LOCAL WAR NEWS OF
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The Newark Daily Advertiser, now
the STAR, did not appear July 2S, 1861,
that being Sunday; but on the next
day it published the following:
Return of First Regiment.
The First Regiment, Colonel A. j.
Johnson, of this city returned home
rather unexpectedly on Saturday eve
ming and were the recipients of a spon-
taneous ovation from the hearts of the
people. Not being expected till next
Tuesday the committee of reception
had arranged their plans accordingly.
At 3 p. m, Saturday, however, a dis
patch was received from Colonel John
son stating that the regiment was en-
route for home and wou, reach New
ark at 5.
The news spread like wildhre and
the whole place was soon in great ex-
element. Flags were displayed from
every staff and window and Stops,
roofs, balconies and other available
places were thronged with spectators.
Broad street and the vicinity of the
Chestnut street depot were filed with
a dense mass Of human beings.
The fire department was called out
by an alarm from the bell tower. > = .
A temporary halt vas made on the
march up, at the park, during which
the men were constantly engaged in
receiving congratulations of friends and
embraces of relatives.

Take the case reported in the New York papers. Walter P. Richmond, a

Malone and pleaded guilty. Judge Malone sentenced him to moi less than

STATE INSANE HOSPITAL CONGESTION

eTH HE overcrowded condition of the State Hospital for the In
sane at Morris Plains is not a new story. That condition has
been chronic for a long period. At every session of the
Legislature appropriations are asked for to enlarge and improve
the accommodations. Similar conditions have prevailed at the State
Hospital for the Insane at Trenton. The two institutions, like the
daughters of the horse1eech, have constantly cried: "Give! Give"
Nor should the State cease to give as long as the necessity exists,
for it's providence cannot be denied to the unfortunate insane. But
has not State policy mistakenly created this neyersatished neces-
sity? Hospital building was begun on a scale of magnifcence at
Morris Plains. A palace was erected there and, as every addition
that has since been made to it had to correspond, the building has
cost a kings ransom. Every future enlargement will be of the
same costly kind, and with new building it won't be long before
the present structure will be doubled in size. There is nothing in
the care and treatment of the insane to necessitate expensive archi-
lecture. There are other methods of housing the insane that are
much more economical and even of more benefit to the patients.
The cottage system is in vogue in a number of places, and is a
success. 1t is one of cheap construction, it gives better light and
air and it is capable of indefinite expansion. An Increase of the
insane colony means only the building of more cottages and the
employment of additional help. The money spent at Morris Plains
alone would pay for the housing and care of the insane populations
of both State asylums by the cottage system. Instead of piling up
more architecture at either asylum the State should establish a new
asylum on the cottage plan and take the overflow from the two
institutions. The present plan of housing the insane cannot be
continued. The Legislature should create a commission to investi-
gate the question and make an early report, so that relief from
congestion may not be delayed.

Common Decency outraged.

Common Decency Outraged.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The overcrowding of the State Hos
pital for the Insane at Morris Plains,
and the lack of any law to prevent
that congestion, as revealed in the
Evening STAR, is nothing short of
astounding.
Yet at the State asylum it is APP
parently necessary to crowd 1900 in
mates in the space provided for 1000,
and to use the corridors and rooms
under the roof for sleeping quarters.
1t is peculiarly unfortunate that the
insane should be herded together be-
cause of the very nature of mental
arrangement. Under such conditions.
where proper classification and separa-
ton is impossible, the inmates cannot
fall to react upon each other with
serious results. Indeed, it would be
hard to imagine another institution
where the herding Of patients together
would be so disastrous as in an in
sane asylum.
Simple humanity and common de-
cency demand that something should
be done. And no time should be lost.

As a Layman Sees It.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
In your contemporary paper / last
night read an editorial on the difference
in the manner several men were treated
who had figured in the killing of pris-
oners. Several cases of men connected
with the police department were men,
toned. In my opinion the editorial was
out of place, and to a certain extent
may help men who are of a desperate
frame of mind to commit further
crimes.
Recently Sergeant John Harris, OF
Chief Corbitt's staff, winged a man who
was being taken to the Essex county
jail, after he had been arraigned in
court on a charge of robbing and at
tempting to kill. The prisoner broke
away and the police in the entire city
were asked to be on the lookout. Ser
cellar and when the man got out he
again tried to run away. The chase
was through back yards and over
fences n as a last resource the detec-
tive pulled his gun. When Harris got
his mar the criminal said to him: TITS
good I was not armed. or you would
have got yours
Now the paper wants to know why
Harris was not arrested and held for
bail. Harris is an officer and carries his
gun for just such purposes. He report
ed the occurrence to his chief and the

A service to the Public.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
A letter appeared in your Rostrum
column recently, in which the COM
municant questions the right of the
police authorities to hold the waiter
who killed a burglar with a brick after
the latter had robbed the cash register
in his restaurant.
My views on this matter are in ac-
cord with those of Justice" If a po-
liceman did the same thing he would
be lauded to the skies and eSonerated
from all blame. 1 think the waiter
did just what any brave man would
do under similar circumstances, and 1
think the public owe him a vote of
thanks for Kidding us of a daring thief.
The waiter was also responsible for the
arrest of two alleged accomplices of
the dead man. So why. punish a man
who has really done us a great service?
Hoping to hear from. other readers on
this matter, l am FAIR PLAY.
