girl who made a bad start in life early this
week. Her uncle, John Quinn. lives in South
Washington and his wife is blind. Tuesday
Lula went to her uncle's house during his
absence and took $50 from his coat pocket.
Then she went ont for a good time and paid for
beer, whisky. oysters and room rent in addi-
ton to purchasing couple of gold rings The
morning after she stole the money she divided
it between her male and female friends. The
girl told Judge Miller that Grant Martin. a
young colered man, asked her to get him some
money and that was why she went to her
uncles. She told of purchasing cigarettes for
Martin, and when she left him she said she
went to church. Policemen Dean and Fergu-
son arrested the girl for grand larceny and they
also charged Martin with receiving a portion of
the stolen money. The officers recovered
nearly S10o of the stolen money The case
against the grl was continued until Monday.
but there was no proof against Martin and he
was discharged.

POSTAL R1oHrs OF TIE INSANE
Mrs Packard Rehearses a Remerka-

Mrs Packard Rehearses a Remerka-
Bile Story to the Committee.
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 12.-The insane asy-
lum committee of the House had before
them this afternoon the bill to protect in
their postal rights the inmates Of the insane
asylum. The bill gives the insane person
the right TO select one person on the outside
to whom he or she may write at least once
week. These letters are not to be opened
or read by the authorities of the asylum.
The real author of the bill Is Mrs. E. P. W.
Packard OF Chicago, Ills. She came here
about two weeks ago aud has worked early
and late in behalf Of her BILL distributing
pamphlet which she calls my Argument"
explaining the measure She was present
in person this afternoon. She is an old
woman Of 60 or 65 years She related at
some length her own experience, which was
stranger than fiction.
MRS. PACKARD's EXPERIENCE.
10 is in brief that about twenty-five years
ago her husband, on account of decided re-
ligious views, which he had and from which
she differed, had her imprisoned in an
asylum. She was kept there for more than
three years, unable 10 prove that she was
sane because no letters from her would be
finally rescued from this fate, land
then, gentlemen" said the old
lady, her voice trembling with emotion,
II took solemn vow that l would devote
the remainder of my life to helping these
unfortunate people. 1t is only now and
then that a sane person imprisoned there
can be helped in this way; but even to the
poor insane it will be blessing beyond meas
ure. have given my life to this for twenty
five years now, and have secured the pas
sage Of this bill through thirty-two legisla-
lures. hope you will pass this bill.
MRS. BELLAMY's STATEMENT.
Mrs. DR.. Bethany, wife of the former
librarian at the Georgia asylum, was pres
ent, and made a statement showing how
letters from and to the inmates are inter
cepted. She reflected severely, In her talk,
upon the management of the asylum. The
terms drunkards and morphine-eaters, as
applied to the authorities of that institu-
ton, we're used more than once.
The two ladies then retired. and the c1m-
mites went into discussion of the bill
The objection was, of course, that if the
lunatics were allowed to write what they
pleased to outside parties they might work
up prejudice and false impressions, for
which there was no foundation in fact
mo man" said one member of the commit
tee, could hold or would care to hold the
position OF superintendent"
After considerable discussion a vote was
taken and the bill was favorably recon.
mended by II yeas to 4 nays.
