WII THE RICHMOND DOCTOR.
He Didn't Fee Mr.. Tibbs, who Had to
Sell His Suspenders.

sell HIS suspeuuerss
When young DR.. Blank arrived at the
hotel, says an article in the New York
Hcraid day before yesterday, he was
"sized up by Mr.. Taylor Tibbs, who i'm
mediately remarked that "Yo' kin always
bank OH Richmon' gentleman, spcshly
u doctor man."
DIR. Blank, or doc" rs he was called,
is well known in Richmond social circles,
and altogether is one of the jeunesse doree
of that town.
The hotel in question Is a well-known
family resort on the West Side, mostly
patronizcd by Southerners. Mr.. Tibbs
who also halls from Richmond, occupies
position of general utility in the hotel
but mainly occupies himself in attending
to the individual wants of the guests.
For week Mr.. Tibbs had been assidu-
Gus in his attentions upon young Dr.
Blank, but as yet no fee had been forth
coming. This made poor Tibbs feel
rather uneasy, but, as he again remarked,
"Yo kin bank on Richmon' gentleman
every time.n Finally, DOCS" visit came
to an end and Taylor was asked To accom-
pany him to Jersey City, where the Doc
tor was to take the train for home. Incl
dentally, Taylor had to carry heavy
valise and other traps of the doctors on
the trip over.
The next day Taylor was reported sick
In bed. II finally leaked out that doc
hadn't "panned OUT as expected. AS
consequence of which Taylor's ideas re-
garding "Richmon' gentlemen" under
went decided change Here is the story
he finally told:
'Yo' kin jess make-upyo' min dat when
yo see man from Richmon' he's jess the
meanes man alive, specially de doctors.
Why, sakes alive, was mos dead when
rived to Jersey City luggin dem ar traps.

FoRT MyER is soon to have troop from
the Ninth Cavalry quartercd in that part
of the barracks to be presently vacated by
the troop from the Sixth. II is very
proper that the show and parade duty
which falls to the lot OF the Fort Mver
contingent should be given in turn to
those soldiers who have earned a species OF
holiday by perilous and arduous service
on the frontier and, by this standard, none
are more worthy of indulgence than
the brave and faithful troopers of the
Ninth. The regiment is made up of col.
ored men. 1t has distinguished itself on
many occasions, more recently by hard
and successful marches such as that
which relieved the Seventh Cavalry after
the tragic affair at Wounded Knee, but 1t
has been always and uniformly conspicu-
GUS for valor, efficiency and discipline.
The regiment is splendidly ofiicered, and
is, for all purposes of real service, re-
garded most highly aud hatteringly.
With the coming of this troop we
shall have white and colcred soldiers
brought together in one garrison, for
Troop u of the Fourth Cavalry will re-
main some time longer at Fort Myer. But
there will be no friction on that account,
and certainly there can be no complaint
that the detail Is an act of favoritism.
The Ninth has long been crack regi-
ment and has brilliant record of hard
service well and honorably performed.

NrARLy EVERY. WOMAN in society nova
days has an Unsuitable ambition to be a
perennial lady patroness. The jealouses.
heart burnings and disappointments grow
ing out of this malady meet one at every
tum. The position is supposed to have a
coupon attached calling for higher and
more conspicuous seat in the social syna-
gogue. From the lofty reserved seat
thereof the happy lady patroness can
look down upon her struggling sisters in
the arena and calmly enjoy her tempo
raIy, but severe eyclusiveness. There
seems to be in the society of every city In
America a sort of syndicate or trust of
lady patronesses. A species of "Peeresses'
Gallery" is visible on occasions of state.
Let not the ambitious ones imagine that
The position, lofty and alluring as II looks,
is free from secret griefs and chickering's.
To be one of self.constituted committee
TO sit upon social aspirants, is to feel the

The ARTICLE by DR.. WILLIAM A. HAM
NoSDon "Self Control in Curing Insanity
published i'm "The North American
Review" for March, is eminently sensible
and practical. The writer argues that the
difference between an honest and virtuous
man and degraded one is not necessarily
due to structural differences in the brain,
but that vice comes from yielding to bad
impulses. In almost every case of crime
committed by people under the influence
of so-called emotional insanity the i'm
pulse to commit the crime could
have been conquered. The failure
to do so constitutes the crime and should
be punished as relentlessly as crime OF
any other character. DR.. HAMMOND has
devoted much time and study to mental
and nervous complaints and he fortities
his position by instances which have come
under his own observation and in his own
mactice. Men have appealed to him for
sdyice when suffering from an impulse or
emotion to kill and destroy their dearest
friends or members of their own family.
In every case such impulses filled those
who labored under them with horror.
Dr. HAMMOND did not fail to warn them
that it was entirely within their power to
overcome the impulse by aproper exercise
of the will and that If they failed to do so
they would deserve the same punishment
~ is meted to the ordinary and malicious
murderer. I.unatics in asylums are
smenable to discipline. DR.. CARPENTER
is quoted as believing that two-thirds of
the women who are subjected to the re-
straint Of asylums are brought there by in
dulgence of an originally. bad temper. DR..
HASMoyD believes not only .that;sel con-
troll can be made to aid in curling insanity,
bnt that it will in many cases prevent it.
His opinion that the will power in chill
dren should be carefully cultivated and
that education should be so directed. will
surely be approved by all jndicious people.

PATRIOTIC JAPS.
Refused to Labor on Their Ma
fiOuaI HOLIDAY.

News was received from Eva Plan
tation, yesterday morning, to the
effect that about one hundred Japan
csc laborers had heard of their EN-
peror's birthday, and wished to cele-
brate the event. The Japs were
evidently aware that there was no
Police Judge within few miles, and
thought they had a cinch on the
manager of the plantation. Sixteen
policemen were dispatched to the
scene of the trouble with Capt. Robert
Parker in charge.
On the arrival of the police, every
thing was quiet. They learned that
ninety-eight Japs would not leave
their habitations to work in the fields
as they agreed to. Captain Parker
placed them under arrest and brought
the unruly men to this city. AS the
prisoners marched from the Railroad
Depot to the Police Station, they
were the cause of many guesses.
Some thought they were Piute Indians
returning from an annual scalping
tour Teach Jap having loud-colored
blanket) others thought it was the
Queens Guard fresh from sham
battle.
Deputy-Marshal Mehrten was in
waiting to receive his numerous
guests, and found the receiving sta
ton too small for the large crowd, so
had to send about forty of the prison
ers to Captain Trips hostiry.
The trial is to take place this morn
ing before Judge Hopkins.

The Yacht ReaSIe.

The Australian yacht Beagle takes
her departure tomorrow for an I'M
known port on a pleasure cruise"
During her stay in this port she has
received new bulwarks, the work
being done in first-class style by the
veteran shipbuilders, Messrs. Lyle &
Sorenson. The rigging has been
thoroughly overhauled. The saloon
has likewise received it's share OF
renovation. The painters have given
the hull new coating of white paint,
which gives her an appearance quite
the reverse of what she looked on the
day of her arrival at this port from
Australia via Hilo. Captain Gill,
who brought the yacht here, has re-
signed, Captain ]. Martin succeeding
him,
