INSANITY SHOWS ALARMING

Each year since 1892 there has been
q steady increase OF insanity and the
asylums are overcrowded In many in

the last report was issued In 1909
there has been a decided increase.
When Auditor General Fuller prepar.

1853 inmates in the various Michigan
institutions. and last year 1888 more
were added to the list.
With this increase in the number
OF inmates, the cost OF maintenance
has increased. In 1892 the Ave
asylums and the Home for hte Feeble
Minded cost the state s394S62.21, but
the total cost for 1910 will be slightly
over $l,302.251.1i.
Auditor-General Fuller states, how.

from which insane persons have been
committed. An act passed at the last
session OF the legislature requires

There was once little girl who had

dolly and a sugar dolly.
One day she called the dollies TO-

BAD ELEPHANT EXECUTED.
500 Grains of Cyanide of Potassium
Kills Huge Beast.

New York - 1t took 500 grains OF
cyanide Of potassium, the most deadly
poison, to kill Gypsie Queen, trick
elephant, executed for the murder of
her keeper, Robert Schiel, on October
20. Less than one grain is sufficient
to kill any man and the first convulsive
symptoms supervene almost before the
victim can set down the glass from
which he swallows.
Gypsy Queen swayed backward and
forward, tapping her big ears, for ten
minutes before she showed the least
uneasiness. 1t was "A minutes before
she was pronounced dead.
The poison was given in three pail
fuls Of bran mash, in which had been
sprinkled 100 capsules, each of five
grains of cayanide. The elephant had
been starved for "a hours and ate
greedily. At the end of ten minutes
she shivered in all her bulk of $500
pounds, her knees weakened, her trunk
grew rigid, she rolled her eyes and
finally fell.
In the next two minutes she got up
four times, struggling against the
chains that bound her. At the end of
20 minutes her breathing was imper-
ceptible, but "A minutes after her first
swallow she blinked when her trainer
passed his hand before her eyes.
That was the last sign of life.

Nationwide Crusade Against Them

Chicago doom of the Chinese
laundry as it exists today may be the
result of a nationwide organization
soon to be inaugurated. A crusade Of
education is to be carried on through
newspapers and magazines warning
against the unsanitary conditions.
The movement had its inception in
Chicago and it is expected the first
effects will be felt here through an Or
dinance which soon will be reported to
the city council providing stringent
regulations for all establishments en-
gagged in supplying clean linen.
The ordinance originated with the
health department, and at once re-
ceived the cooperation of the Laundry
association, which obtained the incor-
poration in the ordinance Of clauses
even more stringent than those origin

favorably reported by the committee
in charge and its passage is practically
assured.

SCORES DIE IN FIRE
Box Factory Employees Perish in
Flames or Leap to Death.
Pour From Windows to Fire Escapes
and Fall in Shower Upon
Firemen's Heads.

Newark. N. J.-In ten minutes rs
girls were burned alive or crushed to
death on the pavement by leaping from
the windows and fire escapes of the
four-story factory building at Orange
and High streets, occupied on the top
floor by an underwear manufacturing
concern.
1t was on the top floor where the
death list was heaviest. The lower
floors were occupied by two paper box
concerns and two electrical fixture fac
tories. The latest count shows that 20
of the 25 bodies recovered have been
identified and that six girls are miss
ing. They may be among the uniden-
titled or yet in the ruins. The collapse
of wall interrupted the search for
bodies.
Fifty were taken to the hospital, of
whom two may die.
Among the injured is Joseph E.
Sloan, deputy fire chief, who was over
taken by the falling wall and buried in
bricks and rubbish. He is badly hurt
but may recover.
The rush of the flames was SO swift
and threw such terror into the girls on
the top floor that the body of one was
found still seated on a charred stool
beside the machine at which she had
been working.
Horrible as must have been what oc-
Cured in the crowded upper rooms,
what befell outside in the bright sun
light was more horrible.
The building was exceedingly in
fiammable and the first gush of flames
had cut off all escape by the stairways.
The elevators made one trip, but took
down no passengers and never came
back. The only exit was by the fire
the lower platforms of which
were 25 feet from the street.
Onto these overcrowded and steep
lanes, scorched dancing hot by the jets
of fame from the lower windows,
pressed forward mob of women, blind
driven by the fire and the
others behind them.
A net had been spread beneath the
and the girls began to jump,
like rats out of burning bin,' was
the way fireman described the de-
scent.
They came out of the windows like
-hick treacle, rolled upon the heads of
hose below them and cascaded off the
ire escape to the pavement 60 feet be-
ow.
Some of them stood in the windows
against the flames and jumped
lear. Others jumped from the land
ngs, still others from the steps where
hey stood. The air was full of them
md they fell everywhere-into the net,
N the necks of the firemen, and Is of
hem on the hard stone slabs.
When the awful rain ceased there
we're eight dead in the street, and the
utters ran red Seven were so badly
rushed they died in hospitals.
