A HYPNoT1sT's 1NFLUENCE.
The spen which Thomas A. Boil Cast
Over Trenton Merchants.

TRENTON, N. j., Oct 5.-Thomas A.
Bell, the man who wrecked the Star
Rubber Company and tae Trenton Rub
Der Company, makes the assertion that
he will 20 somewhere else, and will soon
be as wealthy rs no was a few months
ago, through the medium Of his hypnotic
gift, which wonderful power has already
ruined a number of men.
Among those whom Bell ruined were
Phillip A. Dunn, president of one Of the
leading banks, and Jonathan Steward a
prominent and wealthy wholesale gro
Ger. Bell had these men completely in
his hands. They did just as he wished.
When revelations Of Bells dealings were
made and nearly every business man in
Trenton understood the situation Dunn
and Steward stood behind the wrecker
and provided him with funds. Financial
ruin came to Dunn and he died, but up
to the last he was as a baby in Bslps
presence. The same was true with Stew
ard, who has also died since the dis
closures and difficulties occurred.
Bell frequently boasted that he was
gifted with a magnetic influence over
Others. There was one man, an employe
at the Star Rubber Works, upon whom
Bell frequently operated. When, for
instance, a book or document had been
lost in the office, he would call in his
man, put him under the influence OF
hypnotism, and he would at once 90 tc
the safe or shelf, as the case might be,
and put his hand on the lost article To
the person thus Under his influence Bell
could make a glass of water appear &C
be any other drink, such as chocolate
coffee or whiskey, and could make his
subject drink it supposing that it was in
reality what it seemed. Scientific exhi-
billions were given by Bell at Philadel
phia and other places, at some Of which
Dr. Ward, Of the State Insane Asylum,
was present.
At one of these MI. Bell placed his
subject directly in front of him, wit hit
| back turned so that he could not Sc,
him. Bell would then take a pin ant
stick himself, and as quick as a flash the
man he had under his power would place
his hand on the part of his own body cor
| responding to the place where Bell haC
stuck himself One of the onlook
ers, thinking there was some fraud abou
| it, asked Bell to let him take the pin anC
do the sticking. His request was grant
ed, but the result was the same.

Work began at noon. and 300 or 400
persons watched the putting tugs from
both sides of the river. At 4;I0 o'clock
Fireman Joe Cullen noticed the Parker s
boiler was foaming, and had just called
the captain attention to it when there
was an explosion, not loud, and the boat
sank to the rivers bottom.
The boiler shot into the air toward the

anchor was lifted clear over the Picard s
high masts and fell in Archer avenue.
This eastern direction was also taken

The best thing to do

Ibe OcSJ m2ng 70 90
is this when you're suffering from
Sick or Bilious Headaches, Consti-
patton, Indigestion, Bilious Attacks,
or any arrangement of the Liver,
Stomach, or Bowels, get something
that relieves promptly and cures
pernodnently Don't shock the sys-
tenn with the ordinary pills get
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
They're the smallest, for one thing
(but that's a great thing), and the
easiest to take.
They're the best, for they work
in Natures own way mildly and
gently, but thoroughly and effec-
lively.
They're the cheapest, for they're
guardateed to give satisfaction, or
your money is returned. You pay
only for the good you get.
What more can you ask?
But don't get something that the
dealer says is "just as good" 1t
may be better for him, but it's
pretty certain to be worse for you.

REMOVED THE spL1Nrs.
Brutal Treatment of "a Laboring Man by
Buffalo Surgeon.

IL buuuAO SuTRSOus
BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 5,-Dr L. Brady
Dorr who so inhumanly treated a poor
laborer who did not have money enough
to pay for setting his broken leg, is re-
ceiving the censure of both press and
public.
Frank Snyder, laboring man, fell
from a street car and sustained frac-
ture of his right leg DR.. Dorr was
called to attend him and placed the in
jured leg in splints. Snyder asked how
much it would be, and the doctor replied
that it would cost him $40.
81 am poor man and cannot pay
such price, " replied Snyder Then Dr..
Dorr removed the splints and left the
man in his agony, saying that he could
not take care of people without money.
Some of the mans friends found him
later and took him to the hospital, where
his leg was rebandaged. The hospital
physicians say that Snyder's leg will be
crooked and that he will be a cripple for
life. 1t was due to taking the splints
away after the leg had been injured.
