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.
It will make no change. The in
crease in the n umber of representatives
provided for by the bill is not to take
efliet until after the :;d of M1arch, 189'3.
Consequently the~- law will work no
change in :ile electaral college until

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.

Aualsf Newberry
T HIS VALUABLE WORK IS
now going through the press, and
will soon be ready for subscribers.
Besides the original Annals of Judge
O'Neall, this book will contain the
names of all the volunteers who went
from Newberry District to the war with
Mexico; it will contain the names of
all from the County who were in the
Confederate service in any capacity
that is, all whose names the compiler
has been able to procure-with the cas
ualties that happened to them; it will
contain an account of the heroic death
of Calvin Crozier, who died that an
other might live; it will contain a
sketch of the trying times of the Re
construction.
It will contain some Revolutionary
anecdotes and scraps of history, not
nsually published in the histories of
the State, or of the United States. It
will tell of Emily Geiger and her peril
ous ride. It will contain sketches of
different sections of the county, of the
schools, of the celebrated Mount Bethel
Academy, of the religious denomina
tions, of benevolent societies, of Miss
Galloway and her mission to Egypt,
of changes in business and business
firms, of descendants of familhes who
long ago left this county.
It will contain some account of War
Times in'New berry during the late war
between the States.
Nor is the literature of the country
forgotten, but specimens of that will
be given; the history of the newspapers
will be related. Some account of the
old times, as seen through the eyes of
old men, will be given.
It has been the aim of the compiler
to make a book, valuable not only for
the present time, but for generations to
come-a standard work of reference in
the history of New berry County.te
And as the number of copies printe
will be limited, it would be well for all
persons who wish copies to give their
names, at an early day, to Mr. John A.
Chapman, the author and compiler, or
to AULL &HOUSEAL,
