INSANITY IN IIIUTAIN. The Lunacy Commissioners' Report Shows Increase. The annual report of the British Lun- acy Commissioners, published recently, shows u dLsquieling increase in the pep- ulalion of Great Britain's asylum.,. Al the beginning of this year one (nit cf every 282 persons in England and \Vases was reported to to insane. Ten years ago the ratio of insane persons sn: only ono to 314. From 1869 to 1906 tits population of England and Wales increased 55% per cent.., while the in- sane incrrnsed 133 per cent. A signiflcanl fact brought to light by the retort Is the spread of senile de- mentia, which nlone amounted for over 34 per cent. of last yenrs fresh lunacy cases. Discussing this phase of the situation, one medical authority ex- pressed the belief !lint we live too long lore the kind of work most of us do. "fhe advanced medical knowledge of le -day," saki the authority referred to, "keeps a multiluee of persons Alive whose minds nre practically worn out.

Seymour Barton, known from one end of America to the other as "Lord Il, rington," will not hang for murder- ing James elc(.ann four years ago, but wit: tndergo lifelong imprisonment. In commuting the sentence, the Governor of elisseurii announced : "No man in Missouri can be executed without his consent," and Barton apparently still trunks life worth living. Thus disappears (rorn the public slate another of the Tribe of bogus noblemen who Imposed themselves upon the gulli- bility of democratic people, many e1 whom, perhaps tho majority, still dearly love a lord. Barton's chief stuck -In - trade was a good English accent, a de- cent appearance, and colossal cheek. and these assets were used to advantage mere particularly in rural district-, where, on his meteoric visits, he War ap- parently welcomed with open rums. .STAIITED EARLY IN CRIME. Barton secured an early start in his rt,ra'r of crime. When but seven years of nge he \.•ns arrested at 'Tunbridge Wells, England, for incendiarism. Ile received a sentence of live years, but broke out of jail. When eighteen he became a more accomplished criminal, stole 880,000, was arrested and sen- tenced to ten years' imprisonment, but he forged pardon papers and again es- caper. Then he travelled in the best society, stele everything of value that he could find, visited France, Germany, Spain and India, and served terms of impri- sonment in all four countries. Alter- nately Barton was an adept and then a ttingler• in Tits crimes, Sometimes his performances battled the most. skilled detectives, and again his work was easily traced out. ills matrimonial was al- nlest as varied as his criminal career. MANY MARRIAGES. In 1889 he married Miss Celestine Elizabeth Miller, of New York, took ,ter to England, and deserted her. in 1902 Le married a young Canadian woman and deserted her three days later. in 1903, posing as Lord Barrington, he married beautiful Miss Wilhelmina Grace Cochran, of St. Louis, daughter of a Kansas City pork packer. She dis- ccvered that he was not a real lord and obtained a divorce, while Barington got six months in jail. Many other mar- riages are attributed to him. The bogus lord supposedly murdered 'eines McCann and a friend for his money, with the intention of moo- ing Mrs. McCann. McCann aided Bar- ton, taking him into his own home to live. In June, 1903, McCann disappeared from home, and a few dnys later his body was found in a quarry. Barton was arrested for the murder and con- victed.
