No Charm In Them for Women , Says Author of "The White Squaw. " New York , Sept. 10. Miss Delia Clarke has written a play in which the despairing hero finally wins the girl by shaving off his facial tapestry , thereby removing her objections. Whiskers have no charms to soothe even the savage breast , If we are to believe Miss Clarke. In her play , "The White Squaw , " which is soon to have a Broadway production in which she will herself play the leadIng - Ing role of Neamata , the little Indian girl who refuses to marry the man i who has loved her through four thrillIng - Ing acts. Just because ho wears a heard. "Mystery may have Its charms , " said this very 'pretty young woman "but that does not apply to the face of the man you fall in love with or marry "The most important feature of a man's face is his chin , and if it Is lost t In a primeval forest of beard , how Is n girl co tell whether she Is intrusting her future to a weak creature , who will go down at the ilrst little tap of f adversity or one who will make a man's light with the world ? " 'Faint heart never won fair lady' or whiskers , either. There are many grouchy old bachelors today who might have been happy husbands If they had had the good sense to shave at the psychological moment. " "But you believe seriously that the mere fact of his shaving them of t could make a girl fall in love with him ? " "I certainly do. I know of several cases in which women who had mar rled men with beards were shocked , j and disillusioned when their husbands took a freak notion to appear clean shaven. And that wasn't at all be cause they admired beards , but be cause they really saw the men they had married for the first time , as thej really were. "The girl.who marries a man will : whiskers makes as reckless n gamble as the man in eastern countries whc never sees his bride unveiled until nf f. ter the ceremony. " JAMES' SPIRIT IS RETURNING. Brookllne Pastor Says He Met "Pres ence" of Dead Psychologist. Boston , Mass. , Sept. 10. Prof. Wil 1- 1f' Ham James , America's foremost pay chologlst , who died a week ago last Friday , has accomplished hlj expressed pressed desire to communicate fron H the beyond , according to the Rev. Dr Frederic A. Wlggin of Brookllno , pas tor of the Unity church. Professor Jumcs died at Chocorua , N. II. , on August 2C , but Dr. Wlggin , who has been attending a convention of splrltuallfita at Madison , Mo. , did not learn the news until last Sunday. He Immediately set himself to got Into touch with the spirit of the psy chologist , nnd says thift after an hour's summoning of his control the spirit manifested Itself. "The spirit of Prof. William James has manifested Itself to me , just as ho promised he would , " said Dr. Wiggins. "Within a week or so I believe my control will be fully attuned to the wnvo length vibrations of Professor James , Dr. James Hyslop , and Dr. Ilk-hard Hodgson , who passed over In 190C. "When I learned last Sunday that 'rofcssor James had I passed on re- Ired to my room and sought to sum- non my control. Ever since I have ) oen on my vacation my control has been weakened or has disappeared al together for days at a time. In my ndivldual case , my control seems to alto a vacation about the same time that I do. "With my control weakened , I felt It would be difllcult to attain full com munications at first , for you must know that a man of-Professor James * lilgh Intellectual type will emit from Ills spirit high vibrations. As wo have estimated these vibrations they vary from thirty In a weak spirit to about seventy-eight in the genius , and I know that Professor James' vibra tions must be at tlio latter rale. To receive these spirit vibrations the con trol must be strong. "My control came to me after n time , and I experienced a strong ln < tlmation of a presence in the room. "My conscious mind could not trans late from the subconscious mind the Identity of tlte presence. Yet I feel positive that the presence that re mained there and that I have felt every night since Is that of Professor James. ( "When I established communication with the spirit of Dr. Hodgson it be gan in the same way. " CORSETS WEAKEN THE MIND. New York , Sept. 10. Off with tlio corset ! Let waists bo unconflned ! Such Is the substance of a highly origi nal document addressed to Mayor Gay- nor by Dr. Hobert Sangiovanna , an Italian physician , now in New York City. "I buliovu , " mild Dr. Snnglovnnni , "that woman's incontestible mental in feriority Is duo entirely to the use dur ing long centuries of the injurious corset. You cannot compress the body without restricting the mind. The corset is the symbol of countless pro cesses by which the bodies and spirits of women have been enslaved. "Consider first the corset of the body which causes many diseases , es pecially anaemia and predisposition to tuberculosis. Then there is the cor set of custom and sentiment , which shapes her mentality to what the aver age man considers a fine womanliness , but whhlch in reality weakens her moral muscles just as the constant support of the bodily corsets weakens her physical muscles. " LEE SWORE , NOT WASHINGTON. Marion Harland Denies Stories of Pro- fanlty at Battle of Monmouth. New York , Sept. 10. The oft repeat ed story of Washington's profanity at the Battle of Monmouth Is denied In Marlon Hurland's autobiography on the authority of the revolutionary vet eran , Stirling Smith , who was uncle to Marion Harland's grandfather. "He did not swear , " the veteran would thunder when Irreverent young sters retailed the slander in his hear ing. "I was close behind him and I can tell you , sir , we rode fast , when what should we meet running away llckety split from the field of battle with the British almost at their heels but Gen'ral Lee and his men. "Then with that , says Gen'ral Wash ington , speaking out loud and sharp says he , 'Gen'ral Lee , in God's name , what is the meaning of this ill-timed , prudence ? ' "Now , you see , Gen'ral Lee he was mighty high spirited. ' So he spenltE up as haughty as the general had done and says ho : 'I know of no one whc has more of that most damnable vlr- tue than your excellency. ' "So you see , young man , it was Gen'- ml Leo that swore and not Gen'ral Washington. Don't you ever let me hear that Ho again. " 'l ' HOW THE CABINET LAUGHS. President Taft Has the Most Uproar ! , ous Brand of Mirth. ' Washington , Sept. 10. If as mud i depends upon a man's laugh , or his lack of laughter , as has been asserted by a distinguished French scientist I President Taft , who Is himself the fa | ther of a particular brand of uproar ! mirth-sound has odd assort j ous - , an . ment of men whom he has placed ir ofllco to run the affairs of the execu tlve end of the government , ; When tlio president was secretarj . of war the heavy mahogany doors o . the war department were not sufflcleni to shut out the sound that issuet forth , despite these barriers , when h < saw something that struck him a : h' ' funny. And ho saw many things Ir this humorous light. Ho laughed more than he has since , although from thi . , executive office there still issues fortl now and then the echo of a great ant sonorous laugh , a big-man kind o > laugh , bespeaking good digestion ant I good lungs. It is doubtful whcthoi President Taft has selected a slngh man who can duplicate his laugh , 01 > - even conio anywhere near It. ' When Mr. Roosevelt was preslden | he was no mean second in the matte : cof laughter to his secretary of war It wasn't the sonorous , easy going . ' complacent sort , such as Prosldon sTaft's , hut it had rare qualities. I had the effect of making everyone who heard it laugh , too , or at least smile. It was exuberant ; choppy , If you like ; Irregular , boyish at times , rising to n treble , us If its creator was having the tlino of his Hfo at the mo ment of Its utterance. Many Is the 11 mo that secretaries passing his door stopped to smllo at this melody of merriment , and It Issued forth most often just at the time when one thought that the colonel was in his tightest corner , neld at bay by his enemies. Former Governor Guild of Massa chusetts took occasion the other day before leaving for Mexico with the American delegation which Is to at tend the centennial celebration nt Mexico City , to call upon Beckman Wlnthrop , assistant secretary of the navy. The result was a perfect flow of laughter. Guild has the mellow clubfellow laugh. It is nil of good humor , comfort , enjoyment of the mo ment. Wlnthrop's Inugh Is an utterly wild , unrestrained sort that ripples and splashes about ns if the survivor of the tennis cabinet didn't care n rnp for anything and proposed to amuse himself a's he chose. Winthrop has a hard time carrying on the traditions of the former administration. Secretary Knox , President Taft's premier , likes a laugh now and then but mostly then. The lips of the secretary of state seldom omit a rip ple , except when tlio moment Is a most stimulating one. More frequent ly he sits and smiles , and his eyes do not laugh at all. They fix themselves on whomsoever is nearest as though the levity of the occasion were merely a halt to draw out the other person while the eyes scrutinized whatever secrets of countenance might ho nn veiled by the flash of merriment. The secretary of war. J. M. Dlckin son , has a raucous sort of laugh , al though It is not especially distinctive. It is much tlio same as that of any big man who can take pleasure in a funny story , but It does not always Indicate a mirthful temperament. George Von L. Meyer , secretary of the navy , Is not a man of mirth. Ills laugh Is a quiet ono , such as would not cause any head to turn in the best ordered drawing room , but lie has the power of emitting it at the proper mo ment. He can lean back in his chair from the knottiest problem , unwrinklo his forehead and give a mirthful , amia- able , llttlo ripple which quite suits the occasion. James Wilson , secretary of agricul ture , and "grandfather of the cabinet , ' lias a nice , well defined , western Iowa laugh when the idea strikes him. It is a very characteristic sort of iineuphon ions utterance. It comes forth unhid den by circumstance , is not very loud and depends entirely upon the secre iary's inward state of being. He laughs when he pleases. George W. Wickorsham , attorney general , is far different from Bonn parto , his predecessor , who oftei chuckled to himself whenever the popular voice happened to be lam basting him. It was a quiet , confiden tial sort of chuckle , apparently not meant for other ears. Wickershan never laughs without conforming to tlie usuages of the American Bar as soclation and well defined rules o propriety and etiquette. He is ful of funny stories , however , and laughs robustly on occasions. G. H. Hitchcock ( postmaster gener al , has a useful smllo , but laughing is not ono of his prominent character istics. Abandonment to mirth is no In liis makeup. He would never think of letting himself go to the extent o giving an ungraceful and reverberat Ing whoop. Franklin MacVeagh , secretary of the treasury , has a keen sense of hume and enjoys telling stories as well a hearing the anecdotes of others. He indulges in pleasing little chuckle , that indicate his pleasure in the poln that has been made in the story , but refrains , as a rule , from unrestrained , hilarity. Charles Nngel , secretary of the de partment of commerce and labor , has , a purring laugh which much of the , time is noncommittal and neutral. It is a good evidence of cheerfulness , but at the same time , if ho desires , it often leaves his hearers in doubt as to the depth of his mirth. Richard A. Ballinger , secretary of the department of the interior , has a - good fellow laugh that is well known In the circles of his friends. It has been classed by some as a political laugh , and at times lias stood him in the good stead , but It is never uproar ious. Taken as a whole , the laughter of the present cabinet is more or less strained and the president has but lit tle competition when he gives way to mirth at a meeting of the executive council. EQUAL TO "LES MISERABLES ? " France Is Interested In "Jean Chris- tophe , " by Remain Holland. New York , Sept. 10. A French book which has been classed with "Les Mis- erables" and "Robinson Crusoe , " is to appear here in English dress in Octo ber. Remain Holland's "Jean Chris- tophe , " with all Its ten largo volumes , has aroused wide interest In France since its publication last autumn. WHO'S WHO IN NEW YORK.

LOVE IS HYPNOTISM , ANYWAY. The Occult Art Is Useless in Marital Troubles , New York Judge Says. New York , Sept. 10. A simple and easy means of solving all marital troubles by hypnotism lias just been refused consideration by Magistrate Cornell , the presiding ofllcer of New York's new court of domestic rela tions. A tall , dark man of impressive ap pearance called upon Magistrate Cor nell yesterday and introduced himself as a "professor of hypnotism. " He Informed the magistrate that lie was ready to place himself temporarily at the service of the court. "I can be of vast assistance , " he said. "I am needed here. Nothing can stand against my powers. Let a couple who are at war come to me. I look in their eyes. I stroke their heads. I say softly , 'Go , my children , and he at peaee. ' They walk out like turtle doves. " Magistrate Cornell said he would take the name of the professor and send for him if he was needed , but that he would try to worry on unaided for a while. $40,000 to the Acre. Ginseng , the Chinese medical root valued for its wonderful cures of body diseases and said by Chinese to be a virtue by itself , will be a common plant in the gardens of a number of .Norfolk citizens who are writing for information about the valuable root to Washington and Kentucky. The ginseng root is valued at $6.75 per pound and an acre of it in the ground is worth $10,000. Dr. L. A. Culmsee has a few beds of this root growing in his yard on Nor folk avenue , while Councilman E. E. Coleman , Deputy Postmaster B. C. Gentle and U. J. Boehnke are other enthusiasts of the high priced medical p'unt. ' The ginseng when planted with the root takes four years before It is fully developed , while when planted with seed it takes seven years. Each year a red pod appears on the plant. In this pod are seeds which sell for one cent each. Ginseng grows In the heavily shaded parts of the forests but has been grown successfully In a bed about ten Inches high provided with artificial simile. In Kentucky a wealthy grower of this plant has a large plantation of ginseng and the Norfolk enthusiasts have been getting information about It from him. He offers to buy all the ginseng the Norfolk people can send him. Thee Career of A. P. Doe. Davenport ( la. ) Democrat : One ol the most brilliant careers ever watch ed in the city of Davenport came to an end last Saturday night when A. P. Doe , president of the Iowa Na tional bank , died at Mercy hospital at 11:55 : , after a prolonged Illness from heart troubles. Everything that medical science could administer was used but to no avail , nnd death came as a relief to a several weeks' suffer ing. / Mr. Doe's deatli was not unexpect ed. Ho had been unconscious for several days proceeding , and his phy sicians , Drs. W. L. Allen and D. J McCarthy , had hold out no hope for his recovery. Unusual Constitution. The suffering hours of Mr. Doe at the hospital were brightened by the presence of his daughter , Mrs. G. D. Butterflold , of Norfolk , Neb. , who re mained with him almost constantly since his life was despaired of. She Is I practically his only living relative , another daughter of Mr. Doe having died at the age of IS yearn. The story of his suffering at the hospital Is ono that Indicates his sturdy and healthy constitution. With his heart failing dally , ho would lapse from ono state of coma Into another. Ho had failed considerably since his serious operation sonio time ago. For a man whose condition was as serious ns was his for two weeks , ho was scarcely bedridden at all. He ro- mnlnod seated In a comfortable chair In his room , and only those who were with him constantly cnn apptcclnto what ho wont through. While1 con versing with his friends ho would lapse Into a state of unconsciousness , and perhaps remain In n comatose con dition for hours. When ho regained consciousness he seemed to be some what hotter. During the days when he was In a state of coma for ten or eleven hours , he remnrked to his friends when ho revived that he never had a bettor or more restful night than the time when he was in that condition. He battled with death like a war rior. For over a week he firmly be lieved that through care and rest for a few days he would bo well and strong again. Later , however , that flame of hope dwindled in his own mind , and his own statements Indi cated that he began to realize that it would be only a mutter of time until the end came. Sterling Character. Mr. Doe was n man of sterling char acter. He was a careful business man , a wise counsellor and ono who look ed beyond the present in his dealings witli men. Ho was naturally of a rather quiet and unassuming nature , but this trait retained for him his friends. The strides which the hanking institution of which he was the head has made during his presidency are attributed in a great measure to him. He stud ied conditions in the commercial and financial world and was firmly con-1 vlnced of the wisdom of steps be fore they were taken. Furthermore , lie gained and retain ed the love and respect of the entire - tire working force of the Iowa Nnj tlonal bank. lie worked with them mil for them. And the assistants In the hank in turn bent their best ef- orts to carry out his wishes and lopes. This trait was noticeable in ill his dealings , not only in Ills bank- ng career , but in Ills political and mercantile- career as well. Mr. Doe was a charter member of 'our Davenport banking institutions , he Citizens' National bank , the Scott bounty Savings bank , the Iowa Na tional bank and the Homo Savings bank , this being the order of his as sociation with the respective institu tions. The Citizens' National bank lias since become merged into the German Savings bank. Born In Maine. Mr. Doe was born in Windhani , Me. , March 31 , 1S37 , coming from a family of English origin. During his early youth ho lived in the Pine Tree state ? receiving his early education in the public schools. It was when he was 29 years of ago that he first heard of the west and its opportunities for young men. He came direct to Dav enport where he became identified with the business interests of the city as a wholesale shoe merchant. Pre vious to this time Mr. Doe had become a skilled mechanic in Merldan , Conn. , and was employed at the government arsenal during the civil war in the manufacture of rifles. Mr. Doe was ono of the most pro gressive and energetic Davenport merchants for thirty-live years , hav ing built up a successful trade in the wholesale shoe business in tills city. His careful management resulted in continual development of the business along substantial lines until the trade of the house was represented by a large figure annually. In me year 1901 Mr. Doe decided to leave the field of active business life. In the meantime he had become closely associated with the financial interests of the Iowa National bank , of which lie was ono of tlio organiz ers and of which ho was vice presi dent until 1901. The stockholders of the hank recognized his ability as a financier and trusting in his faith and conservative policies , clear insight and sound judgment in the solution 1 of various problems which are con ' tinually arising in financial circles , 1 nnd in that year elected him as their president. He continued in that po sition until his death. Married In 1864. His marriage to Miss Julia M. Bry ant of Windsor , Maine , was celebrated ' in 1SG4 , nnd she precedes him in ' death , having passed away in March , 1905. Mr. Doe was well known in the 1 Masonic circles , having joined the lodge at Bethlehem , Maine , in 1858. During his residence in Davenport ho had filled the chairs In the blue lodge I and chapter and had taken the de grees of Knights Templar command- ery and of the Mystic Shrine. Although his business interests were of considerable extent nnd Im portance , nevertheless ho found time 1 to devote to public nffnlrs nnd through 1 his public spirltcdncss ho had render ed effective service to the city. Ho was n progressive member of the city council and several times served ns ' n member of the school board. His civic activities gained for him 1 great popularity nnd later ho was elected n member of the stnte legisla ture , where the snmo spirit of loyalty which characterized his service to the 1 municipal body displayed itself again. His Great Benevolence. Probably the most striking feature of his Interests In public works was his love for the work of the orphans' homo , to which ho devoted much of his time and business ability. For ten years ho served ns president of ' the board of trustees of that Institu- lion , which ho was Instrumental In establishing. Owing in a large meas ure to Ills efforts the mutter of organ izing the homo was brought up before the legislature nnd from the time of Its Inception until his death ho was ono of the most nctlvo factors In Its I upbuilding. I At the boglnnlng a slngo room con- ' stltutod the homo nnd at times light and boat were scarce. Through the unflagging energy of Mr. Dee and his associates , the Immense establish ment , known as the Orphans' homo , ' has been developed to Its present' ' proportions. The manual training department of the home was Instituted at Ills sug gestion and IIP has developed It along lines that point to perfection. His great love for the child and his roe ognltlon of Its possibilities hnvo per mitted him to do sorvlco that IH of inestimable value to the state as well as to the city in surrounding the young with such environments as shall develop honorable manhood and wonianhoor , reclaiming them front lives of wrongdoing Into which want or Idleness and lack of common edu cation might have driven them. One daughter , Mrs. Alice M. But- torlleld. of Norfolk , Neb. , lives to mourn his death. Transport is Ashore. Manila. Sept. 10.- The Infcr-hdnnd transport Warden Is ashore ? on the coast of Bntangas province' in south ern Luzon. It is reported that her position is not a dangerous ono but the United States transport Sheridan and the mine planters , Hunt and Knox , have been rushed to her nssitsnnro. The News Eaqerly Awaited. Tllden Citizen : The whole-popula tion of Nebraska lias been on tlio anx ious seat since the daily papers an nouneed the probable nomination of Jim Dahlman for governor on ho day after the primary. The Boo nnd The Norfolk Dally News have1 been eagerly looked for from day to day in this territory , and as the majority dwindled from thousands to hundreds , and from hundreds' down to a few score and then to loss votes than were cast in Tildon for the cowboy- mayor candidate , Interest became intense - , tense and the suspense almost pain- j ful. 12ven at the present time some doubt exists whether Dahlman or Shnllenbcrgpr is the choice of the democratic party , but the most relia ble reports obtainable indicate that Mayor Jim hits the nomination safely roped by a majority of two or three hundred.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CLOTHES. I - - Blue , a Woman Says , is the Color That Lures a Man , Now York , Sept. 10. A woman who ' studies the clothes question and sees In It the psychological possibilities , has worked out some theories of lines , silhouettes and colors. " 1 ne lines of the modern dress are to themselves symbolic , " she says. i "The long , perpendicular lines always j standing for serenity , dignity and strength and the horizontal lines for lightness , gayety and charm. Simple combinations of the two , of course , are beautiful. As for color , the psy chologist has considerable to say on that subject. If one wants to be healthy one should wear the colors that appeal to her. Green , the deep shade of green , signifies self-preserva- jtion , and the very intense shares are I supposed to mean selfishness and love of money. Red is the animal color of vitality. Most of the hotels and j t apartment houses , as well as most of the homes , show these colors to excess. "Blue is a highly spiritual color , and ' it is said that the woman who wants ' to fascinate a man always wears a blue of tlio paler shades. A woman ! who wants to be merely chari'iing and ! amusing , but whose affection is not too deep , prefers pink. The greatest good that comes from the fashions of j today is that middle age is lost sight ' of. The middle-aged woman no longer ' selects violet , black and gray. Youth has taken those becoming colors , and the extremely simple lines which fori , i ' merly wore supposed to indicate a woman's renunciation of the world at , about 35 are now the fashion for wo men of all ages. " NO MORE AFFINITIES. Artist to Ask First Wife to Forgive " Him Now on Way to Europe. Now York , Sept. 10. No more af finities for Ferdinand Plnney Earle , the eccentric artist. Ho says he's cut them out. Declaring that he made , mistakes In seeking happiness in u i kaleidoscopic change of soulmatos , ho has gone to Europe to ask ills first I wife to take him back. This was I learned from Alexander Harvey , asso- I clnto editor of "Current Literature , " and also a close friend of the illus trious inaugurutor of the alllnity fashion. Earle sailed within the last few days under an assumed name and will go direct to Paris to meet Emily FIsch- backer , whom ho sent away so that i ho and Miss Julia Kuttnor of this city might live .together at his luxurious l homo In Monroe , N.
