Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, December 20.-Dr: W.
H. Mays, Superintendent of the Stock
ton Insane Asylum, has made his report,
in which he states that in 1888, 818 per-
sons were received in the asylum, show
ing falling off in the ratio of insanity.
The number of patients in the asylum at
the close of the fiscal year was 1,647. In
his report the Superintendent speaks of
the evils of overcrowding, which the ad-
ditional asylum at Agnes will not pre-
vent, and suggests that the asylum be
built in the southern part of the State.
He also complains of the lack of medical
assistance, and remarks that the
State asylums to-day would not reflect
much credit on an eighteenth century
institution. He mourns the failure of
the bill for additional medical assistance.
Idleness is bad for the patients, and they
have been provided with work and with
amusements. During the year sixty
five patients were allowed to leave the
Asylum, of whom only twelve were re.
turned for further treatment.

TIE FIGHT AT sUAKIM.
The Very Latest from the Sc,
of War.

The Very Latest from the Seat
OF War.
SUAKIM, December 20.-Three Zerebas
and stockade were built over the filled
trenches and manned by four Soudanese
battalions and British soldiers. The
space between them and the water forts
was occupied by a battalion of horse
artillery. The Emir of Drinkital is q
prisoner. He is wounded.
A dispatch to the Times from Suakim
says the prisoners say they believe all
the mounted gunners we're killed. All
tell the same story of privation and
cruelty at the hands Of the Mahdi and
Osman Digna. None of them wished to
fight, but were forced to do so or
persuaded to fight by promises of loot
at Suakim and other rewards. The
trenches were bare. They found no food,
clothing or money, but only rifles and
cartridges. The prisoners knew nothing
of reported capture of Emin or the fall
of the Equatorial provinces. The nat
ives assert that Handoub would fall at
the first approach of our troops. The
Government ought not to lose this
chance. The task is an easy one, as
there is not the slightest sign Of any ga
thering of local tribes.

SAN FRANcIsco, December 20.-The
Chamber Of Commerce adopted me-
mortal to Congress to-day denouncing
the aggressive action of the German

ney Smith, Exposition Commissioner, re-
ferred to the great demands for space
in the exposition and the necessity of
securing it as soon as possible. 1t is
desirable to show that California pro-
duces in commercial quantities products
hitherto regarded as belonging solely to
the Mediterranean district. Commits
sioner Haber, said he, intended to go to
New York about the end of the month,
and would try to get the necessary space,
if not for California alone, then for the

CALIFORNIA BANDITS.

A dispatch from San Francisco
says that Los Angeles county (Cal. J
has long been terrorized by we'll
armed band of outlaws, whose
desperate deeds and depredations
have menaced the public peace.
Last week the outlaws, headed by
Frank Fray, drove large herd of
cattle from Gen. Beall's ranch, near
Lancaster. Gen. Beall offered a
reward Of $500 each for the capture
of the thieves, dead or alive
'Rony" Crane, one of Beall's men, a
daring fighter, started III pursuit Of
Trays band. Fray heard of it, and
eluding his pursuer, rode into
Lancaster at the head of MS band
while Crane was absent. His men
were armed to the teeth. They
surrounded Cranes house and
burned it to the ground. The people
were powerless to interfere. After
the burning of the house the robbers
beat retreat, and as they galloped
out of town shots were fired at them,
but it does not appear that any Of
them were hit. An Indignation
meeting was held, and a posse Of
armed men was organized to follow
the trail Of the bandits.

LOVE AND HATE.

Look you, the man you hate-are
there not women who worship him,
children who look up to him? Who
sees the true man-you who hate
him, or they who love him. Love
is divine delight; it reaches out
over and around its object into the
illimitable; it is part of the Over
Soul, of the Infinite of God. Ha-
tired is painful; it strains and racks
the body, it blinds the vision, it
makes man conscious of his moral
limitations. Love sees the virtues
that are of the soul, hatred only the
diseases of the skin. Cali men have
their faults, and stealing was Bills, y
said a weeping widow over the
corpse of a desperate shot in at
tempted burglary. And grotesque,
ludicrous as the expression may
seem, she was right. She knew
that not in the robber, the law
breaker, the outcast, did the real
man shine forth, but in those rarer
moods of kindliness and generosity
when he was the true friend and
husband. Perhaps when two enc
mics, who have refused to see any
good in each other on this earth,
meet hereafter in another world,
free from the muddy vesture of de-
cay which clogs their vision here,
the first thought of each will be !:
''Is this the beautiful soul which l
maligned and hated?"
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1888-08-09

with the springing up of manufac-
turing institutions comes a diversity
OF crops among farmers. Manufac-
turers appear to afford a market for
varied home productions, and thus
the needed work of Investigation
begins. 1t is obvious that the at
tempt to infuse the resolve to diver
sify crops in sections where the peo-
pie are given over to the almost ex-
elusive planting Of cotton would be
futile, unless you could demonstrate
the accessibility of a market in
which to effect sales. But the min
ute you establish market by estab-
fishing manufactures, you have facts
which constitute a convincing argu-
ment. Therefore we shall expect
to see that the country surrounding
our city receives an impetus in de-
Velopment such as 1t has not known
heretofore when our new cotton fac
tories begin their operations.
Every factory, foundry or furnace
which is established in the South
proves blessing to the farmers and
helps to enhance their prosperity.
When manufacturing enterprises
dot the South as thickly as they do
the Middle and New England States
then will we see more prosperity
among Southern farmers than they
have ever before enjoyed, and the
South will become rich beyond the
widest dreams of it's most enthusi-
aStic friends.

SELDOM WHAT THEY SEEM.
All Agree on One Important Fact.

This is a sort of topsy-turvy
world. No one seems to be salts
fed.
One man is ordered to eat eggs
because they are nutritious, and an
other is cautioned to leave them
alone because they produce bile.
Robinson takes sherry to give
an appetite, while Brown who has a
wine cellar, can't touch a drop on
account of his apoplectic tenden-
cias.
The prize fighter reforms and be-
comes preacher, while the theolog-
ical student leaves his university to
become professional base ball pitch
er.
One rich man wears poor clothes
because he is rich and can do any,
thing, while poor man wears fine
clothes because he is poor and wants
to create the impression that he is
not.
One man escapes all the disease
that flesh is heir to and is killed on a
railroad another man goes through
a half dozen wars without scratch
and then dies of whooping cough.
The laborer with ten children
keeps out Of debt on SO week.
while many an unmarried bank Off
cial with Sl00a week can'tget along
without helping himself to the banks
fund.
Good people die and bad people
live. The man who is fat with
health can't get employment, and
the man who is making money hand
over fist has to give up business on
account of i'll health.
One man is spending all the mon
ey he can earn in taking girl to a
theater and sending her flowers, in
the hope that he may eventually
make her his wife, and his neiahbor
is spending all the gold he has say.
ed to get divorce.
The doctor tells Morrill, that if he
dosen't stop work and take a rest
he'll go into a decline, and then
tells Blakely that if he does not
abandon his sedentary position and
go off somewhere and work on a
farm he will die of torpidity of the
liver.
But all agree that Marietta has
the healthiest climate in the world.
