rates was opened at Knoxville last
week, and district clerks throughout
the state received notices to that
effect. Hereafter all of the di-
plomaniacs will be committed to the
Institution at Knoxville instead of to
the insane hospitals, except that Of
Mount Pleasant the women who are
committed asinebriates will be car
ed for. The inebriates at the state
hospitals will be transferred i'm
mediately to the Knoxville institu-
ton of which DIR. O. G. Whilhite has
been made superintendent.
About 100 men were taken to the
Knoxville institute from the state
hospitals. They will be compelled to.
work. 1t is understood that a diet
will be arranged which will incline
drunkards to work instead of doing
the loaiing stunt which they have
been doing at the, state hospitals.
Moreover. they cannot escape from
the Knoxville institution. Hereto
fore this has been one Of the most
pleasant experiences which the in
ebriates have had to regale them
selves with. They have spent the
winters in the Injurious quarters
provided at the institutions, and in.
the pleasant springtime and summer
have been free to wander about the
green fields, and, like the lilies of
the field, neither toll nor spin. I'm

of the great state and it's taxpayers
the drunkards have managed to
have a picnic the year round, and
being committed for inebriacy has
been sort of sentence to winter
excursion. Now the face Of nature
changes for the drunkard, according
to the assurances of the board of
control. The drunkard will have to
work, and once committed to the in
stitution he will not find his opera
tions limited to the room with the
barred window which he occupies,
and work will be required Of him in
the daytime under suitable guard,
Probably it will not now be as
popular to go to the inebriate hospi-i
tai as it used to be, and that the
prediction of opponents Of the insti-
tuition that it would eventually be
regarded as an honor to be an alumni
of the hospital, will turn out to be
unwarranted.
1t is stated that the thirty-two in
ebriates confined here will be trans
ferred to Knoxville tonight. Those
in position to know state that object
ions long and loud are going up at
this treatment, and they do not re-
fish the thought Of entertainment in
a place that savors more of a cell
than parlor, and where they will
be asked to work for their board
