were many ladies, and all appeared deeply
interested in the animated scene below them.

the company's surgeon. The rules were
that each false move should constitute a
mark, and a man getting four marks was to
be dropped out. The thirty-fve men
started out in good shape. and were put
through the various movements for nearly
half an hour. While drilling some one
would make false move and the blank
look that would come into his face was
amusing At $50 the company was
marched out of the hall and into one of tie
ante-rOO where those having four marks
against them were dropped from the ranks
for the time being. Some of the men. who
are perhaps rifle more sensitive than
soldier should be- were thankful to the
captain for his delcacy and kindness in
retiring them when they were to be
dropped.
In a few moments eighteen men returned
seventeen having been dropped. Again the
drIl commenced. The company was put
through everything that the captain could
tn nix of, and when they retired eight men
were left 1t took some time to reduce this
number to four but it was finally done. the
marking getting c.OSer and closer as the
number of men diminished. The four who
last stood upon the floor were Sergt. Howe.
Sergt. Furnie. Sergt. Hudson and Private
Little. As they stood iii the center of the
hall they were rOnndlv chPered by their
comrades and by the spectators AS the
drill commenced on , more. all of the four
exhibited slight traces of nervousness. but
this soon wore off, and as the men gained
confidence they did some very pretty
work. Down they went, how
ever. on some Slight mistake. until Sergeant
Freeman Hudson was the only man who
had successfully passed the tedious drill.
He was vigorously applauded, and received
the medal amid much cheering. On the
whole, very creditable work was done by
the whole company. and it is but fair to
say that many of the men who went down
early did so through pure nervousness.
The inspectors expressed themselves as
well pleased with the drill AMI warmly
compl mented Capt. Amory upon the APP

AFEARFUL EXPERIENCE.
1 Sane woman Imprisoned in an
Asylum for Her Religious Views.


A very sensational case came yesterday
before the Orthodox Ministers association.
1t might have furnished the groundwork
for a story similar to Charles Reade'S
Hard Cash" Mrs. E. p. w. Packard, of
Chicago, is the heroine and related to the
interested dispensers of doctrine thrilling
story, of which the substance is briefly as
follows: Mrs. Packard is the daughter of
Congregational minister of Massachusetts
the wife of Rev. Packard, Presbyter-
ian preacher at MantenO, Kankakee county,
Ill. She had been educated a strict Calvan-
list and her husband is a member of the
Chicago preSbytery, but her dOctrinal views
began to change and finally she was con-
verted to the Congregational idea. She
was outSpOken in her belief. aud finally her
husband, fearing her influence on his flock
and her standing as Presbyterian. had
her arrested and committed to the insane
asylum at Jacksonville, without cause and
without trial. telling her at the same time
that he did so to destroy her moral influ
ence with the pariShOnerS. She was torn
from family of six children. with babe
Only eighteen months old, and though of
perfectly sound mind, was thrust into the
prison life of an asylum. Her friends ap-
corpus, but the one thing wanting was her
own expression of the wish for hearing.
Her husband. in whom her legal identity
was merged and lost refused to consent
and word was sent her that she must make
application herself. This she did. but the
warden Of the asylum was in collision with
her husband. and would not mail her
letter.
SUFFERING ALL IMAGINABLE ToRTUREs.
she was imprisoned three years. and finally
found herself in fair way tG become as
insane as her husband declared her. In this
extremity she managed to slip a letter
into the hadds of a stranger by whom it
was finally delivered to Judge Starr. A
writ of habeaS corpus promptly followed.
and Mr.. Packard was summoned to show
cause why she should be detained. After
jury trial of five days she was discharged.
the jury holding that instead of loss OF rea-
son. her course had shown the use of reason.
The husband promptly fed the country at
night, to avoid his just punishment, but
took with him all the children and all of
their effects. leaving her homeless and pen
niiesS. However, friends had interested
themselves in her behalf and she is now
thriving. Her object in calling on the asso-
citation was to secure an Endorsement of
bill she proposes to submit to the next Min
nesota legislature, giving to every patient
of an insane asylum the privilege of writing
one letter week to some outside friend.
without being subject to the surveillance
of the superintendent. The ministers lis
tened to her story with mingled horror and
sympathy. and referred the matter to a
committee for report in two weeks.
