ASYLUMS HAVE a WISANC
LIE
Over tile Question as to Wher
Idiots Should be Confined.


Parkersburg State journal.
The management of the Home
for Inourables at Huntington and
the Weston Insane Asylum are dis
putting over the question whether
an idiot can become lunatio. The
dispute has been referred to At
torney General Rucker for settle
ment. The case is that of Etfie
Racy, aged 28, who was sent to the
Home for Incurables several weeks
ago as an idiot. She became
troublesome and was sent to the
Spencer Asylum, but Superintend-
ent Guthrie refused to admit her
on the grounds that examining
physicians stated she WAS an idiot
and not lunatio DR.. Guthrie
states that the authorities at the
home think when idiots become
violent and troublesome they are
transformed into cases of insanity.
DIR Meyers, physician at the home
wrote:
ave know that she is an idiot
and has become lunatic," which,
writes Superintendent Guthrie,
"in my humble opinion is an i'm
possibility, as to become q lunatic
it is necessary that at some time
the individual should have pos
sessed sanity and intelligence.

Senator Jones, of the Democrat
10 National Committee boils down
a great deal of hard sense on the
subject of trusts in those few sem
tences: "The trusts affect the
young men more than the older
men, who have become established

who starts out nowadays finds
nearly every avenue closed to his
ambition, and he sees little pros
poet of becoming independent in
life. In the early days young

sense could soon acquire a compe-
tency. Now he is compelled to
take things as he finds them, and
he usually finds all the economic
opportunities taken by the trusts"
Never were there truer words. The
trusts close to the young men the

The most notable accession to

The growth of the league has been

EXPLOSION
A Big Block Wrecked at
Philadelphia.
GREAT MANY INJURED
Explosion Was Caused BY
Gun Cotton and Collodion.

Philadelphia, March 23.-One per-
son was killed, two were seriously in
jured and about dozen Others were
slightly hurt by terrific explosion
of collodion in the Photographic sup
ply establishment of Thos. McCollin
& Co. at 123 South 18th street yester-
day afternoon.
The dead man is Herman Weiss,
aged 10 years. The more seriously
injured are George M. Nichols aged
%; August Hauser aged 33; Daniel
Reid fireman, aged 80; and John A.
Granton aged 80.
The building was almost entirely
wrecked and the adjoining structure,
No. 121, occupied by V. Clad & Sons,
manufacturers of hotel ranges and
kitchen supplies, was also badly dam
aged by the force of the explosion.
There were many narrow escapesfro
death, as there were over 100 persons
in the Clad building when the eXplo-
sion occurred on the sixth floor of the
McCollin building.
The force of the explosion blew out
the north wall of the building and
the heavy mass crushed through the
roof of the Clad structure, which was
only four stories in height. On the
fourth floor of the latter building
Weiss and Hauser, who were copper
smiths, were working and they were
carried to the third floor with the
falling walls. Hauser was rescued by
fellow workmen, but Weiss was too
deeply buried under the debris to be
gotten out before he died. His body
was found three hours later.
The explosion set the McCollin build
ing on fire and the work of rescuing the
other occupants of the two structures
was carried on with difficulty. Nichols
and Granton, who were employed by
the McCollin company, and who were
badly burned by the explosion, were
taken from the fourth story by fire
men.

MONTPELIER TO-DAY.
Loss from $4,000 to $4,000,
covered by insurance.
Especial to the TELEGRAM.)

Montpelier, March 23.-This city
suffered most serious loss in the par
tial destruction by fire, this morning,
of the beautiful Langdon block, which
was rapidly nearing completion.
The alarm was given at 3 O'Clock
from box ID. The firemen and peo-
pie were aroused slowly, as at that
that hour every one was sleeping
Soundly. When the tiremen reached
the scene the flames had gained great
headway, having fed on the inside
finish, and had worked into the par
titions, etc. The building was full of
smoke, which rendered the work of
lighting the fire much harder. 1t was
some over an hour before the tiremen
could get the flames under control.
The whole interior was badly damaged
by smoke and water. Nine big plate
glass windows were destroyed, and
many of them on the second floor were
broken.
The Montpelier Savings Bank and
Trust company had their rooms on
the corner nearly completed and were
to have moved in April /. These
valuable fixtures and the furniture
were ruined. A. d. Farwell had his
new store almost completed and the
fixtures etc. were badly damaged.
The loss is estimated at $4,000 to
$4,000 which is fully covered by insur-
ance, one half of which was in the
Brown agency and one half with H..
W. Kemp.
This does not cover the delay the
fire will cause in the completion of
block or the damage to the tenents by
the delay. The fire is said to have
caught from defective electric light
wires.

BEST Of THE SEASON.
Chapman--Warren Company opens i,
Barre.

Several repertoire theatrical compa-
MES have appeared in Barre this sea-
son and some of the best in the busi-
ness have been among them but the
best of them all is the reorganized
Chapman Warren company which
last night presented that most orig
inal and amusing of comedies entit-
led "The Circus Girl"
The leading role was played by Miss
Blanche Warren who as the circus
girl could scarcely be excelled. She
is a born actress and is evidently a
good student of her work, her princi-
pal aim being to lend realism to her
part. In this she is successful and
as a repertoire artist she stands at the
top of the profession.
The other principle character was
represented by Mr.. Will Chapman as
Arthur Hummingtop. Mr.. Chap
man is an artist in every way and is
master of the profession of reper-
toire work.
These two central figures were ably
supported by most excellent compa-
ny.
One of the special features is the
high class of specialties which appear
during the performance, before the
curtain rises on the first act and be.
tween the acts.
From the appearance of the first
special to the close of the last act the
people in the audience were without
exception most royalty entertained.
Mr.. Carl H. Carlton, the manager
of the new company, who has effected
it's reorganization, may well feel prouc
of the success of the opening night
for such an entertainment is it's OWL
advertisement, and before the com
pany leaves Barre they will play tt
crowded houses.
Mr. Carlton is theatrical manager
of wide experience and has athorougf
knowledge of the business. He camf
| here originally as manager OF tn
well known D'Ormond-Fuller Co
His courteous manner, business abillt.
| and well earned reputation will assure
him of a success in his new undertak
ing.
