RELIABLE FARM GATE.
Inventor Has Concluded Not to
Patent 1t.

Herewith are some cuts illustrating
latch which the writer invented and
has been using for several years. and
found very handy, as it is sure to catch
if given half a chance, and be sure to
hold. There is no long snout stretch
ing out to catch in your stirrup or har.
ness as you pass through with horse,
and wish to open only wide enough to
get through conveniently. 1t is the
very thing where you wish to put a
lever on top to enable one to open it
from a horse and ride through. If the
gate is so hung that it will fall shut,
you can throw it wide open, ride
through and go ahead with the full as
surance that it will be shut and secure
~ fastened before you are ten steps

away. With the common latch, which
must slide up an incline, the catch can
not be very deep unless the snout is
made very long. in which case it is still
more in the way and liable to be broken
off. With this one it may be as deep as
you want it.

it is shut the catch strikes that part

it to drop into the catch. which, as

The screws allow the wire to be loos-

catch. If the gate is properly hung this
arrangement will not be needed; but
it is difficult to hang one so it will not

by other devices, which win be given if
desired.

HAD BEEN MAD FOR YEARS
GIRL CONFINED IN PEN.
Parents Hated to Send Her to In
sane ASyIum.

After having been insane for nearly twenty
years. during which time she has received the
loving care of her own family. Helen Hasselhof
was Saturday removed from her home at No.
$40 East ne-hundred-and- fifty -fourth-st.. to
the Chdrens Hospital and Asylum for Idiot
Children, on RandaHs Island. The story is
pathetic one Of self-sacriacing parental love
that has endured through long years. Even now
the mother is heartbroken at the separation
from her child and wishes her back again
The case became known through the fears Of
neighbors of the Hasselhofs, who complained to
the Department of Health that the girl
being confined in a cell or cage and being
Ill treated by her parents. At night and at
times in the day ,unearthly screams were heard.
1T sounded like the wailing of a wild beast"
one woman said. A glimpse or two of the young
woman had been had. too. She wild look
ing and unkempt, with her hair matted and her
clothing torn, and shoeless and stocking
less.
Those who saw this were the occupants OF
fats in the rear of the Hasselhofs little one
story and attic frame house. The case had been
known to most of the residents of the neigh
horhood for some time, as the Hasselhofs had
lived in their home for seventeen years. But
the occupants of the flats were newcomers ard
not familiar with the sad story Of the girl.
DIR. Hurd. the head of the sanitary department
OF The Bronx Department of Health, heard the
story. Deciding that he had no jurisdiction in
the case he reported Il to Captain Byrne OF the
Morrisania station. who caused Detective Muir
tha to make an investigation. Murtha called on
Mrs. Hasselhof and had every opportunity to
verify the sad story the mother told him
Eighteen years ago. when Helen Hasselhof
was a child two years old, she subject to
commissions A doctor who was consulted
placed the child under chloroform While under
the influence of the anesthetic blood vessel in
her head broke. When she regained conscious
ness the child was an idiot. Gradually the
senses of sight and hearing left her and then
that of speech. For the greater part of the last
eighteen years the girl has been absolutely
helpless hut her parents feared to put her in
an institution, believing they could give her
better treatment at home.
Murtha, after his investigation, reported back
TO Captain Byrne, and he communicated with
DR.. A Z. Macdonald, superintendent of the
Manhattan State Hospital, Wards Island
The superintendent advised that the girl be
moved 20 the Children's Hospital. RandalPs
Island, and this done Saturday.
A reporter who visited the Hasselhof house
last night saw the room in which the unfortu.
nate girl had been confined most of the time. 1t
was a back room on the basement floor. about
try window in IT had been boarded up. and
IL was dark In this small room, when the girl
was particularly violent, she was placed. At
other times she allowed to about in a
small shed which communicated with the small
room.
