Doctor Calls Him Sane.
DR.. Mann Page of Gotham, Va, was
given hypothetical question covering all
of the allegations of the petition Of Lewis

Chanler. Chanlers brothers, and Arthur
the commitment Of Chanler to Blooming
dale. His answer was that if all these
allegations had been true they did not jus
tify the commitment Of Mr. Chanler as an
insane person.
Another hypothetical question covered
the diagnoses of Drs. Flint and Mcdonald
used in the case in New York. Dr. Page
said that If the diagnoses had been cor

Mr.. ChOateS croSS-eXaminaton amount

DR.. Page was not an expert on insanity
as they understand such matters in New
York. Dr. Page has been Mr.. Chambers
family physcan for fifteen years and
claimed to have made a close study OF
the various forms OF insanity, and to have
had no little professional experience with
insane persons. He declared that in all
his intimacy with MIR. Chanler he had
seen no evidence of insanity and regarded
him AS normal person.

MR.. FARMER, HOW

When you become delinquent in
taxes your little homestead is sold
and you are thus taxed double.
Many Of you have to had to go
without the necessaries Of life,
not to mention luxuries, some Of
your children have gone barefoot
SO you could redeem your farm
and pay your taxes. Not only
this you pay on valuation much
higher than any county in the
state. You pay one-fourth more
on every COW and every steer you
own, than your neighboring coun-
ties.
And then the man who assesses
you Is back in taxes for five years
or more. Is he any better than
you are that he should be thus IA

And what applies to the farmer
applies equally we'll to the labor
ing man with cottage. He must
pay his taxes or have the place
sold.

wrong on the third day of No

DEMOCRATIC ORATORS IGNORE
STATE ISSUES.

Democratic orators in Denver ant
all other parts Of the state of Colo
rado are ignoring state issues. They
are keeping judiciously away from the
bad records Of past Democratic ad
ministrations, which have almos. in
variably plunged the state into debt
1t has been the business of Republican
administrations to relieve the state OF
this debt and at the same timn make
a showing on their own account.
So far as business conduct of ar
fairs is concerned, past Democratic
administrations have little of which to
boast. The reins of power were held
but lightly when Democratic officials
were In office. Public funds were
run through speedily and annual re.
ports contained little more than sum
maries Of deficits and items of in.
debtedness. So poorly were the funds
applied to public uses that many scan.
dals cropped out and Democratic off.
cials became involved In wordy con.
tentions and legal entanglements.
Printing steals and gross misapplica.
tion Of funds kept the press filled with
exposures and even at the present
time there still develop irregularities
in public accounts under the Adams,
Thomas and Orman administrations.
In the light Of these facts the Re-
publican party In Colorado views with
pardonable pride the work of its past
three administrations. State affairs

Millions of dollars are being turned

YACHT AMERICA MODEL DISPUTE
Mr.. Irving Says Captain Edwardss Own
Statement Shows He Is Mistaken

William Irving, of New Brighton. Staten Island,
when shown the report of the interview with Cap
tain Edwards of Toledo, who says he owns the
original model of the cup winning yacht America.
said yesterday:
1T is ridiculous and absurd for Captain Edwards
to make such claim. You notice he says that
his model is made of soft white pine and black
walnut IN alternate strips. That's enough to prove
he hasn't the working model. Shipbuders fire.
quently make duplicates Of original working models
and send them to friends but no shipbuilder ever
made working model out of alternate strips of
black walnut and pine. When it is expedient to
further prove that I the of the original
working model of the America 1 do so by pro-
ducing the affidavit of who, a boy, in
1870, obtained the model that / have from
George Steer, builder of the yacht
1t is understood that the referred to is d
theatrical manager at present travelling in the
South.
One of the officers of the New York Yacht Club
said last night: The club has in its possession
two models of the yacht-one a full rgged model
made from the original drawings of the vessel,
which also III possession. We have be-
sides half model, drawn TO scale of the boat. so
what do want. Those two men, each of
whom says he has the original model, may fight
it out between themselves. The club is not likely
to interfere, and l sure don't want any
models of the America
