Judge Cleveland took a very inter
esting case under advisement yesterday,
The principle involved is whether a
constable is justified in levying on a
writ of attachment that is regular on
its face when the proceedings behind
it are illegal. Some time ago George
Anderson brought suit against Carl
Ahler at Seaside for damages, and
Justice T. S. Jewett ordered writ of
attachment issued against the defend
ants property Constable Merrifleld
made the levy, and now he is being
sued by Ahler who contends through
his attorneys that a writ of attachment
cannot issue from suit for damages.
The decision will be rendered today

MANY LUNAnCS AT LARGE
An Expert Says That Every Tenth Mind
IS Diseased.

Every tenth mind is more or less
/ abnormal, and you can readily see that
in the crowded throughfares of a city
! like this there must be hundreds of
! people of unsound mind wandering
about" said famous alienist. Coca
sionally they are thrown into men tai
paroxysms be being jostled, or spoken
to, or interferred with, and when you
read sensa tional articles in the daily
journals headed "a Dangerous Lunatic
at Large" but the fact is as I have
stated it-there are hundreds of luna
tics at large in our streets. When
am not reading I often muse myself
hunting for them in the street car. on
the elevated trains, or on the ferry
boats. ANY expert in mental diseases
can recognize one at a glance
ANY sculptor will tell you that By
glancing at a draped figure he can feel
the form beneath it, and so do we
alienists when we gaze at a human
face. Almost unconsciouslv we feel
the degree of mentality True. there
are certain outward symptoms of de-
ranged intellect, such as the unsteady
eye, the peculiar smirk known as the
'loony leer,' and certain motions and
movements Of the lips, and hands. and
fingers, but the experienced alienist
doesn't depend upon them. As have
told you, he feels the presence OF sub
acute mania IN the same way as
sculptor does a concealed figure, but.
more than this, he is often able to note
the presence Of q lunatic by the sense
of smell.
at is physiological truth that lu-
natics exhale an odor that IS almost as
distinctive as the smell of musk. am
bergris, or sandalwood.
There IS nothing surprising about
this, for many fevers and contagious
diseases have their distinctive doors. IS
any phyician will tell You. The mind
or, if you viii, the nervous system Is
largely concerned in the task Of keep
ing the secretory organs in free and
healthy action. Some people are 50
dull and Emphatic in their tempera-
ments that they never perspire. Luz
macy is purely a nervous condition. and
hence II is almost always marked bv a
peculiar and iadescriDable odor pro-
eeeding from the imperfect action Of

The idea is held to by some people
that wars at stated intervals are neces-
sary in order to prevent a too great in
crease in the worlds population.
Whether or not there is any reason in
the belief, that method of depopuIation
would seem to be altogether unneces-
sary in view of the wholesale slaughter
of human beings that has been going on
throughout the world, by famine, pesti
lence and catastrophe, for some time
and still continues. Scarcely a day
passes but deaths by the score are re-
ported from other than natural causes,
and many of them equivalent to willful
murder. The record is simply awful,
and it seems there Is no way to abate it.
