BABY IS A BOY.
Prenatal Hypnosis Exercised to InfiII-
ence Sex of Child.

New York Jan. 17.-Pre-natal hyp-
nosis as. factor in sex control, it was
announced yesterday, has had re-
markedly successful demonstration in
this city. The subject of the expert
ment is Mrs. H. A. Folgen, of No. %
East Sixty-third street. The operating
psychist is Gustav A Gayer, of No.
131 West Sixty third street.
Following hypno-suggestion treat
ment that lasted about a year, the OBJ
tect of which was a male child, Mrs.
Folgen has become the mother of a
boy baby. He is healthy, well formed,
weighs something more than ten
pounds and awakes the echoes of the
lungs. He is Just the little creature
that his father wanted when he en-
gagged DR.. Gayer, who took the case on
contingent fee. Dr.. Gayer pointed
with pride to a boy and the bill was
paid. A noteworthy feature of the sci
is that the subject of the experiment
had pinned her faith to daughter
while her husband for reasons not
made known, desired a son.
Mrs. Folgen is "a years old. She was
placed under the treatment Of DR..
Gayer about three months before her
wedding. He gave her the first pre-
natal hypno-suggestion ON January Is,
1907. 1t was given in his laboratory in
the presence of several Americans and
science. DR.. Folgen described the
treatment yesterday. He said:
Treatment Mother Underwent
THE subject was put to sleep by
hypnotic power, which is no longer a
thing about which the enlightened mind
raises any question When she was in
cataleptic state I began to grope for
hold on her sub-consciousness. To
get such a hold is the most difficult
part of the task.
Il am expounding only an elemen-
tary principle when 1 say that to con-
troll the subconscious being is to con-
troll the whole being. It is the sub
consciousness, the alter ego, that makes
or mars a life. You may for want of a
clearer term call 1t the dream that is
ever with us. The dream of today is
the reality of tomorrow A woman
about to be married will have a sub
consciousness very busy on the fact
Thus I found door to the part of her
mentality that I could shape to an end
and finally control
In due course, after the marriage,
| l said to her one day when she was
| In the cataleptic sleep, Anna, your
child will be a boy" There was resent
ment of this, for a boy was not the
| first wish of her dawning motherhood.
| But had sounded the keynote, and /
| sounded it again and again until she
| too chimed in. After that in her sub
| consciousness the desire for a bow was
| as strong as her husbands.

ADJUSTMENTS

The character of the title role in the
charming pastoral play, isis Hop
kins," in which Miss Rose Melville will
appear at the Grand tonight, is one
of the most charming and loveable
types of odd stage girl seen in the
past 20 years. The character is that
of simple country girl of Posey Coun-
ty, Indiana, who knows nothing of the
world or the people in it. Her life has
been spent on the farm and she lives
the simple everyday life of the home
" people of the countryside. There
is a little villain.- in the play, just
enough to open her eyes to the world

to be like. other people" The charac-
ter is rather complex in its emotional
phrases but it is not only of agonizing
strain for effect It is quiet and eff
fective and full of a gentle comedy
which is nicely shaded with tender
pathos. AS a play of sincere heart

well as the spiritual. 1t was not long
before I obtained material evidence of
this. Immediately preceding the first
hypno-suggestion treatment of Mrs.
Folgen blood was drawn from the sub
ject. Under test it indicated 100000
red corpuscles. The red corpuscles in the
blood are it's element of virility. On
the same date under hypnosis a blood
test was made, and it indicated an in
crease of 1000 red corpuscles- There
after the increase was steady. Blood
tests were made from time to time I'M

CARS ARE IDLE.
Over 100000 Not in Use on United
States Roads.

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Railroads of the
United States and Canada have 206 500
freight cars in excess of business de-
mands, according to a statement that
will be issued this week by the car
service commission of the American
Railway association.
Shortages exist on only a few roads,
the total number of additional cars
that could be used on these lines
amounting to TIA. The figures are COM
piled from reports made to the COM
mittee by 1853 railroads.
Assuming the average value of car
to be $500, equipment representing

Among the several faces which ar
rived with this call, is one which has
been viciously libelled. Some day, the
editor of this tommyrot is going to
take Governor Fitzgerald gently but
firmly by the wing, and lead him to a
photographer, there to pose him for a
decent likeness. Then the bad half
tones and line cuts alleged to represent
this gentleman will be relegated to the
junk pile where they belong. OF all the
pictures ever taken of legislators and
state officers, it is safe to state that the
alleged picture of Mr.. Fitzgerald now
in circulation is the most unkindest
cut of all.''
P. S. 1t is quite possible-unless mob

possible haste in both houses. Cover

his minions rush matters, and the i'm
pressions of the Gallery Spectators
should be an important factor in bring

at the Metropolitan Church, on NJ

As The Bee predicted, they received
the greatest ovation at this church
OF any church in which they have

capacity IS twenty-five hundred.
The address of Miss Mabel Whit

cidents of her childhood, and the ad-
monition her father gave the girls
before his death, and how they have
struggled to maintain their honor and
reputation.
The vast audience that cheered
this address was an evidence of the
esteem and appreciation in which this
community holds these young ladies.
They are meeting with success
wherever they appear, and those who
have not heard them should not fail
to do so at the first opportunity. See

VALUABLE TINE LOST.

VALUABLE LIME LIS ].
The principal and teachers of the
M-Street High School lose much val
uable time in keeping tally of the
work of the graded schools and not
doing their own.
Their failure in the doing of their
own work they attribute to the grad
ed school even that of Latin, which
is not taught there. Put this lost
time to better use and we will have
better results in this school.
The graded school work is we'll
done.
