Albert Beaver of New Castle
Loses His Mind as Re-
suit of Seeing Play.
COMING TO EASTHAVEN.
HE FIRST MIMIckED THE DUAL
ROLES AND THEN LOST CON-
troll OF HIMSELF AND NOW
HAS BECOME VIOLENT.

New Castle. Sept. 11.-When he at
tended the production of DIR. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde" few weeks ago, little
did Albert Beaver. the II year old son
be a raving maniac. After seeing the
show he mimicked the dual character
a few times and became so proficient
as to excite wonder on the part of spec
tators. Soon after he lost control of
himself and acted the part whether he
wished to or not. The attacks came
upon him with the subtleness of SER
pent, and try as he might he was un-
able to ward them off.
The unfortunate young man could
not resist the influence whatever it
might have been. and it was soon dis
covered that he was in an alarming
condition and physicians We're sum-
moned They did for him what they
could. but he became worse and worse.
His raving became more frequent and
increased in violence. In his mad
strength he was demon-like in many
particulars and his muscular power
seemed limitless. With perfect ease
he could throw three men to the floor
as if they had no more strength than
babies.
During his rawlings the members OF
the sanity inquest say he would snarl,
protrude his teeth, clutch at his throat
and make a sound similar to the bark
of an Infatuated dog. During the mild
attacks he would cry out in fright
thinking he saw the devil, and again
he imagined he saw angels near by,
His affliction is pitiable and has excit'
ed a great deal of medical speculation
upon the part of attending physicians
The cause of the young mans afflic
lions is traceable to DIR. Jekyll and
Mr.. HYDE as he had never before
evinced any indications of insanity
despite the fact he had some difficulty
in making himself distinctly under
stood. His speech had been affected
since childhood. He will be cared fol-
at his home until received at the hos
pital at Richmond.

Atlantic City and Ocean Grove
Want Republican and DEM
0cratic Gatherings.
BIDS FORMALLY SUBMITTED
SUCH A SCHEME is CERTAINLY
NOVEL AND 1T MAY HAVE ITS
ADVANTAGES BY THE MUIR
MURING SURF.

indianapolis, Sept. 11.-Shall the
next republican national convention be
held by the sad sea waves?
For the first time since the forma-
ton of political parties in America,
and that harks back to the foundation
of the government, it is proposed to
features of a national political conven-
ton all the attractions and pleasures
of an ocean desort.
Such a scheme certainly is novel and
it may have it's advantages. National
conventions usually are held in the SUI
perheated part of summer in some in
land city, where the delegates are fore
ed to steam and broil without any hope
of relief The national conventions OF
the future may be held by the murmur-
ing surf. where cool breeZes, waited
from some 5000 miles Of ocean, are a
standing invitation to peace and COM
fort. III the delegates should become
involved in a red-ho discussion, and
pet names should be banded back and
forth, as sometimes happens, it may be
conducive to a decorous solution OF the
conventions affairs to order recess
while the conterding factions take a
dip in the brine. A convention by the
seaside would also give the ladies a
show for their white alley. A display
OF gowns and jewels could be made a
side exhibit. and who can say that In
the years to come the national conven-
tion promenade may not become as
conspicuous a feature of national life
as the famous Easter promenade at At
lantic City?

Delicate, weak, nervous women should
especially shun the use of alcoholic
medicines which, from their stimulat-
ing and exhilerating effects may seem,
Tor time, to do good, but which from
the inevitable effects of the alcohol in
shrinking up the red corpuscles OF the
blood are sure to do great and lasting
BARN in the long run. Besides they
peget craving for stimulants which is
most deplorable.
