A HOME FOR
DIPSOMANIACS.
State Funds Will Be Set Aside
For That Purpose.
MANY IN INSANE AsYLUMs
Who Could Easily Be Cured IL Sent to an
Institution Where Their Trouble
Is Understood and
Treated.
Special to the News-D Dem ocrat.


Columbus, o., Aug. 19.-The incoming
Legislature will be asked to appropriate
funds for the establishment of a home
for dipsOmaniacs. The bill will be pre-
pared at the suggestion of the State
Board of Charities, and physicians over
the state who are interested in the
treatment of this form Of disease.
1t is not the intention, however, to
make 1t a gold cure or to establish an
institution upon this plan. The pro-
posed home will be presided over by
physicians who are acquainted with
dipsomania and the best methods of
treatment. Empirical methods will
be discarded in favor of the most ad-
vanced scientific treatment. 1t is be-
lieved that such a bill will pass the
next general assembly in cpite of the i'll
fate of former attempts along the line.
The maintenance of such institutions
for this class of sufferers is now recog-
| nized by physicians and scientists as a
necessity of the times, and not believ-
ed that Ohio's lawmakers will consent
to see the state recede from the advanc-
ed position it has at all times taken in
matters affecting the welfare of it's
| citizens.
| IuySlCldnS interested III Ine PROJECT
| explain it's necessity by the statement
that drunkenness is now recognized as
a disease. When the craving for
| liquor or drugs overtakes it's victims
they are utterly unable to withstand
the temptation. Only by Incarceration
in an institution where their disease Is
understood and intelligently treated is
there hope for them, save in exceptional
Ico Ac r,,1a o,io
properly treated by scientific methods,
go from bad to worse until they finish
in the gutter.
| The insane asylums Of the state are
being constantly crowded with so-call-
ed insane persons who are as matter
of fact merely victims Of the habit of
intoxication in one of its forms. The
treatment they receive at the institu-
tions sends them out to do battle with
the world better prepared than they
have been in the past, but not in the
condition which properly equipped in
ebriate asylum could secure for them.
To relieve this congestion Of the insane
asylums and permit those institutions
to devote all their space to the care Of
the unfOrtunates for whom they are de-
signed, is the one object Of the proposed
new institution. The other as previous
| ly stated, is to reform and cure the
drunkards comitted to them.
The economic necessity and philan-
thrOpiC desirability of a state institu-
tiOn for the treatment and care of per-
sons who have become so diseased by
drink or drugs as to be helpless before
the cravings for stimulants, or who are
true dipsOmaniacs, and need custodial
care for their own protection and that
of society as well, during their attack,
has long been recognized by neurolo-
| gists and alienists.

LAMP EXPLODED.
Bad Blaze Resulted and it Took
the Department Some Time
to Put 1t Out.

An oil lamp exploded Saturday morn
ing in a room in the rear of the con-
dictionary of A. B. Dubois at 612 West
TuscaraWas street, and furniture and
other material was destroyed mourning
a loss of about $500. officer Zmmer-
man was patrolling West Tuscarawas
street at 2:15 o'clock when he discovered
flames issued from the house. He turn
ed in an alarm from box SO at High
street and returned and called the oc-
cupants, who We're in the upper floors
of the place. By the time the depart
ment responded a portion of the side
wall was partly burned and had it not
been for it's immediate discovery by the
officer, possibly the entire building
would have been consumed including
the occupants. An insurance policy
covering all stock and furnitue is car
ricd by Dubois in the German Buffalo
insurance company, and the loss will
be fully covered.

colored, were hanged here today. At
Slidell, May 13, they attacked Louis

heads in, after which they robbed the
store. Rosenstearn died the day after
the crime and his wife, May 1S-Taylor
went to Georgetown and there killed
Sergeant Fritz Bassau, of the Washing
ton police, who tried to arrest him. A
mob attempted to take him from the

a horrible sight. The drop was not long
enough and both men strangled and
writhed for ten minutes before death
came. Taylor confessed his guilt but
said Brown was innocent.
