Osborn and Fairfield over territory for an­ nexation was heard before the county commissioners Monday but an* agree­ ment was reached that was satisfac­ tory to both sides. I t was agreed that the. Ohio Electric Railway be the dividing line between the two village and that each would have about 1Q0" acres for annexation I Osbcm had’asked for about 150 acres j to the north of Fairfield which would | have bottled Fairfield on the north and east while the government owns everything to the west.. Osborn has prospects of needing larger territoy for development due to the erection of two huge cement plants that will employ hundreds «f men. With the development of the new' aviation plant Osborn will no doubt be the gainer due to her natural ad­ vantages, a model town Well laid out withal] the advantages of city water, power and light, traction and train service possible. Fairfield can hope for little in the way of development, not having these advantages. In a few years Osborn will be one of the most beautiful towns in Ohio.

One of the show places of Lon­ don two centuries ago was the Bethlehem hospital, popularly known sis “014 Bedlam.” Up to as late as 1770, this famous hospital was still regarded as the rare show place if the City. No more diverting en­ tertainment could be devised by the average citizen fo r guests than to Lake them for a hearty laugh, to Bed­ lam to see the madmen cursing, rav­ ing and fighting. There was to be had on show “St. Paul” or “Julius Caesar” chained to he wall, or “Semiramis” or “Joan of Arc” ironed to the floor while the gentle throng le ft a t liberty* was guarded by brutal, keepers ready on the slightest provocations to knock them Senseless with heavy clubs. The annual fees derived from this public- entertainment amounted to several hundred pounds. No one seems to have fe lt any pity for the wretches. Think of the state of -ignorance .that must have prevailed to permit these revolting atrocities. Think of how deeply rooted must have been this belief when a son Would turn against his own poor mother. Think of the man who was for the remain­ der of his life chained to his bed; think of the poor woman chained In the dark, damp dungeon having broad thrown. to hor a t odd times* straw I Permission to try the mad experi­ ment once given, some of the first results will be found ‘recorded in the following abridgment of a portion <jf a memoir read by the son of Pinel before the Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences: “Near the close of the year 1792, M* Pinel, having* repeatedly. im­ portuned the government to issue a decree permitting him to unchain the maniacs a t the Bicetre, went in person to solicit what had been re­ fused to his written representations. With courage and resolution he urged the removel of this cruel abuse. At length M. Couthaii, mem­ ber of the Commune* yielded to the importunate arguments of Pinel, and consented to meet him a t the hospital to witness these first experiments as well as to assure himself that this was not a stratagem to give liberty to political offenders. “Couthon proceeded himself to question the patients, but received only abuse and execrations, ac­ companied by terrible cries and tho clanking of chains. Retreating from the damp and filthy cells he ex­ claimed to Pinel, ‘do as you will; but you will be sacrificed to this false sentiment of mercy!’ Pinel delayed no longer. He selected 50 whom he believed might be released from their chains without danger to others. The fetters were removed, first from 12, using the precaution of having pre­ pared strong jackets, closing behind, with long sleeves, which could he used if necessary. . “The experiments commenced with an English captain whose history was unknown. He had been in chains 40 years! As ho was thought to bo one of the most dangerous, having killed a t one time an attendant with a blow from his manacles, the keepers ap­ proached him with caution; hut first Pinel entered his cell unattended, ‘Ah, well, captain, I will cause you* chains to be taken off; you shall have liberty to walk in the court, if you will promise to behave like a gentle­ man, and offer no assult to those you will meet/ ‘I would promise,’ 'said the maniac, ‘but you deride me, you are amusing yourself a t my expense; you all fear me, once free.’ ‘I hate } - (Continued 0n laat page.) the Stark county workhouse lor flog ging William L, Shaw., , ^ • J.
