The Power of Suggestion.

The full significance of suggestibility
is apparent when we remember that
teaching, preaching, acting, public
speaking and pleading are forms of sug-
gestion, says Professor E. W. Scripture
of Yale university. The freaks of hyp-
notism are performed by suggestion.
The faith cures and miraculous effects
of the grotto of Lourdes are benevolent
suggestions The ceremonials of our
churches are suggestions bringing us
into a religious frame of mind. The
manipulations of the spiritualists and
the monotonous blackness of a funeral
are all forms of suggestion. How shall
we develop the children SO as to produce
in them minds well balanced in respect
to suggestion? Is this not as important
task as learning to do percentage or
to parse a sentence? Here is field
where the educator must dig for facts.

LIeHTNlNG'S WORK.
1t Strikes II Church and Injuries Many
Worshipcrs.


FLEMINGToN. n. j., Aug. 5.-The
scarcely left the lips of Rev. Mr.. Bow
man, in the Methodist church at
Quakertown, miles above here, Sun
day, when there came a binding flash
of lightning and terrifying burst of
thunder that all but wrecked the little
building. The bolt entered the church
and injured a score of people, several
of them probably fatally. The list of
those most seriously injured follows:
James Hoff, Minnie Grace, Miss X.
Hoffman, Asa Bannon, the sexton, and
Mrs. bowman, wife Of the pastor.
The bolt seemed to enter the edifce
by the basement, shooting up through
the floor and bursting with the force
of huge cannon. Members of the
congregation who had started to leave
or were standing in groups conversing
with each other We're thrown into q
wild panic, while at least twenty of
them received injuries more or less
severe
All the clothing was torn from Sex
ton Bannon, while his shoes looked as
though they had been run through a
corn shelter, being literally cut to
pieces. He is suffering from the
shock and can hardly recover. The
bolt struck through the floor, right at
the feet of Minnie Grace, and she
was thrown down with great violence.
Her watchguard was melted, and the
timepiece looks as though it had
gone through a furnace. 1t stopped at
1910, grim record of the time of the
cruel visitant. Miss Grace's life is de.
SPARED of. Mrs. Bowman, who stood
near Miss Grace, was also thrown down
by the awful explosion. Her hat was
torn from her head and IA steel ripped
clean out of her corset. She is still un.
conscious from the shock.
Examination of the building after
the excitement had subsidized somewhat
showed that the bolt had struck an
outer wall, ran down to the basement
so feet along the joists, and shot ur
through the floor like huge bullet
The large bell in the tower was loos
ened from its hangings and only 6
slender strip OF scantliug kept it from
crashing down upon the heads o
scores of people at the doorway.

MISSIONARIES MURDERED.
Fhirteen Killed In the Late Massacre In
China-Americans Safe.


LONDON, Aug. 5.--The Telegraph
ing that the massacre at Ku Cheng
occurred on July 81. The of
ficials suppressed the news for
three days The names of the
killed are: Miss Elsie Marshall, Miss
Annie Gordon, Miss Bessie Newcombe
and Miss Flora Stewart, all of the Eng
lish Zenana mission; Miss Nellie Saun-
ders, Miss Topsy Saunders, Rev. DR..
Stewart and Mrs. Stewart, of the Church
Missionary society Five of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stewards children We're killed
and two survive. One had one knee
broken and the other, baby, lost an
eye. The following were saved: Miss
Hartwell, of the American missions:
Miss Coddington, of the English
Zenana mission, and Rev. III. s. Phil
lips, of the English church missionary
society.
United States Consul Hixson, who is
stationed at Foy Chow with party of
volunteers, upon receipt of the news
of the massacre started on steam
launch for the scene and has returned,
bringing with him the wounded Amer
leans. The experiences of the sur
vivors were terrible. They say that
death was the least part of the suffer
ings of the butchered women. The in
dignation here is intense Neverthe-
less, the many warships in the harbor
are idle.
Rev. Mr.. Stewart, wife and children,
were burned in their house. The
Misses Yellow and Marshall, two Sis
ters named Saunders, two sisters named
Gordon and Steetie Newcombe
were murdered with spears and
swords. Miss Codrington was seri-
ouslY wounded about the head
and Stewards eldest child had
a knee cap badly injured, while
the youngest had an eye gouged out.
Rev. Mr. Phillips, with two Americans,
DIR. Gregory and Miss Hartford, were
both wounded, but arrived sa ely at
Flu Chau Flu.
The Standard S special from Shanghai
says that the news of the massacre was
suppressed for three days by the
Chinese officials. The mandarins will
endeavor to throw all the blame upon
the secret societies but it is known
that they were encouraged by respon-
sible officials. The Chinese troops have
been dispatched to the scene. The
British and American consuls will have
| an interview with the viceroy to- day.

The correspondent says four other

The Chinese magistrate at Ku Cheng
waited for the completion of the mas
sacre before appearing upon the scene.
There are 1000 soldiers at Ku Cheng.
1t is therefore absurd to say that the
authorities could not have stopped the
massacre, which was evidently care
fully and secretly organized.
The American mission at Shashino,
near Hankow, has been destroyed and
the missionaries are fugitives. The
American consul has advised the mis-
sionaries in adjacent provinces to re.
tire.
SHANGHAI, Aug. 6.-At crowded
meeting Monday of the European resi-
dents of this city speeches coudemning
the action of the Chinese authorities
in the case of the massacre
of missionaries at Whai-IIan, near
Ku Cheng, on Thursday last, were
made and a resolution was adopted to
appeal directly to the European gov
eruments against the outrage. The
resolution also referred to the made
quate manner in which China has dealt
with the perpetrators of the former
outrages.
Some of the speakers at the ting
declared they have lost confidence in
the diplomats at Pekin. United States
Minister DENLY and British Minister
N. r. OConnor are being especially de-
nounced. The Americans desire a spe-
cial commission under United States
Consul Jernigan to inquire into the
outrages in Ku Cheng. Minister O'Con-
nor has assented to this.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The statement
from United States Minister DENLY
and Consul-General Jernigan that no
Americans were injured in the attack
by the Chinese mob upon the missions
| at Ku Chenp relieves the navy depart-
ment from the necessity of ordering
some of the American naval forces to
the scene of trouble, although this in
cident will undoubtedly form the sub
ject of. another demand upon the
Chinese government for reparation and
indemnity for the outrage upon the
property rights of the American mis-

when the government first stamped
silver and gold into money in 1902 the
Intention was to give full dollars
worth of silver and ten full dollars
worth of gold. There was no sugges-
stion of an artificial quality being given
to the legal tender coins of the coun-
try. The endcavor was simply to fol-
low the commercial ratio as near
as possible and avoid anything of
a fiat or fictitious nature. Neither
jefferson nor Hamilton would have
for moment considered the PROPOSE
ton to put the dollar stamp on fifty
cents worth of silver or make ten of
such dollars" exchangeable for an

Gospel plan of good measure was
worthy of practice by the government
and that it formed the basis of sound
money as we'll as sound morals.

PANlCS AND BAD MONEY.
Failure OF Cheap Money Parties in Hard
Times.


Times.
In his excellent speech at Gaines
vile, Ga, Secretary HolSe Smith stated
that every panic has developed par
ty in favor of bad money, but with re-
turning prosperity the party has died"
1t is certainly true that the panic of
1893 developed u party in favor of bad
money. 1t is just as certainly true that
the panic of 1873 developed such par
ty, and that the party died after re-
sumptionin in good money and the return
of prosperity i'll 1879.
1t is interesting to recall the fact
that the bad money party developed
by the panic of 1872 fairly stampeded
both the old parties and procured the
passage of bad money bill through
both houses of congress in 1874. That
bill did not become law because
President Grant was not quite STAN
peded and stopped the measure with a
veto.
The bad money party developed by
the panic of 1893 has not succeeded in
accomplishing anything like as much
as its predecessor did in 1874, 1t com
pleleiy ltleu III lJS tGIeuipI w prevent
the repeal of the silver purchase pro-
visions of the Sherman law. and it has
not succeeded in getting any kind OF
bad money bill through either house OF
congress- These are encouraging facts.
They indicate that the present bad
money party is not so dangerous as its
predecessor was, and that it will die
shortly rs its predecessor did. d.-Chicago
