Chicago, July 24 A weird and startling scene was enacted in Judge Gary's court this morning which brings strong confirmation in its similarity to show that the "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'' much more than the fanciful creation of a novelist delighting in the odd and bizarre. That a man can be subject to involuntary physi cal and psychical changes, in either state being fully alive to his actions, was demonstrated, if the strange story of Harry Munzer is to be ac cepted, without question. The story was fascinating in its eerie interest and held the whole court through out its recitation. Munzer is about 27 years old and has been of exceptional habits. His face is not unhandsome and his fea tures bear a decidedly innocent but intelligent expression. The change he underwent during the hearing was remarkable. His story itself was not so very different from what one might expect to hear from a man w ho felt himself becoming in sane. What terrified the jurors was1 the complete change in his features as he proceeded. From an innocent, harmless expression at the begining they changed to one of extreme cun ning ahd malignity. As he pro ceeded deep lines appeared in his cheeks beside the nose. The eye brows contracted darkly and the corners of the mouth drew down. His forehead wrinkled up as an old man's and his voice actually chang ed so that" a listener might have sup posed that a man of 45 was talking. The words came from deep down in his chest, and, in fact, the entire as- ner.t of the man was changed. He x - bent forward in his chair, his shoul ders stooped, and his eyes became watery. The court gazed at the phenomenon before him in aston ishment. When the narrator "reach ed that portion of his recital where he spoke of killing, the jury gazed upon the face of a man about to commit murder. ' - . " v For four years he had acted as entry clerk for Edson Keith, ancLhis manipulation of figures was consid ered something wonderful. He had been subject to gloomy spells at periods about two years apart, dur ing which he" would become a re cluse for weeks at 'a-time. He spoke of the spells, saying : "I feel some thing approaching heavily, but I can take care of myself here. "Rpnds of nersniration stood orihis i 1- have I lost my senses.

Mr A. J.

But the Concord Times steps to the front with a case of snake bite that was cured by an applica tion of onions. Should this remedy ever become popular, the. average American will have to find another excuse than the fear of snake bites for taking his pocket flask along when he goes on a journey. The Times says : Sometime in June Mr. W.'B. Dewees, of No. 3 township, had his mule bitten by a copperhead snake. Mr.'D. killed the snake, drove home and at once applied as a remedy a Doultice of onions. He tells us that a continuous applica tion of raw onion poultices for 24 Lowell Mass., who suffered terribly-from scrofulous sores ; that oj nanes a. .x.oo crt rf 'Rript. Wilson. N.

Charlotte News 1 ' '5 ) One of the leading Republican papers thinks it altogether nice to insert such paragraphs as the fol lowing : "The clay-eaters are small com munities of poor whites scattered through the South."" The Yankee nation has a way of talking about the "poor white trash" at the South, and the uclay-eaters are poor whites at the South," which shows how the "poor whites," of the South are thoroughly despised at the North. The Northern folks court the rich men of the South for various reasons, but they have only words of contempt for'those among us, who are not heirs to fortune.
