DRUNKARDS AS LUNATICS.
They Are Flowing Into the Iowa
AsyIums at n Rapid Rate.

They passed a law in iowa last year
permitting the confinement of confirm
ed drunkards in lunatic asylums. 1t
made little stir, but within eight
months 800 alcoholic patients were I'M
der restraint and treatment. An Iowa
dispatch says that inebriates continue
to flow into the state asylums at the
rate of about fifty a month, and that
an Iowa court has just ruled that their
constitutional rights are not violated
by their detention. Some 0 the in
ebriates dont' like to be shut up, but
the treatment they get seems to be
humane and salutary. Their liquor is
stopped and they have to work IN
farms, and are encouraged to improve
their. habits. When they seem to be
cured they are discharged, and report
says that, so far, about SeVenty-ive
per cent of the cases have so resulted.
This seems like excellent manage
ment of drunkards. Men who cannot.
or will not, control their thirst, ought
not to be left at large to get them
selves n others into mischief. Meth
er should they be sent to jail. If they
are irresponsible because Of their pro-
pensities, they should be shut up and
looked after until they are cured, and
while under restraint they should De
made to work for their living. The
Iowa method seems a good deal more
enlightened han the New York plan

somaniacs between Manhattan and
1.-THE Island" An easy, legal method
Of securing timely periods Of seclus-
ion for unmanageable drunkards ought
to make for the peace of families and
the diminution of drunkenness. Men
lave no moral right to be drunken.
If they have demonstrated a danger
Gus and continuous lack of self-re-
straint, some other sort Of restraint
should be substituted for 1t. The Iowa
idea seems pretty sound.-Harpe-'s

THE KING MI P6PE.
Edward Has Not Yet Been K to
Visit the POntiff.

Rome, April At seems that the facts
about King Edward coming to Rome
anG the possibility of his meeting the
pope are that the king has not yet been
asked to visit the pope and therefore all
the means suggested for the meeting are
problematic. The vatican thinks that
owing to the number of Catholics in he
British empire, especially in Ireland
n Canada, the king will not come to
Rome without trying to see the pope,
as otherwise it would appear TO be an
Intentional offense. Anticipation ot me
kings visit there. is now an element at
the Vatican, advocating a deviation
from the ceremonial established at the
time of Emperor Williams first visit,
by allowing the king to start from the
British Embassy, where he will be met
by the Monsignor Stonor, the Canon Of
John Lateran and the highest English
prelate here, who will accompany him
to the vatican if he comes to Rome for
one day only, as seems likely, according
to the latest information on the sub
ject.

CONGRATULATIONS
New York Sun to Major More
head and His Associates.

The Sun congratulates the Hon. Jos.
NJ. Morehead, of Greensboro, y. c.,
president of the Guilford Battle
Ground Association, and the people OF
the Old North State generally on the
recent selection of Guilford Battle
Ground as the site of the monuments
Of the Revolutionary Generals NASH
and Davidson, for each of which con-
gress last July voted an appropriation.
People of several localities urged tlei-
claims with vigor, but Guilford Pattle
Ground was too obviously the appro-
pirate place.
Guilford is the only battlefield Of the
revolution which is preserved III its
entirety as an historical document to
be handed down to posterity. 1t was
purchased by the private contributions
Of patriotic North Carolinians. Tho
alignments of the American forces un-
der General Greene and Of the British
and German forces under Lord Corn
wallis at all stages of the engagement
are accurately and permanently mark
ed. There are an excellent museum OF
revolutionary relics and a fine audito-
rum, where Fourth of July celebra-
lions are held. Over the entire field
there are placed monuments in granite
and marble to those who died ii this
particular engagement, as we'll as to
North Carolina patriots who, like Nash
and Davidson, gave their lives on
other fields in the of American
independence. Guilford Battle Ground,
as kept and marked by the gentleman
Of the association of which Colonel
Morehead is president, is in itself the
monument to North Carolina in the
revolution-a monument such as no
other state in the zone of that mighty
struggle can boast.
It is 126 years since the Continental
congress voted a monument to Cen
eral Nash for his bravery on the bat
tleield of Germantown, where ne lost
his life, and it is 122 years since it
voted that General Davidson be SINH
larry honored for g~allantry at Cowan's
Ford, where he too was killed. The
Continental ngreSs appropriated $500
for each of these monuments. II
Fifty-seventh congress appropriated
SIS. 900 for each of them. But i'll 17T7
and in 1871 the United States was poor
err by a few dozen billions Of d Jilars
than it is now. And as for the delay
of a little matter Of a century end a
quarter or thereabouts, that should not
be charged UP against the republic as
ingratitude. Absence of headlong i'm
petuosity is the way to express IL.
But the monuments are a certainty
at last and now let Colonel MoTehead
at their unwilling get up such a reson-
ant, rousing, reverberating Fourth of
July celebration as even Guilford Bat
tie Ground-long noted for enthusiasm
and oratory on hat glorious day
never has seen eQualed.-NeW York

How MilliOnaires Live.

The element of the unknown enters
most largely into the fascination with
which children read their fairy tales
and grown ups the m~illfonaire's life
story.
Miss Mary Elizabeth Garter, who las
been behind the scenes-who, indeed,
has seen the trusted scene shifted for
many a millionaire's daily household
play-has written a book, and the title
and subject matter can hardly fail to
secure for it a wide reading.
AS experimenting houSekeeper Miss
Carter was for many years the proved
and trusted manager who made the
wheels go around without creakluG rr
clogging in the palatial homes Of the
Vanderbilts. The Sloane girls grew up
from childhood to womanhood under
nursery maids and governesses select
ed and managed by Miss Carter. The
beautiful entertaining for which Mrs.
Elliot F. Shepard used to be famous
owed much to Miss Carriers supervfs-
ing. Her sister held a similar posi-
ton with Mrs. William H. Vanderrj;
until her death, and both ladies have
had the oversight of wealthy Phi1a-
~delphians' establishments whose pedi-
greed owners ask: "Who are these

1t is. therefore, with full authority
in all the social mysteries hat Miss
Carter uses prints black-and-white

ing snowy heaps of d~elicately .intcd

upon the ubiquitous sachet, are my

Five Cents for the Prayer.

An amusing story is told of the Rev.
H. S. Thrall, one of the pioneers Of
Methodism in Texas. In company with
a number of itinerants who were on
their way to conference, DR.. ThraIl
stopped to spend the night with an
Ole farmer. 1t was the custom hen to
settle the bill at night, so that they
might rise about 8 o'clock in the morn
ing and ride a good way before break
fast and lie by in the heat of the day.
DR.. Thrall, acting as spokesman of the
party, said to the old farmer after
supper: we are a company of Meth
odist preachers going to conference. II
you will get the family together we
will have prayers with you" After
rayer one by one settled his bill. DR..
Thralis turn came, and he asked for
his bill. The old farmer replied: "Well,
pa'son, / charged the rest 25 cents;
but bein' as you prayed for US SO good
1 won't charge you but 20 cents." The
brethren had the laugh or DR.. Thrall.

A Walk in the Country.

When Senator Penrose jQurned to
Harrisburg to see the governor, he was
disappointed in finding him not at ON
The governor had wisely taken advant-
age Of the fine afternoon to go off for a
walk in the beautiful meadows that
border the Susquehanna to observe and
enjoy the awakening Of spring. He mas
not lived SO lonS IN town as TO nave be-
come unresponsive to those early signs
of natures returning activity that
the pulses of the country .ad,
and thaI appeal not less to h poetic
sensibilities of the mature man. From
the painful study of ill-drawn statuteh
n a suspicious search for legislative
snakes, it was both a physical and a
moral refreshment and stimulus TO
wander away to the lowlands that
show the earliest touch Of spring. where
the catkins are building or the alders
n the swamp cabbage puts up its
Acknowledgment bud and strange
forms of life appear along the little
streams
! The practical. city-bred senator had
no patience for such philosophy. He a
scarce patience to wait for the philO-
sopher's return. He had come on bust
ness of the "Organization." There
were bills to be signed, offices ID be
created, riends to be rewarded and
enemies punished, votes to be gained,
was this a time for botanizing, for
listening to the blackbirds' chatter?
Small wonder if the senator was an
noyed.
The historians touch lightly upon the
chance meeting of the two statesmen in
the street, as the governor was return
ing from his walk and the senator had
missed his train. Their colloquy was
not for the public ear. But one may
| readily imagine the senator's mon
strances against the spirit of scientific
inquiry, so dangerous to political faith
and obedience, and n may equally
imagine the benignant smile with which
/ the amiable naturalist listened-and did
not change his mind.
1t has not been recorded that the

Senator Quay extend to his colleague,
and it is very doubtful if he has &C
knowledged the latter's title to IN
i struct aim in his duty. If the enaIo
wants a clerkship or other petty ap-
pointment for a friend, there is no
doubt that the governor will be hafDy
to oblige him. With any lawful and
reasonable plans for the promotion of
party prosperity he is not likely to IN
terfere. In responsibility for public leg
islation be has been showing q healthy
capacity to use his own judgment
which is probably as incOmprehensible
and ex~asperating to the senator as a
disposition to wander in the feds,
when he might have been consulting
about plans of the Organization ard

THE POLICE REBUkED.
Justice GaynOr Very Plain in His
Criticism of the New York Force.

New York. April 4.-Supreme court
Justice Gaynor today in holding for
trial. Police Captain Summers Of
Brooklyn, on a charge OF oppression
scored the police in unmeasured terms.
The police have no power over any
one in this country" he said. The
worst crimes are the illegal acts of the
police. There is no ~OutlaWry in this
country. In willing to admit that
there IS care playing in all clubs, high
and low, rich or pOor and that they
play for, stakes, which is illegal. The
police have no more right to go into
this club than to the Montauk OF
Brooklyn clubs"
a tobaCcOnist secured a warrant
from Justice Gaynor. acting as a mag
istrate. some time ago on the allega-
ton that Captain Summers was in
juring the tObacconists business by
having detectives posted in and near
his store during certain days. on the
representation that there was a pool
room up stairs and that patrons of the
pool were passing through the
cigar store. Three detectives were held
with the captain.

Litany Made Easy.

Apropos of Lent, says the New York
Mail and Express, a careless young
girl who has been making a retreat
at one of the converts casually men
toned that she had recited the Litany
of the Saints fifty times in one after
noon. h ELECTED a protest, as the
Iitany is a bit elaboraue-made so b.
the response, Pray for u.s." which
must follow the utterance of each holy
name in the long list of saints.
Surely, Laura, you didn't recite the
Lltany fifty times" remarked a s1eD-
teal aunt.
WELL" explained the ingenious
maiden, you see, I don't say it the
way other people do. Instead of re-
peating all those names, 1 just say.
All the saints on this age pray for

That Awful SWINGING Door,

Did you ever said the jolly little
woman in the corner, have to strug-
gle madly with those awfully heavy
swinging doors most of the shops are
cursed with? Few stores have boys to
open them for one, and even when the
boys are there half the time they do
not seem to see you.
During the holidays I did some
shopping in one of the big department
stores that had signs asking your con-
~sideration for their employees by TAX
ing home as many bundles as possible
yourself. Well, I did go, and in tryipg
to get out had a fearful tussle with
the door.
Nov, right back of me was 4 wo-
man with both arms free, and she
seemed to take a great interest in my
heroic struggles, but made not the
slightest effort to help me. Just as
soon as L had the door open enough to
admit the passage of myself and my
bundle that woman squeezed right
through. knocking several of my pre-
c1ous parcels to the ground. If + had
been a man I should have INDUCED in
strong language. AS it was, I could
only say things with my eyes. After
that L was careful to look, and if !
saw tina trick worked once 1T was
worked ten times in the. afternoon. L.
may be a mania Of some sort, for I saw
one woman do the same thing three
times in n store. She would get out
one door and come back again, watch
for a woman loaded with bundles, wait
until h unfortunate creature had
opened the door, then squeeze through,
knocking parcels all over the place.
