Boston, Mass, May MAY day
in New England, which is usually a
day of Industrial disturbance, this
year is one of the most peaceful on
record, due in part to the dull con-
dition of business and the consequent
oversupply of the labor market.
In the textile industry in New
England about 40 per cent OF the ma
chinery is idle, which has the effect
of keeping about one hundred thou
sand operatives idle or on short
time.

be made into national forest and
that some restraint be placed upon
the grazing on the mountain ranges
in order that the forest cover might be
restored and the floods stopped.
The forest was established after a
careful and systematic examination of
the area had been made by expert for
esters, and grazing upon large area
was strictly prohibited for year.
What was the result on the Manti
watershed? Within a year from the
time grazing was stopped the floods
began to diminish. The forest cover
rapidly returned.
The snow, held in check by the
bushes, grasses and other forest
growth, did not melt away in day as
in the past. The rains that formerly
fell on a bare open ground were now
received by sponge-like covering of
dead grass and leaves, and these with
the living vegetation held it in check
from running off as fast as it fell.
Four years have passed since the
forest was made, and the danger from
floods is no longer known in Manui,
while the flow of water in the little
mountain streams is more regular and
constant than ever before.

nothing to prove insanity except an
array of ridiculous testimony. AS an
evidence of his mental condition it
was alleged that while in the army he
had constantly whitfield lockets, rings
and other perishable ornaments, that
he had nose-bleed, and that he was
melancholy, while a number of relia-
BILE witnesses testified as to his excel
lent mental health at all times.
About this time and until 1876
there were a number of murders of
the same kind. Judge Parker, in the
Cole case, instanced no less than eight
examples of men who had taken the
law into their own hands, and who
had been acquitted under like circum-
stances.

the name of science, attempt to mysti-

Push-and-Puii Exercise.

One of the fat-inclined men of New
York has a novel method of keeping
himself in fine fettle. 1t is a push
and-pull exercise. In the basement Of
his home, which has a level concrete
floor, he has installed several wheeled
objects. One is safe weighing two
tons. Another is box of chains that
used to belong on Staten island fer
ry boat as balance; it weighs 5000
pounds Still another is a cast-off bull
lion cart that used to do duty in the
assay office; it weighs 1000 pounds,
but may be loaded with pig iron up to
$4,000 pounds. The exercise consists
in pulling and pushing these vehicles
over the floor, and, judging by the de-
veiopment of our friend, it is effective.
His general strength is prodigious,
and there is no muscle-binding.-

Advocates Commission of Alienists.
"a wise procedure, first inaugurated
by the United States, District of Col
umbia, in the Schneider case some
years ago, and lately more perfectly
brought about by the Hon. Justice
Warren w. Foster, of the general ses-
sions, provides for the appointment Of
a commission of alienists, who should
receive testimony and give an opinion
as to the alleged insanity of a defend
ant at the time of the commission Of
the act, as well as at the present time,
and report. The decision of this COM
mission may send the individual to
penal institution of the insane, or he
may be put on trial should the claim
of alleged insanity be unfounded. By
this method the community would not
only be saved from disgusting details,
such as were poured out in the Thaw
and other cases, but an immense
amount of money could be saved the
taxpayers. AS it is. jury trials are
VIGOROUSLY unfair, no matter how
conscientious and intelligent may be
the tribunal. Within the last year
have had experience with two cases
which illustrate what | mean.
I'm one a habeas corpus was
brought for chronic lunatic, whose
actions were so glazing that her own
counsel admitted her insanity and
could find no expert to testify in her
behalf. The proceedings were held in
courtroom which at other times
served as the meeting place of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Inclden-
tally, it appeared in the testimony
that during the war she had given cof-
fee and sandwiches to the soldiers,
and a point was made of this by her
ingenious and resourceful lawyer. To
the surprise of everyone the jury,
which was recruited largely from the
old soldiers who made the room a
lounging place, gave her her freedom
and declared her sane because she
had always been good to the soldiers
"In another case the members of a
supposedly intelligent jury, who had
been sworn to express the opinion
whether an alleged incompetent was
sane or insane, found that he was COM
petent chiefly because they did not
like the looks of his brother who was
the. next friend, and who had brought
the action to have a committee ap-
pointed for his clearly insane relative.

There followed many conferences
between the two, none of which result

just as insistent, on his part, for a
name that should be suggestive of the

So the new camp was called "Tipperu

jured man and produced an insanity
which rendered him irresponsible.
Zone genuine case has been made to
do duty as basis for all the others,
and this decision was utilized in the
Thaw case. The case to which refer
ence is made is that of a man who
was really insane, and whose wife
within a week of the time of the sex
ual assault of which she was the vic
tim, communicated the fact to him,
when he took the law into his own
hands and killed the paramour. 1t
was properly alleged that his act was
an insane one. That is a very differ
ent thing from the instances where in
dividuals, after receiving such infor-
nation, wait weeks and months, going
about their business and holding or
binary relations with the woman, or
even indulging in litigation.
Cowardice of Murderers.
There is something rather interest
ins about the mental attitude of an
individual under such circumstances
as to his conception of his social
rights. 1 have often noticed that
there is singular lack of sincere in
jury and consistency in the husbands
motive for revenge, and there is usu-
ally a great deal more behind the
facts as they first burst upon the COM
munity than are known. The husband
who kills a paramount too often does
it in cowardly fashion, either shoot
ing him in the back from behind a
wall or in the dark. There is too apt
to be an element of cowardice in the
way it is done that robs it Of the fine
frenzy of feeling with which it is col
ored by the lawyers for the defense.
Frequently the causes that lead up to
these tragedies are known by the
husband long before, and even some
times condoned. My impression is
that there exists sort of inexplicable
vanity, an exaggerated egotism, that
inspires the semi-heroic attitude of in
jured virtue assumed by the husband
who shoots another man on his wife
account
You may ask what all this has to
do with emotional insanity and the
commission of murder, and my reply
must be that where there is an exist
ence which feeds upon sensation and
separates itself from sanity and a cool
exercise of judgment, we may expect
more or less moral decline.

ting to be more and more a thing of

discomfort, and affords opportunity

one tendency.

of the courts in regard to the defense
of emotional insanity will be much

SAVING A TOWN FROM FLOODS.
Good Work the Forest Service Did for
Manti, Utah.

One of the conditions governing the
grazing of stock on the western ma
tionel forest reserves is that certain
areas where the watershed demands
protection are closed to the stockmen
because the watershed interests are
many times more important than the
grazing rights.
Two notable cases of this protec-
ton are the Salt Lake City watershed
in the Salt Lake National forest and
the Manti watershed in the Manti for
est liz the same state.
In the years before the forest was
reserved by the government the little
city had been annually almost swept
away by floods. Thousands of dollars
had been spent by the citizens in
building entertainments, but to no
avail.
Every year the streets were torn up
and the neighboring fields ruined, says

AG Lane Hamilton is the dean
d of American alienists. He
SSXSAN has perhaps of all men in
~E this country had the lar
w. gest experience in the
courts, and has been con.
cerned In more important cases in
courts than any other American physi-
clan. His experience extends over a
period of nearly 40 years. He was
one of the chief government experts
who was chosen to testify in the case
of Guiteau, who killed President Gar
field, and he was sent for from Buffalo
to examine CzolgolZ, the insane assas-
sin of President Mckinley, and again
his name is found connected with
the Schneider proceeding, which was
undertaken in the District of Column
bia to determine the responsibility of
this interesting murder. His indepen-
dent attitude in the Thaw case is
generally known and commended, and
although he had testified vigorously
against the doctors of Christian Sci
ence in the Brush will case, he was
sent for by the counsel of Mrs. Eddy
and consulted as an expert who was
eminently fair and likely to give good
advice.
Ridicules Emotional Insanity.
DR.. Hamilton referred to the many
important cases that have occurred
during the last so years in New York,
where so-called emotional insanity"
had been advanced as, an excuse for
crime generally, and was disposed to
ridicule this form of subterfuge. Gas
most of us know, the Sickles-Key case
was one of the earliest American
cause celebre, and even in those early
days made the judicious grieve. Gen.
Daniel Sickles, a popular veteran of
the civil war and an eminently sane
man, after having watched Key, fol-
lowed and shot him down in the
street, and afterward pleaded emo
tional insanity so successfully that he
was acquitted, although it does not ap-
pear that he afterward suffered any
incapacity or showed any sign of men
tai weakness, living to good old age
and pursuing the even and sane tenor
of his way.
I'm this state" said DR.. Hamilton,
''the Cole Hiscock murder was another
of the same kind, and was tried in AL
bany, N. Y, in 1868, Maj. Gen. George
w. Cole having murdered Harris His
cock in front Of StanwiX hall on the
evening of June 4, 1867, while he was
talking with two friends. Cole sought
out Hiscock, who had been intimate
with his wife, and, placing a pistol
within few inches Of his head, fired,
killing him instantly. In this case,
like many others, the defense was
emotional insanity, and the defendant
owed his escape from the gallows to
the eloQuence of a Mr.. Hadley and to
the late James T. Brady, for there was
