There is no State in the Union that
has more magnificent public asylum for
the insane than North Carolina, State
that has for years taken a peculiar pride
in its public institutions, and that has
made large appropriations for the pnr-
pose of establishing and improving them.
The results amply bear witness to the
efforts expended in TINS direction, and
among the very best of North Cardinals
State institutions is the asylum for the
insane referred to above
An act was passed by the Legislature
on December 18th, 1918, when Calvin
Graves was Speaker of the Senate, ami
II. +. Gillian was Speaker OF the House,
creating the North Carolina Insane Asy-
lum The institution was completed in
1856 During the session of 1893 the
name was changed to the State Hos
rital. 1t is one mile south of Raleigh,
situated on what is known as DiN's Hill,
an emincnee commanding Il. grand view
Of tile surrounding country. No better
location for such a purpose could posi-
bly, have been chosen. The man build
ing consists of a tnreeStory srIccot q
building, about nine hundred feet long,
which was originally intended to accom-
modate two hundred and forty patients
1t is divided imto twelve wards, six
female and six male. The grounds en-
brace one hundred and seyenty-tour
acres Immediately surrounding the build
ings, and are equally beautiful, hGug
shaded with handsome oaks, and various
other shade trees.
II 1892 Tire LEGISLATURE made an ap-
preparation fer an annex 10 the fsmae
department., which was built in 1894,
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1899-08-24

and accommodates seventy-five addi-
tional patients. 1t is a three-story brick
building south of the main building. The
buildings contain all the modern inn
provement, being steam heated and light
ed By electricity and gas, the plants for
both of which are located on the prem
Uses. There is a cold storage plant, and
dccp~hored wells supply the institution
with water by electric pump.
The dairy department is very well
stocked, having forty Holstein milk
COWS, which in IA short space OF time
viii be giving ono hundred gallons OF
milk a day. The cuisine depends for its
vegetables entirely upon the gardens on
the place not indeed having had to
buy anything of the kind for the en-
tire institution in the past seven years.
Ii has been the desire of the manage
ment 10 make the hospital as nearly
self-sustaining as possible. and for that
purpose all waste products are econo-
micaly used, fifteen thousand pounds of
pork fattened on the refuse having
served to reduce expenses to eonsid-
crablc extent.

the Per capita cost has been reduced

Il CIRELESS MIN.

If Director Merriam of the Census
bureau isn't careful he will get him
self disliked, and he will be called IAN
enemy of education" ETC., etc. Speak
ing of the many failures among the
applicants for places under him he says:
They cannot spell, and they cannot do
ordinary arithmetic. Fifty per cent
fail, and they fail because they cam
not divide 100000 by 4,O2S; that is, they
cannot get correct result. 1t is sim
ply marvellous, the lack of education
in these rudimentary branches Some
thing must be radically wrong with our
system Of education. Our public
schools teach botany and psychology
and sewing and moulding, but appar-
emily they do not teach simple arith-
metic and spelling.
Mr.. Merriam must be a queer person.
1t is lucky for him that he doesn't live
in New Haven. We have way here
of making 1t pretty warm for anybody
who isn't u0 to date in educational
matters and doesn't appreciate "the
frills' at their true value.

THE KING OF KARINDA.

We are all kings or queens In this
country, but it is interesting to read
that the King of Kabinda, Africa, ie
working as janitor in San Francisco.
He has lately petitioned both Queen
Victoria and King Charles l of Portugal
for restoration of his lawful rights,
which, he says, is only the matter of a
warship or two. Kabinda Is situated
between the possessions of Portugal
and France, and is part of the Congo
Free State. The king, who is known
in San Francisco as plain James Jack
son, says he left his own country about
twenty-five years ago, when fifteen
years of age, to see the world, and af-
ter going to England drifted about un-
til he came to America some twelve
years ago.
Why the King of Kabinda should
want to make trouble for himself is
hard to understand. His power as
janitor is large and absolute, and he
ought to be contented with it. He
might go to Africa and fare much
worse.

HOW TO SHOOT SPIES.

less few are actively aiding the in

commands, and many more are send
ing him information Hence, and out
cry that these traitors should have met
ed out to them republican justice, +"
| after the manner supposed spies and
traitors We're dealt with by the pious
Beers in 1881. The case of the three
men arrested at Potchefsroom affords a
| fine insight into Boer ethics and prac-
tice The individuals preferred British
rule to the government of the Boer tri
umvirate. 1t is contended by men
whom I know and who were living at
lar with the circumstances, that the
three so-called spies had done nothing
that any person at that stage of the
rebellion was not free to do But guilt
or innocence is small matter; what I
wish to bring out Is the summary and
pious way in which they were treated.
The Boer leaders, two of whom reckon
with the worst offenders in Office within
the republic, condemned them to death.
Short was their ehrift; swift their exc
cution. They were drawn up in line. A
firing party had been detailed to take
their lives, and was out Of sight. 7 am
told the victims were marched to the
spot to the cheering notes Of the Dead
March in SAUL Nearing the place the
cody command gave out the hymn
"Jesu neem de zandaars aan"-which
translating literally and metrically one
may render, Jesus take the sinners to
Thee" Then, at the word sinners, the
hidden firing party aimed, and the so
called spies were no more.
Does 1t not relieve the ghastliness Of
this transaction to note the sansctimoni-

Thanksgiving FOOTBALL AGAIN.

|
The Thanksgiving football question
came up in Rochester, New York, as
| well as in Chicago. In Rochester a
game was played in the forenoon be-
tween the Rochester university and the
Hobart teams. Rev. F. L. Anderson, Of
the Second BAPTIST church, at his Sun
day morning service severely criticised
the appointment of the game for the
morning, because 1t would necessarily
conflict with the Thanksgiving services
in the churches, and expressed the
hope that not one of his hearers would
attend the game. Interviews with
members of the university faculty
showed that the decision regarding the
time of holding the game was made
by the council" body composed Of
two trustees, two members of the fac
ulty, three alumni and four students
The managing committee of the coun-
Gil fixed the date and hour of the game.
A member Of the athletic council ex-
planned that the forenoon was chosen.
first because few of the people who
would want to attend the game, when
ever it might be played, would also
want to attend the religious services
and secondly, because people like to
spend the afternoon Of Thanksgiving at
their homes.
Rochester isn't as wicked as Chicago,
but it's Thanksgiving football is just as
wicked as Chicago's Thanksgiving foot
ball.

ENCOUKAGTNG.

When the financial bill prepared BY
the Republican caucus committee OF
the House was made public it was sale
to be quite sure to pass the house and
pretty sure not to pass the senate. But
the outlook for it in the Senate seems
to improve.
E. j. Gibson, the reliable and well in
formed staff correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Press at Washington, reports
that very little criticism is heard in
Republican circles at the capital of the
bill In fact, he says there probably
never was financial bill that met with
such general favor among members of
the party. AS to the fate of the bill
in the Senate it Is known that some of
the Republicans of that body, notably
Mr.. Chandler of New Hampshire and
Mr. Wolcott of Colorado, will oppose the
bill, but leading Republican senator
who knows all his party colleagues ex-
cept few of the new ones, says that
he has gone over the list carefully and
figures out a Republican majority of
one for the bill with eight Republican
senators on the doubtful list. 1t was
afterward ascertained. reports Mr.. Glib
son, that four of the eight doubtful ones
are in favor of the bill, which makes a
majority of at least six in the Senate
for the measure as it now stands.
This is encouraging, and it ought to
be true. The bill is all right and should
be made a law as soon as possible
