Twenty Thousand Persons Heard Him in | Chemung County (N. ¥.) Fair Grounds. Elmira, Sept. 6—United States Senator David B. Hill spoke to 20,000 persons at the Chemung county fair yesterday af- ternoon. He refrained from discussing politics further than to refer briefly to the last Legislature in this State. Speak- ing of it, he said, among other things: “I may be pardoned for suggesting that in the matter of law-making it out- did any of its predecessors since the or- ganization of the State government. It | actually passed 1,045 separate and dis- tinct bills, which became laws. It is not possible that all of these laws were actu- ally necessary. On the contrary, there were hundreds that were unnecessary, special in their character, mischievous in their tendencies, unwise or uncalled for. “In the multiplicity of laws there is no safety; there is confusion, a tendency to corruption, a waste of valuable time, un- likelihood of their enforcement, and gen- eral demoralization.” aaa eens <A ea ROYAL PAUPERS SHOULD BE BARRED Trades Union Congress Favors Salaries for the Commoners. Cardiff, Sept. 5.—At the session of the Trades Union Congress to-day the Par- lMamentary committee was instructed to urge upon Parliament the passage of a bill declaring for the principal of payment of salaries to memBers of the House of Comons. Mr. Sexton, a delegate from Liver- pool, in seconding a motion for the adoption of a resolution in favor of the prohibition of the landing of pauper aliens, said he wished to include with- in the scope of the resolution royal paupers who arrive without visible means of subsistence, but who soon found them. ‘These, Mr Saxton said, were the men who controlled the empire while the poor British taxpayers har no rights at ell.

He is Negotiating With Dr. Webb for Land ia the Adirondacks. Old Forge, Sept. 6.—Ex-President Harrison is negotiating with Dr. Sew- ard Webb for a number of lots in the Adirondacks, near here. Some time ago he endeavored to buy the land around Big Moose Lake which is owned by Dr. Webb. The land was found to be in litigation, however, and General Harri- son will not be able to get it. Since then he has been given the refusal of five lots on First Lake.

Remarkable Statistics Gathered by the New York Lunacy Commissioz. ‘The fourth annual report of the New York State Commission in Lunacy makes an interesting showing of the oecupations of insane patients confined in all the State hospitals. showing the occupations of those ad- mitted since October 1, 1888, house keepers lead, the number of patients baving been thus occupied being 2,901 out of a total of 9,503, or a trifle over 30 per cent. Next on the list come laborers, excluding farm laborers, 1,334 of whom, or 14 per cent., were admit- ted during that period. Farmers and Yarm laborers are put at 1,062, or near- ly 11.2 per cent. of those admitted. Among the principal of the remainder of the occupations represented are the following: Agents, 34 patients; commercial tray- ellers 17, clerks 176, salesmen and saleswomen 32, 6 actors, 34 barbers, 18 barkeepers and bartenders, 59 black- smiths, 60 bookkeepers, 40 butchers, only one Christian worker, 42 cigar- makers, 12 civil engineers, 19 clergy- men, 24 coachmen, 24 cooks, 338 do- mestics, 6 editors, 24 engineers, 96 factory operatives, 35 firemen, 24 gar- deners, 17 hotel keepers, 10 ‘“journal- ists,” 21 laundresses, 12 laundrymen, ! 45 lawyers, 94 leather workers, 61 machinists, 52 masons, 11 mechanics, 174 merchants, 15 millers, 16 milliners, ' 41 molders, 22 musicians, 15 nurses, 95 painters and varnishers, 46 peddlers, 87 physicians, 12 plumbers, 42 printers, 10 railroad conductors, 52 other rail- road employees, 35 sailors, 20 saloon- keepers, 25 seamen and boatmen, 63 seamstresses, 12 stenographers, 55 stu- dents, 73 tailors and tailoresses, 120 teachers, 14 telegraph operators, 14 tinsmiths, 19 waiters and waitresses, 63 workers in metal, 41 workers in stone, 232 workers in wood, 24 bakers. Seven hundred and seventy-three are put down as having no occupation and 132 whose occupation is unascertained. Among the same patients the prin- cipal assigned causes of insanity are recorded as follows: Imbecility 26, bodily injury 40, cere- bral disease 21, cerebral hemorrhage 43, climacteric 167, confinement in prison 36, congenital defect 29, disease of skull and brain 13, epilepsy 408, excessive smoking 14, excessive study 12, typhoid fever 33, general ill-health 596, hereditary predisposition 425, ill- health following over-work 449, intem- perance in drink, 911, intemperance in drink and narcotics 117, la grippe 96, moral causes, such as domestic trouble, loss of friends, business anxieties, fright, disappointment, ete., 1,341, old age 307, opium habit 47, consumption 15, physical disease 211, privation and over-work 36, puerperal 134, excesses 16, sunstroke 133, traumatic 156, vic- fous habits and indulgences 49, unas- certained 2,819. It will be seen that among profes- sional men lawyers suffer most, the number of patients of this profession being 45. Physicians rank next at 37, elergymen at 19, artists at 9 and au- thors at 2. There are 6 each of edi- tors and actors, a rather remarkable showing for the latter, considering the popular belief regarding the prevalence of insanity among the members of this profession. This may be accounted for in a measure by the knowledge that many~a’ so-called actor keeps to the stage after he hecomes crazy, but harmless, as a long-suffering public will attest. It is safer to be a plain editor than a “journalist,” by just 66 2-3 per cent. A further examination of the causes of the mental diseases of these pa- lients show that 911, or nearly 10 per eent., were made insane by intemper- ance in drink, while the reason of 164 more was dethroned by intemperance in narcotics and the opium habit. To over-work and privation are also ac- eredited many of the cases. The moral causes enumerated, resulting in a great degree from weak or overtaxed ner- vous systems, are responsible also for a very large proportion of the cases. Almost exactly two-thirds of the cases to which atter‘ion has been di- rected, or 6,225, are of native-born per- sons. Of the remainder 1,250 were born in Ireland, 729 in Germany, 260 In England and 208 in Canada. The remainder are mainly natives of Sax- ony, Poland, France, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland and Wales.—Troy Press. Frauds in Dresden and Sevres. ‘As to porcelain, it is probable that more than half of the “old” Dresden china now exposed for sale is counter- feit. Most frequently the originals have been copied, mark and all, but in some cases really old Dresden china that was originally white has been painted by an ambitious forger. With Sevres china, the more common ware has sometimes had the whole of the original pattern and glaze removed and received a new ground of turquois or some of the royal colors, to which painting or medallions in the old style have been added. In 1816 a depeuner service, with por- traits of Louis XIV. and the principal ladies of his court, was offered to Louis XVIII. as having belonged to his grandfather, Louis XV., but on ex- amination it was found that the prin- cipal plateau was of a design not in- troduced at Sevres until fifteen years | after the death of the reputed owner of the service. Instead of adorning the table of the King, the service was relegated to the Museum at Sevres as an interesting forgery. Spurious Palis- sy ware is almost a drug in the mar- ket, and nearly every porcelain manu- factory is now represented by pieces aither wholly reproductions of its genu- ime products or having their marks and character in some way modified. There is no one who should more dili- gently apply to himself the motto, “Caveat emptor!” than the collector of pottery and porcelains. — Longman’s Magazine. A Practical Hint to Inventors. It is somewhat amusing to see how often an inventor will pursue a sub- fect that has been exhausted. One of the shrewdest of his class very cautiously told a friend while sit- ting in the lobby of one of the lead- ing hotels uptown that he had struck something and, in fact, it was a de vice really needed in our civilization. The friend smiled and said: “My boy, { supposedly invented the same iden- tical thing fifteen years ago. Before C took out a patent I had the patent office searched, and the reply came back: ‘Your device is old; was invent- ton years ago.’” The patent office ought always to be searched before big fees are rolled —Hardware. - In the table | ENGLISH COMMENTS ON THE RACE. Generally They Do Not Wish Valkyrie to Get the Race on a Fluke. London, Sept. 11—W ith one exception | the London evening press to-day exhibit | Senerous and sportsmanlike spirit in commenting upon the outcome of the | second race of the series between Val- j kyrie III and Defender for the America’s | Cup, and all express the wish that the | Tace be not given to Valkyrie III on ; & mere fluke, or as the result of an acct- | dent. | Much talk is heard to-day of new | Yachts to be built to meet Defender, if | the American syndicate boat should | come over here and to challenge for the | America’s Cup. In addition to the cut- ter wihch is to be built for the Prince ; of Wales, it is reported that Lord Rose- | berry is likely to build a yacht, and a | rich Scotch syndicate is also ready to | enter the lists. The Sun says: “There is so very Iittle true sportsmaniike feeling in America that yesterday's cheering for the winner is charming.” ri The Evening News says: “English- men cannot stomach victory tainted with unfair conditions, and would rath- er see Valkyrie return home without a single race than flying a flag unfatrly earned.” The Star says: “Neither Lord Dun- raven nor any other Englishman would wish to receive an advantage by a mis- hap. From yesterday’s race it seems clear that we cannot gain the cup this year.” The Pall Mall Gazette this afternoon says: “If Defender was put at a dis- advantage by the accident, we shall find little satisfaction if the decision favors Valkyrie.” The St. James Gazette in its article observes: “It is a good thing that the race was not sailed here, as it might be difficult to persuade Americans that it was a mere accident. Defender was on a port tack, why the invariable rule that port tack vessels give way was not followed.” eee ERIE COUNTY IS FOR ROBERTS. Rout of the Platt Forces in the Assembly District Conventions. Buffalo, Sept. 11—The Republican Assembly district conventions were held yesterday in the Erie county districts, and the following delegates elected to the Staite onvention: First district—John White, Dennis B.

New York, Sept. 11.—It is just an- nounced that there will be no decision by the regatta committee with regard to the fouling of the Defender by the Valkyrie yesterday until 4 o’clock this afternoon, or later to-day. Mr. Iselin gaid the Defender had not been seriously damaged by her encoun- ter with the Valkyrie’s boom, except that the jaws of her starboard spreader were carried away and that her top- mast was sprung and broken. When asked if he had another topmast ready, Mr. Iselin said: “Oh, yes, we will take the Defender to the Erie basin this morning and put @ new topmast in her and repair her rigging.” “Will you be ready to race Thurs- day?” was asked. “Oh, yes; we will be ail ready by to- night.” Mr. Iselim was then asked if he had been bothered much by the excursion steamers. He answered: | “No, except at the start, when the Yorktown got right in our way. Now, that is all I can say, and you must ex- cuse me from discussing the foul, as it is in the ‘hands of the committee.” Mr. Iselin was asked whether the re- | gatta or cup committee would decide | the protest, and he replied: “The regatta committee.” ae eee CATHOLIC WOMEN AS PROFESSORS. Mgr. Satolli on the Admission of Women to the University. Chicago, Sept. 11—Mgr. Satolli, who has been spending a few days im the city eft route from St. Paul, left yester- P day for Washington. Mgr. Satolli was asked regarding the announcement from Washington that a woman's department would be organized at the Catholic Uni- versity of America, in which the full course of instruction would be given by female professors. The prelate said the Church had never opposed the admission of women profes- sors or students te the Church universi<« ties, and that the present movement im fa- vor of the of women was in reality a revival of a state of af- fairs which existed prior to the fifteenth century at Padua, Salamanca, and Bologr: universities, ee WOMAN'S DRESS IN FLAMBS, Miss Meech and Her Mother Burned Severely at White Mills.
