Historical Young Woman Saved
From insane Asylum by
Psychic Experiment.
IS TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER
Young Artist Who Offers Self for Ex-

Transferred MaIady by Means
of Hypnotism.

Paris.-A strange cure, of a psychic
nature, has just been achieved before
a number of doctors and a few experi-
mentors along the lines of ~psychiatry.
The patient was a young woman of
hysterical tendency, who for seven
years had been possessed with an anti
religious mania. During this time the
sight of a priest, the act of passing
near a church, the pronunciation of a
religious formula all have brought on
either attacks of violence or spells of
dumbness. The association of ideas
which precipitate these crises were of
the most fantastic kinda piece of

maine salad turned her mind toward

consisting in psychic r~e-education,
either in a state of waking or by super
hcial hypnosis, gave only results of
short duration. The Easter festivities
exasperated the patient TO the point of
frenzy. This decided Mr.. Mangin to
go to extreme measures. He began a
tireless search for a subject suitable
for the experiment of a transference
of the malady, with all its anguish and
strange manifestations. This was a
difficult task, for the subject must be
of such a delicate and perfect suggest
Utility as to be able later to be freed in
turn from these same miseries.
Nine. Georgette Abel, a charming
young artist, offered herself for this
delicate experiment with as much

years she had refused to utter under
all kinds of compulsion. In the mean
While, the young artist threw herself
on the floor and attempted to beat her
head against the wall, crying out in
the saline manner in which the patient
was wont to do. The latter, passing
from words to acts, touched a holy
medal, handled a crucifix and made o

state. Since this time the young wife
goes every day to church. She had a

NEW YORK FUTURES.

While the futures market continued
to advance today, the spot market
dropped half cent, due to a break
in the basis, according to cotton men.
A few weeks ago, before the new de-
liveries regulations went into effect,
the value of spot cotton was computed
by adding some 300 points to the near
est future quotation. Last week the
margin was reduced to 100 points and
today buyers received notice to reduce
1t again to SO points. May being
worth 25.O6 cents at the close on the
New York exchange, local spot was
quoted at SO points above that figure
or fraction over 25 1-2 cents.
The new law was intended to bring
the quotations on spots and futures

Negro Gives UpAfter
Staying of Another

Ed Lee Howard, alias Tinsley, color
ed, is locked in the county Jail, charg-
ed with the murder of David Ross, also
colored, following his surrender to
Sheriff Harvey Sunday afternoon.
The killing took place just outside
the carnival grounds Saturday night.
Officers Lee and Redmond were called
by a negro woman who had been with
Ross, to place at the roadside, where
he was lying unconscious. He grasped
an open knife in his hand, and had
been hit in the head with a brick or
rock. He was taken to the woman's
home where he died at o'clock Sun
day morning.
After the encounter Howard disap-
peared, but, hearing that Ross was
dead, came to the courthouse volun-
tarily Sunday evening.
Ross had been working as freight
handler and helper at the Central of
Georgia railroad, and Howard had
been employed as laborer at Souther
Field. The latter told the officers that
he had hit Ross in self defense.
