site of the pension office and facing 4th

up for the purposes indicated than Con-
gress decided to continue caring for it's in
sane in Baltimore, allowing the "old jail''
to be used as public hospital, it being
turned over to the Columbian College for
that purpose.
Woman's Efforts.
Finally the establishment of the present
Government Hospital for the Insane was
brought about by Miss Dorothea Dix. who
had devoted her life to securing humane
treatment for the insane She had endeay-
ored to have Congress set aside a large
area of the public domain to establish hos
pitals in the various states for this purpose
but after she had secured the passage of
the necessary act it was vetoed by Presi-
dent Pierce. The civil and Diplomatic act
of August 81, 1852. appropriated 800 600
to enable the Secretary of the Interior to
purchase a site in the neighborhood of
washington and for the erection, furnish
ing and fitting of an asylum for the insane
of the District of Columbia and of the
army and navy
The efforts of Miss Dix which resulted
IN this appropriation form one of the
heroic chapters of American history Thir-
teen years prior to that action Miss Dix
then volunteer teacher in the Sunday
school maintained by Harvard divinity
School students at the East Cambridge
Mass, house of correction, found few in
sane persons among the prisoners. She
talked with them and became interested in
their sad lot. They had no stove in their
room and were left to shiver in the cold of
winter like so many wild animals. Their
keeper said 1t would not be safe to give
them fire. Miss Dix appealed to the
court and warmth was provided. Then she
began her investigation into the condition
OF the insane from the Berkshire hills to
n6 ha hot
sane persons in the commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts were confined in cages, Closets

RICH MAN ABDUCTED.
An Aunt Runs Away With Her Nephew

Detroit, Mich, June 2O-Fowler
Chase, aged q, alleged to be mentally
incompetent and reputed to be worth
100000, was abducted from the Hotel
Cadiallac last Sunday night. He had
been a patient at a sanitarium, in
Flint and was en- route to his home in
Lafayette, Ind, accompanied by his
father, Frederick Chase a lawyer.
When the father and SON arrived here
the young mans aunt met them at the
depot and hurried the youth to the Ca
diallac Sunday night carriage drove
up to the hotel and young Chase was
taken to the Cleveland boat, which, in
company with his aunt and two I'M
known men, he boarded. On reaching
Cleveland the party took a train for
Cincinnati.
From there they went to Albany, N.
Y, where the private detective that the
father had employed to watch them
lost sight of the party. Extradition pa :
pers were to-day made out in anticipa-
ton of the party's arrest by the New

boy possesses is revertable to the aunt

lieve that the object of the alleged alb
ductorS is to take the young man out
of the country. It is stated that upon
young Chase attaining his majority the
fathers guardianship ceased and that
the rather was taking him to Lafayette

tinued as his guardian by order of the

day, by which the little girl was Sc
frightfully scalded that Dr. Leggat,
the, attending physician, has scant

Mrs. Harrington was washing and
had tub of boiling water standing on
the floor of the Kitchen. She had cau-
toned the child against going near the
tub and did not observe that she was
playing near it until the screams of
the little one attracted her attention.
The child had gone too close to the
tub and in some manner had fallen in.
Before the mother could reach her, the
little one had been frightfully scalded
about the head and face, on her arms
and on her back. The frightened moth
err screamed for assistance and a mes
senger was hurried off after DIR. Leg
gat, who responded quickly and found
the little one in a shocking condition.
Everything that medical skill could
do was done to relieve her sufferings,
but she continued In awful agony and

had small hopes of being able to save
her.

BOLD MAIL ROBBER.
Check on Anaconda Bank Is Among the
Plunder.

Plumber.
Chicago, June 20.-What is regarded
by Postoffice Inspector James Stuart as
one of the largest and boldest mail rob-
berries in the history of the Chicago
postoffice was detected to-day and the
arrest of Walter Porter and John New
man, drivers of mail wagons at the
postoffice, followed. Porter made full
confession, duplicating Newman. A
large amount of the letters money or
ders and packages taken by the men
were found in their lodging house at 900
South Halstead street.
In the pile were letters, money orders
and checks directed to all parts OF the
country and Europe. One check found
in the pile was for $40 900, while another
for a large amount was sent from
Marcus Days bank at Anaconda.
The fact that the robbers had been in
the employ Of the Chicago postoffice
only since June 1, and that all the
thefts were committed since that time
while the prisoners were driving their
wagons, makes the scheme one of the
boldest in the recollection of postoffice
inspectors. The mail was all taken in
pouches while being carried in the
wagons from the postof1ice to the rail-
road stations and back, and it has been
admitted that three sacks were taken
in one day. The prisoners will not adj
NIT that they secured much of value
from their depredations, but declare
they would have been considerably
richer had their scheme not been dis
covered so soon. They were preparing
to destroy all mail matter when ar
rested and had hidden most of it away
in sacks in the attic OF the house in
which they lived
