Rev. G.. A. Doyle Guilty OF Many
Things.

Things.
In reference to the presence in
Clarksburg and this city of the two
Virginia divines, who are collecting
evidence of the rnisdoings OF Rev.
|G. a. Doyle, the Clarksburg News
says:
"It will be remembered that last
spring Doyle quit the ministry on
account or "bad health" to devote
his time and energy to the insurance
business. Before he quit the pull
pit, however, for some time he had
been experimenting with his new
calling and found it much less
laborious and much more profitable
than the old one.
Sometime about last Christmas
he insured a man in this town, took
his monev and gave him some pa
pers. The gentleman had such i'm
plicit confidence in Doyle that he
took it for granted that the docu.
ments were all right and never ex-
amined them. One day.a proml
nent insurance man chanced to ex'
anime them and at once showed
wherein they were fraudulent and
spurious. After bluffing the peo-
pie of Parkersburg in high handed
manner, he sojourned to the gay
little city of GAINESVILLE, where he
scored his biggest touch down on
the gridiron OF sin and infamy. He
worked the secret order racket to
perfection, joining the Elks and
insuring its members for big
amounts. He rented one of the
finest houses in the city and lived
lin great style and magnifcence.
He robbed every man who came
within the clutch of his soft Italian
hand. Happily most of his victims
were of the upper ten. Doyle was
one of the most adept and subtle of
men. He was affable, adaptative,
and in vulgar parlance he would be
called "slick article.' On her dy-
ing bed he insured a widow for
81 900, making her believe he
would by trick and subterfuge make
his company pay it. He took the
5000 premium and never forwarded
the policy. 1t has also developed
that the insurance company he
claimed to represent had no license
in the state Of Ohio. When the Of
fcer informed him of this fact he
feigned great surprise, but never
theless took the precaution to
leave. He bought ticket to Par
kersburg for a decoy and then
went the other direction. Since he
left it has developed that he was
one of the most colossal scoundrels
that ever wore the livery of Christ
to conceal his crimes. Not only
did he make it his business to film
fam and rob, but he was an affluent
patron Of gambling hells, bucket
shops and houses of ofinfamy.-Sta

The Queen Regent of Spain is
a woman of the strictest morality,
and of many noble and womanly
qualities. She has never attended a
bull fight, and declared them cruel
and barbarous. No wonder she has
never been popular with the Span
iards.

INSANITY EPIDEMIC.
Many Deranged Intellects 70
Tyler County.
SIX INSANE PERSONS
SIX INSANE
Confined Within the Past Sir
Months.

While the fact Of increasing IN
sanity may have no alarming s.gnlf-
icance, yet those Of our people who
are not certain as to TIE stability
of their mental furnishings are GER
tainly warranted in feeling con-
cerned over the unusual percentage
of insanity cases brought to light
in Tyler county during the past six
months.
Six poor crazed creatures, large
1y of the feminine persuasion, have
been placed in our state hospitals
for the insane in this brief time aud
if credence be given to current ru-
mors this total would be tripled or
quadrupled If the unfortunate ones
were not being privaEsfy' treated
and the public kept in ignorance
of their unsound mental status.
There is certainly a no more
pitable sight than that Of a human
being in the terrible chaotic con-
dition of insanity. Only a person
of morbid sensibilities can witness
such a sight without feeling the
deepest compassion for the one be-
reft of reason.
Yesterday afternoon two insane
women were brought to the city,
and their cases represented the two
extremes Of mental delirium. One
of the duo, Mrs. Sarah ]. Stevens,
of Alva, was violent and unman-
ageable. She alternated between
rawlings and mutterings of the most
incoherent character and discon-
nected songs having a serin-relig-
ious cast. This unfortunate, it was
said, had become insane through
the infelicitySof welded life. For
several weeks she has been con6n-
ed in the Middlebourne Jail awaiting
the arrangements for her admission
in the Weston institution. This
asylum has had its full capacity
taxed for some time.
The other patient was Miss Min
ME Hickman, whose home is two
miles out of the city on Cow House
run. She is a pale-faced little
woman, docile and gentle in her
manner and her unsettled mental
condition has been superinduced
by an aggravated nervous disorder.
She was taken before. Justice
Henderson, who made out the
commitment papers.
The two women were in the
keeping of Miss Flora Kearns, who
is connected with the institution
and who possesses in a high degree
the quality of control so essential to
the performance of the delicate
duties of her position.
The party left on the six o'clock
train for Parkersburg.

He had been sick of typhoid
fever for only a short time. Not

reinforcement from this source. Mean
while there is means of defence from
greater physical calamity which no one
afflicted with nervousness or dyspepsia
should neglect, and that is the use of
HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, which by
restoring the tome of the nerves and
stomach invig0rates the entire system.
