Married to AmeIle Rives.

John Armstrong Chanler first came
into the public eye when he married
Amelie Rives, who wrote that bril-.
liant erotic THE Quick or the Dead"
in which Is told the old love of a
beautiful widow for her dead husband
and her newer love for another man in
the flesh. Jock Dering, the hero, was
hanler.
Miss Rives was denounced ty some
persons as rather, imprudent writer,
but that didn't keep her book, which
appeared in 1885, from having a ire
mendous sale. Her marriage to young
Mr.. Chanler only added to its popular.
ity She was beautiful, cratic, i'm
petuous. Soon their friends came TO
realize that there was nothing in
common between the grave, polished.
rather mystic New Yorker and the will
full, gifted Virginia girl.
There was a divorce, which the hus-
band did not contest, upon the grounds
of incompatability and the Mrs. Chan
Ter that was married Prince Troubet-
skoi, whom she had met abroad.

PLAINTIFFS SANITY is IN QUESTION
Extraordinary Life Sorry Of the Former Husband Of the Princess
TrOubekoi Who Is Legally Sane Virginia, Legally nsan,
in New York, AID Who Writes Startling Narrative Of
His Struggles fer Liberty and an inheritance.

New York.-Can a man be sane In
one state and insane in another?
So it would seem. But John Arm
strong Ohanler, cousin of the Astors,
ohum of the late Stanford White, col
iege graduate, student of psychics and
eK-husband of that brilliant, erratic
woman, Amelie Rives, now the Prin-
cess Troubetskoi, is not going to take
such decision as final.
Next month his ca:.e comes up in the
federal courts here in New York. Mr..
Chanler, who has fortune of 81 100000,
wants to get control of it. But the
courts of New York say he is insane
and not competent. His legal resi-
dence Is in the state of Virginia.
And there the courts have decided
that he is perfectly sane and able to
manage his estate.
There are forty-fve states in the
Union. Mr.. Chanler can visit forty
four of them without the slightest
danger to his personal liberty. But
should he set foot In the sovereign
btate Of New York he will promptly
be clapped into a lunatic asylum, be-
cause he is still held to be mentally
incompetent.
1t will be desperate legal battle.
PR. Chanler has retained the best of
bounsel. So has the custodian of his
100000. T. T. Sherman, who says
he Is insane. 1t is very much like

it has been scrutinized. In this way
he manages to borrow s10--this man
with an income of $4,000 year
One day he does not return from his
daily walk. No, he has walked well
and far-he has taken train to New
York from an obscure railway station
miles distant from White Plains,
where Bloomingdale now is. BY night
fall he is safe in Philadelphia.
And now what does he do?
Does he go into paroXysms OF impo-
tent rage at those who incarcerated
him, as do many of the insane when
they. escape? Does he try to kill
those whom he might imagine respon-
sible for his sufferings? Does he
break out in incoherent rawlings
against fancied evils?
Under Scientific Observation.
No. He goes straightaway to san
itarium in Philadelphia. He states
his case calmly to the physician in
charge and asks to be put under
months voluntary confinement there
the physicians there tell him that he
is perfectly sane and has always been
so. He Is not even now content. He
goes to another institution and goes
through the same voluntary process
all over again. Once more the physi-
clans tell Mr.. Chanler he is well bal
anced. Then suddenly he appears at
his old home, Merry Mills, Gotham,
Va, where he has stayed to this day,
master of his ancestral estates.
Once safely home, this socalled
lunatic retained counsel. The matter
of his sanity was brought up in the
Virginia courts and then and there
John Armstrong Chanle- was pro-
nounced sane and competent. But
the greater part of his fortune was
here in New York state, and here 1t
is on record that John Armstrong
Chanler is a hopeless lunatic Should
he come here he would be deprived of
his liberty. And that is why he is
suing in the United States court in
the hope Of winning back his inheri.
lance and his standing as a man of
sound mind.
And why was John Armstrong
Chanler, Columbia 'S3, called insane?
Because, as the physicians said, he
had delusions-at least some of them
said so:
Those who committed him to a Iiv.
ing grave declared that he had Shakes.

Yet some of the most prominent
psychological writer's discuss this "
faculty In all seriousness and admit
that there is such thing as graphic
automatism." And all of this is told
in remarkable book which Mr.. Chan
Ter has just published.
He calls it -Four Years Behind the

Complains of Injustice.
The book recites with bitterness
what the writer calls the injustice of
the proceedings leading up to the judy
ment of the New York courts and TO
his incarceration in Bloomingdale.
How Stanford White got him to
Bloomingdale is told in this wise:
Il received a telegram from my
friend, Mr.. Stanford White, proposing
to visit me In company with mutual
friend. AS i was on rather unfriend-
ly terms with Mr.. White at the time,
owing to an abusive letter he had re.

'Mr. White hastily excused his In
trusion and implored me to accompany
him to New York for a plunge in the
metropolitan whirl.' AS l had some
business which needed my attention in
New York ! consented"
OF New York Mr.. Chanler says:
I'm other words, a citizen of the
state of New York can be condemned
and imprisoned without a hearing. All
that is required to deprive citizen of
the Empire state of his liberty Is one
or two false witnesses, two dishonest
doctors and Judge who can swallow
sworn conflicting statements without
qualm. No defense Is allowed to the
accused.
This Is truly the Empire state.

Fortunately for myself, however,
I am no longer a citizen Of the Empire
state, but am and have been since
1895 citizen of the sovereign state
of Virginia; which title to sovereignty
propose to see Virginia make good
by rescuing me-"
"Graphic automatism" he defines
thus:
I'm a word, the writing is, as the
name implies, automatic. So far-but
so far only-as conscious thought, I.
e., conscious mental action is con-
cerned, the hand does the writing
without the help Of the head. In other
words, 1t is as though one had magic
pen-or pencil, since pencil is
smoother and easier to operate than

Aerate the Milk

New milk should be aerated as soon
as possible after it is drawn, but this
should never be done in the barn. A
simple way is to pour the milk slowly
from one pail to another several times.
Bad odors are thus driven off and a
fine butter flavor Is preserved.

This Napoleonic trance is vouched
for by physician. Mr.. Chanler thus
describes it.:
I'm communicating with my XII &C.
ulty' by means of vocal automatism,
which Is also one of my trance-like
states, / was informed by my X-fac-
ulty' that it would like me to go into
a Napoleonic trance. 1t gave me to
understand that would represent the
death of Napoleon Bonaparte by so
doing, and that my features, when my
eyes were closed, and face, would re-
semble strongly those of the dead Ma
poleon Bonaparte. This was In Feb
ruary, 1897, upon or shortly after my
arrival at the Hotel X. New York
city.
my 'X-faculty' did not tell me what
to do in order to produce the so-called
Napoleonic trance; it merely informed
me that when the time came it would
instruct me what to do to produce
the said trance. The distinguished
sculptor, Mr.. SIG. called at the Hotel
K, shortly after my arrival. while /,
was in bed and in the evening my XII
faculty gave me to understand, with
out Mr.. S. G.. knowing 1t, that it would
be the proper time for me to enter the
Napoleonic trance; was interested
myself from scientific point of view
to know just what would do in a
trance.

Nut culture.-Nut culture Is yet II
tie understood by our farmers. many
of whom could do well by growing nut
trees where some kind of forest tree
should be grown. In the pasture,
where shade is necessary for the
stock nut trees could be as well
grown as naples and other trees that
bear no fruit. The study of nut cul-
ture is receiving more attention to-
day than at any previous time, and we
expect to see a very much increased
interest among farmers. The qualities
of nuts can be improved as well as
the varieties. New varieties can be
created that will be as much ahead of
the wild varieties as the best apple of
our day is ahead of the wild apple
from which all cultivated varieties
came.
