Report of superintendent of w. L.
Asylum.
APPOINTMENT oE STEWARD.

APPOINTMENT OF STEWARD.
On Wednesday last DIR. Blackford. Supt. w.
L. Asylum, read his second annual report to
the Board of Directors. The subjects discussed
were occupation and employment in the treat
ment OF the insane, mechanical restraint in
the asylums, suggestions to friends OF the
patients and to the public. what should be
done with the chronic insane, the new build
ings, changing the legal title of the Western
Lunatic Asylum, business of the superinten6.
emit and assistant physicians.
There have been admitted In the asylum
during the year 125 patients 81 males and IS
females. The total number of patients under
treatment during the year was 726. number
discharged was 80. There were about six hun
dred and twenty four applications for admis>
sion In the three white asylums in the State
during the year and about 1926 admitted. A
large number of he admissions were taken
from the jails In the State; about 23O unpro-
vided for in the State.
The statement suggested the propriety Of
making application to the Legislature to
change the legal style and title of the institu-
ton, and remaining 1t thu Western Insane
Asylum" or western Asylum for the In.
sane" either one of which would be more in
accord with the advance Of medical science
and the progress of modern civilization than
the name-"Western Lunatic Asylum"
This is very proper and sensible recon-.
mendation. as the term lunatic implies that
Luna, the moon, has the effect of rendering
persons insane, or of unsound mind-a foolish
superstition. The insane are not lunatics. but
those who believe in many absurd notions
about the influence of the moon are. as that 1t
produces insanity, and that the weather is in
fiuenced by It's phases, and that they indicate
when the seeds of vegetables should be
planted. and many other notions equally
absurd which have found a Judgment in the
minds of the ignorant and superstitious, and
which it will require long time for science
and education to eradicate.
The Board appointed Mr.. c. Miller, of this
city, Steward of the Asylum, to succeed Capt.
Lewis Hartman resigned. There wa large
number of applicants for the of1ice. Mr.. Mil
Ter is we'll qualified for the office. having had
that experience in business which will fit him
for the proper discharge of the varied duties
required of him. He entered Immediately
upon his work.

Mr.. Editor:-Once more the corridors of old

and energetic young men. Never before have
her prospects been brighter, or her success bet
ter assured.
There are about ITO students enrolled. q good
number of when are last years students; but
many of our old boys are teaching in the
schools. Our corps OF professors are thorough
ly in earnest, and they all seem to have the
interests of the students at heart. ever striving
to incite the student to faithful work. The
two literary societies opened with good num-
Der of old members In attendance and the roll
Is fast filling up with new names, Mr.. P. 8.
Stephenson of Southampton was elected Presi-
dent of the Philomathean, and Mr.. RC. Child
of Ashland. President of the Phi oenix. A move.
ment has been begun in the societies to estab-
,ish monthly paper. The movement thus
for has been successful. The paper will be
known as the college Monthly" and the first
issue will be to press by November Is, 1890. II
the work should prove successful. the societies
will be able to give a better and more stylish
celebration than they gave last year. We
earnestly ask the patronage of all interested in
the welfare of the Institution.

the promises Of the glorious gospel on which
she rested. and as she grew worse and worse,
she left many precious testimonies of Christ.
AS they caught her last words, she whispered.
"Jesus. blessed Jesus" and her spirit depart
ed to the realms of eternal day. Her funeral

An Unusual Rank.

William Murray, a guest of the Grand
Pacific. who is one of the biggest linen
manufacturers in Ireland, tells a story
which has local interest.
"You hear Of any number OF bogus

'but an American who affects title in
the Old World is somewhat rare. A year
ago this summer arrived at little town
in the South of Ireland called Dungar-

presence of an American official. Flags
were flying, bands playing, and every
thing was gay. AS was somewhat &C.

sTANLEY's CONVERSION.


In recent article on the great explorer
contributor to the Congrcgatonalist re-
marks: Among all the in eresting notices
of Stanley, We have seen no direct reference
to the change evidently wrought In his re-
ligious character by the experiences Of three
months with Livingstone in the wilds OF
Africa" Pertinent to that point is the fol-
lowing statement of Stanley's conversion
which found in the Congregationalist more
than 4 year ago; Il copy it from the para.
graph in my Scrap book.
''LivingStone taught me during those four
(sic) months that was with him. In 1871,
l went to him as preiudiccd as the biggest
atheist in London. To a reporter and cor
respondent such as 1, who had only to deal

this solitary old man there and asked n.y.
self: How on earth docs he stop here? Is
he cracked or what? What is it that inspires
him?
"For months after we met, simply found
myself listening to him, wondering mt the
old man carrying out what was said in the
Bible. Leave all things and follow me-
But little by little his sympathy for others
became contagious my sympathy wa'
aroused. Seeing his piety, his gentlencss,
his zeal, his carnestncss, and how he went
quietly about his business, was converted
by him, although he had not tried to do it,"
A powerful illustration this of the indirect
or unconscious influences of a godly man.

Electrified Snow.

In paper describing pe:ilous ascent
of Pixies Peak, Lieutenant John P. Fin
ley, United States Signal Service, says
that the ascent was made when the snow
was the deepest of all the year, and the
Lieutenant was accompanied by the Ser
gcart of the Station The ascent was
accomplished on muic back until zone
of deep snow was reached, and then the
animals were taken back to the halfway
house below Into this snow they some
times sank up TO their armpits, and saved
themselves from plunging deeper by
spreading out their arms. At one time
they crossed frozen crust in shape of u
turtles back, where foothold had to be
cut at each step, and where a misstep
would have sent them thousands of feet
down the mountain. Electric storms
sometimes were witnessed there when
each snowflake, charged with electricity,
discharged spark as it touched a mules
back in its fall. Electric sparks streamed
from the fngertips of upraiscd hands. In
their ascent they encountered storm o!
sleet that cut their faces so as to draw
blood. The last five miles was q fight
for life against wind, sleet, cold and

IT is fine question of law and NOR

bring up to justify the pumping of their
oil wells on Sunday. A LEGAL justice in
the oil regions has fined man for oper-

case is to be taken up to the higher
courts, on plea that if the oil wells
stand idle for day, the water, which
is the bane of every oil field, will fow
in and ruin them. For this reason the
oil people say their occupation is
work of necessity, and is not Sabbath
desecration within the meaning of the
law. An authoritative utterance on this

FOR JFsCS' SAKE.

FOR JESUS SAKE.
There is word which, murmured low
BY humblest child Of human woe,
Scars swiftest to the eternal ear,
And angels hush their hearts to hear
"For Jesus sake"
1t is the one true countersign
That passes every guard divine;
The golden key that, borne from far, o..
The inner temple can unbar-
For Jesus sake"
All precious things in earth and heaven
The Father to the Son hath given,
And we, through holy gates Of prayer,
May enter in and freely share
"For Jesus sake"
Though weary cares oppress our years,
And sorrow fills our cup with tears,
The hope that angels can not know,
The peace of God is ours below
''For Jesus sake"
Oh, let lis then that watchword take,
And bear Lies cross "for Jesus sake;"
And when we lay our burden down,
Be ours the vi, tory and the crown
For Jesus sake"
