DIR. RAY MAKES A STATEMENT.

Another scandal more horrible
than any Of the preceding ones has
come to light in the Western Asy-
lum. II occurred a week ago, but
the facts we're of such a character
that they could not be suppressed
aud the whole sickening story leak
ed out yesterday. A femalepatient
has been seduced since she was
committed to the Asylum Is months
ago, and on last Tuesday night
gave birth to a girl baby that is
still alive and healthy, The poor
victim is Miss Bette Smith,
daughter of Mr.. Geo. w. Smith,
whose character was above re-
proach before, she was placed in
the Asylum. She is about IS years
Of a &c and had been feeble-minded
all her life from attack of fever
in childhood Up to the Spring Of
1901 she made her home with Mrs.
John Young, her sister, il this city,
who guarded her with a sister S
tender care. She had no male Wis
itors and there had been no shad-
ow on her virtue. Fifteen months
ago her mind grew more unbalanc-
ed and her family thought it best to
send her to the Asylum to be cared
for.
Mr. John Young, her brother-in-
law, was seen yesterday by rep

Young, went to the asylum about
month ago and discovered the girls
sad plight. She demanded of the
female attendant to know how it
happened, and was told that one
day while she was asleep Miss
Smith stole her key and got out and
came in contact with a male pa
tient. Mrs. Young was not salts
fed and went to DR.. w. w. Ray,
the superintendent, and was told
by him that he did not know how it
occurred. Mrs. Young talked the
matter over with her husband and
they concluded that the matter had
better be kept from her father for a
while, as he is a dangerous man
when aroused and would be sure to
give somebody serious trouble, Mr..
Smith was allowed to leave without
knowing of the horrible state of af-
fairs. Mr.. Young further says
that the girls sister was not noti-
fed of the birth of the infant, but
that she only learned of it when 1t

gus jewelry is worn among the 400
of New York city, the vogue for arti-
fetal jewelry having begun about two
seasons ago. This is said to be espe-
cially the case with pearls, perfectly
matched ropes being exceedingly diff
ficult of procurement. The limitations
are indistinguishable from the real ex-
cept under a glass, and sien only to
the eye of an expert. The demand for
such ornaments of late has become SO
great that nowadays first-rate prices
are obtainable for them. and. of course,
tn. best workmen are engaged in man
ufacturing them. 1t is roundly stated
that nine-tenths of the pearls now
worn in New York are bogus. Imits-
tion diamonds and rubies are also
quite common. but not SO much so as

Taxes in European cities.

People in the United States who are
grumbling about high taxes should
find much consolation in the knowl-
edge that their property is not situated
in any of the European capitals. In
Berlin, for example. the great Ameri-
can life insurance companies are re-
uuired to invest a certain portion of
their assets in city property. and their
taxes, which are no higher than those
of other real estate owners, amount
annually to moro than one-third of
their receipts from rentals. In Vienna
taxes are even higher. The man who
owns the building in which the Ameri-
can legation is located divides the rent
with the government in equal shares
The same rates prevail in other large
European cities.
