are mere remnant Of the brave band
OF 1000 that sailed forth on that oc-

these aged veterans, gray-haired and
feeble for the most part, threaded
their way slowly up toward the old

HALLUC|NAT|ONS or
'PARANO|A' SHOWN
BY SUBJECTS
DR.. Ives Exhibits Patients at D. c.
M. Clinic-0ne Is Insane Over
Religion and Another Has the
Love Bug"
Alienist Claims That Joan of Arc
and swedenborg Were Mentally
Defective.

That Joan Of Arc, Swedenborg.
Dowie and the men who Killed Garter
Harrison, Sr., and President Garfield
were paranoiacs, was the statement
made by DR.. A. w. Ives, OF Detroit, n
the course OF lecture on "Paran-
Ola" In the closing clinic OF the De-
troit College or Medicine Alumni as
sociation In the amphitheater Of st.
Mary's hospital, Thursday morning.
The doctor dealt with the subject IN
an exhaustive and comprehensive
manner. telling of the different nal
oiacs are afflicted.
Some paranoiacs." he said, are
possessed of the idea that they are
being imposed on by their employers,
Others imagine that certain parties
owe them money. In this connection
! might mention the case OF young
man who insisted that the Grand
Trunk railway owed him $500 Tor
imaginary services. He couldn't be
convinced that his claim was wrong.
Then there are young men, par
anoiacs, who believe that they are In
love with women much above them In
social standing, and that the women
ere I'm love with them. | have just such
patient here in the hospital and
will bring him in for you to see In few
minutes. This man, Belgian. thinks
that young lady, to whose house he
delivered a parcel, Is madly In love
with him. He is In love with her and
wants to marry her. He has even got
down on his knees and begged Ber
parents to give him her hand. Of
course, such a union would be out OF
the question, because OF the difference
in the social standing OF the two. This
man can never aspire TO the position
which she holds In society. His mind
became so strongly impressed with
the belief that she was in love with
him and he In love with her that he
had to be restrained. That is why
he is here"
The patient was brought into the
clinic and questioned by DR.. Ives. He
n big, powerfully built man. In re-
sponse to the queries OF DR.. Ives he
admitted that he loved the girl In
question and that he was sure she
was In love with him. He seemed
greatly pleased when Dr. Ives told
him ne would intercede for him with
me parents of tne yns.
After the patient had left the clinic,
DIR. Ives said that the man had threat
ened 20 kill his employer and man
who was working in tailor shop
with him and afterwards commit sui
eide. because Of the belief that they
were trying to keep him and the girl
he thinks loves him apart.
Another patient produced by DR..
Ives was a man of about 20 years OF
age who is, according to the doctor,
insane on religion. The old man, a
veteran OF the Civil war, came into
the clinic with his Bible under his
arm. DR.. Ives told him to address the
doctors. The patient then proceeded,
after saying he was born in Kingston,
Ont, to say that he was converted
after the Civil war, having heard the
voice OF the Lord saying In a revival
meeting, None to help! None to
help?"
ii said to the voice, Il will help,
said the patient, "and from then until

the presidents resignation will be

with high fever and suffering both
physical and mental anguish, Presi-
dent Diaz, who Is responsible for the
first real rioting in the capital since
the beginning Of the revolution, and
who from day to day had promised to
resign and then failed to make good,
was being subjected to pressure from
his intimates to relinqnish the presi-
dency and thus put an end to the
trouble. He was told that he was be
ing held personally responsible for
the slaughter of last night and that
unless he retired from the presidency
Immediately his own life was In dan
ger.
sThe danger of the situation lay In
the fact that In Tehuantepec, Guada-
lajara, Zacatecas, Jalisco, az well as
here, where the Diaz forces have been
supreme, demonstrations were In pro-
gress. The people had thrown on oil
pretense of loyalty and were openly
proclaiming their adherence to Ma

ally proved this than the fact that
here In the capital, after their friends
and leaders had been shot down, the
ant-Diaz demonstrators did not dis
perse. Instead the half-dozen mobs
broke up into smaller groups and
these kept marching and shouting
Viva Madero" and yelling for the
downfall of the present government.

to realize the temper of the mobs that
