The average annual Increase Is In excosH of 2 U persons. This, however, does not disclose tho true condition.

The so-called "liure.ise" Is got by tho lunacy commission statisticians partly by subtracting the number ot discharges from the number of admissions. Of theso discharges 7.fJ were reported as cured. The most striking thing about Insanity In England ami Wales is the death rate, which Is six times as high as the gener al death rate, and eight times as high as the general death rate would bo It the deaths of Insane were subtract! d before making up the average.

Tho double tragedy was discovered by an automobile party on their way to Amsden at 0 .110 o'clock this evening. The body of tho woman was sitting upright on the wagon seat, tho whip Mn one hand and the reins In tho othor, while In his front .varil reposed the body of the murdeier, his lifeless hands grusplnc the powerful rifle that had ended two lives. Two bullets had taken effect In the woman's body, one entering Just below her chin nnd coming out on the right r.ldu nf her neck, tho other striking about five Inches lower nnd en-.eiglng from her right side below the arm. The horse was shot through tho neck and the murdrer ended his own life with n bullet In the ohest, which passed completely through his oody and came out nt his hack. Mr. and Mis.

It Is supposed that this point was reach ed about .".:3o o'clock this afternoon. It Is probable that Mr. Iluey, upon seeing his wife approach ran to within If. feet and fired the ilrst shot nt her. She then start to whip the horse and he killed the beast with the next shot to prevent her escape. The third shot passed through the back of the carriage top and killed the woman Instantly. The murderer then stepped back to the yard and killed himself.

MONUMENT RAISED TO SETH WARNER. Col. (Mill Scott of lloniilnKlon fJlve Memorial 10 Hci olullonnry llrro To lie 1'im elled In Near I'oliire. Bennington, August 22.- Stagings wero removed tu-dny from about the monu 1111 nt miii statue to the memory of Col. Seth Warner, the Vermont revolutionary In 10, at I .ennlngp'ii C.nier The me morial, which Is tho vlft of Col. John Scott of Bennington, president of tho Hennlnuton Battle Monument and His torical society, stands nt the head of Monument aenue on the State land sur rounding tho Bennington battle monu ment, and Is the ilrst of a series which the society eventually hopes to seo lo cated on the grounds. It wns tho Intention of the donor that tho monument should bo officially un veiled on August hi, the anniversary of the battln of Bennington, but a delay mado necessary by a change In the In scriptions mado this Impossible. The monument, which Is 2 feet high. Including the statue, is carved from Harm granlto. The statue Is eight feet high nnd repi-osonts un offh-nr n continental uni form. As there Is no likeness of Colonel Warner In existence the only available method of securing anything llko a re semblance wns through the use of photo graphs of the colonel's descendants. Tho donor of the monument, whose an cestors took an active p.,n In tlm strug gles of Hie Oreen Mountain Boys, both during and previous to the Involution ury War, hin always Insisted that Col. Heth Warner was a much mom prom inent factor In the battln of Bennington than history credits. It Is because nf this ndmlratlon for tho part taken by Warner In tho revolutionary struggle and a feeling thnt tho leader of the Clreon Mountain Boys has never been given his rightful placo In history, that Colonel Scott planned a number of years ago to erect the monument. The donor is him self a member of the Sons of the Amerl can involution nnd so far as he baa lKen nhlo to learn Is the only member of that society who wo admitted through the record of 11 woman In the war for American Independence. During tho year In which the battle of Bennington wns. fought Mores Sage, Colonel Scott's grandfather, owned nnd operated tho village gristmill at North Bennington, which nt that tlmo was the largyst set tlement In town. On the day before the battle of Bennington, Colonel Warner and his Orreii Mountain Boys, 147 In number, arrived at North Bennington on their way to Join (Jen. John Stark. Every nhln-bodlecl mnn In the village had en listed In Oencral Btsjk's drmy .nd they had taken with thom every particle of food on which they could Iny their hands. The 147 hunfrry noldlere had to bo fed In eomo fnahlon nnd the problem wns solved by tho women, Mrs, Hngo slarted the gristmill with a largo ctmn tlty of corn In tho hopper nnd the womon nnd boys who were too small to follow the army went into the pnstutes and mllknd every cow In the nelghliorhood. Heart ened with a good ration of hasty pudding nnd milk Colonel Warner's men marched westward to tnko their part In the bat tle which history records was the turn ing point In the war. When Colonel Scott sent his application for member ship In the Hons of the American Revolu tion he made It on tho strength of his grandmother's record nnd It wan granted. Tho monument stands on a baso 10 feet F(iiaro.
