Chicago Inter-Ocean,
Thursday isgeneraly termed "nssne day.
in the county court. and it is not with
pleasure that Judge LOOMS contemplstes
his duties on this day each week. 1t
slways cad 10 SEQ human being bereft of
that which differentiates man from the rest
of the animal world, and for that reason II is
apscul'sry sad scene that is presented in
the county court room each and every
Thursday morning. The call reads, "Insane
caaes from TO H." and TO the general pub
lie it means that no other legal business will
be transacted between those hours but to the
Judge and the friends Of the poor untorlunates
VINO are to be there on trial it means three
hours of misery 10 which they must look
upon scenes that try mems nerves. Yester-
day morning there were eight csses heard,
and seven unfortunates sent to the insane
ssy lum at Kankakee and Jefferson.
A SAD CASE.
The first case heard was that of a young
man of twenty years, whose mind was not as
strong as his energy, and the verdict was IN
sane from over study. This was the prom
Using son OF General Macarthur, ex post
master Of Chicsgo. Two years ago young
Arthur Macarthur WAS found to have over>
taxed his brain, and was sent 10 Kankskee.
In The trial then bis classmates in school tee
tilted that he was tireless student and the
Jury decided that to his too close attention TO
his books was due his shattered reason. In
about six months afe he was sent to the
asylum the physician there pronounced him
cured and sent him to his home, where no
soon after became as close student as ever,
and now.it is again found necessary to con-
fine him 10 q mad house, he had no parties
ular Authorizations, but appeared sad and
moody when brought into the courtroom.
The second ase was tha of Amanda Nix
on, in whose family the disease was found to
be hereditary. she is a young woman OF 30
and for a number of years she and hor twin
sister have been at work in this city as tele,
graph operators. Her parents were insane.
