SUPERINTENDENT HERT HERE.
He Gives Some Interesting Facts
About the Southern ReformatOry.

Supt. Tobias Hert, of the Southern Indi-
ana Reformatory, at Jeffersonvile, was at
the Denison last night in attendance, with
his wife. on the Governors reception. After
the reception Mr.. Hert was asked in regard
to the condition of affairs at the Reforma-
tory. He replied: $50 far as / know, ev-
erything is going as well as it possibly
could. We have discharged on parole over
four hundred inmates, and 81 per cent. of
them have proven to be satisfactory. They
are mostly leading honest and industrious
lives, and give every indication Of living in
the way they should. The 13 per cent. have
been returned because they had not the sta
bility TO keep in the paths of rectitude
Some OF them returned to their old vice of
drinking, and some few have been returned
on account of some crime.
And that reminds me that there is cry
ing need of a hospital for the insane crimi-
mails. There was a bill passed at the last
Legislature providing for the erection of
hospital of this sort. but because Of some ir-
Irregularities in the passage of the bill we
did not feel like taking advantage of it.
You see, the bill passed the House all right,
but when IL came to the Senate ii lacked
just three votes of passing, but somehow or
other the bill was certified up to the lieu
tenant governor, and finally went TO the
Governor, who signed it, and it became
law.
"Of course, it was the result of mis-
take, and we preferred to wait until the
next Legislature, when / think there will
be no trouble about getting it through. II
there were such a hospital as this. it would
benefit everybody concerned, especially the
insane criminal. As 1t Is, we are not
equipped for taking care of them, and they
simply have to lie locked VI, in a cell, when
they should be having medical treatment.
i have been told that there are more than
twenty-five of these insane criminals in the
State at the present time, and the time is
ripe for our hospital. 1t seems TO me that
ii would be much better policy to first
cure the prisoner Of his malady, and then
send him to some reformatory, than to in
-carcerate him in place where he can re-
ceive little or no benefit, not considering the
incalculable trouble he causes in his deten-
tion." Supt. Hert and his wife will leave
this morning for Michigan City.

years after the ravages which were checked BY
Julian, the valley OF the Moselle IL described
by Ausonius as n paradise which shows no
trace of the hand OF despoilers.
OF the same character were the great inva-
sions OF the opening years OF the NTH century.
A great army under RadagRsus, which, ac-
eordinR to the lowest estimate. numbered
100000 men. crossed the Alps and penetrated
into Etruria. That the Government regarded
the danger as serious may be inferred from the
fact that an edict called the slaves to arms.
Yet Stilicho. with q force of only 10000 reRu-
lar troops. and some Hun and Alan auxiliaries.
signally defeated that great host. and the pris-
oners taken were so many that they were sold
for q single aureus apiece. In the begin
ming OF the year 400. a horde OF Alans.
Suevi and Yandals crossed the Rhine.
from which the Rarrisons had been with
drawn to meet the dangers in Italy. The
invaders caused great CONSERVATION and I'M
questionably inflicted much damage and suf-
fering In their passage through Gaul. Within a
generation. however. the districts aud cities
which they are said to have plundered or de-
stroyed are foundto DO once more lourishinR.
1t lie also to be- noted that, in the fragment
tary annals OF the nth century. there Is no sign
that the Generals OF the empire apprehended
an irresistible superiority on the side Of the in
vaders. In 420 the city OF Aries was attacked
by n powerful force OF GothS. but they
we're compelled by Aetius to retire. with
heavy loss. Two years later the same
great General recovered the Rhine Land
from the Franks. In 1876 he inflicted a
crushing defeat on the BurRundians and
compelled them to sue for peace. In the fol-
lowing year Litorius, the Lieutenant Of Aetius.
by a rapid movement. relieved the town OF
Narbonne when It was hard pressed by famine
and the Gothic army. 1t is true that. soon
afterward. Litorius was taken captive by the
Goths. but the annalist expressly says that his
capture was the result o reckless ambition and
superstitious credulity. not Of any inferiority
OF force. The invasion by Attila in 451 was. in
respect to the numbers OF his motley hosts,
probably the most appalling danger which
the Romans had had to face for ages.
Aetius had only a handful OF troops
under his command. and. although he was
able to rally to his support Visigoths.
Franks. Burgundlans and saxons. yet the
credit Of defeating the fierce and crafty Hun.
who had reduced all Central Europe to vassal-
age. must be awarded to Roman daring and Or
ganization. Even In the last days OF the inde-
pendence Of Auvergne and OF the Roman En- |
pire in the West. q mere handful Of troops.

for months at bay. and the Romans
showed in this final struggle an almost con-
temptuous recklessness.

what was the state Of society In tho western
proslnces'of the Roman Empire at or about the
time oftheir s%ubjueation by Teutonic invaders :
Gufsot has undertaken to answer the question
sofar,as Gaul was concerned. and we have a
new survey OF the subject from a more compre-
hensfyei point OF view In the book entitled

Ebapfr6 by SAMUEL DILL MacmillansL Tho
work isSdivided into Ave parts. In which are
discussed. flrst. the tenacity OF paRanism (;

tho middle class fourthly. the character OF
thes'barbariAn invasions; aud. lastly. tho
conditions Of education and culture In
the western provinces OF the Roman En-
pire during the FIRST half Of the NTH century.
The beginning OF the period covered comedies
roughly with the passage OF the Gothic hordes
across the Danube. the accession OF Gratian
and Theodosius. the termination OF the long
truce between paGanism and the Christianized
empire and the reopening of the religious con-
fiet which. within twenty years. ended In the
6nAl prohibition of heather rites. The period
closes not only with the deposition OF the last
phadowy Emperor OF the West. but with the
practical extinction Of Roman lower in the
Hreatprefecturc of the Gauls. As regards the
Authorities upon which dependence is placed.
great stress Is naturally laid upon the eStant
letters of Symmachus and upon the writings
Of ,Claudian. of Ausonius and of Appolinaris ST.
donius. We shall ondeavor to indicate the value
Of this book by glanclng at certain especially
