Gov. TUMBLE vetoed the Adams Tax
Bill Wednesday, and sent it back 10 the
Legislature with his reasons for SO doing.
His reasons are first, because the shares
OF stock i'll building and loan associations
are subjected to taxation, although tho in
vestments Of such companie, are made ex-
empt. Such Il tax would be like adding
dues on thrift.
His second reason Il because another Of
the amendments conters the power to re-
move assessors by the Levy Court. He
points out the fact that assessors arc pub.
lie officers, holding office through the will
OF tie people; and that tho Constitution
defines the only modes of dives,ing such
officers OF their authority, through the
province Of the Levy Court Third, be-
cause yet another of the amendments
makes failure to pay the tax within
year OF the assessment a misdemeanor
punishable by fine, and in default Of the
payment of the fine, of Imprisonment.
The Governor thinks such rigorous penal.
ties entirely unnecessary and for these
thiSO, lSuoN'ho OuC iAuulllS IdA Dlll received
his veto
This bill has had hard road to travel,
and although passed over year ago by
the Legislature, has thus far boon dead
letter.

City Council has at last broken its long
deadlock and filled the various positions
in the city government it was called upon
to I'LL, the vacancies, in several instances,
having existed for over year. Tho break.
ing OF the deadlock is good thing in one
way. as it is,somewhat discroditabie to soc
the majority of body unable to perform
the functions conferred upon it by the
people, but as far as tho public service of
the city Is concerned, 1t would have been
as well had the deadlock continued Jude
flnitely. Few Of the changes effected by
Council last night can be considered as OF
any real benefit TO the service, and 1t will
be fortunate If some DO not prove uetrl-
ment"

ASYLUMS FOR INSANE.
The Sacred Temples of Egypt Were
the First Known 10 History.

The Sacred Temples of Egypt Were
the First Known 10 History.
The first retreats for the insane men
toned in history were the sacred tenn
pies of Egypt, where the highest devel-
opment of moral treatment was prac-
ticcd for the restoration of reason. One
of the earliest notices uf the establish
ment of an asylum for the insane is in
the life OF st. TheodoSius, who was born
in the year 423, and died in 500. He es-
tablished near Bethlehem, q monastery,
to which were annexed three infirm-
nries-one for the sick. ore for the
aged and feeble and the other for such
rs had lost their senscs-in which all
succors, spiritual and temporal, were
afforded with admirable order, care and
affection. In medieval Christian
times conventual establishments We're
used for similar purposes, but with
these exceptions there were 10 organ
iZed asylums for the insane until the
founding of Bethlehem hospital. This,
the oldest lunatic asylum in the world.
with the doubtful exception of one Mt
Granada, was originally founded in 1247
as n priory in BishopsGate, its mother
church being st. Mary's of Bethlehem
Tor Redeem in Wyclif's spelling). It'll
spoken of as hospital for lunatics in
1472. and as such it was granted at the
dissolution to the mayor and citizens OF
London, being incorporated as royal
foundation in 1547.

THE STINeIEsT MAN.
How the Mean Mnn Managed to Savs
His Money.

His Money.
"Yes, he was a mean man." said
visitor to a st. Louis host the other
day, according to the Sunday Republic.
''How? Tell me about it." questioned
the host.
well, this man speak of was the
champion stingy man of our country.
He kept 4 good-sized wooden ring in his
pocket, and when he went to the store
to buy eggs he would try every one of
those eggs in the ring. If they were
small enough to go through the ring he
would not take them. He bought moth
ing but large eggs, you see. He believed
in getting everything possible for his
money"
81 never heard of such a thing"
CALCULATED the St. Louis man.
"Of course you didn't" said the Wis
itor. Nobody else ever heard of such
meanness. Why, he used 10 give his
children nickel apiece to go to bed
without their suppers. The next morn
ing he would charge them a nickel
apiece for their breakfasts Saving
game, wasn't it?"
"Say, that's fish story!" shouted the
st. Louis man, Indignantly.

aUANcE OF Tl4G STARVING" /"
an Odd Event Auorw the Poor of
Hungary.

hungary.
a striking article on the agricultural
condition in Hungary has just been
published in the Neucs Wiener journal,
under the title OF The Dance of the
Starving" From this it appears that
the peasants of the AlfocId plain have
recently organized auumb Der of popular
balls, which have been attended by
thousands. This does not imply that
the people are particularly happy or
prosperous. On the contrary, owing
to the strike OF last summer and the
bad harvest, their condition is one of
great need. The dances are the result
of the bill passed IN the hungarian
reichstng for regulating the relations
between land owners and their labor
crs. That bill is regarded as eXcep-
tionally hostile to the latter, For the
laborcrs. however, liberty of speech and
Of public meeting is so restricted as to
render all gatherings for political pur-
poses practically impossible. Hence
this stratagem Of popular balls. 1t is
pointed out that the accounts of these
peasant dancing parties are accom-
panied by the news of acts of pillage
and n strike against taxes, which have
rendered necessary the Intervention Of
the military. The present movement is
II direct consequence of the harvest
strike of last summer, and of the meas
urcs adopted by the government to pre-
vent its recurrence. The obnoxious
bill, according to the Neues Wiener
Journal, delivers up the laborer to the
arbitrary discretion cf his employer,
emitting the latter to put an end to
the agreement he has entered into, and
to withhold the wages he has agreed to
pay il the laborcr should, in his opin-
ion, be socialist ngitator. If the Ia
borer, however should fail to appear
Mt the time and place appointed. the
employer is empowered to call upon
the authorities to force him to carry
out his contract. Tho laborcr has no
legal remedy against this proceeding,
while the employer is assured of the
cooperation of the authorities in the
event of strike. Such injustice as
this, rs the writer remarks. might con-
vert strike very easily into rebel
lion

of whom are dependent on others for
their support. DR.. Arthur Bennett ad-

We rise to ask for information, an
nounces Nebraska writer. Does the
memory of man extend back far
enough TO remember ever seeing
woman with frosted ears? We have
reached the slope on the other side of
life, but n woman with frostbitten
ear we have seen not. The architects
of woman's headgcar never build them
with any thought of warmth, and the
!brevity of them prccludes taking in
the ears unless they are extremely
long, and no matter how cold the
weather, almost every lady you see on
the street will face the most biting
wind, while her ears look like danger
signal on either side of her head. The
only way we can account for the phe-
pomena is the wonderful warm heart
each one of these dear creatures carries
in her bosom. They are styled the
weaker sex, but for real fortitude to
stand pain, suffering and cold they can
put to shame the bravest lord of crea-
tion" on earth.
