MENDOCINO ASYLUM.
An Institution With a Commenda-
BILE Record.

The Board of Managers of State Hos
pitals yesterday submitted to the State
Commission in Lunacy it's report on
the Mendocino Asylum for the year
ending June Goth last.
The board found the condition of pa
tientS to be entirely satisfactory, not
only in the method of treatment pur-
sued, but also in the discipline and
good order which seemed to prevail
throughout the institution as the re-
suit of humane and efficient direction
on the part of the management
The board further found the per-
centage of discharges of patients by
reason of recovery and restoration to
reason to be very large; that the pa
tients are humanely and skillfully
treated, and that the conditions pre-
vailing at the hospital make it sub
serve the full purpose for which such
institutions are supported by the State.
The board also called attention 90
the fact that the danger from fire is
increased by reason of an inadequate
water supply, and recommends that a
perfected sewerage system also be put

PRosPERITY's TIDE.
It is Said to Have Followed and
Overtaken A. Abbott.

The San Francisco Wave" verif1es
the reports that have been received
lately of A. Abbott's good fortune in
Mexico. Two or three years ago he
went there in company with George
Beveridge, who had travelled all over
that country as a mining engineer ana
had a memorandum book filled with
notes of good things down there.
Beveridge induced Abbott to accom-
pany him to the land of the Monte
zumas, with the result that Abbott Sc
lected the Santa Rosalie mine for fu-
ture operations. He got John Daggett
and others to invest with him, and the
property turned out to be rich.
According to the Waves story, Abb
bott has disposed of most of his inter-
est in the mine for 100000, and has
engaged in a banking scheme i'll So
nora. 1t is said that the Sacramentan
has obtained from President DiaZ a
concession to organize national bank
for that State, with power TO
issue three dollars in currency for
every coin in his vaults. Such
a privilege affords Mr. Abbott a
great opportunity, and doubtless he
will become the magnate of that en-
Vironment

Sweating Experiences.

few nights ago.
Say, brothers, said the Chief Ran

You mean that one about the time
they upset the developer bath?' queried
one of the Past Chancellors.
Yes. but I've got a better one now.
1t was some time after the last-named

moment he ran across an ad in an
amateur photogra pliers journal, which
read something like this Photo

She patiently awaited her brother

he was greeted by his sister like this

FRANK R0BERTSOA'S DEATH.
EVIDENTLY THE RESULT OF A
SEVERE FALL.
A1s Skull Was Eractured-What
Was Shown by the
Autopsy.

Dr. F. NJ. Reith yesterday held an au-
topsy on the remains of Frank j. Roo-
ertson, who on Thursday night, was
FOUND in semi condition al
the foot of the stairway in the rear
part of l1S j street, and who diea on
FRIDAY morning.
The result of the autopsy showed
conclusively that death resulted from
neavy blow on the left side of the het.n,
which might have been received py
Robertson's falling down stairs, or 9TH
erwise
The autopsy disclosed a severe brulse
on the left side of the head, above and
back of the ear, and when the scalp
was removed it was found the Skull
was cracked from crown to the base,
the fracture extending down almost "a
the vertebral connection.
The blood had clotted, as result
of the blow, and covered nearly the
entire left lobe of the brain, and Or.
Reith expressed surprise that Robert
son had lived as long after receiving
the blow as he did.
The muscles directly covering that
part of the skull which sustained the
blow were of remarkable thickness, and
the doctor said ii was probably due to
that fact that DR.. cambridge, who at
tended Robertson, had failed to detect
the fracture, as the skull beneath the
muscles seemed to be firm under the
pressure of the fingers.
The autopsy further showed that the
left shoulder and side had been bruised
but the fact remained that death re-
suited from the blow on the head. 1t
was further learned that at the time Of
his death Robertson was afflicted with
cirrhosis of the liver, also with chronic
Inflammation of the kidneys and en-
largement of the heart, the aortic arte-
ry Of which had become thickened.
DR.. Reith said the injuries of the de-
ceased We're such as to lead to the be-
lief that he had received them by fall
ing down the stairs.
Coroner Clark has not yet set time
for holding the inquest.

A MUSICAL EVENT.
The Monday Evening Concert b.
Madame Bishops Company.

The generous praise accorded Mad
anne Genevra Johnstone-B Bishop the
past week by the San Francisco press
in connection with her appearance as
soprano soloist at the Oratorio Con-
certs in that city gives ample lndorse-
ment to those who a second time have
brought her from the East to take the
leading parts in the great annual music
festivities of the Pacific Coast.
The press Endorsement of her work
ON this occasion has been even stronger
as to her merit, and the effect produced
by her voice, than was given at her
last visit. and which must be very
pleasing and satisfying to this artist
of song.
The people of Sacramento will no
doubt greet her tomorrow evening
with a crowded house to hear her and
the members of her concert company.
who are also spoken of in most hatter-
ing terms wherever they have ap-
peared. The tenor, Mr.. Fellows, APP
pears to be an especial favorite with
music critics, and the pianist, Mrs.
Colby, is also strongly in evidence with
the press reporters.
Madame Bishop, however, is the GEN.
trail figure and leading attraction in
the concerts given by her company and
the Toronto Globe referring to her
recent appearance in that Canadian
metropolis. says:
The lady enjoys the reputation of be-
ing one of the finest sopranos in Amer
ica 1t is not too much to say that
she took the audience by storm. She
is a magnificent woman and her
charming personality and pleasing
presence straightway won the hearts
of the audience. Her voice is a strong.
flexible. brilliant soprano capable of
the most intense dramatic effects, as
we'll as the finest shading of tone, and
her warm, sympathetic temperament
was manifest in every number 1t Is
evident that last evening she was at
her best, and it is rare that we find an
artist and audience more en- rapport.
Mrs Bishop is sure of a welcome when
ever she comes to Toronto"
