STORY OF COUTTS'S BANK
Romances of Great Banker Who
Married q HOuSenaid.

Tho death Of that grand old lady. the Baroness
Burdett- Coutts has set all the world talking about
the famous bank from which she acquired her
fabulous wealth In the annals OF the commercial
world It is doubtful II more remarkable story can
be found than that connected with the banking
house OF Messrs. Coutts & Co. Business success
and love and romance are interningled In a manner
stranger than any fiction ever written.
Almost two centuries ago James Coutts-ths eld-
est son OF John Coutts Lord Provost Of Edinburgh.
who started the first private banking house In
Scotland-came to London and became a partner
IN the banking firm Of Campbell & Coutts. in the
Strand. Six years later Campbell died. and James

"class for the psychical cure Of nervous dis
eases" at Emmanuel Episcopal Church. in New
bury street. this city.
The power Of the mind over the body and the
nervous system thereof: tho value OF 'hetero-
suggestion and OF "auto-suggestiOn"; the oon-
soling power OF religion; the principles OF 'psy-
Geological physiology" physiological psychol-
Ogy." "psychotherapy'' and "psychO-therapeu-
ties" all are explained shorn OF their mystify-
ing terms by the conductors OF the class the
Rev. DR.. ElwOod Worcester rector OF the
church. and his colleague, the Rev. DR.. Samuel
McComb. with an everyday medical and surgi-
cal diagnosis as the starting point.
Although the church is noted for the wealth
and fashion OF it's regular congregation yet the
meetings Of this class every Wednesday even-
ing are cosmopolitan gatherings. none being
barred from attendance. Rich and poor rub ell
bows, mix with another in the pews and
discuss the purpose OF the class with one an
other. all social standards for the time being
ignored for both the rector and his colleague
are strong in the belief OF the equality OF all
mankind, regardless of wealth, birth. position
in social life, race, sect or creed. The Roman
and the Unitarian. all are as welcome the
Episcopalian, and the teachings OF the class are
free 10 one as TO another.
Behind the whole scheme IS a body OF dis
interested philanthropists OF the most practi-
cal kind all ardent students and devotees OF
psychology. The two active heads OF the move
ment. Drs. Worcester and McComb. both doc
tors of divinity. are supported by Drs ]. J..
Putnam and Richard Cabot. both of the Har-
ward Medical School. and a corps of specialists
neurOtic disorders, the purpose of the class
being not to interfere with the work OF phys-
clans, but rather TO supplement and extend
their field. since none can take the class treat
ment unless they have been examined by a
competent specialist. All considerations OF fnan-
cial return and monetary gain, either directly
or indirectly, are disregarded by those inter-
ested in the work, the specialists, some OF whom
normally receive fees which would put the head
OF the average family into bankruptcy imne-
diately, getting absolutely no recompense for
their services at Emmanuel Church
The class is an experiment, although already
It has proved successful one, and these philan-
throptc men are sparing neither time nor ex-
pense in their endeavors to prove conclusively,
that the scientific psychologist and pathologist
working with the progressive clergy can by
lifting the sufferer UP and away from his or her
normal self by means of ambition, religion and
affection, perform cures which, in many ways
border on the miraculous. In fact the success
of the class thus far has proved that the COM
bination OF religion and scientific practioe and
theory works for the good OF each branch, and,
according TO those tntsrestsd, the wonder I. that

played by NJ, II, Post in careful man
ner. Ned Powley MS the other sea
captain was also good. Another hit
was made by Lester Lewis as Sir An
drew Aguocheek, the knight, craven yet
comical. His laugh would make his
fortune in comic opera us well ms his
voice and mannerisms ON the stage
In the duel scene with Viola he APP
peared 10 advantage. While Roy W..
Bell in the part of Valentine had but
little to do he did ii well. Fcste, the
wise fool, was played by James +.
Hamilton. He was especially suited
for the part physically and received n
well deserved encore for his singing.
The hit of the show was made by John
NJ. Waller as Malvolio, Olivia s stew
ard. His rendition of the role of the
pride pulled servant was capital. When
his pride was inflated by the receipt of
missivc in the apparent handwriting
of his mistress bidding him hope, look
up and have greatness thrust upon him
his pride knew no bounds and he spent
| several minutes in self admiration
which brought forth roars of laughter
| When he was put into the dungeon for
the insane by Sir Toby and visited by
Feste, the clown in the guise of priest
he was indeed funny.
The only thing that could have been
bettered in the feminine parts was the
voices of the boys which could not b'
attuned to sufficient softness. Rober
w. Hamilton as Olivia was good in ac
ton and had been fully drilled in LITTLE
feminine mannerisms. Viola was wei
played by j. Albert Sprenger. TIT
hit of the feminine roles was made b.
Chiffon l.. Powell in the part of Maria
Olivia 5 woman. She, or rather he, re
sembled woman more than any o
the others.
But one thing married the production
and that was the lack of scenery an
nouncements. Doubtless in the Eliza
bcthan era plays produced in that man
ncr were enjoyed but the violent men
tai acrobatics necessary to follow tn
play through its rapidly changln
scenes were slightly productive o
ennui. However, everyone who attent
ed was we'll pleased with the play.

Brattleboro Should Be County Seat.

With each succeeding year the I'M
propriety of maintaining the county
huiidinGs at Newfane becomes more
and more apparent. The economic al
ministration of state and county AFFAIRS
will demand sooner or later that brat
tleboro instead of Newfane be MADE the
shire town of Windham county, as a
business proposition, and many pelleVe
that the time is not far distant lhere
is scarcely a town in the county, ASIDE
from those on the West river railroad,
TO which Newfane is as readily acces-
ible as is Brattleboro. People from the
northeast. southeast and southwest sec
tions of the county have to come 10
Brattleboro in order to reach the west
river road. and large majority Oh Vhe
witnesses at each term OF the county
court. who live in the country, come
from the sections mentioned. A move
mcnt TO bring about the change was
started few years ago, out IL was
abandoned for particular reasons |,
That another movement will be started
with the same object in view is reason
ably certain, and to many 1t seems that
the effort should be begun at once, IN
view of the appropriation made by the
legislature at its last session to repair
and improve the county buildings at
Newfane. The county clerk s once Is
