Is Twice Wounded While in Philippines, Where He Wins Distinction. Word has just been received in San Francisco of the promotion to a second lleutenancy in the United States army of Lorenzo de Clairmont, eldest son of Col- onel Ralph de Clairmont of this city. This promotion, zlthough tardy, was in direct recoguition of splendid services per- formed in the Philippines, where “Licu- tenant de Clairmont recelved wounds from which he has barely recovered. | Colonel de Clairmont was formerly chief of staff of the army of Guatemais, and it was in the military academy" oI that republic that Lieutenant de Clair- mont recefved his first lessons in_war. After graduating he came to San Fran- cisco and engaged for a few years in civil pursuits both here and in South America. His . military instinct was strong, however, and he enlisted as a pri- vate in the Fourth United States Cavaury. At the end of his term of enlistment he had 2cquired the rank of sergeant major. | EAT When war was declared with Spain he re-enlisted in his old’regiment and ac- companied the command to Manila.

FIRE -LADDIE-MEETS WITH SEVERE INJURY James Franks, a Truckman, Is Precipitated to the Ground Through the Loosening of Scaling Ladder PR ESAR G FE L o L Hook While at Drili EDNA STANLEY TIRES OF LIFE Says Stepfather Turned Her Brothers’ Af- fections. Finds Pistol Under ° Pillow and Shoots Herself in the Breast. Edna Stanley, nineteen years of age, and residing with her brothers and step- father at 176 Seventh street, lies on a cot in the female ward of the Receiving Hos- pital with a self-inflicted bullet wound in her breast. Tired of life and with bitter- ness in her heart against her stepfather she sought the end of. all. By the chance of fate the wound did not prove fatal. The bullet entered the body at the second rib and passed to the left shoulder. The deflection caused by the striking of the rib will in all prob- ability save the girl's life. Edna Stanley says she tried to take her own_life on account of the acts of her stepfather, Francis Cain. Her life, she claims, has been ruined by him, the man ‘who, turned_the affection of her brothers from her. But the brothers impeach the statements of their sister. They declare that the stepfaher was a kindly man, one who -treated his family with great consideration. Edna, they say, was dis- posed to have her own way, even though it called for a reprimand from her father. The girl kept house for the family, which counsisted of two brothers and the stepfather. The mother died two years ago. That Edna intended to take her life is quite evident. In red ink she wrote a note-on the-back of an envelope, bidding her .brothers good-by. They are Joe, "Allen and Dick Stanley. The pistol she used belonged to her brother. She found it under the pillow of his bed.

THE HYPNOTIC EVE How It vFasainat,esand?C«mtmls the|i Human Mind. WEIRD THINGS DONE UNDER ITS MYSTIC SPELL Can You Look at It Five Minutes Without Being Hypnotized? READ THE DIRECTIONS BELOW AND TRY. If you wish to ascertain how susceptible you are to hypnotic influence place yourself in an easy sitting position and look steadily and intently at the black spot (pupil) in the center of the eye above for five minutes. While looking at the eye count very slowly to yourself, one, two, three, four, and 50 on to five hundred. Do not permit your eyes or mind to wander for one moment. At the end of five minutes, if your eyelids feel heavy or tired; if you feel slightly drowsy; if you have a slight tingling sensation in the arms or hands; if you have a peculiar sensation in the head, or if you feel during the time an inclination to wink the eyelids, you are quite susceptible to hypnotic influence, and you should at once learn the science for your self- protection. The eye of a person who understands hypnotism s a thousand times more powerful than the cold, lifeless picture given above. To tell how sus- ceptible you would be to a real hypnotic eye, multiply the effect you per- celved by 1000. g ‘The most eminent specialists of modern times have just written a mar- velous new book on ‘“Personal Magnetism, Hypnotism, Magnetic Healing, " 10,000 copies of which are to be given away for the benefit of the pub- lic.: The book is richly illustrated by the finest half-tone engravings, show- ing various positions of sybject and operator. By the late methods to which this book calls attention any one can learn hypnotism and acquire wonderful magnetic power in a few days at his own home and use it on his friends and associates entirely without their knowledge. The person affected does not dream that his mind and will have been taken possession of and controlled by another. The most ob- stinate chronic diseases are speedily cured by this mysterious force and bad habits banished, never to return. s Mr. Y. T. Greenwood of 753 Brook street, Beloit, Wis,, wrote for the above book, learned hypnotism and immediately cured his wife of a com- plication of diseases from which physicians said she must surely die. Mrs. Effie M. Watson of Martinsville, Ind., says: “I advise every woman in this country to write to the American Colleze of Science and get _the grand work it is giving away. It has been of incalculable benefit to me.” Mr. John M. Guard of Palmer Lake, Colo., says: “The book s far beyond anything of the kind I have ever seen. I now use hypnotism every day of my life. Your splendid methods of instruction enable me to get in touch with people and wield an influence that I did not dream it was mine to pos- sess.” The book will be sent absolutely free to any address. It divulges the whole truth about the most mysterious and useful power known to man. It reveals the true secret of-all personal control; it lays bare the mysteries of the Dark Ages; it gives to man that knowledge of himself that is essential to his health, happiness, financial and social success. It is full of startling experiences and makes many wonderful disclosures regarding the mind and soul of man, the power of silent thought, the development of will power, nerve force and hundreds of other things of intense interest to every man ! and woman who would get the most out of life.
