TO rREAsURYBUILD1NG
Crowded Condition Of the DEPART

tect Taylor is drafting plans for an adj
iitional story for the building in which
Uncle Sans immense store of gold.
silver and greenbacks is kept. which, if
carried out, will furnish enough room
for that department for years to come.
The crowded condition of the building
interferes more and more each year
with the work Of the department and
steps will have to be taken almost inn
mediately for charging the building.
Millions Of pension, papers, to say
nothing Of other documents that are
fled in the treasury. are constantly be-
ing increased, and one floor of the
building is entirely taken up by them.
Mr.. Taylor's plans do not contemplate
anything farther than an addition Of
. fifth floor to the building. The treas
ury building is perhaps the finest type
of Roman architecture in this country
and Mr.. Taylor's plans will not mar the
harmony Of the structure.
The idea is to have the new story st
back ten or twelve feet from the line
Of the building, with q balustrade
around the outside. The addition would
be placed on the east and west sides of
the treasury. leaving the south and
north ends as at present. The east and
west additions would be connected.

HYPNOTISTS IN JAIL:
Numerous Crimes in Paris Charged
:, to Two s'Svengalis."
Saia to Have Compelled Servant
-. Girls by Hypnotie Suggestion
- to Steal for Then-Experl.
mental Tests Made.

PEA curious case will shortly come BE-
fore the Paris courts. Two men, each
endowed with peculiarly powerful
hypnotic influence, are charged with q
number of offenses, principally thefts
and crimes against morals. Some WON.
EN- who find themselves implicated will
testify that the criminals took advan-
tage Of their disposition to fall under
the influence of mes neric suggestion.
The authorities may conduct the
hearing partly behind closed doors.
Nevertheless quite a series of strange
misdeeds will be ventilated publicly.
Thus, four servant girls arrested at
various times for thefts are now be-
lieved to have acted irresponsibly, hav-
ing carried the property out to the men
in the dead of night, according to or
ders given while the servants were in q
hypnotic state, and which they obeyed
irresistibly at the appointed hour sew
eial days afterv ard.
1t is rumored that these four serv-
ants were taken from the penitentiary
and placed in the hands of mental spe-
cialists, who conducted conclusive en-
periments showing that all four could
be made irresponsibly criminal.
The details Of these experiments
were refused. but it is learned that to
one girl. aged %, it was suggested tina,
she stab herself when - hours hat
elapsed. Then she was awakened. Al
the appointed time she suddenly
dropped her occupation, seized n knife
placed purposely near, and stabbed
herself vigorously in the direction OF
her heart.
Had not the weapon been a perfec,
working stage knife, the blade runnin.
into the handle, the maid would Ger
tainly have committed self-murder ir
obedience to another persons will.

In the ease Of Helen Murphy, the ending
was happy one. She started on the road
to consumption after catching cold at q re-

came incurable, Peruna was resorted to and
her life was saved.
It is pity that everyone else in this wide
land could not know OF this very effective
remedy in such cases. The news is spread

cases.
Peruna cures acute catarrh and chronic

of the stomach. Wherever catarrh may
