LIES BATTLE TOO HARD.
Grind of Hou>e DrudEery Too Much
for Mrs. ErdItng.

New York. May 19-When Emil Erdling.
after a hard days work. reached his home
No. 339 East Ninety seventh Street. las;
evening. he was greeted on the sidewalk
by his five little children. who We're wait
ing for him. II was their custom 10 stop
their play about 6 o'clock so that they could
all go upstairs together to their mother.
With the little ones trailing behind him
Erdling entered the room that served as
dining-room and kitchen. Invariably trey
found the evening meal spread upon the
table ready for them. and the tired mother
and wife smiiingly awaiting their arrival.
Last evening when father and children
romped into the room there was no supper
on the table. Instead OF the smiling o.
man to meet them they found her lying
huddled In a corner on the floor. Beside
her was an ounce bottle of carbOlic acid
nearly empty.
Neighbors heard the cries of father and
children and called an ambulance. The
surgeon. DR.. Babcock, said the woman had
been dead some time.
Erdling said he could not understand
why his wife killed herself. They had
never quarreled, and she was in fairly
good health.
The women of the house said it was the
ceaseless grind of housework. of caring for
the little children and trying to make both
ends meet.
Mrs Erdling was thirty-eight years old
and she was an Austrian by birth. Her
husband is secretary of the German Paint
ers' Union.

STRANGE RECOVERY OF MIND.
An Intellect Ruined During the Mex

An Intellect Ruined During the Mex
lean War Restored.
Toledo, Ohio, May 19.-Probably one o.
the most remarkable cases of a recovered
intellect on record is that of Matthias Stein.
gruber, who is living with his grand.
nephew. Percy W. Holcomb. on farm IL
jackson township. near Fostoria.
Mr. Steingruber fought in the Mexican
war as a member OF a cavalry regiment
In charge at the battle Of Resaca de Il
Palma his horse stumbled and fell, throw
ing him on the ground and paralyizing hi:
SPINE When taken to the hospital he wa:
able to tell everything that took place W
to the time he was hurt, but after that
everything was blank.
Since that time his mind has been cloud
ed. Ee has always insisted that he was
only twenty and was going to vote fol
Taylor for President.
The other day he was struck on the head
by a piece Of wood from a buzzsaw and los
consciousness. When he revived peculiar
expression was noticed on his face as il
he had Just awakened from a long sleep
and he has since recovered his lost senses.
When he went to Fostoria today the first
question he asked was: What are all those
wires up on the poles for?" He was great
ly astonished at the electric cars, and could
not find words to express his wonder when
he saw a girl on a bicycle go by him. AS
he climbed into wagon to go home he
remarked: well, l guess that the world
has got SO far ahead OF me that will never
catch UP with 1t.

SURPLUS OF GOLD
IN THE TREASURY
President Obliged to Take His
Pay in Yellow Metal.
Almost Famine in the Supply Of
Paper Money.
1t I'm Exchange for the
Heavy Coin.

Gold predominates in the Treasury of the
United States. and the oyersupply is q
matter Of some Inconvenience to the Of
ficials. Notwithstanding the fact that ali
payments of salaries to employees OF the
Government for several months past have
been made in the yellow metal, 1t con-
tinues to pour into the Treasury faster
than 1t can be returned to circulation.
The gold surplus was reduced somewhat
by the payment to Spain of $40, ,00e, 600 in
the yellow metal for the indemnity in the
transaction involving the transfer Of the
Philippines. but even after this diminution
in the amount On hand, there remained in
the Treasury vaults great quantities. which
the officials would like to put into general
circulation.
There Is now in the Treasury about S223, :
000, 900 in gold. The legal gold reserve is
500, Geo, ,000. and today the Treasury De-
partment has sl23, ,0O0 600 above this re-
serve, with the surplus. increasing rapidly.
Speaking of the matter today. Assistant
Secretary Vanderlip said that payments to
employees in gold began at least four
months ago. and were inaugurated because
the Treasury had put into circulation all
the paper il could spare.
Such is the condition produced by this
glut of gold in the Treasury that the dis
bursting officers refuse TO give paper money
across the counter in exchange for gold,
and shopkeepers and others with whom
Government employees deal are protesting
vainly against the shower OF gold which
comes to them in trade.
There is a prospective famine in paper
morey at the National Capital. and even
the President of the United States has to
take a shining heap OF the largest gold
coins from the Treasury every month.

~ipiining u Pupil.

Derby. Conn, May 19.-John Trip, the

Miss Comery is teacher in room No. /

trouble than all the other pupils, and at
times was utterly unmanageable. She tried
in vain TO break him of the habit OF whis-
pering. friend advised her to try put
ting cayenne pepper in his mouth, and yes
terday she took quantity to school.
Several warnings to Tripp went unheed-
ed. and Miss Comery called him to her
desk. He opened his mouth wide for the
pepper, and more of it went in than Miss
low and was seized with a severe fit of
coughing. He was taken TO his home. and
the physician who was called found him
in convulsions. Acute gastritis and high
fever set in. the boys temperature today
being 10i.
Miss Comery is nearly distracted with
grief over her mistake. She says she had
no idea that the pepper would do any more
harm than 10 burn the boys tongue lit
tie. She is young and attractive a favor
lite with her pupils and was regarded as a
thoroughly competent teacher.
There is much Indignation over her act.
but her many friends sympathize deeply
with her and assert that she is more TO be
pitied than blamed. II is said unofficially
that the board of education will ask for
her resignation at its meeting tomorrow

ALLEGED HYPNoT1sM CURES.
Cigarette Smoking. kIeptOmauia
and Other Evils Conquered.

and Other Evils Conquered.
New York. May l9.-Hypnotism as q
cure for slavery to cigarettes and to the
habit of appropriating other peoples prop
erty has been given a startling demonstra-
tion by its foremost practitioner in this
country, and the previously supposed pos
sibilities of this mysterious agent are now
enlarged to hitherto unsuspected extent.
Prof. John d. Quackenbos, of Columbia
University, one Of the most distinguished
or living psychologists and man who has
devoted large part of his life TO scien-
tific study of hypnotism presented this ex-
position TO the members of the society
known as the Psychic Study Club and
their friends in the form of typical Illus
trations taken from his case-book of Ger
tain vices and moral defects. with an out
line OF treatment he pursued and the re-
suits he obtained.
These cases included excessive cigarette
smoking. hopeless dishonesty. kleptoma-
MIA. and dangerous delusions and the pro-
fessor's conclusion that hypnotism is the
greatest of moral forces was freely ac-
cepted by his audience.
Here are some of his reported cures:
John OBrien. aged twenty. an immod-
crate cigarette smoker for eight years,
hypnotized March 20 and April .. reported
cured a week later.
Andrew X. aged eighteen. a nervous
and physical wreck, treated April Is and
20. and the idea implanted that his al ow-
ance shortened. May reported cured.
W. c. Aged, seventeen. had been a thief
for five years. but reported the desire to
steal things gone week after treatment.

though the majority Of the objects sold
brought only moderate prices. The high
est price was paid for a beautifully carved
Indian cabinet which brought $500.
Ready purchasers were found for the
guns used by the magician in his shooting
tricks and for musical birds and collec-
tions of queer canes and whips. Scores of
japanese swords, vases. and bronzes sold
were said to have been presented to Herr
mann by the Emperor of Japan. Some of
the chairs in the auction room giving way
beneath the weight of excited and con-
testing bidders added to the interest of
the occasion.
Gold and diamond watches, gold mount
ed duelling pistols, and other treasures,
said to be the gifts of "the crowned heads
