how to pronounce correctly the names

take the states, for instance. There's
Arkansas, with as many calling it as

lllinoise; Pennsylvania is often Penn

we have Nebrahska, Montahna, and
others similar; there is also a pcculir
turn given to the last syllable of the
word by some Californians, so that in
stead Of California;, as generally spoken,
it is called Califor-ne-ya; you may hear
the same, though less distinctly enun-
ciated, in Virginia and Pennsylvania; /;
Iowa is a state of many pronunciations,
and we sometimes have it Iowa, Iowa
or Iowny, or Iowy.
among the cities it runs about the
same, and away down In Maine there
are those who do not put all the accent
on the last syllable of Bangor and some
have called Saco as II was spelled. Bos-
ton, of course, is Bawston, of Bahston,

est Baltimer, and Washington has many
to call it Washin'ton; so with Lexihg-

Chicahgo, Chicawgo and Chick-awgo,

often Indianapolis and Minneapolis

and also st. Louie, and It IS the same

the accent on the last syllable, but the
genuine New Orleanser never varies

and jurors. The preponderance OF tes-
timony in behalf Of his sanity was so
great that it required the jury but ten
minutes in which to bring in a verdict
declaring him to be sane, and the ter
animation Of the case was that Doney
was released and returned to live with
his daughters
Those who were instrumental in Sc
curing his committal were naturally
ayerse to seeing him released. The
daughters were credited with having
selfish designs, but we prefer to give
them the credit Of being actuated by
honest motives inspired by fear. The
physicians who examined him had no
earthly interest dn securing his com
initial, Ibut having once passed their
professional opinion upon his mental
state It would not be becoming in them
to reverse 1t because some neighbors
saw fit to disagree with them. Their
motives were honbst, but their pro-
fessional reputation was more or less
at stake in the controversy. and that
fact would naturally bias them in th,ir
judgment to a greater CT lesser degree.
Hence they might be expected to ad-
here tenacicusly to the judgment which
they had originally pron5unced.
But all this gave way at the hearing,
q Nr.. rf.A To-.
that the man had been unfairly incar-
cerated in a mad-house, promptly de-
clared its finding to thst effect, to the
discontinue Of both daughters and
physicians
While the verdict of the jury re-
stores Loney TO liberty, he has suffered
am injury from which he will never re-
cover BY the world at large he will
be regarded with suspicion and dis
trust, and many who formerly regarded
him fayorably or not at all will point
him out as a man who spent some
months in an asylum, and who was
only liberated by the most strenuous
efforts of his friends. But while
Loney will suffer, we believe that the
public viii benefit, for the case will re-
suit In more careful and exhaustive ex-
aminations being made of persons
who are deemed by some as fit sub
jects for the asylum. Physicians have
a very high regard for their profession-
al opinions, and do not like to have
them upset by anyone, and more par
ticularly, by jury in a court, where
public notoriety is coupled with private
discontinue. We cannot blame them
That is human nature But when Il
comes 20 the matter Of setting al
naught the opinion of a professional
man to restore to a patient his rights
and liberties there should be no ques
tlon in choosing, if the other eyidenc,
should seem to warrant 1t.
AS we said before, we do not bellev
that the physicians in this case wer.
0ctuated by any but the best motives
but they did not carry their investiga
tion of the patients condition IA
enough. They made the mistake OF sat
isfyng themselves without satisfying
the neighbors and associates Of tn
man whom they were called upon t
examine.
We feel confident that in future tn
physicians who are called in to exam
inc persons suspected of mental de
rangement will take good care tina
their examinations will be conducte
with such a degree of thoroughnes
as to preclude any possibility of pub
lie reversal of their finding.
