A NQTABLE PLAY. I he S erling Attraction Which Will Visit Brunswick Monday, l hi .. ,'v 'SOME STILL SKEPTICAL. The Sleeping Man—Carraway Hyp notizes Some Citizens. If variety is the spice of life, the sub ject who has been put to sleep in the window of Adams’ drug store by Prof. Carraway is considerably livelier than he appears to be. No two people take precisely the same view of the matter, and where one man is convinced of the reliability of the phenomena, another cries fraud. All through the day the big plate glass window was surrounded by a curious throng of idlers, and several professional men inspected the sub ject, which they were not, however, permitted to disturb. During ihe afternoon Professor'Car raway entertained at his room a num ber of gentlemen, several of whom were successfully hypnotized. One of these visitors created considerable amusement by the manner in which he unconsciously went through the motions of a man fishing, throwing back his rod, examining an imag inary hook, and,last of all, spitting on his bait with great earnestness. The advertising given the hypnotist by the sleeping youth packed the hall last night. There was scarcely stand ing room. Some clever mind-reading was done and a number of persons in various parts of the hall put under the hypnotic influence. The great event of the night was the waking of young Ferguson, who for two days and nights has been in Adams’ show-window, an object of general curiosity. The young man, lying in bed, was brought on the stage, and Carraway commanded him to awaken. . Ferguson sprang up in bed and fought like a demon, and it re quired live men to hold him. The hyp notist finally quieted him, and after an interval of eye-rubbing and yawn ing he was completely awake. In re sponse to ques'ions, he said that the last thing he remembered was the command to sleep, and that he was not hungry. Carraway’s stay in this city has cer tainly been one of mysticism to the general public. THREE DIED. Sad Messsges to Millionaire Dwight While He Was Here.

Expressions From Members of the Board on This Important Question- Will the public scnools ot .is— wick be closed? That is at present the all-absorbing question in which every citizen is in terested. The board of education will decide the fate of the schools at the special meeting which is sailed for this morn ing at 11 o’clock. County School Commissioner H. T. Dunn has prepared a complete report of the present status of the board of education’s affairs, financial and otherwise. It will be laid before the board at today’s meeting, and with that as a basis, the board will figure out what is possible to be done under the circumstances. The Times sought expressions from a number of citizens yesterday on the subject, among them those members of the board of education who coaid be seen. The Times man was led to believe that a plan is now under advisement which will be adopted by the board. The nature of the plan was not di vulged, but it is thought to be a good one, and, under its operation, the schools can be continued through the term. A rumor was afloat yesterday to the effect that Superintendent Franklin would tender his resignation to the board today. The rumor lacks verifi cation. Of the expressions sought by The Times, the following are selections : Edwin Brobston, member of board— I am in favor of closing the schools if no substantial improvement of present conditions can be effected. I shall urge such action in the meeting. Bo far as the contract with the teachers is concerned, we will have to make a compromise on the amount of their salaries from April 1 to the end of the term, t J. L. Beach, member of hoard—l really do not know what can be done. I only hope for the best, and yet I do not know what is the best. , Mayor Mason, member of the board —I have so many city affairs to look out for that I have had little time to investigate thoroughly the condition of the schools. I will, however, attend the meeting and advise with the mem bers on the best plan to pursue. Albert Fendig—The schools should be kept in operation, and all means should be exhausted before they are closed. I should think that some plan could be devised to prevent this calamity. Henry Clav—Th“ rnosi important thing to a com,,on. <n of its financial honor; the nexc the maintenance of its schools. Judge Symmes—When Brunswick’s public schools are destroyed, then Brunswick is destroyed; and it fol lows that when the public schools are suspended, the city itself is suspended. Another gentlemen who did not wish his name used, said that he did not see how the contract with the teachers could be abrogated. There is a remarkable amount of in terest in the matter.
