a recent occurrence in this city invites
alteauou to q dangerous practice onthc part
of lhe officials and managers Of hospitals
Tor The insane This is the paroling OF
pauents-that is, permitting them 10 leave
the institution and 20 at large during
good behavior" Numerous instances are
on record where patients thus permitted

10 the care OF relatives and friends. have

plaI for the insane and every time dis
charged during good behavior" When
recently again committed one or the attend
u@ physicians stated. in response to an
inquiry, that the patient would be again
turned loose as soon as the spell had worn
Off
This practice OF paroling patients in
hospitals for the insane is a great and
grIev5ls wrong, both 10 them and to the
pubHc, for a person whose mind is perma-
neutly dcrauEcd in any degree. no matter
how harmless his mania may generally
appear, is apt, at any moment, when irri-
tated through some in itself innocent
cause, 10 do serious injury 10 himself or
others, even 10 the taking Of life.
Nothing is more aEouizing TO the humane
Than the Incarceration of a person in an
insane asylum. It's Ten times worse than
death itself But the community has rights
which must not be sacrificed, and the
afflicted themselves must notbeIeftcxposcd
to the danger Of the sudden ebuIHtions
Of mind diseased What would be thought

WOULDN'T PLAY BALL.

The only small thing about Corbet is
his courage. No more ambitious soul ever
existed in the expectancy Of wearing golden
slippers, and no greater capabilities for
absorbing an things in sight We're ever
known than are displayed by nisnomer
Gentleman Jim. He was engaged to play
baseball al Pittsburg, but when confronted
with a professional pitcher refused to
continue the game unless permitted to
make a hit every time he went to bat
There VIII be rejoicing among the fra
teuHty when Corbctt goes to bat with
Fitz,immons as pitcher at Dallas. The
game viii not last long, nor will there be
an opportunity for Corbett to skulk
home unless he gets easy hits. There viii
be about three rounds, and Corbett viii
go TO the bench retired for all time
from the championship honors. 1t will
also be the end OF a great public nuisance.

peculiar developments of the Knox fire
that leads to the belief that our city

uory Of other valuable documents, which

discovery Of the Holt VIII as a relic OF

Besides being of good value to those
interested in the estate Of the late Judge
Holt, this discovery is additional evidence
that The Times is really a modern news
paper Its facilities and ability to uueartb
mysteries and publish facts concerning
all important events has gained for it an
enviable reputation, and its popularity
is sufficient proof that the public appre-
oiates that kind OF newspaper enterprise
