DR.. +. @. Mead. Superintendent 81

DR.. L. @. Mead, superintendent OF
the state insane asy.um-a at Yankton
was in the city IN Tuesday and in
the course ola conversation remark
ed to THE COURIER man that Union
county had is patients at the hos.
pital. He further remarked that
he considered an amendment made
last winter to the law for the treat.
ment and control Of insane, as an
unwise one. The amendment re-
quires that a list of the patients
coming from any county should be
mailed to the county auditor and
that the name, and cost each patient
had entailed during his stay should
be published in the official proceed
ings following the recent of the re.
port. The evil of the law exists in
the fact that frequently the friends
OF the patient are sensitive and dis
like very much any mention of the
ssct that their friend or relative had
been an inmate of the insane asy-
lum. Frequently the case occurs
that the patient, after being cured,
arrives home only to pick up his
local paper and there read that
John Jones had been an inmate Of
the insane hospital up tc the end of
the quarter ending July /, and had
cost Union county the sum Of s1O6."
To q sensitive person the circum-
stance is exceedingly Annoying.

1t was thought advisable for her
to go to her parents home near Du-
buqua, La. While absent she receiv-
ed word from her husband that he
was going TO the Black Hills. For
fouryears,th h evidence in the divorce
case discloses that Mrs. Neuman
was so ill that she could not leave
her home. In 1879, without her
knowledge or consent the farm, their
homestead, was sold by Mr.. Neu-

4 HISTORICAL CHARACTER.
A Eoted Acquaintance OF Father I'll mes
in Massachusetts.

In the city Of Newburyport, Mass,
on July 4th there was dedicated to
the memory of William Lloyd Gar
fison, a statue ofheroic size. A feat
ure of the procession vas the march
ing in a body oftwelve hundred col
ored people, both men and women.
The venerable Joshua Y. Hines
Of this city became acquainted with
Mr.. Garrison in 1881, and from that
time until the freeing OF the slaves
took an active part in the anti-slav-
cry movement. When Mr.. Garrison,
first began to speak against slavery,
there were very few who dare take
the same ground he did or advocate
the same doctrines. Father Hines,
was one who had the courage to take
that stand. He also opened his
church to the discussion of the ques-
ton. Theodore Parker, WAS a stud
ent in Boston then, and Mr.. Hines
and Mr.. Parker, have walked ten
miles, testament in hand, many a
time to talk upon the question of sla-
very before the people. Isaac Knapp,
was the printer Of liberator, and a
true patriot and deserving u place in
history. Upon The second visi. Of
Mr.. Thompson the great English
orator and agitator the feelings of the
pro-slavery people was at fever heat.
The southern people had given out
that Thompson would not be allowed
to speak in Boston. In other words
they would not allow foreigners to
shape their affairs. Matters looked
so bad, that, as the time OF the meet
ing drew near, it was decided TO send
Mr.. Thompson away, and he was
taken by boat to ST. Johns, N. B.
Mr.. Garrison appeard at the meet
ing however, and was about to escape
by a e a window, when he was re-
cognized and a rope thrown over his
neck and he was led into the street.
Later be was rescued by the police
and placed in Jail. Mr.. Hines, open
ed the hall and built the fires on that
memorable occasion.
In 1868 after the peace conference
on the James River, Mr.. Hines, had
an audience with President Lincoln
in the White House, and urged the
President to arm the negroes, as the
south were using their labor in the
construction of Notifications. Mr..
Lincoln considered with Mr.. Hines
on the subject. Mr.. Hines says he
will never forget the care worn look
on the Presidents face. Mr.. Garri-
son and Mr.. Hines were born in the
same year. 1905. Truly has Father
Hines had an eventful career, and
lived in perilous times. and his name
will have a place in history.
