ALCOHOLISM CURED
BY HYPNOTIC RECTOR.
Fifty Chronic D~runkards Lose
All Desire for Rum.

NEW YORK, April s.-More than
fifty chronic d~runkards. numbering
among them many well known bust
ness men, have been cured of their
habit by hynotism applied in the rec
tory OF st. Marks Church. on East
Eleventh street. by the Rev. DR.. Loring
". Batten, pastor.
Upon this list of remarkable cures
Dr. Batten yesterday based the state
nlent that the rzychotherapeutic
Method was infallible in cases OF
chronic drunkenness. He invited I'M
fortunates who are addicted TO drink
t. come to the rectory for the cure.
According 10 DIR. Batten's statement,
Of the fifty odd patients only two have
suffered relarees, and after further
treatment the cures in these two cases
became complete. In hardly any case,
DIR. Batten said. has q patient taken
a drop Of liquor after the first treat
luent.
DIR. Batten said that he had been
astonished at the certainty with which
a single treatment had enabled men
accustomed to drinking twenty and
thirty glasses of whiskey a day to stop
instantly.

PROTEST AGAINST
WOODEN PAVING
As DANGEROUS
Board of Works Decides on
Frequent Meetings to Hear
Public Complaints.

Upon the suggestion of COMMISSIONS
William Mnngle h members of the
Board OF Works will hold conferences
every Monday. Wednesday and Friday
afternoons at 1870 o'clock, at which
complaints will be received from the
public. Commissioner Mungle said that
he believed there are many things
that the commissioners might desire
TO discuss at the conferences, and they
would also serve the citizens who
might want some information on inn
p%ortant matters.
A number of residents in Ridge
street appeared before the board YES
terday and urged that the street he
paved from Park-avenue to Second ave-
nue., as had been suggested more than
a year ago. The board decided to give
immediate notice of intention TO that
effect.
1t was expected hat there would be
another appeal for wood pavement in
Market street. but no one appeared 10
advocate it. There were. instead. two
communications protesting against this
method Of paving. one from former
Judge Gottfried Kruger and another
from Schuyler 3. Jackson. They stated
that wood pavements are dangerous
Tor horses.
COMMUNICATIONS were also received
from Bernard NJ. Stanley. jr., and John
Franks. protesting against the chang
ing of the name of Governor street as
they claimed it would be injurious to
their business.
Chief Engineer Sherrerd suggested
that the board get a copy of .the.new
proposed laws for the Pennsylvania
subway in Park place. SO that its pro-
visions might be studied before any
action is taken. He also suggested
that public hearings be given on the
proposition.
Commissioner O'connell suggested
that 81 be charged for the issuing OF
all permits for repairing of sidewalks
II was referred to the law depart
ment.
Commissioner O'Connell also sug-
aested that sewer and water pipe con-
nections under supervision be made In
all streets before they are paved, so az
to prevent them from being torn up
after they are paved.

RAILROADS RAISE RATES
ON WOMEN'S BIG HATS.

WASHINGTON, April s.-Women's
hats nave been growing larger and
larger every year. They have also been
growing lighter and lighter in weight.
SO that now a woman's hat weighs less
and takes up more room than ten did
ten years ago. A freight or an express
car will hold only q tenth of the hats
it once did. and the carriers raised the
rates to make up the difference.
That is the answer OF the railroads
and express companies to the complaint
of the Millinery Jobbers' Association,
heard before the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The milliners say the
rates are too high.

This schedule, as filled in by you,
should be given to the enumeration when
he calls. As he has been given detailed
instructions, which 1t has not been pos
sible to put on this schedule, concerning
the exact manner in which each ques-
ton should be answered, il will be nee
essary for him to go over the answers
with you or with some member of your

additions or changes as are called for
by his instructions. All such additions
and changes should be made by the
enumerator on this schedule or on his
official schedule before he leaves the

filed in by you or not, should then, in
all cases, be given to the enumeration
to be forwarded to Washington with his
official schedule upon which the COR

Instructions TO Families.
Another section of the back page of
the schedule is devoted to brief in
structions to govern the head of the
family in filing the schedule. a third
section contains the complete text of
the Presidents census proclamation.
The word family" for census pur-
| poses. has a somewhat different appIi-
-. 49, . hoe -, t,,,1 -
usage. 1t means a group of persons
living together in the same dwelling
place. The persons constituting this
group may or may not be related by
ties of kinship, but If they live together,
| forming one household, they are con-
sidered as one family. A servant who
sleeps in the house or on the premises
is to be Included with the members OF
the family for which he or she works
Again, a boarder or ledger is to be IN
cluded with the members of the faml y
with which he lodges. but a person vine
boards in one place and lodges or rooms
at another will be returned as a mem-
Der of the family at the place where lie
lodges or rooms.
1t is pointed out by the census
bureau tina two or more families ma
occupy the same dwelling house WIN
out living together. If they occupy
separate portions of the dwelling nous
and their housekeeping is entirely
separate, they are to be returned as
separate families.
All the occupants and employees of a
hotel, boarding house or lodging house
if that is their usual place of abode
make up, for census purposes. a single
family. But in an apartment or tene-
ment house it is held that there vii
usually be as many families as there
are separate occupied apartments oil
tenements, even though use may b.
made of a common cafe or restaurant
The census family may likewise con
sist of a single person. A clerk In a
store who regularly sleeps there is tc
be returned as a family and the store
as his dwelling place.
