ing their Comforts.
BosroN April 26.-Dr G. A. Tucker, of
Australia, an expert who has examined
nearly all the insane asylums of the country,
visited the insane ward at Tewksbury two
weeks ago. He saw every patient, and found
everything remarkably clean. He found
only seven persons to care for 260 patients,
but was told that the appropriation would
allow no more. The inmates were neat and
clean. He thought it improper that female
patients should have male attendants, which
was one of the greatest evils at Tewksbury.
Witness would have the insane at Tewksbury
amused or employed constantly. The mode
of restraint there was the same as that en-
ployed at other institutions
Cornelius o. Brien testified that he went to
Tewksbury for q severe cold. Patients dn-
able to feed themselves had no one to assist
them. He had seen Walter Winning, nurse,
kick an old man named Moran down the
ward into his bed. Had also seen the latter
tied upon his bed for hours and nearly
choked to death by straps. Had known
French Joe," pauper, in charge of the
clothes room, sell shoes for 25 cents, and
when witness threatened to write to the Gov

out of the Office. Some time was spent in try
ing to show that this witness was quarelsome
and a chronic irunkard.
DIR. Edward G, West, of Roxbury, testified:

Medical School and member of the Massa-
chusetts Medical Society; came here in obe-
dience to subpoena and against my will; while
student went to Tewksbury to see hospital

used for this were screw-driver and a rat

and DR.. West commented: My opinion now
is that this was malpractice but was a stu
dent and could not interfere; told the Cap
tain, Tom and Charles, that l thought it was
case of malpractice, and 1 think l had a
conversation with Lathrop; he told me that

A CELEBRATED CASE.
Six Times Tried for Murder, and VIII Go
Free at Last.


Free at Last
ST. LOUIS April 26.-Charles F. Kring, the
famous murderer of Mrs. Dora BrOemser,
was lodged in Jail in 1875, and has only been
out three times since, the first being in 1881,
which was the first time he saw the earth or
sky in six years. This was to visit dying
sister. The other occasion was to be photo
graphed and to attend his sisters funeral.
Kring was twice tried and convicted of MUIR
der in the first degree and sestenced to hang,
in 1876 and 1881. The latter time he was
within twelve hours of execution, when a
stay was granted by the Supreme Court. In
addition, there were two mistrials and once
he pleaded guilty to murder in the second
degree, and was sentenced to twenty
withdrew his plea, however, when
sentence was passed. He said arrangements
had been made with the circuit attorney
that he should only receive ten years. He
was then placed on trial and again convicted
of murder in the first degree. His counsel
carried the case to the Supreme Court of the
United States, which recently reversed the
decision of the Missouri courts on peculiar
legal point. When Kring entered Jail, eight
years ago his weight was 100 pounds and he
was strong, robust, muscular man. To-day
he is emaciated, feeble-a mere skeleton, and
is suffering from consumption, and it is
thought he cannot live long. He will be
arraigned for murder in the second-degree,
but his acquittal is expected, as evidence
cannot again be procured. Dora Broemser.

Room for More Sheep.

Chicago Tribune
In view of the fact that the United States
imported wool largely, even when many mills
were closed and very few if any, were run
ming to their full capacity, and at time
when the financial straits of the people com
pelled them to buy most sparingly, it seems
safe to say that millions Of sheep may be
added to those now in this country, without
lowering the returns from sheep husbandry
below a paying point The United States
may even find it possible to supply the mar
kets of the Old World with mutton, as she
does now with cattle and hogs, and their
products. Sheep for slaughter have been
taken to Germany and to England The
demand for this purpose is great enough
to absorb all the really good sheep the
country has to spare, year by year,
at good figures. Three or four years ago a
strong impetus was given to the export trade
in sheep by the loss in Great Britain of mil
lions of sheep through the ravages of fuke,
or liver rot
Yet with all these circumstances favoring
a rigorous prosecution of sheep husbandry
there are now, even in the older and more
densely populated parts of the country, wide
areas in which few if any 1ocks are to be
found. In the new States the increase which
might easily be made in the number of sheep
without in the least overtaxng the food sup
ply is practically without limit. There is
wasting by the roadsides and in fence-rows
in the United States more forage than would
be needed to keep in thrifty condition all
the sheep in America.
In tine more closely-settled parts of the
country, the sheep is more conveniently
kept than any other animal, not excepting
the hog. In nearness to the consumer, East
ern farmers find some measure of protection
from the competition of those who keep
their flocks with very little expense on the
tree ranges of the plains. The cost of carry
ing wool over the railroads is about two
cents per 1000 miles, while the charge for
carrying sheep long distances practically pro-
hibits shipment of the carcasses of sheep
from the plains, to market for mutton:
That there are some difficulties in the way of
successful sheep-growing is true, but it re-
mains to be proved that they are greater
than are to be found in every other depart
ment of agriculture. Those who have expe-
rience declare that sheep-husbandry will be
found at least as profitable as any other
stock growing and more profitable, all things
considered, than almost any system OF crop
producing in general USE
