MANIAC --NAB0B.
No Help For One, Plenty Of
Protection For the Other.
Two Pictures From Life Etched BY a
News Correspondent.

III you think You have room for this in
THE News please don't put it in that
small type in which communications "to
the editor" and signed Taxpayer"
'oldest resident" etc, usually appear.
When Isee those kind OF communications
in the morning paper, touching upon some
OF Its pet schemes, I'm distressed with
the belief that they are written in the
office like a man writing to himself.
A beautiful Sunday afternoon, not long
ago, man well known about town wis
sitting in the captains room at the Cen
trail Police Station. The windows were
open and couple OF singing birds up in
the tree in front were making that portion
OF Canal street melodious. Rattlirg
wheels suddenly stopped in front of the
city's big guard house. The man on the seat
with the hack driver came into he station.
There were four persons inside of the
hack. One was woman talking wildly.
Her hair was loose and flying about her
face and shoulders. Four strong hands,
two on the seat with her and two from
the opposite side, held the woman's slen-
der wrists firmly. There was something
strange about the scene, and to one who
had come in contact with anything of the
sort before, it said:
"This is maniac"
The man who came into the police sta
tion wanted to know il the sadly stricken
woman could be p1acad in the padded cell
until morning, when arrangements for
her safe keeping could be completed.
He said that the husband in the hack
was without friends in the city, and that
he and two other neighbors had lent
him a helping hand. The day before,
without any apparent reason the woman
had gone suddenly mad. Neighbors had
removed the children and the crazy
woman made the vicinity hideous in her
wild raving. She was violent
and dangerous. When the husband
returned from his daily work, in the
evening, be was greeted with an awful
sight. His home was a wreck, his chill
dren scattered and his wife a maniac.
He went TO the police station of the
district in which he lived to seek aid.
but the officer told him that he
had no authority TO send
policeman on such duty. Ii was not pub
Tic business and the city did not support
its police force for anything but public
protection. He was sorry, but the hus-
band would have to look out for his wife
as best he cound.
"But she will kill someone" said the
husband.
"Well, we'll have to take that risk"
was the reply.
All night long the man who told the
story in the Central Station and the three
others in the hack outside. watched with
the husband. They had no particular
Interest, but the common one of humanity.
IL was distressing case and the husband
was sorely in need OF assistance.
" Can she be put in the padded cell ?"
I" No! You will have 10 take care OF
her as best you can until the court meets

THE NEWPORT SESSION.
What viii Be Done by The General
Assembly Tomorrow.

Mayor Olney and the members OF the
city committee appointed to attend the
June session of the Legislature at New
port to protect the interests OF
the city in securing the passage OF
special legislation will take the
train tomorrow morning over the
Old Colony line. They will seek to secure
the passage of the policy lottery, anti
parochial exemption and street sprinkling
bills by the Senate at the morning session,
and IL they are successful, Will make q
special effort to secure public hearings
during the afternoon or evening before
the House judiciary committee TO which
expressed by members OF the committee as
to the probability OF the enactment OF
these measures in the form desired by
the City Council for the reason that ex-
-perience has shown that IL the yeomanry
who predominant in both branches teke 1t
into their heads to be obstinate, the
amendment, defeat or postponement OF
the bills Is likely to eDsue. Both branches
will be called to order at IL O'Clock,
and the first hour will be devoted
to transaction OF routine business. At IL
o'clock the ballot will be taken for a
United States Senator TO succeed Nathan
+. Dixon. The clerks call the names OF
the members in each House, they rise and
announce their choice, aud the result is
recorded in the journals. Then follows a
resumption of business, recess and an
afternoon session. At IL o'clock on We'd
ncsday, both houses rleet in Grand Com
mittee, the record of the ballot in the
Senate and House journals is read and the
declaration is made that the person OBJ
tanning the majority of the votes is elected.
1t Is doubtful whether the session will be
prolonged later in the afternoon, as the
reception by Senator-elect Wetmore at
Hartmann's is between the hours OF one
and four o'clock.

EDUCATION DOES HARM
When Applied to the inGian, Says
Delegate Smith of Arizona.


WASHINGTON, June 11.-Delegate Mark
Smith OF Arizona will make an effort to
have the appropriation for the
Carlisle Indian school struck from
the Indian bill. Mr.. Smith says the
education of Indians in Carlisle, Hampton
and other Eastern institutions has done
more harm than good. His observation
In the Western country has shown
him that the women graduates of these
schools consider themselves superior
TO their Indian associates and turn their
attention TO the miners and dissolute
white men of the Indian country, to
the destruction of the morals and
decency of the Indian girls. The male
graduates are also said to have their
vicious traits sharpened so that they
are more dangerous class than
their unlettered brothers. Mr.. Smiths
criticisms are confined to the Eastern
schools, where the pupils are removed
from their families and friends.

When the case of Thomas Wilson VS..
New York, New Haven q Hartford Rail-
road, was called before Judge Rogers this
morning, Walter b. Vincent, attorney for

TO that governing fire escapes. II man
failed TO comply with the law, and any
one should be injured through his
neglect he could be fined, but
suit could not be brought

railroad was subject to fine, but not
open to suits for damages.
Judge Rogers overruled the appeal. Mr.
Vincent took exception to the decision
and the case continued. Il is still pend

strikes Condemned.

A paper read before the Associa-
ton Of House Painters and Decor
ators recently in asession in this
city took stronge ground against.
strikes. 1t was set forth that the
principle of strikes is bad one,
and that the history of the world
has fully demonstrated their utter
failure and uselessness as a means
of righting the wrongs of labor.
every strike" said the reader Of
this paper, "no matter how small,
disturbs the entire business world,
disRrranges the agencies OF pro-
duction, aud institutes disorder
among the wheels of trade and
transportation" The ground was
further taken that strikers ought
to be treated as violators Of law,
and that legislation ought to take
into account the prohibition of
strikes as much as it does that of
theft and Rraon. This, Of course,
is very advanced ground upon the
subject of labor strikes. 1t is
quite true that some things can be
said in favor of this form of bring
ing capital to terms. Yet almost
the universal judgment is that
strikes should never be resorted
to, except in cases where every
other expedient has failed.
1t is significant that almost. con-
temporary with the paper above
referred to was an address deliver
ed by the General Master Work
man of the Knights of Labor upon
the same subject. He said in the
city of Rochester that strikes are
failures. "They are failures even
when they succeed, for the results
attained by the cessation of labor
on the part Of organized workmen
sre temporary in character and do
not remedy the evils which cause
them" There have been strikes
since the stonecutters of Solomon'S
Temple laid down their tools and
refused to work, but in the opin.
ion of Mr.. Sovereign no permanent
relief for workmen or advance in
the progress of the labor contro-
versy has been brought about by
strikes. This is even more ad-
vanced ground than that taken by
the Master Painters, and such
views set forth by some of the
leading representatives of organ
! lied workmefi are sufficient 10 pro-
| duce an impression upon the minds
of those who study labor problems.
The day of the strike has gone by,
and what organized labor cannot
accomplish by peaceful means, by
agitation and arbitration and by
the judicious use of the ballot,
cannot possibly be accomplished
by the brutal methods of the strike
and boycott. Baltimore Herald.
