A Typical New Yorker.

From the indianapolis Star.
Every now and then newspapers record
the case Of some aged person who has
never been out of the town in which he
was born, has never travelled on a rail-
road train. perhaps never has seen one;
has never known any of the modern i'm
provements except the few minor ones
that penetrate slowly into his home viii
lage-for it is usually a country place
where such unenterprising persons at
tract attention. Such stories create a
passing wonder in the minds of those who
read them and a pity for the benighted
ones who lack the curiosity to see some
thing of The world and the energy to
escape even temporarily from a narrow
environment. For the most of them. if
accounts are to be believed, are not like
the peasant whose lifetime longing was
to see Carcassonne. Apparently they have
had no Carcassonne, no desire TO see the
outer world.
1t is mistake to suppose, however.
that these people, who live like snails in a
shell, moving In little round through all
their years, are all of rural origin and
surroundings. They are as likely to live
In cities, but there their lack of enter
prise arouses no surprise or notice. One
such man died in New York the other
day. He was born in that city and i'm all
his eighty-six years he had never been
outside of it, yet he was not an invalid, an
imbecile or SO poverty stricken that he
could not have travelled at least a few
miles beyond his home boundaries. Con-
ditions are fortunately such that people
can get away from New York easily and
at little cost But this man did not cross
to New Jersey or take a trip into New
England or even go up state for an out
ing, For eighty-siX years he went up and
down Manhattan Island, satisfied with it's
crudeneSS in its early day. not qlieStion-
ing its attractions when it became solidly
built up and it's streets like deep canyons.
He was typical New Yorker. content
with its environment, ignorant of what is
outside and not caring to learn. He would
probably have asked in surprise why he
should go outside. when New York con-
tains everything that need interest a hui
man being.

Gibbon on Fame.
From the Youths Companion.


Edward Gibbon, the historian, was not
one to underestimate the pleasures of
intellectual occupation or the value Of
literary fame. II have drawn a high
prize in the lottery Of life," he wrote
in his autobiography. II am disguised
with the affectation Of men of letters
who complain that they have renounced
a substance for shadow, and that their
fame affords a poor compensation for
envy. censure and persecution.
{. my own experience has taught me a
very different lesson; twenty happy years
have been animated by the labors OF my
history and its success has given me q
name. a rank. a character In the world
to which should otherwise not have
been entitled.
"D'Alembert relates that as he was
walking in the gardens Of Sans Souci
with the King of Prussia, Frederick said
to him: DO you see that old woman, q
poor weeder. asleep on the sunny bank?
She is probably more happy being than
either of U.S.
"The king and philosophers may speak
for themselves: for my part, 1 do not
envy the old woman"

Telescope That Floats.
From National Magazine

Z
At the Harvard University observatory
a gigantic telescope floats in a tank OF
water 1t is one Of the largest in the
world. the rejecting mirror being Ave
feet wide. Mounted on a water-tigl1t
cylindrical steel float. the telescope
swings In concrete tank full of water,
only, slightly larger than the cylinder,
which is designed to fit it closely and
serve az a pivot for the telescope. instead
Of having 1t mounted on a solid base.
Machinery at each side holds and guides
It. The water bears the weight, and the
movements Of the telescope are regulated
by tiny electric motors; the gigantic mir
ror can be easily removed and resilvered
when it grows dim. although two tons
are indicated when it Is placed on the
scales. Through this telescope stars OF
the sixteenth and eighteenth magnitude
are revealed, and it seems to penetrate
into the very abysses of the heavens
While the instrument is mounted in the
open air, the image is reflected to an eye
piece. In an adjoining building, where the
astronomer sits and makes calculations In
which millions Of miles are dealt with az
indinerently as the simplest sums In ordi-
nary bookkeeping.
The first look through a great telescope
is disappointing, but the novice soon sees
that the fiat appearance which the
heavens present to the naked eye Is re-
placed by a curious concavity; the moon
and stars seem to be hung In space rather
than spread out on a fiat surface. For a
moment one feels at the telescope like q
child watching the swdft-movfng balls
kept in the air by a juggier. and expect
ing to see one of those great. bright
bodies fall. Then comes tho thought
what keeps them there. apparently sus-
pended in space with absolutely nothing
to hold them firm? The explanation of
the learned astronomer causes the brain
Of the layman to whirl, and he sees him
self, perhaps for the first time, as q
child gathering pebbles on the great
shores Of the sea Of knowledge. or as

HANDS BOUND Is YEARS
WOMAN BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN DANGEROUS LUNATIC.
Through Efforts Of State Commission
She Is Given Liberty and
Employment.

BALTIMORE, March 19.-An example OF
the urgent need for state care OF the
pauper insane is shown in the case Of
Margaret Rollington, who for twenty
five years was confined in cells at Bay
view Asylum and handcuffed because 1t
was believed she was dangerous ana in
durable. Through the work of DR.. A. p.
Herring, secretary to the state lunacy
ago to the Maryland Hospital for the In
sane. at Spring Grove.
The woman, the authorities at Bayview
say. has killed four persons and was q
too dangerous inmate to be at large and
allowed to mingle with the other patients.
For this reason she was kept in, bare
cell during the day handcuffed and q
night in small room under lock and
key. Records Of whether the woman Is
a murderess or not are Tot available. She
was never allowed to stroll around the
grounds unless guarded
The day cell Of the woman was Ave by
ten feet and absolutely bare. The floor
was OF cement. the cell had old wooden
doors and little window. which was
grated with iron bars. The woman is
now past sixty years.
Governor Interested in Case.
When Gov. Crothers, accompanied by
the state lunacy commission, visited Bay
view Hospital about a year ago he saw
the unfortunate woman. 1t was the sight
of the conditions there that helped to in.
auence him to approve OF the state care
of the insane.
At Spring Grove asylum the woman has
been freed Of her shackles She is giver
employment in the kitchen, where she
mingles with other inmates. A noticeable
change has come over her, and she ap-
pears brighter and more cheerful. She
begs not to be handcuffed again.
The plight of this unfortunate WON.
an" said DR.. Herring yesterday. lis only
an example of hundreds Of cases almost
as bad existing in some OF the county
almshouses. With state care Of the in.
sane all this will be remedied and many
cases will be cured. This woman, how
ever, is too old to be cured Of any condi.
ton of mental detection, but there is q
probability that when she first went to
the institution had she been treated by
men who have made study OF mental
alterations she would have been cured
long ago"

RESPECT FOR UNIFORM
OFFICIALS URGING ACTION ON
CHAMBERLAIN BILL.
Discrimination by Places of Amuse-
ment Detrimental to Enlist
ments in Navy.

Naval officials are urging prompt action
by. Congress on Senator Chamberlain S
bill making discrimination against the
uniform of the United States a misde-
meanor, punishable by fine or imprison-
ment They are hopeful that whatever
legislation is enacted will be sufficiently
broad and comprehensive to insure
public respect for the uniform and be
incapable of evasion.
Action along this line has been sought
by the War any Navy Departments for
many years past, and the movement is
revived by recent fragrant instances of
discrimination against sailors and marines
in uniform. In the an. nal report of Sec
rotary Bonaparte for 1905 it was stated
that the department had tried long and
earnestly to secure or the service men
of good moral character and reputable
antecedents, and it therefore demands
and. so far as it can, compels respect for
these men and for their uniform from all
classes of the community
Promotes Desertions.
1t was said at the Navy Department
today that acts of discrimination against
the uniform have very serious conse-
quences, as they not only retard the en-
listment of desirable young men. but also
serve to promote assertions As it is
now, soldiers. sailors and marines are
denied admission to the better class of
places of public entertainment and
amusement and consequently are led to
resort to disreputable places, with results
unfortunate to themselves and detri-
mental to the efficiency of the service
Under the naval regulations, members
of tine enlisted personnel are not permit
ted TO wear civilian dress when off duty
consequently they are not privileged to
wear civilian dress when they desire to
90 TO the theater or other place Of public
entertainment. Unless Congress compeis
public respect for the uniform it may be
necessary to change the regulations. Such
Il course is not regarded as desirable. as
civilian clothing would not only entail
extra expense upon the men, but would
add to the size and weight of their equip
ment in all military movements

their opponents a hard run for the
game.
Both pitchers worked we'll and
both deserved to win, but the Real ES
tates COPIED the most hits and passes
and this gave them the game. Two
costly errors each at first and short
