Woman yvitha a Queer story.

New York. May s1.-Caroline Reeves,
whom the police of Newark found
wandering aimlessly around the sta
ltion of the New Jersey Central railroad
on Tuesday night and sent to the city
hospital! was discharged from thai liz
stitution yesterday and sent to her
home in Brooklyn. where she said she
lived with her husband. the captain of
a tugboat.
Mrs. Reeves, as she called herself,
had startled the police by declaring
that she was married to her brother,
William Edward Reeves. She told
them she had been married to him, be-
ilieving him to be another man. Later,
however. she said this story was un-
true. and that she was crazef by the
hypnotic influence OF her husband,
whose name She refused to reveal
II am afraid OF my husband" she
said. ,s"He has such strange inau-
ence over me am forced to do what
ever he says and to believe whatever
he tells me. He just makes few
passes across my face with his hands
and It seems as If I saw all sort Of
visions.
This treatment has so wrecked my
health that am no longer responsible
for what do, and I know that If L go
back to him will be dead in few

stratum of bones about one foot in
thickness and perhaps forty feet in

small part OF the task that confronts
the officials of the census bureau. The
field work now commencing, which
will involve the work OF all the enume-s
rators and special agents, consisting of
nearly $1,000 men, probably will not be.
finished until September.
When the returns are made from this

be hurried thru so as to obtain it by

follow, and this alone will be work

1t is hoped to finish the principal part
of the census work within the next two
years. That done, the special subjects
connected with the Industrial and So

and disposed OF as fast as possible. A

eight feet long and two feet thick. fell
beside the foundation stone. while the
heavy capstone landed in dooryard

Surrounding this mOnolith was an
