TALKS QT«:LIBERTY Our People Carried Away by Military Ardor in the Philippines. Spectal Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 159, by James Gor- don Bennett i LONDON, July 18.—Lombroso, the Ttalian criminologist and alienist, has contributed an article entitled ““An Epi- in America” to the forthcoming August number of the Pail Mall Magazine. To Lieutenant Hobson the learned professor ascribes the in- ception of this epidemic, and he finds | that this sudden ebullition of kisses in America is so strikingly phenomenal as to call for some examination from a pathological andpoint. The professor starts out with a mis- statement of fact, inasmuch as Hob- son’s t experience with Kissing public did not take place at Vassar Col- lege, the professor asserts, but at Long Beach. Again, the prof taken too serio as or seems to have the exaggerated re- son's kissing be as wit- s his opening statement: “The doughty deed of Lieutenant | Hobson, who scuttled the Merrimac in Santiago Harbor and freely risked his life in the bold project of locking the Spaniards in th the memory of all. We are told that when, after the war, the gallant sailor gave an account of his exploit at V. sar College, a lady who was at his le ture expressed a wish to kiss the hero, and her was followed by all the ladies ““Hobson the leading cities in the course of by no less th ., when we i the United States, he his_tour 10,000 465 was when consider of its women consider the self-possession and ardheadedness of the American citi- phenomenon appears so strik- ing as to call for some explanation from a pathological standpoint. “In the of Hobson’s 10,000 the strangeness and unconventic of which were helghtened by their pub- licity, the most striking fa is that re was addressing a crowd of especlally elite persons. A crowd a domain in which microbes of evil develop mo: rapidly than microbes of good, becau: the good elements of the individual are eliminated by numbers or by the pres- ence of even a single morbid element. we and whe 1ali is The disturbances arise mainly from the stronger influence which a few de- praved persons in a crowd exercise being of an active nature, they oversway the virtuous, who are by nature more passive. “This baleful influence Is yet more marked in a crowd of women, partly because it includes a larger proportion terical persons who give and re- uggestion more readily than oth and partly becau hysterical tendenc open to suggestion, more inclined to run to extremes than men.

Coneluding, Professor Lombroso says: “Few men are so worthy of admiration m as Hobson, whose Mer- is one of the brav deeds of our time, and an account of it given by the hero himself was bound to foment the enthusiasm of his hear- ers, who felt as though they had act- ually been present. Under these circum- stances the kissing phenomenon loses athological aspect, more especially as women are always warm admirers of military valor. The very prosalsm which permeates our times, especially in America, makes these ex- ceptional deeds the more provocative of admiration and enthusiasm. It would augur well for the glory of the great republic on which, at this time, the gaze of the whole liberal world is fixed, if in the flush of victory the military ardor of your American cousin had re. stricted itself to this single act. It would augur well if, having set one people free, they had refrained from girding on the sword to force another into slavery.” tent and started A e — n of rotation, the le ) th that the league of the its birth. —_——— A WARM WAVE STRIKES THE STATE Thermometer Reached 107 at Milton and 105 at Stockton.

The sting was on the upper lip, and the mark was plainly perceptible, even before the face swelled. Mrs. Steger had been suffering for a long time from tonsilitis, and I think the swelling may have spread into the tonsils and thus helped to cause death.
