WEIGHTS FOR WALKERs.
How a Giddy Gotham Girl Expects to
Improve Her Gait.
From a Nea0 York Letter.


From Neao York Letter.
Here is something about fair walker
that you may believe If you wish to;
don't and yet can't prove that it is a lie.
The shoes were there to substantiate it,
anyhow, and it really isn't reasonable
that a shoemaker would go to the trouble
and expense or constructing a pair Of
good CATERS for the mere purpose of de-
ceivinR correspondent. They stood on
his counter, and taking them up / found
that they we're singularly weighted. In
each toe was slip of lead, like those
sometimes put on trOttlng horses to make
them throw out their feet freely. while on
the inside Of the ankles were small hunks
of leather, similar TO the devices for cur
ing horses Of the habit Of ''interfering"
The shoemaker said: "The girl for
whom I made those shoes 10 order expects
that they will improve her gait. She has
studied the treatment Of horses as TO
faults Of step, and her notion is that toe
weights and interferers are what Will i'm
part a freedom and springiness to her

CL0SE-SHAvING TRUSTEES.
The Economical Administration of the In
sane Hospital Board.

For some time there has been great dissatis-
faction and excitement among employees of the
Indiana Hospital for the Insane over order
made by the board of trustees, which, for petty
meannes, clothed as it is in the specious garb of
economy, certainly takes the cake No pre-
vious administration has ever been able to come
within gunshot of the economy" of the Har-
rison regime, as exemplfed in this order
A Journal reporter called at the hospital
yesterday and asked a sight of the order, and
Superintendent Fletcher complied with the re-
quest It read as follows:
It the order of the board of trustees that if any
OF the employees of the hospital shall become sick
ing their service in the hospital that during n
sickness said employe shall be doctored cared for and
nursed by the attendants at the hospital for
sonable time and for the time so sick absent on
account OF sickness, such employees shall receive no
pay for such time.
Where there are as in this hospital, 3G0 en-
p!oyes, and half or more of them women, it is
estimated that there will be about hundred
days of sickness among them each month, when
the half days and days of headaches and small
ailments are taken into consideration But these
hours and days of sickness of employees do not
cost the State any money as the employees who
are are well well not only wait upon the
0ASA WV dIteuu W tU0 uulleS Oh LuOSo
who are sick during their illness. The
close shaving trustees propose to dock" the
wages of those who are sick for the time thus lost
No previous administration has stopped to do so
contemplate thing to make little show of
saving. Perhaps the employees are in this way
to be made to pay for the Landers and Cooper
hogs that have died of the cholera. The trus-
tees in making this order have not looked
on the other side of the question to
enter credit for the overwork SO frequently
done by employees. There are times when the
work goes on far into the night, and tie workers
get no extra pay for their extra work. In no
instance has the board paid extra wages where
the attendants have worked day and night and
upon Sundays. as has often been the case.
The order is bitterly commented upon by the
employees, and held up in most unfayorable con
trast to the fair and honorable treatment they
have hitherto received

the Insane from Allen county. AS they stepped
from the hack which had conveyed them from
the city, Superintendent Fletcher took them
aside and talked with them. All forms of
law had been complied with, and yet to the Su-
perintendent it did not appear that they were
proper subjects for incarceration as lunatics
They were queer, that was all, and their
neighbors had taken it into their heads
that because they did not live as other people
that they were deranged. The man had been,
although Southern born, a soldier in the Union
army. He and his wife lived alone, without as
socates among the neighbors, satisfied with
each others society. When he worked
in the field she worked with him. and
when he went to town to sell his farm products
or to buy supplies she always went
with him. They were inseparable companions.
Such unusual conjugality was an offense to the
neighborhood, and the old couple were from time
to time admonished of the absurdity of their
course by charivari parties by the excellent peo
pie thereabouts and now and then shower of
stones ratified upon their dwelling.
The superintendent has written to the sheriff
of Allen county, and the chances are that these
two exceeding crazy persons will be turned loose
in few days, whether called for or not
