MIR WHITES CATDIDACY.

The political pot has been boiling
over ever since the announcement
was made last week that the castor
of Tax Commissioner and former
Governor Albert B. White had been
cast in the ring and that he would
likely be a candidate for guberna-
torlal honors before the next Re-
5 publican State convention. A COM
motion was noticeable especially in
the camps of the anti-tax reformers
and Democrats who fear the ex-
governor worse than the devil does
holy water.
And we'll they may, for it was dur
Ing his administration and with his
active assistance that the present
system of taxation, by which the

Dear their just portion of govern

made possible. mo man fought

jamestown Exposition Is anxious to
have as many colored people as pos

this end ali restrictions as to race

DR.. G. G.. White came to the Expo
sition and installed the musical ex-

days time, thus breaking the record
for quickness Of action in establishing

ments by Negro manufacturers and

very excellent.

QUEER FEAR MALADIES.

power of ratiocinatiOn. Another step
and he is obviously crazy.
Neurasthenia is called the national
malady of the United States; al lof us,
it is said, are more or less it's victims
One man has "a case of nerves" and a
loud noise makes him jump from his
chair; another man is abnormally ex-
citable and quarrels on the slightest
provocation: another is gloomy and
downcast, no matter what the tempta-
ton to be gay; another hates chill
dren;" another is nervous and cannot
sit still for two minutes at a time:
another has a senseless fear of the
water. All of these men, at bottom,
are Inconsistencies. They are out Of
tune with the rest of the world. The
ordinary phenomena and experiences of
life pain them.
Every man fancies that he personally
is absolutely free OF such abnormalities
and delusions; but, as a matter of fact.
it is extremely rare to encounter a hu-
man being of whom this claim may be
made truthfully
LIVERY man." says the German prov
erb, has his tubercle" We may para
phase that into: Every man has his
delusion.'' One Is afraid of the water
and another of the dark; one fears fire
arms and another sharp instruments;
one hates a crowd and another hates
loneliness; one turns sick at the sight
of blood-and his wife faints if a
mouse crosses the room. These people
do not make believe; they really suf-
fer. If you do not believe IL, consider
your own pet aversion and the pain X
gives you.
Many investigators-parti in
France-have devoted great deal of
time TO the study of these queer aver
sions. They are called by the French
'peurs malades'' (fear maiadiest and
by the Germans "zwangsyorstellungen"
(constraint idiosyncracies). Some Of
them-such as hematophobia, the fear
of blood, and necrophobia, the fear of
dead bodies-are common to the great
majority of human beings. Others
such as agoraphobia, the fear of open
spaces, and folie de doute, the fear of
making mistakes-are happily very
rare But all of them, the less and the
greater, present features of strong in
terest.
Agoraphobia-the fear Of open spaces
takes a. number of forms and has had
not few distinguished victims One
of these was the celebrated Emperor
Heraclfus, who conquered CONSTANT
nople and reigned in Byzantium during
the sixth century. An open plain made
Heraclius shiver with terror, and he
could not bear the sight of the sea-
In his palace he inhabited small, low
ceilinged rooms with heavy hangings.
When he went abroad he Travelled in
closed conveyances. Once, when it was
necessary for him to cross the Bospho-
rus. he mad his engineers build a bridge
of boats bordered on both sides by
walls made of curtains and branches of
trees. Only thus could be bring him
self to venture over the strait.
An ingenious English investigator is
of the opinion that agoraphobia is
dread not SO much of open spaces as
of the surface of the earth. He says

that of an anthropophoe. He believed,
indeed. that it was good for man to be
alone
Monophobia is nothing more nor less
than pathological exaggeration of the
social instinct which is evident in all
of US Dr. Samuel Johnson, the lexi-
cographer, was a typical monophobe.
He had a horror of loneliness. In the
worst phases of monophobia the vic
tim stands in actual horror of himself
and is not happy unless the presence
of others makes it possible for him to
forget himself
Kleptophobia. the fear of committing
theft lyssophobia. the fear of hydro
phobia; pyrophobia, the fear of fire;
toxophobia, the fear of poisons; bacillo-
phobia, the fear of germs; zOophobia,
the fear of animals: insectophobia. the
fear of bugs; stasophobia, the fear of
falling, and pantophobia, a general
state of fear and uneasiness-an of
these have been differentiated and de-
scribed by the experts. The last named
is called by the French folie de doute-
doubt lunacy-and is characterized by
a chronic condition of doubt. The
pantophobe on leaving a room, turns
back to be sure that he has shut the
doors When ordering his dinner he
hesitates between roast beef and roast
ldmD and then changes MS OIOef NAN
a dozen times before the meal reaches
the table. On arising in the morning
he debates whether he shall put on his
left stocking or his right stocking frs.
Whenever he undertakes an act IL is;
with doubt and hesitation; and all ii
all he has a miserable time of 1t.
The essential thing in all these fear
naladies is unreasonableness. 1t would
be unjust. for instance. to call the
burnt child a pyrophobe; the dominant
characteristics of pyrophobia is a fear
of fire that has no basis in an actual or
possible experience. And 1t In the same
with all the other 'ZwangSyorstellun-
gen" The bacillopbobe sees germs in
every mouthful of food he eats; the
lyssophobe is so afraid Of hydrophobia
that he works himself into a state of
excitement much resembling It: the
zoophobe is afraid, not of the teeth and
of them; and the aichmophobe fears,
not only swords and raZors, but also
pins, needles and carpet tacks.
As rule. a fear-malady seldom ap-
proaches the bounds of lunacy, al
though occasionally ii is accompanied
by true Authorizations. A cure is al
ways difficult and usually doubtful
The person born with fear of blood,
of corpses, of high places or of sharp
instruments retains 1t all his life. Only
rarely do educational influences rid him

One OF the things that modern medi-
cine has yet TO do is TO mark out eX-
actiy the dividing line between sickness
and health. At present the whole mat
ter is vague and obscure; and all sorts
OF controversies are raging. To the
layman the problem is sometimes pre-
scented in its simplest form. The hands
of a day Iaborer for instance, become
covered with a hard, horny substance.
He regards It as a natural, normal and
necessary thing. But when the same
substance appears on his feet he calls
the nodules bunions, and looks upon
them as pernicious. Here We have the
same phenomenon viewed from diamet-
rically different aspects. Once 1t is nor
NAL. and the next time 1t is abnormal
once II Is an evidence OF health and the
next time of disease.
Similar problems engage the patholo-
gist constantly. For instance, he is puZ-
zled often to point out an essential
difference between fatigue and illness.
Ordinary fatigue, as everyone knows.
is compatible with perfect health. Yet
fatigue sometimes becomes indistin-
guishabie from pathological exhaustion.
Again. consider the pain which accom-
panies the cutting of teeth. Is 1t to
be taken as a proof or Illness or as a
manifestation OF good health? Yet
again, consider the matter OF hunger.
When does IL cease TO be normal and
become unnatural. unhealthful and
diseasedS
In no department of pathology is
there more furious debate regarding
THIS dividing line between health and
illness than In the department which
deals with the mind. Evidence of this
is furnished almost daily by proceed
ings in the law courts. One aiienist
testifies that a murderer Is perfectly
sane and normal and that he is en-
tirely conscious OF the nature of bis
crime. Another swears that he is alb
solutely irresponsible. As q matter of
fact, the boundary between sanity and
insanity is fence whose bars are
down The most Intelligent man in tho
world is deficient mentally in some re-
spect or other, and the worst lunatic
Is. in some way or at some time. per-
fectfy normal
Ordinarily, Psychologists distinguish
two wen-marked and distinct mental
states between undoubted sanity and
undoubted lunacy. One is called neu-
rasthenia and the other hysteria. Neu-
rasthenia Is a condition marked by ex-
cessive constituencies to ordinary slim
uli. That is 10 say, the neurasthenic is
profoundly and unpleasantly affected
by things or events which bother the
normal man little or not at all In
hysteria this weakness is more marked.
The hysteric is another step forward
on the road to insanity. He suffers
from well-marked decisions and in
many respects has lost entirely his
