SET ci A MAN WHO SAID HE WAS DEAD. How Sixteen Hundred Insane Are Cared for. PATIENTS AND ATTENDANTS. ‘The Government Hospital for the Insane, on the hills of Anacostia, overlooking Washington, has a grander site than any similar institution in the world. Nature Uberally endowed the 240 acres comprised in the estate with useful and ornamental features, and the patients, under the direc- tion of the physicians and attendants, have made best use of them. The result is most pleasing to the senses. Wherever you stroll throughout the grounds you see signs of careful and intelligent workmanship. In nothing could the contrast between this age and a century ago be more marked. Then they chained the insane and treated them as wild beasts; now they are given employ- ment to'distract them from the mind's sore trouble and allow dethroned reason to re- gain her seat. The patients of the govern- ment hospitai raise most of the farm and garden products they consume, and twelve of them in the tailor shop turned out last year 1,900 suits, 2,242 check shirts. 4,554 socks and other undergarments in like pro- portion, besides making all necessary re- pairs. A Startling Question. ‘When did you die?’ A Star reporter was strolling through the grounds when accosted with this rather startling ques- tion, He turned and saw a lean, lank, ca- daverous young man with sallow compjex- fon and mournful looking brown eyes. “When did you die?” the apparition re- peated. Not knowing exactly what to say The Star reporter preserved a discreet silence. His interrogator paused for a moment and then added in a disputative tone: “You're lead.” : The reporter having admitted that this might be so, his new friend nodded his head, approvingly and continued: “Yes, you’fe dead and I'm dead and we are all dead. Now, there are ignorant people who don’t know we are dead and buried, who dispute the fact, just as when they were alive they disputed all facts that did not agree with their preconcelved ideas. But, 1 know I am dead and if I am dead every one else must de dead.” “How do you know you are dead?” asked the reporter. “Because I was my own grave digger,” he replied triumphantly. This seemed to be a clincher and he stopped to consider its effect. Then going on: “Perhaps you think that is the sun,” pointing to the orb of day. “If you do you don’t know anything about it. That is not the sun,” lowering his voice to a whisper: “This is purgatory and that 1s Old Nick’s dominions.” A Sample Case. ‘The attendant who had him and others in charge came up just then and the dead and buried gentleman retired. replied the attendant, when asked whether this was the patient's sole hallu- cination. “He has a different one for every hour in the day. Every now and then he becomes conscious that he is in an asylum, and at such times he always has some new reason to account for his being here. I have some scribbling of his, written on one of these occasions, which'Is a perfect curios- ity. The attendant oblicingly procured this manuscript. There. were several papers written in a close “but legible hand. The following extract will give an idea of its tenor: “To think of such a thing being possible in this nineteenth century, and in this free country. To think of a man being incar- cerated in an asylum with madmen, in er- der that he might be robbed of the honor and wealth that the greatest invention of the age would justly confer upon him. The whole villainous plot flashel across my mind and made the mystery a mystery no longer, just as the lightning iMlumines the murky blackness of a stormy sky only to make it more terrible. 1 was drugged and then conveyed hither. The cowardly scoun- drels, the loathsome human reptiles, miser- able ‘crawling vermin toads, vats, ‘snakes, ghouls, buzzards; the incarnation of every- thing that creeps and crawis and cringes, of all the vices that flourish in the sink of iniquity; of all the mean things that can- not bear the sunlight of God, but must come forth from their hiding places when the dark shadow of night is upon their crime-spotted shapes. They would rob me of my invention, they would rob me of the wealth it will surely bring with it, they would rob me of the renown which, without the wealth, would make me happy; they would rob me of my happiness, of my. lib- erty, of my friends, of my home, and keep me here with these babb!ing idiots, these poor shells of human beings, the kernel of whose lives has long ago cucayed. “Yes,” remarked the attendant, after the reporter had read the document, “he hes an imagination which ought to have made him a fortune if he could have kept it in proper control, but it ran away with him and brought him here.” “You hear a good inany odd imaginings, do you not?” “Yes,” he replied, “but not so many as the outsider would suppose. However, I could fil a good many volumes if I told them all. There was one man, now dead,” he continued reminiscently, “that I had with me for a long time, who thought he was Samson, the strong. The joke of it was that he was not five feet and a half high, and could not have weighed 120 pounds. He used to claim that after he pulled down the temple of the Philistines he escaped from the ruins. He claimed that he had taken part in a! the great wars of history, and that Napoleon would never have been defeated in the battle of Water- loo, had he not killed 10,000 Frenchmen with his jawbone. Notwithstanding this bloody record he was one of the gentlest, most quiet patients I ever had. Poor fel- low, he has been out of his trouble for three years now. “We had another man here who used to walk around with his hands pressed to the side of his head. He imagined tt was made of glass, and that he had to hold it to keep it from breaking. But I would talk longer than the silver Senators if 1 tried to tell you all of their different vagaries.” “Some patients are allowed to roam at liberty around the grounds, are they not?” “Yes, they are put upon their honor to remain inside, and it is very rare that any lone will violate his word. Then there are some who are allowed to go outside, and even cross over into the city, and we have one who will start on Monday for the world’s fair, Of course these latter are patients who can absolutely be relied upon. The vast majority, of course, go about under escort, and ‘the convict’ insane are kept separate from the rest, and take their air in an inclosed yard. “No patient is compelled to work, but Dr. Godding encourages them in every possible ‘ay when they desire to employ them- selves. As little restraint as possible is used. Of course, some at times is abso- lutely necessary, but we have not a patient here who is always under restraint. Just as soon as their rage abates sufficiently to make it safe, the restraint is removed.” Every ward in the hospital is provided with a fire escape and fire apparatus, and there fs an organized and efficient fire com- pany composed of the attendants. Spotless cleanliness is a characteristic of every- thing in and around the buildings. The dining rooms present a bright, cheerful ‘appearance, and the meals furnished the inmates are of a most substantial order. ‘A great deal of soup is served. This with meat, beans and other vegetables, plain pread, ginger bread and coffee make a common bill of fare for dinner. Not so much rice is used as in many asylums. The Big Kitehe: All the cooking is done in a great kitchen in one of the detached buildings. Here are immense vats for soups, urns for coffee, ovens for roasts, and all of the other uten- siis necessary for the preparation of food. The bread oven turns out 600 loaves in one baking. The consumption is almost 1,500 loaves daily. i ‘The fosplial is to be lighted in the near future with electricity, an appropriation having already been made to begin the work. ‘There are over 1,60 resident patients. Of these about 650 are at the charge of the Dis- trict. In 18%, the first year the hospital was opened, there were sixty-three ad- mitted, and’ the number treated has in- creased steadily until it has rached the present proportions. It is endeavored so far as possible in the present somewhat crowded condition of the hospital to keep the civilians separate from the military patients and the epileptics from the other insane. 4 on, beds are warm and comfortable. In rards of the more violent patients the bedding ts ‘made as indestructible as pos- sible; these patients are also required be- fore retiring for the night to undress and leave their clothing outside the doors of their rooms. ‘The rising bell is struck at 5:30 a. m., and most of the wards retire for the night. In checker boards. In some of them are bil- iiard tables. The army and navy officers’ ward is carpeted, has a small library and the walls are hung with handsome engrav- ings. This ward has at present six inmates, ail of whom have been in the hospital some e. The food 1s conveyed from the kitchen to the various buildings by means of a min- jature railroad, equipped with small cars; then it is sent up to the various wards on huge dumb waiters.

On the theatrical aight the attendants play the part of actors. The audience is often very discriminating and can be de- pended upon to distinguish good from bad acting. The patients of each ward are kept separate, under their own attendants, in the entertainment hall. The dance night is always a joyous event for the voung in- mates, and for many of the older ones. ‘The attendants enjoy it also.
