Adjudged Insane.

Drs. Hickiing and hewitt made an exam
ination Of the unfortunate lady today to
ascertain her sanity. 1t was decided that
she was not in her right mind and should

PROHIBITION IN MAINE.
Alderman TOlman OF Portland Calls
the Law q Failure.


the Law q Failure.
Judge George Tolman, one Of the alder
manic dignitaries Of Portland, Me-, is at
the ,Normandie. He is an entertaining
talker and democrat. Although the tariff,
especially that part of it concerning lumber,
fish, salt and lime. commands some atten-
ton, the live and living topic of the hour
In his country is the liquor problem. Alder
man Tolman declares that prohibition does
not prohibit. He said: you can walk into
a hotel or drug store in Portland and buy
any kind of drink from a small beer to a
hot scotch or an absinthe cocktail. You
can also get as many drinks as physical
law mot municipal law will allow. No
questions will be asked. Plenty of drunk
en- men can be met with. Sheriff Cram
during his first term of office enforced the
law to the letter. He was elected by 800
majority. Last fall he was a candidate
for reelection, and although he had main
tanned the law, he was elected by the skin
of his teeth, and went in by a plurality Of
As. This shows that the good people of
Portland did not relish his enforcement Of
the law. The law is unpopular. 1t is not
backed by public opinion. The sentiment
in the cities in Maine is not ripe for the
acceptance Of this so-called moral reform.
The people Of the cities favor license law
which will permit hotels and drug stores
to dispense liquor under certain restric-
TONS

timber just now?" inquired The Star man.
"Oh. Reed is very loudly and widely talk

Where Is Mckinley? 1t is too previous to

will any Of the Maine democrats kick
over the traces because the Wilson bill
happens to hit one Of their pet industrfes?'
1.-The democracy of Maine" said Judge
Tolman, is too loyal. They will sustain
the Marty n0fwffhst ndino that some of
their whims and oddities may get knocked
In the head. Maine is becoming a demo-
cratic state. and the democracy believes in

FOX HUNTING.
The Chevy Chase Club Have sport on

New Year.
The hunters were out in force yester-
day. over thirty-nve engaging in the
chase. The preliminary run was from the
Woodiey Inn TO the Chevy Chase headquar-
tiers. The riders. in their pink coats the
hounds. in their eagerness. and the horses.
In their best trim. all presented a sight that
made the thirty or forty prominent people
who had assembled to see the start watch
every moment pass with impotence in
anticipation Of the spirited pleasure to fol-

and there broken by bitches and fences to

house was reached in short time. the riders

foxes let loose during the course Of the
afternoon. and In the efforts of the hounds
to Keep close on to the scent and the riders

and steady. The first sly rascal didn't want
to leave the trap he had been kept in and
went back several times. Finally he

Racing Matinee.

The fact that racing without betting has
no attraction for the racing public In the
winter time was clearly demonstrated yes

day, not more than 100 people attended the
racing matinee at the Ivy City track There
was, however, a large attendance of horse
men. touts stable boys and hangers-on,

REMINDS HER OF ,76,
The Wife of President Dole Writes Of
the Feeling i'm Hawaii.


the Feeling i'm Hawaii.
BOULDER, Col, Jan. 2.-Cnder date of
December last Mrs. Dole. wife of the
president of Hawaii. wrote an interesting
letter to her nephew. Guy Bennett. Of this
city. from which this extract is taken:
1.-The news of Cleveland's policy OF re-
storing the queen came upon us like a
thunderbolt The excitement is intense
here. The provisional government rose to
the emergency in a splendid way. / ad-
mire their magnificent courage even while
I tremble. They fortified the legislative
building more strongly and gave out pub
licly that they would resist attacks from
whatever quarter. They are ready to sac
riflce their lives In this great cause.-the
cause of freedom and civilization In these
islands. 1t all reminds me more than any
thing of the old revolutionary times in the
United States: the same spirit and much
the same cause, only more need here, II
seems to me.
rs it not good how Cieveland's plan for
restoring the queen on the 10th of Novem-
Der was frustrated and how the great
American people have risen up in their
wrath and will restrain him from his out
rageous designs? 1t Is a fine thing to see.
And to think Of little Hawaii causing all
this excitement: but there Is q tremendous
principle involved in the struggle Of free
dom and right against monarchical tyranny
and wrong. 1t is grand to see the spirit
here. But we believe now the people have
taken UP the cause and We shall be all
right We are hoping for good news from
Congress by next steamer"

The Latest White House Crank Quite
Well known Here.
Mrs. Losey, or Luci. the eccentric old lady
who applied at the White House yesterday
for alienation Of her alleged grievances as
detailed in The Star. has been in Washing
ton before upon a similar errand. She came
to this city last May and boarded at S21
18th street for about four months. 1t Is said
that she at that time exhibited the same
idiosyncrasy that she displayed yesterday,
and that she would talk frequently upon her
alleged wrongs inflicted at the hands of
the President, a. she claimed. The people
In the house soon came to regard her as
a harmless and eccentric person and paid
but little attention to her vagaries. She was
left very much to herself by the people in
the house, who were disinciined to have any
relations with her. 1t was never believed.
however. that she was at all dangerous, and
the people only regarded her as a person
suffering with dementia upon certain topics.
1t Is said that she paid her bills regularly
and explained that money was furnished her
by her son.
A dispatch from Camden. NJ j., says that
Mrs. Luci has a son living in that city. His
name Is G. G. Luci, and he was a book
makers clerk at the Gloucester race track
He said that his mother had been demented
for ten or fifteen years, but that she was
against anyone. She refuses to live perman-
entity at any place. and Luci sends her
money for her support. About a week ago
she wrote him from Washington that ne
was President OF the United States and she
wanted him to come on and assume the
office. Luci says that he has no fears Of his
mother doing any harm to anyone, as her
mania has never been violent.

NEW IDEA IN TELESCOPES.
Mr.. Gathman Thinks Lens 100 Feet in
Diameter Can BE Made.

CHICAGO, March "a telescope is

feet i'm diameter. more efficient in proper
ton for every scientific purpose than the
Lick or Yerkes telescope. There is no rea-
son in telescope science why We should
not see the inhabitants of Mars and see
TO pick up a pin on the NOON
This is the bold utterance of Mr.. Gath
man, an inventor of this city, well known
as a manufacturer of milling machinery
and as the designer of the Gathman pro-
jectile system. Mr.. Gathman's idea is that
a lens be constructed in sections. He has
made a model and secured patent right
first in Germany and then in this country.
Mr.. Gathman says that a lens in sections
can be made as correct any other lens,
provided the sections are separated by dull
black partitions which prevent an inter-
rejection OF light from their margins. The
sensitiveness of a lens 10 such disturbances
is we'll understood. y single air bubble
however small. in a lens however large,
renders ii worthless, the reason being that
il spOils and refracts certain rays OF light
and causes confusion at the focal point.
Mr.. Gathmans theory is that IL the bubble
is bored out and the opening filed with
dun, black material the lens will be perfect
again. But he thinks there Is no use go
ing TO this trouble when lenses can be made
in small sections and the perfection OF
each section assured before liz is used.
