ELKs' BIG MINsTRELs.
The Biggest Event That Has Ever
 Happened in This City.

The Biggest Event That Has Ever
 Happened in This City.
 That the committee which has the Elks' minstrels in charge is going to waste no idle moments is pretty cer- tain from the work that has already been done for the big production in Polls theater on May 2. Probably no lodge in the state will be greeted by so many visitors as will be present on the evening that the Elks sing their songs and crack their jokes. Invita- tions have been sent to every promi- nent Elk in the country to assist the local lodge in this big affair and promi- nent among those who have been nos tified and some of whom will be pres ent on that evening are William J. Bryan, Mayor Harbison of Hartford. several senators and congressman and three governors of state who are near to Connecticut. The reason that so much attention is being paid to the performance and the Invitations this year fs that 1t will surpass anything of the kind ever given by any lodge in this part of the country and as there are very many noted men in this coun- try who are members of the order of Elks they will be welcomed to this city on the day of the performance with great ceremony. Waterbury has never been slow in entertaining visit ors and when they are distinguished ones the entertainment will be more elaborate It will be the biggest day for Elkdom that Waterbury has ever seen end the local lodge expect to spend close to $1, 900 to make the affair one that will be of interest to everybody. Already the members are meeting with a ready sale of tickets and 1t is expected that the house will be tested to it's fullest capacity on the evening of the performance.

Under what conditions is travel of
benefit in the treatment of mental
diseases? This question was under
discussion at recent meeting of the
Medico-Psychological association. DR..
Savage, physician in charge of mem
tai disease at Guys, held that to
move a patient suffering from Sc
we're mental disorder, either from a
sea voyage or other form of travel
ing was very inadvisable. The fresh
surroundings very often caused weari-
ness where the need was for absolute
rest. On the other hand, he recog-
nized that a sea voyage might do
good to one suffering from melan-
cholia due to a love affair or to
failure at examination. Sir Hermann
Weber agreed with DR.. Savage's opin-
ion, and referred to the case of a
coachman who had become mentally
affected. 1t was believed that he
might recover if he were seated on
four-in-hand. The experiment was
tried and succeeded. DR.. Robert
Jones took the view that sea voyages
do not always benefit convalescents.
He said he knew of case of men
tally afflicted patient who was or
dered voyage. When Marseilles was
reached the patient had delusion
that his attendant was insane, and de-
clined to go further with him.-Lon-
don Chronicle.
