nunacy Inc1 east,le IN England.

Lunacy shows an alarming growth in
England. Statistics just published give
105086 as the total of certified 1unatics,
an increase of ia over the preceding
year. This is the greatest annual In
crease recorded by over LOCO The
rate Of recovery also shows backward
movement, from 1881 per cent to 1851.
Agricultural Iaborers provide the larg-
est proportion OF lunatics. attributable
to a low standard of life and the use
of strong, cheap indian teas. Clerks
furnish the next greatest proportion OF
lunatics. Here also hard, wearing. I'M
derpaid work and insufficient food IS
the leading cause. 1t is contended that
the increase in lunacy is more appar-
emit than real, and is due chiefly to the
law regulating the notification Of lu-
natics, but experts agree that the stress
Of modern life is the prime factor In
promoting macy.

TUCSON PLAZA CASE.
Judge Davis Sustains the Demurrer of the City to the Petition
 of Dr.. Martin.

Judge Davis decided at Tucson. May 3l, the case of George Martin vs. Gust
 A. Hotf, mayor, which was petition on the part of Dr. Martin for writ of mandamus against the mayor to com pei him to issue deed for one of the
 lots in the so.cdled military plaza. i This is the lot which Dr.. Martin fenced in, and on which he erected the small
 house on the northwest corner of the ! piaza.
 | The Star says: The court in it's de- ciSion considered the points raised on
 both sides and referred to the authori- ties cited by respective counsel. The jddge said that the act of congress of
 1887, providing for entries on the pub lie lands where persons had settled on the same, had been construed by the courts, and that the Michigan and Colorado caoes announced the doc urine UEat the trust vested in the mayor was of a twofold character
 Under the act of congress the lands which were actually occupied at the date of entry by the trustee, were held in trust for the actual occupant at the time, and such lands as were within the entry; but which were at the time vacant and not occupied, were held in trust for the community, either as an aggregation or d corporation, if the in- habitants were incorporated. The de- cision of the supreme court of Arizona, which Was in line with those of other courts, was that no one was entitled to any rights under the acts of con gross by virtue of which, the entry was made, who was not actual occu- pant at the time.
 The court then considered the act of the Arizona legislature of 1887, re- lied on by the petitioner. and held that that act was to be taken as a whole, and that it in terms referred only to cases where citizens were at the time of the passage of the act located on public lands of the United States. That act, according to the view of the court, could not in any way refer to Che city of Tucson, because the city had received. under date of July l, 1874, patent to sections F and 13, and this laud consequently was no longer public land of the United States.
 It was not material, the court said to the question now calling for de- cioion to consider whether or not the legislature had authorized the city of Tucson to sell lands. The point that was decisive as to the rights of Dr. Martin was whether under the allega- lions of his petition is was the duty of the may or to make him deed. For the reasons above stated the court held that It was not, and the demurrer of the city to the petition was sus- tained.
 Col. William Herring, Judge $. w. Purcell and Col. James A. Zabriskie were attorneys for the petitioner and Messrs. Lowell X Satterwhite and | Rochester Ford represented the city.

Representative Richardson, the dem ocratlc leader, exposed the insiucerlty of the republican majority. He said: We are confronted with unique slt- uatlon. The government has been in possession of the republican party slnce March 4, 1897. It has been su. preme in all branches of the govern ment. The first thing done was to en- act the Dlngley law-a law which has done more to foster and propagate trusts than any other on the statute book. During all the intervening time nothing has been done to control the trusts, but now, on the eve of adjourn menf, after a resolution has been pass ed, fixing the day for final dissolution, the republican party brings in this antitrust legislation.

SACRAMENT REFUSED
81 TO KING HUMBERT

London, Aug. 2s.-"As the result Of
the outcry against the declaration Of
the Osservatore Romano" says the
Rome correspondent of the Express,
that the late King Humbert had medi-
tAted giving up Rome to the hierarchy,
the clerical papers have been instruct
ed to publish statement giving con-
frmation and details.
According to this account, King
Humbert, some months before his death.
wrote to Cardinal Giueppe Frisco,
Archbishop of Naples. requesting that
a trustworthy priest be sent to hear
his confession. A priest was sent, but
absolution was refused unless Hum
bert would agree to abdicate and give
up Rome. The King asked time to
consider, as he was anxious to receive
the sacrament, and according to the
clerical version, 1T was his communities
ton to the priest that induced the Holy
See to grant Christian burial
"King Humbert's letter to Cardinal
Frisco will be published. A circular
note from the vatican to the Catholic
powers declares that so long as Italy
contests the rights of the Holy See, the
Pope will recognize Victor Emmanuel
only as King of Sardinia. The note
appeals to the powers to relieve the
Pope from an intolerable situation, de-
claring that the condition Of the papacy
under Italian rule is steadily growing
