NEW YORK, Moy 2.--Believing him

Patrick III Collins, who for tho last
few days has lived at the IrvIngton
Apartment Hotel, at No. 40S Central Park,
West. walked into the reception room OF
bellevue Hospital yesterday afternoon,
asked to see physician, and when Dr.
Packer stepped forward said:
IL wish you would examine mo and
tell me whether or not I'm going crazy"
Recovering from his shock, Dr. Packer
questioned his strange visitor and this
was the answer he received:
II have reason to believe / have hyp-
notc mania and l want to find out
whether have or not If ! am going
mad / want to be taken care or. LOOK
me over and tell me, Will your? E

"DETAILS OF the U. s. Battleship's
Explosion.

L
We were fortunate last week to be
sole to give our readers news of the
aisaster to one of our own ships, the
Missouri, as well as the Russian
catastrophe. This was by telegram,
received just before going to press.
we now give in detail the accident to
the Missouri, whose captain is a
orother-in-law of President l,ooseyeit.
Ihe ship was not DESTROYED, as at
hrst thought, but was badly damaged.
That the newest battle-ship of the
navy had a narrow escape from both
oeing blown to pieces by the eyplo-
sion OF a magazine and also being
Geached, has come to light. Capt.
William ). Cowles prevented the lat
ter when the vessel was within 25O
yards of the beach by giving orders
mat the ships course be changed
Chlef Gunner's Mate Monson saved
the ship and lives of over GOO men
10y jumping into the open magazine
and closing the door behind him.
Expert turret officers say that the
explosion was the result of blow
BACK, known as the wind blowing the
flames back from the muzzle of the
gun and through the open breecb
thus igniting the powder charge
being hoisted. So rapidly was the
gun being fred that it is thought
some of the fire remained in the bar
rel and thattthe powder being ho,,t-
ed ignited.
1t is stated that when the officers
heard the explosion in the turret and
saw the fire leaping through the top
they realized the hot magazine might
explode, and headed the ship for the
beech, intending TO beech her if DOS.
stole before the explosion. Capt.
Cowles quickly stopped the plan and
put the ship back to sea.
When the first explosion occurred
In the turret the man in the handling
room knew in an instant what had
occurred. The big magazine door
vas open, and standing against it
were four charges of powder. With
out a moments hesitation Gunner's
Mate MoDson showed these aside and
jumped into the magazine, pulling
the door closed after him. The
magazine was totally flooded with
water and when the men opened the
door they found Monson barely alive.
water having reached his neck.
The damage to the battleship is
considerable. In addition to the am
munition ruined by the magazine
being flooded, which will amount to
thousands of dollars, the aft turret
is also badly injured, the top being |
burned away and all brass work
melted inside. The hoist is a char |
red mass, and the mechanism of the
guns completely ruined. The esti- |
mated damage caused by the explo-
sion will reach $4,000.
The total list of dead now num-
hers thirty-two. There were no sur.
Vlvors among the turret crew.

EDITOR CITIZEN:

HDlIOk OITIZEN:
On visit through the Nor
thern Neck, where my mothers
ancestors dwelt a hundred or
two hundred years ago, / naturally
feel an interest in its affairs of today
and desire the good of its present in
habitsnts. Hence l regret to see
that some of its press has walked
into the trap that Roosevelt, the jew.
laid. Hereafter when Southern
people object to the appoin tment of
the mulattoes, Quadroons and octo
rooms to office among them they will
be told that their sympathy for the
yellow Japanese and against their
own race, the Russians-the purest
stock OF the white race-proves their
objection to be based on jealousy or
to be mere wbim. l notice that
you reproduce from the Baltimore
american the statement that there
Is no religious federation in Rus
ala. Nobody knows better than
the american that this is not true.
for many Lutherans of German de-
scent are coming from Russia to this
country through Baltimore steamship
lines solely to evade military service.
And there are thousands of Moham-
medan Russian subjects. The pur-
pose of the persistent misrepresen-
tation of Russia by certain CITY
papers is to prepare the public mind
for Roosevelt's plan to drag us into
the war as Eugland's ally, Japan
being merely England's skirmisher.
They are following, in the main, a
plan outlined by Rothschild in Black
woods magazine, June 1856. AS
the Boer war proved highlands de.
genercy they look to us to furnish the
lighting men. Japan would never
have gone in to it alone, for alone ulti.
mate defeat would be certain.

after mutual explanations-he is not
tit to be the head of family, and
the sooner he turns his kids over to
some orphan asylum the better il
will be for the little goats.
1t is also great mistake for par.
enss to allow children to 60 to school
and to stop school when they like, OF
for the little shavers to say what
books they will and will not study.
On general principles, stand by your
chlldren's teacher, and with kind
hrmness make them bend to the
discipline. If You will not do this
turn them loose upon the commons
and some day watch them exist as
Jail birds. There may be exceptions,
rare, when the teacher is not what
he or she should be. When this il
determined-not by your judgment
alone. but by general consent-take
the children and place them under
another.

SOME SCHOOL TALK

/. c.Rhiladelphia is being aroused to
the abuses caused by "cramming'
with too many studies.
.saeachers have to use much discre.
ton in this respect. The Young
Idea Is too tender to stand much
shooting. If overtaxed it will be
bent and become warped tree.
At the same time there is probably
more danger from the meddlesomeness
OF parents in the matter of how, what
and when their children shall study.
Very, very few children in the ages
past-this one may be an exception;
pardon u doubt-ever had a concep-
ton as to what they ought to do and
how 1t must be DONE We all were
inclined to think our instructors
harsh and overbearing, particularly
IN the matter of studies assigned.
IT we were given page in spelling
we were of opinion that half a page
was enough. In schools where a
half page was given the scholar
thought the half of half page
would have sufficed; and go on down
the line. The parent at home has
the tale of woe poured into his ears.
and unless he is of the right calibre
sooner or later-with some it is at
first impnlse-the pater or mater
familias hnstles off to interview the
teacher. Usually the parent is
"chewing the rag" all the way to
school, and upon arrival launches
forth into high language and invec-
q tives that in most cases raises a
barrier Immediately to fair under
standing of the situation. I'VE
might enlarge OF this picture, but
wig say more? The impression
has been growing on rs year by
year that there are more of us old
fools In the world than the Law
should allow.) la plain terms, the
parent who always sides with the
child is doing the child irreparable
injury; and when that parent gets mad
at the teacher without a just reason
which can only be determined
