| PRESENT CAUSES OF INSANITY.
Freedom of thought in matters of reli-
gion has changed the character of the
delusions and Authorizations of the in
sane. Insanity keeps pace with the
changes in human development, and the
character of the delusions and halluci-
nations of the insane at any time Is a
reflex of the interests which are then
uppermost In mems minds. We now
seldom find the spiritual type of insani-
ty among the inmates Of hospitals for
the insane. AS doctrinal discussions
have ceased to interest the masses, the
ology has ceased to be a cause of insani-
ty. This Is an age of material develop
ment, of making things and having
things. Men are much concerned with
the problem of amasing treasure here;
that, with the long line of social ques-
tions which belong to it, is now UPPER
most in their minds and these material
problems are the ones pressing hardest
for solution. Hence 1t is that the pre-
vailing character of the delusions and
Authorizations of the insane are now Of
material type.
The struggle for existence, modern in
4 NeHtlOllS, Stedlii anu tieClIiCity, anu tHt
mad rush for wealth, result in ever in
creasing demands upon the brain and
nervous system. And under this strain,
many who have congenital or acquired
defective nervous organizations become
insane, just as the same class formerly
did as a result Of fear and brooding over
theological problems.
The insane are not now tormented by
the devil and his imps, but telephones
and monographs are continually ring
ing in their ears. Others suppose they
have steam engines in their heads, and
many imagine they are prosecuted by
men of large fortunes or of great politi-
cal power. Formerly'those who were af-
ficted with decisions Of grandeur We're
prone to imagine themselves to be the
Saviour Of the world or the Virgin Mary
or some eminent saint. Now they are
more apt to think themselves to be great
inventors or powerful politicians, or the
possessors of untold wealth. The delu-
sions Of the insane always take this form
and color from the questions and pro-
blems which are among the most abb
sorbing at the time.-Dr. John Fl. Grid
ner in the North American Review.

AlsorHER ADJOURNED NEARING.
Matter Before COMMITTEES ON
Ordinances Last Night

| ASHht NtG".
| The adjourned telephone hearing be-
| gan at $3.50 last night before the COM
mittee on ordinances, the attendance be-
| ing not quite SO large as at the previous
hearings. Morris f. Tyler, president of
! the Southern New England Telephone
company, who was speaking when the
hearing adjourned Thursday night, con-
| tinued his statement to the committee.
| He explained the development Of switch
| boards and said that the paraphernalia
was developing so rapidly that there
was constant expense in that direc-
| ton. He spoke of the automatic switch
| board such as the new company pro-
| poses to use and said that 1t had not
been found among standard authorities
that in exchanges of 5000 or less sub
scribers the multiple switchboard was
found to give the best service and
quickest service. Speaking Of other
machines exhibited by the Massachu-
sets company, he said that they were
not of such practical value as We're those
of the Bell company. He said that tele-
phone which can be heard all over a room
and which takes up every sound in a
room was not satisfactory. A telephone
Which NOuiu tame iii OlulIldIy TOME VI
voice was all that was wanted for a
commercial telephone 1t was not desir-
able to have telephone too sensitive.
He then spoke of the relations of the
Southern New England company with
the Bell company, making in substance
the same statements which he made be-
fore the committee on interpretations in
Hartford. He explained the conduit
system and showed to the committee a.
model of a section. of conduit. After he
had finished explaining to the commit
tee about conduits, Mr.. Wagner object
ed to any evidence or examination to
cause delay. He asserted that the OBJ
jectors to the petition were seeking to
gain delay. Mr.. Alling said that the
case should be properly presented
whether it was finished in time to be
acted upon by the present common
council or not. The question Of admiss-
ability of evidence was argued by coun-
sci for about half an hour, when Chair
man Dewell stated that the committee
thought that the testimony which Mr..
Tyler was offering was admissible. Mr..
Slade of the committee objected to this
ruling and the committee withdrew to
the ante-room to discuss the matter in
executive session. After being out
few minutes all the members of the
committee returned with the exception
of Mr.. Slade and Chairman Dewell stat
ed that the committee had decided that |
Mr.. Tyler's statement should be admit |
ted.
Mr. Wagner asked the committee to |
limit the time of the hearing and that 1t |
be finished next Thursday night. Mr.. |
Alling asked for more time. The COM |
mittee decided to go on Thursday night |
next and would wait until that time to |
see If more time was needed. The COM
mittee then adjourned.

An Important Statute.

An Important Statute.
Anderson Intelligencer: There is q
law on the statute books of South
Carolina which is very much dead
letter. This law was approved by
the governor on the 3rd day of March,
1899. 1t is entitled: IAN Act to
Prevent Drunkenness and Shooting
Upon the Highway" The provisions
of the law are very plain, simple and
easily understood: "That any person
who shall indulge in boisterous con-
duct while under the influence of in
toxicating liquors or feigning to be
under the influence of such liquors, or
without just cause or excuse shall dis.
charge any firearms while upon or
within fifty yards of any public road,
except upon his own premises, shall be
guilty of misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof shall pay fine OF
not more than one hundred dollars, or
be imprisoned for not more than thirty
days.

FROM UP In OHIO.
A Cedarville Farmer Tells About Crops and
Prices, and Sends His Best Wishes Down
orrespondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.

This Way.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
CEDARvILLE, Ohio, December H.
Having had about hundred interest
ing letters from York county through
THE ENQUIRER this year, and feeling
so much interest in matters down that
way, it occurs to me that maybe The
ENQUIRER's home readers, especially
the farmers, might care to hear some
thing from up this way.
Business generally is good and al
most everybody in our section seems
to be prospering, because prices are
good on almost everything except
hogs. Good hogs are worth only st
cents per pourd, corn is worth 27 cents
a bushel, wheat IS cents, and Timothy
hay from $40 to $12 ton. The price
of sheep ranges at 4 to AZ cents q
pound and of cattle from to 7 cents
Other farm products are bringing good
prices.
Corn was of good quality this year
but the yield was not so heavy as
usual, averaging in this neighborhood
only about so bushels to the acre
Usually the average is much higher.
This has been beautiful fall for
farm work and our farmers have been
making the most of it. But wheat is
not looking so well as usual. The fly
has nearly eaten it up.
There has been serious epidemic
of hog cholera in this section recently
the losses amounting to several thou
sand dollars.
presume that I am one of the
closest readers of the columns of THE
ENQUIRER, and from these columns
Judge that everybody in Yorkville and
York county is busy and happy. Even
Chief of Police Love appears to share
in the general activity with his raids
on the blind tigers, the product and
ou,growth of your dispensary law.
THE ENQUIRER struck key note
some time ago when it suggested the
advantage that would be derived from
a county fair. York county should
have such an institution by all means
It would be great educator for the
people.
Grist, tell Gonzales some more about
the Eastern question.

A REFLECTION ON THE JUDGE.-ln
an address before the Virginia State
Bar associotion, James P. Harrison, OF
the Danville bar, told this story of an
eminent judge in Virginia, who sat on
the bench with his feet up before him,
showing his soles to counsel and au-
dience:
"The defense had offered a little
Negro as a witness for their client,
and the commonwealth attorney
challenged the witness as too young to
testify.
"When the pickaninny had been
sworn on the Holy Evangelists, he
was asked by the commemorative at
torney what he had done.
"'I swoard," he said.
"sAnd what will happen to you now
if you tell lie,' the lawyer roared.
"'My nanny, she'll whip me-
"Is that all p insinuated the de.
fendant's attorney.
"sNo, sab. De debble, he'll get me. }
"And then the judge took his feet
down, and leaning over the bench with
menacing finger, said:
"sYes, and I'll get you too, sir!
"When, quick as flash, came the
boys ready reply:

As long as all the American garrison
of Guagua stayed in town, it was not
easy for the scheme to work. When
the troops moved out to attack Porac,
the time arrived to do the trick. A
rebel captain and lieutenant with six
soldiers, all disguised as "amigos," "

The New York World, of Monday,
has an interview with Senator William
P. Frye, president pro tenn, OF the
senate. In reply to the question why
it was necessary to take over the
sovereignty of the whole Philippine
archipelago, he said:
"Commercially they were Of the ut.

as they were at the very threshold OF the
Orient, with an importation last year
amounting to $1,000, 100000, with an
advancing civilization which will in a

ties, double it,"
"What do the Republicans propose
to do with the Philippines ?" he was
asked.
"First, restore peace there. Then
give them a good government, decent
wages, arouse in the people an ambi-
ton to become good citizens, supply
them with modern agricultural imple-
ments, construct railroads and high
ways, making access to the sea easy,
build school houses, supply teachers,
educate them so as to fit them for the
exercise of governmental functions,
then trust them with the control of
local and municipal affairs. Possibly,

TINE TO GIVE UP.-An Iowa judge
recently related an amusing incident
that had occurred in his court when
an old colored man was brought up
for some petty offence. The charge
was read, and as the statement "The
state of Iowa against John Jones"
was read in loud voice, the colored
mans eyes bulged nearly out of their
sockets, and he seemed overcome with
terror and establishment. When he
was asked if he had anything to say
or plead guilty or not guilty, he gasped
out:

"Possibly, when the time arrives, we
being the sole judges, might surrender
to them the sovereignty, reserv.

stations necessary for our naval and

personally concerned, 1 would never
surrender the sovereignty to any peo,
