INTERESTED IN GOOD ROADS
National Government Watching the
$50,000,000 Project in New York.

Washington, March 29.-The offic-
ials Of the postofilce department are
greatly interested in the vast scheme
OF highway Improvement in the state
of New York as contemplated by the
S50,OO0,0O0 bond issue authorized by
the General Assembly.
This interest lies in the fact that of
the $4,000 miles of public highways in
the state of New York 4l.1l6 miles, or
55 per cent are daily travelled by 1898
rural carriers in the delivery and col.
lection of mai! at cost to the federal
government of about s1,549, 900 a year.
The fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral has been actively cooperating
with the state highway officials Of
New York since July, 1906, In the eff.
fort making to secure the systematic
aud general improvement OF the pub
lie highways. The requirement of the
department that roads should be kept
10 a condition to be travelled with fac
ility has been an incentive on the part
OF those interested in the rural SER
vice to promote road improvement and
repair.
While the condition and structure OF
the roads covered by rural delivery In
New York are probably above the av.
erage yet Of the total number of miles
travelled by the carriers, but 1912
miles are over macadamized roads, or
less than one mile to each rural route
In the state, the remainder of the
roads being gravel, sand or earth.

unable to prove that the sensational

the confession, which was oral, practi-

by the prosecution in his trial.
Gillette's confession detailed the
manner in which he threw Grace
Brown into Big Moose lake and
drowned her. He admitted the muir
der, the design and reconciliation. but
denied that he struck the girl with a
tennis racket or anything else. He
said the cut on her head was caused
by striking the side Of the boat In the
struggle. He had never denied his
responsibility for her condition.
Chaplain Herrick said: 1T was

PSYCHIC SUGGESTION

Being Used.

A reporter for the Banner was talk
ing yesterday with A. M. Torrance rel
alive to the use of mental control in
the treatment of disease. Mr.. Tor
rance does not like the word "hypno-
tism" preferring the term psychic sug-
gestion' as the word hypnotism is so
commonly used to refer to the feats of
operators in public halls by way of en-
tertainment and for profit and many
times resorting to trickery and fraud
in order to make good with the public.
Also In the minds of many 1t has no
good meaning as sometime they have
known 1t to be used by some ignorant
person not knowing what power he
was playing with and often producing
Ill effects.
So called hypnotism Is as old as
man but 1t has been dragged through
the mire and so smeared that the good

jects of evil know Its value but the
Christian has not had the courage to
take 1t and use 1t for good until re-
Gently. Arsenic has its value but In
