NEW THING IN HYPNoT1sM.
Counter-sug.estion Ii now Onered
as Preventive of Certain
Grimes.

To check the spread Of crime through
hypnotic suggestion means has been
discovered by Jules Liegeois, French
psychologist of the well-known "Nan-
cy school, who declares that in "coun-
ter suggestion" the most perfect pro-
lection is found. Liegeois, according
to report, has carried on experiments
for many years in company with 9TH
er scientists at the clinic, where are
treated all forms of nervous disease.
He discovered in the course of his
Investigations that even the best sort
of hypnotic subject could be pre-
vented from taking criminal sugges-
lions by forbidding it while the per-
son was in hypnotic state. In spite
of every effort. persons ordinarily
hypnotized with the greatest ease
could not be hypnotized at all while
under the first influence. and nothing
could be done with them until they
had been released from the first hyp-
motto state by the same person who
put them into it.
This discovery is .of great impor-
tance. Many crimes and offenses have
been traced to hypnotic influences.
1t has been known for years that
weak and nervous persons who are
easily affected by the magnetic pow
er of others will do whatever they
have been told to do while in hyp-
motto sleep, even though it was to
commit crime. Liegeois refers to
several cases of which he knew per-
sonally. One subject, woman, was
compelled to poison her husband and
then commit suicide. Four other per-
sons killed themselves and woman
was driven into an unhappy marriage
by the hypnotic command of wicked
persons. Liegeois says that all per-
sons should know exactly to what ex-
tent they are subject to hypnotism
and that if they are easily Influenced
by this dangerous power they should
without hesitation be put in safety
by counter suggestion SO that no.
body can hypnotic them or compel
them to obey any hypnotic sugges-
tions. This treatment should be gone
through with at least once or twice q
year in order that the effect may not
wear off.
Of course there is danger here that
the nervous system of the person liv-
ing in this state Of hypnotism might
be seriously affected by the restraint
under which they would be held. The
magnetic nerve force Of hypnotism is
too tremendous to be lightly used,
even to prevent the evil power of the
will over weak persons.
Diseases of the viii, greatly weak
ening the power of resistance in the
afflicted, make them easy victims of
all sorts of scoundrels and if these
sufferers can be strengthened, as
Liegeois says is possible, by hypnotic
suggestion, discovery Of incalculable
benefit has been made. Crime, dis
ease. suffering and death are SO large
" the result of defective nerve force
and will power that any light on the
treatment of nerve weakness is a
great blessing. Prevention through
hypnotic suggestion might lead to
actual frightening Of life and renewal
of youth.

The Prince Decliped.

When the prince Of Wales was about to
visit Niagara Falls Blondin had rival,
one Farini, who was a character. He is
sued an advertisement urging that the
prince make his initial entrance to the
great and glorious United States in .
striking manner. Accordingly he proposed
barrow over tight rope across the gorge
to the United States-an entrance that
would be unparalleled! Then the notice
added: "Should any accident happen to

A Woman known By Her Pantry.
The ability of housekeeper is
never better shown than when her
pantry and closets are opened for in
spection. When the household reins
are in the hands of a practical, clear
headed woman, one glance along the
shelves of either closet or pantry
will give definite idea of the gen.
eral management. There will be a
place for everything, and everything
will be in its proper place. There will
be no overcrowding, but room to take
out each article and return it with
out disturbing anything else. The ar
ticles most in use will be in the po-
sition most convenient for handling.

AS a result of the changeable eli
mate, catarrh has become one Of the
most prevalent and universal diseases
known to man.. Nearly one-third Of
the people Of the United States are
afflicted with catarrh in some of its
many phases and stages. Add to this
the fact that catarrh rapidly tends to
become fixed or chronic, also the fur
ther fact that it is capable of producing
a great many other diseases, and we
begin to realize the true nature of this
dread disease.
So formidable has catarrh become
that in every city or town Of any size
numerous doctors are to be found who
make the treatment of catarrh spe:
cialty. OF course great deal of good
is accomplished in this way, but as
the people can avail themselves of this
treatment because of the great expense
necessarily attached to it.

Philadelphia, May .2S.-The 18th
Presbyterian general assembly was
dissolved at 6:15 o'clock tonight by
Moderator Minton, after having been
in session for nearly two weeks, dur
ing which time many matters of the
utmost Importance to the church
were considered. Chief among these
was the question regarding the revis-
ion OF the confession of faith.
After a discussion continuing nearly
four days this momentuous SUBJECT
was referred to a special committee
of IL members, who will make recon-
mendations as to the name in which
the creed shall be revised and present
them to the next general assembly,
which meets in New York.
Today, for the first time since the
assembly convened, the equanamity
of the. commissioners was disturbed
by the introduction of personalities.
The trouble occurred during the dis
cussion on the craftsmanship Of the
revision committee. Rev. ]. E. Moi
fatt suggested a change in the minutes
of yesterdays session so the records
would show that a new committee had
been appointed to revise the creed,

CUBANS AGREE TO PLATT
AMENDMENT.
RADICALS FIGHT HARD.
But Conservatives Carry the
Day by a Majority
of One.

Havana, May 28.-The Plat amend
ment was accepted by the Cuban con.
stitutional convention today by a vote
of Is to IA.
The actual vote was on accepting
the majority report of the committee
on relations, which embodied the
amendment with explanations of GER
tain clauses. The radicals made a
hard fight at the last moment, and
Seniors Portuondo. Gomez and Ia
mayo bitterly a%rraigned the %conserva-
tives. Senior Tamayo was aprticularly
vindictive and declared that every
body who voted in favor of the Platt
amednment vas a traitor to his
country.
The convention compelled him to re-
tract this statement. On several oc-
casions personal encounters seemed
imminent.
Senior Gomez spoke for more than
an hour and his speech undoubtedly
won over Seniors Castro, Robau and
Manduley. He appealed to the patri-
otism of the delegates and rehearsed
the long fight for independence, de-
nouncing as perjurors all who favored
the Plat amendment on the ground
that they had sworn to draw up a
constitution for an independent re-
public.
Several conservatives rose and
asked Senior Gomez to retract, but he
absolutely refused.

Regards Decision as Headlong Fall in
Moral Scale. "
London, May 2S.-The Daily News,
which comments upon the decision Of
the United States supreme court in
the insular cases as perhaps the most
momentous which this tribunal was
ever called upon to make" regards
them as curious issue to 12O years
Of triumphal democracy" and says:
ut is not progress but retrogression:
not advancement of humanity, but
that disheartening product of our
times, militarism of democracy. We
venture to think that the trainers of
the United States constitution would
have laughed at the possibility of
such a development as incredible. The
decisions have extricated President
Mckinley from an uncommonly awk-
ward position. but it is a lamentably
headlong fall in the moral scale and
turning of the back on all that has
been the special glory and distinction
of the United States, in order to join
the barbaric scramble for the waste
places of the EARTH"

OPINION OF SENATOR LODGE

Washington, May 2S.-Interest in
the supreme court decisions centered
at the war department today and eff
forts were made to ascertain the inten-
ton of the department regarding the
Philippines, as they are under the de-
partment's control. Secretary Root
would express no opinion, saying that
he had not yet the full text of the de-
cision before him, and that it would
require careful consideration before
the entire import of these opinions
could be ascertained, with the view of
governing future action.
Several senators and representa-
tives called on the secretary today
and discussed the situation with him,
giving their views and interpretations
of the opinions rendered yesterday,
and the bearing they would have in the
future government of the Philippines.
Among these was Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts,, chairman of the Phil
ippines committee of the senate. He
expressed the opinion that the decis-
ions of the court would make Philip
pine legislation absolutely necessary
at the coming session of congress. He
also was clearly Of the opinion that
under the Spooner law the president
had absolute power to provide for
revenue, both customs and internal,
for the Philippine islands, in the gen.
eral scheme for the Philippine govern
ment. Another suggestion was made
by senators, previous to the time
when it was supposed that the
decision in the Philippine case
would be rendered by the court similar
to the DeLima case in Porto Rico,
was that export duty on goods coming
from the Philippines to the United
States could be levied in order to pre-
vent free trade from the islands to
the United States. Any such necessi-
ty will be obviated, however, by the
determination of the treasury depart
ment to continue to collect Dingley
rates IN Philippines products and
goods coming from the islands.

CRITICISMS
Bishop McLaren Defends His Ac-
tons.

Chicago, May 2S.-'Tt is a shameful
thing that the citizens of Chicago
have permitted so many corrupt men
to get into places of power. The for
mer are more guilty than the latter,
because a thief is less a thief than he
who can stop thieving and who will
not. 1t is shameful, because in both
cases the motive is the same-greed."
Bishop w. McLaren made this state
ment today at the Gath annual con-
vention of the Episcopal diocese of
Chicago, after he mad explained the
charges and criticisms of some peo-
pie that he had devoted more of his
time to ecclesiastical matters than to
civic affairs. He said if he had been
guided by a desire to shine as a citi-
zen he might have adopted another
policy, but as he had not, he had TO
perform to the best of his ability the
duties of bishop of the diocese.

PORTO RI.ANs DISAPPOINTED.
Expected Entirely Different Decision
From Supreme Court.

San Juan, Porto Rico. May 2S.-The
first report of the supreme courts de-
cision in the DeLima case reachedhere
last night, which was interpreted as
deciding the taxation of imports from
Porto Rico to the United states Is
per cent of the Dingley duties to be
unconstitutional, was received with
great satisfaction. Today when the
full report in the DeLima ces was
published there was evidenced a gen
eral feeling of disappointment and
complaint among Porto Rican mer-
chants, who had hoped that the courts
decision would give them a years free
trade. .
Porto Ricans are reluctant to be-
lieve that today's full report is true.
The consensus of opinion on the mat
ter seems to be that the Porto Rican
legislature should be convened in ex-
ira session to declare Porto Rico SELF
supporting without collection of GUS
toms on imports between Porto Rico
and the United States.
BY the provisions of Section 3 of
the Foraker bill, free trade becomes
operative whenever the Porto Rican
legislature passes a resolution that
an adequate system of insular taxa
tion has been put into operation, and

Of this resolution is to proclaim free
trade for Porto Rico. If the plan now

FOR
HIS PEOPLE
B0OKER WASHINGTON TO ALA
BAMA CONVENTION.
SENATOR MORGAN'S PLAN
Asks Constitutional Amendment
Limiting Office Holding to
White Men Only.
SENATOR M0RGAN'S PLAN

montgomery, Ala, May 2S.-BOOker
T. Washington, in behalf of his race,
today presented an address to the con-
stitutional convention appealing for
conservative action. The add. ess re-
minds the convention that the ne
groes came here against their will,
but have been benefited, trained and
Christianized. They did their duty in
the civil war and in the Spanish war.
They have ceased for 20 years to be
an offensive element in politics. Lead
ing members of the ace have persis-
tently urged the negro to learn to
trust the white man. For these men
this is crucial. The negro pays some
taxes. He pays much more indirectly
through his labor. He is in the main
a producer of wealth and generally
contented and law abiding. Already
the emigration agent and exodus asso-
Citations are at work on the negroes
fears that his citizenship and schools
will both be taken away. The rela-
lions are now reasonably satisfactory.
Anything that will unsettle the negro,
now when he is settling down to
thrift and common sense, would be
an injury to both races. The address
pleads that ali incentive for right and
useful living be not withdrawn from
the young negroes. It concludes as
follows:
"Any law which will merely change
the name and form of fraud or can
be interpreted as meaning n thing
when applied to one race and some
thing else when applied to another
will not, in Jul opinion, improve our
present condition, but unsettle the
thrift Of u people and decrease the
wealth and prosperity of Alabama"
The leading feature OF the suffrage
clause offered today by Ex-Governor
Jones is that which denies the right
to vote to "any person who shall here
after be guilty and convicted of selling
his own vote or buying or bartering
the vote Of another in any legal cleo
ton OF in any primary, caucus, con-
vention, for the purpose Of nominal
ing persons for public Office or
to elect delegates to any primary or
convention, Or who shall make or aid
in making any false count, certificates
or returns as to the result of such
election, primary, caucus or conven-
ton, or who shall hereafter carry
concealed weapons and be convicted
thereof"
Senator John T. Morgan has pre-
pared for the consideration of the con-
stitutional convention an address de-
signed to support his suffrage clause.
Senator Morgan's plan is simple. No
body but a white man shall hold Of
flee. A court of three registrars is
provided for each county and these
courts shall have absolute power to
determine the qualifications of every
voter, save that appeal from their de-
cision lies in the circuit courts.
The real feature of the plan is in
the provision that only white men
shall hold Office. The registrar plan
is similar to that in Mississippi, ex-
cept that the courts of registrars have
much wider discretion.
