LANCAsTER. JUNE II. 1885
Malady That Incapacitates.

King Ludwig, of Bavaria, has been
deposed by the ministers of the state upon
the report of physicians appointed to ex-
anime his mental condition, who declare
that his malady incapacitates him from
governing properly.
If inability to govern properly is cause
for deposition from office, as it would
naturally seem to be, there are large
number of governors throughout the
world who are eligible for removal And
still they are not threatened with it. They
are safe while their mental malady is not
officially noted and the insane asylum
authorities keep away from them. King
Ludwig has been left TO his nominal
sovereignty as long as possible, and until
the burthen upon the ration of his ex-
travagance has become too heavy to be
further borne. Now his incapacity tc
govern has been at length declared.
1t would be very good thing if som,
sa satisfactory test could be put upon mel
while they move about in the world tt
determine whether they are of sound
mind but the line between the sufficient.
ly and insufliciently sane is so impossible to
define that this can never be ; and lawyers
will continue, while the world lasts, to draw
great fees in the undertaking to establish
the sanity or insanity of those who leave
much money behind them. Lancaster a
few years ago had prominent citizen
whom a jury in Judge Buffers court in
Philadelphia has just pronounced to have
been insane, because he left his estate TO
be used to teach young men what vocation
IN life they were best adapted for
This at least was the intent of
Mr.. Ditmarsh provision, which Judge
Butler, we understand, declared it to have
been too uncertainty expressed to be mad,
effective; and, doubtless, the jury in de
claring without leaving their seats, thai
the will was the product of an insan,
mind, were persuaded to their conclusion
not by the philanthropic purpose of the tes
tator to aid young men in choosing an oc
cupatiOD, but by the loose. Ineffective an,
incoherent expression of his idea. Mr.
Ditmars put it, as he was accustomed {,
put his points at the Howard evenings, to,
hazily to be clearly understood. With al
his eccentricity he did not have the repute
among us of one incapable of attending tC
his own affairs. He would not have been
pronounced insane if he had left
his property to his relatives; which
is another caution to the aspiii ingly benev-
olent to make their benefactions while they
live. 1t would be well, as we have sug.
gested, If they could get themselves officially
examined and stamped rs sane, and be
licensed to make their wills, while they
live; and perhaps legislation of this kind
will he demanded some day to clog the
stream of litigation over wills.

HER RISE AND F4EL.
Checkered Career of u Woman Famous for II er
BeauIy and Her Grimes.

Beauty and Her Crimes.
Sophie Elkins famed in New York quar-
ter of a century ago for her beauty, and IA
nous since in this country and abroad Tor her
crimes, stood wreck of her former self in
the prisoners dock at the court OF special
sessions the other day, and after a vain
effort to make the court believe that a roll of
silk which had dropped from beneath her
cloak when detective was leading her to
the searching room OF large uptown dry
goods store, had been given her by some
woman whom she didn't know, was sent t.
the Island Tor six months.
When she was Il years old (she is now
39) and was called the prettiest girl in New
YORK. she lived with her father, who NAV
once have had a whole name. but was known
to the police "Old Elkins, the fleece -
| Her exceedingly precocious affections were
| at that time won hy Ned Lyons, the eminent
| expert in what used to be ths science of ban k
| breaking, before the festive cashier invente
| the modern improved methods now in
vogue By patient attention to the business
| the pair accumulated comfortable fortune
| being paid great deal of the time by the
| state. Sophie, especially, in spite of her OK
| pertness at shop lifting, spent much of her
time behind the bars.
Fifteen years ago the couple concluded
that change of scene would be beneficial
to their constitutions and went to Europe,
They saw the foreign elephant extensively
and elabOrately, and in couple of years re.
turned to their native land dead broke.
Business at once became brisk with them
but occasionally misadventures interfered
