LEFT HOME FOR A HYPNoT1sT.
At His Command a Wife Deserts Hus-
band and Child.

Bridgeton, N. j.. June when Edwin
Bowen, who is forty-six years old, reach
ed home on Saturday evening he found a
note from his wife Mary, eighteen years
old, telling him she had left him and her
baby, and asked him not to pursue her,
for, she said, she could not help going
away. Her companion in flight was be-
lieved to be julius Burke, a canvasser, who
had formed her acquaintance while he was
soliciting orders for crayon portraits.
Detective Love traced the couple to
Camden and arrested them. They were
brought back to Bridgeton, and yesterday
afternoon were arraigned before Mayor
Applegate.
Mrs Bowen said at the hearing that
Burke had exercised hypnotic influence
over her that she was unable to resist,
and that at his command she had deserted
husband and baby. Mayor Applegate was
impressed with the truth of her story,
therefore the charge involving the guilt OF
both man and woman was withdrawn, and
she was discharged from custody. Burke,
however. was charged with felonious as
sault and held to await the action OF the
grand jury.

STABBED BY A CHILD.
Nine-Hear-Old Lad Assaults a Play
mate.


New York, June East side boys play
ed the battle OF San Juan Hill in deadly
earnest last night. and Alexander Phillips,
fourteen years old, whose home is at No.
41S East Twenty second Street, lies dying
in Bellevue Hospital of a stab wound in
the back.
The boy who stabbed him is Charles
Hughes, nine years old. He lives in the
same tenement with his victim. Hughes
was arrested, taken to the Twenty second
Street police station, and from there turn
ed over to the Gerry Society.
The storming of San Juan Hill is IA
vorite game on the east side this summer.
The boys divide into two armies-Ameri-
can and Spanish-and with any heap of
sand and paving stones to represent the
Spanish position in front of Santiago, fight
mock battles.
AT o'clock last evening such an en-
gagement was raging. A mortar box rep
resented the Spanish blockhouse on the
hill.
Alexander Phillips, English, only eight
OeI months in this country, was in COM
mand of the American forces. Hughes,
Irish, was the leader of the Spaniards.
There had been. il is said. bad blood be-
tween Phillips and Hughes. They had a
fight week ago in which Phillips curfed
Hughes.
With Phillips at their head. the Ameri-
can forces had captured the hill. Hughes
ran ahead of the rest, and when he reach
ed the top he found Phillips standing be-
hind the mortar-bo fort. Hughes came
up behind him and, it is alleged, plunged
q knife into Phillips back.
Phillips was taken to Bellevue Hospital.

The New Girl.

From the Cleveland Plain Deaer)
little party of Cleveland young people
went out for a car ride and stroll last
Sunday. There were three lively girls
two young men. and young matron. They
rode out nearly to Euclid and then clam
bered the hill in the direction of the
woods. Presently they found themselves
in a field with fence barring the way. 1t
was not a high fence; perhaps little more
than four feet to the top of the rail. but
1t was an awkward fence to climb.
Dear me-" said the matron, I'VE will
have to go round"
''Oh, l don't know" cried one of the
young men. This sort Of thing certainly
saves time"
He started back a little, took a swift
run, and leaped the fence, his bootheels
clicking against the rail as he went over
Who follows?" he cried with a merry
laugh.
The other young man shook his head
He wasn't jumper.
Wait for me-" said one of the girls.
She walked back a few feet. held her BIZ
cycle skirt spread out a little and then,
with long strides. ran toward the fence
As she reached it she jumped and cleared
1t beautifully, her feet drawn we'll up and
her skirt sweeping across the top rail-
Well" cried the jumping youth. "you
did that better than l could.'
Very likely" said the girl. 81 hold the
Wellesley record for high jumping"
And it really made both the young men
feel rather small.

1t Gave Him Fits.

From the Detroit Free Press)
One Of Detroit's citizens who has plenty
OF this worlds goods and likes to cut
Just as wide swath as he can while going
through the world, spends a part of every
summer up in the northern Michigan viii
lage where his wife used to live. He
dazzles the eyes of the natives with his
magnifcence and is a big-voiced oracle
on every subject, receiving attention from
the townspeople.
Last summer. while up there. he had a
suit OF clothes badly damaged in a swamp
ne SHY attempted to cross, and or
dereD q new outfit from the village tailor.
The citizen found cloth to his liking, gave
the tailor measurements as taken by a
Detroit artist in this line, went over FASH
ion. plates with him. and was SO generally
fussy over the whole affair that every
man. woman. and child in the place knew
that the Detroiter was having a mighty
particular piece of work done by the local
knight of the goose
The suit completed was so tight that the
wearer couldn't wink without parting a
seam. He hurried to the tailor's with
blood in his eye. and talked so loud that
he soon had half the town for an audi
ence. He demanded damages that were in
dignantly refused. Then he fumed the
more ferociously and wound I'D BY an
nouncing that he would commence suit at
once.
Go ahead" shouted the angry tailor
"Sue away. You give me them Detroit
measurements, didn't you?" 49,
''Of course did. but you're too much OF
q farmer to understand"
Fire away" whooped the tailor "All
I'm achin' for Is to get you Into court i
kin bring q hundred witnesses to prove
that you're burned sight bigger man up
here than you ever was in Detroit"
There was no lawsuit. and the citizen
has been in . comparatively suppressed
state ever since. .:ss-.x,.

DANGER in SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

It's Excessive Use.
Common soda is all right in its place and
indispensable in the kitchen and for cook
ing and washing purposes, but 1t was never
intended as a medicine. and people who
use it as such will some day. regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit
which thousands Of people practice and
one which is fraught with danger; more
over the soda only gives temporary relief
and in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to
the walls Of the stomach and bowels and
cases are on record where 1t has accumu-
lated in the intestines, causing death by
Inflammation or peritonitis.
DR.. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia) an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets
are large 20-grain lozenges, very pleasant
to taste and contain the natural acids. pep
tones and digestive elements essential to
good digestion, and when taken after meals
they digest the food perfectly and promptly
before 1t has time to ferment sour and
poison the blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably uses
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of
stomach arrangements and finds them a
certain cure not only for sour stomach, but
by promptly digesting the food they create
flesh and strengthen the action of the heart
and liver. They are not cathartic, but
intended only for stomach diseases and
weakness and will be found reliable in all
stomach troubles except cancer of the
stomach. All druggists sell Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at 80 cents per package.

yard, where May fell to the ground over
come. Mr.. Pulliam. an uncle, was attract
ed by the screams of the children and hur-
ried to the side of his niece. All of the
child's clothes were burned of and there
was not a particle of skin on the body that
had not been roasted.
DR.. W. F. Cooper was called and hurried
to the home and rendered what assistance
he could. He says the girl was roasted
