to condition the team in order to avoid
a start like the ridiculous one OF last
year. While IL is obvious that the first
month of the year in which the Tigers
were right round the bottom all the
time was really what made the race
so close at the finish, 1t is not the In
tention OF the club to again test the
gameness of its team by involuntarily

NO FUSS TO MOVE
INSANE WOMEN
Patients Quiet When Taken in
Stages to New Over
brook Asylum.

Eighty-six women patients of the
Essex County Hospital for the Insane,
in South Orange avenue, were taken
this morning in five stages to the new
hospital buildings on the m~ountainside
at Overlook. TIL, women were put
into the stages at the real of the big
hospital building, near the tuberculosis
day camps. There was a nurse and an
attendant on each stage.
The patients were more quiet and
well behaved than some people are
when they start on an outing. Only
one violent patient was In a strait
jacket, and the nurse tied her to the
rail of the stage because she has q
mania for running away. But when
the stages started up South Orange
avenue at $3.50 O'Clock this woman was
one of the gentlest in the party. She
fastened to the rail as a precau-
ton as she might have a bad spell at
any minute.
All of the men, except a few who are
getting well. have been removed to
Overlook, and about $50 of the 1856
women were taken there yesterday.
About one hundred women were carried
in the stages this afternoon. The others
will be transferred tomorrow.
Nobody appears to know what will
be done with the big South Orange
avenue building.

UP HOPE FOR
MISSING HUSBAND
Mrs. Felix F. DeVaux's Search
in Morgues and Hospitals for
Two Months Useless.

After an absence Of over two months
Mrs. Felix F. DeVaux, of 273 South
Eleventh street, has not heard one
word from her husband, who strange
ly disappeared after attending church.
The search for him has practically
been abandoned. Mrs. DeVaux has
searched hospitals, morgues n the po-
lice stations of this and other cities.
AT first she thought that he had met
with foul play. but at the present time
she can in no way account for his
strange disappearance. Inquiry about
the neighborhood concerning the af-
fair has led to the disclosure that Mrs.
DeVauX has tried to sell her furniture.
Mr.. DeVauX at the time of his de-
parture mad beer in poor health and
was in the employ of the Crescent
Watch Company, but only working on
half time. He. mad gone to church on
the morning of Sunday. May Is, and
after returning to his home told his
wife that he was going out for a walk.
He went and has not been heard from
since. He had very little money and
no jewelry.
