An INSANE llAll,s PATIENCE


During the recent visit OF the legie.
lative inquiry committee TO the East-
sern indiana hospital for the insane
Superintendent Smith pointed out the
only patient in the Institution who =
wearing = pair of leather, gloves
chained to : belt. Such Is this mans
ingenuity that IL his hands were not
fastened the institution would b in
constant trouble, because OF his skill
in picking locks. He came from Cleve-
land, Ind, and was committed because
Of homicidal tendencies, says q Chi.
cago paper. s..s. .# y, .52s55
Three times he escaped, notwith.
standing the vigilance Of the attend.
ants, each time going direct to Fort
Wayne, where he was recaptured. Att
er his third recapture the ''riot act''
was read to the attendants, but .
fourth time he got away, leaving no
trace of mischief behind. Again he
fed to Fort Wayne, and there the hos
pital authorities found him. : ..,% g (,
After his return the superintendent
began quizzing him as to the manner
Of escape, and the patient laughingl1
asserted that it was by means of b
pass key. The patient was 80 elated
over the discontinue of the attend
ants that he was willing to describe
the process. Every attendant: has =
pass key of peculiar make, and he
fattered the attendant to believe that
he could make q perfect picture Of
his key. The attendant humored him
and the patient made two sketches,
one of which he concealed, while he
surrendered the other. Some time be-
fore he had found piece Of case
knife in the yard attached to the hos
pital, and he stole small piece of q
three-cornered file in the engine room.
1t was part of his duty to assist in
carrying food to the patients, and
upon, entering the kitchen he always
complained of feeling cold, and while
warming himself behind the range he
placed the knife blade to the heated
surface. It took two years to heat
it sufficiently to draw the temper
out, and he spent another year filing
the knife so that it could be used as q
key.
Meanwhile the attendants had be
come suspicious that he contemplated
an escape, and nightly his clothing
was taken away and placed in two
different rooms. The guard passed his
bed every half hour during the night,
but he watched his opportunity and
finally got all his clothing in hand,
and after the guard had made his first
round he unlocked the doors and
walked away, refastening them AZ he
passed.
The key is now preserved among the
curios of the institution. A peculiar
feature is that the patient was unac'
customed to the use of tools before
admission to the hospital, and never
displayed any mechanical ingenuity
until he began conspiring for his own
escape.

NO RACE PROBLEM THERE.
New Zealand Ab0rigines Take IN
Active Part in the Colonial
Government.

1.-THE fact that London papers COM
mented SO severely on the expected
acceptance of detachment of Maoris
for service in South Africa," said a
visiting New Zealander, reports the
New York Tribune, "shows ignorance
of the nature and appearance of the
New Zealand aborigines. It is gen.
orally known that they are infinitely
superior to the bushmen of Australia,
but the papers have referred to them
as race inferior to the Indians, who
have not been used in the Boer war
because their employment would have
been an insult to the Dutch AS a
matter of fact, neither statement is
quite true. The Maoris in question
were more than likely half-breeds.
They are not, even when full-blooded,
black, or, until old age, a dark race.
Young Maoris of unmixed blood are
light brown, and when there is a mix
ture of European blood they cannot,
in color, be distinguished from white
men. They are race so noble that
intermarriage has not been consid-
cred a disgrace to white men, and in
this way there has been created a
half-breed people of fine intelligence
and high character. It is we'll known
that many members of the New Zea-
land parliament are Maoris, some Of
them fulllblooded, and the colonial
secretary was at one time a half
breed. j..
"There is no race problem in New
Zealand. Maoris and Europeans live
together in mutual respect, their chill
dren attend the same school and in
termarriage is common. In addition
to the high racial, standing of the
Maoris they have shown as a people
| asgenius for warfare. Before the COM
ing of the white man they had, per-
fected fine system of attack, and es-
pecially of defense. So that they
would have made good soldiers had
Mr.. Chamberlain accepted their prof
fered service, and only the idea of
their being Maoris could have given
oHense, as their color would very like
~ have not betrayed it at all. And
as to the British governments refusal
to use Indian troops, that is due, as
everyone ought to know, to the fact
that England has good reason to re-
frain from allowing her Indian sub
jects to taste white blood. The .su-
perior race idea has to be given a
prominent place in India, and England
would be foolish, indeed, to teach the
rank and file of the Indian troops that
when it comes to fighting racial su-
I periority' has, for the nonce, to re-
tire to the background" -<.@.&2

SORROW AMONG OFFICIALS.
The Government Departments
Everywhere Wrapped I'm Gloom.

a feeling of sadness and gloom pervad-
cd the atmosphere of the Government de-
partments yesterday. Anxiety marked
the faces of the various officials who are
in the city, and upon whom. in the alb
sence of the heads of the bureaus, falls
the burden of replying to questions which
cannot be answered reassuringly.
At the State. War, and Navy Depart
ments yesterday the very atmosphere of
the building was one of deep sorrow. The
telegraph instruments Were kept clicking
from early yesterday morning until this
morning. bringing news from Buffalo and
sending out orders.
The Second Assistant Secretary of
State, Mr.. Adee. received hundreds of
kilograms from the heads of foreign Gov
ernments, the American Ministers and
Consuls abroad, and from the warm per-
sonal friends OF President Mckinley from
all sections of the country and all por-
tions of the civilized globe. Upon him fell
the responsibility of the Department of
State.
The Assistant Secretary of the Navy,
Mr.. Hackett, was at his desk all day,
saddened by the news of the calamity
Army and navy officers, Senators. and
Government officials called upon him and
upon the other ranking officers of the de
partments, anXiously enquiring for news
All other matters received secondary
consideration in view of the attempted
assassination of the President. The
trouble between Venezuela and Colombia
was almost forgotten, and other perplex-
ing questions before the various depart
ments for consideration We're relegated
into the background as result of the
paralyzing blow received in the news
from Buffalo.
Quiet groups of department officials
conversed in low tones of the attempt
upon the Presidents life and of latest
news from the exposition city. Every
message received from the bedside of the
President was seized upon Immediately
and eagerly scanned for some possible
grain of comfort. EndeavorS We're made
to place the most hopeful interpretation
upon the short dispatches from the
physicians attending the Executive. and
every man. from the ranking officer of
the Government in Washington to the
messenger who has been on the main
door of the State Department for nearly
thirty years. prayed for the recovery of
President Mckinley, and was not
ashamed to admit it.
Up until a late hour last night the
Consular Bureau OF the State Depart
ment received kilograms Of sympathy
and coincidence from the crowned heads
of Europe and the humblest American
Consul on some African station.
In all OF the departments of the Gov
ernment the same feeling of sadness pre-
vailed. and all scraps of information
bearing upon the question of the severity
of the Presidents wounds We're seized
upon Clerks went about their duties
with softened footballs, and voices were
hushed though the very noise could

yesterday said:

that of assault with intent to kill.
Mr. Beck was OF the opinion, without
looking up the State law bearing upon
that crime. that the maximum penalty
that could be imposed upon the would-be
assassin would not exceed five or ten
years Imprisonment
