* P1.KBL?i!Ei) RV IY TIIURSDAY AT AEW BER. S. i C.T THL CONT (F 31AKLNG OUR LAWS. Somea Interctin:r Comnparisoi of the Work of D fferent siuiu. [News and Courier.] At the recent sc-ion of the Legi la ture :;5 Acts and Joint Resolutions were passed1. -Of th i! number only 44 were of a public nature, while I91 were of purely local and spec-ial signiticance. This is not a good record. A very great mass of the bills introduced during the session which were not paised were of a purely private and spec-ial character, and the Legislature, which was elected for the purpose of making laws for the people, did not succ ed in attaiinig the objects for which it w is chosen. We have entirely t."o miuc"h 1legislation. Of the making- of iaw. t ere is practically no end, and "lcalc 'nd special legisla tion," as Governor T'illman -aid in his inaugural address, "are the curses of our time. In his address before ihe American Bar Association in :i; the Hon. Wil 1Ian Allen Butler directed attention to the unnecessary or impracticable legis lation which distinguishes the sessions of all the State Legislatures and the equally great disproportion between the la%.s-:iclh promote private and local interess and those which are of public concern. Dr Butler estimates that the price paid for current legislation in the States and in Congress can not be less than ten millions of dollars annually. It is estimated that eacl Act and Joint Resolution passed by the General Asse'ibiy in this State-the printing of the bill, the time consumed in the committee rooms and upon the floor of the House or Senate, and in the en ., gross ing rooms is in round numbers about $150. Accepting this estimate as very nearly correct, the cost of public legislation during the recent session of the General Assernly was 6,f;00, and the cost of local ,and special legislation was $2-'0. It does not require any ar;tinent to show that too much money is expended by the State upon legislative liatters, in which the State as a whole is not greatly interested. The recent legisiature was in session for thirty days and during this time was actuaily employed in the work of legislation -fr only twenty-five days. The average number of bills passed a day was nine and a fraction. This was a very good record, so far as the number of bills passed a day was con cerned, and compares very favorably with the record miade by Leg.slatures before the war, but the obcjection is not to the dispatch of business so much as to.the number of measures acted upon by the Legislature which should never have been introduced in that body. In I859 the General Assembly of this State passed upon the ti wasures brought before it at the rate of eight a day. In 1 SS.the Legislature pertorrmed the feat of disposing of _u measures a day. In 1S-59 the General Assembly threw out three-fourths of the neasures proposed. In 18S1 it enacted haif of those which were introduced. In IS5: the General Assembly passed 40 publie Acts and 19 private Acts. Inm ls8 the number of public Acts was 171 and the number of private Acts was 113. In 1890) the nmum ber of public Acts passed by the Gen eral Assemibly wvas 44 and the number of local and Epecial A cts was 191. Several attempts have been made to prescribe and regulate the introduction into the General Assembly of measures relating purely to private interests, and there has been a reduction in the mass of local and private legislat ion, but the late General Assemi ly broke the record, so to speak, of moi're recent years. At this session fully three fouiths of the time of the Legisiature was taken up in the discussion of matters of small mo ment to the public, and the weightier matters of legislation were rushed through at railroad speed, without full discussion and because they had been determined upon as "imperative to the success of the Administration in power." We attribute a great deal of the un necessary time consumried by thbe Legis lature to the inexperience of the mem bers of the House and not to any dis position on their part to make laws without excuse. We presume that during the recess all of these matters will be fulily considc red by the mem bers of the General Assembly, and when the next session is held there will be, as Governor Tillnman suggested in his inaugural address: "An absolute refusal to waste time on silly, wild cat schemes and local and special legisla tion which are the curses of our time." At any rate, we shall hope for so de sirable a consummation. The New E!ectoral College. [New York Fierald.] A correspondent asks the Herald to state what chatnge the niew Apportion ment bill, if it becomes a law, will make in the electoral .college at the next election.

HYPNOTIZING WITNESSES. Sole Opinions of New York Lawyers on the Practicability of the Schene. LNew York Star.1 The proposition of Dr. Liegeois during I the recent trial of the Parisian strang lers, Eyraud and MIle. Bompard, that the latter be made to testify to her complicity in the murder of Goufle while under mesmeric influence, has caused considerable discussion here. The practicability of the adoption of such a plan for use in cases where obstinate witnesses are being dealt with, or even the possibility of the thing ever being allowed in our courts when de manded by an attorney, has engaged attention of several lawyers. Many of them who were interviewed by a Star reporter held conflicting views on the subject. William G. Davis, a member of the law firm of Dos Passos Brothers, No. 1.5 Wall Street, said that it was possible that the idea of Dr. Leigions might re ceive the serious consideration of our courts, but he doubted if the courts would take the initiatory step toward maturing it. If some well known law yer would make the suggestion before some judge, he thought it remotely possible that lie would succeed in his purpose. The first thing necessary, he thought would be to get the court in terested in the subject. After that it would be plain sailing. Or the court might appoint a commission:to have the experiment made. James A O'Gorman of No. 20S Broadway favored the project. Evi dence, he said, :rocured from a person in a hypnotic state, by an expertspecia list, might be presented in court, the same as is expert medical testimony. The policy of the law, he said, is to get the best possible evidence, and he be lieves that testimony procured under the circumstances suggested might be permitted before a jury. If the exigen eis of a case made it prudent to have the test made, Mr. O'Gorman said he doubted if the court would be justified in preventing it. Of course, a great deal would depend on the subject to be experimented with. People of strong will could oppose it, while others could not prevent it being made. Robert H. Griffin of Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll's office was also seen, and lie scouted the idea of such a thing ever being attempted here. Prisoners and witnesses in our courts are always treated with scrupulous fairness, he said, and it would be against the funda mental principles of our laws to allow it. If the thing was suggested in court, the witness on whom it would be pro posed to operate could' object to it as against the common rights of citizens, and no court in the country would over rule the objection. One of the junior members of the firm of Evarts, Choate & Beaman, ef WalliStreet, said that the suggestion was to many impracticable, and he doubted if such an experiment would ever be made in our courts. It would be an infringement oft the private rights of citizens, and that fact would be the chief obstacle in its way. Alfred Jaretzaki, of No. 45 Wall Street, said that it is doubtful if the scheme would ever meet with the ap proval of our courts. What the law asks from a witness is that he or she give evidence to the best of his or her kowledge.'.By resorting to hypnotism or any 6ther unusual influence to com pel witnesses or prisoners to testify would be a direct violation of the law. Then, again, the law explicity states that a man need not testify against himself. If a man is suspected of a crime it is the law's duty to prove his innocence or guilt. The utilization of hypnotism here t.o further the ends of justice would he another violation of the statute. Several other prominent lawyers were seen, but many had taken only a transitory interest in the trial at Paris, and declined to express an opinion on the practicability of the utilization of Dr. Liegeoi's snggestion. Others doub ted that hypnotism would ever be used in our courts. One or two thought that the thing might be adopted if some of the most prominent lawyers approved of it and laid the matter before the proper authorities. A STROLL .INTERRUPTE D. Low a Belgian soldier WVon a Corpora'U stripes. [Independent.] The oft-told story of Napoleon and the sentinel repeated itself in a curious nanner a short time ago at Laeken, the favorite residence of the king and ueen of the Belgians. Shortly after usk the queen, accompanied by her favorite dogs, started on foot to meet the king on his return from the Arden The nmoon was rising, and when she ached the end of the park she was bruptly challenged by a sentinel, who emanded the password. Her majesty ad omnittedl to provide herself with it, but told the sentry who she was and asked to be allowed to proceed. Bie politely bout firmly declined, and the queen was compelled to remain where she was until the officer of the guard vas fetched, when she was, ot course, mmediately released. The soldier, on coming ofi guard, was umercifully chaffed by his comrades for his temerity, but the laugh was soon turned against themt; for when the oficer on duty returned from dining with thle king and queen, he called the trembling sentry and told him that his strict obedience to orders wvas rewarded with 50f, from the Queen, a week's leave, and promotion to the rank of orporal. Strauge to say, the whole of his company, who had unanimously ondemned him, now swvear that nei ther King, Queen nor Princess shall ever pass at Laeken without the ountersign.

TRIED TO CUT OUT HER TONGUE. She Heard a Sermon on Scandal and Brooded Over it Too Long. [New York Star.1 While suffering from temporary in sanity, caused partly by a protracted illness, but particularly by a religious craze, Mrs. Catherine Thrope, aged forty years, living in the Eastern Dis trict of Brooklyn, made a determined effort yesterday to kill herself. The weapons she used were a pearl handled penknife and a pair of scissors. She failed in the attempt so far as immedi ate results are concerned, but the atten ding physician entertains grave fears that her efforts may eventually prove successful. She now lies at her home in a criti cal condition with her left breast and throat cut, while her tongue is torn into shreds. A small piece of the tongue is missing, she having cut it off in her frantic attempt at self-destruction. Mrs. Thorpe, who lives with her husband on Vermont Street, at Ridge wood Heights, became ill some time ago. Before that she was a regular church attendant, and some days be fore she was obliged to take to her bed she heard an impressive sermon on "scandal." Left alone while sick, she must have pondered on the sermon. She has not an enemy in the world, so her husband says, and all her neigh bors speak well of her. Nevertheless, she apparently thought that she must have at one time said something dero gatory to her neighbors. This idea, hastened by the illness, made her, as it would seem, determined to cut hei tongue, so that it could offend no on again or give cause for scandal. The fact that after cutting her'throat and stabbing herself, she tried deliberately, with a pair of scissors, to cut off hei tongue. would tend to corroborate this idea. A series of piercing shrieks startled several pedestrians on Vermont Streel shortly before noon yesterday, and they rushed in the direction of the Thorpe residence, on the stoop o which they saw a woman frantically wringing her hands and appealing for assistance. In one of the rooms an other woman, who proved to be Mrs Thorpe, was slashing her body with a pair of scissors and penknife. The neighbors who responded to the cry of alarm rushed into the house, and after a fierce struggle with the de mented w man, succeeded in disarming her. Ow ag to the length of time Mrs Thorpe had been left alone and the extreme violence she had used, the floor and walls were covered with blood. In the struggle with her rescuers Mrs. Thorpe exhausted all her strength, and sank to the floor unconscious, with blood flowing freely from half a dozen wounds in her neck and breast. A policeman of the Seventeenth Pre. cinct, who had been attracted by the woman's screams, left his post and entered the house. He sent out an ambulance call, which was responded to by St. Catherine's Hospital. Dr. Whalen accompanied the vehicle. Meanwhile some one notified Dr. George Law of Pennsylvania and Atlantic Avenues of the occurence, and he assisted the ambulance surgeon in dressing the woman's wounds. She was not taken to the hospital, but remains unguarded, except by her husband, at her house. Being outside the city limits, the case does not come under the juris diction of the authorities of the Easters .District. The instruments with which the woman endeavored to end her life were taken to the Seventeenth Precinci police station. The police or the wo man's husband can assign rno cause foi the deed, excepting her temporary derangement or, as stated, her religious motives. Unearned Inacrement for an Editor.

He is one of the proprietors of the Review, published in Spokane Falls. "I went to the country when there weren't any prospects except of getting your scalp taken off," he said.
