and knew nothing of the position in which she was placing herself. Then, it is the object of the defense to prove, the realization of her shame drove her temporarily insane and while in that condition she committed the crimes which resulted in her arrest. The case promises to develop Into one of the most remarkable murder cases of recent years, eclipsing both the Patterson and Claiche trials. MUST REMAIN IN PRISON Supreme Court Refuses Supersedeas Pending Action in the Sherrick Case. Palladium Special. Indianapolis, Ind., May 15. The Supreme Court today refused to grant a supersedeas pending appeal in the case of David E. Sherrick. No opinion was pronounced except the word "denied" indorsed on the back of the petition. The court was asked to order the prison authorities "to release him from such imprisonment in such penitentiary pending this appeal and until the final decision thereof upon appellant's giving bond in such sum and with such surety as this court mav direct, that he will obey and perform all orders and judgments that may be rendered herein." The two grounds on which the application was based were that the evidence conclusively shows that Sherrick did not receive the money as Auditor which he was accused of embezzling, and that one juryman, Louis Held, had misled defendant's attorneys by saying that he had not formed nor expressed an opinion on Sherrick's guilt when, it is asserted, he really had done so.

WILD DRJVE BLINDFOLDED VISITING HYPNOTIST FINDS HID.

DEN ARTICLES AND RETURNS THEM TO PLACES GENNETT PERFORMANCE A SUCCESS.

From the standpoint of interest and,( pure amusement, the appearance ot Prof. Galvani, the hypnotist, at the.' Gennett last night, was an unqualified success, and his large audience, made up of citizens who are naturally skep tical when the question ot mind read: ing is brought up, was convinced that his entertainment was genuine and that the eight or ten subjects chosen from the audience were truly hypnotized. ' ' ! The entertainment was full of suhl prising features at every turn an showed beyond a doubt that Galvini possesses an accurate knowedge off his subject hypnotism. Hundreds Witness Drive. In the afternoon the drive of Pr6 Galvini through the business , district of Main street, bindfolded as; he wasi was witnessed by hundreds of people This feat has been dene before here but the way it is done,, is. remarkable Galvani drove . at full speed,;.blindfold4 ed, between street cars, carriages an4 buggies, but at no time did he striks anything. In an effort to convince people thai he was all that he claimed for him self, prior to his appearance on tha stage. Prof. GalVini made a wonderful exhibition of mind reading and sue ceeded in finding three articles that vhad been placed ln a part of the city unknown to Galvani, and he even re stored them to their original owners. In making his exhibition he chose two ' newspaper men and four other citizens, among them the chief of police. He secured a carriage from , Green's livery barn and drove horses that he had never before seen. He instructed the six men whom he had chosen to divide themselves into three com-, mittees. Each committee was to procure some small article and hide it In any part of the city deemed desirable. A smal piece of candy, a pen holder and a steel file were chosen and all three were hidden ln different parts of the Court House. Used a Copper Wire. The committee drove bac kto Tenth and Main streets and there , met Galvini, who was blindfolded. He took charge of the reins and then,' made his wild dash down Main street. He turned several corners before he 1 brought up in front of the Court House. On the ride there, he had a wire fastened around his forehead and it was, in turn, grasped by each of the six members of the committee. This, he said, enabled him to guide' himself ln the direction of the hld den articles. Once at the Court House., he finally; , found the things which had been care fully concealed, in places unknown to any but the committee alone and then drove back to Tenth and Main streets. He then undertook to deliver the articles to the exact places where they had been taken. The candy he took to the Westcott Pharmacy; the pen to the back room of the Starr Pl ano Co., and the file was left In its' original resting place near the Starr Piano Co. building. Laughable Things Done. Last night, between eight and ten well known Richmond young men were hypnotized and made to do vW rlous laughable things that they would not have thought of doing had they been controlled by their own minds. One ate an onion, because the Professor said it was an orange. Others fought for potatoes and ate them, peeling and all, thinking they were peaches. Two were told that' they were rival pugilists and to fight each other. This scheme worked well twice. Innumerable other tricks were done which showed how completely Galvini held the young men In his power. Sleeper Was Awakened. The man who was asleep In the window of the Starr Piano Co- was awakened from his 24 hours dream- at the theatre, at the beginning of last evening's entertainment. This man is carried with Galvinl's outfit and at the performance last night, showed! how completely the body can be made subject to the mind. He was I hypnotized, and ordered to make himself perfectly rigid. This he did and a large piece of lime stone, weighing nearly 200 lbs was placed in the middle of his trunk as he lay stretched out between two chairs, one supporting his head, the other his heels. Prof. Galvini took a sledge hammer and broke the large stone to bits, while it was supported on the sleeping man's body.
