Insane are in force here When
the patients are put to bed the
bed room doors are closed and locked.
and the night watch takes the place of the
regular day attendance. Bat this night
watch has 16 wards to pass through, and
about two miles to travel in each round,
which occupies fully an hour and frequent
more. The consequence is, that the wards
are seyerally visited, and the bedrooms and
patients partially inspected, but once an
hour.
Is 1t matter of wonder then, that in the
absence OF the night watch, an act of suicide
will now and then occur2
The fact that such cases have not been
more frequent shows that the greatest vigi-
lance possible. with the force emu loved. and
the conditions, has actually been exercised.
Our reporter, who interviewed DR.. Walker
inspected one of his regular Official rs ports
In which he makes some suggestions well
calculated, IL carried into effect, to reduce
such cases of self-destruction to a minimum.
he claims that seclusiOn is an element
essential to suicide, and that the patients
should not, under any circumstances
be so confined in their bed rooms al night as
to be unable to see out into the halls of the
wards, and to be seen at any or all times by
those whose duty requires them TO occupy
or pass through the halls. He thinks that
the upper panels of the bed room doors
force so increased as to bring all the patients
under inspection at least once every half
hour. This change would involve but a
small additional expenditure of money, and
we have but little doubt that the trustees
will appreciate the force of the suggestions,
and carry them or some other measure OF
equal efficacy INTO effect.
The general management of the Insane
Hospital is not surpassed by that Of any
other similar institution in he country. The
floors OF the wards are kept scrupulously
clean. The dining rooms ana bed rooms
bear the closest inspection and
the Severest criticism. The best
Of order prevails among the patients,
and the quiet and peace which exists
throughout this great Institution are matters
OF astonishment TO the thousands who visit it
from every part of the country.
The records show that the per cent of
cures effected here is not surpassed by the
Oldest and best regulated hospitals In the
United States.
Oar reporter would have been very glad to
have met the superintendent DR.. Joseph q.
Rogers, of whom we have heretofore spoken
in terms OF high CONNIE ndation but unfortu-
netely that gentleman was al the time absent
on official business, and therefore was
Obliged TO defer an interview with the super
intendent until another opportunity pre-
sents- At 0me future time ne contemplates
going through the institution and writing
mp the many efficient officials for the benefit
OF the public.

SUICIDE AT INSANE HOSPITAL.
Remedies Suggested TO Prevent the Recur-
rencs of Similar Cases.

Mrs Jane Z. Craft, OF Greene county, COM
naitted suicide at the Insane Hospital, by
hanging, about 10 O'Clock Fridsy evening.
The patient, upon admission 10 the HOspi-
tai some months ago, was not represented
by her friends as ever having threatened or
attempted such thing. 1t seems, however,
that she went about her fatal work with
great GOODNESS and elaboration. She was
put to bad at the regular hour by her attend
ants, but afterward appears to have gotten
up and carefully made her bed. She then
tore her apron, which she had secreted
somewhere about the room, into strips,
making OF them a rope, one end of which
she fastened into the wire wicker work in
the transom over the door. She then must
have stepped on her bed and, after ADJUST
ing the cord about her neck, jumped off,
with the result as above described. An at
tsndant in passing observed the cord tied in
the wicker work, and Immediately
sprang upon a chair and cut
it into. A physician was then hastily sum-
moned, but too late to save the unfortunate
woman.
Upon hearing of this incident a reporter
was dispatched to the Asylum, and was
shown into the wards by Or. Walker, who
submits some facts aud suggestions that will
prove of considerable interest 70 our read
ers.
The present administration has been In
possession of the Hospital little more than
eight months, during which time four pa
tients have committed suicide In the depart
ment for women. In connection with this
point our reporter suggests that il should be
borne In mind that suicides are occurring
continuously throughout the country, and
that all the suspected suicidal people OF the
State are brought together at bis place. As
a matter of fact, fully one-haIf of the pa
tients in the female department OF the In
sane Hospital were represented in the pa
pers committing them TO this place as hav
ing attempted or threatened suicide, and
these representations are recorded on the
Hospital books.
Aside from this, about half Of those not so
represented are actually of q suicidal dIspo-
sitIon. By this showing three-quarters OF
the female patients are suIcidally inclined.
The question then presents itself: How
can these people be prevented from carrying
their fatal designs against themselves into
execution? The management lie obliged to
take the house as they find it. Over three
fourths of the bed rooms are designed to
accommodate but a single patient. AS far
as it is possible, the patients represented to
be dangerous to themselves are placed at
night IN double rooms, each with another
supposed TO be innocent and inoffensive.
But for the reason already stated, many
whose records have shown them TO have
threatened or attempted self-destruction can
not be 30 accommodated, and Of necessity
are placed OF night in eingle rooms. The
rules that apply in other Hospitals for the
