INSANE INDIANS
Lack Of Wars and Wild Orgies Drives
Rcd Man Crazy.

Canton, :. b. Jan. At the close
of the first years existence OF One OF
the unique institutions Of the world. the
National Hospital for Insane Indians.
the first data ever collected upon the
odd topic of Indian insanity indicates
that forced civilization is responsible
for much of it.
There is a certain mockery about The
great stone structure that houses three
wards of the whole nation. There is Il
feeling that after every attention has
been paid them, d debt is still owing
those unfortunatcS. For in the indi-
ViLual tragedies brought together here
is TO be found the saddcst of all the
consequences Of forcing the Indian
from his natural life
In the Very first year. half the capac-
ity OF the hospital has been taken up;
III few months the last room will have
been taken. aud additions will be neces-
9ary. But there will still be at large
probably dozens of redskins, hopelessly
insane and the ratio of insanity will
Undoubtedly continue to grow.
There are no comparative statistics
upon which to base conclusions as to
Y.
But the nature of the cases is such
that civilization must have had Il hand
in the undoing of their minds. The
maladies that have led to the condition
Of many Of them are such as are bred
by idleness and dissipation. And
everywhere among Indians. because
their habits have been restricted and
little or no employment has occupied
their time.
The authorities at the hospital. Su-
rcrintendent o. S. Clifford and DR.. J. F.
Turner. assistant superintendent and
physician, agree that chief of all tho
causes of insanity among the Indians is
dependency. Just as among the
whites bgooding over their troubles
and disappointment undermines the
Indian mind quicker than anything else
This is manifested in different WAYS. |
Tut most of these manifestations |
would be improbable or impossible in /
he native life of the Indian. That
orooding should follow when these
ribesmen are denied the employment
p hunting or making pilgrimages and
are even prohibited from inducing in
heir exhilarating native dances. is but
natural.
One of the consequences of the self
entering Of the life of the Indian has
been a growth in domestic difficulties.
Many of the Indian insane have
cached their condition because of
worrying over their family affairs. 1t .

Pensacola, Fla, June 2s.-(special. }
Quite a scene was enacted in the
City Court this morning when r. +.
Morgan. visiting lawyer, was . ara
tioing without having obtained the
license as required by law. Morgan
has been in this city but few weeks
and has been stopping at hotel CON
Quoted by man named ketterer, ket-
terer's son was arrested yesterday Tor
visiting and being in house OF ill-re-
pute. Morgan appeared IN court TO-DAY
to defend him. None of the officers the
marshal or mayor had ever seen the
man before and after the case against
Young Ketterer had been finished. the
mayor asked Morgan for his name.
This was done for the purpose OF Sc
curing a warrant against him Tor DONG
business without license.
Morgan gave IL. looking tnqutringly
at the mayor as he did so. The latter
said that he had convicted himseif OF
doing business without license and a
warrant charging him with such Of
Tense was taken out by Deputy Mar
shall Frank.
Morgan did not like this and when
the affidavit was made known to him,
he asked to see copy of the ordinance
he was alleged to have violated. This
brought on more talk, and 1t was de-
cided to place Morgan in the prison
ers dock, with a view of trying him
at today's court session.
Morgan did not like this proceeding
and resisted against sitting with negro
prisoners At this show of resistance
a policeman used him rather roughly
and this attracted the mayors atten-
ton, who was ready with a stiff rebuke
for the officer, This was followed I'M
mediately by orders from the mayor
to the marshal to formulate charges
against the officer and have him before
the police board on charges of conduct
unbecomiug a policeman.
The oficer was at once suspended
by the marshal and will face the board
Wednesday night.
Morgan explained that he had APP
peared for the boy out of a spirit of
Compassion more than anything else.
and that he had received no fee for
his work. He promised to take out a
license in case he decided to locate
here.
