YOUNG WITHDRAWS
STATE MONEYS
Auditor General YOune's Opinion
on Support of Criminal Insane.

Auditor General Robert X. Young has
issued instructions to all the travelling
auditors OF his department that they
shall not in the future allow any pay
ments by the State to counties for the
support of the criminal insane. This
ruling is based upon careful examina-
ton of the acts of assembly relating to
the subject, Auditor General Young be-
ing convinced that the State is not La
able for any portion of the maintenance
OF criminal insane, although it is un-
questionably liable for share OF the
maintenance of the INDECENT insane.
Under the present laws the State pays
81 30 per week per capita for the main
tenance of INDECENT insane in county
asylums, INDECENT insane being those
patients who are without means of sup
port of their own and who cannot be
supported by their families. For the in
digent insane in State asylums, the coun-
ty from which the patient comes pays
81 10 per week per capita for mainte-
nance and the State pays an additional
sum not to exceed 81 80 per week per
capita. AS rule, this maximum OF
81 80 is not reached.
Up to the present time it has been the
custom for the State to contribute TO tn e
support of criminal insane, as it does to
the support of INDECENT insane, but Au-
ditor General Young now takes the po.
sition that under the act of May s, 1883
pamphlet laws, No. 2O, the State is
not liable for any portion of the support
of criminal insane, even though such
criminals be actually INDECENT.
The rule that Auditor General Young
has just put into force will save the
State considerable sum of money, il
the position be proved to be sound
When the new State hospital for the
criminal insane at Farview, this county
is completed, the State will be liable fol
the maintenance of patients there, as i
is for INDECENT insane, this being specially
provided by sections ten and eleven o
the act OF May IL, 1900, providing fol
the erection of that hospital.
Any test of the new ruling will have
to come from counties that may feel ag
grieved at the order. Auditor Genera
Young says that the rule stands and tina
no allowances for criminal insane will b,
made on the part of the State, unless
| II a II
matter to court and the decision il
against the commonwealth. Should {
decision be rendered against the Stat
in lower court, it is probable that tn,
result would be an appeal to the superio
or supreme court.

CITIZENS 5 MILE RACE.

In hopes that every athlete will
read the following suggestions, they
are herein printed for their guild
ance.
First, before competing, or even
entering upon the course of train
ing necessary to compete in this
event safely, each athlete is ad-
vised to have his heart examined.
Second, not only should the athlete
have his arms and body covered in
his practice, but he should likewise
wear a loose fitting pair of long
woolen trousers, and he should have
his feet well protected, by strong
soles, from the pebbles and hard
road, and thus avoid bruises.
Tobacco and liquor should be
avoided, as no man can get in his
best condition and partake of these
things; especially is this true of the
young athlete who has not formed
the habit of depending upon these
stimulants.
The training should be started
with long walks at rapid gait with
frequent jogs, and the distance of
the jog should be gradually in
creased until BY the Is of May every
contestant can safely jog at about
two-thirds his best speed the full
course of, five miles without great
inconvenience. He should be es-
pecially sure to cover up warmly af-
ter his work, and after his heart
and lungs have resumed their nor
NAL rhythm, and his temperature
has become normal, to be rubbed
down in a warm room, free from
draughts, after which he should rest
in bed warmly covered up for at
least an hour.

Cartoons have always been a great
irritation to politicians and crooks,
Tweed said he didn't care what the
newspapers said about him; the peo-
pie who voted under his orders didn't
read them; but the cartoons hurt
him, for everybody saw them, and
the people who couldn't read under
stood them. All persons In the
Tweed class will Also remember that
Tweed was arrested in Spain be-
cause he was recognized by mar
who had never seen any picture OF
him except those wonderful por
traits that Tom Mast used to draw.

the pegs, and made their manipulation
by the lace maker so simple and easy
that a child could in short time be-
come adept in lace making.
The linen thread manufacturing con-
Germ appropriated the idea, patented it,
and through it built up demand for its
thread, which was the only kind used
in the making of macreme lace, that en-
riched it greatly during the years the
lace was in demand and the making of
it as a household art continued to be the
fad. The Dimmick device banished the
century old cumbersome cushion from
use by the lace makers in France, and
wherever the lace is made to-day it is
utilized. Sheriff Dimmick got no profit
from his invention.
"Chance" Dimmck was the first one
in Pike county to have horse clipped. 5"
This was in 1859, and the operation was
then an entirely new thing. lie had a
sorrel mare on which the experiment
was tried, and the sleek, youthful, i'm
proved appearance it gave her was more
than Il nine days wonder. The novel
operation, performed bv an expert who
had been clipping horses in Orange Co.,
kept Milford busy watching it until it
was done. Some exciting variation was
given to it by the mare kicking Joe
lloagland, one of the irrepressible small

had venturcd on too close inspection
OF the process of clipping. The kick
disabled Joe's leg and laid him up for
some days, but no one thought much of
that, for Joe was always getting leg or
something broken, his favorite method
being falling out of somebody's cherry
tree
