man in inconspicuous clothes who car.
ries a rifle and prowls quietly about

First Insane Asylum.

In 1895 Mr.. William Tuke, Quaker,
opened the first rational asylum for
the insane in York, England. A few
years earlier a Frenchman named
Pinel had made a similar effort to re-
store the mentality deficient to the
rank of human Leings. PinePs plan
was that of nol-restraint, a system
then unheard of and, of course, to be
ridiculed as a preposterous heresy. 1t

companies. were overcome by smoke
in fighting a fire in the Remington
Typewriter building at 325 Broadway.

York hremen have had and never was
there more bravery shown. The fire
was in the sub-basement of the build
ing and for more than two hours the
men fought desperately But for the
heroism shown many would have lost
their lives
The fire originated in an unex-
planned way in the sub-basement
which was filed with desks packed
in excelsior. oil and carbon paper.
These threw off great masses of chok-
ing smoke, which made it impossible
for the men to reach the seat Of the
fire. BY companies the men attempted
to descend into the basement, only to
be overcome by the smoke and the
next detachment was compelled to
carry the unconscious men up to the
sidewalks

eution For Smaller Thefts.
New York. May 14-Details of a
confession made by William o. Doug
las, former loan clerk of the Trust
Company of America, are to the
effect taht. acting on the advice
OF a lawyer, he planned to steal ST.
100000 of securities in order to compel
the trust company to overlook his mi
nor thefts. Douglas has already plead
ed guilty to larceny and is awaiting
sentence. According to his confession.
he first took small quantities of bonds.
and, borrowing money on them, lost II
in speculating. When 1t was evident
that he could not retrieve his losses a
lawyer was consulted, who advised that
the only way out of the dilemma was
to steal S1,000,000 worth % securities
and turn them over to the lawyer. VINO
might negotiate with the officials OF
the trust company for their return.
Douglas understanding was that the
lawyer expected to get 100000 from
the trust company for the restoration
of the securities, which would have
been sufficient to cover the amounts |
Douglas had already borrowed and lost.
