POOR ANNA Is MAD.
Miss Dickinson's Insanity Is No
Longer a Matter OF Doubt.

Longer Matter OF Doubt.
Miss Anna Dickinson appeared on
the stage of the Broadway theater.
New York and delivered a long, varied
and disconnected discourse, with all
her old time vigor. The lecturess
said she was not to engage her hear
ers in anything but formal talk.
This however, she did not do, but
branched of on an incoherent TRADE
about the republican party. Her per-
sonal Characterization at the time
were repugnant to decency and some
of the ladies who occupied seats in the
orchestra slipped outwith their escorts,
She roundly denounced the leaders Of
the republican party, among them
Senator Quay, j. 5. Clarkson and w.
w. Dudley. She declared 1t was due
to these three that she was imprisoned
in an insane asylum. She frequently
punctuated her remarks with the ques-
ton, Folks, do you think ! am in
saneP" The question was mentally
answered in the affirmative by her
hearers.
Mr.. McGeachy Miss Piokipson's
manager, said that arrangements had
been made for Miss Dickinson TO re-
main in New York and give lecture
every Sunday evening. The lectures
will be confined to political topics,
Mr. McGeachy added that he intended
to take Miss Dickinson to Europe In
June and return in time to open in
New York next season and give dra-
matte readings. Possibly upon her re-
turn she may re-appear as II dramatic
star.

An atrocious crime came to light
at Denver. A few months ago Mrs.

MED by Mrs. G.. $. Warrel wife OF Il
prominent Denver real estate dealer
On their return a short time ago, Mrs.
Barnaby found u package postmarked
Boston, which had arrived during her
absence. IL contained small flask OF
whisky with the inscription; Accept
this fine old whisky from your friends
in the woods" A few days later, re-
turning from a drive, both ladies be-
ing thoroughly chilled through, they
drank some of the liquid. They were
taken i'll Immediately afterward, and
Mrs. Barnaby has died and Mrs. War

Hon. Frank Hatton and Hon. j. S.
Clarkson, when occupants Of the
position OF first assistant postmaster
general, were both dilligent and
earnest in their efforts to place en-
ployes OF the railway service upon II
soldier footing 60 far rs the getting
OF pensions was concerned for the
widows and orphans. Mr.. Clark son
once said "Thesa men face death in
horrible form, knowing that it may
come TO them daily or at any moment.
Death to them Is more imminent than
to soldiers in time of wars. The men
who march in ranks 90 into battle
but few times each year, but these
men are constantly exposed. The
soldier knows that for disease or in
jury the government will ia some
degree compensate him. The mail
clerk has no such hope. The soldier
knows that his widow and orpf ans
will receive government aid. The
railway postal clerk faces death on
tho rail with no nope for his loved
ones" These words age recalled by
the following "sympathy' issued in
the postal bulletin.

these we have developed no separate
