AN INSULT TO THE DEAD
Young Doctors In an Asylum
 Danced Around a Corpse.
THEY HELD A GHoULISH ORGY.

An Investigation In the FIatbush Asylum
 Brings Out Some Horrible Details and
 Results In the Resignation of Two Young
 PhysIcians-Nurses Witnessed the Scene.
 NEW YORK, Sept l2.-The Press says to- day:
 The report of a rcvolting orgy, which is said to have occurred at the Flatbush asy- lum, has just been made public in Brook lyn. The officials who were questioned about it denied the report but they admit ted that two young physicians had resigned from the staff after an investigation had been made by Superintendent Sylvester.
 A week ago Mary Hamilton, an aged in mate of the asylum, died from complica- tion of diseases. The body was removed to the deadhouse. It is said that several at taChes, including two physicians, ranged themselves around the slab on which the body was placed and danced like Sioux Indians.
 InsuIted the Dead.
 The orgy did not stop here. One man put a pipe in the dead woman $ mouth, and his colleagues roared at what they consid- cred "a good joke" Another more fastid- ious ghoul removed the pipe and inserted a lighted cigarette between the woman's lips.
 ne DONS WIS lultIEtb next udN nothing more was thought about the affair until a few days ago, when the news of the alleged orgy leaked out The employees exchanged whispers on the subject.
 Monday morning Superintendent Sylves- ter began an investigation to learn if pos sible what civilized man would be guilty of such atrocious conduct as was alleged. Almost anything might be looked for in the Flatbush asylum, some alleged, but Dr. Sylvester thought there were limits beyond which no man would go.
 The investigation was carried on with great secrecy and at its conclusion Dr Syl- vester sent a report to President B. F. Gott of the charities commission in Brooklyn. Colonel Gott was questioned in regard tO the affair, but he declared he knew noth- ing about the details.
 Two Doctors Resign. Later, he said. Drs. Waldrun and Porter had resigned from the asylum staff after Dr. Sylvester finished his inquiry. It is not stated whether or not they knew of or had participated in the alleged orgy Colo nel Gott only knew that they had re signed
 Dr. Sylvester denied himself to all whc called to inquire about the affair. In the evening Il reporter was told that Dr. Syl vester had gone to Brooklyn aAd would not return until today.
 Secretary Bernard Lamb of the charities | commission was questioned. Its all or | account of that cigarette affair." said he While the doctors were laughing and jok ing and playing tricks upon the dead bodies | they were not aware that a hospital nursG was looking at them. Such jokes are not | appreciated at the asylum"

WE would urge all democrats who have an interest in the party's welfare to attend the meetings in the respective wards at which the primary tickets will be prepared Too often voters who take no interest in the primaries are dis satisfied with the men chosen as candi- dates for the common council or as members of the delegations to the town, city and school conventions. This fact, in itself, would work no evil, for loyal democrats will fall into line and support the men nominated by the party, if left to themselves. But there are alleged democrats in Waterbury, professional disorganizers they might be called, who take advantage of the lack of interest of those who may not be entirely satisfied with the result of the primaries, and by native cunning induce them to lend aid to movement of revolt, which is sure to prove disastrous to the party. For this reason the meetings at which pri- mary tickets are prepared should be open to every voter in the ward. The DEMOCRAT can see no reason why the makeup of any primary ticket should be withheld from the voters of the ward until the day of the election. If the ticket is strong and coherent in it's parts the more publicity It receives the better.

Quaint Modes Becoming to Beauty, but
 Trying to Plain Women.

Trying to Plain Women.
 The world belongs to pretty women, and the fullness thereof is theirs. Tc the women with the fairies gift all else shall be added, particularly in the do main of dress. It is for the pretty wom- an that modes are made and exquisite fabrics wrought. She needs the consid- eration of the designer much less than plainer women, but she receives it all the more in deplorably unjust ratio. Particularly this season does the plain woman feel bitterness in her soul at be. ing deprived, through no fault of her own, of her birthright, for, says the New York Sun, every fashion now de- mands the sweet and gentle type of beauty known to the Amelias and ChO- rillas of bygone day. before higher cd, ucation and smartness and swaggeT came in.
 The style of Coiffure prevalent only a Romola or one of Miss Mulock's low voiced women could wear with becom- ingness, for the very latest thing in hair dressing. copied from the old time mode, has smooth and glossy trcsscs combel trimly down on either side fine white parting. to be twisted in soft coil at the back This style of coifTure de mands q delicate, youthful face. a low broad forehead and an cxquisitcly mold ed head. Another style, much affected by young girls. is a modification of tn, 1920 style, with ringlrts falling down either side the face from q parting, tho hair knotted high in puff in the center The expression to be worn with thi. coiffure should be one of sweet uodesty and gentle unopiuionatcduess

What if European royalties do fight rather shy of visiting our Worlds fair: We have enough far eastern potentates to make up for #, and when it comes tc that pomp and gorgeousness which are the real attributes of royalty European kings and princesses are nowhere com pared to the orientals. The emperor of Germany himself could not hold a can dle to the Maharajah of Kapoorthella il magniicence. We have at this time an, other prince from the dazzling and spicy orient with us. He is Prince Komatsu Yorihito of the imperial family of Japan. He came by way of the Pacific coast to visit the fair and study our naval acad- emy at Annapolis. Thence he proceeds to England and France to investigate their respective naval schools After that he will go back home to assist the Japanese government in organizing and building navy of its own on the most approved modern principles, Komatsu is much better looking than most of the scions of royal blood in Europe. and that goes far ill his favor.

THE three column advertisement of Curran's dry goods store, which has greeted the 15, 900 readers of the DEMO GRAF on several occasions recently, tells the story of a pushing, progressive man who achieved success in a store where for years, figuratively speaking, the cobwebs darkened the doorway. The merchant who advertises, who never lets up for dull times or rainy days, is not squandering money even when sell ing goods "at cost" On the contrary, such a merchant is turning goods into money" and getting ready cash with which to buy more stock, and with such funds is able to buy closer than the slow going rival who doesn't advertise. Con sequently, he sells the new purchases at low prices again and keeps things nov ing. Yes, he is making mopey-if any one is-but all along is sharing it with his patrons by giving them low prices; prices that the non-advertiser cannot afford to make and is not disposed to if he could. Thus the practical philan- thropy of the advertiser becomes bene- fit to every customer, while home money-more or less according to the times-is constantly kept in circulation.
