A STRANGE CAS A Beautiful Actress Makes Strange Charges Against a Doctor. SAID SHE WAS HELD PRISONEE. For Months by Hyponotic Influence oy the Doctor, but Refused to Leave Him When She Had a Chance. In New York one day last week a remarkable case of psychic phenomena was brought to the attention of the West Forty-seventh street police by a handsomely gowned woman. To the tation sergeantshe told a weird story of hypnotic infuence involving a pro minent osteopathic physician. The characters in the strange drama are Florence Arehie, an En glish actress, and Dr. Charles F Starken, who has delved into the mystic while treating a select circle of patients, among whom, be says are John D. Rockefeller and Senator Thomas Platt. Miss. Archie was accompgnied t< the station by another woman, wh< said she was Miss Gertrude Whalen of No. 63 West Forty-eighth street The latter explained the visit. "This womegn has been held a pris oner against her will in the home 0: one of New York's best known doo tors," she said. The Sergeant came from behinc his desk and stood beside Miss Archie She is a brunette with a Grecian type of face, ani of striking beauty. "Yes, it Is true," she said. "] have been held a prisoner by Dr. Charles F. Starken in the Albany apartmentf at Broadway and Fifty second street. I have been there foi some months and I have tried before to get away. T;:tursday afternoon the Doctor went out. and I determined to run away. "I don't know what the Doctor wil do if he ever fnds me now. I am afraid of him, aind whenever he is neal me I feel a power that I cannot de scribe. He has me hypnotized, anc when he sits down and talks with me I feel that I am absolutely powerless to do anything c.:nless he wills it. "He has held me in the Albany apartment against my will, and unti Miss Whalen came to see me Thurs day I simply was unable to *ll mj story to anybody, although 1 die manage to bretk the influence onc4 and get to a hospital. Whenever made up my mind to tell the nurs about my case 1 seemed to lose th a power of speech. "It is more ttan I can bear, and appeal to you to save me from thi man," she cried hysterically, holdini her arms toward the astonished ser geant. From. Miss Whalen it was learne that Miss Archie came to this coun try a year ago w~th an English theal rical company. Last September sh visited Dr. Starken, and recent] neighbors at the Albany believed the ~'V7T~Us aversion toireturning tt *'ddoc saaatment and they foun D: Starken at home. He flew into rage, but his passionate outbreak en< ed as abruptly as it began. Englan was then invited to'sit down, and tal ing Miss Archie's hand Dr. Starke led her to achair. She had been di flant, but the moment he looked int her eyes they beeame dull and all sig of hysteria left her. "What can I do for you?" said th doctor to England. "This woman accuses you of hold ing her here against her 'will. Sh says you have hypnotic power over he an'l $nat she Is a prisoner, We hay been asked to protect her. "You didn't say that about me, dii you dear," said the- little doctor In soothing tone. Miss Archie didn' answer. "This is not true. I have not kep her a prisoner. She can leave me an~ time she wants to. I won't stop he: at all," sala-Starken, Then, turning suddenly an acing the cowering gir he roared: "But if you do leave me, you know about that pistol in the next room. The moment yog go, I'll blow m.j brains out. Now go if you want to.' "Come ahead, miss, you'd bettel get out of here," said England. "Dc you want to leave him?" "No, I don't think so. I guess I'd better stay here,'' she replied, and the astonished detectivs left the apart. ment. When an "American" reportei called a short time later, lie was ad mitted by the little doctor himself, who said. "I do not hold her here. She says I hypnotize her. That is not so, for she is the one who hypnotizes me. 1 cannot expiain tnis thing. She is all mine and no one can have her. "I am an educated man and a keen snalyst of character, but I cannot determine what it is about her that so enthralls me. In my practic I have become acquainted with some of the most beautiful women in N~ew York, but to all of them I .i.h l n ; professional man until I met Miss Archie. The moment I saw hex something told me that she was the one destined to be mine, and since she came here we have lived happily. She is my wife and it is not true that I have hypnotized her. Do you want to see her?" Receiving an affirmative reply the doctor went to another room and In a moment returned with the woman, who is truly beautiful. "Are you a prisoner?" the doctor asked of her. "Why, no," she replied, for the first time noticing the reporter. "Did 1 not tell you you might go driving when you cared to?" ay to-dav that ron any?" said the doc tor, king at er with a quit smile. A "Yes, you said Miss Whalen might call, to see me." The police are in a quandary and do not knew what to do. Dr. Starken recently declared that i he had evolved a scheme to treat John al D. Rockefeller for his illness by plac- tl ing him In a series of electric and steam oven. He is known as an osteopath and mesmeric healer and a specialist in occult science. Since the i tour of Dr. Lorenz in this country he has also practiced bloodless surgery. tl Theodooroihope and Gooseneck Bill. 0 The "door of hope" has been ren dered so inviting in Texas that a ne gro rush bids fair to tear it clear off the hinges and smash its jam. Mr. a Theodoorofhope Roosevelt, in his ca pacity cf politician and presidential h aspirant, has joshed the negroes of Texas Into a condition of politicopho bia bordering frenzy. The situation is dimly suggested by a resolution coming from the "Headquarters of the State Central Committee of Roosevelt Clubs of Texas, Terrell Texas," reciting u that "we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal," and signed by ~seven negro and five white Republican leaders. The situation is further suggested by a the fact that Gooseneck Bill has been summoned forth as the Moses to lead . dusky Republicans out of the wilder ness. Gooseneck Bill's ambition is to govern Texas with a negro machine. A good proposition to start out with is that certain truths are held to be self evident, that all men are created b equal. The proposition has been tried b once or twice before, we believe, and t has given satisfaction. It is an es pecially happy one with which to in augurate the Theodoorofbope and Gosseneck Bill machine of Texas. Gooseneck Bill and a black-enameled sl m achine would undoubtedly appeal to Mr. Roosevelt. It would be the logical development ci his own idea-which, b by the way, is only a slight variation of the truths hcld to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. The Roosevelt idea is that all white men are created equal, but that colored men have a door of hope which gives t] them a little edge on the white men, s( especially in the matter of Federal h appointments in States where the ne- zA gro conve9tion vote is valuable to the p presidential aspirant who makes the ii appointments. a Senator Tillman Sick. p A dispatch from Washington says C Senator Tillman of South Carolina is very ill with a serious throat trouble. i His friends are much concerned as it is impossible for him to swallow and a a little liquid nourishment is all that t - be can take. A thorough examination was made of the Senator's throat Wednesday and disclosed the fact that an abscess had formed on the left tonsil. It is sid to be a very small one and the pbiysicians believe it can ha wdieved without' reat difficulty. t An operation will be rformed Thurs- ~ Vday morning. After t several days e "U ne a ho thb ratagain will " in its normal conditiori. The stat .ment was made at the senator's house Wednesday dnight that his condition is not dang erous and that he has only a very Sslight lever. He Has Skip~ped. SA few nights ago Mr. W. S. Cooper, who has been for several months the Sagent of the Southern Railway at Honea Path, quietly took his trunk ~ -from the hotel and -left for parts un Sknown. When the hotel-keeper in rquired a'bout him next morning it was Sfound that he had left money to pay his board bill, and, as far as your cor respondent can learn, he settled all C his bills in town and was straight in his accounts with the railroad com- C pany. It was reported that he left Swithout even resigning his position, but It is not definitely known whether 1 or not this report is true. There is ~ no reason known here why he should have left secretly, more than Is coni tained is an uncopfirmed, but persis tent, rumor that there Is the inevit able "woman in the case." itadium Goes Up. L. D. Gardner, importer of radium, 'I with offices in the Temple Court ct building, gives out the startling news ci that the price of radium has increased 84,200, 000 a pound in two days. The commercial rate lagt week was $8,400, 000, now It is $12,600,000. Mr. Gard ner belives the rate will be even higher. '"By April 1," he says, it will be almost impossible to buy ra dium at any figure. We now get all radium from Europe, this country having been unable to extract it so far. The increase in price will stim- cl ulate American prospectors. In Utah Colorado, Texas and other Western States, pitch-blended, carnotile, fer gusonite and uranite have been dis covered, but I have not heard that radium has been extracted from these articles." She Must Work. g A court at Coshocton, 0., has en- i joined a woman who is suing her hus. k; band for divorce from abandoning her household duties, ordering that she i must make his bed and cook his meals h during the pendency of the action. This would seem to be carrying gov- i enent by injunction to the limit. C.

Two others parely escaped with their lives. The men were employed we as section hands. One man lighted at his pipe near the cask of gasoline pr which exploded. ,O0 TIH USING OF FKTT LIER9. n Interesting Article on the Subject from the Southern Cultivator. We wish to discuss briefly fertiliz g, not fertilizers. We wish to call itention to the using of fertilizers iemselves. We gather, from our numerous in Lfires upon this subject, that very any do not fully understand this aportant part of farming. There seems to be an Impression iat we use fertilizers for the benefit I the soil. This is a great mistake. 'hey are intended to help-tbe crop d not the soil. Certain element of plant food are ade soluble and therefore quickly vailable to growing plants. We call iese fertilizers. * We use them to elp make the crops grow more rapid , and mature earlier. We use them because they are not >1 food, but plant food. Now we see at once that a fertilizer ) be good must be such that the rst plant will take it up. Hence we ie, shuald use them, so as to get the ickest returns. WHY DO WE FERTILIZE? Mainly on account of our ignorance Ad laziness. We don't kow that ie same Ingredient of plant food hich we are buying, already exists 1 the soil in abundant supply. Or if e know this we are not willing to do 2e work necessary to get these from 2e soil. We find that by scratching the soil 2ree or foar inches and using these ought helps, we can force a fair crop. [ence we prefer to sit about Idle all 3e fall and winter, and then rely up a the fertilizer to make the crop. If we break the soil deep and pul rize it very finely, it will supply the ame things we buy. But that means ork, and most of us are lazy. By continuous bad preparation and id cultivation, and the stimulus of rtilizers, we greatly injure the soil. 'hat is we decrease its productive ower. SHALL WE CONTINUE To VWTHEM? It will pay us to do so, if we use 2em right. Do all we can to get our >1 in productive shape, and then elp it out by judicious use of fertili ,rs. We should buy ai- heaply as ssible. To do this we must get the igredients and do our mixing, as far 3 possible. Buy the phosphorus and tash and ammonia each in the heapest shape. Then mix with reference to the crop re are expecting to use it upon. Plants all use much. the same food nd in very much the same propor ion. IEospboric acid, potash, ammonia re the ingredients the crops need. ome need more of one, and some 2ore of another of these. As the Southern farmers raise all he cotton seed, they doyaot need to muy more nitrogen. gi properly taniled, the cotton seed will supply his ellement, at least as much of it s is needed after weh - ken ca egetation. The phosphoric acid and potash we :an not raise. We must work this >ut of the soil or buy it. Deep plowing, rotting of crops, trowing grasses and clovers and peas and cattle will soon supply all the elements of fertility. But until this a done, we must buy acid and kainit ir muriate of potash. If we are fertilizing the grain crops, ,nd a large number of truck crops, uch as cabbage and tomatoes, then re need some ammonia. For all of the legumenous crops we eed only acid and potash. For cot on, we need a very small quantity of f ammonia. If the previou~s crop was peas or lover or Bermuda grass we do not eed any ammonia for cotton or corn ut if the land has been badly hand ~d or planted In ordinary crops we 1l1 need some. In writing to inquire to fertilize it not necessary to describe your soil. he soil Is the work-shop, and varies o much to enable any one to pre ~ribe for it. FORMULAS. Of course these are merely guides. ou can vary them to suit your cir umstances. But they will fit most ses. For cotton: Acid phosphate.'.1200 pounds C. S.

If the soil is worn and washed and in, and lacks vegetable matter and tmus, then use more C. S. Meal. If you wish to use live cotton seed ten use 2 pounds in place of one of S. Meal. The quantity of any of these to be ed, depends upon how much crop u wish to make and how much mon you are willing to Invest in the op. __ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The naval board a Washington nts 68 battleships.

Nathan B. Moore of Bingham is one of the few old-time trappers woodsmen remaining in Maine. In eighty-fifth year, he is still hale -aa hearty and is now busy making birel bark canoes, in which fast disappear ing art he is an adept. Erver since the age of 14, when he killed his first moose and begn his career as a trapper and woodsman, be has spent most of his time in the woods, depending upon the forest for his support. Many of his concluslo based on his long experience con dict common beliefs. For instance, he asserts that cariboi did not leave Maine because of scare Ity of fcod, as is commonly supposed, but rather because they were driven away by the pugnapity.of the buck deer. The caribou, he says, is a ful animal, while the buck deer is the opposite. As the deer in they pestered the caribou more an more until, finally, Ve latter sough another home. Then, again, Mr. 3Moore says are four distinct varieties of moose- i Maine, a fact not generally known. the long-legged moose, the gray moo54 the black moose and the bell moose-' and a record of 276 moose killed given him somewhat of ap opportuilltr to Investigate. Most of these were run down on snowshoes,' and. Moore says he has never seen a M that he could not catch with right eqn ditions on the first trial, although some would run five and some twenty miles. And, finally, Mr. Moore believes the bull moose to be the most dangerous animal in the woods. "I can truthfully say," he says, "that the danger of a conflict with a bull moose has not been magnified. They are the most dangerous aninal in th Maine woods. "The moose is not only cunning, a. vicious fighter and revengeful, bu4A combined with this, he has enormons - power and the quickness of a cat. can kick with his hind feet, strike withI his front feet and wield his head like J. an Indian war club when opportunity offers. Even the cows should bo' avoided." Here is a piece of advice from hid to hunters and sportsmen as to belnt careful about shooting in the woods: "I have hunted the forests for ove seventy years, but I never allowed mya. self to take my rfle to my face until I saw enough to know whether it wa* man or wild animals that I was pro- - paring to shoot at. "Often when I was away in the wild forest, where I could not thin of a man's being, I would hear . e thing coming that I was sure a wild beast, and I would pull back *o hammer of my rifle and step behind a.' tree and wait, and presently theap boughs would part and out would ste a man." He gives his game record as 7 ~4 moose, 200 caribou, 100 bear and miU game without number. The Queen, the new turbine stem ship built at Dumbarton for the~SouhA eastern and Chatham Railway, to be used in the channel service, is 310 feet in length, d.0 feet broad and 25 feet is depth. In her recent trials of the ' Firth of Clyde she developed a speed t of 21.76 knots, and wlien she was tray. eling ahead at the rate of twenty knots it was found possible to stop her dead in two and one-half times her own length. . The Queen is the first turbine pas senger steamship to be placed on the regular English channel service. Bhe will make the trip from Dover to Ca lals, a distance of 24.2 statute mI, in less than an hour. The Sm~ an express steamship on the sa route of forty. years ago, had a speed on official trial, of 15.3 miles per hour. The Nord, built in 1898, which Is now running, although showing a trla speed of 21.5 knots, developed a echedk ule service of only 15.8 knots. Owing to the shallow harbor at Calais, the vessels of this line are limited to a. draught of ten feet. A Will and Three Weddings.. In Warsaw recently a banker died and left his entire fortune to which ever of his three nieces-daughters of three different brothers and sisters-. married first. The parties interested in this provision were present when the will was read, and all of them took immediate steps to secure the prse.-. By procuring special licenses and tk ing other unusual measures it. was found that the earliest possible time i for a wedding to take place was at 8 o'clock on the morning of the tenth, day after the will had been .read. Be fore noon on that day all three nieces appeared at thle nptary's office withJ certificates showing that they had aff become wives between 8 and 8.15 o'clock that morning, though not one of them had even been engaged when the will was read. All three claimed the fortune, and the courts solved the difficulty by dividing It into equaV parts. We venture to say that if It werd known from practical experlenee that the heinous crimes which provoke lynching would be punished by gere legal process within ten days thes rope and fagot would disappear from cur- a rent history/And in no part of I~e country would it disappear sooner In the Solithern States. Speedy Ju~e In Alabama, or in Illinois, or on Bs ton Common, is the sole remedy for lynching, so long'as the two races re main together and so long as one pro. duces black demons and the other la of Saxon and Baltic blood.-Atlanta6 POSTOFFICES OWNED By Senators and Representatives Who U Are Involved in Scandal. XONEY VALUE OF "IJFLUENCE." Another Chapter in Last Summer's Postoffice Investigation. Dif p] ferent Forms of Crooked o Business Let Out. Another chapter in the postoffice investigation of last summer was re vealed Thursday when Chairman Overstreet of the house committee on postoffices and post roads laid before the house of representatives a closely printed document of 218 pages re counting the instances on file in the postoffice department in which mem- V bers of the senate and house of repre- it sentatives have used their "influence" fi with officials of the postoffice depart- s( ment, with more or less success, to se- 0o cure increases in t'ue salaries of post- d, masters, additional clerk hire and ad- p vantageous leases for buildings for a postoffice purposes. t The report was made by the unani mous vote of the members of Mr. s( Overstreet's committee, in response C to a resolution calling for the informa- ei tion. introduced by Representative n Hay of Virginia. As the information la accompanies the report, the commit- tl tee recommended that the resolution ri lay on the table. Three cases are set t] forth in which members of congress t] own buildings which' are leased to the government for postoffice purposes. el The members involved are J. W. it Wadsworth of New York; J. D. Bow- il erstock, of Kansas, and Geo. L. Lilley ri of Connecticut. n The history of 161 cases is given in ol the report wherein members of con- w gress figure in getting authorization for clerk hire in excess of the amount ei the office in question was entitled to. .w Many of these increases were only t temporary, and have been discontin- d: ued. % d Among those whose "influence" c< seemed good with the postotbce de partment are Senator Clay and Rep- n resentative Griggs of Georgia; Sena- u tor Pitchard secured an increase for 'p clerk hire of Greenville, N. C., from ic $70 to $150 per annum, whi-h on Dec. a: 1, 1903, was discontinued altogether. ei He also secured an increase from $40 v to $150 for Wake Forest, N. C., which v was reduced to the former amount li Oct. 1, 1903. h Senator McLaurin appears for an increase in South Carolina. Repre sentatives Brownlow and Gibson se cured several increases in Tennessee which have been reduced since. Six G out of 11 cases in Virginia are down F to the credit of Representative Swan- 'E on, while Park Agnew's name also h ippears for others in this State.
