WEALTHY BUT INSANE.
millionaire Lehman's Luxurious Apart
ments I'm Bloomingdale Asylum.

Millionaire Lehman's Luxurious Apart
ments In Blouningdale 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
aire E. j. Lehman. Mr.. Lehman was
and is still the proprietor Of the biggest
retail dry goods store in Chicago
Mr. Lehman is suffering from a form
of paresis, and although he is but 42
years old there is not the slightest hope
of his recovery. He lives like king In
his apartments, and his family pay for
the Injuries with royal liberality.
He has three apartments, which occu-
Ply all the right side Of the house on the
lower floor. For these rooms and board
alone he pays $3.50 a 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 300 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 tit
strikes him. 1t is because of this that
it is necessary to keep three attendants
watching him. He has smashed thou
sands of dollars worth of furniture since
his incarceration. He is 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 tho glass has been removed and
wooden boards have been nailed in its
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
rage, and in this way she is enabled to
catch brief glimpse Of his face.
In hie g n Lehman
talks to his attendants about his wife
and children. He says that he has the
sweetest family in the world and 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 insg-
nifcant skill. He plays upon the organ
at times half the day and completely en-
chants the other inmates of the house. e.

THE HERALD ENLARGED.

Some changes have been made with this issue OF
The HERALD, in the hope of charging and improving
the paper in every way. It's size is nine columns IN
stead OF eight and the variety Of reading made to IN
clude more news matter and selections. The
Tamage Sermons will be of interest to many and the
international Sunday school lessons should prove a
help to all scholars.
In Older to economic time and space, the top head
ngs have been discontinued, and the make up arrang
ed with the same view. Besides our newspaper work,
we have the duties OF the revenue office to attend to-
and have several important contracts for printing on
hand that will require considerable time and attention.
and our object in making the change is to get our bust
ness down to the most convenient system. That our
readers will appreciate the improvement, we are con
fdent it gives them more reading of greater variety
than any other paper. Ii also enables US to devote
more time and attention to the editorial columns q
THE HERALD and thus make a complete family news
paper, with something in particular to interest every
class of readers
The price of the paper remains the same, except
where subscriptions allowed to remain unpaid over
one year, when $3.50 will be charged. This neces
sary to get business down to cash basis and is
also matter of financial prudence and necessity Six
per cent is the legal rate of interest money which
we pay on capital invested. Newspapers that
have one Thousand two thousand dollars standing
out do not receive any interest that; but it costs
twenty five per cent and to collect the accounts
1t is plain to every that it would take unlimited
capital to bold out at that rate Therefore, vii
engage to settle up business to the pres
ent, and in the future give the largest and best paper
and the most work for the least CASH MONEY.
