Lee Sing Again.

Upon hls release in the habeas cor pus proceedings at Tucson in Noyem- Der Lee Sing returned to Nogales, and pretended to be making his home upon the American side of the line. The officials of the United States gov ernment were satisfied, however, that he was going over into Sonora. The decision of the court in the habeas corpus proceedings was that the certificate he produced was prima facie evidence of his right to be in the country. But under the law should he leave the United States that right would be forfeited, he would have no right to return, and if he did he would be subject to deportation.
 Upon Saturday last Chinese h. spector B. F. Jossey swore out war rand for the arrest of Lee Sing as be- ing Chinaman who had no right to be in the United States. Hearing of the case was had before United States James B. Mix Saturday afternoon. Tom Bennett of Phoenix. assistant United States district attorney, con- ducted the case upon behalf of the government.
 Various witnesses were examined, among them Immigration Inspector Lewis Adams and Vice-Consul Albert Morawetz, who both testified to hay ing seen Lee Sing in Nogales, Sonora. Other testimony was presented which went to show that defendant was em- ployed, at times, as a laborer in the laundry of Wong Hong, opposite the electric light works.

A STRINGENT FOOD LAW.
Prohibits the Use of Arsenic or Alum in
 All Articles of Diet.

The law enacted by the Missouri legislature, d copy of which was re- gently published in our columns and which prohibits the manufacture or sale of any article intended for food or to be used in the preparation of food, which contains alum, arsenic, am monia, etc., places that state in the lead in the matter of sanitary legis- lation.
 Laws restricting the use of alum in bread have been in force in England. Germany and France for many years In this country, in Minnesota. Wis consin, Michigan, Ohio. Kentucky and several other states, direct legislation in reference to the sale of alum baking powders has also been effected. In several of these states their sale is prohibited unless they are branded to show that they contain alum, and in the District of Columbia, under the laws of congress. the sale of bread con- bdlUluR diutu ildS btCt luduC liiSeoi
 Following are the names of some or the brands of baking powder sold in this vicinity which are shown by re- cent analysis to contain alum. House keepers and grocers should cut the list out and keep it for reference:

even for few minutes the misery that
rests on these unhappy lives. 1t is nota-
Die fact thai proficiency n the art of music
is frequently met witt in the insane. The
soloist upon the violoncello and cornet in
the band and orchestra of the asylum Is a
patient. Another case is that Of young
| man, excellently educated whose insanity
is OF the most morbid and detected nature.
This patient seems to have lost his every
faculty and accomplishment but that OF
playing the piano, which he often does in
most exquisite manner, reveling, for a
brief space, in the beautiful tones Of his
iEwn creation, only to relapse into the mis-
cry and torpor which now form his nor
NAL condition.
A fine hall, known as THE Chapel is
devoted to the amusement of the patients
in the winter time, well as to religious
exercises. Here, commencing upon
Thanksgiving Day, and lasting until the
list OF May, three entertainments week
are given for the benerr of the patients,
these diversions including lectures,
Dances. and theatricals. In the summer
open air concerts are furnished by the ex-
cellent band connected with the institu-
ton. school for female nurses has
lately been established, although perman-
ent quarters for this adjunct have not yet

the institution are remarkably large and
well conducted. Thirty barrels of flour
are consumed daily, and the bread is OF
the best quality. 1t is very pleasant to
see and hear an enthusiastic little baker
describe the care that is taken in pro-
viding not only the staff of life" to the
poor inmates of the asylum, but such deli
cacies as pies, cakes, buns, etc, in fact,
as the little baker said. everything that
can be baked" The food is carried in
cans that run on rails through tunnels to
the various buildings.
The asylum while commenced as q pub
lie institution for the INDECENT insane, has
come to receive pay patients, the revenue
derived from this source being set forth
in the annual report of the superintendent
The advance in wisdom and humanity
which St. Elizabeth's Asylum represents
can best be appreciated from the recital
of one significant fact When the move
begun, in 1871, the INDECENT insane were
lodged in the old District all and treated
as feions. During the session OF 1851 Con-
gress appropriated $780, 600 for the purpose
OF founding a hospital f5r the insane OF
the District of Columbia and the present
magnificent location was purchased In
1856. when the institution was first fully
established, there were but ninety-nve pa
TENTS The first superintendent was DR..
Nichols. In addition to the present head
of the establishment DR.. Richardson there
is a board OF visitors. who report annual
" to Congress upon the condition and re-
quirements OF the asylum.
