layishng attention on some one other than his or her lawful partner. The funny thing about such cases is that the parties invariably believe everything the anonymous writer states.
 In addition to cases of mistaken ident- ity and anonymous letter writers, we are beginning to have in the American cities class which, common enough In London Paris Rome. Berlin and vienna. has been rare in the cities of the United States until quite recent years, and who give police officials and detectives great deal of trouble. There are people who have such mania for notoriety that they will resort to any means to get them- selves before the public.
 In Paris, after every great catastro- phe. crime, etc, the French police al ways look for some act on the part oi such persons, whose imagination has been worked up by reading the newspapers. For example, man will rush into the concierge and relate to the sergeant or corporal of gendarnes. very sensational narrative of how he was set upon in an alley by thieves or murderers. and of the narrow escape he had. In proof of all that he has stated he will show the knlte wounds and cuts on his body and limbs sometimes of q very serious character. Investigation follows, and the fact de- velops that no such occurrence as the one described by this man ever took place; that he made the story uT out ot whole cloth and that. as for his wounds
  craving for notoriety, for seeing his name in print being so strong that he is will ling to endanger his life.
 After every great murder or burglary in the French capital there are always from four to five persons who confess to having committed the deed, so that in criminal business a confession is not al ways to be depended upon. We have had, and are having cases of this sort in Washington. although they are rather now and would prove d puzzle to the oil line detective Of fifty years ago. Just after the Mrs. Dennis assault a girl ere at sd deal of trouble ana work for the police by story she told of having been set upon by some men and half killed in one of the parks. She afterward con- fessed that the story was false. and tn 1t she had told ie because she was anxious for notoriety. She said also that her course ir the matter had been suggested by reading the accounts of the assault on Mrs. Dennis in the papers.

his identity until you have him fairly cornercd and then he will either give in and confess or else have nothing further to say, but l noticed that such was not the case with Hurley, who was more eln- phatic in his denials the more we found marks and scars that correspond d with those in the description of Hurley. Well to make long story short. | took him to one of the Norfolk detention stations made him strip perfectly nude ana upon examination found that all of the forty distinguishing marks laid down in the description of Hurley were on his person To my mind it was one of the most com plete and thorough identifications l had ever seen made.
 Yet. while all this was in progress he continued to make the most emphatic denials, that finally aggravated me to such an ctXcnt that l asked him what good he found in lying when had proved his identity. Well. 1 had just finished the examination and started to ring for a messenger boy to send telegram to New York stating that l had captured Hurley. when who should enter put messenger boy who handed me a message from New York The contents Of thlS message nearly staggered me. It said:
 Hurley arrested at Yonkers and now in jail. Thanks for your efforts
 Well. of course I turned my man, Jeff Hawley loose, and he left. giving me the benefit of all manner of l-told-you SO advice reminding me that l should have taken his word al the start. 1t was the most remarkable case of a man hay ing d double that l ever saw.
 Even his name was like that of Hur- lev. and when l first arrested him and he told me his name was Hawley l took it for granted that this was simply an alias. which, like all those of the crim- inal class. is generally something like their real name, and when 1 found that he had every mark given in the descrip- tiOn of Hurley. was so thoroughly convinced that he was the right man that even after receiving the telegram to the effect that the right party had been captured I hesitated about releasing him.
 This fellow Harley was gambler and poker sharp. but had no criminal record. The two are still living, and who knows but what other police officials and de- tectives will some day fall Into the same error that committed. when Hurley finishes the term he is now serving. Bear ing the resemblance that he does to Hur- ley. Hawley ought to lead respectable life for he is liable to he picked up for Hurley every time detective sets out to look after the latter.

remarkable in this you say. No, or course not. It wouldn't be to you or any other attractive girl, but kindly consider that this happened in the midst of col ony of old maids, all of whom were obliged to positively labor over man to get him to profess any admiration for them, and many of whom indeed had never had as much as one proposal Tn their forlorn lives. You can readily see how the fact that a girl could bring man to the point in three weeks would appear to them unnatural not to say uncanny. Still they said nothing; the girl was engaged. But the young couple found in the course of the following winter that they were not, after all, suited to each other. and the next summer the girl had the innocence to return to the same sum- mer resort. Do you suppose the story was allowed to die? Not bit of 1t. To this day she Is cited with scorn as the girl who had man to propose to her after only having known her three weeks.
 Now, when women turn upon and rend each other like hungry wolves why will they at the same time bewail the unfor- tunate and unprotected condition of their sex in this wicked world and the fact [ at everything is against them? If wo- men stood up for each other, their con- dition would be more improved than all the women's rights clubs in the world could make it. It isn't the right to vote women want: it is union and consequent ly charity among themselves. Just think that over the next time you want to blackbaH a girl without giving her chance. Think how not only you are hurting the girl. but running the cause of women in general as well.

founce headed by a slightly irregular ar rangement of pique bands. There is a blue ribbon sash with long narrow ends.
 The hat is worth mentioning because 1t is one of the most popular novelties of the summer. It is a Dolly Warden shape of white linen trimmed with a scarf of white china silk embroidered with blue dots. The blue used on this costume is not the pale tint. but rather a deep shade of pastel blue.
 notice one thing-that the tulle TO- sette at the back of the neck is not so popular or so indispensable as it has been and that some very handsome gowns are made without any bow or tulle TO- sette whatever. This is far more hccOm- ing to girls who have short plump necks. a disastrous thing nowadays, when fash ion requires long slender necks as well as waists

HYPNoTIsM AND MORAL CURES
Result of Experiments in An Insane
 Asylum.
London Hospital 1

London Hospital.
 In lecture delivered before King s College Medical Society Dr. Milne Bram- well gave an interesting sketch of the subject of hNpnotiSms Describing inc eX- periments of Forel, who till recently was medical director of the BurgholZi Asylum and one of the professors of the Untver- sity of Zurich, he said that he succeed ed in hypnotzing nearly all his asylum attendants. both male and female. a large proportion of tn m becoming profound sumndinhules For ten years experiments were made m regard to the use of hyp- notsm in the night watching of danger ous lunttics. Wdrders were hYpnotiZrd and tralnCd to sleep by the bedside of these patients and to awake the instant they heard them attempt to get out of bed the hVpr ptin suggestion being made use of to inhbit all sounds which had no reference to the duty laid upon them, and it was found that warders so hyp- notiZed could perform night duty for SIX months and work hard all day without showing signs nf fatigue The results of these experiments were, it is said, uni fOrmly successful. and no accident Of any kind occurred.
 In regard to this and other applications of hypnotism Dr. Bramwel refers to the method of Wetterstrand. whO instead of restricting himself to suggestions made in the course of short hypnotic trance, advocated the use of the curative effects of prolonged hypnott, sleep. Wetter-
  of nervous disorder by keeping the pa tients in the hypnotic trance for three or four wecKs. Without rousing them the patients were fed at stated intervals. and the actions of the bowels and bladder were regulated by suggestion and thus m ental as well as physica! rest was given. in addition to such therapeutic advantages as might be gained by Suggestion.
 pr. Milne Bramwell says that, although every one cannot he deeply hypnotiZed, profound states are not necessary for the successful employment of suggestion. and the number of persons insusceptib!e to some degree of hypnotic influence is extremely small. Among other diseases he gives the following as those in which hypnotism has given good results: "Hys- teria, neurasthenia. dipsomana and other drug habits. obsessions, moral perversi- ties and nervous tricks in children" We may add that, as far as the treatment of dipsomania is concerned it seems not entirely impossible that some of the startling results which are said to have been obtained at certain institutions for the treatment of this condition may have been the outcome of an unacknowledged but nonetheless effectual application of hypnotic suggestion.

Washington Post.
 The most remarkable case of mistaken identity that ever came to my notice, said d Washington detective to a Post reporter, was one that occurred about the time of the Guldensuppe murder in New York City. At that time l was liv- ing and working in Norfolk. Va, and one day 1 received telegram from New York directing me to arrest 'Bill' Hurley. notorious crook and pickpocket who had jumped his bond in the metropolis, and for whom there Was reward Of S3p The telegram contained a minute desCrip- tion of Hurley. giving his measurements and marks, and among other things, men tionng that one Of hls most striking pc Culiarities was a scar in the form or d cross on hIs right wrist.
 ''A5 soon as 1 received the message along about o'clock D. m, l went over to BlOodheld, resort on the opposite side of the James River from Norfolk, full of gambling and sporting concerns, and the resort of all m amer of tough and suspicious characters; l knew that if Hurley was in E,orfoIk he would in all likelihood be in Bloodfeld. Reaching the resort 1t was not long before 1 found a man III one of the gambling houses who | felt positive was Hurley. and whom l at once placed under arrest. He deni9 in the most emphatic manner that he Was the person for whom 1 was looking, say ing that his name was Jeff Hawley, and not Hurley.
 In fact his denial was so straightfor- ward and convincing that I began to feel Shaky in the matter. and, to make sure that l had made no mistake. l ordered him to bare his right wrist. that l might see whether the crossscar, Hurley's most distinguishing mark. was there or not.
 Why. certainly he said seemingly as anxious to show his wrist as l was to see it, He drew up his sleeve. dis playing a very large and very deep scar in the form of d Greek cross. When [ saw that | felt convinced that l had the right man and, turning. I said to him:

Victim CT F6Ily "SdiOu0J
 There was once q girl who went 10 nummer resort. She made a good begin ming and vas tremendously popular, Then came one of the principal hops Of the season The girl attended and had the misfortune to wear a prettier gown than that of any other woman present. She also had the misfortune to attract a few men away from the presiding genius Of the place, q lady who with great art con cealed the gray hairs in her pompadour and had evidently come to the conclusion that she was a fixture for all time. Now, all would have been well even in spite of this, if the girls usual bad luck had not played against her. She wore tiuftE gown with a silk undersltp. In the twist inps and turnings of the last dance the net skirt slipped from her grasp and touched the ground, while she nerFously clutched at the silk underslip, raising 1t a matter of some five inches from the floor and thereby displaying through the meshes of the net a remarkably pretty pair of stockings and slippers with gilt buckles
 That settled it. Of course no woman came to give her a friendly warning. and. of course. she finished the dance that way. The next day q band of female gorgons. headed by the gray haired belle. carefully circulated the report of Miss
