SCHOOL BOOKS IN VIRGINIA.
A Joint Resolution to : Have Them
Printed by the Common-wealth.
Richmond, Va., Dec. 13. The most
important measure in the State house of
Delegates was the joint resolution of
Mr. Folkes, providing for a committee
of Senators and Delegates, who shall
discuss with the superintendent of pub
lic printing the feasibility and advisa
bility of having the text books used in
the public schools of Virginia printed
under the direction and management of
the Commonwealth.
In the Senate, Mr. Flood introduced a
bill to amend the pension act. The
measure is designed ito include in the list
of those who shalil receive pensions vet
trans ofthe war who nre disabled and
incapacitated for work by reason of dis
ease, age or decrepitude. Under the
existing act, only those soldiers who re
ceived wounds or lost a limb are en
titled to pensions. There is a class who
served gallantly in the war who do not
come under the provisions of the law,
and whi are unable to work. It isthese
that Senator Flood desires to provide
for.
THE JUNTA'S POINT OF VIEW.
New York, Dec. 13. At the Cuban
Junta headquarters and from other
sources here, it was learned that San-
guilly s loyalty 0 the Cuban cause hud
been under suspicion for some time, and
that his reported action in offering his
services unconditionally to General
Blanco was by no means a surprise.
Delegate Thomas Pnlnin, however,
speaking for publication, said that he
could hardly believe that Snnguilly had
capitulated, but that he did not attach
much importance to the report, even if
true. A Oiibnn iiierchn: t. .prominent
nmong the revolutionists in this city,
said that Snnguilly was not likely ever
to go again within the insurgent lines,
and that whatever action he had taken
would have no effect uion Che insurgent
leaders still in the field.
General Snnguilly was in New York
until about a week ngo. It was said
at the Junta that Senor Angulo, refer
red to in the dispatch, was not a mem
ber of the Cuban revolutionary junta,
which consists of only four members.
Senor Angulo, according to the same au
thority, is a Cuban lawyer and man of
letters, who is oue of the editors of a
journal called Cuba, published in this
city. Tins paper has been published in
Spanish for the last three weeks. To
day it apiieared in English.-.It ' is di
reeted by Senor Escorar, formerly of
La Discussion in Havana, and advocates
the acceptance of the autonomy offered
It has no connection with the junta.

A Letter From Superin
tendent Weston
TO SECRET Y NICHOLS
LOSES MONEY ON EXHIBITS AT THE
FAIR.
The Biltmore Manager Desires Informa
tian as to the Sentiment of Farmers
Letters from Exhibitors.
There have been a number of criti
cisms written in a few of the State pa
pers, notably a Raleigh weekly, con
demning the exhibits of larger farms at
the State Fair and stating many things
which have been denied by the manage
ment. ;
The lack of interest In the Fair taken
as a rule by the papers which have most
hotly fought the management, has to
some degree caused the criticism and
any one examining into the facts will
see the injustice done the society.
There is no doubt that great good is
done the exhibitors, as will be shown
from the letters to Secretary Nichols,
Messrs. Raymond, C. & M. A. Griffin,
of Anson county, who exhibited so many
fine Berkshires at the recent State Fair,
acknowledging the receipts of the prem
ium forwarded them by the Secretary of
the Fair, says: "We acknowledge the re
ceipt of $15 awarded us at the late
State Fair, for which accept thanks.
"This was our first year at the State
Fair, and it has been the best advertise
ment we ever made. We cannot near
supply the demand for our Berkshires
since we came back from the Fair.
We expect to be with you again (next
year with a far better exhibit than we
had this year.
A letter received from the manage
ment of the Biltmore farm shows the at
titude of Mr. Vanderbilt, and if it is the
desire of the kickers to destroy the Fair
they lhave gone on the right line, for as
soon as exhibitors are driven away the
Fair will be a complete failure.
The following extract from a letter
which has been received by the Secre
tary is of interest to the public:
"I understand that there w-as some
remarks made in a Raleigh paper about
the Biltmore Farms' competing for pre
miums. I fail to see that it hurts the
small farms in any way so long as we
compete for stock and poultry premiums
and the farm exhibit as a whole, how
ever, I shall be glad if you will let
me know the sentiment, as far as possi
ble at Raleigh, as I rather prefer not
to exhibit than to exhibit there, since we
sell hardly any stock In this state, and
we really lose money from the exhibi
tion.
"Mr. Vanderbilt does not wish to ex
hibit from fear that he would be com
peting and hurting the small farmers.
The only way I have secured permission
to exhibit, was by telling him that our
exhibit was, to some extent, an attrac
tion at the Fair, and th Fair au
thorities desired it Some time at your
leisure I wish yon would write me fully
as to what you think about it"

THE HYPNOTISTS LAST NIGHT.
The Lees Did Remarkable Things to the
Many Volunteer Subjects, Causing
nuuny prominent men to Forget
Namete Hypnotized Man ,
; . Who Will Sleep Forty
eight Hours.
The performance given ' by the Lees
last night was indeed remarkable, and
the entire audience, which filled every
seat iu the house and all standing room,
was kept in a continuous roar from itlhe
moment Professor Lee finished his lec
ture until a nieuiber of the compamy was
put to sleep on a cot mid carried to the
window 'of Sherwood, Higgs & Co.,
there to sleep for forty-eight hours.
At the ..beginning of the evening's en
tertainment, Professor Lee gave an in
teresting talk on (hypnotism, its origin,
growth and uses, bringing vividly before
the minds of the audience the many ex
cellent results' from hypnotism used in
he operating rooms of, hospitals and
sanitariums.
Soon he announced that he would lie
assited by his niece, Miss Alberta Lee,
who is said to be the youngest- and
smallest hypnotist in the world,, and
who, to the surprise of the entire house,
was equally, if not more successful
with her subjects ' than -was Professor
Lee.
A request, for' volunteer subjects was
made, and the response was liberal,
many of Raleigh's most prominent and
successful business men going upon the
stage.
Professor T.ee explained to the volun
teers 'just what would be expected of
them, and in short order every subject
which yielded bis will and wished to be
hypnotized was sleeping softly,
Men were not only put to sleep, but
those who had never stammered took
up that habit, sane men forgot their
names, youngsters who are always blast
ing forth their knowledge were Tender
ed unable to talk, severe pain was felt
when there was no apparent cause for
it, and more remarkable things were
shown from the Metropolitan stage last
night than in a month before.
At the close of the performance, when
that jolly fishing party had returned to
their natural senses. Professor Lee, in
the presence of several Raleigh- physi
cians and the members of the press,
hypnotized-' oire of his company, placing
him on a cot. to sleep until odnes-
day night,- when he will be awakened
during the performance. The cot was
placed in the store window at Sherwood,
Inggs &. Co. s, where, (luring the long
hours of th night, curious people watch
ed the sleeper.
Later. Professor T.ee cave n pricaite
seance in the rooms of the Capital Club,
which was greatly enjoyed by its mem-ibers.-
T'ntil Friday. Professor Leo- mikes
this offer: To irive. free of charge, these
-private entertainments, anywhere in the
city, if a party of twomty or twenty-five,
will sionify their desire for the same.
Jlheir engagement here is for six i
nights and Saturday matinee, "Stand
ing room only'
was hung upon the door
Inst night.
HYPNOTIZED THIS MORNING,
Mayor Russ Engaged John Brown. Who
Insulted a Gentleman nt the Show
Last Night, to Sleep 30 Days at
the Work House.
Mayor Russ last night witnessed the
Lees hypnotic exhibition and from the
; able manner in which he handled the .-
I offenders who were up in court this
morning one would have judged he had i ' . v t .
rccewtlv absorbed 'the power for he was! ''' night, after the Lees perform
able to make his subjects appear quite aiice, a large crowd saw the sleeping,
as ridiculous ns did the Lees last even- "". l'hiced in Sherwood. Higgs & Co s ;
ing. I
J ad. Clark appeared before the mayor. !
not as a volunteer subject, and was
fined 4-75 for disorderly conduct. j
Ben. Syine, Wihite, in a private sea nee j
drove quite reckless; iu fact that candy ,
man nt the show could hardly have won ,
in last night's race with Syme, yet the
candy man was discharged last night
with a free ticket, and Bon Syme got the
privilege of pnying $3.25.
The next number on the program
was the famous "Market 'cussing act"
by Sydney Jeffries, w'ho paid over $7.25
into the city treasury.
The mayor then, assisted by the chief
of police, who is the youngest and
smallest hypnotist of the two, had Peter
Cobb tell about how he closed up the
public well iu Stronach's alley, near
Geranium Valley, and then the mayor
ordered him discharged uiion payment
of Cost.
The entertainment up to this point
had been quite as interesting as the
one last night and the sign "Standing
Room Only" hung on the door. ;
The mayor did not import one of his
! own company, but a subject who attend
ed the Lees performance was placed in
the witness stand, asked his nam,
which he said was John Brown. The
mayor questioned Brown closely and
finally named him "Denns" or "Mud,"
nnd put him to slep to the tune of 30
days under the careful vigil of Super
intendent McMackin.
A large crowd looked at the man, who
is to have a month's rest, but finally
deserted the mayor's subject for the one
in th window of Sherwood Higgs & Co.
