shows that at the commence
ment of the term 398 patients
were remaining in the hospi-
tai, 100 of which were males
and 208 females. During the
past two years there have
been received 81 patients,
2O4 being males and 167 fe-
males. This makes a total
of 769 inmates that have been
treated in two years.
During the same period
1876 patients were discharged,
81 recovered, 119 improved,
10 were unimproved, and SO
died.
The Superintendent offers
the suggestion that the Leg
islature make an appropria-
ton to build a large work
shop, so that certain patients
unfit for outside employment
may be employed in the man
ufacture of such articles as
brooms, scrub brushes and
even furniture.
The Superintendent makes
mention of how the monoto-
ny of the evenings are reliev-
ee by the regular weekly
balls and occasional enter
tainm ents, and also by games
in the bowling alley. He
says the hospital orchestra
has been improved and good
music is enjoyed.
The health of the institu-
ton, so the Superintendent
says, compares favorably with
other years. A small cpl
demic of fever invaded the
hospital, but none Of the ca
SEES are proving fatal.
The report shows that in
the special improvements a
new 4O=horse power boiler
has been put in, greatly i'm
proving the water works.
The interior Of the colored
asylum has been completed
and the main buildings have
been reprinted.
In the general improve
ments a number of out build
ings have been erected, and
the orchard extended.
Superintendent douglas
makes mention of the death
of Chairman j. W. Wilkes,
and speaks feelingly of his
high character, always dis
played in his long term of Of
fee. He speaks of his devo=
ton during life to his friends
and family and his kindness
to the poor.
The colored asylum, the
Superintendent states, was
opened under the instructions
of the last Legislature, in
June, 1897, with about 100
patients, which number has
been evenly maintained the
greater part of the time since
the opening. The report of
the Treasurer shows the fol-
lowing receipts: From State
Treasurer Craig, $137,~
S33. IA; from county patients,
81 ,969. 80; from pay patients,
ST OFT 80; from articles sold
by steward $799. 80; amt. due

Total, $154 ,O24.10. The to-
tai disbursements were $144,-

Bird Destruction.

Through the middle states and in some
parts of the south, misohievous trade is
carried on during the winter and the early
spring. 1t is the slaughter of insect-de-
stroying birds, to be sold as "reedbirds"
in the city markets. "Reedbird on toast"
is a favorite dish with the epicures but the
epcures seldom get the "reedbirds" they
order.
Authorities at Washington declare that
hundreds of thousands of robins, blue
birds, ceo ar birds, shore larks and other
insect eating birds are killed for this pur-
pose every year. A single dealer in
Washington received 5000 robins in one
shipment from North Carolina, and sold
them all as reedbirds.
Not only is the ira fife reprehensible as
a commercial fraud, but it is direct and
very grave injury to farmers, whose fruit
trees, shrubs and crops would be seriously
injured, and in some cases ruined, if in
sectvorous birds were exterminated.
Through the work of the men of science
in the governments at Washington, our
farmers are learning the value of insect
destroying birds to their fields and gar
dens. They are, therefore, neglectful of
their own interests if they do not protest
against this cruel and ruinous traffic, not
only in the name of humanity, but because
of the imperative needs of agriculture -

Literary Notes.

The authorship of the Buckingham
Letters, which has been running anOny-
lnously as a serial in The Living Age
since the first of January, is now dis
closed. The letters are the joint work
of Mrs. Fuller Maitland and Sir Fred
erck Pollock, a combination which goes
far to account for their range and clever
ness. The publication in The Living
Age Is by a special arrangement with
the authors. The Letters will soon be
published in book form.
Mr.. Clifton johnson contributes to the
New England Magazine for May an in-
teresting paper entitled "Work and
Workers in Rural England" depicting
life smeng the farm hands in the Eng
fish country districts. Despite its SEEM
ing picturesqueness, the reader realizes
what life of monotonous drudgery this
becomes when the laborer Is barely able
TO supply his simple wants by his long
days of toll. The author, having made
this class Of people a special object OF
study, relates many incidents charac-
terstic of their simple mode of life,
illustrating his text with several artistic
photographs.
The last art exhibition Is now being
held In the old building of the Academy
of Design, New York. 1t is the spring
exhibition of oil paintings, and In the
current issue Of Harper's Bazaar, Mr..
Charles II. Csffin, in an article profusely
illustrated, describes the pictures. In
the same article, Mr.. Caffin enters into
the history of the old Academy Of De-
sign, telling of its purpose, of the many
famous exhibitions held within its walls,
met there year after year. In the same
number OF the Bazaar Colonel Thomas
w. Higginson writes of 1.-THE English
Gentleman"

On the sweet refuge OF her Saviour's breast,
And far from sorrow, toll and weeping,
She is not dead, she only taketh rest.

they find consolation In the faith which
SO beautifully adorned the life of our
sister, and which helped her to bear
with forttude the hours Of pain she so
patiently endured, and to feel that in
that better land she will welcome US all
with the hand of fraternal love to that
land of promise, rest and safety.
Res0iued, That our charter be draped

tions, copy be sent to the bereaved

In MemOrian.

As near friend aud one who knew
the late lamented Mrs. Folsom, | feel it
but just to pay tribute to her memory
The deeeased's maiden name was Emily
Pratt and she was born in Skowhegan,
Maine, February 2, 1929, her death taking
place April 10th Of this month. She
grew to womanhood in her native city
and May 20, 1S49, married Chas. b. Fol
som. In her home she combined every
virtue that goes towards making true
woman. IN early life she joined the
Baptist church of which her parents
were members, and was always con-
sistent In her life. In 1879 Mr.. and Mrs.
Folsom came to Colorado Springs and
two years later to Durango, where they
have resided continuously. The deceased
was In feeble health greater part of
the time, but she never complained OF
her lot. She was cheerful and happy
and it is probable that 10 couple ever
lived that enjoyed each others company
more than did Mr.. and Mrs. Folsom.
They were one and all to each other and
never word fell from their lips that
brought forth pain. A night or two be-
fore she died Mrs. Folsom said II ought
to be thankful for wing been rs we'll
as | have" Three children were born
to them, the only one now living being
DIR. w, Fl. G. Folsom. Although one
mile out of the city The attendance at the
funeral indicated The high esteem in
which the departed was held there
being nearly fifty carriages in line to the
Animas cemetery, where all that WAS
mortal was consigned to mother earth,
with the benedction of Rev. Candee.
TO know the deceased was to respect
and love her--a character that one could
pattern after. She was prepared and
ready to go and will be in waiting for
the loved ones who have been left behind
for short time. Durango (Col) Eren-
ing Herald.
