WEALTHY BUT INSANE.
MaAliona1xo Lehman's Luxuxdous Apart
msats In Bloomingdale Asylum.

1AAtaonaaxo Lehman's Luxurdous Apart
ments In Bloomingdale Asylum.
Descending to the first floor the locked
doors on the right Of the parlor open
upon the private suite of apartments
occupied by the insane Chicago million
afro =. ]. Lehman. Mr.. Lehman was
and is still the proprietor Of the biggest
retail dry goods store in Chicago.
Mr. Lehman is suffering from form
OF paresis, and although he is but AZ
years old there is not the slightest hope
OF his recovery. He lives like king in
his apartments, and his family pay for
the luxuries with royal iberality.
He has three apartments, which occu-
py all the right side of the house on the
lower floor. For these rooms and board
alone he pays $3.50 q week. Then he has
three special attendants who keep with
him night and day. These cost $42 a
week additional.
He keeps his horses and carriages and
rides out once day. One Of the attend
ants does the driving, while the other
two sit on either side of him. For the
many other luxuries he enjoys Mr.. Leh-
man pays out in all $4OO week. He
pays more than any other inmate of the
asylum.
While at times he is quiet and pleas
ant Mr.. Lehman is one Of the widest
men in the asylum when an insane fit
strikes him. It is because of this that
1t is necessary to keep three attendants
watching him. He has smashed thou
sands Of dollars worth Of furniture since
his incarceration. He is a tall, athletic
ally built man, and is possessed of enor-
NOUS strength when he becomes wild
Although his three attendants are all
trained athletes they have great difficulty
in holding him at times.
While he sleeps in one Of the small
rooms an attendant sits at his bedside
and watches all night, while the other
two sleep in the large room few feet
distant.
In addition to the usual iron gratings
on the windows several strong bars have
been placed. Several times week the
Chicago millionaire tries to break out of
the rooms. He has almost wrenched the
iron gratings from their places, and on
one occasion almost succeeded in climb
ing up the wall to the glass transom
above the top Of the door and breaking
through. To guard against repetition
of this the glass has been removed and
wooden boards have been nailed in it's
place.
About once month Mr.. Lehman's
wife comes on from Chicago to see her
husband. Sometimes she brings one of
her four children with her. She is not
permitted to speak to him or allow him
to see her.
While she stands in one part of the
grounds he is driven past her in his car
riage, and in this. way she is enabled to
catch brief glimpse Of his face.
In his rational moments Mr.. Lehman
talks to his attendants about his wife
and children. He says that he has the
sweetest family in the world ard that
they all love him.
In his parlor Mr.. Lehman has hand
somely carved organ. He is very fond
of music and is musician of no insig-
nifcant skill. He plays upon the organ
at times half the day and completely en-
chants the other inmates of the house,

Electric Lights in . Theatre.

An electrician who visited the Lyric
theatre in London, where very COM
plete electrical installation has been put
in for theatrical purposes, says that the
arrangements on the stage are perfect,
and he has never seen any theatre in
which the light from the battens can be
varied both in intensity and color to SO
great an extent and with such ease. No
limelights are used, the necessary effects
being produced by portable arc lamps.

sums as low as 25 cents and issuing to each de-
positor pass book.
AS an aid to this department of our Sa wings
Bank and for the purpose Of encouraging Small
Savings by all persons both old aud young, we
have decided 10 introduce what is known as the
SCENT DEPOSIT STAMP.
We will issue 5-cent Stamp, about the size of
U. s. Government stamp, bearing the name of
our Bank.
To the purchaser of two of these stamps will
be given blank book containing ten leaves,
each leaf ruled. for twenty stamps.
On presenta tion to the Bank of one of these
leaves with 20 stamps, pass book will be is
sned to the depositor showing deposit of one
according to the rules of the bank Every time
a leaf filled with twenty stamps is presented, a
dollar credit will be entered in the pass-book,
In order to facilitate the working of the sys-
tenn and in order to enable all desiring to avail
themselves of its benefits, to secure the stamps
and blank books we will have agents in various
and convenient parts of the city and county,
who. on the purchase of two or more stamps,
will give to such depositors blank book, The
stamps and filled one leaf can send or
bring the same to the Bank and secure his pass
book.
This cent feature of Savings Deposits has
been successfully operated in many of the Eu-
ropean and several of the prosperous and pr o.
gressive American Savings Banks: notably the
Citizens Savings Bank in Detroit. All who have
mad experience with the workings of this sys-
tenn testify to its benefcient effects in augment
ing the bank deposits and in facilitating the
making of small savings, which Will soon ac-
cumulate and lay the foundation for future sue
cess
Believing that it is province of Savings
Bank to receive and encourage the making OF
small deposits by both children and grown
people as well as to receive the larger accounts
of the more we'll to do, we have decided to
adopt this Cent Stamp System as the simplest
and most effective way of obtaining the end
desired.
We are pleased to announce to the public that
in a short time we will publish in the daily
papers complete list of our agents of whom
these Cent stamps and blank books can be OBJ
tained.

EDITORS INDEX: have never been
addicted to the habit of writing cards
to the public. This mode of warfare
has usually been controlled by such lit
erary champions as G. M. Martin, VIM.
Mobley, Jerry Simpson, and literary
lights OF lesser brilliancy. The card of
| w. w. Cook, in your issue of February
18th, is so badly shaded that it ought
to have reply. think that instead
OF Capt. Rogers making arrangements
for the First National bank to furnish
his bond, the proposition came from the
| officers of the First National bank, one
OF whom was w. w. Cook, to furnish
him bond on condition that he deposit
the county funds with them. This was
Legitimate contract, and has never
been criticised, so far as l know. After
the law was passed making it the duty
OF the county commissioners to name a
county depository, the officers of the
Citizens National bank were repeatedly
consulted by Commissioners Fleming
and McGrath relative to making bid
for the county funds. 1t was fully un-
derstood that we were to be given All
opportunity to bid for the county funds,
and we were notified of the day and the
time when the matter would come up
before the board. The only reason l
know of why Commissioner Cook was
not consulted, was because we fully an
ticipated the limits of his judicial dis
cretion." when it came to placing the
county funds.
In regard to the unanimous decision
made by the board in secret session, if
such be true, it is question of yeracity
between Cook and McGrath. The over
weaving desire to shelter Capt. Rogers,
whose all Was at stake" is the silllest
kind of twaddle, because Cook and every
other person of ordinary sense knows
that when the commissioners ordered
the county treasurer to deposit his funds
in certain bank, under the law, and
that bank failed to account for any part
of the funds so deposited, no liability
could attach to the county treasurer or
any OF his bondsmen. 1t is tue that
the Citizens National bank knew that
their bid of per cent. would not be &C
cepted, for the reason that they had
been Informed of the decree made by
the court in ''Star Chamber" session,
and knew that the majority of the board
did not dare do otherwise than obey the
orders that had been made by the pow
ers that manipulated the machine. If
the bid of five per cent. had been &C
cepted, the bond would have been Civ
en-, and the Taxpayers would have re-
ceived the benefit. Whether it would
prove good or poor investment for
the bank, was a question with which
the commissioners had nothing to do.
Ii the bid of the Citizens National bank
was not seen by each commissioner, it
was because they refused to look at it.
| am aware that It's presentation was
treated with contemptuous, Wander
bilt "tax-payers-be-damned" express
sion by the chairman. Other counties,
much Weather than Barber, were re-
celving as high as eight per cent. for
their balances. Barber county commls-
sioners, for a number of years, have
been very pleasant gentlemen to do
business with, but they had mania
for jug-handle contracts.

1T Is announced from Rome that the
universal inqulsition has issued de-
cree, signed by Cardinal Monaco, and
published in the official organ Of the
vatican, abolishing the lenten fast and
abstinence of this year. Thisis extend
ed to the whole world, the letter says,
wherever the ordinances shall judge the
dispensation necessary. The reason
for setting aside the lenten obligation,
it Is claimed, is the prevailing influenza,
which is making such ravages in all
parts of Europe. and it is thought to
be prevalent in the United States. This
decree, it is said, will be quite sur
prise to Roman Catholics, as 1t is stated
to be the first one of the kind ever is
sued in the history of the church.

Secretary Mohler, of the state board
of agriculture, advises the farmers of
Kansas to hold on to their corn. He
says that not bushel should be sold at
present prices. His opinion is that if
the freight reduction granted recently
by the railroads, equal to II cents per
bushel, went directly into the pockets
of Kansas farmers, it would not be the
best solution of the corn problem. He
believes that corn now selling for II
cents will sell for Is cents in less than
four months, and If fed to stock % cents
will be recalled. He thinks that the
alliances of the state might store the
surplus corn, and arrange for the far
mers to draw or borrow money on it..
He thinks that any bank in Kansas
would gladly loan money on well-crib-
bed COMFORTABLY $40 on every 1000
bushels, at a rate of interest not exceed
ing II per cent. He then goes on to
show how a pen or CRIB can be oheaply
built. All of this reminds US that it is
easy to give advice to farmers. Build
ing weatberproOf cribs costs money !;
banks won't loan on corn not well-crib-
bed and well insured. Insurance costs
considerable. Then the bank interest
OF little old u per cent. is something !;
and then enough farmers will always
stay out to sell corn when they pleased,
and thus keep down the price. This
would soon bankrupt the
farmer who crfbbed corn and borrowed
money on it. Farmers. bold your corn
IL you can, but don't borrow money on
II. Figure some for yourselves.

E. B. Peck, the Mozart club listened to
an instructive production from Mrs. NJ.
w. Howe, of this city. her subject being
RUBENsTEIN.
From the time the drama was recog-
nlZed as an important factor in the
amusement or instruction of society
there has been at intervals some musi-
Cal genius OF the type of Wagner or
RuDenSteln. who have sought to ally it
with music for the expression of relig-
lous FEELING. So close is their affinity
That from the realistic though rude pas
sion plays OF Uberammergau in the 18th
century, as well as in Handlers "Resur-
rectlOn," Memberships Elijah and
the exquisite compositions of Mozart.
Ihe oratorlO or sacred cantata has been
sort or compromise between the stage
and the church.
To take full advantage of this close
connection of music with sacred drama
has been the strongest wish of Ruben
stein. To found school of classical
religious music to be made fully effect
I've by its living representation upon the
stage. For this purpose he desired to
dramatlze many of the most striking
events and characters OF the bible.
Whether by this union the spiritual
teaching of the church would become
obScured, or hidden under the SNOWY
materialism of the stage, or become
more effective with the musical drama
as assistant, belongs, like many difficult
social problems, to the future.
To those who remember the dull,
lonely, unartistic interiors of church
buildings forty or more years ago as
contrasted with the mellowed light
through stained windows, the magni-
hcent paintings, lovely banks of flowers,
and glorious music Of the present, many
things seem possible. If ever attained,
the triumph must be accredited to Rub
enstein. Born in 1929, in Russia, he
still lives, the greatest pianist of the
age. His compositions require such in
tense action they are said TO be less sat-
isfactorily rendered by others than by
himself. Called the lion of the piano.
and often the object of satire or bur
lesque, his music is yet full of tender
ness and pathos. More in harmony
with the era of the telephone. electric
light and Atlantic cable, than that older
time when an audience was delighted
with the blue Danuben and sObbed
over the " Last Rose of Summer" This
is we'll since the steam whistle has driv-
en- Nymph and Dryad from the grove !;
the elevated railway dissipatH15 the
crowds OF angel faces, dimly visible IN
old paintings. and even the traditional
witch with brOomstick accompaniment

flash OF the dynamo. NJ. w. HOWE
