HYPNOTISM. THE ALLEGED REVELATIONS OF MR. DALE. The "Star" on Thursday devoted further space to what may be described as a revela- tion of the hypnotic mystery, and in the course of its description says :-At the per- formance on Wednesday iiiglit the South London folk were all engaged reading the "Star" before the hypnotic show came on. The "Star" contents bills had been posted at the entrances to the building, and they elevated (h" exposure into something like a seiisa-i,, i. It is strange, now that the exposure has been made, how many people there were who knew the whole business was a fraud; in the meantime, some of the subjects who see their game checked vent their dissatisfaction by hit sin g at Mr. Dale and his colleagues. CHALLENGE TO HYPNOTISTS. That both Professor Dale and Mr. Marshall have confidence in their view that the shows now going on are shams will be seen from a challenge they ask the "Star" to insert, as follows: — "Professor Da'le ditJlengies Professor Charles Morritt, Protestor White, Professor Fricker, and Professor Albini to put any of their own subjects (lady or gentleman) into a six days' a.nd nights' trance, the subject to be watched by doctors, a reporter of the 'Star,' Professor Dale, and Mr. Marshall; £ 50 to be forfeited by Professor Dale if the subject satisfies the doctors that he or 8lH remains without- intermission in an hypnotic state, in spite of any reasonable test. The only specific condition imposed is that the face of the subject shall at no time be covered." The challenge cannot be said to have been overweighted with conditions, and there should be a speedy acceptance from one of the gentlemen named. It may be mentioned that the provision for the subject's face to be uncovered is insisted on because the most severe part of his task, supposing him to be an impostor, is to endure the very severe strain of keeping his eyes shut during the whole period. As to other tests, Mr. Mar- I shall laughs at suggestions of galvanic batteries and feathers thrust up the nostrils, and describes glorious feeds of fried fish and potatoes indulged in by the subject when the watchers were not alert. AN OFFER TO PROFESSOR DALE. A gentleman who sends his card to the "Sta,r; but desires that for the present his name should not be published, writes: — "Allow a professor of the hypnotic art a chance of challenging Professor A. Dale to a public test. I propose to hypnotise a sub- ject six hours before the test takes place and to defy Professor A. Dale or any other person to prevent that subject instantly falling asleep directly the said subject reaches the stage, from which sleep neither Professor A. Dale nor any other person except myself shall wake him." The writer wishes his name and address not to be published at present, as he does not intend his subject to know for what pur- pose he is being hypnotised. Both name and address way be published after the test. Professor Dale, he suggests, should appoint, through the "Star," the time of the trial, which it is desired should be as public as possible. EXPERIENCES OF A CARDIFF SUB- JECT. Below will be found a letter from Mr. Jack Jones, of 37, Llandaff-road, Cardiff, who was one of Professor Morritt's subjects at the recent exhibition of hypnotism at Cardiff, in which he maintains his bona fides and chal- lenges Professor Dale. In a conversation with a member of the "Western Mail" staff on Thursday night Mr. Jones was positive that he was altogether unconscious during the whole period of six days he wao, alleged to be under hypnotic influence at Cardiff re- cently. "I suffered no ill effects," said Mr. Jones, "nor did I feel hungry when I awoke. I had very little food before sub- mitting myself to Professor Morritt, and no food after I awoke on Saturday night until Sunday at noon. I was unconscious the whole time. and was surprised on awaking to find that I had been unconscious for so long a period." Questioned in various ways, Mr. Jones still maintained positively that lie was unconscious during t.he whole period of alleged hvpnotio influence. LETTER FROM MR. JACK JONES. To the Editor of the evening Express.' Sir,—Respecting the paragraph which ap- peared in your issue pf this day's date. I shall he most happy to allow myself to be placed under hyptnotism by Professor Morritt and undergo a week's trance similar to the one I re- oently underwent at the Panopticon at Cardiff. I will also allow all medical men to come for- ward. and will send special invitations to all. soepl-ics, including Professor Dale, now per- forming at the South London Musiohall. Ten- don. I will undertake to do this to prove the genuineness of my week's sleep recently at the Panopticon. Cardiff. I will pay all 'lie ex- penses of Professor Dale, if he cares to uwept my offer, and will submit myself solely Ito Professor Morritt's influence, and will plow any tests to be praoti<?ed upon me whilo in the sle<p. Thanking you in anticipation.-—T am, &c. .TONES, 37, Llandaff-road, Canton, Cardiff.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. A SINGULAR AFFAIR AT WHIT CHURCH. Shortly after six p.m. on Thursday Frede- rick Millward. a contracting builder. residing at Brooks Villas, Whitchurch, was admitted into the Cardiff Infirmary in a weak state and ) suffering from a self-inflicted wound in the throat. He was attended to by Drs. Sheen and Cresswell, and, although in a critical condition, his injuries are not expected to have a fatal termination. He was brought to the institution by two county policemen, named Thompson and Green, who stated vhat some workmen's tools had been stolen from a build- ing in course of erection at Whitchurch, and that the owner had alleged he had seen some of his property in Millward's possession. On Thursday afternoon the latter was seen by the wife of the other builder to leave the partly- finished house with a bag in his hand, and, while she was informing the police f the cir- cumstance, he ran home, locked the front door, and cut his throat with a sharp instrument. Police-constable Williams and Police-sergeant Morris shortly afterwards arrived on the scene, when they were informed by Mrs. Milhvard that her husband had attempted to r-ommit puicide. They found him bleeding profuselv from a serious cut in the tliroat, and, having rendered first aid, he was conveyed in a ponv trap to the Cardiff Infirmary by Police-con- stables Thompson and Green. Late on Thurs- day night one of our reporters saw Dr. Sheen who stated that Millward, though weak from loss of blood, was progressing favourably, and that in all probability he would be convales- cent in a few days. Another correspondent describes the scene in this manner:—Police-constable E. Williams, who has lately come to reside in the village, was armed with, the necessary authority "to make an arrest, and, with that object in view, lie stood within close proximity to Millward's house from about halt-past two till the time the de(d was committed. 'I'he moment Mill- ward mad ethe first anempt to take his life Mrs. Millward ran out and shouted to the constable to come in. ixlrs. Milliard con- cluded that something desperate was about to happen, for before her husband cut h;3 if icat he wished her and his little offsptmgs all aiV.* tionate good-bye. Yvhen rhe c-Tti'"r entered he saw Milhvard standing in the lJa:,k jrtol.en with a- terrible gash in his throat, and, with the object of finishing himself quietly, he was endeavouring to open tre gash wiih irs fingers for the purpose ot "inking the n 'or. But the officer closed .vth h in succcech (1 in taking the razor from his hand, and then threw him on 'his back and passed :lie aperies in order to stop the flow of blood until the arrival of the doctor. The constable acted with commendable foresight, the knowledge he had acquired at ambulance classes proving of had acquired at ambulance classes proving of great service. While on the ground Mill- ward, who was a strong, able-bodied man. was exceedingly refractory, and the constable had his hamds full. The doctor, on his arrival, found that the gasli was some inches long, and that the wind-pipe had also been cut. The unfortunate man is about 36 years of age, and has a wife and four children. The value of the missing voods amounts to 3, large sum, and it ;8 stated that some of them have already been discovered and identified.

DEXMORE TYPEWRITER. INTENDED FORMATION OF A TYPISTS' SCHOOL AT CARDIFF. The people of Cardiff and South Vt ales will shortly have a chance of acquainting them, selves with the capacity of the "Densmore" typewriting machine, which, though compara- tively a new comer, 'has "caught-ou" to the public fancy. Up to the present the "Den.?- more" has not been put as prominently before the people of the Principality an its merits deserve, but that shortcoming i3 being rapidly rectified. Therefore, a few details obtained from Mr. A. H. Daniels, the representative of the firm introducing the machine, will be interesting. "The 'Densmore,' explained Mr. Daniels in an interview with a representative of the "Westerfi Mail'' the other day, "has been en the market for three or four .vears, and the sales have Ixen increasing at the rate of 100 per cent, per annum." "That's very indefinite," remarked our repre- sentative. Maybe you sold one the first year, two the second, and so on Y' e have sold some thousands," replied Mr. Daniels. The machine has had a splendid re- ception in the United Sta'tes of America; and in this country, although somewhat slow in shedding old-fashioned ideas, it is finding much favour. The Posta>I Cable Company is using upwards oi 1,500 'Ca,ngraphs' (another of our machines), which has been adopted by "'he London School Board. And within the last few weeks the 'Densll1ore'-ha.s been adopted by the London and North Western Railway Com- pany, which previously used one of the less popular machines. "What are the special features of the 'Dens- more'; "Well, I should name its lightness of touch, the compactness of the machine. its revolving and continuous platen. The touch is sym- pathetic and responsive, the arrangement for moving the carriage to and fro by the hand much mure convenient than with other machines, and the mechanical lever for forming the spaces is so fixed that the weight of the hand does the necessary movement without an effort on the part of the typist, which id found to be decidedly advantagtvus. These are the points upon which I can safely speak. and, of course, the printed description gives the other advan- tageous qualifications of the machine, including which are the paper feed and the diagonal movement of the ribbon, and the manifolding capacity. The method used for putting the paper on the roller is the very best I have seen, and the idea of the diagonal movement of the ribbon ensures the whole of it being used, which would have the effect of making it last much longer. The writing is brought into sight by simp]y turning the platen. This may be done instantly by either hand with the greatest ease, and is an immense gain over the old style of lifting the whole carriage. The accurate and strong stroke of the type-bar, with its force increased by the supplementary lever, renders this machine unsurpassed as a mani- folder. Nor is its alignment seriously disturbed in manifolding, all the hangers being on the same level and affected aliKe when the size of the cylinder is increased by a number of sheets of paptr. Two complete platens can be obtained with each typewriter when desired, one having a specially hard cylinder for manifolding. These can be instantly changed without the use of a tool. An operator is thus enabled to stop at can be instantly changed without the use of a tool. An operator is thus enabled to stop at any point and pass quickly from one kind of work to another without disturbing the paper— and it is a serious thing ordinarily to remove and re-plaoe unfinished manifold work. The 'Densmore' has not made as much progress in this country as it deserves, because it has not up to the present been in the hands of agents directly representing the manu- facturers. That is, however, being obviated, and arraai gements have been made for energeti- cally pushing the machine. I may add that the proprietors of the 'Western Mail.' who have been using other typewriting machines for some years, have been so impressed with the advan- tages of the 'Densmore' that they have ordered a number for the use of their reporting staff." The conversation then drifted on to the general advantages of typewriting Combined with shorthand, and Mr. Daniels mentioned that lie had in hand a project for establishing at Cardiff a "Densmore" School of Typewriting. A sine qua non of membership in it would be a knowledge of shorthand. '"Twenty-five thousand persons," added Mr. Daniels, are taming their living in London by typewriting and shorthand, and the wages earned van- from 25s. to 70s. a week for men and 20s. to 4-5s. a week for women." Dealing with the obiection that the type- writing machines supplanted labour, Mr. Daniels remarked that it did not supply brains, but only made work easier. "Work." he said, "can be done much more easily and quickly with a machine, and ton- sequently more work can be turned out. Be- sides which, thousands of people are employed in the manufacture of typewriting machines." -?-

Women in Public Affairs SEATS IN PARLIAMENT AND ON THE BENCH. [BY LADT COOK.] Only a few years ago it would have been, thought absurd to expect that a woman could fill any important public omoc with efficiency. The proposal, for example, that one should become a Poor-law gixaxdiau, was met with general ridicule. But it is confessed now on all sides that the brave ladies who have under- taken this onerous and unpleasant office are to be reckoned among the most valuable members of the boards on which they sit. It required no small amount ot moral courage for them to have taken their seats among a number of men, many of who were hostile to their admission. However, their intelligen* watchfulness, their clear perception of require- ments, and what is due to the poor and to the ratepayers, their superior knowledge, of domestic affairs and of the needs of the sick, the women, and children, and their unswerv- '1 ing honesty of purpose. have extorted the admiration and respect of those who were for- merly opposed to them. The ancient prejudice against their participation in public offices still lingers in some of the rural districts, where the inhabitants understand turnip grow- ing far better than social economics; but the educated members a,>:d those who have expe- r.encvd the value of women's counsel in the administration of parochial matters, are anxious that more women should join their Ixtards. We do not desire to see a preponderance of either sex on the lists of 4he Poor-law guar- dians, but there can be no doubt that if they were balanced, it would be to the advantage of l ich and poor alike. The fact that women are able to prove their conspicuous equality in administrative capacity on Poor-law boards may be traced to the Municipal Franchise Bill of 1869, which omitted thJ word "male" before the word "person" in Section 1. and thus restored the municipal franchise to women ratepayers, of which they had been dispossessed by the Municipal Corpora- tion Act of 1835, in the same manner that they had been excluded from the Parliamentary fran- chise by the Reform Act of 1832. This restora- tion of the power which they had enjoyed until 1335. combined with their general advance in education, has invested them with a oonsidem- tion which was previously refused. They are now a municipal force, and must be conciliat-ed. i Thev ca.ii influence elections, and must be courted. And so the right to sit on boards of Poor-law guardians was reluctantly > ion ceded. But the foreliodings of the croakers have not been realised. The sky remains where it was before. No scandals have occurred. There has been no suggestion of flirtations across the table. The men have not fought for the smiles of the lady guardians. On the contrary, those have often received scant courtesy. Always a J small minority, they have had to work strenuously to make their views known. The admiration accorded them has been only a 190 1 tribute to their abilities, for it must be. said of Englishmen that, although they are often super- stitiously wedded to precedents and resent the equality claimed by women, they are, or wish to be, lovers of fair play. They may sometimes J believe in unjust theories, but they also believe 1 in voiat they see. If it should be said that we | exaggerate their stolidity, then we point to the "grill" in the gallery of the House of Commons, where lady listeners to debates are oloselv immured for fear their bright eyes and pretty faces should cause some luckless sena- tors to wander in their speech. The same men. can address a whole gathering of ladies a.t a. Primrose Habitation, or lecture to a mixed audience without a tremor. But in the Hotme their jaunty self-assurance would at once desert ihem if they were to see a lady pro- sent. To some, this is a pretty fiction tha* deserves to live; to others, it is an absurdity that should be demolished at once. Members may regard it as astute; we consider it a policy of low cunning to keep women out of the House. Nevertheless, they are bound to get in, and the sooner the better. They can sit on school boards and boards of guardians, and were elected on -t he London County Council. But the judges, in their interpreta- tion of the law as it stands, ousted them from the laisti body. It is necessary, therefore, thai the law should be altered so that the administra- tive capacities of gifted women may not be lost to county and municipal councils. Th«y must have a fair share, too, of magisterial influence as justices of the pea-oe. We bava brokn throught the tradition that only 6 "gentleman" can be a J.P. Publicans, trades- men, and working mechanics are now fre- quently appointed on the ground of represent* ing all classes. But more than half the popula. tion is entirely unrepresented. The knowledge and judgment of capable women are igneeed. Yet their presence on the benoh if equitably requisite whenever a woman is to be tried. When our whole Empire, consisting of oat- itfth of the world, is most ably ruled by (W oultured lady, it is nonsense to aaeert tlwA other women could not act as local maffistratvu The oase of juries is parallel. Where won an are tried, women should be jurors, or hnOM sexes should be tried by an equal number of jurors of each sex. One of our greatest thinkers, J. StoMti Mill, savs in his "Subjection of Women":—« "Is there so great a superfluity of men fit for high duties that society can afford to rejot the service of any competent person ? Are w* so certain of always finding a man made taovF hands for any duty or function of social importance which falls vacant, that we lea* nothing by putting a ban on one half of man- kind and refusing beforehand to make tbair1 faculties available, however distinguished tttty may be? And even if we could do witlwo* them, would it be consistent with justie* to refuse to them their fair share of honeur and distinction or to deny them the equal rigfct of all human beings to choose their occupa- tion (short of injury to others) according to their own preferences, at their own riakf Nor is the injustice confined to them; it ia shared by those who are in a position to beM- fit by their services. To ordain that any kind of persons shall not be physicians, or shall not be advocates, or shall not be members of Parliament, is to injure, not only them, but all who employ physicians or advocates, or elect members of Parliament." Did space permit, we could refer to some of the many women of various times who Wf been famous for their public abilities, politi- cally and judicially. Whenever free women have been entrusted with power they have vised it for the benefit of their country. We uuld point out that women originally sat in. our Engish Parliaments. And they will fit again, and mfuse more honesty and in- telligence into politics when they possesa the franchise. This privilege is one of the great levers which all patriotic women should en- deavour to grasp in order to raise their. country's sta-tus and to reduce the inequalities of society. It is sometimes difficult to write calmly in face of the wrongs and abuses whick have oppressed 'l,ud still oppress our sex. But we have attempted tc place the subject before our readers dispassionately, and we earnestly: commend it tc. their conscientious reflection, and enlightened judgment.
