HE CAN CURE JEALOUSY.

a French Doctor Would Make 1t
Yield to Treatment.
Copyright. 1902. by the Press Publishing
Company; New York World; Special
Cable to the Dispatchl.
PARIS, October 4.-Speculation as to
the motives which led Leon Syndon. an
artist. to murder Lurien David. has
brought to light a singular theory adj
vanced by DR.. Fleury.
This eminent French physician thinks
he has discovered that jealousy can ba
course OF judicial medical treatment. His
method is to take man who is unrea-
sonably jealous and irritable. give him a
good solid breakfast and then ask him
the reason for his behavior.
IF the patient consents to talk about
the matter" the doctor says. half the
battle is won. II you let him get past
the first meal, the green-eyed monstes
gets the better of him and holds him in
it's tolls the rest of the day."
According to DR.. F'leury Jealous people
have lucid intervals. the nnalady being in-
termittent like chlls and fever. He sets
forth that to be effective the treatment
must include everything that can give
strength and self-confldence to the jealous
subject, in short. to make a man of him.
The murder of David was particularly
cold-blooded. Syndon laid In wait Yo6
him and met him walking with Mrs.
David near her mothers villa Stridina
up to him the artist hurled few insults
at David, then drawing a revolver quick%
ly fred six shots. David fell without a
word, while his murderer rushed off in
frenzy to deliver himself up.
Lucien David was connected with thd
Paris Exchange, was wealthy, had snvia4
Bile social prestige, and lived in style
with his wife and four children. He met
Syndon two years ago. when the latter.
who had exhibited in the salon. was en<
gagged to paint Mime. David's portrait.
Later Syndor gave lessons to her b-year<
old daughter. The trouble began when
Syndon was peremptorily asked to ceasa
his visits to the house, because Of alleged
attentions to the girl It is
said, however, that ne had become in-
fatuated with Nine. David and that hil
fondness was reciprocated. A photograph
OF the woman taken with Syndon waa
found In the murderer's pocket when he
gave himself up.
The artist, who affects the ultra-pios
turesque in dress-yelvet coat, flowing tie.
and long hair-toId the man who drove
him to town that for almost two years
David had tortured him with his una
worthy suspicious In regard to his daugh4
ter.
Another story Is that David had usurped
the affections Of Syndon's sweetheart.

ranged to purchase $4,000 tons of coal in
wales and ship it 10 this city as rapidly
as possible for distribution to the poor

II more coal is needed to relieve the
famine that Will result if the strike is
from Wales.
The Treasury Department was notified
.o-day that there are 10000 tons Of an
thracite at Montreal available for ship
rnent to this country.
News Of the Morgan gift was given out
in statement issued this afternoon at
the Morgan banking house by Mr.. Steele,
one of MorGan's partners.
From the statement, it would appear
that the International Mercantile Com
vany is the donor OF the coal, but there
is no doubt that Mr.. Morgan. personally,
is going to an expense of at least $780,
900 to relieve the coal situation.
wall Street Calculates.
What there is back of this gift Of Mr..
Norgan's is a matter of speculation in
Wall Street.
In some circles it is believed to be
slap at the presidents of the coal roads,
who have SO obstinately refused to con-
slider any terms for the settlement Of the
strike. save the unconditional surrender
on the part of the miners. Mr. Morgan re-
mafned at his Office until 8 o'clock this
afternoon, perfecting the arrangements
Those who believe that Mr.. Morgan's
sction is directed against the presidents
nf the coal roads assert that Mr.. Morgan
sent for President Truesdale last Thurs
Jay and told him the strike must be
settled Mir. Truesdale is reported to have
said that Mr.. Morgan mixed in the strike
two years ago and made possible the
utuation as It exists to-day and that he
would have to keep out and let the
operators go along the lines they have
laid down.

to be Mr.. Morgan's answer 10 this.
Official StareInent.
The following is the text of the state
ment issued by Mr. Steele:
1T was learned to-day that the Inter
national Mercantile Marine Company
has arranged to purchase in England So
80 tons of the best domestic fuel coal for
immediate transportation to this country.
The shipments of coal viii begin at
once and be hurried forward as rapidly
as possible. even at the sacrifice of the
company's ordinary business if it should
become necessary.
This coal. as well as more, if required,
will be used to relieve any suffering or
scarci:y that may exist among the poor
or in public institutions.
The truth of this report was officially

One significant feature connected with
the presiding officers assignment to this
conference at its coming session, is the
fact that it will be the third consecu-

distinguished prelate has presided. His

while bishop has frequently presided
over a conference more than once, it is a

III this instance, it may be construed as
a compliment on the part of the House of

which Bishop Duncan has presided over
the last two sessions of the conference.
He will be very warmly greeted by his
brethren upon his return for the thiru
time.
