SESC taken to the insane de-
partment of the Schuyl-

Thomas Welsh, % years of age and un-
married. He was at one time employed as
brakeman on the local division of the Phil
adelphia & Reading Railroad.
Welsh has exhibited signs of insanity for
some time, but only recently became violent,
Yesterday he heard he was to be sent to au
institution and he disappeared. After a long
search he was found in the bushes on the
mountain.
While at Squire Monaghan's office last
night he became very Violent and threatened
everybody who approached him with bodily
harm. At one time Constable Toomey and
ex Poor Director Tracey found it necessary
to force the unfortunate man to the pavemenI
to get him under control.
This morning Toomey and special officer
Anthony Alexis took Welsh to the Lehigl
depot, handcuffed. While they were standing
on the platform Welsh went into a fit Of rag,
and a desperate struggle with the officer
ensued. The latter succeeded in getting tn,
man into the waiting room and kept hin

years, but had been at the almshouse for
number of years. He was a notable fgur,
there by reason of the dignity he assume,
under the delusion that he was the King O
Spain.
Those acquainted with Rooney's histcr.
say he had an excellent war record. II
served throughout the rebellion and RENAME,
in the army five years after it ceased. Dun
ing a cavalry engagement he received a sabr
wound ON he side of his head and it is sal
that wound led to his unfortunate end,
1t is said that before Rooney was di.
charged from the army he exhibited SYM
toms of insanity and at one time walked a
the way from Washington, d.. c., to Ashland
His object in walking to the latter place h
said at the time was to visit the war depart
ment and secure his discharge.
Rooney has a brother in Columbia county
but he is said to be too poor to uudertak
the expense of the funeral and the vetera
will probably be buried in the almshous
cemetery. A telegram was sent to tn
brother yesterday, but brought no answer.
About two years ago some of Rooney
friends took steps to secure a pension fror
the government for him, but the proceeding
were never pushed.

Letter From Mexico.

Mr.. R. c. Knight, of this place, who is al
present at Chihuahua, Mexico, writes to the
HERALD stating that the Geographic reports
from chihuahua under date of March 9TH,
last, are exaggerations. Mr.. Knight says no
wonderful strike in gold and silver has been
made at Boss Shepherds mines in the
District of Batopilas. The Mexican govern.
ment, the letter says, gave Shepherd a very
large and valuable tract f land in the heart
of the silver district of Batopilas and
Shepherd has on that tract one hundred
mines, but only works three, and they are
silver producing. Not one mine owned by
Shepherd, says Mr., Knight, has a gold vein.
The object of Mr., Knight is to give credit
where due. He says the three gold and
silver mines OF Batopilas are bonanzas. In
the last three months they sent to chihuahua
bout $275,OOO each.

Another important change took place in
the HERALD's popular teachers contest yes
terday afternoon. Miss Baird r]egained first
place which Miss Stein took from her on
Wednesday. Miss Wasley has not been
polling many votes the past few days, but she
still holds third place with a great margin.
Miss Fairchild holds fourth and will soon
have 10000 votes to her credit. The grand
total of votes is almost 10000, although the
eleventh week of the contest win not close
until the count is made tonight. In ali
probability the figures will be reached by
that count.

1t is an open secret that the silver men
have two strings to their bow. In the
first place they hope to patch some sort
of compromise by which the coinage
of silver will be oantinued after the
Sherman law is rob. led. That is to say
they expect to attacn some conditions to
the repeal bill. Failing that, they hope
to switch the repeal measure on to side
track and substitute the measure for the
repeal of the election laws in its stead
in short they hope to dispose of this
measure in the same way that the So
called "force bill" was disposed of in the
fifty-first Congress- The House will vote
on that measure on the tenth of this
month, and will, of course, pass it. 1t
will then go to the Senate where it will
be available for trading purposes. As all
the Southern Democratic Senators are
intensely anxious that this measure
shall become law, and as the most Of
them are not anxious to see silver sent
to the rear, the silver Senators will have
a pretty fair chance of making their
scheme work.

case was simply a controversy between
two persons to determine how much one
should pay the other for failure to keep
an alleged contract of marriage 1t is
absurd to say that these two cases are
in any respect similar One affected the
purity OF elections in which every person
is concerned the other was mere dis
pute between two persons in which public
rights were not affected in the least. No
newspaper ever published the details of
a divorce suit or a breach of promise
case with the idea that in SO doing it
was vindicating a public right. 1t pub
fishes them simply because as the most
of the public likes to read them it creates
a demand for the paper. Nine-tenths
of the cases in court are dismissed with
very brief reference. Now if newspaper
publicity of court proceedings is SO nee
essary to prevent our courts becoming
star chambers are not the newspapers
guilty of placing the liberties of the
country in jeopardy in failing to publish
the details of the great majority of court
trials? How does it happen that the
failure of newspaper to publish all the
details of dispute in court over divis-
ion line fence or debt never endangers
the liberties of the country, while
judges order that the details of breach
of promise suit shall not be spread out
from day to day calls for renewed and
violent rocking of the cradle of liberty?
Isn't this talk about Judge Barker's
order threatening the liberties OF the
country and the freedom of the press all
bosb, and don't the newspapers that
indulge in it know it to be such?

UNION MUTUAL LIFE

The imperative need of the protection
afforded by Life Insurance is made man
ifest every day. OF late, the grim spec
tire Death has stalked abroad in its most
hideous forms: accidents of the most ter
rible character-some resulting from nat
ural forces, others from the carelessness
of man-have been recorded day by day.
Immunity has been accorded to none;
neither age, youth nor status has claimed
exemption-the old and the young, the
rich and the poor, have alike fallen be-
fore the scythe of Deaths avenging
angel. 1t is this uncertainty of life-the
converse of deaths certainty-that caus-
es those who reflect to avail themselves
of the benefcence of Life Insurance.
When death in its terrible swiftness en-
tiers household, the pangs of the suffer
ing bereayed are sufficiently acute with
out being added to by any prospective
view of perjury and want.
Life Insurance is duty; one of the
most sacred attaching to any bread-win-
ner, and a terrible responsibility rests
upon the shoulders of those who are in
any way neglectful in this connection.
INSURANCE PROTECTION CONSE-
QUENT UPON DEATH BY DISEASE
OR ACCIDENT Is ALONE SECURED
BY POLICIES OF LIFE INSURANCE.

tual-issues policies than which none are
more liberal; they are also of the most
varied character, with premiums as low

sistent with the absolute, security they
afford.

Protracted strikes in which a con-
siderable number of men are involved al
most invariably eliminate in disturb
ance of the peace such as occurred at
Auburn on Saturday night. When they
begin the leaders counsel moderation and
abstention from violence, and for time
the strikers abide by their advice
The legitimate weapons of argument and
entreaty are first employed to turn back
the workingmen who have come to take
the strikers places. AS long as these are
sufficient there is no violence. But when
they begin to fail, and the places of the
strikers are being gradually filed, some
of the strikers are almost certain to lose
their respect for law and for the rights
of others, and supplement the legitimate
weapons of argument and entreaty with
the unlawful ones of threats and actual
personal violence. Many of the men who
do these things are not naturally bad
men, but they are wrought up to almost
a pitch of frenzy by the excitement of
the strike and the despair which seizes
many of them when they see the oppor-
tunites for gaining a livelihood Slipping
away from them. by reason of the will
ingness of other men to take the places
which though they have left them, they
consider as still belonging to themselves
OF course there is nothing for the authori-
ties to do when the strike has reached
this acute stage but to arrest and stern
ly punish the men who resort to these
means, and yet many of them are deserv-
ing of sympathy. Frequently they. have
been led into the predicament that turns
themtinto criminals and violators of law
by the evil advice of men who knew bet
ter and were actuated by pure selfishness
and who hold out glowing promises only
to desert when the pinch comes and to
wash their hands of all responsibility for
the lawless acts.
