INSANITY INCREASING IN KENT.
State of Maryland Has Not Sufficient
Accommodations for the Insane ant

state of Maryland Has Not sunicient
Accommodations for the Insane and
Feeble Minded.
CHEsTERTowN, May 27-Dr William
Lee, secretary and executive officer of
the lunacy commission Of Maryland, yes.
terdaY made a thorough investigation
into the condition of the insane and
feeble minded paupers of the Kent
county almshouse.
He reported having found the insane
poor Of both Caroline and Queen Anne's
counties comfortably provided for and
the county authorities alive to the de
mands of the situation. Excellent at.
tention and all the necessary comforts Of
life have been provided for their feeble
minded
There are in the Caroline county aims
house, he said, eighteen inmates, of
which number Ave are white and four
colored insane and feeble-minded persons
Queen Anne's has in her almshouse
thirty five inmates, including four insane
white women. four insane white men,
FIVE insane c0lored women and two insane
coloTed men
In the Kent county almshouse are
twenty-three inmates, including two
insane white men, two insane white
women, three insane col0red men and
one insane colored woman.
Dr. Lee further said "ln so far as Kent
county is concerned there is a marked
neglect on the part of the county com
missioners in not giving ths necessary
aid to the efforts of the superintendent
Of the almshouse in providing dwelling
accommodations. which are absolutely
necessary, and efficient attendants, both
as to numbers and ability, TO minister to
the wants of the insane poor at the
county almshouse.
1t is to be regretted that the state has
not sufficient accommodations, and fol
this reason there are in Kent as at the
almshouses of the other counties, a much
larger number of insane than formerly.
This should be an excuse for the county
authorities not providing the necessary
structural needs and efficient attendants
for these unfortunate people. The
doctor added ~ would suggest, pend
ing the hoped for provision or Legislation
on this important subject, that the
county and all counties unprovided fol
at once make tempora ry structural ar
rangements and provide proper anC
sufficient attendants. And I would have
the public understand that the aims
house is not the proper place for thii
class Of people. l have no desire to b.
harsh upon the authorities of th'
counties, but this is matter which il
the name of humanity should b.
promptly dealt with, and Kent county
has need to bestir herself" "

GREAT CONTROVERSY OYER AWARDS.
Sister Countries Withdraw Their Worlds
Fair Displays on Account OF the Joh n
Boyd Thatcher System.


Boyd Thatcher System.
CHICAGO, May 27.-Surprising develop
ments marked the controversy over
awards at the Worlds Fair yesterday
The sixteen countries that withdrew their
displays from competition on account of
dissatisfaction with John Boyd Thatcher's
system, completely turned the tables
on that unhappy official.
The commissioners decided to enter
into competition among themselves They
will establish board Of jurors independ
ent of those in the American section and
issue diplomas in utter disregard of Mr..
Thatcher work.
This unexpected movement on the
part of foreign commissioners leaves Mr..
Thatcher in very embarrassing posi-
ton The awards granted by the com
missioners who lately withdrew, will be
the only evidence of international com
petition at the flair, for the South Ameri.
can republics are expected to join in the
movement.
Mr.. Thatcher will therefore be left
with nothing but the United States
section, and the diplomas he issues will
be of little more value than those fur
nished at an inter state fair. The di
plomas will be carried away by the
foreign commissioners who refuse tC
accept Mr.. Thatcher's one Judge plan oil
