Atlanta. July 15.—Life has been made weary for Capt. Thompson of the police force by the discovery that he Is gifted with marked hypnotic power. In his deal ings with the prisoners, who have from time to time been brought before him, it was noticed that Capt. Thompson seemed to exert o great influence over them. A short time ago the captain went home one night and discovered hie little son was quite ill. The child was very fretful and on the point of having convulsions. Capt. Thompson made a few passes over its head and in an instant it was sound asleep. The siory was told in the neighborhood. A few days later a woman who was suf fering greet agony from neuralgia sent an urgent plea to the captain to visit her. He consented, and by the use of his strange power soon had the woman well end happy. This cure naturally added to his fame Bt- a healer, and it was not long before the entire neighborhood was winging his praises. But, however pleasing the praise may have been. It was not gratifying to •he captain to find himself besieged with people who want his services. He does not look at the matter lightly and dots not feel like turning a deaf ear to the throngs who seek his assitance. He says that since God has given him this power he supposes it Is his duty to exercise it for the best interests. ARB AT BAY POINT. Beanfort People Having an Outing; for the ffummtr. Beaufort. S. C..

From the Portland Oregonian. I would like to draw attention to a bunch of immense trees in the mountains fifteen to twenty miles from my place, near La tourell, on the O. R. & N. I used to make every year a trip to the mountain,? lasting generally eight to ten days, and it was cn one of my last trips, about four years ago. that 1 discovered on the northeast gide of the divide, between the waters of the Bull Run und the Hood river, this bunch of giant trees. The like I never saw before nor since. Before I saw these giants I had measur ed from time to time some trees at homo which girdled twenty-nine to thirty feet arofind about three feet above the base, hut these trees could not be compared at all with the big trees I found in the mountains. They would uppear as mere slicks against those giants. I honestly' believe that those giants will girdle wixty to eighty feet around near the base, and that they are 350 to 400 feet high. They stand on a kind of flat or lx>ttom, and this flat Is well protected from diseoverey, ns far us I could perceive, by steep and high bluffs not only from the Hood river Rde up, but from the main water divide down. These big trees are, In my mind, some where near the north line of the National Park, but It Is doubtful if they are in it. The re ate two species of the giant trees. One specie* has a yellowish and not tough bark, is straight and round a& a candle, has no limbs to an immense Bight, and has a nice, wonderful crown. The father of this very aristocratic species in our mountains is surely ihe emperor of our forest. People must not think that this is the so-called “noble fir.” because 1 knew not only the “noble fir.’’ but many other mountain tree? as well. Nor must they think that this species is one of the common trees In the mountains. I can not say how many such giants there ore. There may he hundreds—there may be thousands. On our way home one of my companions was drowned in the Bull Run, and therefore I never wrent to tin* moun tains again, but have always had de sire to go and investigate further about those big trees. CYdar I? the second species of the big trees. They rival in size and grand l ' r the first species. But the most wonder ful thing about them seems to be that they are. In spite of their immense diam eter and ge seemingly vouml and hard through tad through. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. JULY 16. 1900. IS IT ROMANTIC ENOUGH? THE HEROINE’S NAME BEGINS WITH % GENI INE DOt lILE I . The Boat f the Story Is Almost as Odd—Wris Betrothed to Her Twin Brother—Found Her Mother. Who Didn’t know She Hml Ever Llxed. And n Lot More Like It. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Occasionally things happen in real life that mak* the wildest romances seem col orless. Uuanitai Le Clerque. a Chicago girl, living at Fifty-fifth street and Cot tage Grove avenue, has a life story beside which the plot of a Balzac novel is unin- j teresting. Uuanitai’s own mother never j knew of the girl’s existence. Hhe was j adopted out of an orphan asylum when j three months old and carried to India by wealthy foster parents who idolized her. She was educated in iwo of the most fash ionable girls’ schools in this country, aft er living sixteen years in India. She fell in love with her twin brother and would have married him but for the chance dis covery of her real mother, and of the re lationship between herself and her broth er. She Is now engaged to marry her foster brother. A few weeks ago Mrs. May Wright Be wail of Indianapolis, who goes to the Paris fair as commissioner from that state, of fered Miss Le Clerque a position as pri vate secretary. Miss Le Clerque planned to go, but her fiance opposes the proposi tion on the ground, perhaps, that by some East Indian Jugglery the mysterious young woman is likely to disappear altogether. The story of Uuanitai Le Clerque begins years ago, for that was when she was horn in Rochester, N. Y. A short time before her birth her mother and fa ther had separated. Mrs. Le Clerque left her husband in New York city and went to live with her relatives In Rochester. Uuanitai was one of the twins. Her broth er was a lusty, healthy chap, whose very appearance at the beginning of his career in the world announced ro all and sun dry, “I mean to live. Whatever hard knocks may come, here I am to s:ay.” Uunitai, on the other hand, was a puny child, very small, and not much Inclined to fight for her delicate life. When the mother began to recover from her long end almost fatal illness, she asked at once for her child. “Here he is,” said her sister, bringing in the little boy. “A handsome boy. that.’’ said the cld family doctor, who had been made a party to the scheme of Mrs. Le Clerque’? rela tives. The relatives meantime had decided that in case the mother did not recover, two orphan children woujd be a rather se vere tax upon their charity. In case he did lice, they reasoned one child was bur den enough fora widow, without the extra tax of a sickly little girl. So while the mother tosaed about In the delirium of fe\er they took the girl and placed her in ihe New York Orphans’ Home, now standing in New York city on Seventeenth street. Her mother was not told of her existence. By a strange oversight of the relatives, who were so anxious to conceal the fact of her birth, the child was enter ed at the orphan asylum under her own name. Rut for this her Identity would never have been discovered. Three months after Uuanitai was placed in the asylum a gentleman and his wife, Maywood, by name, came in search of a child to adopt. They had three sonn, r.nd the dream of their lives was a little daugh ter. Uuanitai suited them precisely. Her hair was a silky black, her eyes dark, her tiny thin face was brown, and she re semilled them and their children physically to a remarkable extent. They took the child, adopting tier by process of law. and insisted that all evidence of her name end history be destroyed. Immediately after adopting the child they sailed for India. Mi. Maywood was a man of independent means and had become interested in mis sions in India. He went there to take on executive position connected with the finances of Methodist missions. The May wood family remained in India sixteen years. They gave their little girl her strange and musical name. Uuanitai (pro nounced I neta), and the child believed that she was theirs by birth and not by adoption. Scarcely a wish In tlie life of the slender, oval-faced dark-eyed daugh ter remained ungratified. The boys Were devoted to their little sister. Like all American and European families in India the Maywoods employed o big retinue of native servants-, and the attended like a princess. She learned the soft jan gle of native tongues, the queer supersti tions of the natives, and came to love the queer land of snows and parched plains where sils the "God in his car" and often the potter’s thumb has a trick of slipping for strange fates. When tiie World’s Fair year arrived, the iMaywood family- decided to return to America. They truveled leisurely through Prance and England, stopping ihree months in‘ Paris and three in London. I lien they came to Chicago and stayed through the season of the fair, after ward going to New York to live at the Metropolitan Hotel. Unanltal was placed in Miss Phelan’s school In New York, and graduated there after a couple of years. She then came to India mi |>olls to Mrs. May Wright Sewall’s school. After a term there the girl went on a visit to relatives of her foster parents in Jack sonville, 111. In Jacksonville she met a handsome young fellow, Will Le Clerque by name. He was there with his father, a fine-looking, middle-aged man of sll dierly bearing. The girl and Willie Le Clerque fell in love with each other, und when she went hack to New York they began a correspondence. illie Le Clerque?" repeated Mrs. Maywood In n frightened voice when the girl told her of it, and all the family fell inlo strange confusion at tlie name. Unu nilia was puzzled, although she had. of course, no suspicion of the real state of affair*. "Heie's a mystery." she thought, "and I’ll find out what it is." The Maywoods meantime emjdoyed a lawyer anil sent detectives on the trail of the Le Clerques. One night when all of the family were out except herself and Fred -Maywood, the oldest son. an attor ney's card came. "I'll see him." she said, In all the pride of 18 years old, and Ihe only' daughter of the house. "No. I’ll see him,” Interposed Fred. "Why?" said the girl. "Never mind.” replied Fred; "I'll see him myself, and you needn't come down." Uuanitai felt hurt and more resolved than ever to solve the my stery tha' nil seemed to understand, except herself. She llstend at ihe keyhole. They wore talking of an adopted child, property, or phan asylum, etc. When Fred come out she asked what It all meant. "We were discussing your cousin, who is nn adopted child, you know," said Fred and the girl felt partly satisfied. Hut not quite. An East Indian air seemed to have blown nltout the Maywoods in the New York hotel, and everything lent Itself to Jugglers’ delusions. She was sent away then to visit a foster aunt In Fort Wayne lnd. "That’s the I rest wav to get rid of all thoughts of Willie Le Clerque,” reasoned the family. The aunt, as It happened, had opposed the adoption of the daughter by the May woods. Either to see what effect the story would have on the girl, or to grati fy a slight revenge, she told her the story of her adoption. "You are ti foundling." she said. "You ' have no patents and a home." Putting together what she 1 Vod lieird ! from ihe lawyer, Uuanitai decided at once that the story must he true. She learned, too, that her real name was Le Clerque. She went hack to New York, but said .nothing to uny of the family except Fred. The foster brother confirmed the story, and fhe two. on their own responsibility, employed a lawyer to try to ferret oui the Le Clerque family. He hurried to Jackson ville to find thar Willie Clerque and his father were gone, and he could set ro trace of them At Rochester he had bet ter success. The aunt and the doctor who had taken the child Uuanitai to 'he or phans' borne, were both dead, but the nurse arid others of the family were liv ing. They admitted having spirited the '•hild away, and a single line in the records of the asylum, with the date pieced out the rest of the story. Four years after the birth of the children, the father, I>=• Clerque had returned to Rochester, and had kidnapped the boy from hie mother. Mr?. Le Clerque, frantic with grief, had gone West to take up the search for her boy, and the relatives end lost frar* of her. At last accounts she was in Chicago. Further than this the lawyer could not get. He turned over to Uuanitai docu ments signed by her relatives stating the facts of her birth, except that they' left it to appear, that the mother herself had been a party to the scheme of placing the little girl in an orphan asylum. It was ascertained, too. that the girl? mother be longed to a well-known and prominent family, while her father was in the en gineer corps of the army. At this stage of the story the Maywoods met reverses, losing a large part of their property. They moved from New York to Indiana a little over two years ago. Uuanitai conceived a plan of coming to Chicago to find work. She knew' that she was an adopted child, and this made her anxious to support herself. In addition she had a childish hope of in some way finding her mother here. She was oppos ed by all the family', but finally had her way. Out of the pin money which had been hers in prosperous days she had saved SSOO. Her father gave her letters to many well-known people in Chicago who had been ids friends for years—among them S. E. Gross. “Now take these letters, my child. ’ he counseled, “and as soon as you are in Fhh ago you can present them to my friends. If they' don’t find work for you they will watch over you a little, I hope.’’ Rut Uunanitai had ideas of her own. and he?e ideas were independent. She put the letters away in her trunk, rented a room at the Avon, o flat building on Prairie avenue, near Cottage Grove, ave nue, and set out to find work. She had conjectured that she might get some sort of clerical work among the church papers or church publishing houses. “No,” rhey all said, “we have more cl* rks than we can take care of. What you had better do is to become a dea coness. You know India and you would make a first-class woman missionary.” But Uunanitai had her own opinions on missionaries and they w-ore not very orthodox. She decided that she would not be a deaconess. She scoured the city for work, and as time went on she hesan to get discouraged. One of the women in the boarding house noticed it, and the next Sunday she said. “Now, we have a club meeting this afternoon, and I want you to go along with I especially want you to meet my friend, Mrs. Smith and her son. Mrs. Smith Is very fond of girls, and although she has none of her own, she has brought up several. They are nil gone now. and nothing would please her better than to meet you. She might find you some work. > r ou know.” After several invitations the girl decided one day to go to the club meeting. Mrs. Smith was not there. It’s too bad,” said Mrs. Shaw. “We must go again next week, for 4he meet ing Is at Mrs. Smith’s house on Drexel boulevard. You will be delighted with her son, Willie Le Clerque.” Uuanitai fell into a fit of trembling and grew white as paper, much to her friend’s astonish ment. The girl said nothing, although she was all eagerness during the week for the day’ of the club meeting to come. She went, and instantly recognized Mrs. Smith ns her mother by on old picture taken when her mother was years younger. Wil lie Le Clerque was not in the city, and the gjrl was able to keep the discovery to herself. At once Mrs. Smith look a fancy to Uuanitai, and soon invited her to her house to spend a few days. girl agreed to go. resolved in her own mind to find out why her mother had deserted her, as she believed, in her in fancy’. "Do you know,’’ said the mother one day. “I’d like so to hove you stay* here and be my daughter, if you only’ could? I have my hoy, and a fine fellow he is, bu 4 T have always wanted a daughter.” "Mv own mother thought differently.” said the girl, with great self-control. “She deserted me. and gave me away' when I was tlnv baby.” And then she told her mother the whole story, only omitting names. “I can’t understand it.” sighed the mother when the girl’s story was ended. “It seems incredible that any woman should give up her own child.” “And here are the papers that prove it all,” said Uuanitai. as she brought out the packet of documents. As the mother read, the truth of the strange story became apparent to her. She cried for joy, and the girl cried with her. Uunitla’s foster parents were reconciled in o measure to the girl’s reunion with h-r mother, for they expect her back soon as the wife of Fred, her foster brother, a young business man In New York City. Willie Le Clerque is as devotedT to hie sister ns though they had not been sweet hearts. The story of the finding of the boy by his mother, after he had been kidnapped from her by the father, is another side of the romance. Mrs. Le Clerque came to Chicago in search of her husband end her boy*. She found no one here of that name, but heard that in Connorsville. Ind., there was a man called Le Clerque. She went there and put up at the only hotel in the place. “Did you ever hear of any’ one in this town named Lr Clerque?” she asked the landlady’ after dinner. “Le Clerque? Yes. a man and his boy. They’ board here regularly. Their room is the one adjoining yours,” said the land lady. Mrs. I>* Clerque contrived to catch a glimpse of the father and boy next morn ing without being teen, and recognized them as her husband and son. She w'ent to the village school that morning, took the child away and boarded a train for Chicago with him. Afterward an ar rangement was made by which the boy* remained a timY with one parent and then with the other. Mrs. Le Clerque was divorced and married a Mr. Smith. Uuanitai Le Clerque is now living with her mother and stepfather in an apart ment building on Cottage Grove avenue, opposite Washington Park, near Fifty fifth street. The resemblance between the two Is apparent, but not striking. Uuanitai lias bln k hair, cut short and curly. Her forehead is broad, her face oval, and her eyes large and dark. She is petite, with a musical voice, and viva cious manner. Her mother is still young, but her hair in snow white. She naud some with blue eyes and fair skin.

If one gauges national refinement by the mien and carriage of its people, the Chinese are entitled to a high place among the children of men. A Chinese official in full costume is a most imposing fig ure and carries himself with great dig nity and self-possession, albeit he is us ually some four or five inches shorter than the average American. In this re spect he owes much to his long dress, but more to the patient study of an art now almost monopolized among Ameri cans by aspirants to the triumphs of the stage. There Is not a single awkward movement as the Chinese gentleman hows his visitor into his house or supplies him from his own hand with the cup of tea which is indispensable to an interview. Not until his gues-t is seated will the Chinese host venture to take up his posi tion on the right hand of the former; and if. in the course of an excited conversa tion, either should raise himself, how ever slightly, from a sitting posture, it i*§ the bounden duty for the other to do so, too. No Chinese gentleman will sit while his equal stands. Occasionally, where it is not intended to be over-re spectful to a visitor, a servant w’ill bring in the tea—one cup in each hand. Then, standing before his master and the guest, he will cross his arms, serving the guest, who is to his right, with the left hand, his master with the right. The object of this is to expose the palm—in Chinese the heart—of either hand to each re cipient of tea. It is a token of fidelity and respect.
