Washington. Iectured Sunday night at the
Minnesota Avenue Presbyterian Church,
under the auspices of the temperance COM
nafttee of the Young Peoples Society Of
Christian Endeavor.
A conference was held last night in the
hall over Mr.. Thomas Gray's store between
the locked out drivers of the Anacostia
railway company, some Of the citizens of
the town who sympathize with them and
several Of the members Of the Street Rail
way Assembly, the object being. as stated
by one Of those who called the meeting. to
encourage any of the strikers who may be
disposed to weaken to stand firm. and be-
heve that President Griswold will eventual

former employees back into his service.
Speeches were made by Messrs. w. C.
Van Hoy, r. D. Buckley and others The
leading address was by Mr.. Van Hoy, who
maintained that the revenues of the rail-
way company are being SO much affected
by the coaches that Mr.. Griswold will be
forced, for the protection of his own inter-
ests and these of his stockholders. to again
give Ills old men work and at the rate Of

the facilities Of the enterprise, and that
the boxes for the collection of nickles or
coins of larger denomina ton have been
taken out of the vehicles.
The question between Mr.. Grswold and
his former drivers. backed by the railway
assembly, seems to have resolved itself in
to one of endurance. The members of the
latter freely admit that 1t is their intention
to run the coaches so long as the funds are
forthcoming TO do SO, and President Girls

reporter that he will not. under any cir

UNDER THE ORGANS SPELL.
The Strange Effect of Church Music al
n Young Woman of Evanston.

Young Woman of Evanston.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Church music has strange effect upon
the sensibiities of Miss Bessie Ayres of
Evanston. During the service at the First
Congregational Church in that suburb Miss
Ayres was completely hypnotized by the
strains of the organ, and she finally went
into a hypnotic trance, from which she was
resuscitated with the greatest difficulty.
The usual notices had been given out, and
then DR.. Loba made the usual matter-of-
fact announcement: 1.-THE morning collec-
ton will nov be taken" Scott Wheeler
who was presiding at the organ. at once
started into a particularly powerful selee-
ton from one of Dudley Bucks compost
tons.
AS soon as the strains of the organ were
heard those sitting near Miss Ayres noticed
that she half rose in her seat as IL to
change her position. Then she seemed to
think better of 1T, and sat down again. In
a moment those In the same pew noticed
that her fingers were twitching nervously
and that her face had become red as to
be nearly purple. 1t was evident that
something was wrong.
A kindly disposed lady sitting in the pew
behind asked Miss Ayres II she could give
her any assistance. She turned to reply to
the well-meant inquiry, but no words came
fl m her lips She seemed to be making a
her whole body was cow twitching. as If
she were the victim of st. vitus' dance.
Suddenly the blood left Miss Ayres' face
as 1t had come. and left her as pale as
death itself. She made an attempt to rise
wavered, tried to catch herself on the pew
in front, and fell headlong into the aisle
with jar which startled every one on that
side of the church.
She was carried out of the audience room
to the open air, where. 1T was thought, she
would at once recover, but she was still as
iI.sensible as when first picked up. After
a few moments Of vigorous work she slow
~ began to revive, much to the relief of
her nun ses. The usual question of Where
am II" was asked by Miss Ayres soon
as she recovered consciousness sufficiently
to become aware of what was going on
about her.
II have not the first memory" she went
on, "of anything that happened after 1

DIR. Loba, the pastor of the church, when
qu estioned about the occurrence, said:
Miss Ayres has for long time been suf-
fering with brain trouble, but that does not
affect her unless she hears the strains of
a church organ. For long time she stay
ell away from church on this account. for
her spell today was but a repetition of for
mer experiences. There appears to be
something uncongenial, or else too con-
permanent and the sound of an organ, and
she can never hear that class Of music
without feeling the effects of it,

predicts that vegetable agent will vet be found

old age to proong human life much beyond its

Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse produced by
this thought, many eminent physicians have called
from time to time upon the Shakers of Mt. Leb-
anon to inquire OF them concerning the secrets of
medicinal plants, in which these sincere simple
minded and God fearing people known to be
wise and skillful beyond all other men,
The Shakers willingly told what they had learned
and In return received from their visitors much
valuable information about disease, which they at
once made practical of. The most important
point was TINT IL genuine and certain remedy
