was no room elsewhere. In the ne

administration. It was in good con
ition, however.
He had devoted most of his time
uring the last five or six years to the
oman's department, although he
gav_-tfe-ether wards as much atten
tion as it was possible to give.
As to the statement of Dr. Thomp
son that they were not in touh, he
was not aware of it. The two had
worked harmoniously for years and
had the highest respect for the
judgment of Dr. Thompson. He had
never heard of any complaints from
the patients as to ihimself,
Mr. Carey asked him if he did not
have about three times more work
than he could do.
Dr. Baibeok explained his duties to
show exactly how much of his time
--as taken up. For about six months
once he took eare of about 900 wo
men. . This was when Dr. Allen had

thought that administering the af
fairs of the institution would keep a
superintendent busy. He thought, as
arranged already by the board, that
another physicians would fill piesent
wants. Of course, he had not been
able 'to give Dr. Thompson's depart
ment close personal supervision. He
had so far as possible aided Dr. Saun

carried too far.
Answering Dr. Dick, he thought]
about 45 pert cent of the patients
were employed. No official was allow
"ed to get anything from the farm
4hut paying for it.
'his was the first year the ways
and means committee of the house
had not sent for him.
However, with the information he
for them he could not say that the
general assembly ~had not acted as
well as could be expected. There
were 341 white males, 329 colored
males, 519 white females 'and 320 col
ored females now in the asylum.
The Restraint Idea.
There were probably 40 or 50 wo
men allowed to go oat with the
straight jackets. Dr. Babcock de
seribed in detail his ideas as to re-!
straint and the need for it occasion
ly although he believed it was often
carried to extremes in many institu
tio'ns.
Dr. Babcock went into the ideas ad
vanced as to the management* of the
races and the separation of the whites
and negroes. The matter had been
studied for years not only by leading
authorities but by the board of re
gents. It was one of the problems
for the committee.
He was not provided with a private
seretary, but incidentally he remark
ed that he was not near the physical
wreck that many thought he was and
was able to do a great deal of work.
The Water Treatment.
Answering Mr. Harrison, he said
that preparations had been made for
the water trea;ient, but it had not
been carried out as it would require
several experienced masseurs in each
department. This would cost consid
eable. money. Properly used it was
a benefit and help but it required
great skill and had to be administered
carefully.
Question by Mr. Harrison, Dr.
Babcock explained that efforts were
being made to colonize the tubercular
patients. The suggestion had been
made here and ihad spread. In his
opinion the future policy of the State
should be to secure land not far from
Columbia for the asylum, using the
present building for acute mental
cases and for special cases. The ne
.roes specially should 'have outdoor
life. The climate around Columbia
wasideal.

There were about 25 cases of pel- th1e

men. It was quite a mystery to him wh<

It was not communicable. One white nat

The percapita for support in North lan

Questioned by Dr. Taylor, Le said try
dn
that he had been asked if his salary de
hould not be raised to $5,000 and he alo
(the witness) had refused to allow Fre

Case of a Lawyer.
Dr..Babeock gave, at the request of tor
Dr. Taylor, a case where a young of
nan of this city, in jail on the charge latt
)f fraud. was committed to the asy- the
.um over the protest of Dr. Babcock.
Probate Judge Cobb also protested
)ut Mr. Hunter A. Gibbes, an attor
2ey of this city, insisted on an exami
'~
lation of the man by two physicians
elected by himself. Drs. W. A. Boyd

Mr. Gibbes visited tl.e patient dur- nan

t ed also in his attempt to relieve be
e leaguered Haarlem, which was com
a pelled to surrender to the Spniards,
s and to witness the massacre of half of
I its population. Lastly, William's
- dream of welding into one kingdom
1 the seventeen provinces nowadays
- eonstituting the Netherlands and Bel
C guim, was not to be realized. With all
e that no member of the house of Or
t ange has ever enjoyed to so great an
e extent the confclence of the nation.
- His strong hAividuality, his perspi
cacity in unmasking and foiling Span

o chattels, even to his silver tableware,
to meet tihe expenses of the war, the
2 price placed on his head by the Span
- iards, who thereby recognized his im
portance as the leader of the revolt,
the de1ath of three of his brotihers on
the battlefield, all stamp him as the
organizing spirit of the revolt against
Spanish rule. When he died he ut
tered words treasured to the present
day: "God, have mercy upon me and
upon my unfortunate people.'" Fol
lowing in .his steps the house of .Or
e ange has ever endeared itself to its
t subjects by studying their pronounced
- individualism, and to that house is
due the prominent part which Hol
land played in the annals of the sev
