We cannot account for 1t. 1t is very large

pointed many readers. On Monday we put up
and mailed another package. as we do not
wish our subscribers to lose a single copy. We
have received complaint from Stribling

him but little encouragement, Sd he con.
Guided to take the responsibility OF build
ing the Telephone line himself, but before
he could begin operations, which hs want
ed to do Immediately, it was necessary for
him to have soma money. He presented Q

he would deem it q great favor, and that he
would proceed Immediately to put up the

It but he endorsed it and W. FL. Ballard
csshed it. After Investigation, it was as

money in the bank upon whi5h the check
was drawn. The DR.. paid the money like.

ADMISSION OF PAY.PATIENTS AND OF STATE
PATIENTS.

There is false impression. believed to be
quite prevalent, thatin deciding upon appli-
cations for admission into the asy lum prefer
ence Is given to those VINO can pay Tor their
ed to remove 1t than to state the principle that
really does govern admissions. together with
another fact which Is proved by the records OF
the institution.
The proper classification of its inmates is q
most important. and indeed an absolutely es
insane asylum. 1t is dictate both of humane
ty and of common sense that the delicate.
nervous, shrinking patient should not be
forced into daily and hourly contact with the
noisy dangerous maniac. 1t would be both
unwise and cruel; unwise, because for one who
is conscious, as most of those admitted are,
that he is coming to an insane asylum, 1t
would comp ieteiy neutralizs all efforts to
soothe and comfort him to surround him at
once with its most unfortunate and repulsive
features. and cruel, because nothing could
tend more to depress and discourage him, and
thus to fasten his insanity upon him for life.
Therefore the first point inquired into, in ex-
amining an application, is the character oil
the insanity OF the applicant. Tae question
to be determined Is, not whether there Ia a
vacancy anywhere In the walls OF the asylum
bull whether there Is one In any auotfd in ao'tic
it Mould be either a9iSe or humane to place the
newcomer. Can he be put where he viii be
benefited and probably cured, or will he have
to be put where in all probability his suffer"
ings will oe aggravated, and his disease made
permanent and 1ncurable?
For those who have any knowledge Of the
proper management of the insane, it ia need
less to gay that this should be, rs 1t is, the
main principle upon which applications for
admission are decid I'D. Upon any other, the
few vacancies that occur In our over crowded
asylum would be soon filled with those who
instead Of being benefited and restored, would
be inevitably consigned by its bad manage,
ment to the fate of chronic Insanity. 1t would
take but a few years to obliterate wholly Its
curative feature, and to write despair instead
of hope over Its portals.

adnissi is question OF financial standing.
