THE MoRNING news: SATURDAY., july 2. ISIS

In ante-bellum times-which. as a mat
ter Of course. still refers to the period pre-
cedng the civil war-when the code duello
was the proper thing among gentlemen. it
was. regarded as unfair TO put fat man
TO fight a lean one on the field of honor.
The fat man naturally felt that undue
advantage was being taken of him in such
cases, because OF the fact that he pre-
scented large target, while his adversary
presented a small one It was suggested
as a means to the end of evening things
up between fat and lean duelhsts that an
outline figure the size of the smaller party
be chalked out on the person of the larger
and that all bullets which struck outside
of the chalk line should not be counted
1t seems that something of the kind is in
order in the case of our very much re-
spected commander of the Santiago expe-
dition 1t is not fair that attenuated
Spaniards should exchange shots with
Gen. Shafter upon even terms. The size
OF Skaters target is decidedly against
him.

The state Asylum.

The state asylum trustees have
made their annual report. They
think DIR. Page, the new superinten-
dent, has proved himself an economi-
cal manager because the per capita
cost of caring for the patients has in
creased only u cents week. They
argue the need of more appropriations
and more room because the Water
bury asylum was built to accommo-
date only $50 patients and there are
now over 700 in the two asylums Of
the state; an increase of 40 per cent
in the past eight years. They do not,
of course, pretend to say that this is
due to any such increase in the num-
Der of insane, but say the towns have
found how easy it is to turn these
mentally defective wards over to the
state to be cared for; an insane person
previously cared for in their homes
or the homes of friends, are in in
creasing numbers sent to the asylum.
