ENGLISH PAUPERISM,
Startling Increase in Lunacy During the
Past Decade. ...

Startling Increase in LunacY During the
Past Decade. ......
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.-The department
Of state has received an interesting report
from William P. Smith, commercial agent
of the United States at Huddersfield, Eng,
on psuperism in that country. Mr.. Smith
says:
The most remarkable feature of the poor law
inspector of Lancashire county is that, while
the march OF pauperism is held pretty we'll in
check, the progress of luancy appears to be
spreading with startling rapidity. In 1880 there
were {, 500 lunatics in Lancashire county, while
in 1890 the number had increased to 5000. In
England and Wales in 1900 there We're 81 900
lunatics, while the report of 1890 shows an in
crease OF 1000. The total cost to the county
OF Lancashire for maintaining it's paupers dur
ing 1883 was nearly S1,9OO,OOO. In England
and Wales the cost during the same period was
S21 100000 During the years from 1880 the
cost OF pauperism in these two countries had in
creased $S4,OOO,OOO. Tramps, although clas-
sitied as paupers, are notincluded in the above
figures. 1t is characteristic of the English
tramp, when driven to the necessity of choosing
between the poorhouse and starvation, to COM
promise, by Stimulating and becoming an in
mate of an asylum. III 1880 there were 5,347
tramp paupers in England, while in 1890 the
number increased to 5,434.

Horse Tail Protector.

A recent patent enables horses
tail to be kept atall times ais trim and
neat as a fine lady's couture. This
patent is entitled the horses tail pro-
tector, and consists of a short bar
with two heads or buttons on the
ends, to which is attached a rubber
cord having at each end elastic sock
cts corresponding with the buttons.
The idea is to allow of the horse
tail being twisted round into knot,
which is firmly held by the protector.
This not only keeps the tail clean,
but saves an immense amount Of
combing and brushing, which is de-
structive to the hair. New York Com

NANTUCKET BEACH, Mass, Aug. 1O.-John
Boyle O'Reilly died very suddenly at his
summer home early this morning. The
cause Of his death is supposed to have been
accidental poisoning. The particulars, as
far as known by the family, are as follows:
Mr.. O'Reilly has been suffering for several
days from insomnia. During the past week
he has slept butlittle. Last night his wife
was unwell, and at u O'clock he called for
DR.. William III. Litchfeld of this town to
attend her, and DR.. Litchfield went to the
house and prescribed for her. leaving a bot
tie Of medicine. At 2 o'clock Mr.. Reilly
again called the doctor, and said that a part
Of the medicine left for Mrs. oReilly had
been spilled. The doctor then gave him a
doctors Mr.. O'Reilly said that he felt ex-
tremely tired, and if Mrs. O'Reilly went to
sleep he would take little something HIM
self to see if he could not get few hours
Sleep
At 4 o'clock Mrs. O'Reilly awoke and
found that her husband was missing She
went down stairs and found him lying on
the floor in an unconscious condition. The
doctor was Immediately called Upon ar
irving he found the respir alton was very
weak, and Mr.. O'Reilly expired shortly
after. A bottle was found containing the
medicine used by Mrs O'Reilly, from Which
she had taken but very little, but which was
nearly empty. 1t is supposed that Mr..
OReilly took a dose from it by mistake.

that he took an overdose. Mrs. O'Reillv
