FRANK LAMOREE.
1t Is Decided That the Boy Is NOt
Insane.

1t Is Decided That the Boy Is NOt
Insane.
Frank Lamoree was before q luuatic
commission yesterday being examined
as to getting him to the insane asylum.
The immediate reason for this inquiry
was the arrest OF the boy on charge OF
forgery. There were great many wit
nesses ready to testify, but only two
were of any importance in the case.
These were the boys father and himself.
The father, James P. Lamoree, well.
known citizen of Los Angeles, was ex.
amined. He stated that the unfortunate
boy is "a years old; that he was born al
Oswego, New York; that when
about IL years old the child
was paralyzed, and that he has
never recovered from it since. He said
Frank was weak-minded boy at all
times, and that up to this time he is
treated more as a child than as man.
He has to be watched like child of
years old. His ailments affect both
body and mind. His left arm is
paralyzed, and all his right side is
paralyzed. His left eye is totally sight
less, and his right has suffered from the
paralysis. He is lame. being unable to
put the heel of one foot on the ground.
Mr.. Lamoree stated that ordinarily
Frank was not troublesome around the
house, but worked along as we'll as
could be expected. Every now and
then he has a moody, sullen spell,
and at such times he will get away and
procure liquor if he can. One glass OF
beer sets him crazy and makes him
think he is millionaire. Then he will
draw checks for any amount on all the
banks in the city. Outside of these fits
Frank is pretty well, and does as ne is
told. If he can be watched when one
comes on, he will recover in day or two
and go back to his normal condition. He
is never ferocious, and is only boisteroas
and headstrong when in liquor. Mr..
Lsmoree at one time paid man $50 a
Los Angeles daily herald., 1890-01-18

month and board to watch the boy. He
gave notice through the papers to saloon
men not let to him havs LIQUOR,
and to the public generally not to trust
him. He gave several policemen from
81 to So so each to notify the saloon men
on their beat not to trust Frank. He
stated that it was his desire to have the
care of the boy. Frank had been twice
in the asylum, and the doctor there wrote
both times that he was not q fit subject
for restraint there.
The boy was put on the stand and
asked number of questions. which he
answered with 30 much intelligence that
the Court and physicians decided he
should not be cent to Stockton.
There were perhaps dozen men in
the court, each OF whom held check
made on one bank or other on which
| Frank obtained money. When in one of
these fits, and full of beer, Frank has
often drawn these worthless checks and
obtained money. For long time Mr..
Lamoree redeemed all those presented to
him, but he found the burden q heavy
one to bear. He has repeatedly given
notice to dealers not to trust the boy.
Frank usually signs the name of
Frank LecOuvreur to his checks.
The boy looks like one that is
non compos naentis, and his father thinks
anyone who will be imposed on by such
a boy signing checks when drunk ought
to lose his money. 1t wac funny to be.
hold dozen men of business there with
their worthless bits of paper, all signed
by boy about whom there were grave
doubts as to his sanity, and whose face
plainly indicated that he was not
fright"
The boy was led back to Jail, where
he is held on charge of forgery. He lie
intelligent enough to make his case very
puzzling, and it is more than
possible that some jury may
sdjudge him a criminal instead of an
imbecile. Yet it would really seem as il
the man who would trust him did not
deserve much sympathy.
And the case of this boy recalls to
mind a most pressing need of this part
of the State. There ought to be home
for feeble minded persons in this end oi
California. 1t is subject which some
of the Assemblymen and Senators from
this county ought to move at the next
meeting Of the Legislature.

Hopes to Get One of Them Free.

Hopes to GET One of Them Free.
Major Horace Bell is nothing if not
persistent. He is still hard at work to get
either Frank Toal or F. M. Garrett out
of the penitentiary. He thinks it will oe
Toal. Frank swears if he ever gets free
again he will forever forswear liquor, and
live like good citizen. The Major says
the decision as to the police courts of
Oakland will surely free one or other
of his clients. Toal was COM
mitted by police Judge, and Garrett by
justice of the peace. Both courts can
not hold under the Oakland decision.
When Toal was sent to prison he made
and delivered to Major Bell an absolute
deed to all his property, which is valued
at $50, 900. The grantee of course holds
it in trust for Toal and his children, but
the deed is absolute.

AntipOdean Cannibals.

The savages of North Queensland, Aus
tralia, are still cannibals. The normal
condition of these savages is iuter-tribal
war, and, this, no doubt, was the state
of the earliest society. Every tribe, and
often sub. division of the same tribe, arc
ut feud with one another and all the rest !;
the stranger is universally regarded as
fair game, and especially as being provi-
dentially offered for the pot. A certain
path to distinction among them is skill
in furnishing human meat, which is not
to be considered staple, but as highly
priced luxury. When the black fellows
feel the need of Delmonico dinner, so
to speak, they send out their crafty man
hunters, and prepare to dish up the
stranger within their gates. Sometimes
the harmless necessary stranger is sadly
wanting. Then, if they are very sharp
set, they perhaps make an excuse for
killing one of their own women, OF a
plump baby or so. Babies. as an elc-
ment of the cuisine, are highly appre-
ciated, their tenderness being recalled
with watering of the mouth and gentle
sighs of satisfaction. Carl Lumholtz.

VICTIMS OF THIRST MADNESS.

The periodical desire for strong drink
which sometimes besetS individuals other
wise moral and exemplary is q species OF
paroxysmal mania beyond the control of the
patient. It is quite certain that there are
thousands Of cases of remittent drunkenness
which present the specific symptoms of dis
ease.
The periodical drunkard is not an habitual
dran-drinker. But at particular times ne
appears to be attacked with thirst madness
which deprives him Of the power OF yolltlon
and hurries him into the most terrible e1-
cess. During the interval between the par.
oxysms he may be a perfectly sober man.
For many weeks, or even months, he may
have steadily refused to taste droq>of
liquor; may, indeed, have felt no inclination
for it, but on the contrary regarded it with
disgust. And yet, when the fit time comes
on, the raging thirst for alcohol utterly par
alyzes his conscience and his will.
A man in this condition is a monomaniac,
and should be treated as one. If put under
proper restraint at the commencement OF
this furor, the dipsomaniac, in nine cases out
of ten, might be tided over his difficulty IN
the course of week, and a perseverance In
the course at the recurrence OF the halluclna-
ton would probably eventuate in complete
cure.
It's not easy to persuade the world that all
drunkenness is not voluntary. The law does
not recognize dipsomania 1t treats all in
ebriates alike This seems to be unjust, all
though it is hard to say where the line should
be drawn between free-win excess and that
which proceeds from an uncomfortable ma
nia,-Toledo Blade.

"Nine TailOrs Make q Man"

The meaning of the expression Mine
tailors make man." is traced to the sing
ular custom of tolling the church bell a
given number of times, at burial, to
denote the sex of the deceased. In some
places the custom is still extant, and is
generally three for child, six for a
woman, and nine for a man. These
strokes, of course were counted and had
an aritnmetical idea connected with them,
and thus the knell, at its conclusion, was
said to be tollcd or counted. BY degrees
this idea became confused or lost, and the
participlc "told' was referred to a sup
posed infinite ''to TOLL" instead of its
natural infinite ''to tell" BY carrying
the history of this error a little further,
We may arrive at an clucidation Of all
otherwise obscure provcrb. The strokes
told or counted at the end Of the kncll
were called from their office "tcllcrs. J"
This term YVES again changed into
.'taiIers," " from their sounding at the end
of tail" of the kncll; and nine of these
bcin" given to announce the deat! of m
adult male, gave rise to the saying
mine tailors make man.

Force Expended in Climbing Hill.

| The physical energy or force sometimes
excrtcd by the human body under certain
conditions is known to be astounding,
! but no one has ever taken the trouble to
put before us that force in figures. DR..
J. Buchhcister has now made Il most in
! tercsting calculation on the ':work done
by mountaineers in ascending heights,
which will serve as an illustration. Sup
posing amountainecr weighing pounds
! is making the ascent OF summit YOU
feet high from the point of starting, he
has to expend an amount of physical force
by multiplying his weight by the height to
! be assembled In the case assumed a
weight of 16S pounds multiplied by a
height of 1000 feet equals l, 176, 900
foot-pounds; or, in other words, l,l1o,-
! 900 pounds have to be lifted foot
This is work performed merely by the
muscles of the legs; but, besides this,
the contractions of the muscle of the
heart have to be taken into account. Its
function consists, as is we'll known, in
propelling the blood collecting in the
heart, on the one hand, into the arteries,
and, on the other, into the lungs. This
is effected at au initial velocity of IL feet
per second, which represents in the case
of an adult work Of 4 foot-pounds for
each contraction of the heart. The pull
sations of an adult are on the average ~
per minute, but in ascending heights,
owing to the additional cxcrtion, their
number is increased to an extraordinary
extent.
Assuming, for the sake of simplicity in
calculation, only 100 beats of the pulse
per minute. this would give 400 foot
pounds per minute, $4,000 foot pounds
per hour and 12O, 900 foot-pounds for
the five hours supposed to be required in
ascending a height of 1000 feet The
work performed by the muscles in
breathing, by the expansion and contrac-
ton of the chest, may also be estimated
at four foot-pounds. Assuming, further,
that the number of breathings per min
ute is on the average only twenty-five,
although, as a matter of fact, it will be
i found to be higher in mountain ascent
lasting five hours, We have to add fur
ther work of 80, 900 foot-pounds.
The total work performed during five
hours by mountaincer consequently
amounts to. 1,326,O0O foot-pounds. In
this estimate are not included the physi-
cal force spent in overcoming the fric-
ton on the ground, the exertions to be
made in keeping the body erect at dizzy
heights and in dragging heavy boots and
foot-irons, nor the loss of muscle power
in cutting steps in the ice, not to reckon
the work performed in carrying an ice
axe, or the physical force exertcd in
crossing fresh, loose snow. Taking all
these conditions into account, DR.. Buch-
heister arrives at the conclusion that the
work done in an ascent of 1000 feet,
lasting five hours, cannot be placed at
less than 1880, 900 foot pounds. s.-I10n.
