FOR ASTORIA
The Coat Defense Steamer Monterey
Left the Mare Island Navy Yard
Yesterday Morning.
The Fourteenth Infantry Band Will
Be Here.

Yesterday was day of good tidings
to the regatta committee. Any number
of pleasant messages came to them,
and members of the various committees
were flying around and getting away
with a whole lot Of business
The first news Of Importance that
reached them was a telegram from b.
A. Seeley, of the c. r. and P. S. NJ Co.,
stating that the Fourteenth Infantry
band, of Vancouver barracks, wanted
to come down and assist in making the
regatta q success. He wanted to know
| If Uncle Sans boys could find lodging
is they came. A letter which reached
Secretary Gum later in the day was
from the same gentleman, and stated
that if the committee would take care
of the band boys when once they reach
ed the city, the steamer Telephone
would bring them down and return
them up the river free of charge.
Messrs. Gum and Overlook, with their
usual energy, began a hurried canvass
and had assurance enough within all
hour or so, to admit of their wiring
Manager Seeley that the band would
be taken care of, and to trot them
along 1t is now proposed to have
them give sacred concert on Sunday
evening, weather permitting.
The second piece of good news was
contained in an Associated Press dis
patch from Vallejo, California, and
which stated that the Monterey had
started for Astoria. Later in the day
the following private dispatch to the
Astorian from the San Francisco Ex-
aminer was received:
San Francisco, August 10.
Astorian, Astoria, Or.
The Monterey sailed from the navy
yard at II this morning; will try her
new rudder in San Pablo Bay, then
go north. THE EXAMINER.
OF course this was cheering news to
everybody, and arrangements were at
once made for the reception Of the
Monitor and her crew.
Mr. Stuttz, having offered his band
for the entertainment of the visitors
to the regatta, it has been decided to
give them berth on one of the steam
ers that will lay at anchor in the
stream.
The Fort Candy Life Saving Crew
have made entries for six events.
Martin Olsen will commence selling
pools on the races at the Real Estate
Exchange rooms on Thursday next.
M. j. Kinney will enter his boats to-
day.
Everyone should start in today and |
decorate their buildings, not little,
but all over. Paint the town red, white
and blue, and then get ready to receive
the visitors.
This is the last day of entry. Every
one should get their boats in and regis
tered.

The board OF education will do well
20 remember that in selecting teachers
for the public schools that they are ex-
rected to-look out for the scholars in
terest5 first, last ard all the time. These
pupils cannot stand the expense of ex-
perlments. Their time is precious. The
golden period for them is short. And If
politics or personal gain is liable to
prevail in the selection OF the teachers
OF our youth in the public school, the
course is wrong, very wrong.

State HOSPITALS.

We hope that the Senate bill changing
the legal title Of our 'lunatic asylums" &c
state hospitals" will pass both houses
and become a law.
Superintendent Blackford. IN his annual
report of the Western Asylum for the
year $780, recommends the change, as he
does in his subsequent reports, and says
1.-THE word 1unatic' IS not only dis
tasteful to the patients I'm an asylum, but
to their friends and relatives. and TO the
public at large. and is a relic Of a past
superstition which should be eliminated
from the legal titles OF all institutions
in which the unfortunate insane are cared
for and under treatment"
The State OF New York. approaching the
more humane and advanced conception
OF institutions for the insane. has re-
Gently passed law authorizing the chang
ing of the legal style and title OF the
State Lunatic Asylum at Utica to the
Utica State Hospital, and this has led
to the remaining OF all similar State insti-
tutions IN that State.
They are now called state hospitals"
instead OF "lunatic asylums." Other States
are making similar changes. North Caro-
lima, we believe. has made this change.
DR.. Blackford further says In his re-
port:
"'The belief that there IS a connection
between the moons phases and the men,
tai condition of the insane seems now SO
absurd that the word lunatic, in which
that belief was embodied. has come 10
have lulicrous associations, TO which the
insane are painfully sensitive. To con-
tinue its use Is to add needlessy to suffer
ings, which are. in many cases, already
heavy enough. and l cannot but believe
that the suggestion i make, when en-
bodied in the form of motion, will meet
the hearty approval OF every member OF
the Legislature."
