Insanity no Ground for Divorce.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, February 4.-The dict
um just laid down by Judge Freeman
in the superior court of this county to
the effect that insanity cannot be plead
as ground for divorce, either on the
part of man or wife. is said to be the
first judicial expression on this point
of the judicial his-ory of the country.
At least, no authorities have been
found where the court has been asked
to pass on the plea of non compos
mentis as ground for the annulment of
marriage relations. In the present
case IN which Frank Col ier. the
eccentric attorney, was plaintiff, the
question was raised but Indirectly and
the court appears to have gone out OF
it's way in laying down its law upon the
point. According to Judge Freeman's
point of view a woman whose husband
becomes ravine idiot beyond hope ,of
recovery is nevertheless tied to him
for life, while on the other hand, If
the same man, whether sane or crazy
commits a crime thai results in his be-
ing sent to the penitentiary, the wife
is thereby privileged to obtain q
divorce instauter. In England insan-
itv is recognized as ground for divorce
but according to Judge Freeman q
permanent mental affection is on the
same level as-an incurable physical
ailmen t.and;luna"y is therefore no more
legal cause for divorce. than is con-
sumption Orscancer.

Insanity is Increasino.

ALBANY. N. Y-Dr. P. M. Wise of
the state lunacy commission read be-
fore the State Medical society TODAY a
paper in which he says in effect that
insanity is increasing.
''At the present time," said Mr..
Wise, "when one of every two hundre l
of the population is insane, and the in
sane diathesis so permeats society that
we dare not estimate it's extent numer-
lca'ly, the schools dismiss the subject
IN almost a fippant manner"
He called the attention of physicians
to the dangers of na-cotism in the
early treatment of the insane, ard said
rbat the preservation OF household
quiet had resulted in disaster
He referred to the unfsvorable char
acter of cases now admitted, and said
that the expectancy of durability was
decreasing. The overworked, over
stimulated, overfed, immoral and mis-
guided are in greater excess than
formerly. Resistance ia weakening
through heredity, and the weapons O I
attack are increasing.
