Since the beginning of the world,
each nation has had its heroes-men
who stood out above their fellows be-
cause Of peculiar ability in some par
ticuiar line-and none has been more
celebrated than the lover of freedom
who has sacrificed himself for the peo-
pie of his country.
The good men do is oft inferred with
their bones" wrote SHAKESPEARE. yet this
is not in every instance true, for in
the history of every people there is al
least one whose memory is reyered'
even though his deeds were but little
appreciated in his own time.
On March 4, ITS, there was born
in the city of Dublin, Ireland, a boy.
Afterwards named Robert Emmett. He
was but p years of age when he gave
his young life a martyr to the cause
of freedom, the freedom of nati@-.
which has never been realized, yet his
memory is green in the heart of every
true son OF Old Erin. and there are
millions of them the world over, who
today will meet and drink a toast to
his memory.
Emmett, when but slip of/a lad, de-
cided to study law, and for that pur-
pose entered Trinity college in Dublin
to pursue the studies of that profess
sion. However, in 1898, he was expelled
for melting a revolution among his
people, whose wrongs he saw and de-
sired to abolish. Those were bloody
times, yet the slogan of the Irishmen
Of today is who fears to speak of
1882"
Shortly after, when his life was
threatened the young law student,
whose oratorical powers, even at that

HE cure of mental arrangement
by the sudden pronunciation Of
a single word is the achievement
of DIR. Shepherd Ivory Franz, who is in
charge of the psychological labOra tory
of the government hospital for the in
sane at Washington. He succeeds by
working on the theory that there are
thousands of cases of insanity which
can be successfully treated if the cause
of the mental disease can be ascer-
tanned. and the explanation made 10
the patients that their unhealthy
thoughts have no foundation in fact
Insanity Caused by Fear.
There was sent to him recently a
young man who had an overpowering
fear Of open places. the outdoors or
any unenclosed place. and who was
under the domination of this terror 10
such an extent that he could be made
to leave his bedroom only by physical
compulsion
DR.. Franz took him into the treat
ment room" of the laboratory. where
there is very little light and no noise.
Seating the patient in a cOmfOrta BILE
easy chair, the doctor told him to re-
lax himself and try not to think OF
anything. After dead silence of sew
nounce with sudden emphasis single
words which he thought might pro-
duce in the mans mind some idea hav-
ing bearing on the cause of his de.
lusions- Every time he pronounced a
word. he leaned over and struck the
patiently sharply on the knee.
He went through more than 100 words
without getting any results. Finally,
when he said hole the man paused
a moment before making an irrele-
want answer. That pause encouraged
Franz. His next word. accompanied by
the tap on the knee was trench"
From this he got results, and gradu-
ally, with infinite patience he brought
out the story Of what had unseated the
patients mind.
II was this: One morning he had
been running at the top of his speed
TO overtake a moving street car. and
the chase had carried him half way
down the next block Just as he was
about to grasp the handle bar of the
car and swing himself aboard, he
looked down and saw yawning at his
feet a freshly dug sewer trench. One
more step and he would have had a
fall of eight feet, but he managed to
bring himself up short.
Patient Is Cured.
At first the experience had had no
appreciable effect. but such shocks to
the brain work gradually In few
weeks he felt an aversion to walking
in open fields Next he disliked to
cross the street, and this went so far
that he could not be prevailed TO do so
unless he was accompanied by guide.
After q while longer. he refused to
walk across the yard from his house
to that of his next door neighbor. and
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1910-03-04

the final stage of the disease was that
he was afraid TO leave his ROOM
DR.. Franz, having established all this
by his theory Of suggesting TO the
patient the real trouble by the use Of
words calculated to bring the mental
pictures back TO him, had comparative
~ little difficulty in explaining that the
dread was founded on fiction and that
there was really nothing to fear The
mans complete recovery followed. and
he again occupies a prominent place in
the business world.
Woman Fears Fire.
These peculiar cases of insanity are
classed under the general title Of pho
bias The man who feared the open
places was an agOraphobiac. Another
case Dr. Franz had was that of a pyro-
phobia-the fear of fire. This was a
woman who dreaded fire, and at varl-
Gus periods in the day ina gined that
she was envelOped in flames. At such
time she suffered as much as If she
had been actually on fire. On very
bright, sunny days, the briIIiancy of
the sun persuaded her that the world
was burning up. The doctor was sue
cessful with her on the third word
which was matches"
That reminded her dimly OF her baby
having been burned TO death as the
result of playing with matches Grad
ually. he made her understand that
the child's death was no reason for
her to think she was on fire or to be-
lieve that fire was TO be dreaded all
the time.
It is difficult 20 trace these "phobias'
TO their true cause because, as was
pointed out in the case of the agora-
phobiac the effects of the shock TO the
brain do not appear at once, but come
OF long afterwards The families Of
the patients are often unable to as
sign any reasons for the mental break
down
Mania for Washing Hands.
The asylum had one amusing case.
This was a mysopbObiac, a man who
feared dirt as ordinary people fail away
from pestilence. His mania for wash
ing his hands was never satisfied. and
the hospital attendants finally agreed
to let him go through these ablutions
eight times a day. On one occasion he
was allowed to go into the 1avatory
unmatched, and. when he was found 30
minutes later, he had used 20 towels.
1t was later discovered that his trou-
bic had come. from his seeing on the
street a man who appeared to be par
ticularly unkempt and dirty looking.
At the time this patients companion
had been a physician. who had pointed
out the probabilities OF the tramp
spreading disease Through some Pc
culiar kink in his brain. the patient
had dwelt on that remark and had al
lowed it TO become the dominant
thought in his life. resulting in his
having no other desire than to take
baths and wash his hands. While this

A FEW FACTS

New Orleans is accustomed to entertaining
strangers. Only few weeks ago 10000 Shriners
were accommodated In one week. and with the pro-
jected three to present hosteries approx
mating 800 rooms, and two new hotels of more than
1000 rooms capacity, We can soon handle comfort
ably 100000 more visitors daily.
We have the best street car transportation svs-
tenn in America
Nine great trunk lines radiatc toward every
population center in the United States, Canada. and
Mexico; ships sail to every great port of South Amer
lea and Europe
Within radius of 1,5O0 miles of New Orleans Is
Panama, Hayti, Maine, Quebec, Winnipeg, Idaho,
Arizona, Mexico and the Central American Repub-
Hcs-more than ninety million people altogether
who visit the World Panama Exposition at an
average cost of less than $1,000 each for transpora
ton.
Should you make the circle 900 miles from the
central point-New Orleans-you viii include ac-
cOrding TO the last census, sixtyve million people
who can for $1,000 average visit the Panama ceie-
bration-
Within 800 miles more than seventeen million
reside. Contrast with this San Francisco as Il point
available to the American people-tvo million with
in 800 miles, SIX million within 1000 miles, and ONLY
seventeen million within 1.5OOl
Less than five per cent of the people of the
United States could possibly pay their way or spare
the length OF time required to visit that distant city
More than half of our own United States can
come to New Orleans at a cost of about fifteen dol
lars eacl--two cents mile
Alaska and Panama are equi-distant from San
Francisco.
New York is nearer to San Francisco than is
Panama.
New toundland is nearer Panama than is San
Francisco So the Cape Verde Islands. on the
coast of Africa.
Should South Americans desire to visit San
Francisco they VIII come via New Orleans and travel
nearly 5000 miles overland before they can reach
that city.
1t takes ship three weeks to go from San Fran
cisco to Panama. From New Orleans We get to Pan
anna IN four and One-haIf days.
San Francisco Is bounded on the east bv the
Rockies, the north by the tall timbers on the
west by the Pacific Ocean, and on the south by the
Gulf of California. Only two million people were
recorded within 500 miles of the Golden Gate in
1900; seventeen and one-half millions by the same
record twelfth census, 1900 are within 500 miles
