BURIED HYPNOTIST.
Water Reaches His Coffin Jnst Be
fore He Is Disinterred, but He
Fails to Come Out of the
Trance.
Reeding, Pa., June 29. Prof.
W. W. Kretz's experiment, in
which he allowed himself to be
bnried last night in a box under
six feet of earth while he was in a
hypnotic condition, terminated
abruptly ihis morning because of
the heavy rain. After he fell un
der the hypnotic influence exercis
ed by himself and was buried he
was to have remained under guard
until tonight, but when the rain
storm set in after midnight the
vicinity of the professor's grave at
the fair ground was deluged.
Those on watch became alarmed
lest the water should enter the
coffin and the hypuotist be,drown
ed. When the storm showed no
sign of abatiug at 8 o'clock this
morning the watchers summoned
assistance and the coffin was un
earthed. When raised to the sur
face it was fouud that the water
had already begun to soak into the
coffin. Had it been allowed to re
main in the ground a few minutes,
longer its occupant would un
doubtedly have beeu drowned.
Kretz, though somewhat wet,
was still sound asleep. He had
controlled his influence so that he
would not awake until the specified
time. Half a dozen members of
the Berks county society of occult
science exerted all their influence
to arouse him. After three hours'
work he partly revived, but he has
beeu m a sort of stupor all day.
Kretz is much disappointed at
the interruption of his sleep and
says there was no necessity for it,
even though there has been a
heavy rain all day. He aunonnces
his intention .of repeatiug the ex
periment next Sunday morning,
but the police may interfere to pre
veut it.
VATICAN AIMS.
Will Use Philippine Question to
Establish Diplomatic Rela
tions. Rome, July 12. There is appar
ently a disposition on the part of
the Vatican to take advantage of
the Philippine question to forward
its desire for the establishment of
diplomatic relations with the Uoii
ed States. The Vatican authorities
hope that the question of the pur-,
chase of the friar lands and other
matter involving the payment of
mouey will render indispensable
the continuance of relations initiat
ed by Governor Taft for at least
two years, while they are also;
hopeful of reserving the question
of the withdrawal of the friars
from the islands so as to prolong
these relations even longer.

NEW BATTLESHIP MAINE.
Official Test Is To Be Made On
Thursday. Excepted to Be
Fastest Boat in Our Navy.
New York, July ,12. The hat
tleship Maine, which has been un
der construction in Cramps' ship
yards since the spring of 1S99, will
leave for her builders1 test off the
Delaware Capes Tuesday after
noon, says a Philadelphia dis
patch to the Herald. The trial will
take place on Thursday, and it is
expected the Maine will be again
mored at the ship yard on Friday.
Easily the most powerful battle
ship tlwTt the Cramps yard has
turned out for the United States
navy, the Maine also is planned to
be the fastes-t. She must attain
eighteen knots speed, the same re
quirements as for the Russian bat
tleship Retvk'.tn, recently complet
ed at the -nl. In most respects
the Maine and the Retvizau are
alike.
The keel of the ue'w Maine was
laid on February 15, 1899, the an
niversary of the destruction of the
old Manikin Havana harbor., There
was a delay in her construction,
resulting from the controversy over
the question of armor plate. She
was launched on July 27, 1901,
Miss Mary Preble of Portland, Me.,
a descendant of Commodore Pre
ble, berV" her sponsor.
The Mlkne is 388 fee: long ou
the load wer line. Her beam ex
treme is 72 feet 2 K' inches ; her
draught 23 feet 10' inches, and
her displacement 12,500 tons.
B'OUND REMAINS
OF ST. JUSTIN.
Skeleton of One of the Early
Martyrs Discovered in Italy.
Some children while playing iu
a storeroom attached to the parish
church of Monticello, uear Vicen
za, in Italy, discovered a large old
box, and, braking it open, they
fouud iu Ja skeleton and several
sacerdtfral ornaments.
Tjrparish priest was iuforraed
& the discovery, and he soon ob
tained convincing proofs that the
skeleton was that of St. Justin,
who lived about 250 years after
Christ, aud who was killed during
the persesution of the Christians,
which were authorized by the
Roman emperors of that era.
The body of St. Justin was re
moved from the catacombs iu 160G
by order of Pope Paul V., and
three years later Antonio Thieuo
obtained permission to remove it
to Monticello. For more than a
century no one has known where
the body was and its discovery is
therefore very welcome,
QUEEN WILHEL-
MINA'S CROWN.
Queen Wilhelmins's crown is
very gorgeous. It is of dull gold,
ionIy the edSes beiD Polished. It

and emeralds. The imperial arches
terminate iu sixteen points, eight
of which are surmounted by large
single peails and the other eight,
bentoward the center and there
crowned with the globe and cross,
are set with nine pearls each, which
,are graduated in size, the' smallest
being plaeedjat the .top.

THE RAZOR-BACK HOG.
He-Fills a Long-Felt Want in the
-State of--Wisconsin.
A correspondent from Madison,
Wis., say:
Until Prof. Carlyle, of the Wis
consin experiment station, con
ceived the idea of crossing the raz
or back hur on improved stock, he
waspopulatly supposed to be of
value only for crossing with fast
freight trains with the object of
making the railroad company take
the product at remunerative rates.
Carlyle, however.conceived the no
tion that his fecnudity and good
digestion might be put to good use.
The razor back is notoriously pro
lific, and as veracions witnesses
have seen him perform feats of
gastron.mjy calculated to force
goats aud ostriches to suicide from
pure chagriu, Carlyle, conclading
the improved stock at Madison waa
short of nhese requisite qualities
sent to Arkansas and secured sev
eral of the kind that, when reduced
to pork, eutail the expense of store
lard with which to fry.it. Results
have exceeded his fondest expect
ations. The Simon pure "razon
backs" at the station are neither
handsome nor pacific in appearance.
The visitor instinctively concludes
uot to attempt familiarity until
Carlyle gives assurance that it is a
a case of apperances being deceptive
Their progeny is however more
propossessiug and the lover of
porcine character will find much to
attract him in the litters of grades
that are plentiful iu the- hog house.
So far as fecundity is concerned
they are superb, said theenthusias
tic Carlyle. We had a number of
due Berking but disappointment,
but with the arrival of the razor
backs from the South this disap
peared. The cross resulted in
some splendid litters, and some of
the best female stock we have on
the farm is half razor back. They
improve rapidly under domestica
tion and make splendid mothers."
Pure bred porcine stock is often
lamentably deficient both in poten
cy and digestion. Razor back
prepotency is proverbial and its
digestion phenomenal. The crosses
are healthy in every respect.
WAS PROUD' OF HIS CHOICE.
A southerner who attended the
Tildenclnb dinner in New York the
other evening listened to. Cleveland
and the other speakers .with much
interest and then recalleda -story
of the big man who originally
hailed ffom Buffalo. During his
first term as president Mr. Cleve
land was traveling in the south
on one occasion and stopped at
Weldon. N. C, where a crowd
had assembled. One old back
woodsman pressed forward and
grasped the president's hand say
ing: "Fve voted for many a
president, bat I never seed one
before." Then, after a pause, he
added: "Andyou're such a whop
per, too."
