ALLEGED TO BE INSANE.
Marion Manola Mason. the Actress. in a
New Hampshire Institute.

BOSTON. Mass, Sept. 1-Marion Manola
Mason, the actress. and wife Of John Ma
son, the actor, is at institute at North
Conway, N. H., alleged to be insane. She
was carried there week ago, but the facts
in the case have just leaked out. They be-
came public in shape of rumor that the
actress was at institute for treatment
for the opium habit, and that she had been
treated before for the same infirmity. This
rumor was taken to her husband, John Ma
son, for veriication or denial. He said: MY
wife is suffering from mental trouble
brought on by the veXations of our recent
legal affairs and business misfortunes. The
strain of our trouble at the fremont Thea
ter and the subsequent experience with the
New York diamond broker who caused our
arrest are responsible for Marion's condi-
ton. We are assured she will be all right

Thomas Fortune interviewed.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1-Mr. Thomas For
tune. president of the Afro-American
League, in an interview relative to the
sextuple lynching in Tennessee said: 'It
is very hard to get correct report OF
these lynchings and their true causes from
the spot where they occur There can,
however, be no justification for lynching
of this character. Where these men who
were slaughtered would only have suf-
fered few years in penitentiary, even
If the offense were proven against them,
there is less than the ordinary amount Of
justification for such slaughter. 1t seems
to me that this lynching in Tennessee is on
par with. and as much open to excuse,
as the lynching of eleven Italians in New
Orleans in 1892 and the lynching Of three
men in Memphis in 1893. The bone of the
whole contention is not the offense, but the
method of melting out justice for a supposed
offense. If it is justifable to lynch a man
for murder or for criminal assault, it Is
equally justifiable to lynch him for stealing
chickens or hogs, and If 1t is permitted
to lynch a man for the former crime it will
become prescriptive to lynch for the latter
and that is the way the thing naturally
works. 1t is question whether these men
ever burned any barns at all. Probably a
proper investigation would show that these
men mad become obnoxious to their white
neighbOrS on account of their prosperity
or their activity In denouncing wrong, and
thus laid the basis of getting rid of them.
1T seems to me that the activity of the
English people in this matter of American
lynching. with the Duke of Argyll at their
head, will have the effect of creating I'm
the South a respect for the law, and for
this reason: The people OF the South can
not expect foreign capital and foreign inn
migration to seek investment or settle
ment while such insecurity for life is no.
torious." Mr.. Fortune then quoted sew
eral influential English newspapers on the
enormities OF lynching, and said Congress-
man Blair had introduced a bill in the last
Congress for the investigation of one phase
OF the matter, and if an Investigation were
ever ordered he had no doubt ali the pha ses
would be properly punctured and exposed
and the exposure was bound to result i'm
good, because the American sense of fair
play and justice would shame Southern
white men into at least keeping their ras-
calities hidden from the public gaze"

THE STRIKE INQUIRY
CARROLL ID. WRIGHT DISCUSSES
THE COMMISSIONS WORK.
Over 100 Witnesses Examined and
Testimony Taken That VIII Cover
1000 Printed Pages.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Carroll d.
Wright, chairman of the strike investigat-
ing commission, returned last night from
Chicago and left here to-day for Boston.
He will remain away until Sept. %, and on
the following day the strike investigation
will be resumed in this city. In an inter-
view with a reporter, to-day, Commissioner
Wright expressed his confidence in the ben
eficial results Of the inquiry, and summed
up the work Of the commission by saying:
"a number of newspaper statements as to
what the committee. is likely 20 recommend
have been brought to my notice. The COM
mission, however, has formulated no rec
concentrations. decided none, and all
such statements are mere guesswork. l con-
slider the investigation thoroughly success
full All leading men or both sides, rail-
road leaders and Pullman officials, freely
gave testimony, and the investigation was
conducted fearlessly, impartially and in the
most searching manner. 1 believe it will
do great good in the end, and that out Of
it will come most valuable recommenda-
tions. The commission sat fourteen days
and examined 107 witnesses. 1t has now
adjourned to meet IL Washington on the
26th for the purpose of hearing any teSti-
mony which may be considered necessary
for the completion Of the report, and which
parties on either side Of the controversy
may deem essential to the case. In the
meantime each member of the commission
will be hard at work studying the testi-
mony already furnished. the laws bearing
on the various features involved in the
investigation, and preparing himself for the
commissions final report. Our plan is to
have the report ready in the middle of No
vember, and to submit it to Congress early
in the next session. AS the testimony taxi

taking becomes annarent"

Practical Charity.
Neln York Post.

A very practical charity is that OF the
philadelphia authorities, who are giving idle
men employment in the public parks. This
they are able to do with the ana of a relief
fund of $50, 900, and the regulations of a re-
lief committee govern in the selection and
payment of the men. Wages are 81 a day.
Most OF the men are common laborers, but
among them are mechanics who can find
nothing better to do. The director of the
park department has mapped out a months
work for 1000 men, and he says that a little
later he will be able to use 8, 700 as long as
cold weather lasts. The work done is natu-
rally of u simple character, such as carting
way hillocks, cutting down cmbankmenIs
and grading. Eight hundred men applied
for employment the first day, and this mum
Der was increased to 800 tho second. Some
of the recruits were evidently not INJURED to
such hard work, but stuck to it sLoutly. The
distribution OF cards to applicants is in the
hands of the police inspectors.
