HAD PSYCHICAL PALSY.
Noted Hartford Doctor illustrated the
Case of Admiral SchleY.

New York, Feb. 21.-"Psychica1 palsy
was the title of a paper read before the
Medico-Legal society at the Waldorf
Astoria last night by DR.. T. D. Crow
theirs of Hartford.
This palsy, he explained, Is the state
of mind under which individuals labor
when they do thing, knowing it to be
wrong and irrational, but seemingly I'M
able to control themselves. The prin-
cipal illustration he cited was the con-
duct of Rear. Admiral Schley from May
% to few days later.
DR.. CrQwthers said that at that time
Rear Admiral Schley was culpable in
not obeying orders. Before that time
he was clear-headed and cool and did
the right thing. So, also, he was quick
witted and capable after that period
but in that period, according to Dr.
Crowthers, ''he seemed to be irresponsi-
BILE and incapable of doing what good
judgment demanded"
DR.. CroWtherS, who has thus dag

by the people and rewarded by the con-
gress of the United States, has been

After disposing of the rear admirals
case the society adopted a resolution
declaring that the question of sex of
the criminal convicted of homicide
should be eliminated from the consider
alton of the executive in the exercise Of
the pardOning power.
Clark Bell, who presided, pointed out
the depth of depravity to which women
go, and cited Lady Macbeth to show
that the murderous instinct was as
strong in woman as in man, and even
stronger in some cases. The law rec
ogniZed no sex in crime, and the gov
ernor had no right to, either.
Mrs. Ida Trafford Bell said Mrs
Martha Place was morally responsible
for the murder. she committed, and
should be held legally responsible. She
added that Mrs. Mack should have suf-
fered the death penalty as we'll as Mar
tin Thorn for the murder of Gulden-
suppe. Mrs. Bells remarks were ap-
plauded vigorously
DR.. J. Mount Bleyer said he didn't
believe in capital punishment but he
didn't believe that women should evade
just punishment for crime.

SALOON KEEPER FAILED
To Recover Dues Paid to the Order
That Expelled Him.

Hamilton, o., Feb. 21-Judge Neilan
has rendered a decision in the case of
Waldvogel VS.. the Grand Lodge A o.
U. w. of great interest to members of
this order throughout the United States
Plaintiff was member of Wilhelm
lodge of this city, and carried 81, 900 in
surance. Shortly after his joining WaId-
vogel entered the saloon business, which
is prohibited by the order, and at a
meeting of the local lodge was expelled
Waldvogel then sued to recover 5000. so
paid in by him as dues. Judge Neilan
held that when Waldvogel opened the
saloon he knew that he was violating
the conditions of his policy and that it
was liable to lapse, and that he had re-
ceived the benefits in proportion to the
amounts paid by him as dues through
the protection his beneficiary had re-
ceived up to the time of the canceila-
ton of the policy. The court thereupon
found for the defendants, and dismissed
the case at plaintiffs costs.

A "FUNNY MANS" JOKE.
Causes Swarm of Chorus Girls and
Freaks to Collect.

Chicago, Feb. 21.-Some practical
joker inserted an advertisement in a
newspaper today announcing that
chorus girls and specimens for a mu
scum of natural history were wanted
by John V. Kopf, 30 County building,
residence 1888 West Twelfth street.
Young ladies with thespic aspirations,
veteran chorus girls of the time of
Lydia Thompson, and men carrying
five-legged dogs. ossifed catfish and
other curios swarmed around the cor
ridors of the County building, and Mr.
Kopf, who is a bookkeeper in the coun-
ty comptroller's office, grew gradually
grayer and thinner as the hours went
on. When a delegation of girls from
two broken down road shows came in,
followed by a man with a three tailed
cat, Mr.. Kopf declared himself, and
hung out a sign to the effect that no
more attractions were wanted. The vic
tim said that it was his earnest belief
that the private secretary of the presi-
dent of the board of county commits
sioners had inserted the advertisement,
and then went home to find that 321
girls and boy with stuffed gazelle
had called while he was away.
