to maintain her insane asylums; it is in
credible that of all the patients in these
institutions over 81 per cent. are indigents.
and that but S3e, 240 can be exacted for the
support of patients from those bound to
maintain them.
The law requires that where the patient
has an estate, his or her support in the
asylum shall fall upon the estate. and
guardian is to be appointed by court to
administer and conduct the estate for that
purpose. If the patient is of the INDECENT
class. but has a husband. wife, father,
mother, or children living within the
State, of sufficient ability, they must sup
port the patient to the extent prescribed
by the Asylum Trustees and this has
been fixed at S15 month.
The opinion of the asylum officers is
that, if the law is not now sufficient to
compel those who ought and can con-
tribute to support of relatives in insane
asylums, it should be made adequate and
then be rigidly enforced.
1t is evident that the asylum officers
did not express all they feel upon this
subject; that they are convinced, as are
we, that the State is being robbed by in
direction in this matter, and that there is
large percentage of insane in the asy-
lums clothed, fed and medically treated
at the expense of the taxpayers, whose
relatives within the degrees of kindred
referred to are able to maintain them, but
shift the burden upon the State.
The conference referred to went so far
as to name committee of six to exam
inc into the whole matter and the laws
relating to the government of the asy-
lums, with view of securing such legis-
lative action as will result in reforms OF
the particular abuse to which we have re-
ferred and to betterment of asylum-gov-
erning conditions generally.
The conference also adopted resolu-
ton addressed to Congress asking for
such treaty adjustment as will acquire
the Chinese nation at it's own expense to
remove INDECENT insane subjects of such
nation from our asylums. Of insane
Cinnamon in our asylums $50 would fall
within this category.

Services at the Funeral of the Late
Conrad Clinch.
The funeral services of Conrad Clinch
were held at his late residence on Thurs
day at 9 P. NJ. Rev. A. G. Herrick offici-
ated. assisted by Rev. r. M. Stevenson.
Beautiful and appropriate hymns were
rendered at the home and the grave. A
large number of Masons and Chosen
Friends, also many members of the
Emmanuel Baptist Church, to which the
deceased belonged, and others who had
known the departed, gathered to sympa-
thize with the afflicted family.
In giving a sketch of his life and
character it was stated that the deceased
had been member Of the Baptist Church
for nearly fifty years, and member OF
the Masonic fraternity forty-five years.
He had been married forty-two years.
Modesty, sincerity, generosity and up
rightness were prominent traits in his
manly character.
The Masonic ritual at the grave was
very impressive. The abundance of
flowers was q silent testimonial of loving
hearts. Precious in the sight of the
Lord is the death of His saints"

Labor Commissioner Wright's report
on building and loan associations is at
hand, and presents some very interesting
figures as showing the wonderful growth
and popularity of this modern system of
house owning and investment. The
total number of these associations in the
United States is 5,S3S, of which 5,59S
are local and the remainder national;
that Oklahoma, Nevada aud Vermont
have the smallest number, one each,
and Pennsylvania the largest, 1,079;
that the number of shareholders
exceeds a million and three-quarters;
that the total net assets are above
$3.50, 900, 900, the profits above SS0,000,-
600, averge size of loans, SLIGO, and
number of homes acquired, 3l4, ,775.
Out of nearly six thousand asso-
Citations there are but 433 over 15 years
of age, fact which shows the recent
origin and rapid growth of the insti-
tuition. This" Colonel Wright re-
marks, Gin connection with the fact
that they have net assets of over
$3.50, 900, 600, have made total profits of
more than $50. 900, have helped to
secure probably over 400, 900 homes and
are semi banking institutions conducted
by ordinary men not trained as bankers
but yet have met with remarkably few
losses, shows conclusively the strong
hold which building and loan associa-
tions have taken upon the public"

Gates to what further extent it might be
carried by the adoption of business and
not socialistic methods in the conduct of

HUSBAND REFORM.

A society has been recently organized
in New York City for the Education
and Reform of Husbands OF course
its membership is limited to women.
Men couldn't reasonably be expected to
take an interest in the education and
reform of husbands.
The husband reform movement dates
back to very early days in the worlds
history, and while it has not been en-
tirely successful. there is no knowing
where husbands would have been
today If it were not for the sub.
tie influence of the movement. To
concentrate and organize that influence
will probably enable the devoted re-
formers to achieve results that have
heretofore been only negative in their
nature. SO that the victim of husband
reform, instead of being simply no worse
than husbands who are not reformed,
will be actually an Improvement on
such. Much interest will attach to the
first subject turned out by the reform
society's work and he will doubtless
prove to be something unique in the
husband line.
1t is noted with interest that the
membership list of the new society is
made up almost entirely of unmarried
ladies. This suggests one of two
conclusions: O either that married ladies
of experience realize the hopelessness of
any movement looking to the education
and reform Of husbands and are con-
tent to leave the attempt in the hands of
the young, and so enthusiastic mai
dens whose spirit ever prompts to
noble deeds however audacious
and impracticahle;;- (9 that
the husbands to be educated and re-
formed are confined to the prospective
kind only-the society thus being edu-
cational rather thar reformatory in its
nature.

ARAB INFLUENCE
Believed to Have Been Brought TO IN
End In Central Africa

ZANZIBAR. May THE expedition
under the command of Colonel Coville
sent against Kabarega, King of Unyoro,
has completely defeated the kings forces.
In November last kabarega attacked a
chief at Toru, who was a British ally.
The chief applied to the British for aid,
and a force of 200 Nubian soldiers was
sent to his assistance. This force met the
force OF Kabarega, and. after a fight that
lasted three hours. the latter fed. War
was then declared on Kabarega and a
force of 200 Nubians and 10000 Wayanda
natives was sent against him. Five
thousand Of the latter carried firearms.
This force was too strong for Kar.
abega, and, though he gave bat tie, he
was routed
The expedition has established q chain
of forts from the Albert Nyanza, on the
banks of which Kabdrega's headquarters
were situated, to Uganda 1t is expected
that the success of the expedition will
prove deathb blow to the slave trade of the
region and bring Arab influence to an end.
The advices further show that force
went to the north end OF Albert Nyanza
and descended the Nile to wadelai,
where the British flag was planted.

A BANKRUPTCY BILL.

From present indications there is little
prospect of the passage of a uniform
bankruptcy bill through Congress dur
ing the life Of the present Congress.
The Torrey bill is apparently doomed to
certain defeat and no other measure has
as yet been offered that commends itself
to the general public. The Torrey
bill has the endorsement of most of the
business bodies of the East and is essen
TALLY correct and valuable measure,
though perhaps in some of its details it
might be benefited by amendment.
The injustice of the present system
continues to bear heavily upon
both creditor and debtor alike
and such law as the proposed Torrey
law would obviate much of the existing
trouble. Surely if national legislation
is permissible to regulate commerce be-
tween States, to regulate railroad traffic
and the thousand and one other branches
of every day business life without the
charge of paternalism or Capitalization
Of power, there can be neither in
Congress passing a law whereby the
creditors in all States can receive equal
treatment, and debtor having COM
piled with the laws requirements, be
released from obligation in all States.
But for the indifference of friends of
the measure the Torrey bill would have
become a law last December, but as it
stands today, the present Congress has
its hands full of other business ard this
and other bills of like character will
die natural death from inaction when
the Congress dies.
