old Irshman. was present. In the bath, when the

Old Dan was about to operate on a regular patron

The New Hospital for the Insane.

The Board Of Estimate and the Alder
Of the Sinking Fund to buy the property
between Seventy-third and Seventy
fourth streets, with a frontage OF a block
on Exterior street overlooking the East
River, as a site for a State reception
hospital and ~dispensary for insane per-
SONS. The land will cost $146, 900 and
the plot will be 200 by $50 feet. 1t will
be leased to the State, and the State
Commission in Lunacy will erect the
necessary buildings at a cost of $500, 900.
The new hospital will afford better
facilities for the treatment Of the suffer-
ers from mental disease than any city in
this country now has.
At present persons supposed to be men,
tally diseased who are found in Man
haitian and The Bronx are taken to the
~psychopathic ward in Bellevue Hospital
for observation and are detained there
until released as sane or committed to
one of the State hospitals for treatment.
1t costs the city s27 900 a year to maintain
the psyohopathio ward, and it is esti-
mated that at least SIS, 900 a year will
be saved by relieving Bellevue of the
work the new State reception institution
will do.
Bellevue will continue to receive a GER
tain number OF alleged insane persons,
but they will be relatively few in num-
Der and their period Of detention by the
city short. The money saving Is not
the most important advantage to be
obtained under the new arrangement,
In a special institution treating only
n class Of cases better results can be
expected than in a general hospital, and
this fact has been constantly In the minds
of the authorities.
The buildings to be erected by the
State commission will be built on the
most modern and scientific plans. They
will include a ward for the use Of out
patients, men and women whose oondi-
ton does not make commitment neces-
sary but who suffer from mental troubles
susceptible Of home treatment.
1t is believed by authorities on the
subject that many individuals who need
the care Of alienists but shrink from
going to general hospitals and refuse to
disclose their condition to their friends
oil. family physicians, may be induced to
visit such IN institution as the contem-
plated emergency hospital. In many
cases a patients mind may be saved by
treatment begun when the disorder first
appears, whereas If neglected it is likely
to develop into a serious and dangerous
malady. Not a few OF these diseases
may be cured at home when the sufferer
follows the advice of a skilled specialist,
The great benefits to be derived by the
community from an institution supply
ing such advice and treatment to the
general public are obvious.

Calamity In Iowa.

Only a week ago this column laughed
and sang the good news: PERKINS,
79S; CUMMISs, 1885," High principles
and prices seemed sure to overthrow
the forces of evil In Iowa. The Hon.
LESLIE MoRTIER SHAW had spread
himself and his inspiring speech yer the
State. Happy day for Truth and SHAW,
two minds with but a single thought,
two hearts that beat al one, two lovely
b,rries growing on one stem. The lesson
was not lost upon the corrupt East.
Strong men pleaded with their BUTCH
ers and bakers, and icemen even, to make
their bills bigger. What's the use OF
saving so long a you're happy?
Only a week ago! To-day with shame
and sorrow the reluctant wires record
a mournful message:
"CuMMNs winning in Iowa. Victory In State
convention assured, even II remaining counties
are lost. II he loses all the contested delegates the
State convention will stand: cuMMIss, sl7; oppo.
sition, 7o7.-
If the wheels Of finance could keep
on whirling in the absence Of the Hon.
LESLIE MoRTIER SHAW, ought not the
Hamilton of Denison rush by special
train to the scene Of conflict, rally the
exhausted Perkinsites and strike terror
into the bastard committee by the power
of his eye and the magic Of his words?
1t is too late to do anything for Mr..
PERKINS of Sioux City. DE mortuis: Mr..
PERKINS is a dead one" When Iowa is
asked to put up with PERKINS, she cries
in tones Of earthquake and all the thun-
ders: SHAW! Will the gifted one not
answer her appeal?

Premature Rejoicing rs.

Some Of Dur neighbors have been
gloating owe a report made by the
Census Bureau showing the develop
ment Of American manufacturing inter-
ests In the five years following the
census year 1900. Their citation is
premature and their statements are mac
curate. A more careful reading would
have revealed the fact that the report
was incomplete. The figures for the
most important manufacturing centres
were not included because they had
not been made up in full.
The figures given, for the included
States, for the total value of manu-
featured products were these:
1905. $3.50. ID $3.50
But the total for all the States in 1900
was $1s, 200, l49 ,15e, and the total for all
in 1905 will, in all probability, exceed
S15, 900, 0oo, 600.
THE SUN will reserve its conclusions
until the returns are all in, as 'they prob
ably will be during the next two or three
weeks.

shore Of the lake Of the same name $50, OO0),
Masaya go ,Oo0), and Grenada, at the north
western end of Lake Nicaragua, (25, 900.
The total population, including uncivilized
tribes of Indians, is estimated at about
500, 900.
Nicaragua is rich in natural resources
and in industrial possibilities, but develop
ment has been checked almost to stagna-
ton point by the absence Of transportation
facilities. Her forests abound in valuable
dyewoods and cabinet woods. Like her
neighbors, she produces coffee Of superior
quality. Sugar is produced for local con-
sumption, and might be grown for export IL
it could be more economically transported.
Cocoa and rubber and bananas are ines of
industry which might be indefinitely ex-
tended. Cotton is also among the posi-
bilities. Cattle do well, and cattle raising
Is an important industry. Large claims
are made for the mineral wealth Of the
country Gold is found throughout a wide
area, and the early Indians and the Span
iards Of a later time secured it in consid-
erable quantities by very crude methods,
Silver, copper, iron, tin and lead are also
found in quantities which promise fair profit
to those Who will develop the mines.
Particularly since the decision Of the
United States to cut the isthmian canal at
Panama instead Of through Nicaraguan
territory a larger interest has been taken
in proposals for an interooeanio railway.
There are now somewhat less than 200 miles
OF railway in the country, and aver that is

COMMUNICATION
From the Queen & Crescent
Route and the South
ern Railway.
Atlanta, Ga,
July 9th, 1906,

Colony Post No. II,
Fitzgerald. Ga.
Gentlemen:-Since you are most
ly from the North, no doubt we
have already had the pleasure OF
serving you on your journeys to
and from your respective homes.
hope we have had this pleasure,
for then I am assured of your
friendship.
In regard to your trip to St.
Paul to attend the encampment
of the Grand Army Republic, all
ask is for you to compare our
schedules, the territory we ira
verse, and then make your deci-
sion as TO your route.
The following are few Of the
advantages we have to offer:
1st: You can leave Fitzgerald
1
| at 7::55 p. m. and arrive in Cincin-
natl 7:40 p. M. the following day,
making less than a twenty-four
hour schedule. Leaving Cincin-
natl at $50 p. m. arriving at Chi
cago 7:1O a. m. leave Chicago 900
a. m. arrive St. Paul 1000 p. m.
End: BY taking our route you
go through Macon, Atlanta, Chat
tonoogs, Lexington, KY, Gin
cinnati, O, and Chicago,
| Ill. You will please note
that no other routes embrace
so many good cities, nor do they
cover as much rich farm land as
the Queen & Crescent Route and
Southern Railway. Then, too,
you go through the historic bat
tie field country around Lookout
Mountain in Tennessee. You
will also traverse the entire Blue
Grass Belt, the home of Henry
Clay, pretty women, good wh1sk-
ey and fast horses, and | think
after a journey through this sec
ton you will readily agree with
me when I say that nature surely
has endowed this section with
it's share of her beauties.
3rd: Our road is the only
one SouthIequipped from one end
to the other with electric block
systems, insuring perfect safety
at all times. Our trains are also
the only ones in the South
equipped with high speed brakes.
This means that in case of emer-
gency a train can be brought to
an instant stop, while others will
drag on for one hundred yards,
or so, probablecausing a calam-
lily. Your life is worth a good
deal to you, so why not take adj
vantage of every precaution that
may present itself.
4th: If we can secure suff-
cent number to 60 via our route,
we will take pleasure in arrang-
ing a special car, and one of our
representatives will accompany
you the entire distance to see
that you are properly taken care
of.
5th: The rates. stop-over
privileges, extensions, ETC., are
the same on all roads.
In conclusion, beg to advise
that I will be in Fitzgerald Fri
day Aug. 3, and it will be my
great desire to have the pleasure
of calling on anybody that may
be interested. All l ask of you
is your kind consideration,
Please leave your name with the
Secretary and greatly oblige.
Yours very truly,
