CONTRACTOR PERRY CRAZY.
Judge Mogan Sends Him for Exami.
ination by the Insanity Com
nniSSiOnerS.

David r. Perry. the contractor, ap-
peared in Judge Mogan's court yesterday
morning TO answer the charges of dis
turbing the peace, exhibiting a deadly
weapon and malicious mischief. He was
represented by Attorney Archie Camp
bell.
When the cases were called Perry said
that Mayor Phelan had arranged to have
Colonel Preston to defend him and when
the Judge asked him why Colonel Preston
was not present he said that he and the
Mayor had come into court arm in arm,
but had left. as the Judge failed to sa-
lutte them. Then he accused a Justice of
the Peace of robbing him out of $1,000.
Attorney Campbell said he appeared for
Perry and as he was evidently crazy he
suggested that the Judge should send
him before the Insanity Commissioners
to be examined. The Judge consented and
Perry was taken to the insane ward in
the Receiving Hospital. Later he was
examined by the Commissioners and they
decided to watch developments for the
next two days. IT at that time Perry
is as bad as at present he will be sent to
TTkiah.

HOTEL NYMPH|A
CONDEMNED BY
ANGRY CITIZENS
Mass Meeting gof North
End Residents.
FIERY SPEECHES DELIVERED
MINISTERS OF MANY CREEDs
ON ONE PLATFORM.
Attorney Barrett Instructed to Prose
cute the Directors of the Institu-,
ton for Conducting
Nuisance.
MINISTERS OF MANY CREEDs
ON ONE PLATFORM.

Seldom If ever has an audience been ad-
dressed from one platform by ministers
of every denomination. This unusual sight
was witnessed last evening by the resi-
dents of North Beach who crowded WASH
ington-square Hall to voice their protests
against the Hotel Nymphia, now running
in their midst. The mass meeting proved
extremely interesting. the speeches OF the
leaders in the movement to remove the
evil being full of strong and condemna-
tory language.
In introducing Father Redihan Of the
italian church, the chairman, Rev. w. 5.
Urmy of the First Methodist Episcopal
Church. said: 1--WE are not here to offer
insults to the Supervisors, to charge any
wrong-doing on the part of the Police
Commissioners or any public official, but
we are here for the purpose Of protesting
in a gentlemanly and citiZen-like manner
against this terrible evil which has sprung
up in this fair section of the city.
That statement was the trend OF the
meeting and every speaker who addressed
the large audience had the thought con-
stantly before him. Father Redihan de-
nounced the evil and his words of protest
against it found responsive chord in the
hearts of his audience. Rev. Mardon D.
Wilson, an Episcopalian minister. fol-
lowed with an equally strong speech
against the hotel. John j. Barrett, the
attorney for the leaders of the movement,
presented the legal aspects of the case.
His speech was full of fire and eloquence
and his audience were kept continuously
applauding him. He stated that the
Twinkling Star Company got their incor-
poration papers by Misrepresentation and
in passing said "it is our business to see
that the star does not twinkle" He told
of the work of the committee before the
Board of Supervisors and of it's partial
success He said the Police Department
was with the residents of the North
Beach district to suppress the Nymphia
and said within the week the committee
would have the men who compose the
Ny1nphia Company arrested and brought
to the Police Courts for trial for conduct
ing a nuisance and on other legal grounds.
Rev. DR.. Slocum Of the Green-street

GERMANY AND ENGLAND.

Thcrc is much speculation a. Co ,hc
political fiEnihcation OF the visit of
Emperor william 60 Queen Victoria. In
Germany there eccma to be- tendency
10 regard u merely ~ ,ho discharge of
q pleasant duty u a grandson TO his
grandmother. but In Great Britain an
other Wow u taken. ana probably with
good ground. Germany II bent on
colonial expansion. and her ruler cam
not fail 60 appreciate tn" value OF the
friendship 81 Great Britain In any fu-
turo enterprise In that line.
There H. no new departure In this
policy. Germans and EnRilshmen have
before this fought side by side In many
battle. The imperial houeeE have
lntcrmarricd.and there has always been
a feeling Of klnshlp cultivated between
the two nations. Even the periodically
recurring grumbllnss have been more
la the nature Of family dispu,es than
outbreaks Of hostllltlcs.
Perhaps the Iiofiincr Ncucatc Mach
richtcn gives tho clue TO the policy Of
the German government. I, points out
that tho GERMAN friends Of the Trans.
yani Beers can only hope that Germany
win r,main IN a position Go give her
support e. an Intervention ~ soon 40
the suitable moment comes for some
power 10 take the Initiative. But this
viii only he possible. " Germany docs
not put England into bad humor" The
voice " the German Emperor Will b.
heard In Great Britain. " he speaks
a. a friendly sovereign. and not as .
ruler distrusted by that country.
That paper further points out tina, In
tho Amcrican-spanish conflict German
sympathy was at the outs't pronounced
Tor spain. But the result Of this was
| that the country came within hairs
breadth OF war with the United statcr.
| The lesson Of this has not been lost
upon tho German people. In other
words, n Germany Intends rendering
the Transvaai any real scrvico.shc mus,
cultivate a friendly feeling toward Great
Britain.
This may. or may not be the MOTIVE
u the German emperor. Hut whatever
II II. II Il certain that an entente be-
tween the greatest naval power In
Europe and the strongest military pow
cr. backed up by the most powerful
Republic In the western hemisphere
would create an entirely new situation
In the world. Such % combination
would b. the beginning " u now and
important chapter In the history OF the
human family. Those powers would
dominate the world. and being The
standard bearers Of Hight ana clviliza'
tion. their dominion should be for ih'

II win be observed that the number

The different character Of the cam
palen In Cuba and In Luzon Is sum
ciantly Indicated In the figures given.
During the brief contest In Cuba near

although the army engaged there did
not exceed 1900 men. The Cuban ell
mate seems also to have been more try
ing TO our troops than that In the Phil
ipplncs. for the total deaths Of disease
In cuba are given as s62. while those In
Luyon were only 315.
In the United states the deaths In the
army from disease In the same period
orc rather startling The total number
is given a. 5.Se9. or p0s among the regu-
lars and 2s2s among the volunteers u
all ranks. Here. too, the death rate
wns considerably larger among the
volunteers. proving conciusively that
the sudden change from civil life to tho
hardahipa of military service cannot be
made without the fncfincc Of life.

Lord Rosebcrry takes philosophical

He ia quoted as having admitted the
seriousness Of the undertaking In which
