Acting, upon allie cations that n con-
spirucy exists to keep Miss Rose Rosen-

Morris Plains Hospital for the Insane
f1,e German-AmerIcaa Alliance OF this

Iiberafe her II the reports are borne
out by facts. Ii il said that MS long
as the Young woman Is kept u prisoner
In the asylum she cannot get possess
sion of the considerable fortune left 10
her by her motEer. This wealth Is
said to be the base of the alleged
conspiracy.
Ex-Mayor Lankering, of Hoboken,
took the initiative in the matter by
bringing the attention of the local Ger
man Alliance to Miss Rosensohn's case,
In which he and other Hoboken Ger
mans are deeply Interested Rabbis
Leuchf and Foster. of this city went to
Morris Plans at the request of Mr..
Lankering. and are said to have re-
ported to him that. as far as they could
determine. they belieyed she was per-
fcctly sane.
Miss Rosensohn, who was a nurse at
the Beth Israel Hospital in this city,
was sent to Morris Plains more than a
month ago because of her second at
tempt to kill herself because of her
love for DR.. Saul Rubinow.
1t was said that they first met on
board an ocean liner and that DIR. Rubi-
now procured for Miss Rosensohn the
position in Beth Israel Hospital, oppo-
site his office. About nine months ago
Miss Rosensohn believed there was no
chance of her marrying DR.. Rubinow,
and in a street car she drank poison.
She was saved from that, and nothing
more was heard of her until a month
ago. when again she drank poison in
the street. and -was tfreif adjudged Bn-
sane and sent to the asylum.

Virginia City Today.

Virginia City is indeed a strange
town-a living skeleton. In the height
of it's opulence it boosted a population
of 10000. Today there are less than
one-tenth that many. Dilapidation ana
ruin are seen on every hand. The
chief streets terrace along a great hill
side. Father up the slope are wastes
of sagebrush growing in stunted
clumps that half hide the earth with
their gray twigs and foliage. Down
below is a valley where the mines have
dumped vast heaps of waste. The
entire region is a wild upheaval of
hills. and around the horizon are seen
ranges of snowy-topped mountains
The only trees are an occasional
gnarled scrub pine or dwarf cedar a
few feet high. The town streets are
rough and dirty, and as walked about
I was constantly encountering old tin
cans and getting my feet tangled up in
wires from the baled hay. Buildings
in good repair are rarities. There are
tottering fences and ragged walls and
broken roofs and smashed glass, and
many windows and doors are boarded
up. The search for gold has resulted
in tearing the country to pieces
Everywhere the hills are dotted with
prospectors holes. From any height
you can see dozens-perhaps hundreds
They suggest the burrowing of wood

along the Comstock lode abounds, too
in deserted shafts.-Outing.

HUGE New Railroad Stations.

The typical American railroad passcn-
gen station of the past has been build
ing so dngy. so ugly and SO ill-arranged
that travellers wished to see as little of
it as practicable and to get through 1t as
quickly as possible. Justification for this
statement is found in such representative
large structures as the Union depots in
Chicago and Kansas City, and in many
smaller depots in cities and towns in
every part Of the country. The typical
passenger station of the future will be a
building rivalling or SURPRISING in sani-
fairness, convenience and beauty any
other structure in the community. The
ground for this prediction is the many
well arranged and handsome structures
that have been built in towns and cities
all over the country within the past few
years, and especially three magnificent
depots that recently have been or are
now being built in the nations greatest
railroad and commercial center. it's cap

THE PARAGuAYANs.
An Easy Going People in . Bankrupt
Republic.

The infusion of Spanish blood and
customs into the Guarani has produced
a people with the faults and good quail
tiles of both in about equal parts
Dark of complexion, with strongly
marked Indian features. essentially
gentle when unrestrained or not undu-
Is excited. careless of the morrow, poor
and honest, hospitable and generous,
indolent ard uncultured. strongly Cath
olic in theory, but generally lax in re-
ligious performances as to dogmas-'
this is a rough sketch of the native
people. AsunciOn, the capital. and ev-
en- the smaller places, Villa Rica, San
PEDRO, Villa del Pillar, villa Concep-
cion, have their aristocratic families, of
Which the daughters and sons are sent
to Europe to be educated, and which
maintain an exclusiveness that must
be almost isolation; but in general the
people mirglc readily.
In the early morning in the streets of
Asuncion the wcmen gather in their
long White dresses, and barefooted, to
sell their wares. The younger women,
Judged by our standard, are beautiful.
and from carrying baskets and water
jars on their heads have attained an
erect and graceful carriage which our
young women could we'll initiate. Be
sides, when they laugh they show two
rows of pearls, and their speech, i'll
soft Guarani patois, is worth going far
to hear.
When you see Asuncion you see Par
aguay. for it is the most advanced city
in the republic. Its streets are poorly
paved, it has mule cars which run at
long intervals and low speed, and the
hotel accommodations are not excep-
lional, but there is kind of lazy, hap
ly-go-lucky gayety about the city that
represents the national feeling. Para
quay is hard up. Yes, almost stone
broke. The currency is paper, and the
value so small that for a hundred dol
lars one receives a basketful Of ragged
stuff, printed i'll Germany to represent
some nebulous Indebtedness of the re-
public Gold does not stay long in Par
aguay nor does it often enter the coun-
try-Van Norden.
