NO MUSEUM TRUST.
A Wild-Eyed Rumor From the West Au.
thoritativeIy Denied.

A movement was yesterday reported to be
under way to consolidate all the dime muse
ums of the country into one syndicate, con-
trolled by the Barnum- Bailey combination.
j. w. Flocker, Manager of the Casino Mu-
scum, was asked about the matter last night
and laughed at the idea. He said: Of
course consolidation of the museum bust
ness would be a money-making investment.
but it is not being done. The names YOU
show me in the list prove that. There is
Cole & Middleton's, which has changed
hands in a very short time, and no money
could buy out the present proprietors The
investment is claimed to be s., 0OO, 900, but
that money would not begin to buy out the
dime museum interests of the country, I
am perfectly satisfied that the interests of
the Casino are not for sale, and know we'll
that others are fully as independent When
a man is making money it is poor time to
sell out his business"

Complaint was made yesterday morning
to Agent Dean, of the Anti-Cruelty So

shape. One, he said, had a badly swollen
leg, and was not at all fit to be used. Others
are SO poor that coffee sacks or others articles
are placed between their bodies and the
harness to keep the leather from chatting
the prominences over the bones. Mr.. Dean
says that he will take action on Monday.

The Gaelic SirUer.

Gaelic songs OF which the people
are so fond. and which they sing 50
admirably, are no less remarkable for
their freedom from the slightest faint
OF impurity or indelicacy than for their
native vigor and simplicity, whatever
the theme. When wo assert that they
are always well sung, the reader will
probably wonder how this should be
possible when we at the same time Ia
make the admission that even the most
delightful singers are as n rule utterly
destitute OF any scientific knowledge
OF music. OF musical rules and must
cal terms they know nothing. Song is
with them as with the wild birds oil
their native woods and wilds, an in.
stinct, an inspiration; and it is simply
the fact, strange as 1t may seem, that
the native singer who knows not note
OF music from the scientific standpoint
will render Gaelic air more unsteady
and better in every way than the most
accomplished musician you can per-
suade to attempt 1t. The philosophy
and motif OF Gaelic song, grave or
gay, are so closely intertwisted, so in
timately blended with the melody that
only a native singer can give them full
musical utterance; and better, para
doxical as it may seem, when he Is
totally ignorant of music as written
and taught than when he has had any
amount you please OF scientific"
training. Good Words.

COOK CoUNTY's DISGRACE.
Further Evidence OF tho Ubiquitous
Practices at the Insane Asylum.

In the insane asylum investigation
in Chicago, May 25th, DR.. Daniel X.
Brewer said the reputation OF the coun-
ty asylum was such that he would
never have n patient committed there
II there was any other place to send
HIM, He said the asylum was poorly
located and should be moved away
from the poor house and surrounding
saloons. Patients on parole were lia-
Bile TO patronize tho saloons, He said
that on visit TO tho asylum he had
seen four patients packed like sardines
into a room designed for one. Two
patients occupied u single bed, the feet
OF one patient to the head OF his bod
fellow, The asylum, no thought should
be turned over to tho poor house for
the accommodation OF paupers whose
quarters were crowded. DIR. Brewer
said that Mr.. Aldclch's idea Of sectar-
ian asylums was scarcely feasible.
These asylums must be supported, and
though u small charge for each patient
would suffice, this was beyond the
reach Of tho poor insane. There was
no avoiding tho issue that tho tnx-pay-
ers must support I'm asylum. The in
vestigation will be continued, when
DR.. Spray, late superintendent OF the
asylum, will DO examined.
