Committed to the Asylum.

Clarence Meek, well known young
man Of the Ferry Canyon neighborhood, /,
was arrested on charge Of insanity on
Thursday morning Of last week and after
a hearing in Justice Neale's court, was
committed TO the asylum for the insane
at Salem. Sheriff Wilcox and Herbert
Halstead left for Salem with the unfort-
unate young man in charge on the same
day.
Meek's insanity was not Of violent
type but rather seemed to be IN the ma
ture Of religious mania. He believed
himself to he the "Son OF Man, claim
ing that Clarence Meek had been trans
formed into that parsonage. During a
visit TO Portland, year or so ago, he
Joined the Salvation Army and since
that time religious iervor seems to have
grown on him TO such an extent as TO
unbalance bis mental faculties. II is to
be hoped that course Of proper treat
ment at the asylum will soon effect per-
manent cure.

WOMEN IN WALL STREET,
They Are Led Thither by Their
Intense Desire to Engage
In Speculation.

Many women seek a broader sphere
than art and home and fashion offer.
The vortex of speculation entices them,
and the bauble gold flashes before their
eyes. Their argument is that II men
accumulate fortunes in Wall street, a
woman Of equal intelligence should
succeed as well. These women are not
fast in the vulgar sense; they do not
belong TO the class that frequent the
race track. The majority of them have
no vices; their habits are no worse
than those Of the leaders Of fashion,
but they y born gumblens, like men
who spend their time in gaming places.
The necessary password for the GID
ed youth to enter a gambling house is
not essential for a woman desiring adj
mission to the gambling places Of Wall
street. Money is the magic wand she
wafes to insure her welcome. She en-.
tiers some fine Office a queen radiant
with gems, she leaves 1t a beggar.
Women who speculate insist that
they do not gamble, but only invest.
They argue from false premises. An
Investment implies something paid for
and held, like real estate, or bonds or
stocks locked up in a safe. The only
money-makers in Wall street OF either
sex represent this class Of investors
People who make money in stocks by
purchase on margins are gamblers, be.
cause they usually lose it.-Mrs. Finley
Anderson, In Frank Leslie's Popular
Monthly.

GAVE UP PERFUME FAD

piece Of blue denim on the other.
AS no one will ever see it, it makes
no difference as 10 its covering" she
thought, and then went and pinned the
thing on the back Of her sealskin coat.
The neUt day was Saturday, and
about noon she received a note from
her husband to the effect that II she
would hurry down he would take her
out TO lunch and then 10 the matinee.
Hurry She had not hurried for
weeks as she did then, and was down
two whole minutes ahead OF time.
Her husband nodded with a smile,
and they prepared to go out oncem more,
when he stopped with a little cry OF
amaLement.

you got on your back"
His wife turned white US her collar,
and then went red again, as she beheld,

CRIMINALS COST.
The Compulsory Guests of the Gov
srnment Are Expensive Per-
IONS to Keep.

We often hear that a person has lost
90 much money, that his house has
been entered, that he has lost a lot
Of silver, or that q bank has been
broken into and a great sum Of money
stolen, and for a moment that makes
an impression. Rut that 10 nothing;
those little losses 10 society are moth
ing at all compared TO what It costs to
keep these people employed In this way.
The real loss is one which you can per.
fectly well avoid, and It seems the
strangest thing in the world to me
that we are &c patient under this In
fiction. You read now and then that
such q person has been long watched,
but he is not apprehended. The re-
po7ters make a good deal out Of 1t and
the papers are full Of interesting &C.
counts Of such distinguished burglars
and sneak thieves.
The story Is Sensational. but the man
has been before the public perhaps
30 or 70 years, and II Is perfectly we'll
known, yet he is not apprehended. II
one Is ap%prehended, you know what
happens then. lie is arrested and II
you can find a Jury that has never
formed or expressed an opinion, and Is
incapable OF doing either, he may be
tried. The man Is defended by able
counsel. All the safeguards Of the law
are thrown about him. II he is convict
ed under the general laws he Is SEN
fenced for O certain term in the peni-
Tertiary, where he Is now, under our
humane system, very nicely taken care
OF, and after he has served three. or
four, or five, or six years, he gets his
release and goes out and goes into the
business again, and vi go through the
same rounds, paying the bills all the
while. You know perfectly well that
we could better afford to take all these
people, who are, as l say, limited in
number, and board them for life at
the Denison hotel at FIVE dollars a day,
and make money at Il. That would be
an economic stroke for us.-Charles

Mr.. Thomas Bisket, of Norwich, and
his guest, Chief Engineer Robert Bis

dog, which the latter brought north as

eight years old, weighs o. pounds, and
has a fine silky coat. When he left
Santiago the mercury stood at 1O4 de-
