ID SAVE MRS. BRADLEY
TRYING TO SHOW INSANITY
Dr. W. M. Barton, a Specialist, Makes Very Strong Wit
 ness for Defense.

Washington, Nov. 25.-That Mrs. Annie M. Bradley was insane at the time she shot former Senator Arthur Brown, of Utah, in this city on De- cember 8, is the opinion of Dr. W. M. Barton, of the medical department of Georgetown university, and special ist in nervous diseases, expressed at the trial of Mrs. Bradley to-day. Dr. Barton's testimony followed the read ing to him of a hypothetical question, 13,o00 words long, covering the his tory of Mrs. Bradleys relations with Brown from the day she met him to the day of the tragedy.
 Dr. Barton diagnosed Mrs. Bradleys ailment as being puerpural insanity, caused by what he described as the lcontinued assaults upon her nervous system due to the abortions which she had performed upon her
 In explaining why he looked upon her as an abnormal woman he said lshc was interested In things that do not usually attract women, and in- stanocd that she was secretary of a pohtical club as an evidence of her abnormality. Dr Barton was on the stand practically the entire day, and Nv4s subjected to a severe cross-ex- famination ty the district attorney. laided by the government insanity ex- ports, pr. Smith Ely Jelliffe, of New Yorla and Dr. Edward S Brush, of Baltimore. Dr. Barton proved a good witness for the defense. His tesd- mony showing his conclusions as to Mrs. Bradleys mental state was un- shaken
 The defendant came into court to- day looking pale and haggard, evil dently anticipating that, after all, the Iquestion of her sanity or insanity al the time of her commission of the act was the paramount issue in the case While at times she exhibited the keen. , est interest in all that was said, she seemed generally to be in a condition of dejection. As has been the cast thus Tar in the trial, she displayed
 much emotion upon hearing refer. , ences to the love which existed be.
 tween her and Brown as made knowr
 in their letters. While she shed nc
 tears to-day, she frequently bowed Q liner head and closed her eyes for Ions \ lperiods, being apparently oblivious t,
 all that was going on around her
 When the session for the day was ovei 7 her face had a distinct expression O sadness.
 Dr. Britton D. Evans, medical di A irector of the New Jersey State Hos { hpital for the Insane, will go on tn, Estand tomorrow, and later Dr. Charle, z ID. Hill, of Baltimore, medical office,
 of the Mount Hope retreat and St EJoseph's sanitarium of that city / They will both testify for the defense !, For the prosecution Dr. Smith Fl, ( Jelliffe, of New York, and Dr. EdwarC 7 s, Brush, of Baltimore, will testify :. pr. Evans and Dr. Jelliffe were botl
 witnesses for the defense in the Thav
 case, but they are on opposite sides O : the Bradley case.

The modern circus is the lineal de-
scendant of the ancient Olympic
games of Greece. The Romans
adopted this form of popular amuse-
ment from the Greeks. The name
circus" is Latin, meaning a circle;
and 1t was used to indicate the place
in each city where chariot races, ath-
letic contests, etc, were held. The
circus flourished in Rome $500
years ago, and for ten centuries later.
With the decadence of the mistress
of the world came a decline of the
circus in character. and 1t was fire.
quently debased by revolving specta-
cles, such as the throwing of those
obnoxious to the government, in
Guiding Christians, to wild beasts.
Doubtless it was this that gave the
church a prejudice against the cir
Gus, which Is today still held by some
extremely conservative church peo-
pie.
The modern circus has about it
nothing debasing. Mankind has al
ways held physical achievement in
high esteem: its heroes are those
who have done something notable.
Especially is courage, and the display
of leadership on the battlefield, held
in the highest esteem. The military

role of fame. Physical prowess de-
lights the average man, and in the
athletic exhibitions of the circus, the
racing, the display of consummate
horsemanship and so on, which are
the leading features of circus ex-
hibition, nearly everyone, young or
old, takes pleasure-and a pleasure
that is most certainly innocent.
Within the last half century or so,
the circus in America has moved to
much higher plane than it ever be
fore occupied. The exhibitions are
unobjectionable on the score of NOR
ality; the comfort and convenience of
spectators are carefully conserved ;
/ there is no more fear of meeting in
suit or disagreeable Incidents than
there is in attending a lecture or a
theatrical performance. As a result
the old-time prejudice against the
circus as a proper amusement for all
classes. ages and sexes is rapidly dis
| appearing. The love of diversion
and harmless amusement for al
classes, ages and sexes is inborn in
man. To forbid them is to turn
counter to human nature. The CTea'

desire for amusement in manklno

After such a statement we begin to
understand the attitude of we'll
known Newport couple (the o. II.

fifty thousand dollars and she with
an income of three hundred and
twenty thousand dollars, who recent
ly admitted that they could scarcely
make both ends meet on n thousand
dollars day, and were so desperate
ly driven to pay their bills that they
actually issued a statement in the
newspapers to appease clamoring
shopkeepers. Indeed, 1t is a matter
of common knowledge that some of
the richest and most lavish families
of Newport are far from punctlllious
in paying what they owe. How can
they pay what they owe when they
are constantly spending more than
their incomes? No doubt ambitious
people, with only a thousand dollars
day to spend, feel poor when they
see rivals spending two or three
thousand dollars a day. for such
there are and some who might spend
ten thousand dollars a day and keep
within their incomesi Perhaps they,
too. viii soon be complaining that
it is impossible to live properly on
ten thousand dollars a day.

HOW THE RICH LIVE
The Cost of Newport Establishment
BY CLEV VELAND MOFFE

Thus far we have considered chief
ly what is spent in Newport on lux
uries and superfluities but of course
there are also the necessities of life,
and it is interesting to see how much
the fashionable rich manage to spend
on such homely things as meat and
groceries.
There is an old French cook, now
the keepers of a quiet hotel on Belle
vue avenue, who has lived in New
port fol over thirty years, and VINO
the best names in our money aristoc-
racy, the Astors, Vanderbilts, etc.
He has known them all in and out
of season: he has known their chefs
and the details OF their food supply,
and he assures me that eight hundred
dollars a month is not an exaggerat-
ed estimate of the meat bill for a
rich family during their stay in New
port. This includes meat, chicken,
fish and vegetables for the regular
household routine, but not for the
special entertaining. Some families
he says, spend much more than this
thus the meat bill of old Cornelius
Vanderbilt used to reach sixteen hun
dred dollars month. And he tells
of a very rich South American, af-
terwards ruined, whose monthly
meat bill came to two thousand dol
lars. The bill for groceries is about
one-third of that for meat.
It goes without saying that there
is enormous waste in such house
holds and wholesale plundering by
the chefs, butchers, housekeepers,
etc.
A general impression of the cost
and complexity of a quiet Newport
establishment may be obtained by
glancing over the following speci-
men payroll:
