MADNESS PRETENDED AND REAL.

| MADNESS PRETENDED AND REAL | One of the Paris theatres has juet produced piece in six acts under the title Tn Peace" The plot deals with a matter which has for some time sadly exercised both writers and legislators;
 one, moreover, which bears directly up-
 on the role of the medical man in mod
 ern society. A commercial man return ing home from a long Journey finds his business ruined by his son-n-law and his children to whom he had confided
 his affairs during bis absence. Natural ly annoyed at this, he announces his in-
 tehtion of disinheriting them, so they
 arrange with medical man to treat
 him as lunatic and have him immured
 in an asylum. Four long scenes pass in
 the asylum, and naturally enough the
 author makes out that many of the in-
 mates are not mad, but only there on
 account of family intrigues. Among
 them Is noble minded priest who has recognized the inposslbility of escape and has resigned himself to end his days there Fin peace"-a peace which fore
 shadows that of the grave. The hero of the piece when he comprehends the sit uation falls into paroxyelns of rage, which naturally strengthens the opinion
 that he is mad. One day, at the in- stance of some of his relations who are disinterested, a magistrate and a med ico-legal expert arrives at the asylum to make inquiries of the patient him. self But the influence of his surround ings has proved too much for his brain, and he has become really mad; so that he flies at the magistrate and tries to strangle him. Henceforward he is an outcast from society and condemned to die in the prison-house The medical man in charge of the asylum Is depicted as an interruptions scoundrel who sticks at nothing as long as it pays him, and the attendants by his orders give nor phia secretly to morphine -maniacs in order to prolong their stay in the asy- lum. The play has not taken the public fancy, for it's real dramatic interest is nil but the production has served as peg for discussions in the press as to the exaggerated powers of medical men in such positions and to demand the carry ing out of the oft-mooted, but never re- alized, reform of French lunacy laws.- Paris Correspondence London Lancet.

 Indiana timber land, which was con- | sidered the best in the country, is be- ing So rapidly denuded of the once splendid forests of hardwood timber 1 that speculators are seeing the advant- | age of gobbling up everything that may | be got in the way of timber tracts. 1 The walnut and hickory of Indiana and Ohio are considered the best that can be had, and the monster poplars which once formed the nucleus for the 1 log-heap fires are now worth individ- ually more as they stand than the acres they occupy when cleared will bring, and many poplar tree selling for $1O0 before an axe touched it. The walnut that was once so plenti- full that bar timbers, house sills fence rails, etc, were made from 1t, is be- coming exceedingly scarce, and curled walnut stumps have brought almost. fabulous prices, while hickory of the shell back variety can scarcely be found in some of the best sections
 Last years purchase by Goshen (Ind) firm of fifty-five standing trees
 
 co and the handsome sum they make out of the handling of this rare clump of trees have proved an incentive in the search for timber in other direc- tions. Grant county furnished notice, able instance in the sale of the 1,030 acres of virgin forest on the Wood tract, the last large forest in Indiana, for S6G, GOO. A New York firm bought the walnut timber where it stood for $55,0 900; 400 acres of land, the timber being reserved by the seller, sold for S20,000, and there remain 630 acres of the best timber in Indiana, the wal nut alone being sold from it. The buy CTS will clear $5O,o00 by their deal in that timber

BIG BOATS FOR LAKE PASSENGER
 SERVICE

The Great Lakes Navigation company made up of Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit Cleveland and Milwaukee capitalists will be incorporated in the state of Del aware before the end of this month for the purpose of operating a line of pas senger and freight boats between Buff falo and Chicago.
 Two new boats, the largest ever built for passenger service on the lakes, will be turned out at the American Ship building company's yards at South Chi cago by May 1, 1901, in time for use during the Pan-American Exposition. These boats will be unlike any others on the lakes. They will be a combination freight and passenger boat but will be sued exclusively for passenger service during the passenger season.
 These steamers will each be four hun dred and seventy feet over all, four hundred and fifty feet keel, fifty feet beam and twenty feet moulded depth. They will be equipped with triple-ex- panSion engines of four thousand horse- power each, and will be capable of making speed continuously during the season of eighteen knots. Each boat will have a capacity of five thousand tons, or about one hundred and seventy five bushels of wheat, and will have ac- commodation for over nine hundred pas sengers. There will be two hundred and forty-one rooms with six hundred and fifty-four berths. One of the features of these steamers will be the unusual
The daily morning journal and courier., 1900-04-02

number of parlor-rooms, each boat hav- ing twenty-six. These parlor-rooms will be very large, and will have bath and other convenient attachments. Another innovation will be the location of the dining room on the upper deck.
 The dining-room will seat two hundred and forty-fve, and will be thirteen feet high, and the windows will be so ar ranged that the occupants of the din- ing-room hay have an excellent view of
 the lake.
 It also is intended in the construction of these boats to cut away from the conventional style of decoration and finish. The lobby will be as nearly sim- filth to first-class hotel lobby as is pos sible. Instead of being finished in wood, it will be finished in marble and onyx. The music-room will be finished in ebo- nized wood with rich hangings The decorations in the library will have an Oriental effect. The mems cafe will be finished in red and heavy dark natural wood, and furnished with luxurious so- faa and chairs. Throughout each boat the finish and decorations will be en- tirely different from that usually found on passenger steamers. The reception room will not be the long gallery-like affair now found on all steamers. It will be room fifty by sixty feet.
 Each boat will make one round trip a week between Buffalo and Chicago, stopping at Detroit, Cleveland, Milwau- kee and Mackinaw, so that the boats will run twice week.-Buffalo Express.

A man may be more in a week than in ten years but it is we'll to set up something to sight by, or you lose sense of proportion and forget that the souls ten years, without annals, have in them that which makes it's one day of his tory.

 WHAT COMES WITH MILITARISM The expansion of the army to the full limit allowed by law and the prospects of a permanent increase being author ized in the next year or two have re- suited In an influx of military proposi- tions and projects on congress and an enormous advance in the number of military bills introduced in both houses during the present session
 There is no branch of the army that has not several bills before congress in- tended to widen its influence ard scope and to increase the cost of its mainte- nance. The clamor for army legislation brings from nearly every state de- mand for new army post the pur- chase of sites for larger ones where garrisons are now stationed, or for im- provements at cemeteries or other gov- ernment reservations Out of the two thousand measures now before the house military committee, there are hundreds due to the new military condi- tions imposed by the war in the Philip pines. el
 A serious difficulty the army has to cope with now is the contracted space afforded the military reservations. The carrying power of the modern small arm, the additional room needed for ev olutions and drills, and the impractical bility at times of purchasing additional ground, add to the difficulties. At least eight thousand acres are required for space to drill troops In, for riie-ranges and the necessary buildings.
 The state of Tennessee is among the active aspirants for an army post. There is a large one at Atlanta and an- other at Fort Thomas. not many hum dred miles away. Knoxville is the site selected by those behind the plan.
 Indiana wishes post also, and pre- fers that it be located at Jeffarsonville. Other states are equally as insistent. A number of large towns are expecting to receive garrisons are willing to have army arsenals.s powder manufactures, or any new kind of military station.
 Bills to establish memorial parks at some of the great battlefields have long been before congress and are familiar to the people, but even the demand for ac- tion on these has been increased this session.-W Washington Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.

finding solution in the natural adjust

A third fact in recent developments to
which attention should be called is the
Incorporation of many small concerns
The New York Journal of Commerce
estimates that the total capital of indus
trial corporations formed since January
1, 1900 having a capitalization of $1,000
900 and more, is 81, 545, 1886, 900. About one
fifth of the total, or 500, 900, repre-
sents new companies. 1t is clear that
much of this new capital must be COM
peting in the fields of the big combina-
lions formed when the trust movement
was at its height. Here is direct evil
dence that competition has not been
stified, but is reasserting itself with con-
siderable vigor.
The trust movement has thus encoun-
tered a setback from two sides. On the
one hand, the water is being squeezed
out of the trust shares by the operations
of the stock exchange. On the other
hand, small competitors are springing up
in opposition to the large concerns
