NAPA, July 25.—Do the insane hospitals | discharge troublesome patlents in order | 10 be relieved from caring for them? The Veterans' Home authorities believe that | this has been done in at least one case by ‘the Agnews asylum, and that thereby the lives of the aged and infirm veterans have been jeopardized. On June 15 a young man giving the | name of Peter Donnelly came to the Vet- erans’ Home having in charge a veteran ADVERTISEMENTS. Several carloads of new designs.

To the hospital steward, Captain Clarke, Donnelly confided the fact | that he was an attendant, and Beale a | patient, from the Agnews State Hospital, and that Beale was a hard man to | handle. One of the nurses at the home hospital, Miss M. J. Hanley, was former- | ly an attendant at the Agnews asylum. | Donnelly called on her at the home and | aid that he must get away quickly be- | | cause he was afraid Beale would have a crazy spell and he would have to take him | back. The facts of Beale's mental condition | were not explained to the authorities of the home, but he was not long in the in- stitution before he began to act queerly. | His infractions of the peace were settled | by the home police. [ On Thursday, however, he went down | to Yountville, where his wife is stopping, a telephone message came ter, the medical director, Beale was having a fit. Dr. McAllister sent his assistant and sev- eral police down to town and they found and_present] to Dr. Meall Beale in a state of coma. They carried him up to the hospital and he soon recov- ered consclousness and made a savage | attack upon Dr. McAlliste: He also at-| tacked one of the para patients. Dr. McAllister came to Napa and lodged a complaint inst Beale for insanity. | He was brought to Napa and was exam- ined yesterday before Judge Gesford.

NEW YORK, July 28.—After an absence of six months in Europe Charles Froh- man returned to-day on the Kalser Wil- helm der Grosse and made formal an- been discharged from the Agnews Hos- pital. Dr. Stocking replied that he had discharged Beale, not as cured, but at the | request of some of the latter's friends, | who thought he would be better off at the | home than at the asylum. Dr. Stocking suggested to Hottel that it would be bet. ter to send Beale to the Napa State Hos. pital than to commit him to Agnews again, and Hottel promised to convey the suggestion to Judge Gesford. The Judge, however, said: No, they will have to take him back. They can't foist him off on some other institution in this manner. This is one of the most flagrant abuses of authority on the part of a hospital superintendent I have ever heard of. That man's record shows that he has been an epileptic for more than forty vears. He was discharged from the army, after serving but four moaths, on account of epilepey, and he draws a pe sion of §12 per month for the same disability. | So Beale will go back to Agnews to- day. Dr. McAllister waxed very indig- | nant when discussing the case. He said: | We have a large number of infirm old men in the home, and in his mania Beale was as likely to attack one as another. He might | have killed some of them. He was foisted on us without giving us any warning as to his habits or the nature of his malady. If it had not been for the police he would surely have killed me Thursday when he attacked me In my office. I consider this one of the most damnable outrages that was ever perpetrated. e e COMMITTEE FINDS ABUSES. Kansas Legislators Complete Investi- gation of Insane Asylums. TOPEKA, Kans., July 25.—The asylum investigating committee filed its report The com: mittee is composed of members of the | Legislature and was appointed on account | of abuses in the two insane asylums of The report says: “The committee finds that there exists upon the wards, among the attendants, careless practices in the handling of pa- tients, that frequently amount to unwar-| ranted force and punishment and some- | times to cruelty. There exists among the attendants a kind of secret understanding which has the influence of restraining one attendant from informing the superin- tendent or other superior officers of mis- conduct and abuses on the part of other attendants toward the patients.” ——— St. Ignatius College.

CHICAGO, May 28.—A. C. McMasters, the tennis champion, was defeated here to-day in the third round in singles for the Western champlonship. McMasters’ opponent was J. J. Forstall, a local player, Forestall won the match, 6-4, 5-3. W, C. Burton of Minnesota, R. G. Hunt of Cali- fornia and E. Diehl of Ohio showed such excellent form in to-day’s play that in all probability first honors in the tournament will be captured by one of the trio. —————————— Torres to Be War Minister. EL PASO, Tex., July 28.—From the cap- ital of Mexico an authoritative report comes that General Luis E. Torres, the fighting Governor of the State of Sonora, will be made Secretary of War bf Mexico. He is now in Mexico Citv. | nouncement of his plans for the coming theatrical season in this country. His new plays by American authors will include comedies by William Gillette, Clyde Fitch and Augustus Thomas, on which the writ- ers are now at work. American authors whose plans have been accépted are Rich- ard Harding Davis, Edward E. Rose, Miss Gladys Unger, Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett and Paul Potter. Works of English origin which Froh- man will presgnt here include J. M. Bar- rie’s “The Admirable Crichton,” now very successful in London and in which Wil- liam Gillette will be seen; another new p.ay by Barrle, “The Man From Blank- ey’s,” with Charles Hawtrey; new plays h} }"lnrrn Jerome, Raleigh, Hope, Cham- bers, Jones, Grundy, Esmond, Captain Marshall and others. Stephen Phillips’ poetic “Ulysses” will be produced in September, and there will be the usual elaborate pregentation of the latest Drury Lane melodrama. Frohman has gone extensively into the production of musical plays, and this season will have several notable examples of this form of entertainment. From France will come a number of successes, and new plays and German dramatists will be rep- resented adequately. The interesting statement is made that Miss Maude Adams will return to the stage in October, thus completing the Frohman list of already famous stars. Frohman has arranged the tours in America of Sir Henry Irving, Marie Tem- pest and Mrs. Langtry. This season will see the inauguration by this manager of the annual production of French plays in the United States under his personal direction, to be supported by an all- French company headed by Mlle, Wiche. ————————— First Indian Newspaper. The first newspaper ever printed and published by an Indian has made its ap- pearance in Eufaula, I. T. The editor is Alexander Posey, a Creek, and one of the most prominent men of the nation. Posey is called the “Creek bard,” but he is only half Creek. His father was a Scotch trader. He was born near Eufaula on August 23, 1873, and was educated at Ba- cone University at Muskogee, seven or eight years ago. He went into education- al work after his graduation and was successively superintendent of the Creek Orphan School, superintendent of public instruction for the Creek nation and su- perintendent of the Eufaula Creek high school.—Indianapolis News. ——prr—ee Nothing of Washington’s Horses. It is strange that no one seems to know anything about the various horses that George Washington rode, and that the names of them all seem to have gone down into oblivion. Every one knows about Marengo, the white stallion Napo- leon rode at Waterloo, and whose re- mains are now in the United Services Museum at London. The Duke of Wel- lington was astride of Copenhagen during the battle and the horse lived to be twenty-seven. Richard IIT owned White Surrey, and it was for him that he want- ed to trade a kingdom. Willlam III's favorite horse was named Sorrel, and was blind in one eye, as was Savoy, the fa- vorite horse of Charles VIIL of France, Rorinafield Republican, TO SPEND MANY MILLIONS IN BECLAIMING DESERT Government Engi.neerg in Session at Denver Plan Work on a Large Scale.

The Gunnison tunnel project in Colorado is one of the most gigantic works to be undertaken. The great Salt River reservoir in Arizona and the work along the Pecos River in New Mexico, along the Bellefourche River in Utah and along the Shoshone and North Platte riv- ers in Wyoming will also receive special attention. —————————— Self-Control in Bank Clerks. In an essay prepared and published re- cently by Paul H. Hudscn of the Knick- erbocker Trust Company of this city on ““The Bank and Its Employe” is the fol- lowing bearing on self-centrol in bank clerks: “In a financial institution, the tempta- tion with which the clerks are beset, and the opportunities for wrongdoing multiplied that great care and discretion should be exercised in the selection of men to fill these positions of trust. Thus the prime qualifications for a bank clerk should be strict integrity of character. It matters not how much ability a man may possess, how favorably he may impress those with whom he comes in contact, how much zeal he may exhibit in the performance of his duties, if he lacks this one requisite—integrity of character—the institution is far better off without him. It is only as they tend to Indicate the character that the habits, appearance and assoclations of an employe affect the in- stitution. The man who is cuitivating bad habits, who is indulging himself in things which hinder rather than help him, is not the man who will be found ready in a time of emergency to bear great re- sponsibility or to overcome obstacles in the accomplishment of a great work. It is the man who has been trained by con- stant self-denial and self-control, who realizes that only thcse habits which build and strengthen the character are to be cultivated, who is chosen to accom- plish these difficult missions.”—New York Commercial. —————— 0ld-Time Flying Machines. The Smithsonian Institution has pub- lished a new edition of Dr. Langley's “Experiments in Aerodynamics,” first printed eleven years ago. In summing up Dr. Langley speaks of the prospects for the future somewhat as follows: Since that time, he says, he has dem- onstrated that mechanical flight is pos- sible by actually performing it with steel flying machines nearly 1000 times heavier than air, driven by steam These ma- chines weighed from thirty to forty pounds, and flew from one-half to three- quarters of a mile at speeds varying from twenty to thirty miles an hour. It is belleved by Dr. Langley that the time is now very near when human beings will be transported at high velocities, though ‘perhaps at first under exceptional conditions, such as are demanded in the arts of rather than of peace. —_——— The constitution of Mexico forbids mo- nopolies.

NEW YORK, July 28.—In full view of hundreds of people going to work, Patrol- man Cornelius Mulvey, aged 40, was shot and probably fatally injured on the cor- ner of Avenue B and Seventh street to- day while trying to prevent a soldier shooting his sweetheart. The soldier is Adolph Schioss, 22 years of age, of the Eleventh Battery Field Artillery, station- ed at Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn. After shooting the policeman the soldier turned the revolver on himself, but without seri- ous damage. Mulvey was shot in the cen- ter of his forehead, the bullet passing en- tirely through his skull and out at the back of his head. Schloss was arrested immediately. His sweetheart, Louise Freedman, 18 years old, ran away, screaming, after the shooting, but was found later. She said that her father wished her three older sisters to marry first and she had therefore broken her engagement with Schloss, who shot at her after she had refused to renew the engagement. Schloss has been in the army for two months and was on leave of absence. He declared that he had been away four days over his leave, but said he had no intention of desertin; —————— Rock Island Buys a Railroad.

At a recent trial of a liquor case in a nearby town the witness on the stand was under examination as to what he had seen in the defendant’s place, which he admitted he had visited often. “Did you ever see any spirits there, or anything you regarded as spirits?’ asked the presiding Judge. “Why, yes, 1 do have,” was the rep “Do you know “Ye: “How do you knc “I kinder spilt it." “Well, now,” said the Judge, straighten ing himeself up for the convincing answes, “will you kindly tell the court what kind of soirits it was.” “Spirits of turpentine, your Honor."= Times, —— e ——— A Living Arm-Chair.
