Iunatic In Court.

most remarkable case was tried be-
fore A supreme court justice In this city a
few DAYS ago. 1t was the hearing on a
writ of habeas corpus of the plea of Ed
ward 7. Russell, a lunatic criminal, that
he was wrongfully detained in an asylum.
For four full days this poor victim of
peeuliarly dangerous delusions-those of
persecution and conspiracy-was allowed
To consume the time of the supreme court.
To DELAY important business. to summons
numerous prominent witnesses, including
justices of the court, the district attorney
of New York and a former governor, and
to ply them with questions which TO a lay
mind appeared to lead to nothing but
cumulative evidence of his insanity.
Russell acted as his own lawyer. His
contention was that he was kept in an
ASYLUM through political conspiracy.
One of the witnesses by whom he at
tempted to prove this was B. B. Odell Jr.,
former governor and state republican
boss Some of the questions put to the
fallen boss by Russell were embarrassing
A part bf the testimony was as follows

other day and organized a Society for
the Relief of Their Desolate Condition. :.
The idea originated with several young
men who found the time on Sunday after
moons weighing heavily on their souls
They wrote to the newspapers about II
and then the organized crusade against
loneliness was started. In discussing tn
complaint of these young crusaders The
Evening Post says:
I'VE have grown so big that we count
in large numbers, not only our income,
hut our friends. We know so many peo-
pie in a desultory sort of way that we
don't know any one particularly well. We
have created so many safeguards against
being bored that we can't help feeling
lonely at times. And that Is the reason
why any one at South Ferry may have
the choice of four elevated lines. the
subway. dozen surface cars, and a
noble municipal ferry, and not know
where to go. What is man In New York
that he should know true friendship-or
his janitor.
"Yet there are thousands OF genuinely
lonely people in New York. The board
mo houses are full of them, though they
are found, too, within the best family
circles. They are lonely. we repeat
because they are shy and their lot is
made all the harder by the very fact
that there are such things as clubs Tor

Its work by reporting in favor of the

tween Fourteenth and Seventeenth streets.
The commission estimates the cost of this

In selecting this site the commission
recommends the closing of Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets, from Fourth avenue to
Irving place. The purchase of this site
probably would bring the total cost of
the new court house when completed up
to $15.0O0.000

In early days every barber shop was
an operating room and the town physi-
clan resorted to bleeding as the sure cure
for all ailments from chicken-pox to
cholera. As a result, many, including our
first President, died prematurely.
The present low rate of mortality Is
due in large measure to the advances
made in medical science and the knewl-
edge of the specific Treatment needed
for each disease known.
There is no disease more common among
American and English people than dys-
pepsia So prevalent has it become that
thousands suffer with 1t half unconscious

their physical constitution and resign
themselves to living on in that condi-
ton.
There is a remedy for dyspepsia, and
only one, recommended and endorsed gen.

use by millions of sufferers, have been
subjected to governmental analyses In

Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets relieve the

the past for state employees to turn in
their expense accounts in lump sums.

This means that the state will no longer
defray the cost of the auto rides, the
theatre parties and the all night carousals

YEARLY TAX SQUABBLE
BY sEWELL HAeGARD.

New York, January 19.-(Speciai,)--
They're going to start work again, or
rather the job of digging the Panama
canal Is to change hands, The first man
To attempt the canal was De Lesseps,
who came with the prestige of suez be-
hind him,
He had an abundance of Gallio con-
fdenoe, but 1t soon oohed away under
The set backs and continual dsappolnt-
ments that beset him In the swamps of
the Isthmus. At last he died of a broken
heart. Next the new Panama Canal conf
pany undertook the task, They went
to work with a great flourish but In
the end they thought they had done well
TO induce the United States government
to give 100000 for work and a plant
that cost more than five times that
amount. Then came President Roosevelts
first commission that did not last u year.
The second commission with Shonts as
general manager Magoon as governor
of the canal zone and Wallace as en-
gineer, had its troubles. Wallace re-
tired under cloud. Magoon was sent
to Cuba as provisional governor, and
shonts found 1t more pleasant in Wash
llS loA lilaAi III
Southern negroes under the direction of
a southern man, Col William j. Oliver, of
Tennessee, will now undertake the job
unless there is some unexpected hitch.
1t is said that Colonel Oliver wanted to
take the work alone but was told by the
government authorities that such glgan-
tic contract carried too much response
Dilty for one man to assume. Colonel
Oliver then took in Arson NJ Bangs, of
ITO
gained fame as the constructor of the 500
canal. Colonel oliver himself has plenty
of experience, He has forty contracts
now on hand which include tunneling
Lookout mountain. damming the Tennes-
see river, and building railroads through
Louisiana cypress swamps.
Much interest is manifested among the
big contractors in this city us to the
way Colonel Oliver proposes to do the
digging They are sure that his plan for
using southern negroes extensively for Ia
Dor will be successful. The conditions in
Panama are somewhat similar to those in
some of the southern states where Colonel
Oliver has done much work. One of the
greatest problems in Panama is the labor
question. Practically the whole working
force on the lsthmus Is black or West
Indians, and the government officials
admit that the white foremen now em
ployed are unable to get the proper
amount of work out of them. 1t Is be-
lieved that Colonel Oliver Is well qualified
to teach them the trick.
If Oliver and Gangs carry out the UNI
dertaking successfully they will divide
$6000,00o to $10,0OO000 and perhaps more
between them.
