poison, and poison that takes 10Oyears
to XII US Is scarcely a thing to'be
afraid Of"
This connection between the nervous
and the mental is so close that the opin-
ions Of DR.. Samuel B. Lyon. medical
superintendent of the world famous
Bloomingdale Asylum for the Insane,
are of great interest. His study has
been so thorough, and his experience
among those of defective will power,
nerve force and general mentality so
great that he is qualified to speak as
high authority.
Drink ana insanity.
Here called DR.. Lyons attention to
the statements made in these articles
by Drs. Forbes Winslow and Younger,
of London. They agreed that in Eng
land by far the larger part OF insane
cases are the direct result of drink.
"a like statement cannot truthfully
be made of America" he said. II can
readily believe, however. that 1t Is true
Of England. In England, and in fact in
all European countries. the custom OF
hard drinking Is much more prevalent
thapit is In American. Next to hered-
ltary causes here come those which lead
to paresls. There is a general mISun-
derStan ling of this affection. More
than half the cases of paresis are OF
vicious origin. There always exists
possibility that a paretic has been
brought to his pitiable condition by
oyerwork or some such mistake, but it
is small possibility"
what course other than vice might
lead man into paresis?" | asked.
"A man who allowed his business to
worry him, or who exerted himself so
violently that for q long period the rest
of the night did not balance the excite
ment of the day might get his brain
into such condition that paresis would
result" he answered. But / repeat
that such cases are rare"
'Do you think that the apparent in
crease of paretic cases means that we
are growing worse morally?"
IL believe that the increase is smaller
than is generally believed. The public
has heard more of late than it used to
about paresiS as classified form of in
sanity, but that does not mean that
there is more paresis. My impression
is that we are not worse morally"

A PITiFUL TALE
Of the Troubles of Mother and
Her Children.

Her Children.
Yesterday Mrs. T. j. Belknap, Chris
tan worker, who lives at IA Twenty
fourth avenue north, told to the police a
distressing story of inhuman treatment
OF husband toward his wife. The lat
ter lives on Second street north, near
Second avenue. Last Saturday morning
at O'Clock. Mrs. Belknap says, she and
her husband were awakened by the pitt
ful crying of three small children in the
woods near their house. The cries were
so appalling that she dressed to investi-
gate. She and her husband had no more
than reached the stairs of the back door
when they again heard distressing cries.
The kindly disposed couple hurried
TO the place and discovered a sad-faced
woman aud three children huddled
together In large comforter near the
base of large oak tree. They took
them into their house and comfortable
bed was prepared. After partaking of
breakfast the grief-Stricken wife left
the house and started 10 return to her
home.
The story she told, however, will long
be remembered by that sympathetic
couple at whose home she was cared for.
1t was case where a drunken hus-
band, infatuated with degraded won-
an, ruled supreme. She stated that he
had been OH drunk for three weeks,
and that two-thirds ct that time she was
forced to take her children and sleep in
the barn to get out of his way. Friday
night she took the children and left
him. The Christian workers of the
city will make an effort to dissuade the
woman from living with him any
longer.

CONVENTION AFTERMATH.
Gossip Of the Candidates Aid.
LOye'S Canvass

Now that the Democratic conventions
have been held and the nominations for
the various offices made, the rank and
file OF the party put i'll their time dis.
cuSsiug the merits of the candidates.
A meeting of the delegates from the
Third ward who left the convention on
Saturday are still talking, and talking
very loudly. A dozen OF them met
Yesterday afternoon and discussed tne
situation. They agreed To man to
oppose j. L, Kiichli for the senate, and
10 oown several other candidates for
county officers whom they accused of
putting up the scheme in the conyen-
ton which caused them to withdraw.
1t IS agreed on all. hands that the
ticket nominated on Saturday is a
strong one, out the half-bearted man
her i'll which several of the nominees
accepted the h0n0rs thrust upon them
is not viewed with any degree of salts
faction. 1t is the sentiment of the Dem
ocrats of the city that a nominee ought
at least throw a hopeful feeling into
the situation, and not endeaVor to
deprecate the condition OF affairs as
certain of them did in making their
speeches of acceptance. Apropos of
the county convention, it is but fair to

Sured that the office was going begging,

to the convention that he had '.bot-
TOM"
The aldermanic contest in the Fourth
ward promises to be an interesting one,
and yet there can be but one outcome,
so far as the Republicans are concerned.
i. e. the nomination of G. B. Shove,
Aid. Loye. the present incumbent, is
making vigorous fight for renomina-
ton. He is making house to house
canvass; in fact he is posing as the chief
aldermanic comedian of the city. His
relative, Bob Mcmillan. ex- street COM
missioner of the Fourth ward, who
hopes TO be returned next year. is aid
ing i'll this canvass. Together the two
are making things hum. it is almost
certainty, however, that Aid. Loye will
not be able to carry his own precinct Oh
the night OF the primaries.
1t is proposed to dig up his record as
all alderman, and it is stated that it can
be proved that he has violated certain
sections of the city charter. 1t is said
that he, contrary to the charter, fur
nfshes several hundred dollars worth of
leather and harnesses to the fire depart
ment every month, and that altogether
he has managed to secure several thou
sand dollars worth of contracts from
that department The charter distinctly
says that city official shall not supply,
by contract or otherwise, any material
10 the city. The fire department. rec
ords, if they have been properly kept,
Will no doubt show that Aid. Loye has
not been the exemplary alderman that
his constituents have believed him.

STRIKE INVESTIGATION.

The plain truth is that, whatever the
merits of the strikers case may have
been so far as the Pullman affair was
concerned, the strike was announced
boldly and boastfully as an uprising for
the sole purpose of demonstrating the
supremacy of the American Railway
union as "king." This is a republic and
not q kingdom, as Mr.. Howard now
knows. But there have been vast de-
struction of property and some loss of
