NEW YORK, April 2. The sew

liner Iroquois, from Jacksonville and
Charleston, which when sighted off
the Highlands yesterday was cruising
around Scotland lightship with two

up fog-boUnd coast, the carving
away Of the rudder stock, the rigging

out where he said he would. All were
loud in their praises of Capt. Watson
who was making his first trip as COM
mander. He had no sleep since leaving
Charleston Wednesday.
The captain said that after leaving
Charleston a "no'theaster" arose roll
ing up swell that seemed to come
from the very ground of the ocean. A
streaked fog spread itself over the
coast. He was obliged to head the YES

strain, the big seas slamning against

is LOVE A DISEASE

English Physicians Declare u

According to Sex.

LONDON, April 2. - Can love be
cured? Is 1t IAN affair Of the heart
or merely a mental disorder, durable,
If necessary, by the medical man?
The question, which is calculated to
rouse the attention not only of lovers,
but of the distracted parents of those
lander's address to the Incorporated
British chronological society.
DR.. Hollander, whose important book
on ''The Mental Functions of the
Brain" has been much discussed by
scientists, suggests that love is in some
cases disease.
THE disease" he said, assumes one
of the three forms-acute, subacute, or
notwithstanding to the age, sex and
disposition of the patient.
Among women it is usually sub
acute, more rarely acute, and scarcely
ever chronic. Among men it is usually
acute when they are young, but tends
to assume a chronic form as they grow
older.
Many of the patients are willing to
admit that the condition is one of tenn
porary alteration of intellect. After
they return to themselves they wonder
at their own folly, madness, or stupid
ity, and are heartily glad they have es-
capped"

ings, said DIR. Hollander. render the
mind suspectible to the disease. When
the disease is unusually violent 1t is
attended with great danger, he added,
and may lead to suicidal or homicidal
mania.
In order to cure the disease he recon-
mended that everything should be done
to harden the patient, mentally and
physically. Cold baths and douches,
early rising, much exercise, hard beds
and chairs. and the study of the exact
sciences are suggested

Cassandra's limitations as ProDhetess
A MONG all my friendships with proph-
cts do not recall any more generally
reliable than Susan Cassandra, of Troy.
1t very seldom happened that the thing
she foretold failed to come about in the
precise manner in which she had pre-
dlcted. The destruction Of TROY she
predicted with such accuracy that the
whole story of it in detail was in type in
the office Of the Trojan Gazette three
weeks before it came off, and it was no
uncommon thing in those days for the
editors all the country over to offer her
large sums of wealth for advance infor-
nation from the inside.
To her credit be it said that. save in
matters pertaining to the actual welfare
or her native land, she would not sell this
information no matter what the consider
alton offered. The story of Prian's
downfall, the treachery of the horse, that
great ringer" which enabled the Creeks
TO Wreak such havoc upon that devoted
city, the fate of LAGOON and his sons-all
these things We're vividly set forth In the
prediction which she wrote out with the
greatest care for the Trojan Gazette but
which the editor of that journal was
pusillanimeusly afraid to print Person
ally used to take the greatest enjoy
ment from an occasional visit to Nine
Cassandra'S prophecy parlors, as we
called them, and many an evening have
spent with her listening to her wonder
full stories of the future.
1t may interest American readers Of
these memoirs to learn that she foretold
to the minute the discovery of America,
by Columbus, the overthrow of George III
by Washington and the DEVELOPMENT Of
the political conditions of the present day.

John Milton and William Shakespeare
we're the most interesting, though from
certain points of view they were nei-

Alfred Austin. Milton was indeed a
pathetic figure because of his blindness,
and the austerity Of his manner was
such that comparatively few of his
contemporaries ever got close enough
TO the real man completely to under
stand him. With him frequently my
self however, 1 was able to see the
other side of this seemingly frigid per
sonality, and am perhaps the first, for
that reason, to have noted a strong
tendency to humOr in the man. The
first instance of this that came to my

is troubled with many theories with
regard to the changing of present con-

In addition to his work as an actor,
he has written several plays. They
are all of the gloomy sort, however,
and have not been successes. Yet his
friends predict for him great future

shaken off the morbidness Of thought
that now envelopes him.
