OF
Dr. Gunster Siififlcst That Radical
Changes be Made.
IXSAXE SHOULD BE ARRESTED
After They Have Been Restrained for a
Time They Could Be Exaralncd-Talcs
of Woe Related for Benefit of
the Poor Board.
The poor board meeting yesterday
heard a word of advice from Dr. Gun
stt;r on the Bubjcct of sending phy
sicians to muke an examination of per
sons of unsound mind. The Insane
laws are so lnx that two doctors can
send a man to a lnuatlc asylum and
have him confined there for life by
simply .filling out a statement to the
effect that the individual is crazy.
There ought to be a change made, he
thought, In the position directors tuke.
When a man gives evidence of Insan
ity the proper person should go be
fore un alderman and swear out In
formation to that effect. Then a con
stable would arrest the Insane person
and lock him up. When he was pre
vented by reuson of restraint and con
llncment from violence two physicians
could be sent for and an examination
Into his sanity made.
He told of a case that he visited on
the South Side and found the man sit
ting In a room with access to the
kitchen, where deadly carving knives
abounded, and If that man desired It
was an easy matter for him to do mis
chief. Another case he knew of In
which the Insane man had a brace of
revolvers and was prevented from mur
der by a mere accident. Mrs. Swan
asked Dr. Gunster If he was ufrald to
go to the house of an Insane man, and
he told her he was not, that he did not
know what fear was, but It wus Just
like taking one's life In his hands. It
wus adopted as the sense of the board
thut hereafter the insane person will
be taken to the police station.'; ;
disc ot tanning I uinlly.
Mr. Shottort reported the case of the
Fanning family In the North End. Six
of the children are down with typhoid
fever, and the father goes Around In a
drunken condition. He engaged Miss
Jordan, a professional nurse, to at
tend the case, but thought her prices
were too high, $21 a week. On motion of
Mrs. Swan the case was referred back
to Mr. Shotten with full power to act.
Mrs. Rose Ann Hicks, of Keyser
Valley, hus a 16-year-old son, George,
who Is blind and feeble minded, but
likes music. She wanted to take Mr.
I.ugstaft over to her house so thut he
could see him, and she said he would be
surprised at the brightness of the boy's
mind. The board decided to place the
matter In Mr. LangstafTs hands.
Henry Johnson, a gentleman of color,
asked for relief. Mr. Johnson's left eye
looks to ward the celling and his well
modulated voice In connection with the
upward gazo made his appeal a very
supplicating one. He was naked where
he lived and answered in this way:
"Two alleys above the high school."
He works on Hotel Jermyn nnd tolls
at the rate of 10 shillings a day. Pay
day does not roll around regularly
enough for him and he asked the board
to lend him assistance for a little while.
Mr. Tropp said the man's wife came to
him and wanted relief, telling him that
her husband had left her. Johnson ex
plained that gossipy neighbors told her
to do that as It would excite more sym
pathy and that was one reason why he
came before the board and confessed
the truth at the expense of his wife's
veracity. The case was referred to Mrs.
Swan.
Thomas Graham, who applied at the
last meeting for admission to the home
was refused because because he was
Intoxicated. Yesterday he was pres
ent again, but penitent and sober, and
the board granted him admission to the
home.

PARTIES, EDDIXGS AND TEAS
The Gamut of the Week's Events Sounded
in Short Paragraphs-Guests and En-
tertainers-Personal Mention Re
duced to a Compact Compass.
Among the most delightfully ar
ranged, enjoyable and elaborate ban
quets of the year was that of the Scran
ton Civil and Social club and its guests
in the Bicycle club house Tuesday even
ing. It Is said that the order given
Huntington was almost carte blanche.
Anyhow, the presence of seventy of the
city's men best known In financial, pro
fessional and commercial circles, war
ranted the complete menu and exquisite
details. Aside from the banquet proper,
there is an Idea associated which can
not but bear fruit when Is agitated the
establishing of an industrial school in
the Scranton Young Men's Christian
association. Industrial training was
the topic discussed and the fine Italian
hand of some philanthropists was ap
parent In the presence of three of the
best known Young Men's Christian as
sociation officers of the country. They
fc-poke of the necessity and benefit of
manual training and, although no parti
cular reference was made to the needs
of the local association In this particu
lar, the gentlemen present will not be
surprised if they are asked to support
such a project In the near future.

'II II If
Any dearth of social activity nowa
days is, among thoughtful women, am
ply balanced by the opportunity given
them to discuss politics. It does not
follow that because she Cannot vote
woman doesn't have her say Just the
same. There was never a time in the
history of bounty politics when she
heard the subject more discussed than
now. The qualifications and hopes of
the various candidates are on the tip of
every man's tongue und it quite natur
ally follows that his wife should now
and then have a word or several words
to say. Her discussion of the Issues Is
perhaps rather vague and faulty In
particulars, but she never makes the
mistake of championing an unworthy
candidate, and a man Is very obtuse
who has the miutaken Jdea that she
don't wield a certain power behind the
throne. Woman Is not knee-deep In
politics, but . ,
II II II
During next week Miss Stewart, who
conducted last summer's ktrmess In
Honesdale, will be In the city, and pre
liminary arrangements will be made for
the Scranton klrmess to be given Feb.

of the Lackawanna hospital. The en
tertainment will be one of the Import
ant social affairs of the winter, and
will Include as participants some of the
bast known young ladles and men
of the city. The list of patronesses
has not been announced, but the fact
that many prominent women are Inter
ested Is evidence that the klrmess will
be a success financially and other
wise. II II II
Among the most delightful diversions
of the week was the chrysanthemum
reception given by Colonel and Mrs. H.
M. Boles, Wednesday afternoon, to the
congregation of the Second Presby
terian church and In the evening to the
members of the Young Women's Chris
tian asociatlon. Asldo from the chrys
anthemums there were also to be ad

specimens of ferns of all colots, sizes
and shapes, and palms and orange
trees. The 'great reception room, the

An orchestra played several delicious
airs during the evening.
