Bassett and wife were fined 800 and
costs today by Justice Nixon for starv-
ing their infant child. The evidence
showed that Bassett and his wife were
DESTROYS Of getting rid of an 1S-months-
old child, and tried to starve il. They
neglected it in every way, left it home
in the daytime without food OF water
and with nc one to care for it.
In default of payment of the fine they
went to Jail.
Bassett and wife were arrested on the
complaint of Health Officer Alban,
whose attention was called to the case
by Mrs. M. E. Graves, in whose charge
the child had been placed by Mrs. Bas-
sett Tuesday night. DR.. Alban said in
court today that when he called to see
the child he found it ravenous for
food, dirty and poorly clad. The body
was covered with bruises and sores, the
result Of neglect on the part of the
mother. Mrs. Basset is but II years
old and does not seem to understand
the responsibilities of a mother.

THE WHOLE FAMILY CRAZY.
An Extraordinary Gaze OF Religious
Mania.

An extraordinary Gaze or Religious
Mania.
Boomanville, Ont, Nov. ia
most extraordinary case of religious
mania is reported from a farmhouse
near the Long Sault. There, for a
number of years. resided Elijah Rice,
his wife and fifteen children. The
eldest son, Louis, 20 years old, recently
became insane, and announced himself
as the prince of the sandhills," and
declared that Christ had appointed him
to reform the world.
The mania extended to the father,
mother and the other children, who
neglected the farm and spent their
time in singing and praying. Re-
Gently the father conceived the idea
that Louis was pursued by the devil,
and that it must be beaten out of him.
Louis was knocked down with a leg
of a chair, and Mr.. and Mrs. Rice and
two IONS pounded him into insensibil-
ity. When this was done, they were
satisfied the devil was driven out.
Their next move was to celebrate
the Feast of the Passover, and n OF
the little children was to be sacrificed
as the pascal lamb" One of the
sons, a mere boy, told this to a clergy
man, who informed the police. On
visiting the farm, they fou<1 Rice and
his son Louis suffering from intense
mania, and had them removed to the
Kingston insane asylum. The doctors
say the other members of the family
will recover.

IT is interesting to notice how soon
a reduction of freight rates occurs af-
ter the grain has left the farmers
granaries and it is also interesting to
read of the raising of the grain rates
as soon as the new crop comes on the
market. After hearing few of J. J.
Hills speeches at immigration con-
ventions one becomes imbued with the
idea that railroads are run only for
the farmers convenience but their ac-
tions do not bear out the impression.

TUESDAYS Minneapolis Times CON
tanned an excellent article on patriot
ism. After treating the subject in the
abstract it spoke of American patriot
ism and told these truths: ''For more
than century this republic has dem
onstrated again and again the sublime
wisdom which abides with the whole
people. In our frequent wars the
world has been shown the courage
born of the peoples rule. In our social
growth mankind has been taught les
sons of tolerance by discovering people
of the most divergent and antagonistic
races living contentedly side by side,
forgetting the strife Of their ancetors,
and only striving as to who should be
the best and most ,law-abiding citizen.
In the spiritual field the United States
has been the first to prove that men
need not necessarily cut each others
throats merely because, in youth they
had been taught to worship different
types OF the. unseen God. This form of
human government, then, has been
shown to be the best thus far invented
upon the earth. It remains for the
people of the United States to see to it
that it is perpetuated. It must protect
the classes, but it must not be owned
by the classes. It must protect, up
hold and defend the masses the men
andwomen who work, and think, and
create, and build but it must do all
this through the strong and righteous
force Of law. z
