America. in conjunction With the state Of
Washington, will shortly b. made the de-
lendants In a suit at law for S0U.Sp

Demented persons have often protested
that they are not insane. even when their
actions cOutradicted their words. Indeed,
the most common attribute OF a mental
malady Is the positive opinion Of the pa
tient that ne Is perfectly sane. once In
q while such persons are proven sane ana
are released from custody. Mr.. Kenneth
harrington Bellairs claims in his pro-
spectus that he has been perfectly sane
all the tine, and has but now obtained
his freedom His sanity is eXemplified IN
his announcement that he is now writing
Il book on The Most Infamous Fraud
Ever Ptrpetrated by the Brain OF Man,
the Lunacy Asylums Of America" Like
all other keen men OF business instincts.
Alr. Kenneth Harrington Bellairs believes
that he can write up the story of his ca
reer in an insane asylum with profitable
results.
Insane Asy Iums In Combine.
The most interesting feature Of his
charges. however, Is that there is a we'll
organized and established lunacy ring, or
insane asylum trust, in the United States.
and that he alone il all the world can
and Will divulge the awful and narrowing
lects Of this new octupus. Though he has
not yet enlightened the world with all of
the grim details, he hints at an organiza-
tlOn all-pOwerful in its operations, against
which no sane man is absolutely safe-a
trust capable of taking any defenseless
editor who Offends il or any person who
incurs It's displeasure and locking him in
the cells OF a lunatic asylum, with the

The object OF the bulletin of Mr.. Ken
nsth Harrington BellaiTs is to sell to the
ing the Outrages against his person, writ
ten TO Lord Salisbury. premier of Great
Britain, which, ne hopes, will be consider
ed by that parsonage as a sufficient basis
for the S,UOO,OO0 damage suit TO be IN
stituted against the United States of
America and the State of Washington.
As will be seen from his prospectus, Mr..
Kenneth Harrington Bellairs claims 10 be
q real cousin 10 the late Earl OF stafford
an uncle 10 the Lord de Clifford. and
AepaeW Of the late William T. Gladstone.
he was also for twenty years the most
intimate friend Of the late Warehouses
OF Sallsbury'S late brother. Regarding
exact dates, his memory is trifle vague.
rOr Instance. he says that about 1870 he
was a member OF the New York Stock
Exchange; or, il not member, at least
IL was one Of the very first men who en-
Tered the doors when the new building
was opened.
