BIG RECEraOKS GIYIN THB TIBITOES
Dktveb, Col., Aug. a The population
of thli city wulnereued nearly 35,000 and
till the rush continues. Probably one
quarter of this number were Knights, the
rest were visitors attracted by the conclave.
It was a most cosmopolitan crowd and one
that is seldom seen outside of New York or
Chicago, or the leading continental cities.
Of coarse the majority were Americans and
all the principal cities of the country were
represented. There were some objection
able characters drawn hither by the cheap
rates, but the most were respectable well-to-do
citizens.
The scenes about the Union depot, where
Eastern and local trains arrived about every
15 minutes, were lively bejond description.
In many of the trains numbers of passen
gers had stood for hundreds of miles. The
cars were packed to the doors, but the
Knights were comfortable, for they occupied
special coaches and in many cases speoial
train. They were accompanied by
their wivei, daughters and lady
friends. The ladies in their bright cos
tumes added to the attractiveness
of the scene and set oil the somber costumes
of the Knights to perfection . The depot
yards and the streets of the city were filled
with the strains of music and marching
Knights all day. The visiting commanderies
were escorted to their headquarters by the
local Knight"!, and Dinners and swords
tl.-it.hed in the bright suulight and fave the
citr a gay appearance.
II Hntl Mnrm K-ceptlons.
The crowds were well handled and everv
bodr was given good accommodations. The
local Knights looked after their visiting
brethren and the Citizens' Committee
looked after other visitors who were un
lortunale enough not to have friends here.
They still have 5,000 rooms to let, but they
will" probablv all be filled bv Wednesday.
There is still in reserve though, rooms
which will be given up by private residents,
only, however, ifabsolutely necessary, for
no one who comes here will be allowed to
go away disappointed.
Although Denver is several hundred
miles trom the nearest Indian reservation,
it bore a typical western appearance to-day.
The representatives of tour tribes of Indians
who are giving "wild west" exhibitions
roamed about the city while prairie schoon
ers containing the families of ranchmen who
live in the suburbs and trom 50 to 200 miles
away occasionally passed through the
streets. These people were supplied with
campaign outfits and have put up hundreds
cf tents in the outskirts where they will
live during the conclave.
Then the picturesque cowboy band was
on hand and they caused a sensation
wherever they appeared. Their leader
carried a Winchester instead of a baton and
his commands were given by the crack of
this arm. This band was on escort duty all
day. During the day nearly 100 eastern and
western trains rolled in and nearly as many
more local trains.
The City a Mass of naming.
Denver was in its glory. The decorations
in the business district were finished to-day
and the eye is greeted oa every side by
Knights Templ&r emblems and artistically
arranged buntings and more expensive
cloths. Bows of incandescent colored elec
tric lights are strung across the streets at
tached to which are all sorts of Templar
designs and when they were illuminated to
night the city presented a beautiful and
unique spectacle. To-night there were re
ceptions at the various clubs "and head
quarters to the visitors, for Denver is keep
ing open houses and the Knights are wel
comed everywhere.
Those who arrived before noon were
treated to one of the rarest Colorado morn
ings. It was warmer in the afternoon, but
toward evening the cool air from the snow
capped range of the city cooled the atmos
phere and to-night the air is cool and re
freshing, partially caused by a shower of
rain, and the Tisltors will sleep as they
never did in the low lands in this season of
the year.

A CHANCE ENCOUNTER.
Bv MRS.
I met her just outside the railway station,
in one of the great Italian towns; Indeed, it
was in the omnibus ot the hotel to which I
was going, and which stood there, as they
all do for a long time, awaiting the collo
tion of luggage. She was quite young, not
SO, a girl so perfectly comme il faut, so
well dressed from head to foot, so evidently
accustomed to be cared for and looked after
that her little air ot bewilderment and dis
tress, and the way she looked about, as if
ceeking some familiar laoe, was all the more
noticeable. I hope I should have been as
torry for a more ordinary specimen of
humanity, bat I certainly should not have
been so much I nterested. She was not alone,
however, at this moment, but was accom
panied by a man, who put her into the
omnibus with sundry expressions or en
couragement, and descriptions ot how she
would find her smaller luggage outside, etc.,
to which she replied with profuse thanks,
without ever ceasing her anxious look
round the wide apace before the rail
way station, which was crowded
with people coming -and going. "I'll look
round in the evening and see if you have
heard anything," he said; to which she
replied by begging him not to take the
trouble 10 disturb himself, with many
renewed expressions of thanks for his kind
ness to her. lie patted her on the shoulder,
as he shook hands with her, encouragingly.
He was a man twice her age, and had a
irirnfgr look and an American accent.
There was not about him the smallest trace
of a Don Giovanni; yet that pat on the
shoulder Immediately quickened my grow
ing desire to intervene. She was not a
beautiful girl in my experience beautiful
girls ae very rare; but her features were
agreeable, her complexion of that blanc mat
which the French admire so much, her hair
of, a pretty chestnut color, the outlines of
her soft, young face distinct, though very
delicate and fair. But it was the little air,
which could scarcely be called personal dis
tinction, yet which made it impossible for the
girl to look common nnder any dream
stances the perfect physical training and
well-beine, the perfection of care and re
gard for her comfort, and selection of the
appropriate and becoming in every personal
detail, which suggested that every precau
tion had surrounded her and everything
possible had been done for her, from her
cradle up which struck one most. Her
dress was quite simple, yet of the best kind.
The train by which we had both arrived
was a through train, in which the most
or the passengers had traveled all night .
bnt she had none of the fagged and disor
manderies attracted a good deal of attention
during the day, 'and they promise to make
a fine appearance at the parade. New York
City and Philadelphia Commanderies con
tained a distinguished looking lot of men.
When St. John's No. 4, of Philadelphia,
arrived this morning from its trip around
the State with Grand Master Gobin, of the
Grand Commandery, the latter was re
ceived with a salute of 21 guns. He was
escorted to the Temple, where Grand Com
mander Carr, of Colorado, made a short
speech of welcome. General Gobin re
sponded in a charming -manner.
No Competitive Drill This Tim.
Shortly after, he learned that a prize com
petitive drill had been arranged. He ex
pressed his disapproval, and Commander
Carr countermanded the order for the drill.
It was rumored during the day that the
parade had been postponed until Wednes
day. This was denied by several Grand
Officers.but there is some uncertainty about
the matter vet.
The Californlans, one of the j oiliest com
manderies here, have not let an opportunity
pass to entertain their friends and enjoy
themselves. They are stopping at the Ox
ford Hotel, and this afternoon Sir Knights
CL H. Wilson and J. L. M. Shetterly gave a
joint birthday party at whieh speeches were
made and good wishes exchanged. Hono
lulu was represented by one delegate, Sir
Knight Williams, who was enthusi
astically greeted. A practice drill
of the" Mounted California Drill Corps
was had this afternoon, and the men did
themselves proud. Taking this as an ex
ample California will be one of the notable
Commanderies in to-morrow's parade. The
drill corps were given a dinner this evening
by Sir Knight Boetticher, of Denver, and
later on the entire Commandery attended a
reception given by Mrs. Christie, of Den
ver. It is estimated that there are nearly
20,000 Knights in town.
The commanderies which arrived to-day
were: New Haven Commandery; Spring
field (Mass.) Commandery: Trinity, of New
Jersey; Hugh De Payen, Jersey City; New
Jersey Grand Commandery; OttawdJ of
Illinois; Oriental, of Kansas City; Sotoan,

The Visitors Arrive by Hundred.
Altogether nearly 200 Eastern trains were
scheduled toarrive. At afate hour there were
still 60 of these trains to get in. They will
probably arrive before morning. One of
the features of the conclave is the ladies re
ception tent at the Union depot, where all
ladies who arrive with the Knights are re
ceived and seat to their various destina
tions. The Kansas City Knights, to the
number of several hundred, gave a parade
and an exhibition drill this evening on the
Capitol grounds. They were reviewed by
nearly all the Grand Officers in town, and
they made a fine appearance.
As quite a number of commanderies will
not arrive before to-moirow there were no
formal receptions this evening, bat there
was a general round of fraternal calls going
on all the time, and at the several
headquarters of the different States
the latch string was well fixed on the out
side. It was open'hospitallty everywhere
and as many of the commanderies have
their own bands along with them, there has
been music in the air all the evening.
Governor McKinley, of Ohio, and party
of ladies and gentlemen, who arrived here
yesterday, did not stop long in Denver on
their arrival from the East. After viewing
the city the party went to Colorado Springs,
from which place they returned to Denver
last night and left for the East this morn
ing. Governor McKinley said he expected
to stamp Colorado during the fall.
Light Displays for Miles In length.
For several days past search lights and
individual lights'have been displayed, but
not before to-night have the general illumi
nations been shown. To-night the streets
are lighted up for miles aronnd by many
colored stringers, fancy emblems of Masonry,
colossal search lights and brilliantly
decorated arches. The electrical illu
mination is one of the many features of the
conclave entertainment and" is the result of
many months of patient work and study ft
well as the expenditure of considerable
money.
Four great search lights, each of 5,000
candle power, are placed in conspicuous
positions in different parts of the town and
so constructed that powerful reflectors con
centrate the rays at any point desired and
give the clearness of daylight at a distance of
two or three miles. The area covered by
the general illumination from these special
plants is a mile in length by nearly
naif a mile in width. A magnificent doable
arch near the Masonic Temple has upon it no
fewer than 2,062 colored incandescent lights.
Tw oother arches near the depot are fitted

pears in the afternoon, at least, of the day
after a night journey. It was evidently
natural for her to look pale, so that there
was no change in that respect; and her
Eretty hair was as much in order as, on a
ead of 19, it had any need to be.
After facing each other a minute or two
in the omnibus, which was still waiting for
my luggage which my maid, an experi
enced polyglot it her way, with a large
commando) nouns and very small of verbs,
was looking after I broke through my
English reserve (which was never my
strong point), and asked: "Have you lost
your luggage?" which, indeed, was the
supposition I had made.
The girl seemed much relieved to be able
to speak. "Oh, no," she said, "much
worse thanthat. I havefloit my mother and
father. They were to meet me here by this
train; and they have neither come nor sent
any one, and! don't know what to do. That
gentleman said I had better go to the hotel

best, and that they might be there; or I
could send and try to find them, or perhaps
there might be a telegram, or k I can't
think "how they have failed me; it
was all settled exactly how I was
to travel. and the hour the
train arrived, and everything. I
thought I could travel quite well by myself,
but I will never try it again," said my lit
tle lriend with fervor; and she added a
melancholy story of her troubles by the
way. How she had been placed bv ber
friends in a sleeping carriage, in which she
was not to be disturbed which went
"through," that magic word to the unac
customed traveler and would have no
trouble till she came to her journey's end,
when she would step into the arms of her
mother. All so beautifully arranged, no
trouble at all instead of which she had
been made to jump up at 4 in the morning,
to hasten on her "things" and to change
into another carriage; and now at the end,
where she hoped all her troubles were
over, there was no mamma on the platform,
nobody looking out for her, and she would
not have known what to do, or where to
look, but for that kind man, who himself
lost his luggage, and had to go back to the
frontier to look after it "He said this was
the best Jiotel, and I had better go to it,
and then telegraph," she repeated. looking
out, as the omnibus got into motion, with
wistful eyes at the passengers in the streets.
"Yon must stay with me till tbey tarn
up," soldi, "that will be the simplest way;
if they are not at the Leon d'Oro, we can
send the porter around to the other hotels,
and you will soon hear from them, yon may
be sure. They must have been detained
somehow, or mistaken the hour, or bnt till
you hear of them you must stay with me."
"Ob, may I? thank yon so very ranch,"

out with 500 and 200 lights respectively, and
over a score of emblems on the public
streets have each from 80 to 250 lights.
. In addition to these emblems, .50 street
intersection stringers are so arranged as to
harmonize with the other Illuminations and
give to the whole a charming and fairy-like
appearance. The dazzling display fi not,
however, confined to these public illumi
nations, whioh were prepared t the ex

the citizens at large.

IJlllan Kennedy as Charming a Ever In
a New Comedy Drama.
How many times has the poor but honest
maiden married the wealthy aristocrat,
upon the stage, to her temporary discomfi
ture? And how often has the wicked inter
loping villain kept the audience guessing
when his lastiplot will have been plotted?
The familiar virtuous young lady of humble
origin, her wealthy hubby and the inevi
table villain with the curling lip and the
anarchistlo hair, are all at home in "She
Couldn't Marry Three," the new comedy
drama produced at the Blfou Theater last
night At far as- the play goes
there is not a great deal that is new in it;
the old, old melodramatio material being
woven in with some irrelevant comedy, and
the songs and dances which Miss Kennedy
affects. The title "She Couldn't Marry
Three" which is a taking trap for the
theatergoer gives a clew to the main line
of the plot. A young and simple fisher
girl is loved by three men, and with not the
best sense she chooses a wealthy aristocrat
instead of an honest fisherman of her own
station in life. She wisely throws a scamp
aside, however though, by the way, ft is
not clear that he wants her till she is some
body else's wife. This scamp lays all sorts
of traps for the young couple and finally
succeeds in separating them. But though
he plots in approved style till the very
last and tries hard to have his rival, the
lawful husband, run over by a railroad
train, the villain dies in due time by the
hand of the fisherman and platonio lover of
the lady fair.
Miss Kennedy, in the guise of the fisher
girl heroine, made a pretty picture. She is
a capital actress, who sometimes suggests
Lotta, but who has a dainty sentimental
side as well. Last night she was plainly
suffering trom a bad cold, in spite of which
she sang bravely. Her gracefulness is
strongly shown in her dancing. John J.
Kennedy's delineation of a raw yokel
was broadly humorous, and the scene lifted
from "A Bough Diamond," in which the
rustlo Philistine visits his elevated rela
tives, was the funniest thing of the evening.
Messrs. Lewis Mabb and George W. Bar
bier as the aristocratio hero ana the deep
dyed villain respectively were satisfactory.
The ruins of Tynemoutu Priorv made a
picturesque scene, and the rest of the
scenery was pretty good. The "great rail
road scene," as usual with these attempts at
terrific realism, was decidedly funny, al
though the locomotive spouted showers of
real sparks and snorted in and out of season
under the compnlsion of real steam. The
audience was very large and enthusiastio
considering the heat. Fans were out in
great foroe.
DBAHATIC C0NFE5SI0H IN COURT.
The Statement or a Polish Hebrew TV ho Is
to Be Extradited for Murder.
Montreal, Ang. 8. There was a sen
sation In court this afternoon when extra
dition proceedings in the case of Harris
Blank and Charles Bosenweig, two Polish
Hebrews arrested here some time ago on a
charge of murdering a young Hebrew
peddler named Marks, belonging to Tow
anda, Pa., were continued before Judge
Dago j. When the case was called Blank
said he wanted to make a sworn confession,
Bosenweig lumped to his feet and said,
"Yon are a bloodsucker." Blank replied,
"You killed Marks and I am going to tell
the truth."
Bosenweig was told to keep silent, and
Blank then made a sworn statement, in
which he deolared that while three men were
in the Dutch Mountains, Bosenweig had
declared his intention of killing Marks for
his money. Witness tried to prevent him,
but while Marks and Bosenweig were alone
Bosenweig shot Marks. When witness ar
rived on the scene Marks was dead. Bosen
weig then carried off the body and hid it,
and afterward rejoined witness. Bosenweig
denies the story. Both men will be com
mitted tor extradition.

ulations of the journey, and the horror of
not seeing any face she knew when she ar
rived. "And I can't speak a word," she
added, in a little soft accent of wondering
despair.
"We can speak a great many words,
Johnson and I," Z replied; "they are not
nicely put together, and a critic might ob
ject to our conversational style, but we
manage to get on and nowadays there is
no difficulty in getting on, for everybody
speaks English at the hotels; so you may
be quite at your ease as far as that is con
cerned. It used to be very different in my
time, I remember " and then I began a
little story of my old experience, hoping to
divert her; but though she listened civilly
for a moment, and gave me a small smile,
I could see that my elderly anecdotes had
no interest for the little girl. Her
eyes strayed after every new pair
appearing in the street, with a special
interest in stout persons, which revealed to
me the vision of a portly mamma. And
what a state of mind that portly mamma
must be in, if she were an ordinary English
mother, and was now figuring to herself her
daughter's arrival in the midst of a popula
tion composed ohiefiy o.f Italian brigands
ready to pounce upon her and her goods, as
the ordinary British matron is accustomed
to suppose, I shuddered to imagine. In the
meantime I may as well mention who I my
self am. and how it was that I was specially
adapted to take this little stray in hand.
I am Miss Stanley Drummond, of a family
not unknown on either side of the House,
middle-aged, or a little more (people draw
that line so differently, according to their
own ideas, or shall I say their own years?),
one of the many unmarried English
ladies who are to be found in all
the hotels upon every highway in Europe,
and even, I believe, beyomi Europe.
I am obliged to say that I think there are
far too many of us about the world. I am
not one who despises my own kind, or pre
tends to prefer men's society, or any of
those afiectatlons which are current; but I
confess that I like a little variety, and that
to be surrounded solely by persons of my
own sex,, in pretty much the same condi
tions of life, about my own age, and, in
short, reproductions of me with little local
differences, is a thing I find tiresome. At
Bordighera, ior instance, and various other
such places, there were about 20 of us round
the aiodest table d'hote, to about three
men. And snch men. A mild old parson,
of whom one could never certainly say
which was he and which was his wife: a
delicate youth, taking great care of himself;
and some other nondescript This was too
mnch of a good thing. The spinster ladies
of England are a very good thing; my
dearest friends are among them; bnt ton
jonra perdrlx the proverb is somewhat
musty. Apparently men don't feel the tame
objection to herd continually with their like,
or else clnbs and smoking rooms would not
be so attractive to them. Bat perhaps this it
because they have been more 'widely scat
tered about the world,and have more varied
experiences with whieh to amuse or edify
each other. I, for my part, should like a
little more variety abng my dally asso
ciates; though Ionf ess I do not see how it
is to be vended. Forlt would be aa Impos

PARESIS THE BROKER'S DISEASE.
A Mania for Stealing Shoes Amonsr the
Peculiar Examples.
WHT SO MAN! ETAGE FOLKS GO INSANE
New Yobk, Aug. a 'Wall street it a
great feeder of lunatio asylums. Broker
Sittare, who shot himself in the Manhattan
Club, is but the latest of a myriad victims
deprived of sanity as well as fortune in the
speculative whirlpool. Within the last ten
years more than 90 successful operators in
that great finanoial maelstrom, worth all
the way from 1 100.000.np to many millions,
have been confined at Bloomingdale. Three
of them out ot every five were afflicted with
the most rapid and fatal form of brain
disease paresis which is swiftly progres
sive and inevitably kills.
While comparatively rare among people
generally, paresis is the usual form of de
mentia among speculators. It may be
called the Wall street disease, being the
effect for whieh the cause is found in long
continued over-strain of the nervous system.
The gambler In stocks is not merely sub
jected continually to most acute anxieties,
but, because his business Is so intensely
stimulating, he can only find amusement in
artificial excitements. As a rule, he drinks
and dissipates otherwise, thus burning the
vital candle at both ends, until at length he
breaks down.
Derations of Paresis Victims.
One of the earliest symptoms of paresis is
apt to be the delusion of expected wealth.
The victim, very likely unsuspeoted as yet
being insane, informs his friends that he
has a scheme for making millions of dol
lars offhand. On the strength of his an
ticipated wishes he indulges in the wildest
an&moit absurd extravagances, baying 500
dozen silk umbrellas ior distribution among
his acquaintances, or. ordering a gross of
silver stewpans. If he is worth $100,000 he
is as likely as not to spend it all on dia
monds for his wife. Such an expenditure
is a trifle from his point of view, inasmuch
as he is on the point of possessing unlim
ited means. Thus it is very common for
such unfortunates to throw away their en
tire fortunes before proper restraint can be
put upon their actions.
"One of the most extraordinary forms of
insanity is a mania for stealing women's
shoes,'' said Dr. William Elliott Dold,
physician in charge at the Bloomingdale
Asylum, yesterday. "It is distinguished
as a disease by itself, and the Germans have
named it VFrauenschusteblmonomanle.' It
is more common among men than with the
other sex. There is one case on' reoord of a
young man whose sisters lost their left shoes
as fast as they could buy them. It was al
ways the left' one of each pair that was
taken. For a long time the thefts remained
a mystery, until one day the brother caught
a young woman in the street, threw her
down, tore off her left shoe and ran away
with it He was captured, and thus the se
cret was discovered.
Very Peculiar Mental Complaints.
"Another strange mental complaint is
called the 'insanity of doubt,' the patient
being unable to make up his or her mind to
do or not to do the simplest thing. I have
known a girl afflioted in this way to stand
ior hours, deliberating whether to button or
not to button her coat She would be
equally incapable of deciding whether she
was willing to enter or to leave a room.
"Misophobia is a species of brain disease
which renders the unfortunate fearful of
imagined uncleanliness in -everything. She
will not wear the same gloves or other gar
ments twice, and one young woman who
used to be here would have spent all her
time in the bath if she had been permitted
to do so. In fact, she would not leave It un
less compelled, and before she came to the
asylum she did on one occasion remain for
12 hours continuously in the bathtub. Yet
another form of monomania is a dread of be
ing shut in. The patient has a horror of
being in any inclosed space like
a room, particularly with the doors
closed. A similar complaint is a
dread of heights. But more strange than
any of these, perhaps, is what the Trench
call the 'lolie a deux' a delusion shared by
two persons. This sympathetic insanity Is
not uncommon. It mayocour with husband
and wife, with brother and sister, or with
other' individuals who happen to be in
timately associated. B"or example, one will
imagine that he is pursued by enemies with
British suhjeot and forbid the elderly single
woman to travel, as it would be to attempt
to make them unlike each other, whioh is
beyond the power of man. It is true that
there is sometimes among us a married
woman in proud possession of a young
daughter, who makes a little variety; but as
she has generally been a widow for years,
and relapsed into our habits and ways,
without the independence on which we
pique ourselves, the difference is often in
finitesimal. The young daughters, indeed
but then it Is hard upon the poor girls to be
brought out of their opening day into our
robust, but often oynical, afternoon, and
harms their natural development One says
to tbem instinctively, "Ah, in my time,"
as I could not refrain from doing even to
my little friend in the omnibus; and oar
time was so much gayerthan theirs, with so
much more fun, and dancing and laughing
in it, and so many more of the other indi
viduals to dance and laugh with or so, at
least it appears now.
- This would be a hopeless digression, how
ever, if it were not necessary to show how
suitable I was to take up the lost stranger.
If there had been a man of my party be
would have certainly suggested that I knew
nothing whatever about the girl, and that
probably she was an impostor with design
upon my jewel box. (N. B. My jewel
box is not very richly provided.and I never
take it about with" me when I travel.) I
may be told that men are more, not less,
charitable than ladies to feminine wander
ers who are young and pretty; but this I.do
not believe. There may be cases in which
sentiments other than charitable come in;
but I have always found them very sus
picious of what they call adventuresses
perhaps because they know more of that
kind than we do. Having no men of mv
party, Johnson, who possesses certain of J
their qualities, assumed tne part, and
looked very severely at my poor little girl:
though how anyone with half an eye should
not have seen the perfect simple fact of that
little personage I cannot understand. How
ever, 'when we arrived at the hotel, I left
the child to give her own instructions as to
telegrams, and explain the search for
missing parents upon whioh she desired the
porter that guide, philosopher, and friend
of all perplexed travelers at once to be
sent; which she did with the distinctness of
a person quite accustomed to give orders,
and not afraid to explain the dilemma In
which she found herselC It was only then
that I heard her name, and I confess that it
startled me a little to hear her give, not
one, but two, names of the persons to be in
quired'after, whom she had, notwithstand
ing, described to me aa her mother and
father with a curious transposition of the
usual order. "He had better go to all .best
hotels, and ask if there is anyone of the
name of Hall or Bobertson. Mrs. Robert
sonor Hall; or if there is any telegram
forme; I u Miss Robertson," she said.
It was all very prettily said, with the per
fect simplicity of a child who has nothing
.to conceal; but I confess that It startled me
ior a moment, and Johnson gave me a look.
Decidedly, besides being as tall and strong,
and usually a sort of protector in any
trouble for her heart lsas big as her body
Johnson is as suspicious as a man. However,
I need not say thi made ao difference to
designs upon his life, and the other will be
lieve confidently that such is the truth.
Forms of Partial Insanity. ,
"All of these curious forms of mania
come under the general head of 'paranoia,'
or partial insanity, the patient being ap
parently well in mind, save as to the par
ticular weakness or delusion suffered from.
We observe that society women who be
come mentally diseased are usually afflicted
with that form of insanity which Is termed
melancholia, though why this Is so nobody
knows. If it is to be reasonably surmised
that their' domestic - relations are
not so happy as those pf others of
their sex that would account for it
You would naturally suppose thai women
would be more docile when insane than
men, bnt the reverse is in fact' the case.' It
is the experience of the physicians in every
asylum that the females under their charge
are much more difficult to manage than the
males. Furthermore, the women are more
noisy and are more given fo using profane
language. It is a sad change brought about
by alienation of the mind, which very
commonly robs even the gentlewoman of all
restraints of propriety and delicacy.
'.'Stage-players are specially liable to
brain troubles. Their manner of life sub
jects them to much nervous exhaustion, and
they are apt to be dissipated. Five actors
and aotresses are at present confined in
Bloomingdale Asylum. Hartley Campbell,
Join McCullougn and Tony Hart all died
of paresis. The Drain of a patient who has
succumbed to this disease, on being dis
sected, is found to have undergone some re
markable changes. Under the microscope
its cellular structure exhibits abnormali
ties, and the membranes oorering it are
thickened and congested. The 'pia mater,'
instead of peeling off readily from the sur
face, is adherent to the convolutions be
neath. Kvtl Effects of Moderate Drinking.
"One of the most productive causes of
insanity is drinking of the regular and
'moderate' kind. I refer to the sort of in
dulgence habitual with men who are never
known to be perceptibly under the influence
of liquor. They attend to business prop
erly, bat, from the morning cocktail to the
nightcap before going to bed, they are con
tinually taking doses of alcohol. The
process is actually a species of slow poison
ing. Depending to a great extent upon the
constitution of the individual, it may re-
quire few or many years . to produce effects
in the shape of disease of the body or mind;
but sooner or later, if the person lives long
enough, it is certain to attack the brain."

So Declares Commissioner Hoyne When
Asked for the Arrest of Canadians.
Chicago, Aug. 8. An unsuccessful at
tempt was made yesterday by the Chicago
Musical Union to secure the arrest of the
famous Thirteenth Batallion band, of Ham
ilton, Ontario, as it passed through the city
en route to Denver, on the allegation that
it had come into this country in violation of
the alien labor law, being under contract to
play for the St Bernard Commandery, of
this city.
On behalf of the baDd it was stated that it
was under no contraot to play for any com
mandery in this country and was merely in
attendance on the Hamilton Commandery.
United States Commissioner Hoyne de
clined to issue warrants on this ground and
for the farther reason that musicians are
artists and exempt from the operation of
the law.

me, and when we were seated together up
stairs in the rooms which had been engaged
for me beforehand (I like to travel com
fortably) beside a nice little fire, with our
cloaks and wraps thrown off, and Johnson
already in the room Deyond with her Etna
making a pleasant fragrance of tea, the
mystery was very speedily and very simply
unfolded. I need not say that I was full of
curiosity; bnt I am not sure that it was
this feeling or rather a still more natural
Impulse which made me suggest that if the
porter found them, of course her father
would come immediately to take her to the
much-desired mamma.
"Ob, mother will come herself," sho said
quickly; and then with a little embarrassed
laugh. "You will think it the strangest
thing but though, of course, I shall have
to call him father, and there is no other
name to give him I have never seen him
yet"
"You have never seen your father," I
cried.
And then she told me with a little
blush, as If she were somehow in
fault, twisting about a little ring on
her finger, with her eyes fixed upon
it, that she had been for a long time in
school in Germany ior her education,
though her home was in England; that as
mamma's health would not permit her to
live in either country, she had been spend
ing the winter on the Riviera, at Nice and
other places; and that, as a matter of faot,
Mrs, Bobertson had married and become
Mrs. Hall since her daughter saw her last
"And I can't tret used to the new names."
she said; "I am always forgetting; perhaps
that is why we have missed each other, for
lam afraid now that I directed the tele
gram when I started to Mrs. Robertson In
stead of Mrs. Hall. And 1 have never seen
him at all."
"It is curious, eeralnly; but I hope yon
will like him very maoh when you do see
him." f said.
She gave herhead the faintest little shake,
bat she said, "Ob, I hope so," hurriedly, as
if that was a discussion into which she did
not care to enter. Poor little thing; her
heart was sore over this new relationship.
It mast be hard upon the children when a
woman marries again, though, of course, to
forbid a woman to marry again, or even dis
approve of her doing so at least, without
full knowledge of the circumstances would
be harder still. We sat there for a little
while very comfortably, enjoying the rest
and quiet after the jingle and shaking of
the train, and then I proposed that we
should go down to the table d'hote dinner.
Tables d'hote, like other things, are not
what they used to be. When I was a girl
they were amusing, and one saw all lorts of
people. They are not in the least amusing
now, bnt I keep the old habit of going down
to them, partly because it is less trouble and
also because I object to the smell of food in
my private room.
Mv little companion followed me lan
guidly, deolaring that she did not want
anything, and would rather stay upstairs;
but I know at her age appetite comes with
the sight of food, however any contrariety
or misfortune may seem, to have driven it
awar. "We were but half-war down the
stairs, however, whea we encountered the
A VIKING SHIP
Found 140 Feet Below the Surface Near
Pandy Hook Lighthouse Contractors
Encounter It la Sinking a 'Well
Posstb'y Treasure lathe Hold.
New Yobk, Aug. 8. SptddL A ship
that was sunk ages ago was a few days since
discovered imbedded in sandy clay 140 feet
below a point several miles outside of
Sandy Hook.
Some weeks ago Isaao Hathaway Ss Co..
civil engineers and contractors, who hail
from Pennsylvania,bat have much public
work In this neighborhood, began opera
tions on the foundation of a new light
house on Orchard Shoals. The water at
this spot was growing shallower every
year. The sand forming the surface of the
bottom of the bay is so hard that after 100
tons of Iron work had been pnt in place the
heavy structure sank only an inch or two.
To get a full and better supply of fresh
water the contractors decided to drive a
well at the point at which they worked.
About ten days ago 1,200 feet of two sizes
of iron piping arrived and work began.
Between 125 and 140 feet down the pipe
met a deposit of bine clay mixed with sand
finer than mustard seed. Then the sharp
steel cut the hull of the burled ship, but
they were unaware of it until strange
jetsam began tumbling out of its top. The
tubes passed through her deck and hold,
then through her bottom or side and again
entered another bed of sand.
The pieces of deck brought to the surface
were of oak and in a fair state ot preserva
tion. It is estimated that her bottom rests
in a sand cradle about 160 feet beneath the
bottom of the bay. The depth at which she
lays and the uncommon hardness of the
mountain of sand she lies buried under,
makes her discoverers believe she was a
vessel of some adventurous Norsemen, and
went down before New Amsterdam was on
the charts.

panied by a stout and oomely lady with her
full but charming countenance half hidden
under a white gauze veil, and followed by a
man who was not so prepossessing. And
then I heard, a little scream behind me, and
I was nearly pushed over while my charge
made a spring into her mother's arms. I
ought to have been delighted, I know; but
I fear the only pleasure this gave me was
the conviction that there and then John
son must be convinced that she was no Im
poster, and that every word ot her story
was true.
Of course, Mrs. BobertBon, or Hall, over
whelmed me with thanks. What would
Effle have done without me? How could
she thank me enough for my goodness to
her child. Also, of coarse, the upshot was
that I went down to the table d'hote much
diminished in my prospective glory (fori had
felt that the general interest and cariosity
woald be excited by the sight of my pretty
little companion) and much abashed in my
spirits, having a very dnil and lonely meal
to look forward to, instead of the cheerful
and amusing repast which I had expected,
with what almost seemed something like a
daughter of my own by my side which
prognostic came perfectly trae. It was a
most uninteresting assembly at the table
d'hote, which was served at small tables,
very nice for a family, but solitary for one
person, who was thus made to feel beyond
doubt that she was dining aDsoiateiy aione,
though in sight of all the world.
After dinner while I sat lonelr over my
fire, feeling very tired, yet without energy
enough to go to bed, the mother and daugh
ter came to see me. Mrs. Bobertson, or
rather Mrs. Hall butlinstinctively felt the
same difficulty as her child did about the
name, which was wholly ridiculous on my
part, as I had never heard of the woman
before was by no means of the perfect ap-
Searance of ladyhood and gentleness which
istlngulshed her daughter. She was a
pretty woman, rather florid, with a laugh
ing, simple face; the kind of woman one
could, not bat like, bat who evidently was
open" to be married by any schemer who
chose, or to do anything which was warmly
urged upon her, and which It could be made
to appear pleasant to do. She was dressed
as like a bride as a certain lingering tense
of decorum and what was perhaps more
effectual consciousness that light colors
were not beooming to her ample figure,
would permit her to be; her hair built up on
the top of her head in all manners of puffs
and bows (she had pretty hair), and her
gown made according to "the last and most
elaborate rules of fashion. How she had
managed to ex'erelse so muoh good taste in
respect to her child, and to show to little in
herself was what I would not make out,
and there was a mixture in her of elation
and nervousness whioh was still more tor
prising to me. It was evident that she waa
very proud of her new husband, whom she
quoted at every moment Colonel Hall
had gone to smoke hit olgar, "for you know,
nothing will ever mske up for the want of
their smoke," she said (as if I either knew

that she was a little afraid of this brand

with a clang of all the bracelets and ban
