REPORTS ON The INSANE.
CARRERE COMPLETES A BATCH
OF FIGURES.
Interesting Facts Concerning Cali
fornia's Five Great
Asylums.

Secretary Carrere of the Lunacy
Commission has just finished complllnS
some wonderfully interesting Statlstlcs
concerning the number of insane pa
tients in the five public insane asylulns
that are supported and conducted py
the State. 1t appears from these hgures
that there were a few more than o'ooo
insane patients, or an average OF I,ooo
to each asylum, on June Both, Whlch
was the close of the fiscal year
I&is not unreasonable to suppose that
these figures will lead many persons
and newspapers Gn the East in partlcu-
lar) to exclaim, ooh, there are nVe
crazy people to every thousand in CAN
formal" and while the figures do snow
some such state of facts, there IS
deception in the figures when it comes
to using them as basis Of disparaging
comparison with other States that ap-
parently show a smaller proportion OF
insane people, Secretary Carrere eX-
plains this away in one sentence, tnus'
Other States send many of their in
sane to almshouses, County Hospitals
and county asylums. Ours all go to the
State institutions, and the total, COM
pared with totals in other state asy =
lums, appears too great.
1t appears from the figures that a
large percentage of the insane are for
eigners, the Irish predominating. The
following figures are of interest:
There were on June Both 5,00S in
mates in the five insane asylums of the
State, distributed as follows At
Stockton, 1857; at Napa, 1,466;
Southern California, $50; Agnews, 921;
MendOcino, All.
The number of inmates reported i'm
proved for the year are given as fol-
lows: Napa 81, Agnews As, Stockton
81, Mendocino Is, Southern California
/. Total 131.
The following figures show the ma
tivity of the patients more in detail.
Only the counties furnishing large
number of patients are given. In these
there is a predominance of irish ana
Germans, owing doubtless to the larger
percentage of people Of those nationali-
ties in the State:
At Stockton-Natives Of United
States: Males, 397; females, 226; total,
623. Foreign countries: Males, 63i

ALL A MISTAKE.
Mrs. Kennedy Found Her Money
After Ringing UP the Police.

Mrs. E. Kennedy, who lives at 1907
Fourth street, threw herself and the
police force into fine frenzy yester-
day morning, all because she imagined
she had been robbed of $40O which had
been placed in the pocket of an old
garment and hung away for safe keep
ing.
Workmen had been making repairs
at Mrs. Kennedy's house, and the
money which had been laid away in
the garment aforementioned, had got
juggled into another room.
Two urgent telephone calls were re-
ceived at the Police Station, and Off
Ger Fisher ran down a dog and worked
himself into a perspiration in answer
ing them. When he arrived at the
Kennedy residence, however, the
money had been found, and he advised
Mrs. Kennedy in SO many words to

BALLOT PAPER.
1t is Now Being Shipped for the
Election to County Clerks.

The ballot paper to be used in the
coming election is now being shipped
by Secretary of State Brown to the
various County Clerks of the State, and
1000 reams have already been sent,
although several counties have been
slow in making their acquisitions.
This is outside of that demanded in
San Francisco, which has sent in a de-
mand for only 4S0 reams as against
623 reams required in 1896. This is
because there are 10000 less voters reg
istered in that city than there We're
two years ago. The ballot paper for
San Francisco is larger in size than
that sent to other counties, on account
of the greater number of candidates on

Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1898-06-17
James W. Clagett.

On May 30th there passed away familiar
and honored citizen of Montgomery coun
ty, Mr.. James W. Clagett, who, in January
last, passed into his 10th year. Five days
before his death he was stricken with pa
ralysis, but was spared his speech and con
seriousness until within few hours OF the
end, which was peaceful in his childlike
trust and resignation to the will of the God
whom he had loyalty loved and faithfully
followed during the years of his health and
strength.
He was preceded to the grave eleven
months by his loving companion who fell
by the same disease and left him only long
enough to aid their three chiidren-all
daughters-in some business transactions
intended to lessen the cares and labors Of
those whom he expected very soon to leave.
His life during these months was Pc
culiar and mysterious blending of longing
to be with those in the spirit This only son
having died about ten years ago. and to be
with those left in the flesh, whom he loved
with the fullness of heart of a most indul-
gent parent.
Mr.. Clagett was a native of the neighbor-
hood OF Jamestown and at the time of his
death resident of that of Laytonsville, and
was widely and popularity known in the
county, lie sought not service ana prOml-
hence among the people through public
Office, but in the hearts of men he held the
highest OF honors and enjoyed that great
office of deserved respect, whose term was
for all time allotted to him here, and whose
recompense and reward he has gone to re-
ceive.
A host Of his friends gathered at his late
home on the LIST instant to offer their tribute
of respect to his memory, and then followed
his mortal remains to their last resting place
in the cemetery of the Jamestown Presby-
terrain church.
Thus closed the earthly career of one of
Gods noble sons, whose life was pure and
serene, whose death was blessed.
While sorrow fills the hearts of his de-
voted daughters, sympathy surrounds them
on every side, and the God of all grace sus.
tains them In this trying hour.
