A NEW DIRECTORY.

A Register reporter CLEANED some in
teresting facts yesterday regarding this
publication. to be issued by the Com
mercial Printing Company, and which
VIII meet the approval of the business
men of Wheeling. The Company hav-
inc the matter in hand, are well
equipped for this line Of work, having
published directories for other parties.
They will have an experienced corps of
directory people to compile the city,
which will be done as soon in April,
1896. as can be after the moving has all
taken place.
In addition to having as accurate a
book as is possible, and having it out
at the proper time, they have made ar
rangements to have an alphabetical list
of postoflces of the United States, to-
gether with postal regulations, etc,
making a book of ZOO or 500 pages.
There is little doubt but that the Direc-
tory for 1896, published by this Com

PRIVATE INSANE HOSPITAL KA1DED
Long Island officials Win a Fight Begun
Eight Years Ago


New York. November pa private
insane asylum maintained for the last
eight years at Amityville, L. l., by John
Louden. was raided to-day by the State
Commissioners in Lunacy. Louden was
arrested and held to await the action OF
the grand jury on two charges for IL
legally combining insane persons, and
for conducting private asylum for tne
insane with out a license. This was the
elimination of a struggle that was De-
gun in 1891.
Louden is not a doctor, and he never
studied medicine He used TO work for
a Long Island butcher, many years ago.
He got into politics and made friends.
He was a keeper In the poorhouse, and
later he filled the Office Of superintend-
ent of the poor. That constitutes his
training, and flied him to keep the man
ner of asylum" he is said to have
kept.
When the Commission in Lunacy was
appointed, in 1891, the commissioners
refused to give Louden license for hid
private asylum. They declared that he
was an ignorant man, not qualified by
education to properly attend 10 the
wants of the insane, and that his ac-
commodations were insufficient. Louden
was not at all discouraged. He an
nounced, however, that now his patients
were all idiots and epileptics. BY means
of this specious plea he kept the COM
missioners at bay ever since until this
morning.
They laid many traps for him, and
finally secured the necessary evidence.
1t is said that he never required COM
mitment papers, and the word Of any
one willing to pay $40 week was sufi-
cient to convince him of a patients
insanity.

A CITY OF ANGELS

Los Angeles is peculiarly favored. 1t is
city of such high moral character that
other communities cite us as model of
civic rectitude and personal purity. If
you doubt this statement read our news
papers and listen to the discourses of our
preachers. Especially do our ministers of
the gospel assist the impression that Los
Angeles is even better than she ought to
be. The newspapers do, sometimes, in
their local columns, exploit the results of
! human weakness, and occasionally they
relate incidents that might tend to re-
fleet upon the character of the city.
But as far as any direct criticism of our
morality is concerned nothing is offered
and the natural inference follows that we
have nothing to criticise. Other cities are
wicked enough. We know they are wicked,
because they say so. Their newspapers
| TEEN with the horrors of an immortality
that would make a Phryne blush and
cause envy to beam new lighted on the
brow OF Lothario. From the pulpits of
sanctuaries Boanerges thunders denun-
citation upon Vice rampant in the
! commonwealth. These men go down
even into the by-ways OF the town and
traverse the slums to acquaint themselves
with the actual condition of humanity
weltering in its sin; grand juries invest-
gate the turpitude of public officials legis-
lative committees "Lexow" the boodlers
in high places; civic federations organize
raids on the embattled ranks of corrup-
tionists defiant of the law. All these
reforms are progressing in other
cities, and Los Angeles not only con-
graduates herself, but is to be congratu-
lated by less moral communities when the
latter ascertain that the poetical designa-
ton of the city is not vain assumption.
Los Angeles is given over to business.
She has no time to indulge in immortality.
Her streets are lined with business
blocks and there is no room for "slums.'
Her officials are honest men and they ad-
minister the affairs of the municipality
without fear of personal consequences;
seeking favor Of no clique or selfish inter
est--pursuing the even tenor of their in
tegrity i'll despite of every temptation to
deviate or stray along the howery meads
of unholy dallance.
1t is not every city that can boast of as
high character as does Los Angeles and
the sooner the world is informed of our
pre-eminence, the better it will be rs an
example and a model for such sinks of
iniquity as San Francisco, and Chicago,
and New Gork-those modern Babylons
on the dead walls OF which the hand
writing is already ominously cleaning.

TWO GOOD BILLS

Each succeeding session of the Legis-
lature accumulates upon the statute books
laws that are not without merit and that
would be of great public benefit if prop
erly enforced. The great trouble how.
ever, seems to be that if measure is
passed and receives the sanction of the
chief executive, the abuse it seeks to
abolish, is forgotten and the offenders re-
main unmolested. Another obstacle in
the proper execution of new as well as old
laws is, that the measures, while they are
intended to remedy a certain evil make
the discovery Of the transgressor almost
impossible.
One of these bills is now pending in the
Assembly. 1t makes the payment by
apothecaries and the receipt by physi-
clans, of commissions on prescri ptions
misdemeanor on the part of both. 1t is
well known that this practice is now in
force, and that it should be abolished, but
even if the bill should become law it
will be exceedingly difficult to obtain
conviction, as it would be impossible to
produce direct evidence, upon which such
conviction could be based. Certainly no
druggist would dare to testify against
puyslCldH WlUH WnOm ne mas contract TO
pay commissions on prescriptions, as it
would mean the loss of patronage not only
through the doctor who is implicated, but
through every other member of the medi-
cal profession.
While the object of the measure is
worthy Of the support of the legislators,
the law would merely become a dead
letter the moment it is passed
Another bill, however, should be passed
and provisions be made for its enforce
ment 1t was introduced by Assembly
man Keen, and makes the adulteraton of
milk and the sale of skinned milk and
milk from diseased cows misdemeanor.
1t is now enforced in older communities
and it protects the public against an i'm
position that is practiced in every city
and town in this state, to the dire injury
of the health of the people. The question,
however, arises where to find an honest
and competent milk inspector.
