/ BADLY ABUSED. ! tiorrible State of Affairs in a District Hospital. CRUEL TREATMENT Of the Defenceless Inmates of a Government Institution in the City of Washington. People Not Insane Confined in the Bull Pen, A Typical Case. An Investigation of St Elizabeth's hospital, Washington D. C , the home of many afflicted government employees, army and navy ( Ulcers and members (,f the marine corps, by the house committee on the District of Columbia, has disclosed a horrible state of affairs. Speaking of the discipline at this Institution, the committee In Its re port spys: "it would appear from complaints and statements made to us that strait-jackets, handcuffs, etc., are In frequent use; that the 'feeding tube has been upon occasions thrust down the throat as a method and discipline, as well as of alleged necessity; that 'wiring' out by wet towels and 'toweling' with dry towel i placed about the patient's neck and twisted from behind until the patient falls over semi-conscious (sometimes with soap in the moutb) is not an uncom mon practice; that the "saddle" has been used at times, a contrivance upon which refractory patients are said to be placed in a reclining position, fastened, hand, foot and neck, and so that no movement is possible except to roll the e>es around a circumscribed area of the ceiling, and thus left for hours. ' K eking and cuffing by attendants for failure to obey orders or do work properly, or for taking an extra spoonful i f beans at table, etc,, is alleged. An incident is told of an attendant. disturbed at night by a somnambulistic patient, striking him In the mouth, and knocking him down, and oarrying his own hand in a bandage for several days in consequence; and of another attendant breaking a patient's leg in diolpllning him. "There are different ways of training a horse?but one attendant made the statement that he was intructed to make patients fear him as he would a horse, etc., apd he commenced doing so his first day on duty, by knocking a patient down and ohocklng him, at ter which he had no trouble with that one. "Many other like occurrenoes are reported, but these are more than sufficient, If true, to present a vivid contrast to tbe methods of gentleness and sympathy carried out in other institutions." Many attempts have been made re cently by inmates of the hospital to secure the services of attorneys to effect their rele&ce, such attempts have Invariably been followed by brutal and inhuman treatment. Oue case in point Is that of an old man named Willis who was not insane and wanted to be released. Of tbis case the committee DQ nC ^ A UJillln /*? ? ! ? ? ? an j D A lit. TTJlllO UUC 1? UU UUUUt tXceptional; this is a brief of its history. An old man, but vigorous of body and intellect, was prevailed upon to deed valuable property to a relative. Ib was drugged in New York, taken 1,000 miles to a senders' home at Milw&u kee, Wis., from there to St. Elizabeth; there regarded as insane, and his statements taken as proof positive of "persecutory mania." He was punished in the hospital for his attempts to secure legal release; bis pension of $12 per month used by the hospital; his pension of $50 per month for life as an old employee of Arnold, Constable & Co., commuted and released by the relative to whom he had deeded the property for a cash payment; he is now penniless and friendless, and his prospects for escape from life imprisonment from among the iDsane are exceedingly small. "A woman, believing this man's tory secured a writ of habeas corpus for him and the case came before Jub lice Wright, of the supreme court of the D strict of Columbia. He held .the commitment unconstitutional and illegal, and said 'one might as well argue that a policeman could be authorized to arrest a citizen, obarge him with murder. Dronounoe him miiitv. mn hang him to a lamp post.' Willis wan then discharged after having been held In the hospital two years and was sent out without one penny. "In the Shaffer ease, It appears he was too religious to suit the taste of au official in the hospital ward at the soldiers' home, who oommanded him to stop praying with the siclt inmates; his refusal caused immediate transfer to St. Elizabeth. There he showed no signs of Insanity, but his requests for discharge were refused and bis release by habeas oorpus resisted. Finally he managed to have his oase brought into court and he was found perfectly sane In every re pect at d oroereci be discharged. There are about 600 Indigent patients at St. Elizabeth's, and these, the committee says, are oonflned in the bull pen. "The bull pen is a triangular enolcs ure of about ttarea acres, of whtoh about one-half It cooupltd by build tugs. It it surrounded by brick walls and high paling fence*, through whtoh the iodaates oan be seen tramping wearily back and forth like caged animals, or siting listlessly waiting the bell for meals. Some have been there for a decade or oyer. Ooe old soldier In this pen s aU d that he was treated as well as any old dog shut up In s back yard with water to drink and a tough ohunk to gnaw c ; if he did not attempt to dig out, or Jump the fence, or how) at the moon, he was left alone and kept out of trouble." W. W. Prick. XOHBY IN POLITICS Campaigns Coats Both Parties barge Amounts of Money. Did the late Mark Hanna spend six teen and a half million dollars on the McKlnloy Bryan oamp&lgnof 1896, In aid of the republlo&u administration? That la the question people are asking since the statement made on the floor of the house a day or two ago by Representative Sulzer, of New York, while discussing the national publicity bill. The difference between Ilanna's sixteen million of gold and Bryan's half million of sliver is loo great, they say, to carry great weight wiin 10. 1118 tigures, they believe, are pulled too wide apart, especially ah Bryan, In 189(5, had the silver inter eats of the country back of him and could, and did, probably spend much more than the sum accredited to bim. 1 Lincoln was a good spender when it came to politics. In his race against Stephen A. Douglas* for the presidency he spent $100,000, while his demo cratlc opponent used just half that amount. Four years later, in 18(54 Lincoln, when opposed by George B. MoGleilan. spent $125,000 and McClellan $50,100. Grant, In his tlrst campaign of 18(58 against HoratioSey mour, sppnt 8150,000, while the latter 1 used $75,000. In his second campaign Grant spent $250,000, then a large ami unt, as against practically the same bum iu behalf of Samuel J Til den. Two jea.s later James A. Gar- ; Held running for president against W. S. Hancock, used 81,100 000. and th* latter $255,000. When JamesG Blaine opposed Cleveland the first time i 1884, It cost $1,300,000, and Cleveland used a llt,rl? mum?ai inn nnn In 1888 Benjamin Harrison used 81,- 1 450.000, and Cleveland 1855,000, while In 1802 the same candidates cost their , supporters $1,850,000, and $2,350,000 respectively, Cleveland again using more than his republican opponent. 1l 1 1806 MoKinley Is said to have spent $16,500,000 through Mark Ilanna, it 1 Representative Sulzar's figures are ' correct, while William J. Bryan spent $675,000. In 1900 Mckinley spent $9, 1 500,000, and Bryan $425,000, while ! the Roosevelt Parker campaign cost 1 $3,500,000 and $1,250,000, respectively i Palled Hli Teetb! M. Labourraye, a dentist of Parlp, wa* found insane and sent to the Salpetrlero for observation and treatment. A few days ago the secretary of one of the deputies entered Ltboiraye's dental office to have a tooth extracted which had oaused him considerable pain. The dentist asked the patient to sit In the operating chair, 1 and then, drawing a revolver and pointing it at the frightened secretary whose toothache disappeared as by magic, exclaimed: "If you move a ' muscle when 1 am taking out your 1 teeth, you are a deao man." 1 The maniac then proceeded to pull the secretary's teeth. One after the other he removed with great skill, 1 while the patient lay motionless in the chair. Whp.ri ploht. .. ?? ? w.n??v %vvvia uau uccii Dulled out, the dentist said, 'Tha will do for today.

( DEADLY TORNADO. THELVE TO FIFTEEN PERSONS KEPORTKO KILLED. If any Injured and Mining in Belle vue and Stone burg, Destruction Great. A dispatch from Fort Worth, Texas, says a tornado has swept away the town of Bellevue and damage i the town of Stoneburg. Meagre advices received state that the town of Bellevue is totally destroyed, 12 or 16 persons have beeD killed, and many Injur ed and missing. Fire Is destroying the ruins caused by the tornado. A speolal train has been started from Bowie, Texas, 126 miles distant fr?nrj Uu scene. Belle vue is a town of 1,600 inhabitants. A dispatch from Bellevue says a tornado which swept through that place Thursday night destroyed everything in its p th and as a result practically the entire town is a mass of ruins, only three buildings now standing. At least 11 persons are dead and a number are iDjured. The tornado was followed by Ore which consumed the wreckage. This report is being sent from tin top of a telephone pole a mile fron Bellevue, but It is as olose as a wire can be had. The town of Bellevue consisted of over 200 houses. Among thost who are known to have been killed are: R L. Russell, wife and four chll dr.n; A. D. Barr, Tom Mount, W. W Bell, candidate for c >unty treasurer oi Ulay county ; two members of the Gray family. The seriously ir jured. Two dauirh t*rs of IN. Jfi. Smith of Howie: Mrs. Gault.

D Carr was caught in a building, mashed 'o death and his body is believed to have been cremated. The tornado was a mile wide and traveled over the earth for a dlsianc of eight miles, leveling everything In its path; ruining crops and destroying all farm bouses and barns on tiie way. Tuis section Is thickly settled and it will hi tomorrow before there are somplete reports of the dead. Tne fact that so few were killed Is accounted for by the faot that practi:ally every house was e^uipded with a itor in cellar and people went to them as soon as they saw the tornado ap proaching. Tnose who had no storm sellers or who could net reach them were the ones who suffered. Last winter many lives were lost In the same neighborhood by a tornado. tur 10 FIBCJfcB. fell Between the Cara While Stealing a lllde. A dispatch from Darlington to The State says: Emery Miller, a bright boy about 12 years old, met a horrible death here Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock, when a shifting train near the cotton factory literally cut his body in two. At the time of the ac cident the little fellow was swinging on to a moving box car. Losing hit grip, he fell sprawling on the track, where the life was crushed out of him by the wheels of the tender and big engine. The wheels of the train passed over the lower part of his body, cutting his tigure almost in half and when found a few minutes later his head and body were on one side of the track and his lower limb* on tire other. Oile arm wus aUo badly crushed. . Alert on foot and active in body, the boy was caught by car after car as they were shiftlDg from the main track to the switch and had batdly more than leaped on this one when he met his tragic end.

That whloh makes the death of young Miller peculiarly sad is the fact that his mother andotherB were mak lug loe cream for a festive occasion when told of the unexpected and horrible death of her boy. A jury was drawn this afternoon and the body viewed. The Inquest will not be held until Sunday. Cat To Piece*. James M.

CORRESPONDENCE fl JXfS* soucrrco J[ iff V J It Is the March and early April layera that make the December and all winter layers. A great many dogs. like lots of folks, have very well defined antipathies as to certain persona, the wherefore In both cases being in a measure unexplalnnble. We ran the risk of the frost last season with a small patch of sweet corn, planting about April 10, and as a result had an early supply. It was a speculation and chanced to turn out all right. Is It economy to let stock run at will to hay and eat and waste that which has cost so much hard work to secure? Hotter feed It in the barn or lot and put the manure back on the land where it is most needed. We know of a number of Instances In which the housewife, assisted by the children, has conducted a careful tcstI lug of the seed corn. It Is nrettv safe to assume that when mother undertakes the Job it will be well and thoroughly done. Give your boy and girl a portion of the garden patch to tend this season, letting thein have what they can make from It. Besides being a better Incentive than a gad it Inculcates a very valuable habit of Industry und sense of ownership. It would be a good time any of these frosty mornings to take your railroad Iron and break down those stalks. Th|>n when a soft day conies hitch on to the disk, set It straight and go cross ways of the field and you will have the Job well done. Fir lumber, which a few years ago was used sparingly, Is becoming so scarce and hard to get that a merchant stated to us a few days ago ho had to l?eg for It with the money In his hand to pay for It, and then shipments are very much delayed.

He should have a leg on each of his four comers, not broomsticks. Don't try to produce a rose. The sowing of a certain portion of the farm area to clover Is corning to be looked upon ns a regular feature of the early spring work by all intelligent and progressive farmers. Four quarts of timothy and two of clover should he sown with the oats, or, If clover alone is desired, three quarts will be found sudlcient with the oats. A discovery which will prove of Immense Importance to the dairy Interests of the country and Indirectly to the human family Is that of Von Bering, the German scientist, whereby dairy herds Inoculated with a specltlc virus are rendered immune to tuberculosis. The further claim Is also inado that people using milk and cream from such immunized cows are themselves rendered nrnnf nrrninot tha _ !>. v UiU A C4 > (ij^CO Ul the disease. Timber tracts and proves of nil sorts may be very greatly benefited by an Intelligent and Judicious thinning out and trimming up. Trees easily hamper each other's growth, and nil weak and deformed specimens should he removed. A serious fault with nearly all artificial groves lies In the too thick planting of the trees, something which Is nof noticed when the trees are young, but which, If not corrected, may result In the ruin of the grove nt a later period. Sunlight and air are absolutely indispensable to the vigorous nnd healthy growth of all forest and orchard trees. So serious have been the losses from forest fires In portions of California that one company at McCloud has Inaugurated a cnmpnlgn for effective fire protection according to the suggestions of the forest service of the department of agriculture. The plan consists of a clenrlng and burning of fire lines of irum .suu 10 ?j,uuu reet in width to serve as base lines from which to fight possible forest fires, organizing a patrol, erecting houses for the storage of fire fighting tools, erecting telephones to summon aid and other similar measures. So successful was this plan as a preventive of fires that tho same company Is planning to extend It to an additional 20,000 acres In southern Oregon. This nicely Illustrates one of the many lines of service rendered the commercial Interests of the country by the agricultural department. Old Aristotle knew that cloror waa a fertiliser for the farm, and ha has baan dead a long, long time. The making of profitable baby beef Is only possible with high grade animals of the strictly beef breeds. The report of the purchase of gilts near the $700 mark should be followed by a question mark rather than a period. Make It as warm as possible for all the sparrows which seek a home ^on^ your premises, and you will have lots of other birds. Sparrows are pirates. If a young couple commence picking up and saving every old thing In the house and out of. It which they think may come Into play some day, they will need a fire to help them clean house Inside of ten years. We feel sorry for the man on the farm who has raised four nice boys and cannot keep even one of them with him to take up the farm work as the father grows too old to carry It on. The smartest l>oy on the farm is the one who early resolves to stay by his dad. A swarm of sparrows, a flock of pigeons, a wandering dog, an old if Ak | crow or a predatory wolf vlsltlng^uu Infected hogyard can transmit the cholera with as much certainty as could u diseased hog running at large, and these agencies are pretty hard to quarantine against. Nothing makes a prettier lawn decoration than a circular bed, say twelve feet In diameter, with a dozen cannas In the center and these hanked with the different varieties of the coleus. A fringe of dwarf nasturtiums may be set on the extreme outer edge of the bed with good effect. Along the last of March we get a few small boxes, fill them with enrtji ? il sow some celery, cabbage, pepperS!^* mntoes, pansics and other desirable tilings. Then In May we have a nice > lot of strong plants to set out In the garden without having to buy or beg tllplll front f ho liulirlihnto No flowers grown Inst summer were more lovely or longer lived or gave ft hirger measure of real satisfaction than a bed of asters. The plants may ho bought, but may also be easily raised from the seed, then be set In the bed when of sufficient size. To have ample room they should be set ubout fifteen Inches apart each way. We find that peas of all kinds do better sown enrly than when sown at regular Intervals during the spring, depending upon the difference In time of maturing of the several varieties to afford a succession of pickings. Peas like cool, moist conditions while developing. For a family garden we would sow about four kinds, which, if properly selected, will give a good supply of peas from the middle of June to the , last of July. { Wlille making a drive recently the liveryman i?olnted out a farmhouse to , us where he had been called by the owner a few days previous to shoot , an aged mare because, he said, she was j not fit to work any more.

The greatest catastrophe of modern times has i^sVrpje^.the beautiful city of San * Francisco.

Long time and distance liave lent a poetic glamour to the cities that were buried under the ashes of Vesuvius eighteen centuries ago. The scientists have been telling us that volcanoes are only pockets of tire. But during these days, when Vesuvius has been pouring forth lurid lava lo! Mount Pelee has been smoking, Mount Tacoraa in Washington has been sending up its fiery cone, the volcanoes in the Pacific have made the nights red and crimson. It would peem that there is a ciicle of tire-running across Italy, Spain, Central America and the Pacific islands. One thing is certain. Men feel- as they never have felt before that the i earth's crust is very thin. Walking up Mount Vesuvius, one finds now and then a crack and thrusting the long cane down, it comes up smoking. And yet, hard by grow the rich vineyards, with their purple clusters, and tiie orange groves with their golden fruit. Once the lurid lava has cooled it furnishes richest soil for grapes and olives and cit on and pomcgranite. The very harbor of Naples is only ait extinct crater. Standing on Vesuvius, one can trace the outline of the vast crater of a mountain that now is sunken and submerged beneatli the sea. As t he Rev. Newell Dwight II ill is. says "as never before, scientists and scholars are consciius of ignorance knowing there is nothin? great in the earth but the man, that there is nothing in great man but his soul, that there is nothing great in the soul but. its hope and belief that within these earth-tires, and above and beyond the fretted star tires, dwells One who knows, who leadeth the starry hosts u t andcalleth each one by na me*" Living indoors fo much during the winter months creates a sort of & stuffy, want?of?czone condition in the blcod and system generally.
