COST CHAL0NER $4,000
He Got Small Room" in Asylum
Four Years for That Sum.

The reading OF dcpostions aud docu-
trunk and two ample handbags for convey
ance to the courtroom began yesterday in
the action brought by John Armstrong
ChaIoner for the recovery OF control over
bis estate before Judge Holt and jury In
the United States District Court
Frederick A. Ware. OF counsel for Chal-
oner finished his opeuing address 10 the
jury by asserting that Chaloner was not
only sane but a brilliant man. and years
ahead OF his time Speaking of his clients
"Napolecnic' delusion,' Mr.. Ware said ne
would produce photographs TO show how
striking Chaloners resemblance was to por-
traits of tho French Emperor.
Although Chaloner occupied only small
room in the Bloomingdale Asylum and. be-
ing a vegetarian, consumed very cheap iood.
he had to paw there 500 a week, and his
stay at the asylum for nearly four years
cost him 81, co., Mr.. Ware said. During ali
that time he added. only two of Chaloners
relatives visited him at the asylum, Mrs.
Elizabeth Chanler Chapman and William
Astor Chanler
When Mr. Ware said he would submit
depositions OF the Princess TroubetslSoy
(Amelie Rives), who was Chaloner's wife
for six years, and said ne was perfectly
sane Judge Holt ruled that the question
at issue was merely whether the order ap-
pointing Prescott Hall Butler, the first COM
mittee for Chaloner, was valid.
Joseph H. Choate, jr, of counsel Tor
Thomas T. Sherman. successor of Mr.. But
Ter and defendant in this action. said IN
outlining the defence that the claims made
i'm Chaloner's favor were wholly sentimcn-
tai He ridlculed the idea OF any gigantic
conspiracy" on the part of the other mem
bers of the Chaloner family TO have Chai-
oner confined.
The deposltlons Of the Princess Trouoet-
skoy being barred by Judge Holt Hugn
Gordon Miller. for the defence. read the
documents relating TO the appointment OF
Mr.. Hall as committee for Chaloner IN
1899 Chaloner had been In Bloomingdale
for two years at that time. and the papers
showed that on May g. 1899, notice was
served on him that ten days later applics-
ton for committee OF his person ana
property would be made in the Supreme
Court.
Chaloner was iii and did not appear. NO.
tice was then served upon him that COM
mission would inquire into his condition on

having Chaloner produced, and the jury
declared him insane IN his absence

keeper?:"
To this day, an occasional high
brow, more or less tied to a brew
cry is wont to give forth OCCASION
al speech regarding the '~'survival
of the fttest."
They may read about Darwin
and feel that the law of develop
ment which is said to have pre-
vailed among monkeys is good
enough for those days when men
can read and write and reason.
The difference between men and
monkeys is largely in the differ
ence in their treatment of the
weaker ones. The monkey says,
Gam I my brothers keeper"
The primal man would kill and
eat the weak. The mother.in law
question was easily settled-the
groom would simply eat her. He
would have mother-in-law stew
for dinner.
We are o~utgrowing these things.
We have quit numbering the pris-
oners of war. We have quit en-
Shaving the weaker race. We
build asylums for those deprived
of their reasons. We build retreats
for the feeble minded. We build
hospitals for the sick. We ed
ucate and care tenderly for the
deaf, the dumb and the blind. The
wait and the cripple find a home
provided by the state. The aged
is taken care of.
We are beginning to answer
Gains question in the affirmative.
But we have not yet gone the
whole distance. We are yet only
partly civilized. There is much
monkey left in us yet.
Men throng our streets and al
leys who have not the strength to
resist one thing-drink. They
have dallied with the traps set for
them by the state. The state in
stead of providing protection com
missions wicked men to prey up
on them and despoil them of their
home, their wages, their happiness
their wealth and their lives.
The man has a wife who does
not drink, who has no appetite
for drink, yeti is a slave to drink
through the ungovernable appe-
tite Of her husband. Does the
state come to her rescue? Not at
all. The state commissions some
vagabond to despoil her, to torture
her, to drive the bloom from her
cheek and hope from her heart.
The stricken man has a child
who does not drink. Does the
state protect this little one? Not
at all. The state grants a license
to some brewers agent to destroy
its life. Alcohol is the solvent
that robs the child of the sunlight
to which it is entitled, just as it
steals from the flower the perfume
Of its life and leaves it a rotten
pulp.
When the man who voted to
license this horrid thing is cor-
nered, he shifts his guild of tobac-
CO to the other side and says,
"Am | my brothers keeper"
Everybody has a weaker neigh
Dor who, in turn has a wife and
children who suffer the tortures of
the rack because of his weakness.
What will you do about this at
the coming spring elections? Will
you vote to commission men to
prey upon these people? Will
you, by your vote, authorize their
plumber and debauchment?
M AH AL .
Will you vote to issue a license
to a depraved man to catch your
son II he can or debauch your
daughter If he can gether?

Mr.. Oyster Enthusiastic.

Mr.. oyster. in becoming member of
the council, expressed his enthusiasm for
the cause of obtaining a delegate in Con-
gress for the District. He said he be-
lieves with the other members of the
council in the strict preservation of the
half-and-half principle, and stated that he
shall continue that stand at all meetings
of the council.
Mr. Clafiin is preparing to send circu-
lar letter to the various organ cations OF
the city. including the citizens associ
ations, requesting their stand on the
proposition OF delegate representation. The
letter was submitted to the council and
approved.
1t points out that the work of such
delegate as contemplated would greatly
expedite local legislation and would rem
der Congress more sympathetic toward
the needs of the District people. 1t also is
declared the aid given would enable Con-
gress to legislate more intelligently for
the District.

ANCIENT REMEDY FOR Badness

RALDNESS may be becoming more COM
= mon; but it is not by any means mod
ern affection. A French Psychologist has
unearthed papyrus that gives recipe for
the cure of badness, prepared for King
who reigned some six thousand years ago.
The prescription was made for the King
mother. This earliest of hair tonics was a
salve composed of dates, the paws of dogs,
and the hoofs of asses, mixed and boiled in
OIL AS no testimonial from the King moth
er has been discovered, the salve cannot be
recommended.
