The Use of Suggestion.

Detroit.-The spread of Eddyism
and the Emmanuel movement merely
emphasizes the fact that we have an
other potent weapon at our command"
said Dr. William H. Heffenbach of
New York, in his annual presidential
address to the National Society of
Physical Therapeutics, affiliated with
the American Institute of Homeo-
pathy. The use of suggestion to
patients" continued the doctor,

Enoch Edwards, a noted patriot, the
first public celebration of the Declare

the evening of July s, 1875.

are to be believed several of the party
wended their way through the shady
avenues and across the smooth lawn
to the Uncovered summer-house, with
trangely-shaped, notwithstanding
bundles tucked under their arms,
which they placed carefully upon the
ground as they sat contentedly down
to do justice to the bountiful spread
which their hospitable host had pro-
vided. Rare old wines and choice
viands of every description were
brought forth. AS the delicate NOR
sells disappeared and course after
course was brought on, the party
warmed up to the occasion.
Adams and Jefferson, ordinarily
stately and dignified, threw reticence
to the winds and Joined heartily in
the hilarious fun. Speeches, any of
which would have been the making of
an ambitious orator, were made and
heartily applauded
When the stars commenced to
twinkle forth their right to rule and
the moon sailed high above the tree
tops, it is said that mild, sober Frank
lin actually sent knowing wink at
stately Jefferson, who responded by

Telling them the proper way to put
Shingles on house. He said:
THE old rule was to allow six inches
pf the shingles to show to the wealth
err but that is too much. You should
allow not more than four inches to

Farmyard Game

This game, if carried out properly,
will cause great amusement. One of
the party announces that he will whis-
per to each person the name of some
animal, which, at a given signal. must
be initiated as loudly as possible. In
stead, however, of giving the name of
an animal to each, he whispers to all
the company, with the exception of
one, to keep perfectly silent. To
this one he whispers that the animal
he is to initiate is the donkey
After short time, so that all may
be in readiness, the signal is given.
Instead of all the party making the
sounds of various animals, nothing is
heard but loud bray from one un-
fortunate member of the company.

GEN. w. J. PALMER DEAD.
Founder of Colorado Springs Passes
 Quietly Away.

Colorado Springs, March 1S.-General William J. Palmer, founder of Colo rado Springs. died at his country seat Glen Eyrie, west of the city late to- day.
 Death came as a result of fall from a horse in October. 1906. which result ed in breaking his back. General Palmer often has been called the fore most citizen of Colorado. He leaves an estate valued at $15,000.000.
 General Palmer was distinguished as A soldier in the civil war but his great est fame came as railroad builder. Immediately after having been mus tered out of the service in 1865. Gen eral Palmer, at the request of a CO., terie of Pennsylvania Railroad officials. was elected Secretary and Treasurer of the Kansas Pacific Railroad Company. which was later absorbed by the Union Pacific.
 General Palmer remained President of the Denver and Rio Grande system and Its directing personality in Au- gust. 1883. He resigned to give great CT attention to his railroad enterprises in Mexico, the Mexican National Rail- road, but he continued to be President of the Rio Grande Western Railway until April, 1891. when he withdrew from personal participation. In con- nection with his inception and con- struction of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, General Palmer conceived and founded on a beautiful site near the eastward base of Plke's Peak the city of Colorado Springs.

POSSIBILITY OF INTERVENTION America and Mexico
 May Act. IN INTEREST OF PEACE Central American Question Now Under Consideration. The Naval strength of the United states in the Vicinity of Niea-
 r.gua Will Soon Be
 Increased

Washington, March 13.-The possi- bility of joint intervention by Amer lea and Mexico in the interest of peace in Central America. is believed to be now under serious confederation.
 The question at issue Is the exact extent of the obligation imposed upon two larger republics under the terms of the last Central American peace pact. America and Mexico were not parties to this agreement. although they were largely instrumental in bringing it about.
 tThe five Central American republics agree to refrain from hostilities and submit any quarrels between them selves to arbitration. Such agresme nj s have been made before, but they have never had any very great binding force. To remedy that fault In pre- ceding agreements. in the case of the last convention, 1t was made the duty of America and Mexico to see that its terms were lived up to. It will be un- der that stipulation. if at all. there- fore. that intervention will be based.
 The morning brought no new devel- opments in this interesting situation. The control of the cable by President Zelaya makes 1t impossible for the Navy Department to secure news from 1 the coast towns except by the use of naval vessels. and 1t is probable that if the difficulties of communication continue, a line of naval scouts or tor pedo boat dispatch carriers will be in- stalled.
 A natural outcome of withdrawal of American Secretary Of Legation Greg ory of Managua would be the retire. ment from Washington of Senor Es- pinosa, the Nicaraguan Minister to this capital. But, of course. he would not be likely to act on his own volitton In a matter of such importance and so far has had no instructions from his Government.
 The naval strength of the United States in the vicinity of Nicaragua will soon be increased by the presence of the Dubuque at Bluenelds. The Dubuque sailed from Guantanamo yes- terday for that port. The Marietta. at -.> same time was ordered to leave

ROOSEVELT WILL BE SAFE
 IN AFRICA, SAYS MINISTER

Chicago, March 13.-Former Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt will be as safe in the tungles of Africa as he would be on the streets of an Ameri- can city. according to the Rev. Joseph Coyle. member of the Roman Cath O. lie missionary order of Josephite Fath- CTS, who has just returned here from his work In Uganda.
 Tt Is ridiculous" hs said, "to repre- sent Mir. Roosevelt's trip as dangerous. The natives are doci1e and sensible. At Kampa a few dozen white men live among 60,000 blacks. The sound of the angelus Is heard throughout the land. Few white men have been afflicted with the sleeping sickness. The dan 'ger from black water fever Is worse. Mr. Roosevelt should exercise great care with regard to his son.
 "As to wild beasts, well, have travelled hundreds of miles through the forest on donkey with no other weap- on than an umbrella. They will prowl around your tent at night but they dare not attack you as a rule. Only the crocodile Is dangerous. It Is well not to go In swimming"

 Kansas City Southern Meets In Part
 Rate Promised by M. K. and T.
 Kansas City, March 13-The Kansas City Southern Railway Company today made cut in freight rates from Gal weston to Kansas City to meet In part the rate of $1.10 promised by the M K and T. Railway from New York to Oklahoma City. The latter rate was alleged by local merchants to be dis criminative against Kansas City
 The Kansas City Southern proposes to reduce its rate between Galveston and Kansas City To a figure that will make the total rate from New Orleans to Kansas City via the Atlantic Coast route and Galveston accord almost pre- cisely with che M. K. and T. rate from New York to Oklahoma City. via Gal weston.
 Columbus Halle. Vice President of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas Rail- road. who made the concession to the Oklahomans, met a committee of local shippers at the Commercial Club here today. MT. Halle disclaimed any de- sire to discriminate but he did-not offer to meet the rate for Kansas City The meeting then adopted a resolution de- claring In effect that as long as the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad maintained the proposed new rate and did not meet 1t for local merchants that that railroad would secure' no business from Kansas City shippers
