The thi riadvertSement. " hich. with slight

on wOman's suffrage, and the general
sociological problems concerning women.
he did this in order to receive the views of
his correspondents.
Being an adept iinguist. he was able to
carry on the study throughout the greater
part of Europe. Many of this class of
correspondents wrote in order to improve
themselves in one or the other of the
languages named.
DIR. MacDonald'S deductions from all of
these 1000 letters are very interesting.
The majority of his correspondents have
nothing special to do in life. Although
the ma aiority foster the semi-cOnscious
idea that they will possibly meet the man
of their choice in this way.
The general cause of the disposition to
answer ''perSonalS.' he says, seems to be
want of broad education and defective
home training. The home life of many is
uncon genial. They are orphans. have step
parents or overzealous chaperons. Every
young woman should be shown the utter
folly of such a means of meeting friends.
On this account. he says it has been his
habit to wind up his correspondence with
these women by giving them sound advice
on the subject.

WOMEN STUDIED BY LETTER
Dr.. Macdonald Says 1t Reveals
Interesting characteristics.
DRAWN OUT BY ADS"
Insertions in Domestic and Foreign
Newspapers Bring Out Some
Interesting Replies.

proper study of human nature in the
opinion OF DR.. Arthur Macdonald, a WELL
known criminulogist, is that class of women
who answer personals inserted i'll daily
newspapers.
This line of investigation is entirely
unique, and DR.. Macdonald has given it
a good share OF his attention for the past
two years, and carried it on, until lately
at considerable expense. He has met
those who answered him when possible but
chiefly corresponded with them, in such "a
manner as to n.ake them confess their
objects in seeking friends through adver-
tisementS.
For some months DR.. Macdonald inserted
personals in all the leading dailies Of
America and Eurpoc using three types
of ads. One applied for correspondence
with young, educated women OF high social
and financial position The second asked
for correspondence with the same class
upon the sociolo gical developm ent of
women, and the third asked for CORES
pondence with women OF high education
or women university students in German,
French and English.
In these advertisements the doctor men
toned himself as a gentleman of social
rank and university education.
GOT THOUSANDS OF REPLIE
Dr. Mac DOHAlIilaS received, he Sd yS,aDOuJ
1000 replies to his advertisements. OF
these only about . per cent appeared TO be
questionable characters. In about 200
cases he met his correspondents ana ex-
amned their mental and nervous condi-
tiOnS. In many cases he secured their
photographs. that he might study their
facial expressions and features.
He has been able, he says, to make an
original and scientific study OF abnormal
women, not in institutions, but in society
at large, where they have direct influence
upon the morality of the world. The word
abnormal" however, does not neceS-
sarly have an uncomplimcntary meaning.
An abno rmal person may be one OF the lest
or one of the worst citizens.
His object was TO publish the letters in
book form, that students as well as the
general public interested in sociology might
get an insight into the causes of this pheno
menon. This he has lately done, he says,
emitting those letters from women Of
questionable character
He has taken careful precautions against
revealing the personalities OF any of the
correspondents, and has omitted names,
dates, mention OF places, and persoDalrefer
enCes of all kinds. His own side of the
correspondence has been entirely open.
He has given his name and address to the
women.

N. y, Saturday, caused by great desire
possessing the people to hear Bryan
speak. The hall. with seating capacity
for 5000, was crowded by 1900 people,
men even clinging to rafters. All efforts
to reduce some to leave, fearing acct
dents and loss of life, proved unavailing
until Bryan announced his intention not
to address the people. He prepared to
leave the hall when the police finally
asserted themselves and partially cleared
the hall. Congressman Sibley addressed
those on the outside.

ever try to hold him up The practical

landed a fine large blow between the

closed. and laughed. The practical

laughing matter.
