New Batch In a Composite Gotham ric-ture Study of tlie Specie. -Ao Interest-lug- Combination. When Noreross attempted to loosen Uncle Russell Sage's purse strings with dynninitc a couple of years ago, as usually happens after such an event, other cranks with manias more or less violent sprang up on every side. The New York World selected ten of the most notable specimens of this crop, and with the aid of a camera made them Into a composite picture which exhibited some startling results. Immediately following the assassin ation of Mayor Harrison another tidal wave of the same sort struck New York, and to that remarknWe photo graph ten more cranks of the last iiatch have been added, nnikiiifrof it an "up-to-date" composite picture of twenty cranks. It will make an inter-e.-.tinfr study for physiognomists. Most of these unfortunates are pitia ble objects. They are poor, shabby, and even pathetic, and ordinarily would pass for what the doctors call liliopat hie cases, aud w hat we know as harmless, lint they are likely to pasa very quickly from melancholia to acute mania under the stimulus of exeitinff causes. Henry f rank, wno uesirea 10 kill the Cuban consul and carried about with him an apple which he in sisted he had chipped off the moon, presents an interestinjr case of "delu sion" in itself of no particular peril un til it becomes focused upon an act of violence. That he was influenced by the event in Chicago was instantly mown when he was arrested by. the voluntary information that he had been selected to kill Mayor Harrison, hut the other fellow trot, ahead of him. Under proper treatment in an asylum this man would have been tractable enough, and the treatment would have been mainly efficacious by removing the causes of irritation.

Tlio dry dust causes inflamed eyelids, and the work is so trying that women are worn out long before middle age. In the china tiado the clay dust settles year by year in the lungs until con sumption results. In the white-lead trade horrors are found quite equal to those of the phos phorus match trade. Lead is in it-self highly poisonous, aud the most dan gerous part of the process of making the ordinary blue pigs of lead into the deadly white carbonate is carried on by women, because it requires less muscular strength than the rest. Cakes of lead are put to ferment in tan and acetic acid for three months, and then the cakes have to be grubbed out of the mixture by hand, the poison getting under the finger nails. After being ground to powder under water the dir.hes of domp lead have to be placed in a stove to dry for a fort flight. The worst part is w hen these pour women have to take away the dry, hot, white carbonate, of lead from tlie stoves. Kvcn the muffled heads, the woolen respirators, the sack overalls, fail to keep out the deadly dust. They rarely live many years; sometimes a few weeks or months bring on the symptoms of acute lead poisoning, to which they rapidly succumb. This white carbonate of lead is used for glazing china and enamel ad vertisements. The only safeguard would be in prohibiting the manufac ture, and it would be possible to do so, for various substitutes are in the market. A SUCCESSFUL DANCE. its it!

At this Ktaifo in the proceedings one darky, who had traveled and been present as a waiter at the ed;liw? ot Home white folks, Riiirircsted that the proper tliintf to do was to throw shoes after the ilepaitintf couple as iney drove away. The idea took immensely, and such a seramblino; as followed when the col ored belles and henu.v liejrau to divest their feet of boots and shoes of various sizes and weights! Many of the men had no stockings on beneath their shoes, but that made no difference. They all hunt,' back, suppressing their enthusiasm until the happy (rroom brought a bale stick down on the back of the mule and started his bridal trip. Then with a howl of joy the truest s burst forth and bewail a fusillade which was by no means rel ished by the happy pair. The air was tilled with flying mis siles. One gigantic boot struck the e-room in the small of the back and drew from him a wild yell of agony Another hurtling through the air with unerring aim struck the bride full ou the head and knocked her senseless. This was too much for the groom. 1. eitning from his cart, with his hale stick in baud, he set about t. thrash every one of the guests. As might be Inferred, a wild riot ensued, or was Bbout to, when a policeman came up aud put a stop to it. Nothing, how ever, could appease the dusky groom until the otllcer assured him that he was not the victim of an indignity, but merely the object of a bridal custom sucb as white folks ulwavs observed. J1 00,000, with the interest of (528,000 all in pennies, comes under the same head of delusion, with the symptoms of acute mania more clearly marked. The faces of these men at first sight are to-1 tally unlike. Frank is a man nf emo tional temperament, tall, slender and rather good looking, with curly hair jnd a rather pleasing expression. Iteilly is also slender, but his face is haggard, melancholy and careworn. Mis clothes were neglected and his hair matted. Hut in both men there was observable the mental stress in the fixed gaze, the wrinkling of the brow, attendant upon any effort to hold the mind to a sequence, and the stealthy drop of the head. They both used their hands in a peculiar manner, the lingers working automatically, and they both started at times as if some illusive sounds had put them on their guard. An alienist who saw With men saiil that' Frank would, if he lived, be come an imbecile, and Iteilly would at the slightest provocation commit an unreasonable act of violence. The policemen are (retting to know the glitter of a crnk eye that fore boding basilisk gleam in the iris. ltreilhag, the Swede, who claimed that he owned the Wilson steamship line and wanted $T,",U0O on account, pre served the most amiable manner until rolieetnan itose had him within a stone's throw of the Yorkville police court. - Then the mania overtook him. In an instant he was converted into a madman, let out a wild yell and started on a desperate run. When finally captured he Has a raving maniac, and fought with the irrational desperation of a tieud. If y.m take the prolile of Henry Frank mid that of ltreilhag and put them together you will notice the same line iu the receding foreheads. .1 .Margolin Andrews, who. demanded So.tiutl from Edwin tlould, has not, from appearances and from ac counts of him, reached the de velopment of acute mania. This ap pears to be ft ease of pure and simple melancholia, and can only excite pity ' so far as it has gone, lint even here there was obsei'vublc in the pathos of this man and the sullen desperation of Thomas Hradley, who shot Superinten dent Mathes in the postal telegraph building, some lurking-resemblances of eye and action. That expression can be best described as that of a hunted ani mal. They are all pursued. Some ghost of their misfortunes keeps step w ith them aud eventually takes pos session of them. They all wear, at times, the strained looi; of having dwelt too long with their own miseries. The artist has grouped these points of agrecnieut in the various urauks in ue composite face. In this feat the camera may be said to have done what Ila.lett once said a great painter can do who makes a portrait reveal, the secrets that the sitter all his life con cealed. A V.w Iocld.uU That Uldn't Disturb tb. Fiddler. The party was given at a farm house, and about thirty couples were present, said the Toledo Blade. I told the farmer when I first arrived that I should depend upon him to give me at least five minutes' notice before any shooting began, and he replied: -"I'll-do it. I shall be watchin' out, and I think I can give yo1 plenty of time to get out of range." "There will be shooting, of course?" "Oh, certainly. The boys would feel that they had slighted me if there wasn't a row." - "What do the women folks do when the shooting begins?" . "Sit right down on the floor till it's all over. Don't be a bit oneasy. I'll give ye' plenty of warnin'." There was only one fiddler, and he was also the caller, says the Detroit Free Press.. -His calls puzzled me at first, but no one else appeared to mind it a9 he drawled:. "Right and left on the head, and Bill Taylor don't want to drop that revolver on the floor! Balance four and half promenade, and Jim Henderson has a knife in his boot-leg! Ladies change, and Luke Williams is aching to pick a fuss with Tom Bebeel All balance to partners, and when the shootin' begins please remember that the fiddler never takes sides!" We had been dancing about an hour, and everybody seemed to be thoroughly good-natured and at peace with all mankind, when the farmer beckoned to me and whispered: "I said I'd give yo' five minutes' warn- in', but I'm two minutes behind timet Break for the barn!" I broke, but was not over thirty feet ' from the door when the shooting be gan. It lasted about five minutes, and i cautiously returned to the house to hear the fiddler calling in the same old monotonous voice: I "Take partners for Virginia reel, and don t make sich a fuss over three men wounded! First lady and gent for ward and back, and Bill Taylor has gone after a doctor! Forward again and sasha, and somebody attend to that gal in hysterics! Swing with the right now with the left, and if this isn't the most successful dance of the season, then you folks needn't pay me a cent!" THE STREET. CAhi SPOTTER. IJ. Hfwin lab UK ( .inductor liy Mean. f u S;:,-,-.t l,'i;,-t JN-eNter. For sevt 1 tin. nt lis c -.nduetors have been watching men who habitually stand o: rear platforms, 'ays the In dianapolis News. That is the spot ter's position. Professional spotters never "give themselves away" by counting the passengers. The spotter carrys ajimall noiseless register in one of tlie pockets of his overcoat, lie is most likely to appear on a car that is to carry a big load. II takes his place on the rear platform and always appears to be the most unconcerned man on the ear. The first thing he does is to glance at the register in the front of the car. He makes mental note of the number of fares that have been rung up. Every time a passenger get3 on he presses the button of the little register in Ills pocket. lie never appears to be watching the persons who are getting in the car, but he must be careful not to miss one. He rides on the platform until the faresof all the persons who have got on the car since he took his position have been col lected. His last act before getting off is the mental registration of the num ber of fares indicated by the register in the car. If he has another test to make before making his report, he will probably stop under the first electric light, write down on the blauk fur nished him the number of fares regis tered when he got on the car and the number registered when he got off. He subtracts one from the other, and has. before him the number of fares the conductor should have registered. Then he looks at his indicator, and if there is a dis crepancy between his count and the count the conductor registers ne re ports the.fact to the company. A conductor who is disciiargeu is never accused of having stolen money from the company. The charge is "im properly collecting fares." It is not often that a conductor is discharged the first time it is reported to the com pany that he is "improperly collecting fares." The test is applied to him fre quently, and if it is found that he is habitually not ringing up fares for all the persons who take passage on his car he is dismissed. Conductors be lieve that the means employed by spotters are unfair. They say that it is often impossible for any man to get all the fares on a car; that it is an easy matter to get all the fares when a car is not crowded, but when fifty or sixty persons board a car bound up town it is next to impossible to collect without an error. Often persons will get off the car before the conductor has reached them, and, hampered as he is by the crowd, they say, he cannot prevent this. Then persons are getting on and oil, exchanging seats and doing other th ings that mystify t he cond uctor as he pushes his way through tho erowd in search of the nickels that ar due the company.

Betsey Patterson Bonaparte the sister-in-law of an emperor, was born in Baltimore, and after living manv years abroad returned to her na tive land, where she passed the last years of her life. She was a woman of preat beauty, but of an ungovernable 1 temper. A writer in the Boston 1 rans- criot tells how her sense of humor once enabled her to accept a reproof graciously. One of the old lady's crack stories in her latter days was of a lesson In eti quette given iier by the black butler of , her host. At breakfast she motumed to him and handed him her cup, wish ing a second cup of tea. Uncle Bob, j instead of taking the cup to his mis tress at the head of the table, put it down with a great flourish ou the sideboard. "But I wanted another cup of tea," said lime. Bonaparte. "Did you, mum'?" blandly asked Uncle Bob. "You see, mum, you put your spoon In de saucer, an' dat means you doan' want no mo' tea. When you wants some mo' tea de c'rect wav is to put de spoon in de cup like dis heah," and I'ncle Bob gravely illustrated the "c'rect" method of procedure. The family were on thorns, expect ing an outbreak from the sister-in-law of an emperor, although there is no doubt that a black butler in his own bai liwick could face an emperor him self; but Betsey was only amused, and laughed heartily. After fifty years of money getting and money saving she realized in the FOLLOWING A PRECEDENT. Old Bill Botts Had Found the Haatnen Chinee Not at All Accommodating:. A good, honest fellow in his way was Bill Botts, but lie had never had an op portunity to study moral philosophy as taught in the colleges una universi ties, says the New York Herald. lie came from Biddeford, in Devon, and very likely some of his ancestors had helped Drake "wallop ' the !panitiviis. He had followed in their footsteps by enlisting in the navy to tight for his nucen and country whenever called upon to do so. When he returned from a voyage to China he brought with him a present for a gentleman who had been very kind to his old mother during his absence. It was a curiously fashioned Chinese garment made of bits of f species of straw strung together. "Plase, sur, vou must excoos un be ine torn," he said, bashfully, when he presented it, "the Chinaman wouldn't part with un aisy." He hA run across a Chinaman wear ing it somewhere in the streets of Hons Kong, and the unfortunate celestial not understanding his sum marv request to "hand that over here" he had simply yanked it off him. To the suggestion that his conduct had hardly been consistent with strict honesty he replied: "Beggin' your pardon, sur, he wui only a haythen, an' I never heard that taking things from a haythen counted as stalin'." "Well." replied his friend, "if many illustrious Englishmen had not acted on that assumption I don t know where the British empire would now be; so I'll keep the heathen's gar ments." ORIGIN OF HOSPITALS. The Work of Klnic In the Third Century lle.ore Christ. Hospitals, as we now understand the term, are of modern growth, says the Quarterly Review. True it is, as M Burdett tells us in the historical sec tion of "Hospitals and Asylums of th World," that in the records of Egypt and ancient India we find allusions to institutions that foreshadow the hos pitals of latter times, and even-our asylums for sick animals are borrowed from the east. An inscription engraved on. a rock near the city of Surat tells how Asoka, a king who reigned in Gujerat in the third century B. C, commanded the es tablishment of hospitals in all his di minions and placed one at each of the four gates of the royal city of l'atna.

Kange in Grant and Morrow latter part of her life how futile it all I visited India in 309 A.D., records that flourished, but the successive floods conquest swept all away, and by the beginning of this century only a hos pital for animals remained of all the pious kind's foundations. Ancient Egyptian records are more vague in the allusions to the treatment of the sich, but it seems likely, from a legend which is given in the "Papyrus Kbers," that a clinic existed in connec tion with the Temple of lleliopolis. It is equally probale that, if the history of the temples of EsculapiuS could be unveiled, we should find that in them also a hospital supplemented the shrine, and that the sick who offered sacrifices there found something more than "faith healing" within their walla But from none of these are our hospitals derived; they were destroyed or forgotten in the barbarian con quests, and so utter is the oblivion into which they fell that it is now an article of the popular creed that it is to Christianity we owe the first idea of care for the sick and afflicted.
