CLUB MEN IN COURT
PREK5 5MTNARY HEARING OF
 ABBOTT ATTRACTS SOCIETY.
City's Testimony Goes to Show That the Court Clerk Assaulted k. 2 Asbury With Brass
 Knuclkles,

Birmingham. March s.-(SpeciaLl l-The preliminary trial of John P. Abbott, Jones Abbott, D. c. Winston and R. c. More field, all prominent and popular young. men of the city, charged with assault with intent to murder on, A. ]. .Asbury, ( well known club man of this city. be- gan this morning before Judge I. H. Benners. of the Inferior Court.
 The little court room was packed to aI,feooe4ian alrnnsA with frtenus Os siIo two gdes. A number of witnesses were summoned and 1t Is possible that the end of the first hearing of the case may not be over for day or two yet. The assault on Asbury took place on the night of March list. near the Southern Club, the elite social institution of Bir- mingham.
 John Abbott acknowledges that he made the. assault upon Asbury and did 1t sin gle handed. The testimony addueed to- day from friends of Asbury tend to show that Abbott was accompanied that even ing by the other defendants in the case. Asbury was frightfully beaten up and it was claimed that this was not done with the fist alone, but with some in- strument. and brass knucks were sug- gested. John Abbott denies that he hit Asbury with anything beyond his fist.
 On the stand this morning Asbury tes- tified that he black balled John Abbott twice in the Southern Club. when the latter was seeking membership. He stat ed also that without a word of warning. while he was looking into the basement of the Athletic Club building adjoining. he was struck a piercing blow by some one. This blow stunned him. He says that he did not regain consciousness per fect1y until a quarter of an hour after wards, during which time he had been taken care of by friends. Dr. Brown was called in to attend the injured man.

mates Of the state insane asylum"
Hobart Langdon said. "Only per
cent of the total had light hair and
only 2 per cent blue eyes," says the
st. Louis Globe Democrat.
1T struck me as a rather curious
fact that dark-haired and dark eyed
people should so largely predominant
among the insane, but the matter of
latitude might play some part in this,
thought; for naturally there We're
more dark than light-haired people in
curiosity, however, thought would
write to asylum authorities in certain
other parts Of the country to see what
the ratio of light-haired inmates was
to those who were dark, and expected
to find the percentage increase in
communities where the total of light
haired was larger, but in this 1 was
mistaken. So am led to infer from
the statistics l gathered that there is
a greater possibility for insanity
among dark-haired than among light
haired people.
"My figures were obtained from six
ty-eight asylums, located in nearly ev-
cry state in the Union and few in
Canada and England. The total num-
her of patients in these institutions was
1852, of whom 7O3 had light hair and
only siXty-siX red or auburn locks. In
other words, 96 per cent of the inmates
We're brunettes. with either black or
brown hair the latter in varying
shades. In one asylum in New Eng
land there was not single inmate
that as not brunette. OF course,
do not know how to account for this,
for am not specialist in such mat
ters and only secured the statistics out
Of pure curiosity, but it certainly looks
as though blondes We're less liable to
insanity than those with darker hair or
eyes. .5.,.
another peculiar feature about the
IactS oottlneu, however, was ute Tie
percentage Of those regarded as incura-
bly, insane was much greaters among
the blondes than among the brlnettes.
The totals show that among the dark
haired inmates only So per cent We're
marked hopelessly insane, while among
the blondes 81 per cent were put in
this category, and that only three
among the red-haired patients escaped
the same classification

THE USE o. LATIN.
Reasons Given for Having Only Uni
yersal LANGUAGE.

versal Language.
Why does the Church use the Latin
language? For these reasons:
1. Because a universal community
requires a universal language. The
Church of Christ is universal.
.. Because it does not change. IT,,
for example, the Church should use
French in one or her formulas alone,
that of Baptism, she would have been
obliged to change it over sixty. times.
In the so-called Anglo-Saxons Of one
thousand years ago she could not be
understood except by experts.
3. Because nothing can equal the
dignity Of the Latin language, its clear
ness or its beauty. 1t is the language
Of science and civilization, and de-
serves to be the language Of an un-
changeable religion.
=. Because it lifts the liturgy Of the
Church above the everyday usage Of
words. which alters their sense and
debases it by Righteousness. This
misfortune has actually befallen the
English liturgy of the Anglo-American
Episcopalians.
5. Finally, a universal language
speaks of universal brotherhood, and
makes Catholic at home in all Ro-
man Catholic churches of the world.
Besides, he understands the language,
though unlearned, by the ceremonies
of the Church, or from his prayer
book, which contains its entire mean
ing in his own tongue.

writer says that "the keys of Egyptian

the Roman occupation of Egypt, when
iron was in general use, keys were
made Of that metal, many of them hav-
ing a long, straight shank, or stem,
about five inches in length, with a bar
at right angles to it, on which are three
or more projecting teeth, with bow
or ring at the opposite extremity. An
other variety of Romano Egyptian key
has a wooden knob in place of the
ring.

ANCIENT KEYS
Made In the Long Ago. Some We're
Ornate and Beautiful.


In the sixteenth century European
ironworkers produced keys enriched
with ornaments in relief and treated as
works of art. Nothing could be more
graceful than the embossed figures,
coats-of-arms and grotesque arabesques
which embellish the bows, which in
this utilitarian age are replacedSby the
ordinary metal rings. The keys We're
first cast and then chiselled by an ex-
pert artisan. The so-called "Strozzi
key" formerly the property of Henry
III. Of France, changed hands few
years ago for the enormous sum of
$4,000. The bow represents two
sphinxes with grotesque heads back to
back, on the capital of a column. The
stem is in the form of two concentrc
pipes; the bit is shredded like very
fine comb. Another famous key dates
from the beginning of the seventeenth
century; the elaborate bow represents
two seated male figures supporting Il
ducal coronet. A third key is excep-
tiOnally ornate: the entire available
space is enriched with arabcsques, ter
minating in cupids. reclining river
gods. a standing figure of Victory and
similar devices. The stem of this key
is supported by figures of a man and
q woman.

IMMIGRATION CURSE.
Insane Asylum in ireland Filled with
Returned Emigrants.

A meeting of the committee Of the
Anti-Emigration society was held re-
Gently at 6 D'Olier street, Dublin, says
the Freeman's Journal.
The question of emigration in rela-
tion to the alarming increase in lunacy
was under consideration, and letter
was read from the inspectors of luna
ties for Ireland. In the inspectors
last report there appears the following
statement in connection with the Kill
larney district lunatic asylum:
I'VE have long commended that the
emigration from this country Of the
strong and healthy classes during the
past half century has led to an it,
creased and undue proportion Of the
insane, us we'll as Of the physically de-
fective classes among our population.
and an analysis of the cases in this
asylum supports this view. Not only
so. but i; considerable number of those
who feel themselves mentally unfit for
the keener struggle for existence
abroad, or who break down in mind
in consequence of the severe strain,
return, or are sent home by their
friends. and so swell the ranks of the
insane in this country. Thus of the
patients resident in this asylum OH the
18th of November. 1902. no less than
80 males and 43 females-represent
II; and - per cent. respcctively-had
been in America.

turned engrants being very large, we
find that the prognosis. as regards the
recovery of this particular class. is I'M
favorable in nearly ever case and this.
| believe. applies not only to Killarney.
but also to all other Irish asylums
Tho medical officers of this asylum
state that among all the returned
cmigrants they can only call to mind
one or two recoveries.'
RoScOnlmOn Is even worse than Kcr-
ry in this respect. The medical super
intcndent of the Ballinasloe lunatic
asylum stated recently that there were
lbs returned emigrants in the institu-
ton who had become insane owing to
the strain and stress Of life in America.
The International Catholic Truth So
ciety of America wrote promising to do
al in their power to further the work
OF the society.

Left us, yes, forever more,
But we hope to meet our loved one
On that bright and happy shore;
Lonely the house and sad the hours,
Since our dear one has gone,
But oh! brighter home than ours,
In Heaven is now his own.
Farewell, dear, but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part, no, never!
On the resurrection morn. 81.
Tho thy darling form lies sleeping,
In the cold and silent tomb,
Thou shall have a glorious waking.
When the blessed Lord doth come.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,

A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last OF foes.
Asleep in Jesus! far from thee,
Thy kindred and their graves may be;
But thine is still a blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are DER,
On the borderland we left him,
Soon to meet and part no more;
When we leave this world Of changes,
When we leave this world Of care
We shall find our missing loved one
In our Fathers mansion fair"
