ONCE MORE HIS MOUTH.

We may be wrong about it-this
newspaper does not profess to be
an authority on matters that relate to
prize-ring pugs-yet we believe that the
Standard speaks by the card when 1t
asserts that Corbett must be wrong
when he tells the associated press to
say on his account: "Fitzsimmons is
the only men the people want me to
meet"
1.-THE people" care very little whether
Corbett meets Fitzsimmons or anybody
else. He is a pugilistic has-been. He
lodged Fitzsimmons up and down the
Southwest. keeping himself always
within easy reach of local authorities
who were willing enough to let him
fight If he got out of their reach. as he
might have done conveniently.
When the chance presented itself for
safe fighting ground near Eel Paso, this
man Corbett hurried to make Maher
the legatee of all his fistic laureis; last
weeks results show what poor guess
he made in assuming that his heir was
III W Ilctl HlESliiiiilOhS. We W. hON
pretend to be authority on prize-ring
performances. but it seems to us that
IL is in order for Fitzsimmons to whip
almost any duffer that comes his way
and then ask Corbett to meet the de-
feated man rather than to talk loud
about facing the champion himself
Suppose Corbett were to tackle Maher;
plenty of people are satisfied that Ma
her would win in such an engage
ment.
We share the opinion, which we be-
lieve to be widespread, that Fitzsfm-
mons can whip Corbett at any turn of
the road. But, mind you, this news
paper does not profess. to discuss the
sporting events by the card--we speak
in a professional way. And, speak
ing in that spirit we add the express
sion of our ardent hope that. at no
distant day, Fitzsimmons will meet
Corbett and whip him so thoroughly
that the people" will hear no more Of
his staggering tongue. That consum-
nation is so devoutly to be wished
that. for its part, the Standard will
earnestly advocate free fighting room
for these two men II they want to pitch
their battle anywhere in Montana.

carries weight. Still IL the proposition
is admitted that love is insanity good
many people who now hold themselves
in check when they discover their love
going forth to the wrong objects. will
feel disposed to give their insane ten
denotes free scope on the ground that
they are not morally responsible. On
the whole, If love is insanity. even in
a minority of cases, it is better for the
doctors to keep the fact to themselves.
once let the idea get out and take root,
and the world will become a much big
ger lunatic asylum than it is now. We
are inclined to think, too, that DR..
Hamilton is rather too dogmatic in his
assertion that love has no symptoms"
Possibly he is generalizing the race
from his own experience. But If DR..
Hamilton was ever in love and
didn't give himself dead away not
only to the girl but to half the town,
he is endowed with exceptional powers
of self control

LOVE AND INSANITY

A trial has been going on in New
York to determine the mental condi-
ton of a man in love. Daniel Levy is
charged with annoying a Mrs. Lehman,
by following her on the street, casting
loving glances at her. and writing her
passionate letters. The following re-
port of the examination of DIR. Allen
McLane Hamilton gives one an idea of
the scope of the inquiry:
DIR. Allen McLane Hamilton testified
that Levy is insane and described his
insanity as paranoia seXuals. and said
he was likely to kill any one who stood
between him and the object of his af-
lection, and was likely to commit suicide.
Levy's admission to Mrs. Lehman's hus-
band that he could not help loving her
was clear evidence that he was insane.
Levy's case is chronic. and he should he
confined. The long period of time that
Levy had loved Mrs. Lehman, knowing
that his love was hopeless, was clear evil
dence of his insanity. DR.. Hamilton was
cross-examined by Mr.. Holm.

Odd you ever hear that Abraham
Lincoln wept over the death Of a woman

ON THE GPOTND.

Miss Clara Barton is likely to accom-
plish her mission of faith, hope and
charity in Armenia. When the an
nouncement was made, just before
Miss Barton and those associated with
her in the relief work of the Red Cross
society were ready to begin their jour
ney, that the Red Cross society would
not be allowed to distribute relief to
the suffering Armenians, there was
general disapproval of the edict. The
Red Cross society was not deferred,
however, and Miss Barton set out upon
her mission, although uncertain wheth-
er she could go farther than Constanti-
nople. While she was on the voyage
Minister Terrell received assurances
that she would be allowed to carry out
her relief work, although the sultan
still refused to recognize her society
officially.
1t now appears that the sultan has
given Miss Barton assurances of full
protection and aid for her agents in
dispensing charity, thus virtually rec
ognizing the society in an official man
ner. This means a great deal. 1t is a
signal triumph for Miss Barton, Min
lister Terrell and American charity.
