BY / o'clock it had subsidized a little and
people began to come forth. Scared faces
peered from ~roofless houses and from
crouched under stone porticoes crawled
rounded people whose homes had been
torn down. 1t was an awful sight.
Against the big stone church laid a man,
his face toward he casing. When we
lifted him up his face was battered to a
jelly, though his heart still beat. There
could be no identification for him. not SO
much as an inch of skin to tell his color.
He had been swept with the rest down
the Wind-sWept streets and had been
thrown by the hurricane against the

storm.

child was perishing. No one tool a drink.
We moistened the children's mouths and
gave them a bite of apple and carefully
kept from them all sweets or such foods
as would provoke thirst. They begged
for the preserved fruits which stood upon
the shelves, for their liquid contents ag-

DETECTIVE INSTINCT.

Soc few days ago the proprietor of a
wine shop in the Calea Dorobautzilor,
one of the most popular of Bucharests
streets. was foully murdered and robbed
by some person, who broke into his
dwelling, which stands behind the shop,
and shot him through the head.
In spite Of the efforts of the police the
murdered had remained undiscovered, al
though several individuals were arrested
on suspicion.
was sleeping on a bench in the shop, and
a dog was lying at his feet. The boy
stated that he heard the shot md snort
" after, as he lay quaklng with tear, a
man opened the bac door and entered
the shop. At that moment the dog sprang
IN barking, and the man. who 10 doubt
expected to find no one in the shop and
| meant to rob it, fed out at the door, fol-
| lowed by the barking dog. Since then
| the dog has not been seen, although
searched for on every side. Yesterday it
| came back alone.
As soon as it arrived Police Inspector
| Mischimescu, who has the case in hand,
! bethought himself of a means Of decid-
ing as to whether he had the real MUIR
! derer in his hands. Accordingly he had
the shop arranged just as it was on the
fatal night, closed all the shutters and
doors, and then bade the shop boy lie
| down with the dog.
Then one by one the "suspects' were
ordered to enter the shop. Three went in
and came out again without the dog
making any sign. but as the fourth, a
man of the name of Dracu, entered, the
dog leaped at him, barking and snarling.
and the man rushed out at the door, still
ollowed by the enraged hound.
Enough remarked the inspector, as
he drove off the dog detective and or
dered the attendant gensdarmes to hand-
cuff Dracu.
II NAV be added that until being
"picked out" by the dog this man was the
least suspected among those arrested, ne
being quite a friend of the proprietors

Upwards of $50 soldiers of the war
with Spain have been sent to St. Eliza
beth's. The doctors and nurses say
that nearly all of them are young men
suffering from melancholia and de-
mentia. Without exception, they have
been averse to eating, all of them be-
ing suspicious of their food, and eat
ing only when required to do so with
gentle persuasion. The course of
treatment has been principally the adj
ministering of tonics, by trained nurses
who have shown kindness, tenderness
and womanly solicitude for their health.
Those who have been induced to par
take literally of food, such as milk and
cereals, have gradually recovered, and
one-third of them have been dismissed
as permanently cured. About so of them
are now regarded as incurable. Their
melancholia continues, and they eat
only when constrained to do so. Con-
sequently their physical vigor is de-
pleted and they are slowly wasting
away.
Although the number of inmates of
St. Elizabeth's increases, the congress
has made no increase in the annual ap-
preparation for their support, main
tenance and treatment. It is pre-
sumed by the congress that 1,4oo pa
tents will have $3.50 each per year de-

as there are now almost 1000 inmates of
the asylum, it will be seen that the
actual amount per capita must be
less than 5000, which is clearly made.
quate.
The names of the soldier and sailop
insane will never be known to the gen.
eral public. Those who are cured may
go to their homes and resume their
avocations, and their relatives and
friends will never know that they have
been in an asylum. The hospital roll
is carefully kept from scrutiny, because
those who have been temporarily in
sane do not wapt that fact known; and
besides it is to their advantage to have
the fact kept secret, because it is often
difficult for one to secure employment
If it becomes known that his mental bal
ance has ever been lost, even temperate
~. Moreover, in the most hopeful
cases, where the attending physicians
see that patient is about to be re-
stored to the complete possession of
his faculties, such a patient is trans
ferred to some other hospital, and often
returns to home and friends without
himself knowing that he has been in
sane. The lapse of time is accounted
for by telling the patient that he has
been feverish and deirious. Physicians
say that this is merciful deceit, saw
ing many a young man the mortifca-
ton of knowledge of his past deficien-
cy, and also saving him from the con-
slant apprehension which might again
bring on the mental disease. ~
Because of the fact that so many of
the soldier heroes have suffered not
only with temporary alteration of
mind, but also by contact with the vile
and vicious, it was said at the begin
ming of this letter that to rest beneath
the sod is better than to live and suf-
fer. The soldier dead who rest at Ar
ington have done with their suffer-
ings and privations for their country's
sake. The soldiers living at St. Eliza
beth's have yet before them many days
of sorrow, and possibly may spend
their entire remaining days in the
shadow and cloud of insanity, with
accompanying disease, and ultimately
end their days within the four walls
of the haven of mercy which is to them
prison. SMITH D. FRY.

Upon the eastern bank of the Poto-
mac river is the hospital for the insane,
called St. Elizabeth's. On the western
bank of the Potomac is Arlington Ma
tional cemetery. In the hospital hui
man beings live, all of them suffering
with mental disorders, and many of
them suffering continual physical
pain. In the cemetery upwards of TO-
900 soldiers are buried, resting peace

St. Elizabeth's hospital for the in
sane is visible for many miles up and
down the Potomac. Travellers on in
coming and outgoing steamers view it
with their magnifying glasses, and
learn from guides the history of the
institution. Externally it appears to
be very attractive place. The build
lngs are of brown stone, similar to the
material used in the construction of the
Smithsonian institution. Stone walls
~ feet high surround the vast acreage,
so that escape is practically impossible.
The hills on either bank of the Po-
tomac river, near it's head waters, are
high enough to be almost called noun
tains; and their undulations with val
leys and foothills produce picturesque
effects which are comparable only with
the beauties of the natural scenery
along the Mississippi river, from Prairie
,du Chen to Minneapolis. By the way,
just as the falls of St. Anthony mark
the end of navigation of the MISSISSIPPI
pi river, so the great falls mark the end
of navigation of the Potomac river.
The falls which furnish so much valu-
able power to Minneapolis are rivaled
by the falls of the Potomac, yet I'M
