Beeears In Spain.

Eleanor Franklin in Leslie's Weekly.
Spain has a population of beggars.
There are so many of them that 1t is
impossible to understand how they can
make their industry lucrative; and IL
1t were not for the crowds of tourists
who have to pay them for the privilege
of seeing the picturesque remains Of
the country's past, don't believe they
could. All southern countries are sim
ilarly beridden, l know, but | have
never been in any other land where
beggary assumed SO many surprising
DISCUSSES or SO many unsightly forms.
There is nothing unusual about the
dirty, shrill-voiced children, the un-
kempt old women, and the ragged,
filthy, blear-eyed men who follow one

name of God, to save them from freez.

Is an experience startling enough to
be placed in the category of the decid-

beggars are down in Andalusia and
Valencia, where the sun sometimes
shines with a yellow glow, where the

London Stock Market.

London, September 22.-The stock mar
ket during the week continued to be domi-
mated by the money situation and bus
mess was reduced to a minimum, narrow
fluctuations leaving quotations fraction
ally lower on the week. The American
gold demand was the most depressing in
fluence, and although reports circulated
early in the week that the demand was
about satisfied, caused an upward move
ment in British securities, a reaction fol-
lowing when gold bars were taken by the
Bank of England from America.
Home rail securities were fiat on ru-
mors of coming labor troubles i'll the mid
lands, while the accident on the Great
Northern had a further depressing ef-

What those people who like to promul-
gate unfavorable opinions of the effect of
a college education on a girl will have to
say in bliss Steyensons case will be inter-
esting to hear. Before she went to Rad
eliffe, as graduate student-just as many
other girls go there because of the oppor-
tunities it offers for advanced work
through its affiliation with Harvard uni
versity, of whwlch it Is practically the
womans department-Miss Stevenson took
her A. B. at Converse college, in South
Carolina. There she specialized In chem
istry from a love of the science. In fact.
she gave so much of her time to that
branch of study that she thought she had
neglected other things. particularly Eng
lish composition and literature, and 1t was
to make up this deficiency that she after
wards became student in Cambridge,
where, too, she later made her first start
In scientific breadmaking.
When she finished her studies at Rad
eiffe Miss Stevenson went to Toronto to
assist in a unique educational plant known
as Agnes Smith House, where she had the
household management of the institution
for year or more. 1t was while In Agnes
Smith House that she met the four To-
ronto girls who, since the Inauguration of
the restaurant enterprise, have been at
her right hand in different departments.

For IL years l ave been living the life
of a Jekyll and trying to subdue my Hyde.
Fearing my evil genius, l have at last de-
cided to end the struggle by killing my

message left behind him a short time ago
by Dr. Steger, a well-known doctor who
was found in a New York hotel.
The problem suggested by the farewell
message is one which is a sore puzzle to
the ceverest men of our time Is it pos
sible for a human body to be tenanted by
two different spirits antagonistic to each
other and which dominate the body in
turns? On this point some most interesting
evidence Is available which seems to con-
firm the theory that 1t is possible.
DR.. Morton Prince tells a remarkable
story of girl patient, a Miss Christine
l.. Beauchamp, Of Boston, who at different
times completely changed her personality.
Normally she is a diligent college student,
a great lover of books, and of very retir-
ing disposition. This was the Miss Beau

completely changed, and she became ami

Philadelphia, September 22-As a result
of the fight within the lines of the city
party over the nomination of q candidate
for district attorney of Philadelphia, d.
rector Sheldon Potter of the department
of public safety, and Thomas w. South,
the assistant director, this afternoon sent
their designations to Mayor Weaver. The
communication sent to the Mayor gives
no reason. 1t is as follows;
.Hon. John Weaver, Mayor:

Potter to deliver to you his resignation as

chief pleasure in playing foolish pranks
and squanderlng her money. No wonder
Miss Beauchamp wrote to DIR. Prince:
mo one has the slightest control over this
spirit that possesses me save you. You
won't leave me to its mercy?'
In 1899 Miss Beauchamp developed still
another personallty-"that of an average
woman of good health, selfish and self
concentrated. ambitious and ill-tempered,
and sworn enemy to Sally each being
aware of the others existence and strug-
Cling for supremacy" Thus for some
years the poor girl has been the victim OF
these three separate spirits, each dominate
ing her in turn and each trying to Gust the
others until in her distress and despair
she wrote to the doctor, 81 do really think
that like those poor people of old. must
be possessed of devils.
Almost more remarkable still is tho
story told by DIR. Albert Wilson of girl
patient who passed through 10 distinct
changes of personality. In one she was a
child, ignorant of all she had learned, and
requiring to be educated afresh; a few
months later all her old knowledge return
ed, but she developed a dangerous mania,
was very passionate and tore her clothes.
In the succeeding phase she lost both
speech and hearing, and conversed fiuently
on her fingers, although in her normal
condition she was ignorant Of the deaf and
dumb language; then she became posses
| sed by the idea that she was an infant,
spelled backward and reversed things gen.
orally calling black white and so on.
| Next followed a phase in which she was a
| sweet, amiable child" who had to be
taught to read and write later she lost all
memory except of small events In her ear
ly childhood. and in succeeding changes
she was unable to recognize faces, declar-
ing that she had been born the night be-
fore; talked French language she had
never learned land became a blind i'm
clle with a wonderful gift for drawing.
These are by no means all the changes
Of personality through which this unfor-
tunate girl went before her final restora-
tion to health.
DR.. Forbes Winslow tells a. story of a
clergyman who underwent remarkable
change of personality in which he forgot
everything he had ever learnt, and Indus
triously began to relearn the lessons OF
! childhood One day after he had made
some progress, he placed his hand to his
head and said, II feel a peculiar sensation.
and now It appears to me that l knew all
this before" and within a short time his
faculties were completely restored to him
And to give but one more example out OF
many, young lady, Miss b I'm her natural
condition was a clever llnguist and musl-
clan: in abnormal conditions she could
neither read nor write and had to be
taught as a child; and her life was spent
in passing from one personality 10 tho
other.
