INSANITY IN THE STATE.

Naked Increase Over Last Year--Mid-
 dletown Institution Overcrowded.
 Hartford, Aug. 5.-The increase of in- sanity in Connecticut during the past year is striking feature of the annual report of the Retreat for the Insane, just issued.
 Dr. Henry P. Stearns, superintendent of the institution, gives some interest ing facts and figures on the subject. The whole number of patients under treatment at the retreat during the year numbered 291, of which 157 were males and 134 females. the daily aver age being 15O. Says the report:
 Tt may be remembered that the num- Der of admissions last year was fifteen per cent. larger than that of the previ- ous year, and also that 1t was the lar gest of any year since 1876, when the hospital at Middletown was opened for the reception of patients. The history of the retreat during the past year in this respect has been in keeping with that of last year: in fact the number of persons received has been one more, and at times we were unable to receive all patients for whom application was made. M.-.4.
 "Of those admitted, 107, that is 93.5 per cent, were residents of Connecticut. This is a larger per cent. than has usu- ally been the case, and larger than eX- isted in the admissions last year. In view of the fact that, there has been an increase in the hospital at Middletown, and in other institutions in the state, it is not surprising that the question is frequently asked as to what causes the great increase of insanity which seems to exist in Connecticut.
 "Again, this year the number of male admissions has been much larger than of females, amounting to 2.
 Eighty of those admitted were re- ported as having had no previous at tacks; 1T as having had two; 6, three; 2, fouur; ?, six; ?, eight. and 12 as having had several.
 Six of these were from twelve to twen- ty-seven years of age, seven from twen- ty to twenty-five; twelve from twenty five to thirty. Twenty-one, the largest in any quinuennial period, were from forty to forty-five; and thirty-four, or more than 27 per cent. of the whole number, were from forty to fifty. This is the period of life during which per- sons usually experience the greatest re- responsibilities, and are obliged to bear the heavier burdens of life.
 "There have been seventeen deaths g percentage of five, on the number of patients under treatment. Twelve of these were between the ages of fifty and eighty years. In five of these old age was the principal cause, and there were four from general paresis.
 "There have been discharged as re- covered thirty-seven, a percentage of thirty upon the number admitted. The percentage of recovery during any period will depend very much upon the extent to which the disorder has affec- ted the nervous system prior to samda anoildtheew eyecass eve causation.

ELlHU YALE PORTRAYED.
(Continued from Fifth Page.l


 wrote to MT Yale in 1718, praying for help on behalf of the struggling insti- tuition, and limiting that if MT. Yale were to give it a real start it might be ntmed ofter him, thereby perpetuating his name forever, the hint and other representations seemed to take hold of Yale's imagination. Accordingly MT. Yale shipped, that same year, 171S, to Boston big quantity of stuff to be sold for the benefit of the college. Nearly five thousuand dollars was re- aIized on this sale. Besides this he for. warded for the college Kneller's full length portrait of George l., and box of books. At the Commencement cele- bration in September, 171S, the institu- ton received the name of ''Yale col lege,'' by which it continued, to be known until 1887, when the General As serlbly of Connecticut authorized the use of the title, ':Yale University"
 In 1721 MT. Yale forwarded five hum dred dollars worth of books to the col- lege and promised to remit one thou sand dollars per annum to the college during his life, and to make a settled provision to take place upon his death. He died soon after, and in the same year, 1721, leaving his will unsigned, and his sons-in-law are said to have re- fused to fulfill his expressed instruc- tions in the matter named.
 MT. Townshend, of this city, is quoted by MT. Palmer as being of the opinion that MT. Yale gave no more money to the college and made no provision for any such presents, because in the last years of his life MT. Yale last $200,000 through the absconding in 171S of Sir Matthew Kirwood, a banker, for whom MT. Yale went surety for the sum named. MT. Yale however, sued out a writ of error against the Crown, so MT ToWnslend finds, and soon after dying, his widow and adninistratrix, Gather inc Yale, obtained a new writ of error to reverse the judgment.
 The date of Elihu Yale's death was July 8, 1721. The end came while he was residing in his London mansion The body was taken to Wrexham and buried in the churc1yard there on the 22nd of the same month.
 Elihu Yales daughter, Udsula, died few days after her father was buried. She left one hundred pounds to the poor of Wrexham
 The book on the "History of Thirteen County Townships of the Old Parish Of wrexham" is replete with extremely interesting data concerning the ances- tors of many New England families. The genealogical facts are interestingly instructively and entertainingly com bined, and MT. Palmer. the author, is to be congratulated upon the rare excel lence of his work.
