The writer then goes on to speak of
the inadequacy of the Jaws providing
for the selection of medical Inspectors,
and the lack of endeavor to cure the
patients, TO provide them With any
intelligent occupation, or to encourage
the healthful exercise of their Hinds.
The picture presented on the whole
Is very dark one and suggests the
need of an immediate and thorough
reformation of the systems of aaylum
management. To what extens the
evils complained of prevail in this
country is matter of conjecture.
Many of the terrible stories ia the
newspapers of abuses perpetrated in
these institutions are sensational and
have little or no basis in fact. iAsy-

The unanimous verdict of the commit

1--WE, the committee appointed to hear
and investigate the case of Rev. A. w.
Li9htbonrne, exonerate him from any
and all charges OF immortality prefer re
against him, there being no proof that
he has acted in any sense immorally
but In the judgment Of the committee
he had better not exercise his minister

without the assent of his bishop"

Maud o. Gets shak On Up.

Maud g., the " Queen of the turf
passed through Cleveland on Friday
evening, on her way to Lexington, KY,
via Cincinnati. Instead of being quar-.
tered In the elegant private car usually
provided for her, the little mare was
making her trip in q rough baggage car
with rather limited room. Grant, her
groom, said that she had been very
much shaken up on the trip, and he was
concerned for her condition, fearing that
she had been injured 30 as to unfit her
for fast work on the turf.
No examinatio of the horse was
made, 30 that 1t Is impossible to state
whether she has really been injured by
the trip. 1t is probable that the jolt
ing has not done her any good. The
car she formerly Travelled in il still
owned by Vanderbilt, and was not sold
with the mare. Maud s. was charged
20 cents mile by tho railroad ccmpa-
ny.
