WITHOUT NATURAL AFFECTION.
from Newark Newsl.

One Ct she most noticeable, and, at the
same time, one Of the most deplorable fea-
lures OF the report of DR.. FeltY, for while
acting medical director of the State Hospi-
tai for the Insane at Trenton. is his state
ment that the number OF aged, helpless
persons admitted to the hospital is on the
increase.
'sPublie sentiment" SAYS DR.. Felty, ''is
being educated to consider the hospital as
place Of refuge for persons whose minds
have been impaired by the various ailments
incident to old age, whose care and keep
ing must be custodial rather than remedial
As long as this condition continues the
death rate must increase and recoveries de-
crease in corresponding ratio" And when
the death rate OF such an institution is high
| il discredits the hospital, reflects on the
efficiency Of its smethods, awskens suspic-
ions, destroys the faith Of she inmates in
its curative powers and thus tends 80 inter
iere with reasonably expected results.
For soms years past complaints have been
made, TO the effect that in both she State
hospitals aged men and women are lodged
who ought not 80 be there, and whom it is
cruel to send there. They are not insane
in the proper sense of the word. They are
simply aged and infrm people who have
lost their faculties and their usefulness.
They cannot be cured for she simple reason
that they can never be made young again.
Children without natural affection are
responsible for crowding the asylums with
shese pitiable persons. Men and women,
who could, with little sacrifice, take
reasonable good care of their aged fathers
or moshers, are cold-5looded enough to
send tbem 80 institutions, and not always
as pay patients, either. They forget the
sacrifices made for them in the years gone
by; they overlooked the expense they were
80 the ones who are now aged and unable to
care for themselves, so they make affidavit
shat their decrepit relatives have no means
and then ship them 50 she hospitals to be
cared for by the State.
In Bayonne recently, when an aged
INDECENT man appeared before Recorder
Lazarus. that judicial funcsionary called
the mans FIVE big sous before him aud
made each of them give security to pay she
old man a specified sum each week. II she
same kind of treatment is possible it is ex
acsly what ought to be done with these
people who send their relatives TO the in
sane hospitals to get rid of them.
II every such case was eliminated the
percentage of insanity might be found to
increase less rapidly than is annually re-
ported. But, according to the hospital
reports, public sentiment is being educated
to treat the aged with such irreyerence,
disrespect and actual cruelty. All the
more reason why such education should be
checked at once, and the best way to check
il is TO compel those who are guilty Of the
wilfui, unnecessary incarceration Of their
parents or other relatives to take them home
and take proper care OF them.

John G. Peters a Suicide

Last Monday Woodbury. was shocked by
the news that John G.. Peters, young man
we'll known here had taken his own life at
his boarding place in Philadelphia. MIR.
Peters spens his summers in Woodbury. and
took an active part in the Country Club
base ball team, and other sports. On Feb
ruary l2, he and his vile, who was Miss
Florence L McCandiess, were two of the
principals in double wedding, at the home
Of she brides mother, Mrs. w. A. McCand
less, 1884 Chessnut street.. The other couple
was Thomas a. Folwell and Miss Julia M.
McCandless.
Mr.. Peters and his wife were staying at
the McCandless home few days, prepara-
tory 30 taking up their home in this city.
Monday morning, at Z. 80 o'clock, Peters
left the third STORY room occupied by him
and his wife, kissing she latter as he de-
parted. He was only partially dressed and
was supposedly going to the bath room on
the second floor.
In the back room the family had on dis
play she numerous presents received by she
brides on the event Of their wedding. On
q table lay 32-calibre revolver, concealed
in such way that it could be gotten by
member OF the household if q burglar was
discovered
Peters took this revolver, went into an
adjoining room aud closed the door and shot
himself sh:ough the mouth. The only mo-
tive that has been ascribed is thas he was
seized with suicidal mania when he saw
she weapon
Nobody heard the report and Peters was
discovered half hour later by his mother
in-iaw.
AS yet no reason can be assigned for this
strange act.

sand the same as in the field TO see which
would produce the most healthy stalks; be
thought it would pay every farmer to test
| their seed corn as it only took nine or ten
ears Of good corn 20 plant an acre, and il
one ear was not good it would be quite a
loss.
The next was very good recitation by
Anna Coles, entitled "The Painter of
Ssville.n
A very interesting report of the State
Board Of Agriculture was then given by
Mason Carter
| QaestioD-''Do farmets ever demand the
enactmens Of any State or National laws
that are detrimental to other industrial
pursuits ?" Edmund T. Ridgway, S. S.
| ConOver
Mr. Ridgway thought that the farmers
did not, that the oleo bill and purs food
law were detrimental 10 some, yet were a
benefit to the masses.
Mr. Conover said, that all laws urged by
the farmers were good laws bat that he did
not want to be misunderstood by the peo-
pie. Some of the laws were luxurious to
other industrial pursuits, for instance, the
cleo bill was injurious 10 making Of oleo-
margerine. The PARCELS posi- would be in
jurious to the express companies, trolleys
carrying freight were injurious 80 railroads.
|
the local opsion bill, known as the Crosby
bill, would be Injurious TO the saloon keep
ers, and the saloon keepers realized the
fact and were sending ous pamphlets
stating what agricultural products were
made into beer, etc. But these bills
were all good bills and that 'righs is
stronger than might, and rights must
triumph
Next was comic song by D Winfield
Sithens, who won the applause Of the
house.
Question-''Are our young girls of to-
day as well trained TO make skilled house
wives and home makers as the girls Of
fifty years ago?'' Beuiah D Gardiner,
Thomas Borton, I. Edwards.
Mrs. Gardiner said she would not want TO
be considered below she standard OF what
her mother was at her age; shat all skilled
housewives were not good homemakers; a
housewife SO skilled thai paper or maga
zine was never out Of place, that her cook
ing was always just right, was slave 80
her home and nos good homemsker
Thomas Borton was not present. Mrs
Edwards said according TO some of the
older women there were good homemakers
and housewives several years ago and if they
were given some of the newer implements
TO work with, would become badly con-
fused, and that there were more things TO
prepare to-day, bns shat the girls Of to-day
would be able to stand the test OF the bet-
ter half bad chosen wisely.
Several of the sisters were called on
among them Mrs Crispin, who said,
with the better school, better advantages
in every way to broaden their minds, the
giIls of to-day would stand she test, as
well as girls fifty years ago.
The program was closed by music by
Edith Sfeading
The meeting then adjourned to meet at
Micklrton in June Ninety three people
were presens.

PRINCIPLE FIRST AND
PARTY AFTERWARD.

From Estancia News.
The platform of the New Mexico
Democrats, published on another page
of this issue, contains some excellent
planks. The system of nomination of
candidates by popular vote is the best
that has been practiced anywhere as
yet. Nominations made by political
bosses are too often not made on ac-
count of the fitness of the candidate
for the office, but as a sort of recon-
pense for some service rendered the
bosses. Our readers have not forgot
ten the fragrant aid open violation
OF law at the general election held
two years ago. when a number of our
citizens we're defrauded of their right
OF franchise by party bosses. Fixed
salaries o county officers would
bring about a better class of work at
less actual expense to the taxpayer.

After that two or three scores were
made Ernest Burns caught one inn

the fourth inning he realized that
Roswell was too far behind to win,
and put Holstein in the box and went
behind the bat. Holstein surprised all

ing some of Hagerman's best hitters
and allowing but one hit in five inn
ings. But the change came too late.
Hagerman secured eight hits in all
and Roswell but five.
RosWelPs weakened team was
strengthened upon leaving Hagerman
by three of the best players of that
team, Hare Walker and Wrenn. Co
ing to Artesia with these players the
Roswell boys should have an easy
victory today. Roswell plays at Dex-

HAGERMAN WINS AND
CINCHES LEADERSHIP.

Hagerman defeated Roswell in the
base ball game at Hagerman yester-
day afternoon, s to 8, and by so do
ing has "cinched" the leadership in
the Pecos Valley League for the sum-
mer. 1t was Roswell's chance to even
up its percentage of games won with
the leaders, and the defeat practically
puts Roswell out of the race. Hager-
man has a team which, if kept in
tact, will no doubt win a great ma
jority of games played with all com
ers in the Pecos Valley. While Ros-
well can do likewise, except in the
case of Hagerman, it seems that the
locals cannot possibly bea the boys
from "Teepletown." Only one more
game has been arranged with Hager-
man, on July 4, and even though Ros-
well should win then, the victory
would not permit them to catch up
with the leaders.
1t might be said that had Roswell
supported the local team, either by
subscription or attendance at the
games, the original organization of
the early spring might have been pre-
served, and the leadership of the
league would have been easy. As it
is, the leadership Is lost and the man
agement of the team is nearly $500
in the hole.
The game at Hagerman yesterday
lost in the first two innings. In
that time five scores were made by
Hagerman, who made their runs in
both innings after two outs on pass
ed balls by Holstein. who was catch
ing. In n inning there were two
outs and the tnird al famed the
air three times, but Holstein dropped

The city council did a wise thing
ing out the bawdy houses in Roswell.
A wise thing not only from a mora
standpoint, but a wise thing in a bu-
siness way. A rise in property values
in the district heretofore desecrated
by these brothels may be confidently
expected. The only r~egretable thing
about it all is that three men could
found on the council who would
oppose such a measure. Happily the
efforts of the editor of the Register
Tribune and his attendant satellites
were without effect.

The adoption of a statehood plank
in the Chicago platform was a matter
of political ~expediency n was done
at the urgent request of the delega-
ton from New Mexico, aided by Judge
Rodey of Porto Rico, after the sub
committee had decided not to put a
statehood plank in the platform. This
is n more proof of the great love
of the Republicans for New Mexico.
This eleventh hour repentance will
fool nobody. There will be no hest
fancy among the delegates to the
Democratic convention at Denver
about adopting a statehood plank.
When New Mexico is admitted to
statehood it will be by ald under a
Democratic administration Santa
