A Long delayed Improvement.

The announcement made in the Morn
ing News yesterday that an agreement
has about been perfected for the IMPROVE
ment OF the old cemetery on South Broad
street gave very general satisfaction.
For years and years the necessity for
improving the cemetery has been dis
cussed For a long time there has been
an almost unanimous public sentiment
that the walls Of the graveyard should
be removed and the place made into a
pretty park. Only very few OF those
having ancestors buried there raised OBJ
Elections 10 changes being made. and
there is reason to believe their objections
could have been overcome easily If a
plan of Improvement had been decided
upon and energetic steps taken to carry
it into effect. The real reason nothing
was done was that no one of the city
authorities was disposed to put himself
to much trouble about the matter. The
desire for improvement was not strong
enough TO cause any one to specially in
terest himself in the cemetery.
At last. however, something is to be
done toward making an attractive park
out of a place that has been sort. OF
blotch upon the fair face of the city
for a generation or more. Alderman Car
rard. who has charge of the matter.
has been working quietly, but effectively,
to accomplish the purpose he has in
view. and it is now quite certain that
success will crown his efforts. The I'M

old cemetery will become a place to lie
visited. 1t will cease to be regarded as
a closed-up graveyard. overgrown with
rank weeds and damp and unsightly. and
will be a resort for sweet voiced chill
dren and a resting spot for people
seeking recreation on pleasant after
moons.
The improvement should be begun as
soon as possible, so that it would be
completed by the coming winter. With
the old cemetery improved the already
great beauty of South Broad street would
be greatly increased.

At the Medico-Legal conference in
New York on Thursday there was deep
ly interesting and very valuable discussion
of experimental psychology. Judge Dali
ley, of Brooklyn, stated that a hypnotist
cannot induce a virtuous subject to COM
nit acts of vice. The Importance of this
statement is appreciated when it is un-
derstood that the claim has been
made recently in the cases of sew
eral persons who committed crimes that
they were hypnotized and simply obey
ed the ommands of others.
Judge Daley did not submit satisfactory
evidence of the correctness of his state
ment, and there are those who having
made a very close study of hypnotism con-
tend that the position taken by Judge
Daley is wrong. Among them is Dr.
Howard, of Baltimore, who is regarded
as an authority. According to his view
there Is evil in every human being, and
that a skillful and potent hypnotist can
make any person whom he can control
commit wrongful acts.
In the New York papers of Friday
there is remarkable story, of which
young girl of Roseland, New Jersey, is
the subject. Her name is Mary Osborn
and she is of good family and has an
unblemished reputation. Recently, men
of the town. married and single, have re-
ceived letters of a rather shocking char
acter, purporting to bear her signature
A married man who received one of these
letters called at the cottage of Mrs. Os-
born. the mother of the girl, and showed
her the letter, and stated to her that other
men had received similar letters.
The mother called her daughter into the
room. With her came a man who is
known as DR.. Jackson, a boarder at
the Osborn cottage. and a comparative
stranger in Roseland. The daughter was
asked if she was the author of the let
ters. The doctor looked at her and said:
You have nothing to say. have you?'
and she answered in mechanical way,
Nothing" To each question she gave
an answer that was plainly dictated by
the doctor. She appeared to have no
will of her own. She declined to say
whether or not she was in any way
connected with the letters, but it was ev-
ident that she answered each question as
the doctor wished.
Was she hypnotized. and did she write
the letters while obedient to the doc
tors will? That is the question that is
puzzling the people of Roseland. If the
Roseland story be true one does it not
sustain DIR. Howard rather than Judpa
Daley?
