TRAIh LOAD OF LUNATICS
ON IVA Y TO BINGHAMTON, N. Y.
New York, D«c. 10.—Speeding toward
Binghamton today Is a solid train of
tire ears on the Lackawanna railroad,
• arrying 250 passengers, and erery pas
senger a lunatic. This train, the most
remarkable that was ever sent over a
I.ackawanna road, was made up at Ho-
bnken especially to take the 260 men
and women, all chronically Insane, from
New York, where they had been con
fined on Wards Island, to the Insane
asylum at Binghamton.
Other passengers In the crowded
Lacnkawanna station hardly knew that
the 250 men and women they saw tiling
Into the train were all Insand, some of
them afflicted with homicidal mania.
But- there was no demonstration on
the part of any of the patients, and all
were quietly seated In the train, which
pulled out shortly afterwards. Among
the patients were eight Japanese and
seven negroes.

LETTERS TO SANTA
FILL P0ST0FFI0E
’ Letters that arc pntbetlc ami which
show Implicit faith In Banta flaua and
1 the belief that he will not pass by the
homes of the poor are being received I
large numbers by Postmaster Blodgett
and under the Instructions issued from
Washington, ore being held to be ills
trlbuted to charity organizations, tt.
far Postmaster Blodgett has not re
celved any requests for these letters,
i but It Is probable that they will be
! turned over |o the Associated Chari
ties, the Salvation Army und other
1 charitable organizations.
; Many are the addresses which the
children give Santa Claus. The most
I popular address Is North Pole, altho
a few of them are addressed to Snow-
! town. One bears the name of "Hon.
Santa Claus. Wonderland." and still
. another places the abode of the kind-
( looking old gentleman In the "Ire Pul-
; ace.”
1 Of course, most of the letters come
from little children In the home, of
the poor where Santa flaua haa not
been such a frequent visitor In the past,
and many express the hope that lie will
be able 'to And the hou.e this year.
Few theatergoers familiar with the Hoyt
repertoire will qneatlou the verdict of the
rrltlra that "A Contented Woman.” to ap
pear at the llljnn nezt week, stands fore-
moat as a mlrth-ereator In the long Hat of
the gifted author's efforts In that direction.
Its story kindly satirises n folly and points
a mors! thru the most IndldRma situations
nnd n mass of quaint conceits and humorous
dialogue.
