MENTAL EFFECTS.

A Healing Test For the Mind.

There are a number of commendable things taught by so-called mind heai«rs. For instance, "Mind is the real being, the real man, which moves the Arms, (legs, eyes, etc., as machines Which do its will." Body it made up •ntirely of what comes from the ground And air. A peculiar compound of earth and water, delicately and most deftly Arranged to be sure, but simple earth And water nevertheless, without any force, 'intelligence or motion in it, except as it is acted upon by the living mi/nd. There seems to be two made to each toody, or two selves, one which runs the so-called automatic memSbers, etomach, heart, bowe'ls, etc., anid the other whloh conducts the movements of the outer members, arms, etc. It is a curious psychological fact that when one Is slightly ailing, a new line of thought will quickly affect the body favorably and particularly if that mental trend runs somewhat as follows: "I am not body. My real self is unseen And Is mind and spirit, which is the same as life. Body being dead, material oaninot complain 'to me except as I sensitize it and permit the complaints." If a person can 'bring themselves to thoroughly believe this without a shadow of doubt, a most curious and healing effect is quickly felt in .the body. 'Man people have not a well enough traiin&d mind to command just what it .shall or shall not do, but where the mind is well in hand, so to 9peak, ithe result of such mental exercise Is marked and cannot be forgotten. We write the above knowing that it will reach the eye of some honest searcher after some of the neiw laws which are lately coming to be known of man, and to say that while on the subject of healthful living it should not'be fongotten that good nourishing food and drink are .necessary and the unnatural ha',bits are better left off than clung o. If the reader has trouble with coffee and has never used th'e food drink, Postum Cereal, it will repay the trial.

MODERN ARGONAUTS.

Mysterious Expedition That Left San Francisco For Alaska. San Francisco, March 12.—A mysterious expedition left today for Alaska.

The stejaim schooner Excelsior was chartered .and so quietly was the matter carried out that the owners of the vessel, C. A. Hooper & Co., know hardly a thing of the plan of the managers. Dast year some wealthy citizens of Boston heard rumors of immense gold bearing deposits at Cook Inlet and A. Pennock, an experienced miner, was sent up to view the country. Pennock made a thorough search for the shining metal and, in his opinion, was successful ibeyond all question.

Pennock, with a few friends, at once measured off ten feet of land which showed gold from the grass roots into bed rock. Water rights were sold and •the iprospectors washed out a few ounces and started for Boston. The gold is both fine and coarse, and the mint 'here values it at $16 per ounce. The Boston investigators incorporated as the Alaska and iBoston Co. and $100,000 was paid in. Henry E. Spaulding and G. T. W. Braman, the .later toeing at the head of the West Side Electrical roads, came to this city and at once began prepai-ations for the expedition. The destination of the expedition has been most carefully guarded, but it is known that t'he Objective point 'is aibout twenty miles from Resurrection creek, at the head of Cook's 'Inlet.

Chicago Cop and Sword Swallower.

John [Reilly—whom they do not speak of so highly—drifted in from Indiana, Thursday and applied at the dime museum for a jolb.

Rei'lly's specialty is swallowing swords, although he occasinally swalBows something more agreeable. As lie -had indulged in the latter employment during t'he day he failed to o'btain work, and, In anger and mortification he tore wildly down 'Dearborn street, says the Inter Ocean.

The freak stopped at Polk street, and -drew an audience iby crying that he was •the most artistic sword eater in forty states.

To /back his statement he drew 'from (beneath his cat a huge corn knife, which !he proceeded to thrust down his throat. 'Detective IMelMahon appeared at that moment and, believing he had frustrated the mad act of a suicide, hustled QReiSly to the armory.

The prisoner explained to Justice Underwood yesterday morning that although he was refused a jdb at each place he applied, he would make humanity marvel with his 'corn knife, in defiance of freakshop owners. "You have forgotten," said Justice Underwood, as he wrote down $5 and costs upon the docket. "that the pen Is mightier than the corn knife. You may marvel at Bridewell for ten days. Clerk, seize the snickeronee!"

CONGRKSS&AN LINE! IMPROVES ON HENRI WATTKKSON'S PHRASES*

The North Carolina Representative strikes at Ballot Box Frauds—Maritime Canal Bill In the Senate*

Washington, March 12.—In the house today on motion of Mr. Johnson of Indiana a resolution was adopted by which the claim of Coleman of the Second Xiouisiana district to the seat of Mrj Buck was decided in favor of the litter. The contested election case of Aldrich vs Robbing from the Fourth Alabama district, in which the Republicans -recommended the seating of Aldrich was called up.

The speech of Mr. Liney of North Carolina in favor of seating the contestant was the feature of the day. His denunciation of election frauds was most vehement. "Fraud upon the 'ballot Ibox," he said, "was the red-eyed daughter of high treason." It was, he said, the one great menace to the republic. The report of the minority itself showed that in one county Robbins received 3,177 fraudulent votes.

He read to the great amusement of the house questions propounded to witnese3s and their answers in regard to the votes of certain persons. "Did you know John Williams?" "Yes, sah. He's been dead ten years." "There," said Mr. Liney, addressing the 'Democratic side, "is a spectacle for you Democrats—a man who was a good Democrat all his life and then voted again ten years after death." "Yes, I knew him," replied another witness. "Where did you see him last?" was the queery. "Swinging to the branch of a tree in 1893. He was a Democrat." "I do not attack Mr. iRoibfbins," said Mr. Liney, ''but vicious methods and, I say, wither the hand that attacks the ballot box let it wither and die as if it •had touched the arte of the covenant. (Applause.)

Mr. Royse of Indiana closed the debate for the day with a speech in favor of seating (Mr. Aldrich.

At 510 the house adjourned.

THE PACIFIC RAILROADS.

C. P. Huntington's Statement to the House Investigating Committee. Washington, (March 12.—The house committee on (Pacific railroads today listened to a statement "by C. P. Huntington, similar to that made before the senate committee, in advocacy, of a plan of settlement of the Pacific railroad indebtedness. In concluding his address, Mr. Huntington remarked that •no man was so anxious as he to see the road's pay 100 cents on the dollar that ((0 was the last great work of his life he was doing only small things mow, and he hoped tolive to see all his affairs on a solid (basis. I'f he equaled the record otf his great grandfather, he had yet thirty years of life.

A rambling discussion, participated in by (Mr. Huntington and members of the committee, consumed half an hour. One of the questions asked by Chairman Powers was whether, under the company's plan, the Southern Pacific would ibe able to-guarantee the payments.

The Southern Pacific is a solid old company," Mr. Huntingdon replied, and, while I would not like to do anything to make it pay much money, I would toe willing that it should guarantee these payments, because I am so sure it would not he called on 'to pay. I am only one of

several,

ibut I have been

running this thing thirty years, and what I say generally goes. I am willing to promise these payments."

When Mr. Powers inquired if the charter of the Southern Pacific granted hy the Kentucky legislature was" broad enough to permit this, Mr. Huntington answered: "Oh, that is ibroad enough to do most anything," and the committeemen laughed. "T.hat is a.broad charter and a. clean charter/' ^he.,added, "and has just about done all we.panted it tp do." r„v,-

Then"Mr. Harrison, a 'Democrat of Alabama, inquired whether the income from the road during the past ten years would not warrant a higher rate of interest than 2 per cent. 'No, there has got to he a little margin," was the reply.

Another question was whether the company could have met the requirements of ~th.e 'Reilly hill of the last congress, and Mr. Huntington replied: "Oh, no. You might as well tell a drowning man that there is a rail on shore, and he can save himself if he will go and get that. That bill was a financial impossibility."

Mr. Huntington asserted that all .the people of California flavored the funding plan, except a few hundred who had a grievance that the congressmen opposing the bill had grievances because the road went out olf politics, and that seven-eighths of California's population was with him.

THE GOULDSESCAPE.

Payment of Ten Million Delinquent Taxes Evaded. New York, March 12.—The Goulds will not be compelled to pay the taxes on $10,500,000 which were assessed in this ci'jy for the year 1895. Five suits have been filed against the estate of Jay Gould and his sons and daughters to enforce the finding of the commissioners of the taxes and assessments. The defendants pleaded non-residence. When the case against George J. Gould came up for hearing before Judge Pryor in the special term of the Supreme Court today the corporation counsel's representative announced that it had been determined to abandon the suits, on the ground that the defendants could establish the plea of non-residence.

INDIANA'S MUSICIANS.

TEACHEBS AND VIRTUOSOS WILL ATTEND THE JUNE CONVENTION. vx Madam Bloom field, the Jewish Singer, is to

Be Secured—Committees of Arrangements, Appointed Last Night* 'W

Though neariy four months distant, arrangements axe making for the state convention of the Indiana Music Teachers' Association, to be held in Terre Haute. The focal leaders 'In1 music will leave nothing undone ib make the visit to this city of -the 300 delegates and visitors a pleasant and profitable one.

There was a meeting last night, at which committees were appointed to take up the preliminary w*ork. The arrangement of a programme Is. of bourse, the principal feature. TWIs work is in the hands of Oliver W. Pierce of Indianapolis, Mrs. C. B. Adams of this city and Mrs. Wm. McLean of EvansvtfJle. The recognized ability of the members of this comm'lttee insures the selection of the most accomplished musicians that ever appeared in Terre Haute.

The committee has all but closed a contract With Mme. Bloomfleld, the Jewish singer, who has a national reputation. Mme. Bloom field will appear at Indianapolis next week, it which time arrangements will be perfected for her coming to the state convention. Mr. Pierce and Mrs. Adams are agreed t'he programme shall consist of ten recitals. The day programme will

!be

given (by

state performers, at night the attractions from other cities. It has .been agreed also that Mme. Blfctamfield shall be the attraction Tuesday and the Terre Haute and Paris (111.) Treble Clef Clulbs on Wednesday evening. The two Treble Clef Clulbs have gixty singers. Some of the musicians who have 'been secured for the day re'cltal are Mrs. Lott'ie Adams itaschig, one of the best sopranos in Indianapolis Mr. Adams of Delaware, O., Pxlofesdor Tripp of Canada and 'the Inldifanapolis Ladies' 'Matinee Mus'iicale.

X. Arena ol Indianapolis is booked for an illustrated paper.

A few of Terre (Haute's lovers of good music have labored untiringly for the success of 'the convention. At their own expense they attended the iNew Albany convention and secured the '96 meeting for this city. It was.a tbig undertaking, for it is known throughout 'Hoosierd-otn that Terre Haute has not patronized fine attractions as has other cities of iless population. The convention was finally moved to give the city

sel fiTled and sunk, giving 'the crew no chance to get provisions or water. The 4 its presence this yfear, and it now re-

mains for the people to demonstrate by their attendance at the recitals that the confidence of the delegates was not misplaced. •In a few days a committee composed of Messrs. CH. 'E. Owen, Fred Kessler and Fred {Paige will canvas 'the city for members. Seventy have already been secured, and it is the 'belief of the committee this number will 'be increased to 500 before June.

WHY THE JUDGE IS HAPPY. Greencastle Banner-Times: Judge Taylor of Terre Haute has again locked horns with The Express of that ciity. The judge should get It through his.head that newspapers haive some rights as well as courts. He demanded an apology firom The Express and didn't get it. Th'is thing of demanding an apology from a newspaper and getting it are two entirely different things. The Express should express Its opinions in a free manner whenever it sees fit and-if they strike Judge Taylor and the shoe fits- ,Wim he ought to take his medicine. ^Newspapers are as often right as are cirpu'It judges.

Crawfordsvill'6 Journal: It seems an impossible 'task for the Terre Haute Express to please Judge Taylor otf the circuit court of Vigo county. He has jailed a reporter of thlait paper for alleged contempt. Four --ears ago Chits same judge jailed the edtor. The editor came out on top then as the reporter probably will now

Port Wayne Gazette: A judge down at Terre Haute felt -that the editor of The Express had committed contempt of court because a criticism of the judge's official action appeared in the columns of the paper, and announced that unless the editor apologized within a certain time he would be brought before (his honor and compelled to answer why he should not be summarily dealt with. The time came and the. judge doubtless eagerly' scanned

nunciamento would have upon the editor, and hie must have shaken hands with himself when he discovered Chat the ediitor had repeated his criticism in even more severe terms than at first. The judge accepted the second statement as an ample "apology," and the fearless editor is still out of jail. It is really too bad that so many who wear the judicial ermine are Imposed upon and maltreated by these wicked newspaper men.

Of the suit of tihe second mortgage /bondholders of the IL.., !E. & St. X,., the ^Jvanavillle Courier says editorially: "Another "effort has been inaugurated to remove General ,Wilson and E. O. Hopkins from the receivership of the L., E. & St. !L railroad. The failure of .a previous effort to oust them on the ground that tihey were not managing the property successfully, it wae thought would give them immunity from any Ifurther annoyance. The present movement, however, seems to have an organization) behind it with the probable purpose of buying in the property and reorganizing it on a permanent basis. Messrs. Wilson and Hopkins lhave always been able to give a good accounlt of themselves whenever their official conduct has been challenged, and ino doubt they will be a'ble to do so now."
