' ' ' .OURING BAD HABITS.
A Chicago svengall Performs Wonderful
.0 Deeds With His Power. " .
Chicago has brmght to light the
most marvelous hypnotist of recent
times, if the powers his admirers
claim are his really exist. .
.On the front of a modest little cot—
tage in the pretty temperance 'suburb-
of Englewood, just outside of Chica-
go, is the sign: “Hypnotism. Cures
liquor, morphine, tobacco, cigarette
and all useless habits. Stammering
in speech, catching of the breath, etc.
[ remove all ideas that cause trouble.”
Inside of the cottage is a young man,
from appearance scarcely out of his
teens and with face and hands almost
girlish in their delicacy, who is said
to possess the almost supernatural
powers which enable him to do all that
he claims he can on the board sign
. outside.
' Charles D. Brouyette is his name,
and he is a product of the Western me-
tropolis. He works on the'basis that a
vicious habit is the result of an idea
in the possessor'shead that he wants
to do the thing that the habit'calls for.
if you remove the idea you kill the
habit, And that is what he does-—
takes away the idea.
At a recent demonstration one of the
patients was a young man who was an
'nveterate smoker. So firm a hold did
the habit have on him that he con-
sumed 150 cigarettes a day. The Pro-
fessor placed him in a chair and stood
before him. _ There was no mistaking
{he genuineness of the hypnotic sleep.
The hypnotist told him that the cig-
arette habit was injurious and he
would not want to smoke again. Upon
seing awakened he was offered a cig-
arette, but refused. and showed
Iligns of disgust at the sight of what
had before been his favorite form of
pleasure.
Another patient was a man whoSe
76d nose and bleared face spoke very
plainly of his love for-liquor. He was
put to sleep and the hypnotist told him
of the evils of intemperance, and com-
manded him to hereafter not indulge
his passion for drink. He was then
brought out of his trance and when
whiskey was given him it made him
sick. '
A very similar case was that of a
man whose especial vice was chewing
plug tobacco. The same formula of
telling him how bad a habit the one of
3hewing was was gone through. After
being revived he. could not bear‘the
sight of plug tobacco. and even to
:09k at it from a distance nauseated
aim.
Thercmarknble part of these extra-
ordinary exhibitions is that the pa-
;ients are still as averse to their old
lflbllS as they were just after coming
wt of the hypnotic sleep. They have
no desire to return to the use of them,
lIlll can account for it in no other way
:han that the Professor did wh'at he
:aid he could—removed the ideas from
:heir minds—New York Journal.
:: )1 m She Asked Too Much.
They stood silently in the moonlight.
He had told her goodby sixteen times.
ind yet was he loath to go.
He loved her. and she loved him—
So he thought.
She had not told him so;
'u- very young man.
“Choliy.” she lisped, “there is one
thing 1 would crave. May I trust
70a?"
Cholly's tackles tightened, and he
iooked down into her lovelit orbs with
the calm resignation of one who was
willing to give up all for the woman
1e loved.
“Trust me?” he asked. "0h, cruel
me, why ask such a question? What
:an I do to prove my constancy?”
“Get a hair cut."
The words fell upon a dank, moon be-
;meared atmosphere with a dull,
leathly rattle. .
Cholly’s arms dropped to his side,
and he walked to the “front gate,
:peechless. There he hesitated.
He who who hesitates is lost.
To the east was the barber shop. To
the west, the football field. With throb-
Ding heart and heaving bosom the
mung man gazed to the east and then
:0 the west.
“I will not!" he exclaimed, as he
:hook his fist at heaven.
And then he walked away with an
lbandoned air. His face was to the

DEATH or light KING
Theodore A. Havemeyer Expires Sud-
denly in New York City.
ILLNESS THOUGHT TRIVIAL.
(Developed a Serious Turn, However, and
the Millionaire Died Before All the
Llembers of His Family Could
Reach Him—His Career.
New York, April 27.—The0dore A.
Havemeyer, the vice president of the
American Sugar Refining company,
popularly known as the Sugar trust,
and a prominent leader of New York
society, ,died of inflammation of the
bowels at his residence, 244 Madison
avenue, early today.
The announcement of the death of
Mr. Havemeyer came as a shock to his
friends, who were not aware that the
millionaire business man and sports-
man was seriously ill. Not even to the
family was it known before yesterday
that his illness was of such a serious
nature as might result fatally, and
then his children and immediate rela-
tives were summoned to the bedside.
Mr. Havemeyer was ill two weeks,
only a. small part of which time he was
confined to his bed. The commence-
ment of the illness appeared to be
merely an ordinary cold resulting from
an exposure from a. drive in the open
air. There was no improvement in his
condition for several days, and then a
physician was summoned, who advised"
Mr. Havemeyer to remain in the house.
During his confinement in the house
he directed the management of his
business affairs by messengers and
through his brother, Henry 0. Have—
meyer, who is interested in the same
ventures.
The Family Summoned.
During last week the symptoms of
inflammation of the bowels became evi-
dent, and the millionaire sought his.
bed. A physician was almost constant-
ly in attendance, and for a; day or two
it seemed as if the disease was under
Control.
Mr. Havemeyer felt that he was
growing weaker on Saturday and ex—
pressed a desire that his children be
summoned to his side. Cablegrams were
“THEODORE A. HAVEMEYER.
sent to his second son, Theodore A.
Havemeyer, Jr., who is traveling in
Europe, and to his daughter, Mrs. E.
C. Potter, who has been in Paris for
several months.
Mrs. Natalie, a married daughter,
who lives in New Jersey, arrived at the
house ’esterday, while the other daugh-
ters, Blanche, Mary and Dora, were
quickly summoned from . boarding
schools. The sons, Frederick, the
youngest; Charles, the eldest, and Har-
ry, were at their father’s bedside during
the last few days. _
Mr. Havemeyer sank rapidly yé’ster-
day, and when, late in the afternoon,
his three brothers, Henry 0., Frederic
and Thomas, arrived at the house, he
was barely able to recognize them.
Career of the Sugar Magnate.
Theodore A. Havemeyer who, with
his brother, Henry 0. Havemeyer, was
for years associated in the government
of the powerful Sugar trust, came of a
family that for generations had been
sugar refiners. The trade ran in the
family, being handeddown from father
to Son. Theodore, like each other new-
comer, was forced to master the bust.-
ness by starting at the very bottom.
When the Sugar trust. assumed its
present form Theodore Havemeyer was
elected vice president, his brother,
Henry, being president. '
Theodore Havemeyer was for a quar-
ter century consul general of the Aus-.
tro-Hungarian empire in the United
States. Heassumed that post in 1,871,
succeeding his father-in-law, Ritter
Von Loesy. Most of his time, however,
during his 25 years’ incumbency was
devoted to his sugar refinery, the rou-
tine work of the consulate being‘oarried
on by subordinates. In January of 1896
he. was superseded as consul general by
Franz Stockinger.
Mr. Ha.vemet~'°r is said to have served
as consul wi’hout salary and paid many
employees’ se'aries and other expenses.
On his retirement, Mr. Havemeyer re-
ceived from the Austrian emperor the
grand cross of the Order of Francis
Joseph, one of the highest honors that
can be conferred on any one not a sub-
ject. In addition to this, Mr. Have-
meyer had formerly been decorated by
the same hand with the cross of the
Portuguese order arid the Order of the
Iron Crown of the second class.
Might Halve Been a Baron.
There was also at the time of his re—
tirement some talk of making Mr. Hav-
emeyer a baron. ' .
In addition to his consular duties and
his vast sugar interests, Mr. Havemeyer
was greatly interested in real estate
speculation, and, with his brother, or
separately, bought large tracts of land
in and around New York.
Mr. Havemeyer came prominently be—
fore the public in the recent Lexow
trust investigation, where he, his broth—
er and John E. Searles proved trouble-
some witnesses and stumbling blocks
to the senator from Nyack. . ‘
In appearance Mr. Havemeyer was
tall, heavily built and of florid complex-
ion. He was known as the “diplomatic
member” of ti... trust. Mr. Havemeyer
and his family held~a high position in
New York society, and the former con-
sul was also president of the United
States Golf association and was known
as the father of the game in this coun-
_ try.

m CANADIAN .IARIIT.
It Provides For Important Preferences In
Favor of British Goods. .
Ottawa, April 26.~—The new Canadian
tariff is not a. radical departure from
the old protective tariff, but it is gen-
erally considered a decided step in the
direction of free trade. In some rc-
spects it is more favorable to the Unit—
ed States than the old tariff, but the
The most important feature in the
new tariff is in the double schedule.
By the announcement of this fact the
government accepts the idea of a. gen-
eral tariff to be levied upon goods from
countries giving Canada no trade ad-
vantages and‘of a special tariff appli-
cable to imports from Great Britain and
other countries that permit imports of
Canadian goods free of duty or at min-
imum tariff rates.
The government views the policy of
the United States and even the sched-
ules of the Dlngley bill as not preclud-
ing the negotiation of a reciprocity
treaty between Canada and the United
States. If, however, the Dingley bill
Were to become a law, it. would seri—
ously affect the trade of Canada with
the United States. Under these cir-
cumstances the government announce
that while they did net favor retalia-
tion and duty for duty, it was well at
the present time not to extend to goods
from the United States the measure of
tariff reform now brought down.
There is no hostility implied thereby.
United States products will be admit—
ted at the former duties, pending the
time when the American government
may remove the barriers to a freer in-
terchange of trade commodities be-
tween the two countries.
This preferential feature of the new
tariff is a very different policy from
that of the late protectionist govern-
ment, which so framed its tariff that
while Canadian imports from the Unit-
ed States increased-those from the Brit-
ish islands diminished.
GOLD STARTS ABROAD.
But the Treasury Officials Do Not. Expect
a Genefill Export Movement.
Washington, April 26.—The secretary
of the treasury has" received a telegram
from Assistant Treasurer Jordan at
New York, stating that $977,000 in gold
bullion has been ordered for export.
This is the first withdrawal of any con-
siderable amount since July 22, 1896,
when $2,000,000 was withdrawn, the last
of a. series of heavy shipments extend-
ing through a number of months.
The present order has been antici—
pated for a number of days, sterling
exchange having been dangerously near
the shipping point. The treasury oili-
cials are not disturbed and do not an-
ticipate any general gold export move-
ment. In any event they say they are
perfectly sure that European holders
are not selling American securities be-
cause of any distrust or want of confi-
dence in them.
The outbreak of any hostilities be-
tween Greece and Turkey is regarded
as probably responsible for the present
demand for gold. Further than this,
the officials do not care to express an
opinion.
The New Chinese Minister.
’Washington, April 26.—Mr. Wu Ting
Fang, the new Chinese minister to the
United States, Spain and Peru, with a.
large retinue of secretaries and serv-
the departure of the retiring minister,
Mr. Yang Yu, who will go to St. Peters-
burg. The party of the incoming min-
ister consists of his wife and son, Mr.
Ho Yon, first secretary and wife; Mr.
Shen Tung, second secretary and wife,
and 16-others.
Charged With Mutiny.
Hoboken, N. J ., April 26.—Five sailors _
of the Hamburg-American line steamer
Normania, from Hamburg, were at-
rested on the arrival of the vessel and
locked up at police headquarters on a.
charge of insubordination. Third Offl-
nied the charge and insisted that
they had only refused to obey orders
which would have endangered their
lives.
Died After Sparring.
New York, April 26.—While Rudolph
Babst. 46 years old, was engaged in a.‘
friendly sparring match yesterday with
Pete! Langtry, aged 17 years, at the
latter’s home in Brooklyn, Babst re-
ceived a light blow on the side of the
head. He fell to the floor unconscious
and died soon afterward. Babst had
long been a sufferer from heart disease.
Langtry was arrested.

Silver Creek, N. Y., April 26,—George
Wagner, 19 years old, committed suicide
yeste..-ay by shooting himself above

self.

More than half the
sufl’ering‘ which sap:
the energies and seats the disposition of
women is directly traceable to some disor-
der of the organs distinctly feminine. There
is no real need of such troubles ; they are
invariably cured by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription, which reaches and strengthens
the internal generative organs as no other
treatment can possibly do. By restoring
health and strength to this most important
part of the feminine constitution, the “Fa.
vorite Prescription ” gives new tone and en-
ergy to all the rest of the body.
