declaration that I am not a candidate for

very easily be construed into
meaning that I would not
allow my name to be used in
the convention The construction would
tie wrong however for that Is not what
I mean and I hve made no positive
statement to anyone at any time to the
effect that I would not accept the nomina-

PEOPLE WHO PBAY NAKED
Thej Frlck Themielre with Flni and 0 m

Your readers may rem mber fay3 a
writer iathe London Chronicle that some-
time ago I drew attention to a remsrkible
phase cf religious fanaticism in the little
T Uagc cf Tolex In the province of Mal
aga which led to a state of prosecution
The devotees of the rellgioD I may call
to mind took into their heads cr rather
were ledto belltva by their leader a wo-
man declaring herself to be a prophe
ess that the uigbest form of religion w s
to conduct the mundane eflairs of this life
in the simp e garb of Adam and Eve be-
fore the fall
This is bad enough and led as I have
said to the iatervention cf the crown
but it was not their only divergence f torn
he ways of rdinwy mortals another
portion of their doctrine being 0 Iiflxt
upon themselves wounds in tie hands
bretbt and ieot such as areshorn in rep
rtsenatiottt of tho ciucnxiou They
also burnt all or nearly all their wordly
possessions ia tho belief that a higher
power would rrovido them with food
Tne r behavior indeed was such that as
sttted the government Kit calif d upon
to Interfere and a day or two ago a num-
ber of leaders of this strange sect were
put upon their trial
Already the most extraordinary revela
tions have been made apart from what
may bo called the spiritual manifestations
which these misguided people declare
have been made to them The most in-
teresting feature in connection with the
trial has been the experiments In hypno-
tism which have been made on the de-
fendants by medical specialists this be-
ing the first time hypnotism has been
resorted to in Spain In the interests of
justice
In nearly every case tha defendants
proved to be good subjects Many of
the experiments tried by the doctors
were of the most extraordinary character
One of the accused for instance when
in the state of hypnotism on being or-
dered to perspire broke out almost in-
stantly in a profuse state of perspiration
while another who was ordered to as-
cend a high mountain being the while in
an ordinary room behaved as if he were
actually climbing his breathing becoming
difficult and his heart beating violently
When this man was told that he had
reached the summit and mlzht rest
awhile the symptoms of exhaustion grad
ually disappeared Others were pricked
with pins and gave no evidence of feel-
ing what was being done to him The
trial will last several days longer end
will probably result in merely nominal
punishment being imposed upon the ac-
cused who for the mo6t part seemed
to be merely harmless weakminded peo

the FprlDfideld meeting
SPMNGrixLp Ohio June 8 The
Sherman men are much put out about
the enthusiasm at the Blaine meeting last
night There seems to exist grave doubts
of the effect in other places Said a Re-
publican the other day when talking
about the possible nominees of the Chi-
cago convention If Blaine will not take
the nominationI hope John Shorman will
get it for then he would be beaten so
badly that the Rspubllcan party would be
rfd cf him
Thla Is a strong statement There is
no doubting the fact that not one in ten
of John Shermans ardent admirers be-
lieve he will be the Calcago nominee
Mayor Kelly said today he was in hearty
sympathy with the meetirg cf last night
and regretted that an important commit-
tee meeting prevented his presilng He
says ho h pe mee lags cf a tlrnirar na-
ture will be held everywhere and so
much stress placed upon the desire of the
mass of the Republican party to have Mr
Blaine nominated that other candidates
now seeking the nomination will sea that
with Blaine there is certain victory
and they will be wise enough to with-
draw

Panhandlh City Tex June 12 To-
day Carson county takes her place a3 an
orgsalzed county among her sister coun-
ties in the great state of Texas and asks
for the same judicial consideration and
privileges as are accorded to the organ
zed coaatie3 Toe election of a full
complement of officers was secured to-
day Tee field was fu 1 of aspirants lor
the various elective offices and the races
were spirited in the extreme Not a word
of political coloring appeared to mar tae
hoczon and while tie friends of each
candidate woiked hard for the success of
his ticket net a ripple ofpersonal enmity
Recurred during the day Tha hearts of
our people pulsate high and in unison for
the public welfare cf our county
and as we roll back time to
twelve months ago acd look at Carson
county unoccupied only by vast herds of
range cattle grazing over it rolling green
prairies without a house or railroad within
its boundaries and see It today an organ-
ized county with two imrostant railroad
lines running to the county Eeat a third
guaranteed within the year and still
others projected this way Wnen we see
farms being opened and good substantial
farmhouses being built all over the
cannty and watch the progress of car
town wnlch spranginto existence less than
six months ago busy with its martlet
trade we have every reason to believe
that ss an agricultural country onr county
has many advantages to offer farmers In
seaich of cheap homes and that tha time
to come is before the school lands are all
taken up

the tariff The committee was tula that
tho cotton bagging manufactures had
been pstabllshed with Imported machin-
ery upon which a duty ot 40 per cent had
been paid and that the capacity of
the establishments was now fully
100 percent In adv nee of the demands

rate3 could be endured only in case jute

in India in bagging is so fierce however
that if it were made free as proposed by
the bill tae factories would 6affer speedy
rulD It was lurther represented that
there is no demand from the planters for
free bagging in as much as the bagging
as well as the Iron Hooping ou the cotton
bales is all weighed and paid for as cot-
ton and the plants in this way receives
more for the bagging than he pays for It
