MOVING PICTURES FOR INSANE.
Successful And Beneficial Results
From Kentucky Experiment.

The superintendent of the Western
Kentucky Asylum for the Insane has
rugged up a moving-picture outfit at
that institution, and the other night
he tried it on 800 Of his patients. The
effect was altogether satisfactory The
inmates enjoyed the show immensely
and expressed their pleasure in much
the same matter as do ordinarily sane
Kentuckians under similar circum-
stances. They laughed uproariously
and they applauded vociferously. In
fact, they were just as crazy about
the pictures" as 10 the average young
American who il running at large in
cities where picture shows abound.
Henceforth the picture entertain
ment Is to be part OF the regular
program at the Hopkinsville Asylum
There are too many patients there to
be edited and amused all at once with
the marvellous films. There are some
1900 altogether, and there is no hall
at the institution big enough to &C.
commodate them. The superintendent
will take them in relays, and he pro
poses to give shows at frequent inter
walls and to change the pictures as
often as necessary. No one OF the 300
first nighters" had ever seen pic
ture show. 1t was a'-select audience"
The superintendent did the selecting,
and did it carefully, for it was a test
performance. He didn't know whether
there would be an encore, riot or a
stampede He had force OF husky
guards ambushed on the outside in
case trouble should arise, but there
was no trouble. IN the language OF
the rural correspondents everything
passed off tremendously. The audi
ence caught on" from the start and
was quick to manifest its approba-
ton. There was no going out be-
tween the acts. There were no cat
calls from the gallery. Not a specta-
tor left his seat until the curtain
went dark to slow music and to inter
rogatories from the ambushed guards
of who's looney now?"
The superintendent anticipates that
the show will have good effect In max
ing his patients forget their real or
imaginary troubles. In consequence
he believes they will be more tractable
in future, more amenable to treat
ment and more likely to recover their
mental balance. It ~ to be hoped he
is right, and SO far as he has gone
the theory seems to be working out
The world liz full of paradodcal

So it was settled that Mr.. Wingate
should be subjected to the pumping
process when Asaph visited him. He
departed for this visit the following
week and remained away for ten days.
Meanwhile several things happened in
Bayport.
One of these things was the farewell
OF the Hon. Heman Atkins. Congress
was to open at Washington, and the
honorable needed the call of duty.
Alicia and the housekeeper went with
him, and the big house was closed for
the winter.
And on the day following Mr.. Thorn
rs, the prodigal father, also left town.
A position in Boston had been offered
him, he said, and he felt that he must
accept 1t.

to sign for 1t all. Tine bills had not all

House Asked to Look
Into Monopoly Charge
as to Army Footwear
Gardner Introduces Resolutions of
Inquiry in Response to Charge by
Pennsylvania Representative.

WASHINGTON, April ga sensation
was sprung in the house today when Rep
resentative Gardner OF Massachusetts, In

to a charge by Representative Difen-
derfer of Pennsylvania that money and In
fluence were being used to give an east

assertions and as q result Mr.. Gardner
called upon the secretary of war and sec
rotary of the navy for all possible infor-
nation concerning the shoe contracts.
Mr.. Difenderfer interrupted Mr. Gardner
in his speech on the free list bill yesterday
while discussing government contract
prices for army shoes.
els 1t not a fact" he asked, that Her
man & Co. Of Boston absolutely control,
after freezing out every other competitor
in the United States, the manufacture OF

United states?''
Mr.. Gardner replied that he had neveI
heard OF such q firm.
II shall be at liberty, then, in the neal
future" MIR. Difenderfer said. ito show
to the gentleman that they have abs0lut'
control of the shoes manufactured in the
country for the army and navy, and tina
they have frozen out competitors that

Mr.. Gardner said that the statement wa
