SCENE IN THE FAMOUS CLINIC OF M L1EBEAULr

giving her an opportunity to find in that
blessed oblivion the relief that can be
gained in no other manner. except by the
use of anodynes. l am sure that there
is no woman who would object to being
placed under the influence of hypnosis
if she understood how beneficial it would
be to her under such circumstances.
II don't hesitate to make the aSser-
tion that hypnotism Is of far greater
benefit than the ordinary sleep. Neither
sleep nor medicine can approach in
power the effect of thought reacting by
suggestion upon the organism. OF course
the hypnotized subject is possessed Of
but single idea-whatever may have
been suggested by the hypnotist. If it
be a woman, she Is practically isolated
mentally from the world about her. She
possesses no thought, no knowledge of
the pain she is really enduring. Under
the influence, then, of this suggestion
the nervous force of the subject liberia
ted freely from or accommodating in cer-
tain organs of the body, reacts without
hindrance upon the morbid affections
to which it is directed, and that often
with a prodigious intensity which seems
to work miracles. The subject wakens
at the proper time at the suggestion OF
the hypnotiSt and has no recollection or
idea that she has been subjected to a
great physical strain.
1T is not true that hypnotism is dam
gerous, provided that the power is ex-
ercised by fit persons. But If the would
be hypnotist is not a proper individual
to use the wonderful power, then his
influence is evil indeed. would say that
the successful hypnotist must have alb
solute self confidence, must be sure of
success when he begins, and above all
things be the possessor of a manner
which Is persuasion itself. These quail
tiles insure any person power to place
subject under the influence of hypno-
sis. Since mankind has existed they
nave voluntarily put themselves intS

influence of hypnosis Simply because
the power of the hypnotist does not ex-
tend that far. A person may be made
to become toroughly insensible to pain,
and his mind may be turned in various
directions, up to certain limit, but that
limit reached, then a halt must be called,
or rather, the hypnotist finds himself in
capable of forcing further action on the
part of his subject. Truly he may make
the subject think of crime by offering
such suggestion. but he cannot force
him to commit action of that sort.
1T is very plain to the hypnotist who
has given the subject thought and who
has tested his ideas by experiment, that
hypnosis as applied to women to relieve
them of frightful pain is of inestimable
value. For instance, in the matter of
therapeutics, it is exceedinly useful.
You see for centuries it has been admit
ted that there was no medicine that
equaled sleep. Therefore the doctor who
can place his patient at a critical time
under the influence of hypnosis, is really

PARIS, Feb. 2.-The popular mind is
absorbed in a new study, one which is
almost startling in IT'S results. 1t Is the
effect Of hypnotism upon women. The
deeper one delves into the question. the
greater becomes the interest. 1t might
naturally be supposed that hypnotic sug-
gestion would be largely the same in
effect and result regardless Of sex. That
Is not SO at all. The greatest hypnotists
of the day have taken the matter up and
have demonstrated by experiment that

Mr.. Lyman J. Gage seems likely to
prove the most entertaining figure of
the Mckinley cabinet. 1t is seldom that
a newly appointed official selected from
private life has had to do as much Wig
orous denying of stories about his opin-
ions as he. The multiplicity of curious
rumors about his acts unite in creating
the mpression-probably just-that the
tendency of his mind is toward radical
ism, and that his environments and cali
ing as banker alone prevented him
from frankly allying himself with pro-
gressive students of politics and social
organizations.
One of the first curious revelations
about Mr.. Gage is that he wrote letter
to Governor Altgeld warmly urging the
pardon Of anarchists. What curious
The herald., 1897-02-14

turn in the affairs of men it is that he
now should accept office as a result of
victory in campaignin which that par
don was used as reason for d,enouncing
the supporters of Governor Altgeld and
Mr.. Bryan as anarchists. Far be it
from us to suggest that the appointment
of Mr.. Gage is a shrewd bid for the an
archst vote, but doubtless that vote is
worth bidding for In the late election
it approached 6,500,000 or rather more
than Mr.. Cleveland ever polled.
Mr.. Gage has denied that he is a ''sin-
gle taxer," but there are not lacking
earnest followers of Henry George in
Chicago who recall his early interest in
this economic creed, and the fact that
his frank expressions of approval of
it were ultimately ourbed by the objec-
tions Of the directors of his bank. He
denies also that he is spiritualist--
which is not important If true-an6
pleads guilty to a wig. Finally he is on
record as an international bimetaliist,
a proponent of the cancellation of the
greenbacks and an advocate of leaving
to the banks the issuance of money
though his own bank refuses to issue
any.
1t will not be surprising If the sensa-
tion Of the next administration shall be
Gage. Few men have larger assort-
ment of ill-ordered ideas than he, but it
is fair to note that few have shown such
perfect Willingness to abandontheir con-
victions when it seemed wise.-New York

Y. o. HAVE1fEYER SUED.
A Former Employe Accuses tho Sugar
 Magnate of Slander.


 New York, April 16.-Papers have been served on Henry o. Havemeyer, president of the Sugar Trust, in a suit for $1o000 damages for islander and libel, the plaintiff in the case being John Bergin of Brooklyn. Bergin was formerly in the employ of MT. Have meyer as foreman at the docks in the raw sugar department at South Fifth street and the East river. The libel and islander alleged by the plaintiff took place during the late senate inVestiga- tion of the trusts in the City hall, New York.
 While this committee was in session and was considering the matter of the number of men thrown out of em- ployment by the formation of the Sugar Trust Bergin followed Havemeyer on the stand and when asked by Senator Lexow how many men were thrown out of employment in 1886 at the time that the eight sugar houses along the docks of the East river were absorbed by the trust, answered:
 Between five and six thousand"
 President Havemeyer, sitting at the time behind his counsel is reported as having remarked audibly:
 What liar that man is"
 Later when the witness testified to having been discharged as the result of a strike in 1894. and having said:
 'At that time between 800 and soc men were thrown out of employment, " Mir Havemeyer is recorded as having remarked:
 That man is a bigger liar than he looks"
 Mir. Bergin, when seen to-day, said; "Yes, have commenced a suit for $10, 900 damages for slander and libel and the papers were signed by me on Mon- day"

SUPREME TEST NEAR AT HAND.
Will the Levee Holding the Mississippi
 Stand the Strain.

Memphis, Tenn, April 16.-Advices from Natchez and other points below vicksburg indicate that the supreme test in the flood situation is near The swift current is rising steadily and beating against the levees with such force as to cause the greatest appre- hension at many places. At NatChez the river is near the top of the levee. All kinds of rumors have been current to-day regarding wholesale loss of life on Davis Island, but diligent tele graphic inquiry falls to confirm the story. It is known that three negroes were drowned on the island, but outside of these no loss of life is known to have occurred.
 At Vicksburg the river is rising at the rate of four-tenths of a foot daily. The swift volume of water pouring out of the Yazoo into the Mississippi at a point twelve miles north of Vicksburg will continue for several days. The levees between Bedford store, four miles south of Delta, La, to Duck port, six miles above, are in a precari- ous condition, and every man and boy available is at work strengthening the embankment. At some points in this stretch of levee the water is washing over and the greatest alarm is felt. A more cheerful feeling exists in the Delta tonight.
 At Memphis the river is stationary. Encouraging accounts of the improve ment in the condition of the overflowed territory above Memphis are coming in.

Those of MT. and Mrs. Reynolds were in caskets covered with black broad cloth, while the casket that held the charred remains of their adopted daughter Servilla was white. All of the caskets were buried in flowers.
 Rev. Massena Goodrich of Central Falls and Rev. C. J. White of Woon- socket conducted the services, which were brief but pathetic. The bodies were inferred in the cemetery at Acotes hill.

GLaDSTONE AGAIN SPEAKS,
Calls Emperor William and the Czar Tw
 Youthful Despots.


 London, April 16-Mr. Gladstone has written a letter to the Macedonia leader, Captain Dampzer, in which he says:
 Under the present deplorable scheme all the British government has right to do, seemingly, is to plead it's opinons before a tribunal of two youthful despots, the emperors of Ger many and Russia, and to abide by their help to execute their final determina- tions.
 "Our disgraceful office seems to be be to place ships, guns, soldiers and sailors at their disposal for the pur- pose of keeping down the movement for the liberty of Crete and of securing to these young despots, who have in no wise earned the confidence of Europe, the power of deciding questions which rightfully belong to the Cretans."

GORDY MUST HANG.
To be Sentenced To-day-His Aged Mother
 Heartbroken.

Heartbroken.
 Georgetown, Del,' April 16.-James M, Gordy, convicted last night of murder in the first degree for the killing of hls wife, formerly Mrs Mary Estelle Lew is of New York, will be brought into court tomorrow morning and sen fenced to be hanged. Counsel for the defence have decided to make no ob- jection to this procedure, and there will be no application for delay in the inn position of the sentence. The motion in arrest of judgment was made to put the time of sentence in doubt, so that the crowd would disperse and a sensa- tional scene be thus obviated.
 Gordy's old mother, sixty seven years of age, is at the home of her son-in- law, Levin H. Moore, thirty-two miles from here. She is heart-broken over her sons awful fate. To-day she sat surrounded by her daughter and seven grandchildren, all weeping.
 For twelve years, ever since James suffered from a bad attack of fever" said the old lady, 'nly life has been made miserable by his way of living. He was a boy of but one idea at a time, and it took us all to keep him moving along somewhere near right.
 If you see my boy" she cried brok- enly, "tell him, for me, to remember that he has a wife and baby in heaven awaiting his coming. Tell him, oh tell him to look to Him who died for just such sinners as he"

 Washington, April 16-Information has been received here that the president of the Swiss republic has been selected as arbi- trator of the Boundary dispute between Brazil and French Guiana. The territory involved exceeds that at issue between Great Britain and Venzuela, and Includes rich gold mining districts. It was thought President Mckinley would be designated as arbitrator, but as France was enc of the parties to the treaty an European arbitrat- or was preferred.
 The dispute reached an acute stage a few months ago when a French warship was dispatched to the territory In question In one of the border conflicts several French officers were killed It is understood that the arbitration will settle the boundary line and also adjust the claims growing out of the border conflicts
