CHICAGO, June Mrs. Anna F.
Meyers, who was a member of the
board Of lady managers of the Worlds
Fair, was before Police Justice Martin
on a charge of shoplifting. She plead
ed that she was under the influence of
drugs. After hearing her story, the
justice said:
Madam. / believe you when you as
sert that YOU knew nothing of the
theft of these articles; / believe you
when you say your mind is a blank
under the influence of drugs, but it is
an act of charity to put you in re-
straint; therefore l fine you $25, and in
lieu OF non-payment sentence you to
fifty days in the House of Correction
Mrs. Meyers was 40 years of age when
eight years ago her State-West Vir-
gln1a-named her as it's representative
on the board. of lady managers of the
Fair. Educated, refined and of pleas
Ing address, she was popular with the
women who followed the leadership of
Mrs. Potter Palmer. She did not take
a prominent part in the debates, but
she was a noticeable figure at the So
cial functions. She was among the en-
tertainers of the foreign officials, and
was we'll known to the national COM
mission. There was not a breath
against her department or her morals.
One cold day In December, 1895, two
years after the close Of the exposi-
ton, a
Policeman Brought a Woman
into the Harrison street police station
Oh a charge Of shoplifting. She ap-
peared dazed and would lot give her
name. When arraigned the next day
she said she knew nothing of the shop
lifting incident and added:
Il am Mrs. Anna F. Meyers. former
member of the lady managers Of the
fair"
She said that soon after the close of
the exposition she became i'll and NOR
phine was prescribed by her physician.
She was i'll for so many months that
an appetite for morphine grew upon
her and friends had to keep her in re-
straint.
She was not prosecuted and her
friends took her in charge. But their
efforts to relieve her from the drugs
mastery failed, and a year later she
was again under arrest for theft. 1t
was then discovered that she had been
addicted to cocaine, chloral and whisky
in addition to morphine. Again her
friends interceded and she was re-
leased.
In 1897 she was again arrested, and
this time was sentenced to the House
of Correction for theft. Her friends
were now discouraged, and, deprived
of their restraining influence, she went
the gamut of degradation and eventual
ly became a habitue of Chinese opium
dens and vile saloons.
One night last winter she was arrest
ed on the old charge Of theft, and dur
ing a week in the police station, away
from drugs, she became partly sane.
She asked to be sentenced for three
months and her request was granted.
Two weeks ago she was released and
instantly returned to the drug habit.

IMAGINATION AND DISEASE.
Wrong Letter from Doctor Make
Young Man Ill.

NTOns from
Young Man Ill.
In "A Journalists Notebook"
Frank F. Moore tells an amusing and
significant story of the influence OF
imagination upon health. A young
civil servant in India, feeling tagged
from the excessive heat and from long
hours of work. consulted the best doc
tor within reach. The doctor looked
him over, sounded his heart and lungs,
and then said gravely: Il will write
you tomorrow. The next day the
young man received letter telling him
that his left lung was gone and his
heart seriously affected, and advising
him to lose no time in adjusting his
business affairs "Of course you may
live for weeks, the letter said, but
you had best not leave important mat
tiers undecided" Naturally the young
official was dismayed by so dark a
prognosis-nothing less than a death
warrant. Within twenty -four hours
he was having difficulty with his res
piration, and was seized with an acute
pain in the region of his heart. He
took TO his bed with the feeling that
he should never arise from it, During
the night he became so much worse
that his servant sent for the doctor.

he glanced at it. This was meant fol-
