BRIDGEToN, N. j. THURSDAY JANUARY 26, 1899
STATE INSANE.
Something of the Present institution at
Trenton.

At this time, when Cumberland county
Is about to expend $4,000 upon County
Insane Hospital, everything appertain-
ing to the question. is of particular inter
est. The report of the State Asylum, at
Trenton, shows much that can be studied
with profit. There are in the institution
1889 inmates, 676 men, 633 women. Dur
Ing the year just passed, there were 26S
inmates received, Cumberland sending
up lS INDECENT, priva and 2 State
patients. Mercer county Mt the largest
NUMBER while Salem sent 9, Cape Nav
s. and Gloucester IL.
The alleged causes of the insanity of
those committed during the year were as
follows: General i'll health. 40; domestic
sff1iction, 10; domestic troubles, s; loss of
property, bu mess troubles, etc., 13; over
work, anxiety. loss of sleep, 20; puerpe.
raj state, 6, old age. Is; epilepsy, 10:
vicious habits and indugences. IL; speci-
tic diseases, Z, intemperauce in the use of
alcohol. IL; sun stroke, heat, exhaustion,
ETC., 10; injury to head, IL; congenital, 4:
disappointed affections, IL; menopause.
~ NPioL hoOits cACGSSlF0 use OF
tobacco, cigarette smoking, 8; fright. /.
spiritualism. 1; menstrual troubles, s:
unknown, AZ.
Last year the institution received from
this county Sl2,753.8l, for support of it's
insane, three times as much as Salem
paid, and four times as much as Cape
Nay was called upon for. Camden has
its own asylum, and only paid Sl54.0S
Atlantic county paid nothing, taking care
of its own afflicted.
T&e building of the structure will
probably begin ere many weeks have
elapsed, and then the 3oard of Free
holders will he called upon to make ar
rangements for its government. After
the general scheme is adopted by the
Board, it will probably create Board of
Trustees, similar to the one in charge of
the Aims House, who will have charge
of the management. The trustees will
probably consist of three members, elect
ed annually.
The general sentiment throughout the
county, in fact, almost the unanimous
sentiment, is favorable to the County
Institution, ard it is pleasing to the peo-
pie to know that the asylum will be
built.

WILL BE NAMED.
Hon. T. w. Trenchard VIII be County Law
Judge.

Upon authority of those who know, it
can be stated that Hon. Thomas w.
Trenchard will be named by Governor
voorhees, as Law Judge of Cum berland
County to succeed Judge James 4. Hoag-
land The appointment is likely to be
made at an early date. although the Com
mission of the present Judge does not
expire until April. The early appoint.
ment is announced to give the new official
an opportunity to arrange his practice so
that he can take his place upon the bench
without EN- barrassment.
When the result of last falps election
was known, it was apparent that Judge
Hoagland would retire from the bench.
At the same time, the name of Mr.
Trenchard became generally associated
with the position. 1t was some time be-
fore Mr.. Trenchard arrived at the con-
clusiOn that he would be a candidate
but the opportunities of his hosts of
friends and petitions signed by the mem.
bers of the Cum berand bar, settled the
matter, and Governor Voorhees, will have
the pleasant task of honoring one of his
good friends aud warm admirers.
Mr. Trenchard has been singularly sue
cessful in his public life. Early in life he
was triumphanty elected to the Legis-
lature, and would have succeeded. himself
had not he sacrificed his ambition to as
sist his father in being County Clerk.
Mr.. Trenchard has since been a member
of the State Republican Executive Com
mittee, was elected as a Presidential
Elector in 1896. and has been City Solicit
tor for years. AS Judge of Cumberland,
he will add to his previous ehviable
record

AFTER THE STORES.
The Mcouaid Bill in the House Followed
by One From Senator Stokes.

L
Inv One From Senator Stokes.
Assemblyman McQuaid, of Middlesex
County, has introduced Dill IN the
House which is drawn on the same lines
as the one that he undertook to have
nassed last winter without avail. 1t pro-
vides that mining and manufacturing
corporations shall not engage IN the
carving on of stores known as company
stores or general supply stores, or stores
where goods and merchandise other than
such as have been mined and manufac-
tured by mining and manufacturing cor
norations are kept or offered for sale.
The object of the bill is to remedy what
the labor organizations in the State think
is an evil, viz, the compulsory purchase
by employees of manufacturing COM
panies, 1t is claimed that in the glass
manufacturing districts of South Jersey
the employees are obliged to patronize the
compapy stores or lose their employment.
Under this system the working people
say that they have no control OF their
wages and cannot get the benefit OF COM
netition in the market. They ere Obliged
to trade ct the company stores and are
charged higher than market prices Tor
what they purchase in many instances.
At the end of the month the amount that
thew owe the merchant is deducted from
their wages.
There are among labor leaders, and es-
pecially among lawyers. the feeling that
the McQuaide bill. if passed. would not
stick if taken in the Supreme Court The
opinion is expressed that there can be no
Hesitation that can be enforced which
will prevent any individual, company or
CORPORATION from conducting store busi-
ness if they see fit Certain it is that last
wear the manufacturers were not anxious
to defeat the McQuaid bill which passed
the house. Able counsel bad informed
the corporations that the McQuaid bill
was unconstitutional and that it would
he less trouble to set aside the bill in the
Supreme court than it would be to lobby
against it. The bill passed the House.
but never came to vote in the Senate.
Senator Stokes will also TAX 9 a hand in
the attempt to legislate against the COM
pany stores. 1t is said that the bill which
he has been working upon will ecom-
pleted and introduced next week. The
measure prepared by Mr.. Stokes will be
known as the Cash bill. and it will pro-
vide that companies and corporations
shall pay employers in cash every two
weeks. With the actual money in hand,
Senator Stokes believes that the working
men will be independent of the company
stores and at liberty to trade wherever
they see fit.
The proposed legislation will be fol-
lowed with the greatest interest by many
people of this section.

About twenty-five men and women,
called on Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis Anders, at
their home on South avenue, last Satur-

This did not seem to make very much
difference to the party, for when they
learned the facts they just set to work
and had lots of fun.
About eleven o'clock Mr.. Anders' son
came home and let them into the house.
where they kept up their festivities until
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrews came home, To
say they all had jolly time is mild ex-
preston of the occasion.
