The feat of mind-reading, in the attempt of which Bishop lost his life in New York a year and a half ago, lias been successfully ac- p. A. JOHNSTONE, complished in Chi­ cago by Paul Alexander Johnstone. Mind-reader Johnstone drove blindfolded through the crowded streets of the city from the Auditorium to the Grand Pacific Hotel, and, still with a handker­ chief tightly bandaged over his eyes, picked out of an old register a name that had been selected for the test by a com­ mittee of disinterested citizens. It was a similar feat whicli killed Bishop and it nearly killed Johnstone. A doctor worked over him for three hours to drag him out of an attack of congestion of the brain into which he had been thrown by his adventure. The doctor saved him, but he will never attempt the feat again. He fias had enough. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon a score of people comprising representatives of the press and a special committee sat in the south parlor of the Auditorium Hotel and watched with considerable interest the nervous antics of a pale-faced young man in a closely buttoned Prince Albert coat, who was about to undertake what is conceded the most difficult accdinplish- ment in mind-reading. V Tho committee selected to supervise the undertaking and see that it did not partake of the appearance of a "fake" consisted of Dr. G. F. Butler, B. A. Johnson, editor of the Lumber Trade Journal, Charles Lederer, the artist, W. C Wright.,- and Thaddcus Dean. These gentlemen sat together in one end of the room and listened with some fncredulity Buren streets Johnstone alighted and led a member of the committee to the middle of the streot. After standing a moment ho appeared to recover his bearings, for he hurried back to tho car­ riage and drove without further hesita­ tion to Clark street, where he drew up hi front of Gore's Hoteh, just one block south of the Grand Pacific, thus proving that the only error he had made was in turning from Michigan avenue to Adams instead of Monroe. When informed of his mistake he asked Mr. Dean to fix his mind on the proper direction to take. Mr. Dean apparently selected the right direction, for a moment later the vener­ able gentleman was being violently pulled along the pavement toward the Grand Pacific. A jostling crowd fell in behind. Turning into the entrance, tho mind-reader hurried to the exact spot where Mr. Lederer had been left with the register. Here his strength appeared to desert him, and he would have faint­ ed had not a glass of liquor been put to his lips. He was allowed a few mo­ ments' rest in a private room and then was led behind the desk in the rotunda, with the book before him and the mcm- hars qS the committee standing about. AT THK HOTEL.

THE STATE REPUBLICAN BY AN t""|^WCRBA8ED DOINGS OF CONGRESS. MEASURES CONSIDERED AND ACTED UPON. to the announcement of what Mr. John­ stone proposed to do. "A portion of the committee will leave here in a carriage and drive by some cir­ cuitous route to the Grand Pacific Hotel," said the restless and excited young man. "There you will select a hotel register and mutually agrer? upon a name therein, fixing in your minds the appearance of the signature and the date of 1lifi same. Then you will return here, and after ! have hlindfolcfPtf mjyself and covered iny head with a cloak; I'will drive over the same route to the hotel and pick out the name in the register and write it. Keep the exact particulars of the drive in your mind, as I must depend on your recollec­ tion of what happens to guide me. I>on't drive too far, as 1 fear that it will require pji my strength to complete the difficult tent at the hotel." An open carriage was waiting at the Michigan avenue entrance of the hotel. W. C. Wright was to remain with Mr. Johnstone, and the other fivo gentlemen of the committee went down and took their places in the vehicle, witli Mr. Dean at the reins. It was arranged that ho should do all of the driving and not leave the seat during the test. The com­ mittee drove north on Michigan avenue to Monroe street, west on Monroe street to Wabash avenue, south on Wabash avenue to Adams, west on Adams to Taking Mr. Lederer by the hand, the blindfolded man began rapidly turning the leaves. When he reached the proper place he exclaimed: "That's it, Aug. 25! Is thr.'j right? Tell me, quick, is that right?" "Yes, that is the right page," said Dr. Butler. At this point the young man again came very near going into a ner­ vous collapse, and it was several minutes before he could proceed. "Now, gentlemen," said he, "think in­ tently of the appearance of this signa­ ture. " He leaned over the page, beat it with his hands, passed his palms nervously across tho foreheads of those about him, and then asked that a coat be thrown over his head. This was done, and after further lightning maneuvers suddenly called out: "A paper and pencil, quick." They were handed him, and leaning on the book he wrote an almost correct fac­ simile of the signature before him, "J. G. Butler, Jr." As if doubting the cor­ rectness of this, he again called for a pencil and wrote the name a second time. "Am I right?" nervously shouted John­ stone. "You are,"shouted the committee, and the big crowd cheered tho accomplish­ ment of a wonderful effort. Johnstone burst into tears when he heard the shout, and ho was carried away sobbing. His temperature and pulse were remarkably high, and his heart-beat was as rapid as the thumping of car-wheels on the joints of a short- railed track. Nearly everybody else who saw the torture he endured while he was trying to find the name felt about as bad, and the committee looked like ghosts in plug hats. When Johnstone came down from his room he reeled between his at­ tendants. .He was driven homo and therg* he had the attack which nearly cnd&t'liltii. He fell oyer onto a lounge, his face became purple, his jaw dropped, Speaker Reed Be-elected by a tirj# Vote--Chairman Manley'a Mesftage to 1'renirient Harrlnon--Figures from the KlecUou frwsiocU-Tlie Ticket Else­ where.

BOUTELLE Portland (Me.) dispatch: Gov. Bur­ leigh and the four Republican Congress­ men, including Speaker Reed, are elect­ ed by majorities larger than were expected. Mr. Reed's majority will be almost double that of 1888, and the vote cast all over the State was much larger thau the Republicans had even hoped for. In this city four Republican legisla­ tors aud one Democrat areelected--the latter ou account of local dissatisfac­ tion. There is great enthusiasm in the city among the Republicans over the, result of Reed's election, and a big meeting was held in City Hall, with an address by Reed, under the auspices of the Young Men's Republican club. Chairman Manlev of the Republican State committee sent at midnight «lio following dispatch to President Harri- son: "Maine gives the largest Republican majority thrown in an off year since 188(5 and a larger majority than given In a presidential contest since I8f>8. with the single exception of 1*>84 and 1888. Gov. Burleigh is re-elected by a majority exceeding 15,000. Speaker Reed is re-elected by the largest ma­ jority he ever received, exceeding 4,r><)0. Representatives Dingley, Boutelie, and Miliken are elected by majorities rang­ ing from 3,000 to r.,000. The Pine Tree State indorses your administration and remains firrti in its advocacy of protec­ tion to American industries and Ameri­ can labor." Two hundred and ten give Burleigh 40,385; Thompson. 37,427; Clark, 561; scattering, 958. The same towns in 18S8 gave a Republican vote of 50,351; demo­ cratic, 37,214; prohibition, l,T7n; scatter­ ing, 1,089. Republiman plurality, 13,508: against 13,007; Republican gain, 501. If the towns to hear from fail off in the same proportion the final vote should stand) Republican about 64,500: Demo­ cratic, 35,500; scattering, H,<>00; total, 1J 3.000. Iu 1886. the last off year, the vote stood Republican, 68,901; Democratic, 55,289: Prohibition, 3,S»58 scattering, 23; Repub­ lican plurality, 13,702. This year the plurality will be about 19,000, a gain of 5,300 and 1,000 ahead of the Presidential year. The Prohibi­ tion vote comes united with the scat­ tering or omitted, so it is classed as scattering and may be considerably larger. The members of Congress are all re-elected by large majorities, Mr. Reed's being doubled. The county officers are mostly Republicans. The Senators are probably all Republican, as in the last Legislature, aud the Rep­ resentatives must stand fully as strongly Republican--namely, J25 Republicans to 26 Democrats. Forty-eight out of fifty-three towns in the First district give Reed 16,091; Frank, 11,339. Reed's plurality, 4,752, against 2,439 in 1888. The remaiuing towns are small and will not materially change these figures. Cumberland countv Is incomplete, but no doubt the Republican county ticket was elected by pluralities ranging from 1,500 to 2,000.

"This ends him," said his manager, but there was life in the boy when Dr. J. H. Law came. The Doctor labored over him and brought him to conscious­ ness. "I will never try it again," he mut­ tered, and then became delirious. In his ravings he went over the afternoon's ad­ ventures and three men fought hard to keep him from jumping through a-win­ dow. The Doctor said thn strain had produced congestion of the brain. But he had successfully accomplished tho marvelous feat, and not one of the committee was in any doubt as to the exhibition being a genuine case of mind- reading, self-induced hypnotism, or something elte just as wonderful. JUDGE HOWARD DEAD. Sketch of the Well-Known Michigan Law jrer and Pioneer. Flint (Mich.) dispatch: Judge Sum­ mer Howard died Sunday after nearly a year of feeble health. He was born at Urockport, N. Y., in 1835 and came to Michigan with his parents in the fol- "lowlng year. He learned the printer's trade, but l<}ft it an early age to become a lawyer. In 1858 he was elect­ ed prosecuting attorney ol Genesee county. During the rebellion he served in the Second Michigan Infantry. In 1876 he became district attorney in Utah, where he assisted in convicting John D. Lee ffcr complicity in the Mountain Meadow massacre. In 1882 he served as Speaker of the Michigan Legislature and in 1884 he was ap­ pointed Chief Justiee-of Arizona. Iu 188x he returned to Flint and resumed his law practice. OF INTEREST TO BOOKWORMS. State, south on State to Jackson, west on Jackson to Clark, and' then north on Clark to the entrance of the Grand Pacific Hotel. Leaving Mr. Dean at the _eins, the other committee-men went to the desk and were given a register full of names. The book was taken out to the carriage, and, after some discussion, the committee decided on the name of J. Butler, Jr., Youngstown, Ohio, the date being Aug. 25.1800. Leaving Mr. Lederer to guard the register, and see that no one touched it in the meantime, the committee drove back to the point of starting. Durine their absence Johnstone paced the floor like a caged tiger. Dr. Butler and Mr. Johnson were selected to take charge of him in preparation for the drive. They blindfolded him and then placed over his head the velvet cloak. Then Dr. Butler traced on the wali with his finger the route they had driven, in­ dicating the turns made and the number of blocks in each direction. When he concluded the young man clutched his hand and rushed down tho stairway two steps at a time to the carriage. He was assisted to the seat beside Mr. Dean, given the lines, and in a moment was guiding the spirited team along Michi­ gan avenue, while a dozen cabs and car­ riages filled with students of psychical phenomena rattled along behind. When tho cloaked driver swung his team west on Adams street, instead of Monroe, it looked as though he had failed at the very start. It was the only mistake he made. He drove west on Adams one block to Wabash, then south to Jackson, west to State, south to Van Buren, and west to Dearborn. Here ho seemed to lose his hearings or realize that a mistake had been made. The drive up to this point had been attended with several difficulties and delays. The streets were tilled with vehicles and a crowd of 500 curious people followed tho carriage. At the corner of Adams and Dearborn streets the tongue of the car­ riage ran into the heel of an express wagon and the consequent stop and ex­ citement probably assisted in diverting the mind of the driver. At the comer of Dearborn and Van The Summer Home of Gen. Caster's Faith­ ful Widow. Mr. Hutton. in his literary notes in the current Harper's, compares Mrs. Custer with her books commemorating her gallant*husl aid to Queen Victoria, with her Albert memorials scattered broadcast over England, and the com­ parison is to the advantage of the former. Mrs. Custer seems more solicitous of giving the world a true picture of "the General" than of re­ counting her own adventures. Mrs. Custer, by the way, spends the sum­ mer at her cabin near the Delaware Water-Gap. There she lives from May to October with an elderly lady companion, roughing it almost as sauch as w hen she lived on the plains. Her home is two miles fioni a lemon, but is near enough to a farm-house where butter, eggs, milk and chickens are to be had in abundance. Twice a day mechanics going to their work at H fac­ tory in the lieurest town stop at her door--in the morning to take her mail and in the evening to bring it. Her cabin is rudely furnished--that is. its equipments might seem rude io you or me; but Mrs. Custer, who likes luxury in her city apartment, despises it in her woodland cabin. The first summer she spent in this retreat she lived the life of a hermit, but now tli? people who go to the Water-Gap and neigh­ boring resorts have found her out and her cabin is a point of attraction for the summer visitors for miles around. She manages, however, to do a good deal of work there, and it M as there that her last book, "Following the Guidon," was written. --The Critic.

Eleventh Annual Conference of the American .Library Association. Fabyans (N. H.) dispatch: The American Library Association holds its eleventh annual conference this week at Fabvan House in the White raoun talus. The meetings of the association have steadily increased in interest and im portance since its foundation until they have not only succeeded in attracting all wideawake and progressive lib rarians of the country, but have also gathered in as participants a number of col lego professors and other educators, writers, publishers, literary students, and trustees of libraries, who have been able to find in these yearly convoca­ tions of booldovers valuable informa­ tion or inspiration.

Va.) dispatch: The details of the recent cyclone in Boone and Jackson counties begin to arrive. The storm was the worst ever known there.

The work of clearing out the debris from the ruins of McVicker's Theater, Chicago, recently destroyed by fire, is proceeding rapidly, and Manager Mc- Vicker promises that tho new theater, when completed, will be even handsomer and more substantial than his former beautiful structure. Iron trusses will be used for roof supports, and steel girders and beams will enter extensively into the construction. Over $200,00C will be expended in making the building entirely fire-proof. In a recent inter­ view the veteran manager said: "I am ten years younger than before the fire. I don't understand the meaning of old ago, and hope to cator to the amusement- seekera of Chicago for many years to rotne.* l .

The conference report on the river ind harbor appropriation bill was taken up- md agreed to without discussion and with­ out a yea and nay vote. The tariff bill was- ;akcn up. the debate on the bill nod amend­ ments to be limited to twenty minutes for tny Senator on any one subject. Changes jr amendments in the bill reported by Mr. Mdricli, from the Finance Committee* <rere made as follows: Adding to paragraph 59 the words "and white paint containing dnc, but not containing lead;" making the luty on phosphates (paragraph 071) 30 per ;ent. ad valorem, instead of 10 cents per oound; inserting in paragraph 75, relating io medicinal preparations, the words "or In the preparation of which alcohol is used;'* making paragraph 132 read " boiler plates it iron or steel and other plate iron, aot thinner," etc.; making .paragraph 218 read " white pine shingles 20 ;ents per thousand, all others 30 ?ents per thousand;" making paragraph 221 •ead "chair cane, or reeds, wrought or .-!?

The sugar section was then taken ip, the immediate subject under considera­ tion being the Finance Committee amend­ ment to paragraph 223. Imposing duties on all sugars above No. 13 Dutch standard. \greed to--yeas 39; nays. 12. The next rote was on the Senate amendment to the ame paragraph, increasing the duty on ugars above No. 10 to six-truths of 1 cent a pound instead of four-tenths (as in the House bill). The Finance Committee's amendment to incjude maple sugar among hose for which a bounty is to be paid was favored by Messrs. Edmunds and Blair. Mr. Csirlisie declared himself opposed to all ugar bounties. The amen 'Anient was agreed to--yeas, :i0; nays, 25. All the other amend­ ments relating to maple sugar were agreed and the time fixed for filing notices in connection with claims for bounty was iixed prior to July 1 instead of Jan. 1 of each rear. The House spent the di.y on tho \tchlson bill for the District of Columbia, & rote on the measure not being reached. AFTER a debate that has lasted practically without intermission since July 22 the tariff Ml' was read a third time iu the Senate on the 9th inst.. and is now ready for its passage. The Senate met at 10 o'clock and resumed consideration of the tarifT bill. A number of amendments wero proposed and rejected, after which Mr. Aldrich moved to Insert^a proviso that imported merchandise deposited in any public or private bonded warehouse prior to A us. 1, 1890. may be withdrawn for consumption at any time prior to Nov. 1, 1890, on pay ment of the duties in force prior to the passage of the act. Agreed to--yeas, 32; nays, 27. Mr. Al- dricli's amendment authorizing the Plfesi- dent to remit under certain conditions taxe« an sugars, molasses, coffee, and tea im­ ported from countries where duties are abolished on the principal agricultural products of the United States was adopted--, yeas, 37; nays, 28. All the Denuwrats and two Republicans (Edmunds and Evarts) voted against the reciprocity amendment. The next vote wa§ o.i tho amend­ ment • to paragraph 703, lowering the sugar standard to bo admitted free of duty from So. 1(5 to No. 13. It was agreed to--yeas, 39; nays, 24. The r>ill was then reported to the Senate and all the amendments that had been adopted iu ommittee of the whole were agreed to iu the Senate except those on which separate votes were demanded. The first of these was Mr. Plumb's amendment for a customs, ommisslon, on which Mr. Gorman demand- sd a separate vote. The amendment was igreed to--yeas, 31; nays, 29. The commis­ sion is to be composed of live disinterested persons, to be appointed by the President tjy and with the advice and consent >f the Senate. The commissioners are :o con tin u*;, in office six years, but my of them may be removed by the Presi­ dent for inefficiency, ' neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office. No more than three )f them are to be appointed from the same political party. By a vote of 38 to 25--;t strict party vote--the . Senate ordered tho tariff bill to a third reading and engross­ ment. Tiie bill was ordered printed with the amendments, and the Senato went into ?xecutive session aud soon after adjourned. The House wasted the day in an ineffectual itterupt to call up the Virginia election ;ase of Langston against Venable. THE Senate met qt 11 o'clock on the 10th Inst.. and after a few moment4 spent with -outine business the tariff bill was taken ip--the question being on its passage--with six hours allowed tJ close the discussion, after which the vote was to be taken. Mr- Hoar was the first to address the Senate. Referring to the reciprocity proposition, ho •said that he had voted for it with some hesi­ tation and should not have done so if he had thought that the s-cheme contained in tho amendment was all that was likely to come aut of entering on that policy. He, however, regarded the amend­ ment rather as a declaration of purpose than as a definition of legisla­ tive policy, and it was in that view that lie had given it his support. After speeches by Messrs. llfscock, Turple, Gibson, Vest, Vance, and Jones (Nev.) tho Vote was taken and the bill was passed--yeas, 40; nays, 29-- a strict party vote. Mr. Aldrich moved that the Senate insist on its amendments to tho House bill and ask for a committee of con­ ference--the committee to consist of seven on each side. The motion was agreed to, and Messrs. Aldrich, Sherman. Allhon, His- cock. McPherson, Vance, and Carlisle wero appointed eonferrees on the p;trt of the Senate. The Senate then adjourned, in the House the day was wasted in an inef­ fectual attempt to get a quorum to approve the previous day's journal. IN the Senato, on the 11th inst., on motion of Mr. Plumb, the conference report on the railroad land-forfeiture bill was taken up. The main proposit ion in the report is con» tained in the tlI St. section, as follows: "That there is hereby forfeited to the United States, and the United States hereby re­ sumes the title thereto, all lands heietofore granted to any State or to any corpo­ ration to aid In the construction of a railroad opposite to and coterminous with the portion of any such railroad not now completed and in oreratlon. for the construction or benefit of which such lands were granted; and all such lands are declared to be a part of the public do­ main; provided, that this act shall not he construed as forfeiting the right of way or station ground of any railroad company heretofore granted." Mr. Morgan opposed the report as a log-rolling scheme, got up for the benefit of all the land-grant roads. After speaking for over four hours Mr. Morgan said that he knew that the questions which he had been discussing were going to their grave In the passage of tho bill, but that he had desiiol to give them a decent burial. He had wished to erect a headstone over the graves of tho rights of the people on the line of the Northern Pacific, so that tho historic record might be rtad hereafter. Whenever the, blli was passed, the forfeiture of the Northern Pacific Railroad lands would be dead and burled, and nothing more would be heard about it. Without finishes his speech. Mr. Morgan yielded for a motion to adjourn, which was carried. The House wasted the day without secur­ ing a quorum to approve the previous day's Journal. IN "A. MINER" KEY.
