Persons.
Lunacy proceedings were today instituted
by the Commissioners Of the District OF
Columbia, through Attorney A. Leftwich
Sinclair, against seven persons, all Of whom
are alleged to be of unsound mind, with
honiicidal and otherwise dangerous ten
denotes, and unfit to be permitted to re-
main at large in the District They are also
alleged to be INDECENT, without property or
estate. The names Of the alleged luna tics
are George Weber, Joachim ]. H. Schultze,
Andrew J. Heilbrun, Seth L. Clark and
Thomas c. kel, all white, and Henry Jen-
nings and Solomon Grant, colored
George Weber is an old soldier about
fifty years of age. He was arrested at the
White House about two weeks ago. He
called to see the President Sergeant Goss
and Policeman Bramlett were attracted to
him by his peculiar conduct, and after ar
resting the unfortunate man, it became ap
parent to them that his mind was I'M
balanced. He stated in conversation with
the officers that the Venezuelan govern
nent owed him 100000. He was turned
over to Sanitary Officer Frank, who had
him transferred to the Insane Asylum on a
temporary permit to await judicial inquiry
into his mental condition.
This is the second time lunacy proceed
irgs have been instituted against Joachim
j. II. SchultZe during the last six months.
His sanity was the subject of an inquisition
before Justice Cole about five months ago.
The proceedings were dismissed, and
Schultze was returned to his relatives, at
their request. His condition has grown
worse since then, and it is stated that his
relatives are unable to further take care of
him and anxious to have him COM
mitted to St. Elizabeth's.
Justice Cole has appointed physicians to
examine the alleged lunatics. The inqui-
res will be conducted in the room of Grim
inal Court No. 2. city hall, Friday after
neon of this week.

Buffalo, Aug. 4.-In tho exhibit of
Southern Railway, intho Agricultural
Building, at tho Pan American Ex-
position u largo painting of tho toa
farm, Summervillo, South Carolina,
has recently been hung. This can
vas is about five yards long and ton
yards wide. Tho border is an artis-
tic arrangement Of tea leaves and tho
effect Of the whole is one of tho most
attractive pictures in the building.
Below this a1c grouped colored pho.
tographs Of "Tho Pines," Flat Rock,

lima, with its semi circle of magnifi,
cont peaks in the distance, the 70.
mantle valley of the Fronch Broad
river and Round Knob with it's foun.
tain IN tho contor Of the picture.
There are other colored photographs
which tell both Of tho beauty and
progress Of Dixie, notable among
which is that of the Olympia Cotton
Mills, Columbia, South Carolina.
There are rows Of glass jars contain
ing the various products produced in
the lands adjacent to the Southern
Railway. Conspicuous among these
are fruits and vegetables from Ten
nessee, sea island cotton from the
Charlotte Oil Mills, Charlotte, North
Carolina, cotton seed oil, oats, wheat,
hay, corn, fruits and vegetables of
every description from Alabama,
Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Ten
nessee, Virginia, Illinois and India
ma, with inumerable photo graphs of
important cities and towns, mining
and timber districts, manufacturing
and commercial conters and of the
most productive agricultural districts.
There is also an exhibit of tea raised
near Fayetteville and Pinehurst,
North Carolina. In short it is q con-
densed exhibit of the marvellous ro-
sources OF the entire Southland. This
exhibit as I write is thronged with
people from every part Of the coun-
try who are profuse in their express
slons Of admiration Of tho manner in
which the exhibit is installed, and of
the splendid resources Of the section
through which this railroad runs. 7
have heard some people, especially
during political campaigns call tho
Southern Railroad "an octopus"
Howover truo or false this may be I
am not in position to say, but here
. on the Pan. American grounds it rep
resents the resources Of the Southland
better than any other single exhibit at
the Exposition. Its practical value
must be seen to bo appreciated. The
woodwork in front Of tho exhibit is
tastefully done in the curled pine for
which the South is famous. The
background Of tho exhibit is VINE
colored felt. Tendrils Of gray moss,
clusters of rich mahogany colored
tobacco leaves, shoaves Of rice, rye,
oats and wheat are 80 arranged
against this bright background as to
h make a most effective ensemble. At
base Of the exhibit there are sew
framed placards containing sem

Formal Opening.

Those of our Douglas and Treadwell citizens, who have not been over to Ju- neau, for week, and have not visited the magnificent new quarters of Kauf- man Bros, have certainly missed good treat. Howsoever, next Monday the 25th, we will have a splendid op- portunity to witness the greatest affair of the kind ever attempted in this countrywide Formal Opening that establishment A special ferry service has been arranged for the even ing, leaving Douglas at 2 and 8 p. m. re- turning from Juneau at 10 o'clock. It is more than likely that the steamer Flosie will be pressed into service, as sn enormous crowd is expected to go over to the opening at night.
 One of the principal features of course will be the Promenade Concert by the Juneau Symphony Orchestra, a new organization, composed of the best musicians. The musical program rendered for the occasion will include overtures, operatic selections as we'll as popular marches, etc, such as have never before been rendered here.
 The entire building will be illumina- ted brilliantly by an abundance of electric lights and the display in each and every department will be of mag nifcent nature.
 To commemorate this important event, handsome souvenirs will be pre- sented to every visitor.
 We would advise all the men folks, as we'll as the ladies, to avail themselves ! of this excellent opportunity, to wit, ness brilliant affair, such as is not seen outside of the large cities. As special inducement to Douglas visitors return-trip tickets will be issued free of charge, by the firm.
 This will probably be the largest rep resentation of Island people, ever assempled at Juneau at any one time

The Law.

Douglas has had hard fight to con- quer an infectious disease and at times it has been necessary for the health otd- cer to adopt measures that seemed harsh and it has subjected him to no little criticism. However, we are confident that when it is realized that the safety of the children was dependent upon just such measures, people will cease to criticise. The question has been asked, "can the quarantine be enforc- ed?" In answer we wish simply to call attention toSec. 162, chapter ten, of the Criminal Code:
 SEC. l62. That if any person shall in- oculate himself or suffer himself to be inoculated, or shall inoculate another, with smallpox or any other malignant or infectious disease, within said Dis, trict, or, being so inoculated, shall come within said District with the in tent to cause the prevalence or spread of such disease within said District, such person, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by imprisonment ID the penitentiary not less than one year nor more than three years.
