LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE DANGERS OF HYPNoTIsM.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: out OF a vivid although long as,
experience desire most heartily 20 second
your motion of to-day that the practice OF
hypnotis-n by an 'unlearned person who
knows nothing Of medical or surgical sci
enee" should be at once and vigorously PRO-
hlbited by law.
In student days. having picked up ths
secret Of L from lecturers. practised hyp-
uotism on fellow students, Sometimes in
physical control only. somstines IN the
mental state'-anG indeed sometimes. IN
cases os nervous notions or habits. sppar-
emily quite beneheiaIly. But one evening
one Of the subjects Unexpectedly put an ex-
aggerated Interpretation upon notion that
had been impaired. and IN uRcontrollablS
terror and CONSERVATION rushed out on q

heels than sense OF head. soon overlook.
and. by the usual snap OF word and strcke.
arrested ard restored him--thEs happily
averting quite likely fatal results. That
ended this "operator's" operating.
AS you suggest. not everybody should Do
allowed TO hypnotlze and anybody ought 70
DO II with extreme discrimination and re-
serve. The secret lies IN getting your own
idea and impulse into the mysterious nerve

ahead Of his own. and while. as you fnti-
mate. this may be occasionally beneficial lf

vous mechanism, distracts. weakeus, IN

HUDSON CITY.

Another possible greater city seems
likely 10 be spoiled in the making. There
are indications that practical considera-
tions will outweigh that patriotic pride
which makes every lnhabitant or a
municipality glory in the addition OF an
other citizen. without any special regard
10 whether the newcomer will be of any
value 10 the community IT not. Civic
pride is probably 10 greater degree re-
sponsible for the general tendency
toward consolidation Of small villages
into larger cities than are wisdom and
good judgment.
On the other side OF the Hudson lies
a stretch Of land which TO the New York
er is known as Jersey. In it are not only
Jersey City and Hoboken, known 10
every one. but North Bergen, Union Hill.

governments. IL is this multiplicity or
municipalities that is just now bothering
the good people across the Hudson Many
OF them think it would be nice 10 tear

q new one which will bring all within
itself Inasmuch as the little cities all
dovetail into one another, there IS
somewhat general impression that one
government would be better than 1ive
for them. But against this Weehawken
raises her voice ia protest. However
pleasant the name OF Hudson City"
might be as Z sweet morsel 10 roll I'M
derneath the tongue; some OF the prac-
teal citizens point out that Weehawken
would have to pay pretty dearly for its
share of the honor.
Neehawken, aside from having been
the scene Of the famous duel between
Hamilton and Burr. is a thrifty COM
munity, with plenty of Improvements in

able taxable property. and il is rumored
that about all they could turn in 10 the
united city would be large and healthy

with only per cent Of the voting pOpu-
latiOn of Hudson City IL would furnish
two and a half times that amount Of
taxable property. II is possible. too, that

an increase of 81 per cent when the

by the traffic statements of the railroads,

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The high school stationery, which will
be sold for the benefit of the Washington
fund, has arrived.
The annual reception given by the
sophomore class to the freshmen will be
held tonight Halloween games will be
played.
The football team will go to Keene to-
morrow to play Keene high school. Keene
and Bellows Falls played tie game Sat-
urday. Brattleboro expects to make a
good showing. If possible the team will
go in automobiles.
The first of a series of four lectures un-
der the auspices of the class OF 1910, was
given last night by Prof George N. Cross.
The lecture, which was given in the high
school room, attracted an audience of
about 1875. Mr.. Cross took for his sub
ject, washington, the beautiful capital
of great nation" and beginning with its
founding he traced it's history and con-
nected many of the views with noted men
and great historical events. He has
pleasing voice and way of speaking, and
he held his audience until the last words.
1t seemed to the listener that he was
really walking along Pennsylvania ave-
nue., hearing Daniel Webster's great
speech, or listening in silence to the pro-
ceedings of the supreme court. The lee
ture was particularly interesting to mem
bers of the senior class in view OF the
Washington trip in the spring. towards
which the proceeds of the lecture course
will go, and there was a strong patriotic
appeal to all Americans. The next lecture
will be given Thursday, Nov. II. The
subject, "Historic castles Of England" is
said to be one of the best which Mr.
Cross has ever given

Tuesday evening at z8O at thu Baptist
parsonage.
The Judson Mission circle will hold its
first regular meeting for the season at
the parsonage at p. m. Tuesday, Nov. 2.
A cordial invitation Is extended to all
women and girls whether they are mem
bers or not, to attend.
The annual meeting of the Baptist
church will be held Saturday of next
week. Attention is called to it at this
time in order that the members may be
able to plan to attend and listen to the
record of the work of the year closing
and to help in planning for another
years work.
Friday saw the close of the evangelistic
services. The attendance at the last
service was large and the interest was
deep, and 1t was with very deep regret
that the people bade Mr.. Stair and Mr..
Reynolds goodbye. Mr.. Stair was favor
ably known to a few when he came, but
Mr.. Reynolds was a stranger to every
body But both went away having gained
the friendship of very many who wish
them the highest success in Townshend,
where they are now holding meetings,
and in all the other fields In which they
may labor in the future. individuals,
churches, and the community have re-
ceived blessing from the work of the
past two weeks under their leadership.
That those who attended the meetings
wished that a large amount might be
raised to hand to Mr.. Stair was evident.
And while they felt that Mr.. Stair, who
makes himself responsible for Mr.. Rey-
nolds's salary, deserved very much more
1t was a satisfaction that, after paying
other expenses, 1t was possible to put into
his hands nearly 500.
