1t. If they conclude to work 1t them
selves, they will put in large MILL the
development being sufficient to warrant
such a course.

Women Have Few Rights There Barbar-
GUS Treatment OF Insane Patients.
Berlin, June 8.-Another question at
fecting the political rights of women
has just been decided against them.
An antiquated law still exists which
prohibits women scholars and appren-
tees from joining a political society.
A few women recently formed in Berlin
a woman's agitation committee, hav-
ing for its object to obtain for women
equal political rights with men. The
leaders of this movement were ar
raigned by the public prosecutor, and
the magistrate before whom they We're
brought sentenced the women to fines
ranging from 30 to so marks and or
dered the society dissolved.
The anti-Semite people, of which
Prince Ahlwardt and Boekel are lead
ers, adopted their platform at a meet
ing this week. The chief plank, nat
urally. is propaganda to exclude Jews
from all public offices and honors and
also from the press, law and medicine.
A sensation has been created by the
revelations regarding the barbarous
treatment of the lunatic inmates of the
monastery of Mariaberg. made during
the trial of a suit for Islander brought
against Herman Mellage, an innkeeper
of Scharre, and Warnatzsch, a news
paper man who published an exposure
of the methods of the monks, whose
methods became known on the escape
of a Scotch priest, Father Forbes,
whose escape was facilitated by Herr
Mellage The evidence shows that the
monks are illiterate men, totally unfit
ted to be attendants in the asylum.
They inflicted cruel personal punish
ment. sometimes immersing the patient
headforemost in ice-cold water. After
a weeks hearing. the accused were &C
quilted, as the public prosecutor ad-
mitted that the allegations were justi-

Not Enough Evidence to Try Him for
Adultery.

Colfax, June S.-The case of the state of
Washington VS.. Floyd 1. Moore, the col
lege student of Pullman, charged with
adultery with Mrs. Saddler, came up in
the superior court yesterday. Prosecuting
Attorney Garfield laid before the judge
the facts alleged in the complaint and
asked the opinion of the court as to
whether there were sufficient facts al
legged to constitute crime under the
laws of the state of Washington, and
the court ruled that there was not, so the
case was thrown out on motion of the
prosecution, and Mr.. Moore's bondsmen
exonerated from the bond.
The evidence which was offered by the
prosecution in the preliminary examina
ton was fatally weak, consisting merely
of Saddler's testimony, that Moore had
admitted to him his guilt. The charge was
instituted by Saddler to compel Moore to
give him letters written to Moore by Mrs
Saddler. Saddler wanted the letters to
offer as evidence to resist the suit of Mrs.
Saddler for a divorce.
