ACTRESS MADE A STAR BY
HYPNOTISM
Under the Strange Spell She
Carried the Audience by
StOrm-FamOus in
a Night.

DR.. John d. Quackenbos, professor
| in Columbia University, New York
astonished his associates of the Medi
co-Legal Society the other night by
telling them how young actress
bounded into fame in Il single night
under the hypnotic spell. 1t is the
case of Trilby in real lie; not the
trick of Il charlatan. but a sober, ac
| tual accomplishment of latter-day sci
| ence. The new Trilby is favoritt
with theatregoers. Her first appear.
ance on the stage was made at New
! York theatre. when, under the hyp.
motto spell, she carried the audience
| by storm: she was called before the
| curtain again and again-at a bound
she was famous. The press of the
city united in applauding her splendid
work. This is only one of the many
marvels of this wonderful power. The
American College of Sciences, of Phil
| adelphia, has recently issued a new
book by twenty eminent hypnotic
specialists. which is being distributed
| free throughout the country for the
purpose of educating and protecting
| the public. 1t is one of the most
| weird and fascinating WORKS ever
written. 1t is richly illustrated with
the finest engravings, and its vivid
! descriptions of the practical uses and
possibilities of this marvellous mind
power fill one with awe and amaze
ment. Among the many intensely in
teresting subjects treated are: How
to hypnotic instantaneously; how to
influence a person secretly without
laI, Il
Sonal magnetism and use it in bust
ness, society, etc: power of the hui
man will: how to cure the most obsti-
nate diseases and bad habits by mag
netic forces without drugs or medi-
cines; how to make people like you;
how to win il business. in society, in
love; anyone can develop personal
magnetism; rules which will abso-
lutely develop this power within
short time; the transmission of
thought; the development of soul
power; how to make a business man
listen to you when he would send
anyone else away; how to sell a man
goods when he does not want to buy;
Il Legitimate way to double your sal
airy; how to keep people from infiu-
encing you; hundreds secretly infiu-
enced and controlled in body and
mind without their knowledge: how
to implant a suggestion or command
in subjects mind that he will carry
out week. month. or a year hence,
just as the Lypnotist may wish; how
to hypnotic by mail or by telephone;
how to develop within yourself that
inward power, that force of charac-
ter, which instantly gives You con

homes of Washington.
The bed upon which James Seymour
Ayres, jr., slept while guest at the no

the door separating his room from the one
occupied by Miss Minas; the wardrobe
against which he fell when he was shot,
and the rocking chair against which his
head was found resting-all are to be
knocked down under the hammer to the
highest bidder.
The articles have been in possession Of
the police, as evidence. and 1t was but a
few days ago that they were removed
to the auction rooms of Mr.. James w.

are the property of Mr.. ". w. Warfeld,
proprietor of the hotel in which the
shooting occurred, who preferred not to
return the articles to his house.

ROW AT A MISSION,
Negroes Involved in Disorder on Account
of a Crowd.

Alexander Hall and Peter Wyche, both
colored, who testified that they are trus-
tees of the Shorter African Mission, were
the chief witnesses against William L.
Smothers, negro, charged in the Police
Court yesterday with disorderly conduct.
Hall and Wyche said that Smothers
called at the mission on Street north
west Thursday night, accompanied by two
women, and tried to force his way in
when there was no room, owing TO the
big crowd present, and that when they
demonstrated with him he became angry
and used profanity and aggravating
epithets.
Smothers told the court that he had
gone to the mission with the women and
had left them here, and that when he
went back after them he was refused ad
mission. He denied the other charges.
Judge Scott released him on personal
bonds.

Railway List Quiet.

Few movements Of interest or signifi-
canoe were noted in the railway list.
Among the specialties, Detroit Southern
and Kansas City Southern were steady.
while the remainder of that class was
reactionary.
The overnight announcement of the re-
sumption of dividends on Evansville and
Terre Haute common did not prevent a
material reaction in that instance. Some
what unexpectedly, also, announcement
was made that the dividend on Continen-

Gold for Japan.

Washington advices reporting the max
ing CT arrangements for the transfer of
large sums from New York to San Fran
cisco through the Sub-Treasury were con-
strued in the stock market as foreshad-
owing gold exports to Japan, but so far
as could be ascertained they had no such
significance and are designed to complete
the payment for a number of local trans
portaticn lines in San Francisco acquired
by an Eastern syndicate.

A Professional Market.

In the days wholly professional mar
ket, however, any runlor or report of one
sort or another was quickly seized upon
as an explanation of the sagging tenden
cy of prices. London was again factor
of small account in the local market, the
selling for foreign account being con-
fined to few thousand shares of the in
ternationally listed stocks. against which
the moderate buying for foreign account
of the United States Steel issues was
noted.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-The stock market
opened with a fairly steady tone and with
the trading in fair volume, but subse-
quently the tendency Of prices became re-
dictionary and the dealings contracted
materially in volume. 1t was commonly
expected that tomorrow's bank statement
would show 4 further heavy reduction in
surplus reserves as the result of the
weeks gold shipments and the losses in
cash made by the banks in other respects.
Preliminary Estimates.
Today's preliminary estimates foreshad-
owed a loss in cash of about $4,000. G0O
and it would obviously require q very
heavy shrinkage in liabilities to offset
such an amount as that. In addition to
the views with regard to the bank state
ment, speculative sentin ent was confused
by advices from the West that the Fed
eral legal authorities intended to bring
an action against the Southern Pacific
Company in connection with its acquisi
ton of various lines in California and
elsewhere, presumably on the same
grounds as the pending suit against the
Northern Securities COMPANY.

FREIGHT HANDLERS.
The strike of the freight handlers at
the New London steamboat wharf has
made hard work for the employees on the

Yesterday morning the steamer City OF

Stonington from New London. owing TO
the prolonga ton of the strike. She will
be unloaded at Stonington, which is thus
for the present the freight terminus OF
