From the New York SUM-
GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN.
The Board OF Ply ysiefans Declare Him to
be OF Unsound Mind.

Monday afternoon, Doctors VIM.
Hammond and Thaddeus Cross, the
Board de Lundtico Lquirendo, ap-
pointed by Judge Daley, by request
of District Attorney Phelps, to de-
termine the condition of Mr.. George
Francis Train, forwarded their report
to the District Attorney. 1t was very
brief, merely declaring Mr.. Train to
be subject to delusions, irritations in
his conduct, and of unsound mind
DR.. VIM. Hammond subsequently
said to San reporter that he did not
think Mr.. Train dangerous lunatic,
and has refused to sign an affidavit
that he ought not to be at large. He
thought MIR. Train timid man, ex-
cept in his language, and was of the
opinion that he ought to be at once
released from confinement, as that
tended to aggravate his malady. "Mr.
Train," he said, "is a man of great
genius and fine education. His chief
illusions were that he was to be
Pagan Dictator, was the only man
who could save the country, aud was
the leader of the Internationals."
The reporter afterwards visited
District Attorney Phelps, in order to
ascertain what action he was going to
take on the report of the Medical
Board. Mr.: Phelps said that be
should lay the report before Judge
Daily, who, as first Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas, acted as
County Judge, and under the pro
visions OF the statute of 1912 he has
the power either to empanel jury to
decide the question of Mr.. Trains
sanity, or to send him to the Utics
Asylum on his own commitment
Mr.. Phelps has no doubt that Mr.
Train chad screw loose" some
where, but he thought him harmless
and not subject to hallucinations
fraught with danger to any one.
The medical commission has made
two visits to Mr.. Train; the last one
on Monday, receiving extra officia
sanction through the action of Judge
| Dowling, who went with the doctors
to Mr.. Trims cell.
Mr.. Train says very little about the
doctors decision. He thinks thai
there is conspiracy to get him into
an asylum. and he will quitely submi,
to the authorities, relying upon his
| friends to see him vindicated.
His friends are aroused, and they
will make a fight that promises the
strongest kind of diversion in Mr.
J Trains favor

The same little turn of mind which
we have been illustrating is some
times used intentionally. and perhaps
Il little malicously, and thus becomes
the property Of wit instead of blum
der. Thus we hear of n very polite
and impressive gentleman who said
to youth in the street:
Boy. may inquire where Robin
sons drug store is?"
Certainly. sir. replied the boy,
very respectfully.
"Wcll. sir" said the gentleman
after waiting awhile, "where is it?'

There was another boy who was

One day, at Lake George, party
of gentlemen strolling among the
beautiful islands on the lake, with
bad luck, espied little fellow with q
red shirt and q straw hat, dangling
line over the side of boat.

"what are you doins?"
Fishing" come the answer.
"Weil, OF course" said the gentle
man; but what do you catch?"
Fish, you fool! What do you
s'pose?"
"Did any of you ever see an ele-

"Where?" asked the teacher.
"On the elephant" said the boy,

OF this amount l have $lG0 900 in
bonds; so have $lS9, 600 in green
backs. This / can convert into gold
at 81 cents on the dollar, which will
give me In round numbers about
Sl7O, 900 in gold or bonds, which ever
l prefer. Which, together with my
other 500 900 in bonds, makes two
hundred aud seventy thousand dol
lars in gold or bonds, which, at six
per cent, will yield me SIG. 200 per
annum, payable in gold every six
months.
My investments outside of this are
trifing, and this is all have to show
for my loyalty.
It is true I have q comfortable
home, and my family is not very
large, else do sot see how / could
provide for them without taking my

gold and some other property, and I
never should have beer. abe to ac-
cumulate what little / have, but for
the fact that the rental income on my
interest in Loyal Block" (which was
built during gold war times) has
been sufficient to keep my family.
But hold moment; / had forgot
ten one thing: Icounted my interest
at S1s9 900 and added my bonds at
their face (s100, ,000). They are worth
a. little more in greenbacks. I shall
have no trouble in converting them
into currency at Is per cent. pre-
MUM. Thensay my bonds are worth
Sis, 900, which adds $15, 900 to my
former estimate.
So that my total amount is THREE
HUNDRED AND FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS
(S304 ,000.
Yet these internal "Grangers'
undertake to say that they have dug
all this out of the earth and paid it
over to me. I never got cent of
them, but on the contrary, it was my
money that was loaned to the mer-
chants who brought on goods from
the East and clothed them.
My money bought their hogs.
My money bought their cattle.
My money bought their wheat.
My money bought their produce.
My money pays their taxes.
Am I not public benefactor?
One such man as I am is worth
more than regiment of these dis
loyal, croaking "Grangers," who
never have cent to lend; but are
compelled to mortgage their farms
to get money of me to keep their
lands from tax sales and keep the
sheriff from selling off their young
cattle. hogs and produce, upon which
they can always realize more by hav-
ing such men as I to loan them
money and enable them to hold for
higher prices.
Iappeal to every loyal citizen and
demand that be protected from the
crazy mob that is crying "oppres-
sion!" "oppression!' I am the per-
sonifcation of the expressions
Yours in oppression.

is still composed of molten matter. and
that the lines traced by the volcanic chains
mark tue direction of vast fissures in the
earth's crust up which, by the pressure of
steam, the lava is forced. A grave obiec-
ton at once appears to the acceptance of
