NIKE WENT FOR WATER.
That Was Barney's Explanation For
His Friends Disappearance.

Rear Admiral Evans, who has been in
the public eye Of late quite as much as
ne IS ever in the public heart, was asked
oy one OF the party with Prince Henry
OF Prussia what was the most marked
instance Of patriotic action that had
ever come under his observation He told
his story as solemnly as though he was
possessed OF rot a whit Of the keen
sense of humor with which he is credited.
and this is what he said.
On the Indiana once we had enlisted
among our able seamen two Irishmen,
Mike and Barney. They had come
aboard three days after they had landed
IN the country, but they learned SONS
things so quickly that they had ACQUIRED
very definite idea of the meaning Of
the Fourth of July long before the day
arrived, which was something like a
month after We had sailed on our cruise.
1t CHANGED that the two were on an early
morning watch together when Indepen-
dence day dawned and they at once began

seemed 70 realize, you see. that there was
necessity Tor an unusual display of
patriotism
Barney suggested they fire a salute
from one Of the forward eight-pounders.
but Mike feared that would rouse the
entire ship. 'Niver moind, answered
Barney; do We hold a bucket fernins the
muZZle an twill deaden the sound And
three minutes later that gun went off
with such a roar as brought every man
Of the crew out Of the midst of peace
ful dreams.
IT sent for Barney. Now, my man.

And then. says the New York Times
the admiral closes his story with tbs
simple statement. But Mike was never
recovered.

wit-keen- grim and caustic': A certain
parishiOner dealt in old horses, altering
his spells of labor with heavy sprees.
During the period Of depression which fol-
lowed each Over-indulgence John habitq-
ally took to bed, and there diligently
studied the family Bible. During one Of

CREATES PANIC
IN A MAD HOUSE
Flames Cause Thousands of Lu-
naticS to Become TeTrorized.
MANY TRIED TO MAKE ESCAPE
INSANE WOMEN DASH FOR
FREEDOM.

NEW YORK, May pa fire at the
IN New Jersey state hospital for the
insane, at Morris Plains, has
caused wild excitement among the $500
patients. The guards were only able
to restrain them by the most vigorous
efforts.
When the fire was first discovered in
the laundry the patients were hastily
brought together in the yard and sur
rounded by a Gordon Of guards and at
tendants, who held them back wen
they made a dash for freedom.
As soon as he flames were discov-
cred most Of the guards and attend
ants were sent to the various wards to
get the patients out None Of the viO-
lently insane or criminals were in the
threatened building. but the alarm of
fire caused even those whose minds
were but slightly unbalanced to become
frantic with terror. Nearly all the
patients were in the dormitories,
which made the task of getting them
out Of the building much easier. as
they could be marshaled as at the reg
ular drill.
In some Of the wards furthest from

trusted were left. The others were
marched from the building Although
they were greatly frightened, a few
soothing words from the guards paci-
fed them. and there was little trouble
until all were assembled in the yard.
There they again became panic-strick-
en- and many tried to break through
the thin line Of guards.
The women seemed more frightened
than the men, and several times they
led the dashes for freedom. Had there
been any concerted movement, the
whole $500 would have escaped. Groups
Of twenty or thirty would make a sud
den run toward the guards, and the
latter would have hard work getting
them back in the crowd with the
others. This would work the others up
to a frenzy, and another group would
charge toward another part of the line,
only to be driven back.
Men and women used their fists
freely, and several Of the guards were
badly bruised by the struggling mob.
AS far as could be learned, however,
none escaped from the asylum. When
the flames were extingUished the pa
tients were led back 10 their dOrmi-
tories, but for hours they could not be
quieted- The financial loss was small.

Washington. May 2O.-The subject Of
the concentration Of the inhabitants in

ing topic Of the discussion Of the Phil

Mr.. Foraker of Ohio defended the &C
ton of the military authorities in es
tablishing the camps in the Philippines
as wise and proper, and as a means Of
protecting friendly Filipinos from as
sassination at the hands Of rowing
bands of insurgents. He read a de-
scription Of the camps TO show that
they were really camps of instruction
and sanitation.
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts spoke
briefly in line with Mr.. Bacon. critics.
ing the concentration camps and point
ing out the difficulty in getting army
officers to testify regarding the situa
ton. The days debate was closed by
Mr. CIapp Of Minnesota in an eloquent
speech, in which he urged that the
Filipinos ought to be taught to admire
and respect the United States as a ma
ton which always has stood for lib
erty and progress and never had broken
its word to any people, great or small.
