if any Populist on tbe stump, candi¬

where, by Populiet euceees, the State

far from reductog taxes, they say
they want to spend something like
11,000,000 lor free school books,
and tax tbe people to pay for them.
Free school books are very desirable
to those who pay no taxes; but tbe
taxpayers—tbe people who support
the State government—are already
sufficiently burdened.

Judge Hinea, the Populiet eandi-

tbe light of day.
Tbi# record ie continually coming
to tbe front, and it will keep him
from being governor if nothing elee
will.

It waa introduced by bim on

Tbe bill, which sbowa bow tbe

[Special Correspondence.]
Paws, Sept. II.—The message re¬
ceived the other day by the republic of
France, tbe largest iu Europe, from tbe
republic of Andorra, the smallest in the
world, was a surprising thing. It was
instigated by » Spanish prelate and pos¬
sessed other qualities than tbat of being
a surprise It was amusing and at the
same time significant, and while it can¬
not be said to have been important in
the sense that would attach to such a
eommunicaMqfdf Andorra were » larger

able diplomatic oorreapondence before
tbe last word is beard about it
Tbe republic of Andorra baa a popu¬
lation of but 9,000 souls, and it is be¬
cause of its numerical insignificance,
coupled with tbe unique physical territory, char¬
acteristic* of its location and
tbat it lias been able to preserve a vir¬
tual independence sinoe tbe time of the
“emperor with tbe long beard," Charle¬
magne, who gave it its autonomy. It is
situated in a narrow, secluded vale,
high up in the Pyrenees, that noble
range tbat divides France from Spain.
All about it are high rooky mountain
walls, which at paints rise into impos¬
ing pine clad peaks, that stand watch
aad ward over the handful of men and
women who live and toil below. Over
the territories of France and Spain the
red tide of war has surged back and
forth. Waged between the two fiery na¬
tions, it has reached across the range
more than once, but through it all,
when thrones have crumbled and dynas¬
ties bare changed, Andorra bas been at
peaca
Its people, simple in their lives,
primitive in their thought, have been
content to let the ontside world worry
and fight, while they have attended to
their own small affairs. As in matters
ot war, so it has been in mental and
material things. Andorra has slept
while the world has rushed by, and
the Andorran* of today transact their
affairs, eat, sleep and clothe themselves
as did their ancestors of hundreds of
years pgo. Only at rare intervals has
the outside world even remembered that
there was aa Andorra, and then il has
almost always been only because some
writer at books or maker of pictures has
sought out the vale and made known
some at the quaint things there apd no-
whore else existing outside the realm ot
fancy. with
Although possessing autonomy certain of An¬
regard to internal affairs,
dorra’s outside matters have always
been controlled by a sort of joint
suzerainty between France and Spain,
the former’s control being direct,
while that of Spain has been through
the bishop of UrgeL It is he who
put up the Andorrans to send the
message spoken of, wherein France was
notified that in future she must cease to
mind the affairs at her small neighbor.
Its people feel now, they say, that with
the bishop’s help they can get along
very well alone. Two or three years ago
this same bishop of Urgel declared that
no telegraph wire oould pass over Andor¬
ran territory, for he held the telegraph
to be an, invention of satan. Just how
this matter turned out I do not remem¬
ber, and perhaps few others ontside
those directly interested do either, for
hurrying men of affairs have more im¬
portant matters to think and worry and
talk about. The bishop’s authority, it
will be observed, is well nigh as great
as that of a monarch, and it is quite
likely that he controls the elections. In
that case he ia as much of a boss as even
was Mr- Croker of New York, of whom
Paris has heard reoently. The bishop’s
influence and that of his predecessors,
however, must have always been salu¬
tary, for we are told tbat crime bas
been unknown in Andorra since the
close of the seventeenth century. The
people still speak with something pike
aWe of the last instance. It was the out¬
come of a love affair and was not a very
heinous offense.
Lawsuits seem to be almost as rare
as crime, and there are but two notaries
in all Andorra. They receive small fees
for their services, but all other publio du¬
ties are performed gratuitously. All able
bodied adult male Andorrans are nomi¬
nally members of tho army, so that the
republic has quite a military force, but
its martial duties are light, for the last
recorded engagement occurred more than
1,000 years ago. The state is governed
by a select council of 84 members, elect¬
ed each year, and a president, chosen
for life from among tbe oldest and wis¬
est men. From this it will appear that
great respect is paid to age. This is ren¬
dered more apparent “even by the fact
that the oldest member of each family
is its nominal and actual head and is
obeyed implicitly by all the others. It
is to be hoped that the recent action of
the council in cutting loose from France
will not tend to destroy the almost
ideal and wholly quaint customs and
life of the people of the tiny state.

Other Wonderful Test*.
New Yokk, 8ept. 23.—A'little slip of
a woman, who Weighs 98 pounds, stood
in a parlor of the Sturfwaut Hook* and
played the very mischief with the law
of weight* and several other laws, totha
consternation of many distinguished
physicians, who were as completely at a
loss to explain the exhibition as were ths
laymen who saw it.
Mrs. Annie Abbott is so small in ap¬
pearance that it seemed that any able-
bodied man could lift her from the floor
but if Mrs. Abbott doesn’t wish to be
lifted she is harder to raise than a car
window. This strange and has inexplioaUe made her
power which she possesses
famous in other parts of -the world, but
it has never before been seen in New
York.
Iu Germany she has stirred up a fine
row among wise professors, and she has
•idled for Europe to help some Gt the
professors out, for they have gone to
law over a book written about her. She
intended starting sooner, but her de¬
parture was delayed by a nervous at¬
tack, and Dr. Thomas H. Bailey was
called to attend her. He was so com¬
pletely flabbergasted by Mrs. Abbott
that he decided, in the interest of sci¬
ence, to make it pleasant for his learned
friends, who langhed at him when he
told them about the strange woman.
So he arranged for the exhibition just
passed.
Mrs. Abbott made said a little- speech to
begin with. She she wouldn’t call
it anything; she would make some tests,
and those who saw it could call tbe
power what they liked. And if they
could explain to her just what it was
she would be very much obliged. She
didn’t know anything about magnet¬
ism nor hypnotism She nor electricity nor
occultism. Georgia, was an ignorant coun¬
try girl, born in who had mar¬
ried when she was 13, and all the edu¬
cation she had she had picked up her¬
self. She explained placed the in board the platform by
which had been room
saying that she could not work on car¬
pets or metals.
Then Mrs. Abbott started right in.
She called her daughter, who is 12 years
old, aud who wore a lift yellow dress, and
asked the doctor to the little girl.
The doctor, who came forward, was a
big man. He picked np the ohild with¬
out difficulty. lift her,” the wise
“It is easy to said

“Now we will try smiling. the experiment,” “I’ll place

Now then!”
The doctor drew The ohild a long breath slightly and
began to lift. was
raised and then sank back again. The
man tagged and pnlled harder than
ever. “Lemme get a better hold,” he
said, breathlessly. Then he clasped the
girl about the waist and pulled harder
than ever. Suddenly the ohild shot
into the air.
“The doctor’s hands came in con¬
tact, ” explained Mrs. Abbott. “When
that occurs I no longer have any con¬
trol.”
They tried this experiment and de¬
monstrated its trnth. Three soiled,
grinning urchins from the street were
brought upon the platform. They and
the little girl elapsed hands and four
strong men gathered behind them. The
men made individual attempts to lift
the youngsters, and, each failed.
“Now, then, all together," said Mrs.
Abbott, and the four men began to tug
away at the children who had 1 elapsed
hands. Not one little foot left the floor,
although the men tugged until their
faces looked like lobsters.
Mrs. Abbott Said she wanted 15 or 18
men to come on the platform. So Dr.
Bailey and his wise brethren, some of
whom weighed more than 250 pounds,
stood up. She arranged them in a line,
one man grasping the front man by the
coat collar, while the other hand was
placed in the small of tjhe back. of Mrs. the

“Now, push me through the wall, if
you can,” she said.
They did their level best and it seemed
that Bhe must be driven clear through
into the street. But the line oollapsed
like a jackknife. The physician Mrs. Abbott whom scarcely she
budged. hands said he upon felt

When this was over every one gath¬
ered about Mrs. Abbott aud looked upon
her with opeu mouths. It was a trifle
uncanny, but it was nothing compared
with what followed. A pair of ordinary
platform scales was brought in from the
storeroom of the hotel. The storekeeper
came along to do the weighing.
“We’i! ”^aid have my weight the first
thing, Mrs. Abbott, briefly.
She stepped on the scales, the store-
keeper began to fnss with the weight.
He moved it back and forth in the most
eccentric fashion. He became nervous
and the perspiration dripped from his
brow.
“What does she weigh?” asked an im¬
patient “I don’t man. know,” the reply.
was
“Can’t you weigh her?”
“She weighs anything from 70 pounds

Dr- Townsend came forth to assist in
the test He was found to weigh 195
pounds. A board was placed over the
scales. The hands doctor Mrs. was Abbott’s told to plaoe

and then bear upon her with all his

He did so and the combined weight of
the two was less than 100 pounds. and then A

That man tugged until the blood
seemed about to buret from his veins.
He could raise the ohild on his toes, but
the toes would not leave the floor. Dr.
Frauenthal tried. He could do no bet¬
ter. No man there ooold lift the little
chap free of the floor.
After it was all over the doctors talked gath¬ it
ered about Mrs. Abbott and
over. When they were asked their
opinion they spoke as did Dr. Bailey:
“I can’t explain it. There isn’t any
explanation. You can’t doubt the evi¬
dence of your own senses, but you cart 1
explain it in any way. It simply is,
