SUFFERING OF INSANE.
Board of Charities to Devise Means of
Relief.
II is learned that the Jails in tlie
western part of the State hold many
Insane people who are not able t
admittance to the Western Hospital for
the Insane, at Morganton, because that
Institution Is already crowded to a dau.
gerous extent. Dr. Murphy, the super
intendent, in a letter to the members of
the Board of Charities, says that so
many patients are already being cared
for that the danger of accident or of
tuberculous infection, a constant men
ace In such places, is very great.
In order to devise means for meeting
the situation and to provide if possible
for this class of our unfortunate Dr.
Charles Duffy, of Newbern. chairman,
has called the Board of Charities to
meet at Morganton on the ISth of this
month.
It Is the purpose of the board to
make a full investigation of the facts,
and to lay the results of the investiga
tion before the public as it finds them.
It is hoped by Dr. Murphy that tin
board will find a way to give the care
to the insane that is needed.
Meet on 18th.
The Executive Committee of the
Hoard of Directors of the State Prison
will meet in Raleigh on the 18th in
stant, when certain matters of impor
tance are to be considered. Mr. W. C.
Newland, a member of the committee,
could not be present at thi3 meeting
and so nothing of importance was
done. Among the things that the com
mittee took up early in the spring, juot
after the General Assembly adjourned,
was an examination of the accounts
tne Mate prison for the time that it
was under Fusion control, and also -
Investigation of the freezing of convicts
on the farm under Summerell's control.
Doth of these matters were looked lu-
to by the committee, but their finding
In neither case has been made public,
except in a general way.
Bg Suit to Be Heard.
Uy far the greatest suit in which th

postponement. It Is positively an
nounced there will be none. It is learn
ed there are nearly 5,000 affidavits in
the case. The railways have taken them
to prove that other property is not tax
ed over 60 per cent, of it3 .true value,
while the State's affidavits are to show
that other property is taxed as fully as
railways.

of my youth hid come bick. Some
years ago they disappeared and I have
wcidered what became of them. A
Jaybird lith only cne leg comes 'every
day to tne fountain to. drink, l am
trying to make a friend of him. bu
he -H very shy ard suspicious. Some
cruel boy hit him wh a sling shot. I
reckon, for I see them sometimes i
the back all trying to get a eh-ot at my
pigecais. Maybe that Jaybird will meet
that boy in purgatory. Boys ace t i
mean about killing bird-s as cur gov

These pigeons that have a happy hcm
at my house are an interesting study
for the yoirag people. We have about
a hundred cf them, and some of them
are ever before us as we alt on the
veranda. They ere of many colors.
frcan almost black to a pure snow
white, and at all hours of the day they
gather at the little hydcant fountain In
the front yaid and drink and then fly
away. Tie pigeon is the only bird
that drinks by draught or suction, as
we do. All other birds raise their
hends and let the water run down by
gravity and then dip ths till down for
another drop. Pigeons do not feed
their young with worms cr bugs, but
the old bird3 digest their food in their
own craws into a curd and eject it into
the mouths of their young. Hence it
is that very young pigeon ? or squabs
generally die when they are givea
away. Pigeons are cot exactly polya
mists, but the male3 have no particu
lar mate and they will feed the young
of any mother. Indeed; they do mo3t
of the feeding. They are not galll
naceous nor razores. Now let tho
young people hunt up these big words.
They can walk, . but ca anot hop. Most
all other birds can hop. but cannot
walk. Of cs-urte pigeons are pigeon-
toed, and so are some 'folkswe koow.
A pisecn-toed girl generally wears
long dresses. Then there ia a lan
guage called pigeon-English. It ia
really pidgin English, for pldgeon U a

pidgen English is a mixture of Chinese
and English and of signs by which
bufdness is transacted in the port3 be
