Epileptics ut Sonyea.
The annual report Of the managers OF the
Craig colony for epileptics at Sonyca. Livings-
ton county. N. Y. shows that since the opening
OF the institution to patients in 1906. 40 cpl
leptics have been received there. 800 Of whom
remain. The colony is a state institution and
the report is made to the State Board l. Of Chari-
ties. The managers say that according to the
estimates of their Superintendent even after
the capacity OF the colony is increased
to 600 beds, there will remain in hos
pitfalls. almshouses and asylums. and in
the homes Of the INDECENT poor. 600 more vic
tins of epilepsy. The managers nre besieged
by friends and relatives of epileptics who wish
to secure the admittance of these sufferers.
They ask that the State further increase the
capacity and facilities Of the colony. and declare
that with the third year Of experience with the
scheme OF colonization they are more than
ever convinced OF its excellence as q method OF
caring for epileptics.
The scheme of the colony includes the segre-
cation Of the patients in small families. diver

Doings of n New Society Formed by Men,

NEW HAVEN. Dec. 1.-THE present interest
in debating at Yale is shown by the formation
OF a new debating society among the members
OF the junior class. The idea is essentially the
same as that OF the Sophomore Wigwam. which
was organized last spring. The new society
will be known as the Junior Wigwam and will
meet twice week. The idea OF the organiza-
ton is radically different from that OF the Yale
Union. which is q very formal and general
affair. Unlike the Union the new society will
not be opened Unfortunately to all members
Of the junior class. as It is intended to make
an election to the Wigwam an honor. The
membership has been limited to thirty men.
who include many Of the social lights OF tho
junior class.
The Wigwam's aim is partly social and partly
forensic. The Wigwam is divided into two
camps. each presided over by a leader known
as the Captain. These captains select the sub
jects for debate. The affirmative captain calls
