An Iuhuman Measure.

Mr.. W. P. LETCHwORTH OF the State
Board Of Charities protests vigorously
against bill now before the Legislature
which proposes to turn the old asylum for
the criminal insane at Auburn into State
hospital for the non-criminal insane.
or course, Justice and humanity require
that the criminal insane and the non-crim-
inal insane should DO cared for in separate
establishments. More than thirty years
ago the asylum at Auburn was created. in
connection with the State prison there. for
the reception OF convicts who had gone
crazy and OF criminals who had escaped in
dictment or conviction because they were
demented. At various times during the past
twenty years the Auburn asylum has been
condemned as unfit for its purpose, both on
account OF its archaic arrangements and OF
its proximity to large prison. The State
has provided for q new institution OF the
sort at Matteawan, In Duchess county.
Now 1t Is proposed that the buildings In the
prison yard at Aubdfn. as soon as they are
abandoned as an asylum for the criminal
insane. shall be turned into a general
lunatic asylum! Hear Mr.. LETCHwoRTH's
forclble remarks upon this proposition:
Closely connected WITH and forming apparently
part OF the Stale prison. structuray desgned at the
outset = prison for the confinement OF tho most
dangerous class OF insane criminals and occupied for
many years by convicts. closely surrounded by
high stone wall. with restricted grounds

neighborhood Of manufacturing establishments
and railways with their unceasng and disturbing
noises. these buildings with their forbddinE assoca.

Ing our strongest sympathy and first consideration.
The forced commltal to this place OF person occupy
ing respectable position in society. particularly
having acute,y sensitive and diseased brain filed
with shadows and decisions. cannot but have an In.
furious effect"
The protest ought to be effective. The
bill which would consign innocent and
respectable unfortunates to this gloomy
annex to the Auburn State prison Is the
product either OF inhuman indifference or
extraordinary thOughtlessncss.

SPAULDING'S ART TASTE.

On the representations of Josiah w.
Leeds of Philadelphia the huge painting
by Rochegrosse, The Fall of Babylon,n
described in MY n Tote Book" last month,
is to he sent back on its arrival if the
Collector of the Port thinks best to do
So" The New York World says that Mr..
Leeds saw it at the Paris Salon, and the
description he sent to the Treasury De-
partment was enough to satisfy the Act
ing Treasurer, Mr.. Spaulding, that "the
artistic tastes of this country would not
be elevated by the introduction and ex-
hibition of such a picture" That the
picture, by reason of the many nude
figures in the composition, would give
ot1ense to Philadelphia, there can be no
doubt. But to say that it is, therefore,
immoral is quite another thing. To allege
that it is obscene would be preposter-
Gus, and yet it can not be excluded
legally on any other grounds. By what
right, then, can Mr.. Hendricks be in
vested with the art censorship thus con-
terred upon him by the Treasury De-
partment? Mr.. Spaulding-if he is cor
rectly reported by the Wortd-does not
think ''that the artistic tastes of this
country would be elevated by the intro
duction and exhibition of such picture"

RaStaurantS in Berlin

The fine hotels and first-class restaurants
of Berlin, of course, charge good prices.
although not SO high as in Boston and
Pittsburg, writes Edmund Hudson in the
Boston Herald. But l have no difficulty
in getting a very good dinner five courses)
for 371 cents, with an excellent bottle of
wine for as much more. This dinner is
served to me in an elegant restaurant.
whose street front is one great sheet of
plate-glass, and whose interior decora-
tons are elegant. The waiter is as good
as any at Parker's or Newells. fl choose
to 60 to the old part of Berlin, can have
an excellent midday meal for half mark
Q24 cents, and a glass of beer costs there
only . cents. AT some of the larger res
taurants and coffee-houses beer costs n
cents, but the glass is large one. The
price of beer to the average Berliner is IL
cents or cents at the cheaper places.
The ordinary first breakfast of the Ber-
liner costs at a cotfee-house on Inter den
Linden, near the Friedrichstrasse. I2l
cents. 1t consists of two eggs, glass of
coffee and bread or sweet cakes. AT this
place no fee is paid to the waiter, all paw
nents being made by the patrons to the
cashier at the desk. A stranger can fare
well in Berlin for 80 cents a day if he
chooses to do SO, and l do not see WHY
one could not live here comfortably the
year round for 81 a day.

BRIEF NOTES.

Sheriff Stanley collected S206 OF as fees
during December, and $2,4I9 80 during
the year.
During the past year there were 422
marriage licenses issued in this county,
and ninety eight divorces granted.
The river receded about foot during
Saturday and yesterday, and registered
fourteen feet last evening. The water
was very muddy.
Jennie Ackley, resident of the crib
quarter, was arrested on Saturday night
on complaint of a stranger. He declared
that she had robbed him of $50.
The rumor of the death of C. C. Brown
was without foundation. He is, however,
still verv sick man, but improving.
The rumor probably arose from the fact
that on Saturday he was removed to
Twentieth and 0 streets, instead of to an
undertaker'S.
During the past year the total amount
of fines imposed in the Police Court was
1894. Amount of fines, forfeitures, etc.,

ing the past five years respectively are as
follows: 1887, s., O53 70; 1888, 81. Ol6 80:

FORECASTING RESULTS.
Weather Prospects for the Present
Month of January.
The Wettest Month in the Year, De-
cember Excepted-We May Ex-
pect Six Inches of Rain.

Next to December, January is the wet
test month III the year on the Pacific
Slope, and the general rule covering the
December distribution of precipitation is
followed very closely by the January
falls, except that on the middle California
coast the rains become slightly heavier in
localities, writes Chief Kerkam of the
Pacific Coast Division of the Weather
Bureau.
The heaviest precipitation occurs in a
belt some, twenty by twenty-five miles
wide along the Washington coast, and in
Oregon, north and south of Coos County,
extending southwark into California over
the upper Coast Range, except that the
belt of heaviest rains is here DETECTED to
the eastward, leaving Humboldt County
with but four inches Of rain, while from
ten to fifteen inches falls further in the
Interior, the belt ending by being pro-
jected to the coast in Mendocino County.
There is also an area over the upper
Cascade Mountains in Oregon that has
excessive precipitation, and section en-
braced by Butte to El Dorado Counties,
just east Of the Sierras in California, where
from eight to over eleven inches of pre-
cipitation usually falls. Marin and Santa
Clara Counties usually have about six
inches, and on the lower coast Ventura
County, and section south of the San
Bernardino Mountains, usually has about
four inches, with from four to seven
inches in the interior of San Diego
County.
The chart of the January rains on the
Pacific Slope shows general average of
SIX inches of precipitation north of the
3lst parallel in California, excepting only
from two to four inches in extreme north
east California, and like amount in the
Sacramento Valley. Between the Both
and 3Sth parallel from one to four inches
usually falls, the lesser amounts in the
eastern portions and south of the Both
parallel, along the coast, from two to four
inches, decreasing to but few tenths of
an inch in the eastern half OF this section.
The rains of the month average AIS
inches for the past twenty years, though
the average since lS49 is slightly in excess
of five inches. The heaviest January
rains on record are "A inches in 1862, u
inches in 1873, IL inches in 1866, and from
s to 10 inches i'll 1850, 1856, 1868, 1881 and
1890. Less than an inch of rain fell in
January 1851. 1852 and 1891.
The daily distribution of the rainfall is
generally pretty even throughout the
month, though comparatively dry period
is noticeable from the 7th to 9Th, and the
18th and 2Sth are usually dry. Only
about one-third of the usual monthly rain
falls between the lst and 18th, the wet
period generally extending from the 10th
to the 18th, and on the 18th and 30th
The heaviest twenty-four-hour rainfall
on record in the past twenty years in
January was 4.67 inches, on the 18th, in
1881, and nearly seven inches fell on the
three days covered by the 18th, 10Th and
3Gtb

Yesterday the teams representing the
several military companies in this city
had their first contest for the company

of the team winning it three times. The
teams will consist of five men, each MEM

MES are allowed to enter more than one
team. and companies A, E and G took
advantage of the privilege. The teams
are to shoot on the first Sunday in each
quarter, at 10 A. NJ, unless the weather
prevents, in which case it will take place
on the Sunday following.
Company Cps marksmen placed it in
the lead yesterday by a score of 100 against
103 for one of Company ELS teams. The
former score is an unusually good one,
and is several points higher than that
of Company II, of the regulars, which
won the trophy at San Rafael last sum-
mer. Yesterdays scores were as follows:
