says He believes the Charlie sion Will
Develop the Necessary Horse Power,

WASHINGTON, May lSth.-Chief Engineer Mel
vile is very stauch III the belief that the cruiser
Charleston will be successful in making the
necessary horse power on another trial. he
says the trouble is not serious and can be rem
edied aboard the ship. if indeed it hiss not been
already done The fact that the boilers made
steam so rapidly that they were blowing off dur
ing the trial is regarded by engineers as prom
islng realization OF the horse-powe er requirement
when the defective part of the engine is cor
rected and the steam can all be used Increased
speed is looked Tor upon the next trial because
coal is being used up rapidly and the vessel is
being lightened
The contract requires the vessel to show 1000
horse power il order that the builders may Sc
cure full contract price. She may be accepted
u she makes 5000 horse power, but any def
cheney below 1850 will subject the contractors
to penalty of Sl00 for each horse power lack
ing To succeed fully the vessel must develop
loo horse power more than she did Saturday

OF the trial trip LET US hope that the Charles

CHICAGO INSANE.
Horrible Treatment of the Unfortunate
Inmates Of an Asylum.

CHICAGO, May 18th. Judge Prendergast's
Courtroom was crowded this morning to hear
argument in the rule against County Agent For
ley and Superintendent Herman, of the Insane
Asylum. The Judge said this was not an inyes-
tigation of the superintendent. but of the insti-
tuition itself, and he proposed TO find out where
tbe trouble is that has existed for years.
Mrs. Helen Shedd, formerly President of the
Womens Protective Association, took the stand
She said she had visited the asylum on many
different occasions and had remained over
night there, but never slept. She said: II
never slept and never went through the wards
without il making me sick. 1 went there as a
well person, but invariably came away sick
On one visit there we discovered about fifty
patients suffering from scurvy. Looking farther,
we discovered that the inmates were being fed
on boiled pigs heads. That was all they had
Tor year, believe. No care was taken even
in preparing the outrageous food that was fur
risned. Once week they had potatoes That
was on Sundays, and when the patients came

potatoes and the weak ones went without This

Not Much DAMAGE.

Anderson Shasta County, Enterprise
Grain is not so badly damaged here from
Tuesdays heavy hail and rain as was ex-
pected. Farmers in from their homes yes
terday reported patches which are lying
partly down, though not so badly pros
trated but that it will straighten up and
bring the anticipated heavy crop to its
owners. The fact that hay making had not
yet started here makes no loss in that crop
as was experienced in counties south of US.
The fruit is certainly more or less damaged.
In some instances trees have been broken
off by the wind and in many more they are
bent so that the branches touched the
ground. Some fruit-raisers report no DAM
age whatever. The damage in all classes
of farming will be comparatively light, and
the rains will be the means of maturing
well all grain crops and bringing large,
superior class of fruit.
