MANY SUFFER IN JAIL CELLS Secretary of Board of Charities Be lieves That State Should Provide Better Facilities for Care of Its Unfortunates. Something like 2.000 yoars ago Greece ruled the world; now It can not rule itself. Those who care for that sort of thing can look forward to a busy win ter' of pugilistic gossip. The peuimican that has to be cut with an ax and the igloos that have to be built by the Iceniau will never become popular in this country.

The day In which some of the governments of the world do not fnco a crisis is a very dull one in contom porary history.

Another Indication is furnished of the growth of liberalism in China. An j imperial edict has been Issued recog nizing: the forthcoming provincial as semblies.

The overcrow um. condition of the Insane asylum re ceives attention in strong terms by Amos W. Butler, secretary of tho board of state charities, in his annual report. The condition, ho declares, will not be greatly relieved by tho opening of the new Southeastern hos pital. as moro than 000 of tho pa tients for this hospital will come from tho Central hospital. Attention is iMiiiA.i to the fnot that more than $2.- 000.000 was appropriated by tho last legislature for tho maintenance and improvement of tho stnto hospitals for the Insnno. Tho extract from the report states: "At the last report. August 3t for the poor asylums and September 30 for the Jnils. there were 542 insane in the former class of institutions and 54 in the latter. In addition the county clerks report a total of 16S insane In their homos or with friends awaiting admission to stato hospitals. Altogether there wero reported 7G4 persons of this class not receiving treatment. It Is plain to be seen. therefore, that in order to carry out. the policy of the state additional pro vision is Imperative. vntiiini in nur entire ssvtem of public charities is more distressing than the enforced presence of insane persons In county poor asylums and jails. Thoso institutions lack proper facilities for caring for them. The secretary of this board, on a recent visit to nn asylum, found an Insane woman locked In a cell in the men's department of the custodial building. She had no privacy whatever. It Is true that many harmless cases whloh do not roqulre special care are to be found In the asylums.

Dec. 7. Every prep aration has been made by President Tnfl to send a special message to con gress asking for executive authority to plnco an army of occupation in Nicaragua, if later developments make such a stop necossnry.
