HERMANN'S KISSES
ARE BEKED|CT|ONS
SO Says the Sou|mate" of
A Rich New York
Builder.
BOTH HAVE DISAPPEARED.
THE WIFE OF THE MAN HAS is
SUED STATEMENT, STATING
HER HUSBAND SAYS THAT HIS
AFFINITY is NOT WITH HIM.

New York, May 23.-While George
J. Hermann the rich builder. who is a
principal in the Herrmann-S toddard
soul mate" case, has vanished. his al
legged "affinity" and his wife issued
conflicting statements. The case is
awaiting settlement in court.
Mrs. Hermann denies her husband
eloped with Mrs. Ella ST. Clair Nicker-
son Stoddard, wife of Capt. Charles B.
Stoddard of the Ward line. Mrs.
Hermann said her husband had today
sent her a telegram denying Mrs
Stoddard is with him. Mrs. Stoddard
who was living at 800 Flatbush avenue
until she disappeared, before her dis
appearance gave out a statement as
follows:
Il am not yet prepared to say wheth-
er l will marry Mr.. Hermann" She
explained that she used the word
marry" in the ''soulmate" sense.
IF he has progressed steadily to-
ward the proper degree of phychic
power, then l may consider his propos-
al she said.
Mrs. Stoddard declared that Herr
mann's kisses were "benedictions" and
his caresses an expression of God
bless you" She said her husband
had become angry because of her soul
relationship with Hermann, but that
she loved Stoddard as much as she ev-
er did. The captain is away at sea.
Description of the soul kiss and
other things. in more detail than Mrs.
Stoddard has given is contained in a
letter dated March 16, 1904, and which
Mrs. Stoddard says was written by
Hermann. The writer's description
is:
Il can see the most delicious lips
about to part in a kiss. the counterpart
of which an only be found upon those
which yours were intended to caress.
Dear eyes. delicious lips, they are in
eradically painted upon my heart and
brain. The mind will never, never
| let go of the loveliest picture it were
ever mans happiness to gaze upon.
After feasting upon it, drinking it in,
the days and days when you knew it
not. do you think it possible for me to
| forget. to even have it fade, dear?
Sweet, lovely, rose petals, glorious
eyes that are looking for their souls
mate-you know, you know"
| Mrs. Stoddard also had this to say:
Mr. Stoddard knows full we'll that |
| love Mr.. Hermann. have loved
| him through all ages in one form or
another"

POLITICS IN LIMELIGHT.
ALTHOUGH RESIDENTS OF CAPl
tai CITY ARE ENUICHS TO
POLITICS, THEY HAVE BEEN
COMPELLED TO TAKE NOTICE,

Washington. May 23.-The Capital
City has seen some strenuous days
during the month of May, for it has
been lively work following the doings
of congress, the governors and various
other conventions. and the operations
of the sundry candidates for the presi-
Dental nomination at the hands of
their respective parties. However,
Washingtonians are fortunate in hav-
ing had with them for some seven
years an able instructor in the game Of
being strenuous. and hence they have
managed to give a good account of
themselves. Many and diversified
have been the topics discussed in
Washington during the last few weeks
but at the present time everything
else practically has become dry and IN
interesting and speculation and inter-
est center around the selection OF Sem
ator Burrows as temporary chairman
of the republican national convention
and its possible outcome. Despite the
fact that most people who make
Washington their headquarters are po-
litical eunichs. great interest always
is manifested here in politics. and es-
pecially presidential politics-not that
any of them are so vitality concerned
over the result Of the quadrennial con-
tests. but principally for the reason
that when congress adjourns and ev-
erybody who can goes home, there's
not. for those who peEforcs remain,

sheep herders representing the cattle

back She laughed at them, and as
she was in a town where she was we'll
known they were afraid to interfere
with her, and she went bravely on into
the desert That was the last seen
of her by her friends at Riverton.
= She proceeded with her party of col
onists to an irrigation system some
fifty miles into the desert. Two days
later the wretched farmers, who went
with her into the desert came back al
most scared to death. They told how
Miss Dawson had been taken away
from the hotel at the irrigation site.
A band of sheep rangers, armed and
wearing black masks, came in and seiZ-
ed her, ordered the farmers to put up
their hands and promised immediate
death to any man who moved a hand
to help her.
anybody, man or woman who tries
to cut up our sheep ranges will come
to an unpleasant end" remarked the
leader of the sheep men. Just take
note of that"
Then they tied Miss Dawson upon
the leaders horse. and rode away with
her into the desert. From subsequent
reports it appears that they carried
her two hundred miles into the desert
and left her in the remOtest spot from
human habitation they could find.
Runners who pass through the desert
carrying the mail report that they
have seen a wild, demented woman,
clad only in tatters, living in the sage
brush. There is no doubt that this
is Miss Dawson driven mad by her sui
ferings.
1t is supposed that she has been eat
ing the sage brush. which is about the
only form of vegetation in the region
where she is marooned. This sage
brush contains the principal ingredient
of abSinthe. 1t is capable of sustain
ing life for a considerable time, but if
taken without other food it surely
drives the eater mad.
Thus, this unhappy young woman
has been condemned to a fate worse
than death by a body of American cit
liens. purely for the sake of keeping
their grasp on property which does not
belong to them.

North Adams friends suggesting that
mothers be cautioned to keep their

Tyres bear hunt is not contemplated
with any noticeable complaisance by

1.-THE present requirements protract
unduly the period Of pupilage," says
DR.. Seelye "and they have made a
higher education more expensive and
thereby less accessible except to the
weather. classes, who do not always
possess the greatest intellectual ability.
AS most of the ablest men come from
the poorer classes, it would be both a
public and private calamity if it
should become harder for poor girls
and boys of ability to gain the mental
culture they desire.
"It would be a still greater loss if
by postponing the time Of graduation
family life should be impaired. A col
lege education should not contribute to
the modern tendency to celibacy. Ply
sicians also complain that the amount
of study required for admission seri-

swallows it's food whole, catching it in

bones that womankind are accustomed
to using in their waists he would never
recognize them as part of his ali

Women May Have Gowns Fitted Also.
JeweIry Store on Board.
Among the innovations which Herr
Balm has planned for the new Ham
burg-American liner Europa, now be-
ing built at Belfast, are tailOr's shop
and modiste's parlor, which will be I'M
der the direction of first class artists
from London and Paris, says the New
York Times.
American tailors will also be on
board to please those who like English
cloth, but not, the cut.
Whether women will feel spry enough
to try on dresses in midocean is yet to
be proved, but Herr Balm thinks that
the great size of the Europa, 10000
tons, will preclude the possibility of
rolling to any extent and permit wom-
en- to keep their feet while being fitted.
There is also to be jewelry store
on board, in which passengers may Sc
lect diamonds and precious stones at
their leisure without the trouble of
ransacking London, Paris or Berlin for
them.
This latter feature may have blight

it is said, have owed much of their
popularity to the fact that about the

MAGIC IN MOROCCO.
Charms and Spells That Are Used b,
Moorish Women.

Charms and Spells That Are Used b,
Moorish Women.
Mrs. Mansel-Pleydell writes of the
curious charms used by the women OF
Morocco: Moorish women resort much
to charms to gain lovers or to keep
their affections when gained. There is
one charm which is seldom known to
fail. 1t consists of shredding small
piece of an undergarment which the
man has worn and, after certain in
carnations have been said over it, of
rolling the particles into the shape
of a small ball. This is embedded in
large ba4 of clay and, after being
slightly damped. it is kept in a pot
over the embers of live charcoal.
81 have been assured that as soon
as the heat, penetrates the clay the
man. whoever he may be, will lay
aside whatever work he is doing at the
time and fly to the arms of the woman
who inyokes the charm. AS long as
the ball is kept warm so long will the
heat of love burn in the heart of the
lover for that woman.
another spell much resorted to is
cast by cutting off the tips OF don
keys ears, cooking them and mixing
them in the mans food. He then be-
comes as foolish as donkey, with
love for the charmer who has provid-
ed his unsayory repast." Chicago

Names Wasted Wood,

There are $4,000 cords Of wood at
modest estimate going to rot in York
county. Me-. according to John Mer-
serve. the agent for the Biddeford Rec
ord, who knows every crossroad and
about every farm in the county. This
wood is left by the portable mills in
the shape of tops. 1t is not cut up. be-
cause it would cost more than it is
worth to haul it to market, so it lies
there rotting on lots stripped by the
portable mills, says the Kennebec
Journal. Mr. Merserve says that he
was offered as much as he wanted of
oak. maple and beech tops for 80
cents cord. In some cases, where the
stripped lots are near enough to make
it worth while. farmers are saving
their own wood and cutting up this
refuse for fuel paying % cents cord
In one lot over in Lyman he estimates
that there are 500 cords of good wood
going to waste.
