FUND EXHAUSTED BY INSANE HOSPITALS

Amount Appropriated for Easthaven and Others Was Not Sufficient. ADDITIONAL DRAWN ON. SECRETARY BUTLER TALKS OF THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF STATE CHARITIES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. The annual report of the board of late charities for the last fiscal year will show how nearly able the institutions of the state were to live within their appropriations. This report la now being compiled by Amos V. Butler, secretary of the board. Among other things it will show that the four Insane hospitals, including Easthaven, used all their maintenance appropriations and a portion of their additional allowance. "The four Institutions which do not have an allowance for excess population," says -Mr. Uutler, "are the Soldiers' Home, the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home, the School for the Wind and the CJirls' school i'.nd Women's prison. The first three had a small balance remaining at the end of the year, but the funds of the Girls' school and the Women's prison fell short by $!),61".,42 (Xr,.226.:. for the old institution and '1..1,sS.S7 for the school in its new location). The amount was made up by the governor from his contingent fund. To Puar Against Deficit. "Even some of the institutions which had an allowance for excess population could not have closed the year without other help. A specific appropriation of ?4.3nt was granted the state prison hy the last legislature and the reformatory got $!.ono to Ruard aga'nst a deficit in the maintenance fund. The population of loth these Institutions was greater this year than ever before in thei' history. notn trie regular and sneeltic appropriations for maintenance were used and in addition th state prison spent $11.434.04 and the reformatory $15,07G.72 from (heir allowances for exeesR population. Another institution! whose appropriation was entirely tool low was the Indiana Hoys' school. It j used up Its recular maintenance fund nnd w-as forced to ca1! on the governor for an additional amount of $r.ooo. "These facts emnhnsize the wisdom of the general 4issenil)iv in providing,' by means of the per canita allowance, for the growing population of the institutions, also in givuie the governor a contingent fund for emergencies." ; IS NOW TOURING THE SOUTH WITHMINSTRELS Roy Peck of This City Is Meeting With Success.

Whether New Yorkers are to have a more liberal Sunday than is permitted under the present law as recently interpreted by Supreme Court Justice O'Gorman. was debated at a public hearing before an Aldermanic committee today. To this committee has been referred, by the board of alderman, a resolution designed to qualify the present legal restrictions so far as they may be modified without bringing city ordinances into conflict with the penal code. The suggested changes, which may be incorporated in the new city charter, would allow such entertainments of a musical and intellectual order ,as would not violate the traditional significance of the day. They provide for the opening of the theatres, opera houses and other places where concerts have long been held on the SabKith.

CHILDREN

PRAYED

OR

PRESIOENT'SDAUGHTER Hebrew Children in Baltimore Ask for Divine Favor. WISH HEALTH RESTORED. Baltimore, Md.. Dec. 14. Three hundred Hebrew school children joined in reciting a prayer asking that Mrs. Nicholas Longsworth be completely restored to health. The Talmud Torah Wehoc Munah free school was founded four years ago. Instructions are given in the English language and in all subjects pertaining to Judaism. The prayer, which is the regular petition for the sick contained in the prayer book in use at the school, was recited in fervent tone, in the Hebrew language, the name of Mrs. Alice Longworth being inserted in the proper place. MERELY A MASTERPIECE. Kot m "JlM(tr" In lovely Dictloa I" or the Junior Manager. A man who wanted to lecture called at a bureau presided over by two managers. He aroused their interest with a lecturer's art. says the Lyceumite, but unfortunately the senior member was just starting on a trip and would not return fonM least a month. The sciyor partner called the young man to on side and exacted a solemn promise that he would not visit another bureau or read his lecture to anybody until after he had given this particular manager a reading and a chance to make him an offer a month hence. The interest of the junior member, however, was at white heat, and he kept sending for the young lecturer, insisting that he come down to the office and read his lecture. Th? young man refused with as much tact as possible, but this only increased the anxiety of the junior. At last the young man told of the promise made the senior partner. Instead of quieting the junior manager, the announcement made him the more anxious, and finally the young man consented. The reading ended, the junior partner said: "Now. your reading this has 6aved us ail much valuable time. I'll tell you frankly, my boy, it won't do. There's no message in it; it is loosely constructed; the diction is poor. It 'won't do. Burn it nnd try again." When the senior partner returned he called up the yoi lecturer and soundly berated him f -reaking faith. "How do I know yon have not been to every bureau in town? You promised me on your honor you would read the lecture to nobody not even to my partner." The young man protested that he had not done so. "Why." exclaimed the senior manager, "of course you have: He tells me that you came down here to the office two weeks ago and read him the entire lecture and that he told vou it was no good." "Yes." replied the young man; "after much persuasion I did read him a lecture which he told me was no good, but it was not my lecture it wa! "Wendell rhlllips' 'Lost xrur "

CAR WAS HELD UP BT BROKEN WIRE; DISPLAY WAS VIVID

Passengers on a Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Car Had an Experience That Alarmed Them. FIRE FROM THE WIRE FIRED THREE PLACES. Aid Was Given by the Passengers and the Flames Were Extinguished Richmond Men Were Aboard. A broken trolley wire on the line of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company near Lewisvilh'. held up a traction car due in Richmond about midnight Friday so that the catdid not arrive in this city until after I o'clock this morning. The antics of the festive wire caused considerable alarm among the passengers. Before it was captured and placed out of harm's way, the wire set fire to the car in three different places and made a pyrotechnic display which Perry .1 Freeman and County Treasurer B. B. Myrick. Jr., who were on the car, state made Dante's Inferno ook like a lighted match in comparison. At the point where the accident took place there are two trolley wires just a few inches apart. The trolley on the car which was held up was on the south wire. The north wive, covered by a coating of ice. broke under the strain, and dangled about the road in an aimless fashion. Every time it would strike the road or the rails there would be an electrical display. All the time the rain came down in torrents. Tied to a Fence. Motonnan Ezra Thompson succeeded in tying the fugitive wire to a fence, but when the car attempted to continue on its journtV, the wire broke loose from its fastenings and alighted on the roof of the car, immediately setting it afire. Thompson pushed the wire off the roof and it promptly fastened on to the front platforn. causing another blaze. Vhile Thompson fought the fire on the roof, Mr. Freeman and another passenger fought the blaze on the front platform. Finally both fires were extinguished. Then the happy-go-lucky trolley wire swung around to the rear platform and started another blaze. This fire was a threatening one and some of the passengers became panic stricken and wanted to abandon the car, but they were persuaded to keep their seats being informed that it was more dangerous outside the car, where the broken wire danced about, than it Mas in the car. By beating the blaze on the rear platform with gloves, signal flags and brooms, it was finally extinguishei. The trolley wire was once more captured and this time fixed so that A could not break loose. After this had been done the belated car resumed its journey toward Richmond. PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS.

The Process of Their Preparation Still Practically Unknown. In all countries where Buddhist wor ethip is celebrated there is a great consumption of "joss sticks." These ceremonial candles are lighted on occasions of festivity or mourning, prayer or thanksgiving to divinities, and the like. Joss sticks are at once candles and incense, since, like the latter, they burn without apparent flame. Their preparation is shrouded in some mystery, and the process is still practically unknown, those who carry it on being chosen from a special class and kept In rigorous seclusion. A squared strip of bamboo, of varying length and thickness, according to the size of the joss stick that is to be made, is skillfully rolled on an inclined surface in a mixture of odoriferous powders agglutinated by resin, made viscous by slight elevation of temperature. One of the ends is left as It is, to serve as a handle. In some cases the bamboo is replaced with a flexible rod, which enables the joss stick to be rolled in spiral form. The coiuposition of the odoriferous powders varies with the country. Those used in Indo-China come generally from the province of Canton and include fourteen drugs, among which may be named camphor, sandalwood, aconite and clove. Acouite plays the part of a preservative and protects the joss sticks well against the attacks of rats and mice. Chicago News.

Full Amount Mar Be Paid Kren hfD I.oaa Is Complete. In a fire insurance policy the sum insured merely marks the maximum liability accepted by the insurance company and determines the premium to be paid. It is not in any way admitted by the insurance office as a measure of the value of the property insured. If I have a life policy for lieKjO, pays a writer in the Nineteenth Century, my heirs can, on proof of my death and their title, receive at leat 5.000, possibly more if there are bonuses. If I have a ship and I insure her with marine insurance companies for r,000, I can recover the full to.ooO at once should my ship be totally lost. But if I insure my house against fire for 5,000 I cannot recover 5.0t) unless I can prove the house tu be worth fully that sum. All that I am entitled to demand is the actual value of my house immediately before it was burned, and I must give every assistance to the insurance company in ortler that the actual value may be justly determined. By statute the insurance, company has the power to reinstate that house, as far as the sum insured will go, instead of paying me anything. In practice, compeupatiou is usually agreed and paid in cash without recourse on either tdde to the right of reinstatement, but in no case am I entitled to more than the actual value of my house as it existed just before the fire. PATENTS ON INVENTIONS. Moat Be In the Xamea of the Actual Inventora. The law provides for the granting of patents only to the actual inventor of the patented Invention, and a patent granted in the name of any one else is invalid. For this reason it is essential that the application for patent be made in the name of the one whom the law regards as the inventor. Iu some factories it is the custom to patent every invention in the name of the president of the company. This frequently happens because the company has been built up on inventions made by the president or other officer, and as a matter of pride the president wishes to see all patents issued in his name. This is a dangerous thing to do in the case of inventions which were conceived by the employee independently of the officer, such as inventions wholly worked out by employee without suggestion or assistance from the officer, for if in a suit brought tinder such patent it were shown that while the patent was granted in the name of the officer the invention was actually made by an employee the patent would be declared Invalid, and usually a suit would not have reached such a stage until It was too late to go back and patent the Invention in the name of the real inventor. Edwin J. Prindle in Engineering Magazine. The HntDrnoli. Here are two essays on the Huguenots by Chicago public school pupils: "The Hugonots are people iu France that are followers of Victor Hugo. Their leader Is a man named Jenn Valjean that was a thief, but got converted and turned out well. The Hugonots are very good people. A lady named Evangeline wrote a Ion poem about them, but it don't rhyme." "The Huguenots is the name of a big thing like a steam roller that the mogul used in India to run over people. It squoshed them to death and was very terrible. It had eyes painted on it like a dragon and snorted steam when it was running. They are no huguenots enny more." John BrtRht nnd Lord Mannrra. In one of his speecbes in the house of commons John Bright quoted in a spirit of banter and ridicule the well known lines written by Lord John Manners in his callow youth: L.et wealth and commerce, laws anl .learning die. But leave us still our old nobility. Lord John, who was present, immediately got up and pulverized the great tribune by retorting. "I would rather be the foolish young man who wrote those lines than the malignant old man who quoted them." Mozart. Mozart lived thirty-seven years. His first mass was composed when he was less than ten years of age, and the enormous quantity of his compositions was the work of the succeeding twenty-seven years.

JUVENILE COURT HAS WIDE POWER Assistant Attorney General Cavins Had Filed Brief In Indianapolis. OF INTEREST IN THIS CITY. THE QUESTION OF THE SCOPE OF COURT'S POWERS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED MUCH AMONG RICHMOND ATTORNEYS. Wide power is claimed for the juvenile court in a brief which has been prepared by A. (5. Cavins, assistant attorney general. The state holds in the brief that the juvenile court has original jurisdiction over offenses in the nature of delinquency and contributions thereto. It is contended that, the juvenile court may, when a felony is disclosed, bind over to another court: this action, however, is optional, it is stated, and lies wholly within the discretion of the Mivenile court. It is argued also that as the appellant, is undergoing punshment inflicted by a court of competent jurisdiction, and there being the right of appeal, the appellant can not successfully attack collaterally by habeas corpus. Power of Punishing Adults. It Is pointed out that the fact that the power of punishing adults was lodged in the juvenile court Is significant, meaning plainly that the general assembly thus recognized the fact to be that such courts, having exclusive jurisdiction of the children's cases, would be better able to dispose of the cases of adults intelligently and expeditiously. Some of the reasons for giving the juvenile court such powers are patent, it is stated. For example, it is argued, thf juvenile court is in a position to . control the attendance of child witnesses. "But. perhaps, above nil," the brief says, "the familiarity gained by the judge of the juvenile court by trying the children's cases would enable him to know best and understand the devious methods of adults in such matters and be better qualified thereby to effectually investigate and correctly dispose ,of such cases.'' The scope of the court's powers has been a much discussed question in Richmond. Oxygen nnd Mmhroonn. ! A singular way of removing oxygen j from the air by the aid of a plant is ; a follows: Inside a glass veil jar. sus- ' pended over water, is placed a mushroom, and sunlight is allowed to fall apon the plant. The mushroom cbsorbs the oxygen from the air in the jar. and the carbonic acid formed duri ing the process is absorbed by the water. whM) gradually riss in the jar to one fifth of its height. The mushroom now dries up. but its animation is only suspended, as may be proved by introducing leside it a green plsnt, when it will recommence to vegetate, being nouri'hed by the oxygen exhaled from the fresh plant.
