A.CCEPTED THE REFORMS.

Constantinople, Oct, 17.—An Imperial
edict has been issued approving the
scheme for the reform of the Turk-
ish administration in Armenia drawn
by the British, French and Rusia.n
Embassies, in conjunction with the
Porte.
The newspapers here publish the fol-
lowing:—"His Majesty the Sultan,
whose constant desire has always been
to carry out the reforms adapted to cir-
cumstances and calculated to secure the
well-being of his subjects, decided that
reforms shale be in troduced In all the
Provinces of the empire, and
first of all in the Province
of Anatolia. These reforms
will meet the wantsof the population
and the exigencies of the situation. All
will be within the limits of existing
laws, and regulations based on the
leatte Humayoun of Gulkhanch. They
will comprise the increase and reor-
ganization of the gendarmes and po-
lice, arid amelioration of the adminis-
trative and judicial branches of the ser -
vee." All the papers emphasize the
10 principle of the equality of all sub-
jects, and appeal to the Sultan to see
that no distinctions are made.
London, Oct. 17.—A despatch from
Constantinople, dated yesterday, says
that the commission appointed by the
Porte to inquire in to the guilt or in-
noaence of the Armenians who have
been arrested since September 3 have
ea.used the release of 47 of the Ora.
soners who are declared to be !nem -
cent of any complicity in the rioting.
The despatch adds that the police
believe that several of the leaders of
the riotere, including some members
of the Armenian Revolutionary Com-
mittee, are concealed in the churches
in the city. Two hundred Armenian
women visited the Minister of Police
on Monday last for the purpose of ob-
taining news of missing relatives. They
were sent away with assurances that
all the prisoners would be immediate-
ly released. A number of women
ar-
ranged to go to the Porte to -day to
submit their grievances to the Grand
Vizier. As yet they have not carried
their intention into effect. The :Porte
applied to the Armenian Patriarch,•
Matthew Izemirlian,to prevent the wo-
men from visiting the Grand Vizier.
The Patriarch, who is gall ill, replied
that the Government was better able
than himself to prevent the visit, in.
asmuch as he no longer had influence
with the Armenian populace.
The request made by , Sir Philip
Currie, the. British ' Ambassador, for
permission to visit the prisons has
been granted. and Secretary Lister
and two other delegates of the pow-
ers have inspected the prisons.
The Daily News to -morrow will pub-
lish a despatch from Constantinople
eiving a description of an eye-witnees
of the rioting at Trebizond. He says
that four separate Moslem mobs sur-
rounded the Armenia.r, quarters at ll
reektek on the morning of Oct. Sth
and began to pillage the shops. Being
opposed, they fired on the Arnienians,
end soon a general massacre began,
Soldiers 'joined the mob in firing on the
Armenians and in pillaging the shops
and houses. The scene continued until
1 n'elock hi the afternoon, when noth-
ing was left to pillage and nobody re-
mained to be killed. The mob then be-
gan to disperse. The better class ot
Turks did their best to protect the lives
of the Armenians. They sheltered the
eeetnen and children and many men in
their houses. The mob attackeel only

Suit Brought Against the Street Railway
Company for Breach of Sabbath Ob-
servance Law.
Toronto. Oct. 17.
Suit has been brought by the Attor-
ney -General of Ontario against the
Hamilton Street Railway Company for
alleged infringement ot the Sabbath
observer ce law by running cars on Suri -
days. The statement and claim Sets
forth that "In operating the said ser-
vice of street cars on the Lord's Day
the defendants are themselves doing or
exercising, and are employing a large
number of conductors and motormen
and other persons to do or exercise,
worldly labor. business or 'work of their
ordinary callings respectively, the same
not being a 'work of necessity or a
work of charity, in contravention of the
provisions of the aot ot the Province of
Ontario, R. S. O. cap. 203, intituled 'An
act to prevent the protanation of the
Lord's Day.'"
The statement further sets forth that
the defendants have no authority to
operate their railway on Sundays, and
that the public are entitled on that day
to the free and uninterrupted use of the
whole of the streets and highways af-
fected by such Sunday serviee.
The plaintiff asks, therefore, 'that
the defendants. theft servants, work-
men and agents, may be restrained by
a perpetual injunction from operating
their railway by running cars thereon
on the Lord's Day upon and along the
streets and public highways of the City
of Hamilton; and such further or other
relief as the nature of the case may
require." The plaintiff proposes that this
action should be tried at the City of
Hamilton.
Yesterday the defendant e entered
their statement of defence, the effect
of which is that they deny all tho es-
sential allegations in the statement of
claim. and submit that, even if such al-
legations weee true, they disclose no
cause or right of eaten whatsoever
against the defendants, They ask,
therefore, that the action may be dis-
missed with coete.
Th.e salt is brought upon the ipCorm-
atiob of Mr. John Henderson of Ham-
ilton, and is of a public character. It
will come up, M all probability, a the
next Court of Assizes in Wentworth
COunty.
The following is the clause In the
Revised Statutes of Ontario, chap., 203,
section 1, which the plaintiff reliee upon
fat a conyictiont—"It 10 not lawful for
any Merchant, tradesman, are
taker, mechanic' workman, 'abetter
or othate personwhatsoever, on the

Baltimore, Oct. 16.--" The traffic in
girls," a paper read before the Purity
Congress yesterday by Mr. Charlton
Falholm, produced startling results,
First, the pictures of depravity and
wretchedness described as belonging
to certain quarters of every oity
brought many visible shudders over
the audience. Subeequently a party
of ladies., delegates to the congress,
agreed to make a slumming trip with
a view tit seeing foe themselves if such
pictures were to be found in Balti-
more. About midnight a party of the
delegates., headed .by Mrs. Edholm
and escorted by two ministers and
four newspaper men under the protec-
tion of two policemen, visited one of
the notorious districts of the city and
spent a couple of hours praying and
pleading with the inmates of the dis-
orderly houses. It was se strange sight,
those motherly -looking women, In the
plainest of' gowns and bonnets, in
close contact and earnest converse
with the gaudily -attired denizens of

which "Trilby," that romance of helmet-

and the tome of Prof. Liam, of the Char-

Dr. Lurs is one of the most remarkable
men in Paris, He is a Frew/titian, but
he is well built enough to be an Amerioan,
and a mighty fine American at thee, Dr.
Luys is the only man who ever lived who
could throw even the most susceptible
hypnotio subjeot into a deep tram° with
one quiekly spoken word of command.
He dominates his surroundings whatever
they are. Even the men who disagime with
his solentiflo theories exelaine that he is a
most agreeaple and admirable man.
His private workshop—athe Charity
Hospital, of whioh he is the head—is a

part of his home. His study is a little
mom full of book's. That is 'where be re.
°elves his private patients. It opens on a
big courtyard, and at the other side of the
courtyard is a little building apart. The
courtyard which surrounds it is, on plea-
sant ciays, gaywith the music of song
- birds in cages which are suspended every-
where.
Dr. Luys took up hypnotism about
twelve years ago. That was about the
time of the beginning of its revival in
France. He has devoted, altnost all his
time to it met to the study Of the human
brain ever since. The results of the latter
are to be seen by the favored visitor in a
cabinet in the little building. There are
more than 300 mummified human beetles
in that cabinet, and each one of them has
taught the world a lesson under the inves-
tigations of Dr. Drys
Most of the Dooter's discoveries have
been brought about by his work with two
especially good hypnotic subjects named
Gabrielle and le,sther. Both came to him
at tho hospital to be cured of nervous dis-
eases, Esther was cured, Gabriella was
not, Esther had been suffering from con-
vulsions. The Doctor placed her in a hyp-
notic trance. It was necessary for him to
do this many times, but he eventually suc-
ceeded in driving them away. Six brothers
and sisters of this girl had died of them.
But Esther still lives and is now entirely
dwiesllon.v
Ooeered earough his work with Esther
of the first things which the Doctor
was that to the hypnotized subject each
human being is separated into two parts.
These are identified by colors, While the
subject is in the state known technically
as "lucid somnambulism," .the person
whom she looks at is marked by a yellow
line, which begins at the top of the head
and runs &earn the middle, dividing the
indiviautel in half. Then, if this person
be in good health, the right side is dis-
tinguished by blue flames issuing from
the right nostril, the right ear, the right
eye; while the left side is similarly mark-
ed by red flames. Thus, in the parlance
of hypnotism, people are now said to have
their red and their blue sides. What this
strange phenomenon meant waefor along
, time a most puzzling question. Then it
developed that if the person were in bad
health the colors varied. A consumptive.
for instance, showed green flame. A man
who had been wounded in the eye was
distinguished in the sight of Esther and
other hypnotized. watchers by a little
orange flame issuing from that member.
A wotnan badly affected by hysteria show-
ed purple on the side which should have
been red in a healthful person, and so on.
Dr Luys was as greatly surprised as any
one. He did not then, and does not now,
know why these things are true, They
roma one of the most bailliag of the mys-
teries of the science which promises to
bring at once the greatest of benefits and
the greatest of dangers into modern so-
ciety But the usefulness of the discovery
was at mace apparent. No one thing is
more important in the practice ot
nlbdl-
clne than diagnosis. Until a doctor finds
oue what is really the matter with a per-
son it is, of course, impossible for him to
properly treat that person. There are cer-
tain diseases—espeoially morns of the °b-
emire nervous complaints which seem to
be the outgrowth of the present century—
which are very diffloult to diagnose. Ate -
takes in diagnosis are niade by the 'nose
careful physicians, But here, apparently,
is a method width oan not fall, Appar-
ently diseases may be expected in future
tO identify therhselves to the person whO
is in a certain bytanetic state. Even the
Academe, a Medicine is inveettgating
and that means that the meet conservative
Medical body in the world reoOgnizes its
importance.
And French scientists are looking into
this Matter also Very gravely, discussing
it as if It were one of the most important
things a the time, as it doubtlets Is. It,
too, has been considered by the Acaderny
of Medic:title, And While thet body hail nit

Figure 1 shows her face as it appears when
in a normal state Dr. Luys pietas some

covered, it seems to make small difference
—and approaches her with it from tht
right or "bine side. Of °ours°, she is In

There is an expeession of exaggerated

would. be if she had drunk ten times that
quantity of that liquor. Figure 6 shows
how a tube of ordinerY pepper affected her

is smiling. When applied to the blue side,
as in figure 6, the pepper brought the ex-
pression of a frightened woman. These
examples might be multiplied indefinite-

What all this means has not yet been de-
termined. Just as the hypnotized person
can hear sounds and see sights which the
normal human being can not, so it seems
to be true that the hypnotized human be-
ing can feel influences of drugs which do
not exist to the person in a normal state.
And now we come to wbat I have al-
ready referred to when I said that in this
article would be made the first announce-
ment of one of the most amazing scien-
tific discoveries of the time, The Doctor
lifted from the shelves a piece of iron
=wed into the shape of a horseshoe big
enough to fit over a human head, and fit-
ted with straps adjusted so that when it
is in place they let it fall about as low as
the teniples and no lower. He placed this
on his own head aad came forward.
"This," said he, "is a wonderful tank.
It is a tank for the storage of tempera-
ment. Yet you Fee it is very simple. It
is merely a big horseshoe nianget. Yet I
I can 1411001 3,00 and draw your anger from
you to lock it up in this bit of ourved iron.
I can please you, and then steal your plea -
MVO away to store it in this queer thing.
I can find you melancholy, and with this
oan relieve your melancholy. I can find
you an optimist, and in half an hour can
filch your good nature, transferring it, in-
stead, to this animate place of metal.
"But that is not the most wonderful
thing about it. After I have made you
angry and have drawn your anger out and
into this magnet, I can transfer it from
the magnet into the first person who hap-
pens to come in. Your melancholy oan be
shifted to other shoulders wholly irrespon-
sible for it and ignorant of its cause by the
simple use of this headpiece. 'Your pee--
Sinner/1 can be turned over to some jolly
fellow who was never anything but hap-
pily hopeful before in his life.

then transfer it to another person after t
lapse of as much or as little time as yo
choose. If the energy is that of happines
then the person to whom it is transfere
becomes happy. The discovery is in i
infancy yet, but it is destined. 1 think,
be one of the most wonderful things int
world. See what it, means! You are
sufferer from that strange disease, inela
cholla. And if the world could be rid
that one affection of the nerves and brat
a greater good would be done than mo
people realize. You go to your physical

mental energy of a happy person—one o
these persons who are naturally happy
He gives it to you 05 simply as he woul
give you an ordinary electrical treamen
You have now the temperament of tb
happy person.
"The discovery came about in a string
way. I had under a treatment a youn
woman who ayes in nosense insane, bu
who was stiftering from one species o
inelancholia. She felt an aversion for th
persons whom nature and ber life ongh
to have made her care mom for. She me
her mother and her father, her sister and
her brothers, with feelings of displeasure.
Finally she came to n've and asked me to
see if I could not do something for her I
tried hypnotic treatment without avail.
I did everything I coiled to get, her into a
healthful physicalaomiltion, :a that her
Wail would have good influences to feed
on But it did net change her strange
dislike for her family and friends. I was
puzzlea.
"Finally 1111411 this big horseshoe mag-
net made, I had no especial plan in so
doing, only feeling that magnetism thus
applied might be more effeetive than it
had'been applied in the other ways which
I had tried She mune to my office and I
placed this thing On her head. I bade her
Wear it for half an hour, and was some-
what enrioue to see whether there would
be any result at, all, and if so, ,what It
would be. At ate end of hall an hour I
asked her how she felt. She was so weak
that 3 was Manned The Internet seemed
to have absorbed her strength. She was
in A mental state which Might be describ-
ed as flabby, She felt no pattionlar eine-
tion. She wag simply tired in nand and

"Atter she nad gone I determined to
try the effect of the thing, I put it oil my
head and wore it for half an hoat, At the
end of that Mine came my dinner hear,
and I went into the part of niy house
whete were iny velfe and children. I Was
blue and unhappy. I Was not certain at
fleet whether to attribute this to the mag-
net or not. Ent the moment X met the
members of My family X realized what

ed iron had a new property. I lied proved

"Since than, although I have by no
means developed the discovery to its lim-
it, I have tried nutny strange experiments
with it, arid have even used it in the treat -
inept of one or tWO extraordinary oases
which are constantly (mining to me. I
have saceeeded in temporarily relieving
crises of the most acute and chronic
niol-
anho1ia, and have replatied the feeling Of
sadness and dissatisfaction by sensations
of pleasure and oenteritment. So far I
have found no way of making the change
permanent, but I believe that continued
treetrnent will have its good deed. I can
not see that it is in any way what might
be spoken of as a Isypnotio development.
To be sure, my investigations In hypnot-
ism are primarily resp:nsible for this dis-
covery, but still it seems to be along the
lines of pure magneatisin, Certainly the
will of the operatot—the pilysiciaa—has
nothing 110 do with the effect which the -
magnet has upon tbe subject. Another
evidence that it is entirely zoralmynotio
Is the fact that it seems to apply as well
to people whose minds are somewhat di-
seased as it does to those with healthy
To the non-soientific observer this die-
oovery of PxoL Luys seems to savor of the
black art. The possibility that through
it humanity may be able to obtain by ap-
plication to Its phyeician any kind of emo-
tions which it may desire has a hint in it e
which would be ludicrous were not the
matter _fresh from the hands of 50 great a

would gladly forever forego, but whic11
seem to be a part of the inevitable heritage
of all of us -.may be overcome
For years a group of men made up of
Pasteur, Cheroot, Reid, Luys and others
bare been sending out scientific news from
France which has startled the world. But
never has any discovery so amazing as
this latest one of Dr. Luys been anounced.

There are few eountry people so insens-
ible to the changes of the eatural life about
them that they.fail to notice the coming of
the birds; the long monotony of the win-
ter landscapes and the dearth of life which
Is its accompaniment is suddenly broken
by the advent in early spring of flock after
flock of active and noisy birds. If we are
abroad some March morning when the
sun is shining warn on the roofs, a flash
of blue in the apple orchard, a ripple of
song, or the Straggling mass of blackbirds
rising ancl falling till it clusters on some
small tree, are signs that we can not
help seeing and. welcoming. Every one
knows when spring and the birds are
here.
Not so when surnmer wanes into early
dale Gradually and insensibly one bird
after the other leaves the barn or thicket
where its home has been, and after a few
days' wandering in the neighborhood dis-
appears. We notice some afternoon that
the swallows are no longer singing on the
ridge -pole of the barn, or playing about
Its eaves, that the 28401 1141 twitter of the
chimney -swifts no longer falls from the
sky. If we reflect, we become snadenly
aware that no thrush has sung from the
woodland for evenings past, and it hardly
needs the unfolding of asters innumerable
to tell us that another summer is over.
Not all the birds, however, leave us in
this silent and mysterious fashion. Walk
for a mile through the thieleets on ;.the
river border; before long the familiar tee,
dee, dee, of the chickadee conies to you,
and in a moment you catch sight of a
black cap here and another there In the
shrubbery But with them comes a troop
of little birds in many Wore, silent or
noisy, gray vireos, bright colored warblers,
nut hatches and creepers, and occasionally
a thrush or a catbird. The company sur-
veys you and passes On along a route fa-
miliar doubtless to them, though through
what to us would be a trackless tangle.
Or pass to the neighboring cornfield, where
the Pleads have at last won in the summer
struggle, and bend with their loads of
seeds. .A.s you draw near their brown
forms fly to the fence rails or flit before
yeu—field sparrows, chippiag or a baywing
with white feathers in his tail,and in more
auspicious eaten than this, bluebirds—
Whose warble clear
Bids farewell to the dying,year.
These roving bands are bound together
apparently by similar tastes in food, but I
always like to think by a little affection
also, or friendly concerti. They wander
through field and woodland, till some
night nore favotable than the rest for
travel, or some wind whose suggestion of
coming winter is stronger starts them on
that, wonderful series of journeys which
we term migration. The next morning
fin& them in Connecticut or New Jersey,
and a fortnight later they are in Virginia.
Life is to them now as careless as a school-
boy's vacation, Only the dark shadow of
a hawk now and then interrupts their
round of feasting and twittering.
Spring comes with a rash, the barren -
1105s and bleakness of winter is driven
from the earth as quickly as silow is driv-
en from the hilleides by warm rains. The
fall creeps on us as quietly as a tree
changes Is colors. We are unaware of the
change till we look up some morning lad
say It is autumn.
