THEODORE TILTON's FAMILY.
Bit Of Gossip About = Once Notable
Woman.

RA-4t-Ms
"A New York correspondent Says
Once in awhile the question is heard
ssWhat has become Of Mrs. Tilton r.
The little woman who was q few years
ago the most widely known American
woman In the world lives with her aged
mother Mrs. Morse, on Pacific street, in
Brooklyn, in peace and quiet. Ever
has lived In the same way. At no time
has she inhabited q garnet, taken in sew
ing for living, or lived in any Of the
poor ways rumor frequently declared
she did. The home Of Mrs. TiltOn with
her mother Is one Of taste, refinement
and elegance. Many Of the pictures
we're made famous by the oft-repeated
yarns in the court room Of how Theo-
dore, In his nightshirt, used 70 go around
rearranging them at all hours Of the
night, are to be seen on the walls Of her
present brown stone home. In the boys
bedroom is to be seen life-sized photo
Of their father, Theodore, taken when o
very young man, with his arms folded,
his head dropped upon his breast, his
eyes closed and his poetic locks curling
on his neck. The attitude and the facial
expression say, "Look at me and do
ought but admire IL you can. Rare
books and various art works embellieh
and beantify the home. Mrs. Tilton is
the same quiet, pious little woman that
she always was, only shade or two
sadder and much older. She has rare
faculty of trying to be cheerful and be-
lieves fully in the efficacy of prayer and
that what ssGod wills He wills, and His
creatures must follow His law TO be
saved hereafter. Her hair is snow white,
her figure q little more robust and
rounded, although still childish in
stature and form. Mr.. Tilton has never
stepped across that threshold since the
trial. The two sons, Carroll and Ralph.
are young men now, both occupying
good clerkships, and living with their
mother. The two daughters are both
married and both mothers. Alice, the
younger, lives In Chicago, and Mrs.
Tilton visited her not long since. That
Mrs. Tilton was ssforsaken by her
friends. = as the newspapers would have
IL four or five years ago, Is not true
either. The fact is, there is more intel
lectual company entertained in Mrs.
Tilton's home Ia the course Of 3 year
than that Of dozen families-'sbest
families-a told. Nothing would be
pIeasanter to Mrs. Tilton than to know
that the outside world had forgotten her.
To certain extent It has, but still she
has o large circle Of friends.

BUYING IN GAS STOCKS.
a Lizzie story Of shs Late Commodsrs
GarFison.


An instance of the shrewdness Of the
late Commodore Garrison, Of New York,
as we'll as Of the influence Of his name,
occurred ten or twelve years ago. Some
persons in New Orleans started q pro-
iect for q new gas company. In order
TO give solidity TO their enterprise they
treated with Garrison, and he agreed 10
furnish money TO carry ont the under
taking. The members Of the old gas
company, a very solid concern, at hrst
laughed ct the idea Of . rival, bat when
Il became known that Commodore Gar
rison was backing the new company,
they began to shake In their shoes.
Everybody IN New Orleans wanted to
take stock in the new company. The
cunning managers of the enterprise now
supposed that success was within their
grasp, and, coolly neglecting to call upon
their great hacker in New York for the
promised aid, they began to lay mains
and get ready for active work. IL was
not long before it leaked ont that Gar
rison was not in the new company after
all Therenpon the subscribers 10 stock,
who had just been SO eager, began to
back down. The managers could do
nothing, and the new gas concern was in
bad plight. All this was not lost upon
Commodore Garrison, who was not in
the best Of hulnOr over the attempt that
had been made to use him. He imme-
diately dispatched secret agent to New
Orleans, who quietly bought up. the
stock Of the new gas company until he
got the controlling interest, but without
any one suspecting who furnished the
v,nNno~y nInox, an ooaoaawnax.4 ~ an 49,.
cent was laid upon the remaining stock
holders, who as was intended, became
alarmed, and sold out their stock as fast
as they could. Garrison's agent clutched
it all, and when everything was in his
hands the fact was allowed to leak out
that the Commodore owned the new gas
light enterprise, and meant to push il
through. The news fell upon the old
company like a trip hammer. Their
stock dropped from leo to about so, and
there was terror among the stockholders.
a desperate onslaught was made upon
the Commodore. he was called the
enemy and destroyer Of the widows and
orphans who had put their money into
the old gaslight company. Garrison re-
manned perfectly calm.
'Well, gentlemen, " he said, ssIIl either
buy out your whole concern at par (the
stock of the old company amounted to.
about 81, O00, 00O), or I'll add 81, 900, 900
to your stock and we'll consolidate. Take
your choice. Otherwise I shall 90 on
and construct my works.
The old company thought it better to
have such man for an ally than rival,
and they accepted his offer to increase
their stock and consolidate. The agree
ment was hardly concluded before the
consolidated stock ran up to $50. Gar
riaon made q million or more, and the
persons who had undertaken to use him
for their advantage saw him reap ali the
benefit Of their scheme.

CHINESE GAMBLING.

A description of a Chinese lottery
or gambling game will be found in
our local columns. It will be seen
that no more perfect swindling
scheme could be devised, and the
wonder is that so many Cinnamon,
not to speak of natives and whites,
are taken in by it.. But the fascina-
ten of a game of chance is appa-
rently too much for them to resist,
and they deliberately throw away
their money in the most reckless
manner, the chance of their winning
being exceedingly remote. The law
against gambling is very defective,
and we recognize the difficulty in the
way of securing conviction under
the statute; nevertheless we sincerely
hope that this will take place in the
cases now before the Court. When
the Legislature meets, this question
should be fully considered with a
view to enacting a bill which would
enable the police to keep Chinese
gambling in check, if not to suppress
it altogether. The possession of a
lottery ticket should be sufficient to
secure conviction. It should also be
made an offense to issue, sell or dis
tribute such tickets, and those who
"run the bank" should be reached in
a much more direct way than is now
possible. Inducements should also
be held out to informers by giving
them q portion of the fines. In this
way the vicious and demoralizing
practice of gambling would be
brought under control, and there
would be fewer temptations to ignor-
ant people to invest in games of
chance. It is notorious that there
are four Chinese lottery games rum
ming steadily in Honolulu, the earn
nings of which must sensibly dimin-
ish the vo lume of money in general
circulation.

On the 9th instant the closing quotation was

THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.

The Lunatic Asylum at Palama is
well situated, there being ample
scope for exercise and light field
labor on the extensive grounds sur
rounding the institution. The loca-
ton is pleasant and healthy, and the
inmates appear to be content, as far
as cOntentment is possible in their
unhappy condition. Mr.. William
Wright, although full-blOoded Ha-
waiian, makes an admirable super
intendent, being at once patient,
gentle and firm with those under his
charge. The food is wholesome and
abundant, the daily ration being con-
siderably in excess of what is deemed
sufficient for adults in similar public
institutions in the States.
But the Honolulu Insane Asylum
is very far from being as perfect as it
might be, or as we think it should be.
For example, it is hardly proper to
employ men as attendants on female
lunatics. But this is the existing
method. Native men are employed
to attend to and render all the delicate
Offices that may be required In the
care of the insane females in the insti-
tuition, several of whom are white
women. This is not proper, and
should be remedied, even at the ex-
pense of bringing trained female at
tendants, if necessary, from abroad.
The buildings are not adapted for
such an institution. An idea of their
general adaptibility for the safe keep
ing and treatment of lunatics may be
formed when it is stated that a skit-
tie alley was provided and equipped
at very considerable cost for the re-
creation of the INN ates, and that the
new addition was built with wide
glass windows, low placed, and with
out any protection or guard whatever.
Wire screens have since been placed
in front of several Of these windows;
but this would be a very slight OBJ
stacle to any lunatic with suicidal
mania. Indeed, in the old cells or
dormitories, which are kept as clean
and sweet .as possible, facilities fol-
suicide appear to have been provided
without stint. The buildings need a
thorough overhaul to render them al
all what they should be ASIAN asylum
for insane people, representing, as the
inmates do, nearly every race and
nationality frequenting these islands.
DR.. Webb, the medical officer in
charge. visits the Asylum daily, and
makes a point of seeing every inmate.
This constant attention by the med.
ical officer renders the task of the
superintendent easy, more especially
as DIR. Webb has had large experience
in the treatment of lunatics in New
York insane asylums and elsewhere
