Insanity is the horrible dream of
the night perpetually present during
the day. Insanity in women IS Oft
ener due to disease of the organs dis
tinctly feminine than to any otEey cause.
The insane asylun1s of the country are
full of women whose carelessness of their
health in this particular line has sem
fenced them to life that is less desirable
than death. The weakness or shock that
causes such insanity is frequently the re-
suit of childbirth. At the time when
woman's greatest usefulness should begin
she is taken away from her duties, and
from those she loves, and for months, or
years, or forever is shut away from them
by the bolts and bars of a hospital. Such
things are absolutely unnecessary. DIR.

pare women for the trying time of par

CAPITOL NEWS AND GOSSIP

President Cleveland is not over popular
OF Representatives. 1t is q rare thing in a
cloakroom gathering of three or four mem
bers that the Chief Executive is not roundly
scored for some past act.
Sometimeshe isabused for vctong pension
bills, sometimes for his Cuban policy; some
umesfor something else. Before the House
convened yesterday, there was some hot
talk kindulged in by Democratic henderson,
cerning the Presidents course toward the
imprisoned Americans in Cuhan prisons
Mr.. Cleveland was numerically abused and
finally one member attempted i'll a faint
hearted way to defend him. In brief this
interesting but lonely apologist said the
President was in measure justified in
his conservative" policy. Why" he
said, "a war with Spain would cost hun
sof milionSof dollars and would cripple
the business world
Continuing Mr.. Clevcland's friend said:
''Don 'tyou know that Mr.. Henry Clewes the
noted New York banker. said that the
Presidents Venezuelan message caused a
loss of $500 900 900
This Remark thought Western states
man to his feet. That's all rot" he
said. The business people proper lost
nothing. Only the gamblers i'll Wall stl eet
lost Il dime, and even then some other
gamblers won it. i am told that Cleye-
lands only reason for not showing
little hit OF American git and backbone in
this Cuban business is because his banker
friends in Wall street have told him that
it might disturb business. What kind Of
business? Gambling business, of course
Mr.. Cleveland cannot make any rea sonable
man believe that he is protecting the
business interests by not protecting cit
izens of his country now languishing in
loathsome Spanish prisons
Representative Walker, of Massachusetts,
chairman Of the Committee on Banking and
Currency, is not over ainiablc at times, as
many members who have crossed him nave
found out In debate he can hold his own
with almost anyone in the House. He is

TO make speech on his pet hobby-na-

given an hour to air his views. a fellow
