That was three months ago. Yester-
day Mr. Van Daren saw her in her
home in New York and found her on-
tiroly recovered. it was after his re-
turn to Norwslk that I was enabled to
obtain an explanation of Mr. VanDor-
en’s system or theory of mind cure.
SYSTEM OPPOSITE OF HYPNOTISM.
Although an orthodox believer in the
Bible and its teachings. Mr. Van Doren
,,rejacts absolutely the thought of faith
care. It has been said that he profess-
es to heal by the laying on of handrg
butitisnotso. Hehssnoresortta
hypnotlsm. which. however, he says
Seat suggested to him the true course
of mind cure. His system, he says, is
the asset opposite of hypnotism. which
might be effective. only that the "pow-
er" is applied in the wrong direction.
The underlying principle upon which
Mr. Van Doren relies is that of a dual
mentality in every individual. it is
upon the submerged or sub-conscious
mentality, that which stands on guard
during slumber. that he exerts his in-
fluence. This subconscious mentality
is, according to Mr. Van Doren. located
in the solar system. and is responsible
at" the actual physical condition of the
7. ,
in diagnosing a case. Mr. Van Doren
resorts to what appears to be a trick.
but what, he says. is common sense.
He simply places the palm of the pa-
tient's right hand against his car. It
acts. he says. as a telephone. and he is
able to listen to the circulation of the
blood and to the fiow of nervous ener-
gy. By this simple device. Mr. Van
Daren asserts his ability to locate and
understand the trouble. Having done
that, thought transference and thought
infiuence. acting always upon the sub-
merged mentality. accomplishes a cure.
DRUGS AND EXERCISES USED.
Certain muscular exercises are re-
sorted to. and Mr. Van Doren also goes
so far as to”accept the services of
rage. Indeed. one of his closest friends
in Norwalk is Dr. J. G. Gregory. who
has become his pupil with the idea of
making the mind cure a part of his
etession
pr .
It is Mr. Van Doreu's argument that
metaphysical therapeutics are based
upon laws that may extend beyond the
domain of pure intellect. but is caps-
bla of scidntllc adaptability. He iu~
dignstiy discards the idea that metv
physical healing is in any way skin to
the mystical, occult or magical. He
says that he is simply a minister of
the Gospel of Christ. who believes that

This is one at
redect the theory of
t
f i sure.
Whatever may be said for or against
his methods. the fact remains that he
has "persuaded" many who have been
sufferers to suifer no longer. Mrs.
George R. Howell. national lecturer at
the W. C. T. lJ.. credits Mr. Van Daren
with saving her life. At Norwalk is
Mrs. Mark Stevens. who was long treat-
ed for a cancerous growth on the left
breast. It would be impossible to con-
vince her that Mr. Van Doren does not

U der his mental treatment the can-
cer eft her, and there is now hardly a
scar to show where Al. was. Elisabeth
Taylor. a nine-year-old child. was rid
of the ricketts by Mr. Van Doren with
only three applications of will power.
Charles Byington, of East Norwalk.
believes that one interview with Mr.
Van Doren cured him of a chronic case
of consumption of the bowels. Miss
Edna Allen. also of East Norwslk, was
brought from what was thought to be
her deathbed to a state of perfect
health.
One of the most enthusiastic believ-
ers in Mr. Van Doren and his power to
heal the ill is E. H. Rotchkiss. manager
in New York of the Hammond Beef
Company. Mr. Hotchklss lives in a
beautiful home at No. 4 Arch street.
Norwalk. where he was seen last night.
He said:— ' t
“Mr. Van Doren has removed a deep
prejudice against him from my mind.
i have had too many proofs not to be-
lieve that be can do what he says. i
long suffered from severe headaches
that were periodical in their nature.
He has freed me from them. I have
seen him bring a subject from a state
of collapse bordering on death to com-
plete health in a time so short as to
make it seem like a miracle. Many
scoff at him. becauu they do not know
him. He is a wonderful man. who
must some time receive from the world
the credit due him."
MrJVan Daren is about forty ylnrs
old. He,was born in Chicago. educat-
ed in Colgate University. and began his
work as a pastor in San Francisco. Af-
ter nine years of successful work there
he brought his fami East. and for
eight years occupied t d pulpit of the
First Baptist Church. in Albany. He
left there to accept a call to Norwalk.
Dr. J. G. Gregory informed s Senti-
nel reporter this afternoon. in refer-
snce to the allusion to Dr, V
._ e '
he had barely a speaking acquaintance
with Mr. Van Doren. and that at no
time had they had any conversation.
Rev. Van Doren said he was in New
York yesterday and was surprised to
find himself written up. He felt very
much put out about the allusion to
Dr. Gregory in the article. as it is un-
true.

John . Smith. of Norwaik. and

who are periodically arrested for deal-
ing in policy slips. met their fate again
last night in the vicinity of the South
Norwalk depot. They were charged
with runnl a pocket policy game.
The men ve been in the habit for
u long time of writing policy books
during the day time and paying from
slips procured in Bridgeport. Each
man had a route over which he went
daily, taking the money and plays of
the policy fiends. Wright went to
Bridgeport late each afternoon and re-
turned on the 7:55 train. Smith would
then meet him at the depot here and
get the slips which Wright obtained
from a Bridgeport policy man. Each
man would then go over his route and
pay such hits as had been made on his
book. Numerous complaints have been
made to the police re rdlng the men.
Chief of Police Von-ruer decided to
act again last night. ahd watching his
opportunity as soon as the two men
sepa after exchanging slips and
man y at the depot. the chief. with
Ofilcer Hall. arrested Wright. and Cap-
tain of Police Gladstone and Officer
Pennington arrested Smith. Both men
had in their possession numerous pol-
icy slips and a book of plays.
The cases fine before Judge Frost
in the South Nor-walk side of the Town
Court. and were continued until Tucs-
day. the iDth inst., at 9 o'clock. Each
of the accused is under a 8200 bond to
appear at that time for trial.

The demand for desirable propert%

a fifty-foot lot in West Washington
street. adjoining the store occupied by
Grocer Charles E. Seymour. to Herman

stood that the price paid was sroo a

hood oi 200 feet deep and contains a
house. for many years occupied by Se-
lectman James A. Brown. but new con-
ducted as a boarding house.
it is stated that Krleger d: 00., who
have been eminently successful in busi-
ness since Mr. Krleger established him-
self here a quarter of a century ago.
will erect a building that will be an or-
nament to that section of Washington
street. and a perpetual monument to
the enterprise and sagacity of the firm.
Possessed of ample capital. they will
not be hampered in carrying forward
.their plans and giving to South Nor-
walk a store that will rival. if it does
not excel], stores of like character in
other cities of the state. Thcir ex-
tensl . 'lmslnesa. which continues con-
stant to grow. demands a place for
expansion that the present store docs
not afford. and the building they pro-
pose to erect is thus made necessary.
Samuel Greeasteln. junior member of
the firm. told a,Sentlnel reporter that.
while the plans for a structure to be
«acted on the site were not yet under
way. it couldbe stated that a block.

would be built.
The first floor will be all one store.
thus affording the largest frontage for
show windows of any store in South
Norwalk. The store will be occupied
for the firm's business. A series of
nrchways will form distinct compart-
ments which will be devoted to mll~
linery. cloaks. ladies" furnishings. etc.
affording a distinct place for each fea-
ture of the business.
The Brown house now on the proper-
ty is to be sold and moved away from
the business section of the city. This
will probably not be done until next
spring. when active work will be com-
menced o the cellar and foundations
for the w building. it will be of
brick. a modern structure in every
sense. and built more especially to ac.
commodate the business of the firm.
The two upper floors will be used for
office or apartments for family use.
The. entrance to these fioors will be on
the west end of the block.
