"Now, ladies," said the chairman ol
the convention, rapping with her gavel,

whispering during the progress of the
meeting."
Still the low, sibilant sound from
group of pretty beads that had
together in one corner of the hall
tinued.
The chairman looked annoyed
rapped with her gavel more severely.
The group of pretty heads broke up,
aud the whispering ceased in that quarter,
but over on the opposite side of the ball
a delegate was seen to lean toward her
neighbor, and the disagreeable hissing was
resumed.
"Is it possible," said the chairman,
"that 1 must repeat my request ? Y'ou
will refrain from whispering, please."
The offending head nodded approv
iugly but the whispering did not stop.
"If necessary," said the chairman, with
a touch of angr, "I shall become per

from lioston kindly postpone tier private
conversation with her neighbor till th

The delegate from lioston straight
cued up in her seat and flushed hotly.

"Certainly," said the chairman; "there
was no one else whispering at the mo

"But," said the delegate from Boston
I was only saying to my neighbor what
a splendid chairman you made to stop the
whispering of those ladies from Ohio
over there. I don't see how you can ob

"We will hao no whispering on any
subject," said tho chairman sternly.
And with that at least a d zen head;
in different parts of the ball bobbed over
toward their neighbors' disks, and the
situation grew into a prolonged hiss, from
which could plainly be distinguished
such expiessions as "served her rigid!'
"The idea!" "What a splendid chairman!"

a quarter of a mile has been traversed in

sit, without changing position, each in
coniiuuous song throughout the night. It
is the male bird which thus sings to the
female as she sits on the nest.

"Hypnotism," remarked the professor
to a Star reporter, "is a most peculiar
power. A doz sn years ago I was one of
twelve jurymen in a murder trial. It
was an intelligent jury, too, but our in
telligence was of no great value to us.
The case was one of murder, iu which
the uiurderel gained a fortune by getting
an heir oul of the way and taking his
place. Tlio trial did not take place
until two years after the death of the
victim, and the evidence Was circum
stantial, but it was a remarkably clear
case of circumstauet's. Well, there was
not anything peculiar or interesting that
wouldn't have happened in any murder
trial, but the prisoner was extraordinary
at least, as to his eyes, which were of the
piercing; kiud one reads of in stories to
chill the blood.
"He did not use them, however, to
any extent until all the evidence was in
and the attorneys began their talk. Then
he turned them upon the jury and f'ast
eaed them there, as if pleading with us
to save him. All the arguments were
in by b o'clock the first day, and the
judge begau to charge the jury. All the
soul of the prisoner seemed then to be in
his eyes, and I could not get my mind
on anything but the prisoner. What
the judge was saying seemed to be a far
off whisper, vague and indistinct. Wheth
er the other juryiueu were affected as I
was I did not kuow, because I hardly
realized that thero was any one on the
jury except myself and that the prisoner
was looking at me for help
"I had an indistinct idea that he was
unworthy to be saved, but iu spite ol
myself I could nut bring myself to cull
demn hiiu. Then the jury was sent out,
tho eyes of the prisoner following until
the door was between us. I was the
foreman, and as soon as we hail entered
the room and sat down, I said: "Gen
tlemen, the prisoner is not guilty.' My
statement was assented to without a dis-
senium voice, and in live minutes time
we were in the bux again, and ten min
utes later the prisoner was profusely
tliauking us for a verdict in his favor.
"Then he left the courtroom quickly
and the jury was discharged. W

peculiar and uncomfortable feeling I ever
experienced, and I went to bed that night
