Fifty Women Bumsdln an Insane Assylum.

London, January 27.--About fifty
insane patients we're burned to death
by a fire at the Conley Hatch Asy-
lum this morning. The outbreak
occurred in the Jewish wing of the
institution. The flames spread with
great rapidity and before it could be
got under control, five wooden build
ings, including dormitories and the
doctors apartments, were gutted.
Allthe efforts of the officials were
directed in removing the insane in
mates, but the latter became wild,
excited and SO panic stricken that
not only were they unable to help
themselves, but greatly impeded the
operations of those trying to save
them. There were nearly 600 wo.
men in the burned annex at the
time the fire was discovered, and
most OF them were safely transferred
to the main building, which was un-
injured. The officials admit that
about fifty bodies have been recoy-
cred, but it is feared that the full ex-
tent OF the disaster is not yet known.
All the victims were lunatics. Their
charred remains presented horrify-
ing spectacle. The asylum was be-
sieged by anxious relatives and
friends of the patients who arrived
from all quarters. Pitiable scenes
were witnessed as weeping men and
women left the premises after ascer-
tanning that relatives or friends had
perished in the flames. The nurses
had terrible experience in trying to
assist the insane people, who were
so panic.stricken that they had liter
ally to be driven to place of safety.
Some of the lunatics were burned
In their beds, and the charred re-
mains of others were found huddled
together In corners, while groups of
partially consumed bodies on the
site of the corridors showed that
many persons lost their lives and
sacrificed those of others in their
frantic efforts to force a passage
through the flames to the main
building. All the victims were
women.

HEYWARD TALKS
OF Roosevets Charleston kppointment-As 70
Southern Prejudice.

Governor d. @. Hayward has
given his views on the Presidents
Southern policy, as indicated in the
appointment of DR.. w. d. Crum as
Collector of the port of Charleston
against the protests of the people of
Charleston. Mr.. Hayward is con-
servative southern business man. He
employs many negroes, many on his
plantations being the descendants of
his fathers and grandfather's slaves.
He said
"I think President Roosevelt has
made mistake that will shake the
faith of many people north and
south in his wisdom and Judgment.
Misguided and viewing the situation
from but one side, he has done
much to disturb that good feeling
and faith in justice that President
Mckinley caused to spring in south
ern hearts. Was not the Southern
policy of the martyred President
good enough to continue?
"Mr. Roosevelt thinks we are pre-
judiced against the negro, and to
cure us he adopts the expedient of
making him more obnoxious. To
heal antagonism between men, par
ties or races, he would increase the
irritation. To encourage the negro
to attain scholarship and wealth he
would raise him to responsible places
above the white-the whites of the
south who have in their poverty
taxed themselves to give the negro
more education who, other things
being equal, give employment to the
negro in preference to the whites.
"The white people of South Caro-
lima are to-day educating more negro
than white children in the common
schools. The negroes are cared for
in almshouses, hospitals and asylums,
and in all this State not one who is
willing to work is out of employ
ment. None dies from want. Every
opportunity for material, moral and
intellectual advancement that the
negro has had has been given him by
the whites of the South.

AguinaIdo Wants ga Little" Money.

Secretary Root sent to Congress a
few days ago a petition from Agui-
naldo, describing the distress of the
Filipinos and praying for relief by
Congress. He proposes that Con-
gress lend the Philippines $20,0O0,-
600 in gold and give the credit of
the United States for an additional
$8O,O00,O00 to guarantee an issue of
paper money. He also urges the
establishment of an agricultural bank
for the benefit of the Philippines.
While Secretary Root does not en-
dorse Aguinaldo's schemes, he does
consider his description of the con-
dition of the Filipinos worthy of
consideration by Congress, with a
view to legislation that will relieve
the situation.

He was badly mangled.
The smell of blood excited the

the attack. Several men armed
with pitchforks went to the boys

The physicians said had the wound
been lower the leg could have been

If you fake the interest your women

Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents
the discharge Of mucous. This. IS why Pc
runa is called q tonic. Peruna does not
give strength by stimulating the nervous
system a little.
1t gives strength by preserving the mu-
cous membranes against leakage.
It gives strength by converting the blood
fluids and preventing their draining away
in mucous discharges.
Constant splitting and blowing the nose
will finally produce extreme weakness
from the loss Of mucus.

suit, in practice, is pretty certain to
be an additional burden on the tax
PAYERS.
There are several reasons for
this. The city cannot be expected
to exhibit any unusual zeal IN col
lecting a revenue which it must
give way and the school district
can not in making it's tax levy,
make any particular allowance for
revenue which must always be an
uncertain quantity.
Another unpleasant feature of the
practical operation of the new law
is that it will increase kicking and
grumbling. Men usually pay a.
school Tax with a smile bnt kick
like army mules about a tax of equal
proportions for municipal improve
ments. .fN#
On the whole, the law seems to
us unwise and against good public
policy Tribune.
