At the Hospital for Insane.

Fom Tuesdays Daily.
Christmas is a day that brings joy to
most all the human race, from the pratt.
Ting child Of five years to the aged man
who has lived his three score and ten and
is ready to pass beyond. Even those un.
fortunately situated are to a large Ok
tent made to feel that there is joy and
gladness mingled with their sadness.
A person visiting the hospital Christ
mas day and observing the bountiful
repast prepared for the inmates (about
300 in number) and the name in
which it was relished could not help but
conclude that they were amply pro-
vided for and that the provision was
heartily appreciated. Turkey, cranberry
sauce and all the essentials that go to
make a first class dinner were served
besides, each patient received a large
sack containing apples, oranges, nuts
and candy. A large number Of presents
were received from relatives and friends
of patients. They consisted mostly of
articles of wearing apparel.
The officers and employees were recip.
tents of many valuable reminders of the
season. Mr.. and Mrs. DIR. KEEPER were
remembered by many tokens of regard,
MI. and Mrs. D. Rees had a Christmas
tree for the children and it was loaded
with such articles that make young
hearts glad.
DIR. KEEPER, superintendent, has the
welfare of those placed in his charge al
heart and devotes his undivided atten.
ton in looking after the needs of the in
stitution and is very conscientious in
his performance of same, while the
other officials, DR.. Stephenson, physi'
clan, d. Rees, steward, and Miss Keat'

BEGINS THE CRUSADE
Helen Gould Takes the Lead Against
Congressman Roberts.
WOMEN UP in ARMS
SAY THEY WILL TRY TO STAMP
OUT MoRMoNISM.
The Millionairess Addresses a Meet
ing In New York and Denounces
the Principle of Polygamy, For
Which She Declares the Utah
Representative Stands.
fsnecial to The Herald.l

New York, Oct. 6.-Helen Gould be-
gan active work in her crusade against
polygamy at the meeting called this
afternoon by Mrs. Watts, president of
the American Female Guardian society
and Home For the Friendless The pri-
mary aim of the crusade is to prevent
the seating in congress of Brigham H.
Roberts, elected to that body from
Utah. The ultimate aim is to stamp
out Mormonism, for which Roberts
stands.
Il feel that the principle of polygamy,
for which he stands, strikes at the root
of what is sacred and beautiful in our
home life, and 1 am glad to lend what
little influence 1 might have to OPP
pose it, are Miss Gould's words. She
addressed the meeting today and fur
Their defined her views on the question.
Miss Gould's crusade, she says, is not
one of sentiment. Her friends declare
she is not that kind of person. On many
occasions they point out she has dem
onstrated her practical interest in pub
lie questions and her capability of deal
ing with them in a commonsense way.
She is a graduate in law and nothing

RESOLUTIONS ARE ADOPTED.
Those of the Women Protesting
Against Seating of Roberts.

New York. Oct. 6.-At the meeting
today of the American Female Guard
ian society, the following resolutions
were read by Miss Helen NJ. Gould and
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Brigham II. Roberts, who
has. been elected a representative from
polygamist and as such is attacking
the sanctity of home life;
Resolved That we, the women as
sembled at the call of the American
Female Guardian society and Home for
the Friendless, do earnestly protest
against the seating of Mr.. Roberts; and
Resolved. That we urge that all men
and women use their influence with
their respective congressman to pre-
vent said Roberts taking his seat"
a number of addresses in opposition
TO the seating of Mr.. Roberts were
made Miss Gould did not speak, but
at the conclusion of the meeting she
handed the reporters statement,
signed H Miller Could" The state
ment follows:
Il am glad 10 have an opportunity to
protest against the seating in congress
of a man who advocates and practices
polygamy Our country has been noted
in the past for the beauty of it's home
life. and the chivalry and respect shown
by man to woman. It would be sad
indeed to see man who stands for
the Oriental harem seated among our
lawmakers. l earnestly hope that men
will feel willing to write their congress
men. urging them to rise in protest
against Mr.. Roberts being seated when
congress opens"

RUSH THE wARsHIPs.
United States Will Soon Have Big
Naval Fleet at Manila. s-sa

United States Will Soon Have Big
Naval Fleet at Manila. Is
New York, Oct. ga special to: the
Herald from Washington says: The
vessels which have thus far received
orders for Manila are: The armored
cruiser Brooklyn, en- route to Hampton
Roads, proceeds to New York for re-
pairs and fitting out and changes in
personnel; protected cruiser New Or
leans, en- route to Hampton Roads, pro-
ceedS to New York for repairs and
changes in personnel: gunboat Nash
Vile, now at Santo Domingo, proceeds
to Manila without delay, via Suez canal,
and stopping at San Juan for coal and
needed repairs; auxiliary cruiser
Badger, now at Mare Island prepares
for orders to proceed to Manila.
The other vessels which will be sent
to Manila are the protected cruiser
Albany and the gunboats Marietta,
Machias and Bancroft. OF these the
Albany is now being completed in Eng
land. Her officers and crew will be sent
to her about Jan. l, and she will pro-
coed at once to Manila. The Marietta
is now at Washington under orders to
proceed to the mouth of the Orinoco.
She will probably carry out the orders,
returning when relieved to prepare to
join Admiral Watson.
The Bancroft is at Boston. and prac-
ticaIly ready for service. The Machias
is now at Washington, and after needed
repairs she can leave with little delay.
With the exception of the Albany and
Marietta, all these vessels can leave for
Manila within a month.
The admiral has impressed upon the
authorities the need of haste and they
are proceeding accordingly The depart
ment may later decide to send addi-
tional vessels of the auxiliary gunboat
class. The admiral has pointed out the
desirability of large vessels, saying
there is danger of the small gunboats
being captured.
There is no change in the admins
tration's purpose not to issue a formal
blockade proclamation, although it is
appreciated that the maintenance of a
municipal blockade may involve the
government in controversies with for
eign nations whose ships may be held
up outside the three-mile limit, and
that such nations may go SO far as to
press claims for damages. Admiral
Watson will, however, issue orders
which, if obeyed, will avoid all cause
for trouble.
When the eight vessels named reach
Admiral Watson he will have under
his command one battleship, two moni-
tors. one armored cruiser, seven pro-
tected and auxiliary cruisers and TWEEN
ty-seven gunboats. including the ves-
sells bought from Spain by General Otis.
The United States will then be superior
in naval strength in the Pacific to Rus
STA, which stands next to Great Britain.

BRYAN D|SAGREES WITH HANNA
ON QUESTION OF ENGLISH AND
AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS.
Republican Leader Had Said That
British System Was As Good II
Not Better Than Ours.

Canton. Ills. Oct: 6.-Colonel William
]. Bryan visited the Canton street fair
today and delivered an address on the
public square to an immense audience.
He said:
1.-THE silver question is not dead, not
withstanding the fact that for num-
her of years our Republican friends
have been claiming that it had been in
tered. They claim that the people set
tied the silver question in 1886, but this
is not true. The only party before the
people in the campaign that had gold
standard platform was the gold Demo-
cratic party, and that party carried
only one township, and that was IN
western Kansas, which had in 1t only
six votes. This does not appear to me
to be a settlement of the SILVER ques-
ton
He then paid his respects to the
trusts. which he said had in the main
grown UP within the last few years, as
the result of Republican legislation. He
did not agree with Mark Hanna, who,
said Mr.. BRYAN, recently said, after
returning from England, that the Eng
lishs system of government was as good,
if not better, than the American sys-
tenn.
About half of his address was devot-
ed TO the foreign policy of the admin
istration, claiming that it's trend was
in the direction of imperialism. The
war in the Philippines, he said, was
war of conquest, and not one in the
interest of republican government. He
wanted the Filipinos treated as the
government had promised to treat the
Cubans. Instead of doing what was
being done, he thought it would have
been better for Admiral Dewey, after
destroying the Spanish fleet, to have
left for home.

SCANDAL In GERMAN ARMY.
Emperor Greatly Incensed Over Dis
sipation of Soldiers


Berlin, Oct 6.-TOday's developTnents
in the trial of the persons charged
with gambling at the Club de Harme-
losen, indicate that the special com
missioner who was entrusted to work
up the prosecution was wholly unfit for
the task. He allowed the worst of
tenders to escape. Three of the de
PENDANTS will be acquitted of the charge
of fraudulent practices. Won Manteuf-
fel, after the trial win be disciplined.
Emperor William, it is reported on
good authority. will issue another anti
gambling decree and viii also punish
superior officers whose regiments have
disregarded his repeated orders against
luxurious living on the part of the
officers.
The press, commenting upon the trial,
uniformly deplCres the rottennesS exist
ing in the highest fashionable circles
in Berlin. The Post, seIf1i-official, SAYS
drastic measures are required, and the
Vorwaerts asserts that the case is a
typical one. The ReichhotS says:
What kind of youth is this, wasting
it's time, substance and morality on
gambling, horses and women. then
Dragging OF it's honor and expecting
afterward to become pillars of the state
and religion?"
The Cologne volks Zeitung says
everybody in Berlin CANDLES and spec
ulates. and that betting on the races
and taking chances in the lotteries is
universal among high and low. An
nually, the paper asserts, hundreds are
ruined.
The Vossiche Zeitung, in it's com
ments, calls attention TO the almost en-
tire disregard on the part of the army
of the emperOr's repeated anti-gam
bling decree.
