More Room for Insane Patients.

special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, Sept. DIR S. E.
Smith, medical superintendent of the East
ern Indiana Hospital for the Insane, will
ask the next Legislature to increase the ca
pacity Of the hospital. There are many in
sane in the district who cannot be admitted
for lack OF room, and DR.. Smith believes
the State should make provision for all the
insane. He thinks this could be done by
adding to the hospital buildings sufficiently
the deaths and discharges to make room for
new cases. The trouble, he says, is that the
State never anticipates in these matters,
but waits until there are patients sufficient
to fill hospital before building it. Dr.
Smith will formulate some plans for an adj.
dillon to the hospital before the Legisla-
ture meets.

The Youngest volunteer soldier.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Sept. a.
Probably the youngest volunteer in the
United States army is Job Norton, of this
city. Private Norton, of Company C, One
hundred-and-fifty-n Regiment. is the
son Of Capt. Joseph Norton, superintendent
Of the New Albany forge works. He is but
fifteen years old, but makes up in physique
what he lacks in years. The consent of
his parents was, of course, necessary to Sc
cure his enlistment. but as they were as
patriotic as their son this was readily given.
1t was a source of great disappointment to
Private Norton that he had no opportunity
Of seeing active service. He is said to be
on5 of the crack shots of the regiment.

September.

Here's a lyric for September.
Best of all months to remember:
Month when summer breezes tell
What has happened wood and dell.
OF the Joy the year has brought
And the changes she has wrought,
She has turned the verdure red:
In the blue sky overhead,
She the harvest moon has hung.
Like silver boat among
Shoals of stars-bright jewels set
In the earth's blue coronet;
She has brought the orchards fruit
To repay the robins flute
Which has gladdened half the year
With music. liquid clear;
And she makes the meadow grass
Catch the sunbeams as they pass,
Till the autumn's floor is rolled
With fragrant cloth of gold.
