I teviev Saw NEW YOTIE, Dee. 9.Hypnotism was the means of restoring te complete control of her mental faeulties yesterday Miss Sadie ClaretskY of "West Grove, near Asbury Park, N. Je whose cataleptic sleep of nine days had baffled the tikill of half a dozen physicians. Miss Garetsky's case was peculiar. She is 19 years old.

Her parents are poor and she worked in a shirt waist factory near her home. On November 21, while at work. Phe had a violent quarrel with another young woman. At the end of the war of words she rushed home and flung herself on a Po a. She seemed hysterleal end was able to say no more than that cruel words had been spoken to her and that she desired Only one thing in lifeto forget them.

Almost immediately she fell into a heavy sleep, from which she did not awake until last Thursday. Then she opened her eyes for a few momentm and egain passed into a trance-like condition. On Saturday she became semi-conscious and remained so with short intervals of heavy sleep until Dr. Guistav A. Gayer, a hypnotist, of this city.

bed rad of her long sleep and became profoundly interested when he learned that besides having been induced by mental excitement it had apparently been brought on by her Overwhelming desire to forget the harsh words. He concluded that she was self-hypnotized and that he, by counter-hypnotic suggestion could restore her to a normal state. Yesterday he obtained her parents' permission to treat her by the methods of modern hypnotism. A reporter was In the sick room while Dr. Gayer operated.

Miss Geretsky lay staring vacantly at the ceiling when the hypnotist entered. She made no replies to his first questions. The pupils of her eyes were greatly dilated and the eyeballs were drawn back to that the iris of each was partly covered by the eyelids. The patient seemed to have no control over them. Dr.

Gayer began by placing his hands lightly on her brow. He kept them there fully five minutes without speaking or attempting to make her speak. Then suddenly withdrawing his finger tips from her forehead, he took bee hands in his and said: 'Do not try to forget any more. It Is better to awaken, and to forgive and be forgiven." The young woman's drawn eyelids fluttered and her eyeballs moved until her eyes were level with the hypnotist's. But she said nothing and rm.

Gayer waited several minutes before he said: "Come, awake! Your mother, who is very dear to you, desires it. Your friend with whom you quarreled wishes your forgiveness also." Light seemed to dawn slowly in the sick girl's eyes. Then a smile began to play about her lips and she spoke. "I am better than I have been." "Tell me that you want to live and that you have put away your hate," he said gently as the girl seemed to hesitate. "Say it," he said again.

In a perfectly normal voice the pale young woman replied: "Yes, I want to live. I hate no one. I forgive." After a few more words Dr. Gayer left her. Miss Garetsky seemed to be perfectly normal as she bade Dr.

Gayer good night and thanked him for coming. Dr. Gayer said Miss Garetsky's case was undoubtedly one of self-hypnotism and one of the most remarkable he had ever seen. i 4 I'. lel i i If .1 '1': 4 11 -i it' 1 4:.

When the line is completed and ready for operation there will be hundreds of thousands of bushels of grain from the Horse Heaven country shipped over the line to tide water. The North Bank road is Playing no small part In Irrigation schemes.

Several of these are now under way. among them projects at Coolidge, opposite Irrigon, Ore. Plymouth, op. posite Umatilla and Patterson, about live miles below Coolidge. In most Instances pumping plants will utilize the waters of the Columbia.

Mammoth engines operated by gas produeed from its own machine will furnish the power. Practical tests Of these plants have, been made on one or two Islands in the Columbia, and have proven a suncess. At Patterson 2000 pores of land have been purchased at a cost of 248,000, and one of these plants wilt be installed. Until this plant is completed the land will not be placed on the market. Problem of Removing Barth.

To succesS'fully handle the construction of the line between Spokane and Snake river several new plans had to be considered for removing the earth and rock end filling deep ravines and gulches, of which there were many. On the line above Snake river this are hundreds of fills from 106 to 250 feet deep. In order to save time and material long cables were stretched from either side of the ravines. Shorter cables were then suspended from the main cables and construction traek then laid. From the track suspended in air cars were unloaded.

The fills were gradually completed in this manner. Nearly all the larger culverts placed underneath the heavy fills were constructed of concrete. In many instances they are large enough for a wagon and team to pass underneath. During the construction of the trillions lines of the Portland Seattle road contractors were greatly handicapped because of scarcity of labor. Hundre la of men were shipped from eastern states only to work one or two days, when they would quit Top wages ware paid, le many instances common laborers receiving as high as $3 per day.

At a point opposite Riparia two camps are located and the grade ix fast assuming large proportions. Steam shovels are in operation and the dirt is hauled to the dump by means of small locomotives. The high line between the Snake river and Kahlotus probably holds the record for largest excavatloae. In six miles of work the contractors were required to remove 1,250,000 yards of rock and 1,000,000 yards' of earth. Clash of Rival Leaders.

The outcome of the railroad war which has been brewing between the Hill and Harriman interests, notwithstanding the reports that the differences had been settled satisfactorily, Is being watched with considerable Interest. Whether the Portland Seattle railway will make Its eastern connections in Montana either with the Great Northern or Northern Paellie railway is a puzzle. Per miles the line of the Portland Seattle between Spokane and Pasco parallela the Northern Pacific. The Spokane branch of the P. leaves the Snake river branch at Devils canyon and parallels the Snake river branch for about 30 miles.

On the Spokane branch, known as the "high line," Is the heaviest construction work. Between Ainsworth, on the Columbia ever, and Itiparia, on the Snake river, several contractors are rushing work. On these two Mies it is estimated there are between 2500 and 8000 men working. It is the belief of many persons well informed on the western railroad situation that the P. S.

will have its conrectians somewhere in Montana. It will strike the Clear water river in Idaho, reach where it will take the north bank of the Snake river to Riptide, which nag been by the Harriman system.

The longest tunnel on the entire line is 2800 feet and is located between Vancouver and White Salmon.

A steel gang is working eastward from Vancouver, and N. miles of track have been flnisheri. There are about 30 miles of steel yet to finish. Construction and supply trains have been operated over the western end of ON road. Save Grade the Rule.

At a point opposite and below The Da Iles there la a considerable stretch of country between the river and the bluffs, where nearly five milen of track could have been saved, but which would have slightly Increased the grade. To overcome this grade the long route was chosen. as waa done in several other instances. While the road has been constructed to haul the heaviest transcontinental trains the local business, which will be considerable, has not been lost sight of. At present there is but one branch line connecting with the Portland Seattle.

This is the Columbia River and Northern. between Golden-dale and Lyle. This line was originally owned by a Portland company, and was operated in connection with a line of river steamers. It has since been purchased by the Northern Pa. dings.

From Pasco to Cliff. the distance la 111,9 miles; from Cliffs to Vanoouver. 109.9 The distance from Pasco to Vancouver is 221.8 Outside of the sidings at the Finley material yards and the sidings at Cliffs there are approximately 40 miles of sidetracks. Quick Time to Portland. The completion of the entire line and the operation of passenger trains will materially cut the running time between Spokane and Portland several hours.

The shortest time between these two cities is 16 hours. This time will easily be reduced one-half. When the cost of construction of the North Bank road was being considered it was the policy of the company to spare no expense in building such a line as the promoters had in mind. In order that much larger trains could be drawn than on any other western road it was necessary that heavy grades and sharp curves be abandoned. That this idea could be carried out it was necessary to construct a much better line than had ever been done before.

Because of the great expense in hauling heavy trains with large engines on other western roads it was the intention of the company to cut this expense to a minimum on the Portland Seattle line. Where it was necessary for two large engines to handle a train the completion of the FEWER 1 NTELLECTUA GIANTS AND FORENSIC ORATORS.

Less than two years ago the first work was begun on the North Rank road, as the Portland Seattle line Is known. Railroad men and contractors regard It as one of the most quickly tompleted In the west. Great engineer-hi feats Were before the engineers.

s-' 44.. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.The sixtieth congress contains the largest memberehip in the history of that body and has an unusually large injection of new men. The senate, which will soon contain 92 members, is larger than the house was for some years after the beginning of the constituiional government, and it has lout many of ite original characteristics. The senators are no longer "ambassadors from the Mates," no longer are men whose names are on every tongue.

It would take an unusually well-informed man some time to name one-third of the membership. The old leaders have almost entirely passed away. The are now Allison, Aldrich, Hale, Frye, Cullom, Teller and Daniel, the two latter being democrats. All the rest have taken their seats since 1890, and only 20 all told have served more than 10 years. In the house the veterans are Cannon, Bingham, Payne and DeWitt, while Keifer is back from Ohio after a long absence.

It is a rare distinction for a man to serve 20 years consecutively in the house, and in the last two years death and other causes have removed a number of the while there are more than 100 absolutely new men. It would be a hard task for any one to name 50 men who now have seats, and perhaps the average person could not mention a score. In these days there Is less chance for personal distinction than formerly. The work Is largely done in committees and the forensic debates are seldom exciting. Forty years or so ago congress was largely composed of veterans of the civil war or men who had come into civil prominence during that conflict.

The men were mostly bearded and full of passion. The slightest spark would Set off a volcano of excitement, the bloody shirt was waved and vituperation was indulged in with great cheerfulness and In unlimited quantities. Visitors to the galleries always asked to have pointed out such men as Blaine, Conkling, Butler, letephens, Lamar and others who had become prominent. In the senate were Sumner, Shernutn, An. Clone, Burnett-le, Morrill, Ingalle, Edmunds, Logan, Cameron, Brown, anti at various times two negroes.

These men were the leaders in politics and statesmanship, and they have left no successors of their own tpe. Not one of the veterans in either house is a noted speaker. Few of them ever talk at all. except in expleining some bill. The senate has become the deliberative body, but the eloquence comes from the younger men from the prairies and the far west, men some of whom were scarcely born 40 years ago, and the rest were in knickerbockers at school.

These changes are notable, but the peening away of the ancient regime is not to be lamented. There are, perhaps, fewer intellectual giants, fewer forensic orators than formerly, but, on the whole, it Is a body of able men, who are In Washington for business. The lobby Is discredited and the work of leglelation is carried on persistently, and, on the whole, ry well.
