A MANIAC DANCE

TOPEKA, Kas., Feb. 23.-The state asy-

mask ball.
For two weeks the officials have been
busily engaged in arranging for the event,
and the happy interest manifested by the
patients more than repaid them. More
than 100 patients took part in the dance,
and all were costumed in precisely the
same grotesque and handsome fashions to
be found at the ordinary function of the
kind. Every person permitted upon the
floor was en- masque. Occasionally pa
tient would become hoisterously mirthful,
when he or she would be quietly removed.
The lady attendants danced with the male
patients and vice versa. Two insane peo-
pie we're not permitted to dance together.
and through this system the best order
was maintained and confusion of all kinds
was avoided.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-The steamship Vic

Davenport tonight from Port Natal. Two
hundred and fifty of DIR. Jameson's men

to be under military arrest.
A dispatch from Plymouth says they
have promised to avoid any statement to
the press.

of Earl Gray as administrator of the Char
tered South African company, and says:
His acceptance of the post is an earnest
thority to support and cooperate, with Mr..
Cecil Rhodes in his projects for the inter-
nal development of the company's terri
tory.
During his sojourn in Africa Earl Grey
will cease to have any pecuniary interest
other than that inherent to the position of
director in this connection and will con-
slider himself excluded from taking any
part in the pursuit of wealth. Briefly sum-
