Crippen and W entitling

The capture of two notorious criminals means only that society is gradually making it impossible to "make a get-away." That is a much more effective medium for the deterring of crime than the death penalty. .

Work Horses

The premium book of the Fall Festival has been issued. On page 5 Is to be found an entry class for Work Horses. The world is moving toward better things. Of that there is little doubt, when the ordinary, the average and the hard working industrial1 are recognized. Time was when the Perchefon was not a beast of ordinary -burden. He was the war horse carrying the proud Norman to conquest. But when the feudal field turned from robber barons to the forces of predatory wealth and the automobile has usurped the place of the steed wit the heavy shoulders well the mighty one has become the drawer of express wagons. At that the prde of the charger is quite as well developed in his present condition of servitude we are glad that he is to be recognised.

The Insane

For our part if the county authorities insist on building an addition to the Jail they should make a full and complete statement to the citizens of this county setting forth their position as fully and clearly as the County Board of Charities have done. From what we know of the financial condition of this county a little carefulness for a number of yearB will pull the tax rate down. That is a thing that vitally affects the average man whether he actually pays taxes or not. When an appropriation is made It should be asked whether there is an actual gain made financially or otherwise. But in a case of humanity the pure business standard does not prevail. Then the Question comes up, does the improvement accomplish as much or more than what can be secured In another way? This being so, we regard it as a pleco of good policy on the part of the authorities to set forth their position and to say whether or not they believe the amount of money to be expended on an addition to the jail is justifiable when the facts seem to be that the Insane can be cared for more cheaply and under more healthful and beneficial conditions at the County Infirmary. As we say we think it is desirable that the authorities make a public statement going into the details of the case.

Finis" Written on the Life of John G. Carlisle, Yesterday

New York, Aug. 1. After making a valiant fight against the occasional attacks of acute indigestion, which have prostrated him periodically, for years, John G. "Carlisle, who was the distinguished secretary of the treasury under Grover Cleveland in the latter's second administration as president died last night in the hotel Wolcott, at Fifth avenue and Thirty-first street. He was 75 years old. At his bedside when he passed away were Mrs. W. H. Carlisle, his daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren. There was a sharp turn for the worse in the condition of Mr. Carlisle early Sunday morning, and the physi cians then announced that he could not possibly survive another 24 hours, al though this had been said of him on previous occasions, when his extraor dinary vitality pulled him through the crisis. Patient's Brave Struggle. Dr. Edward E. Gardner, the family physician, was called to attend Mr. Carlisle when ha had a fresh attack of indigestion at the woicott about a week ago, and In a few days Dr. Joseph -T. Bryant a personal . friend of Mr. Carlisle was summoned in con sultation. Mr. Morria Carpenter, the hotel physician was also In attendance at times. Despite all that could be done the aged man grew weaker day by day, al though he had occasional rallies, even when the physicians thought he was breathing his last. On Friday night he grew so weak that there was scarcely a spark of life in his body, but to the surprise of all he showed unusually good symptoms In the next hour or two. When he began to sink early Sunday morning the 'physicians were inclined to look for another rally, but it soon became evident to them that he was not equal to the task, and his breathing was so low and the heart action so slow, as to be almost Imperceptible. Oxygen then was administered but did not seem to give any material aid to the patient The vital spark was all but gone. .Atrial Rally a Surprise. . At th the noon hour Mr. Carlisle show. ed feeble signs of a rally, but there was a, relapse In a few momenta and he lost consciousness. The physicians continued . the oxygen and kept their patient barely alive. They were as-

This lasted about 1Q minutes, when the patient again lapsed into uncon sciousness and he did not open his eyes again. The last severe attack Mr. Cariisl had was in November last when he became., a patient in St. Vincent's hos pital. Then, to the amasement of thts physicians he began to rally, and in a short time was able to leave the hos pital.

A SHORT SERMON BY A BROTHER-IN-LAW Text: Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some' have en tertained angels unaware. Heb 13-2. A few years before the civil war two men were prominent in Ohio politics, one of whom gained a national reputation. They were know as Sam Cox, democrat, and Sam Galloway, re publican. They were both bright. smart and witty, stumped, the Colum bus congressional district together. and .were personal friends. People of all parties went to hear the debates, not only for the political effect, but for the amusement from the humor of the speakers which was better than a min strel show. In the campaign the for mer gained, the sobriquet of Sunset Cox. He was elected to congress, if I am not mistaken, two terms. He after wards moved to New York City and was elected from that city several times. He became known as the wit of the capital The following story was told of him. Once his business required him to stop in Philadelphia. He decided to go to church, and when near the time walked leisurely along the street when he came to an imposing structure that proved to be an Episcopalian church. He entered, and the usher being en gaged, or not at hand, took a seat at the inner end of one of the best pews. Soon a stylish gentleman came to the entrance, looked upon the occupant as if a serious mistake had been made and took his seat at the end next the aisle. The intruder was "neither well nor fashionably attired, but seemed perfectly at his ease. The gentleman took a card and penciled on it, "This is my pew. John Ingham," and hand ed it to the interloper. The intruder took the card, read it, leisurely took a pencil from his pocket and wrote on the same card, "It is a d good pew What do you pay for it. Samuel S. Cox." Astonishment gave way to sociabil ity and the men became friends. In January 1804, I was in New Or leans, a' soldier in the Federal army an exchanged prisoner of war, waiting to be sent to my regiment then stationed in Matagorda, Texas. One Sunday I attended one of the principal churches; when ' I entered the usher gave me a seat well back, though, being early, the auditorium was nearly empty; but Federal soldiers were expected to take back seats. Soon after I was seated there came a soldier wearing a soiled officer's overcoat and he was given a seat in the last row back. He was a fine looking fellow with a large head of brown hair, and smiled as he took the designated seat. The church was filled to about two thirds of its capacity. The tempera ture rose and the bushy haired sol dier removed his overcoat when there were displayed shoulder straps with two stars. The usher asked me who that officer was. I told him that was Maj.-Gen. N. P. Banks, commander of the army in the southwest The usher went forward in the church, had a hasty conversation with those who were evidently church officials when two of them went to the general and asked him to take a seat further forward. He declined saying he preferred to stay where he was. Apologies were gracefully offered and graciously accepted. The following occurrence took place at Champaign, 111., about 18So. The aristocratic church of the city was the Presbyterian of which the writer was a pew holder and brother-in-law. One Sunday a good looking stranger came and was given a seat towards the back part of the church in one of the pews set apart for visitors. The next Sunday he came again; and it was noticed that he sang hymns as only one could who had a good voice, was welt versed in music and interested. Again he came and was given a seat next the paid pews. The members asked each other "Who Is the stranger?; but no one seemed cordial enough to' converse with the gentleman. Thepreacher shook hands with him formally at the chcurch door. This contined for several weeks. Meanwhile it was learned that the stranger had bought a lot on Green street where he proposed to build a location where the majority were mechanics. This was, of course, against the stranger. v The new-comer ceased attending the Presbyterian church and stopped one square away at the Congregational. Meantime a goodly bouse, which overshadowed those In the immediate vicinity, began to show its proportions and architecture. It then became known that the stranger's name was Kimball that he was the professor who, the next Fall, would take a prom inent place in the University of Illi nois that he had been an estimable member of the Presbyterian church at the place from whence he came that he had a family, some of whom were grown, and all were, In a modest way, musicians. As soon as this became known the church officers met the professor and asked him to unite with the Presbyterian, church. He declined and without giving a reason stated that he had af filiated with the Congregationansts. Professor Kimball became the lead er of the Congregationallst choir which rose to be the best in the city. It has been said that musicians are good for little outside their music, but it did not apply in this case. He became a valued member and active worker In the church. The learned and liberal Doctor Pierce and the pro fessor became fast friends. Sometimes brothers-in-law are con suited. Certain Presbyterians came to the writer and askad "What in the world caused Professor Kimball to go to the Congregationalists?" ; replied, "You were too cold too offish. You wanted to know It h 3 were rich? If his family came over in the Mayflower if his relatives were connected with British royalty, or

Doctor Pierce met him, made his ux.umumuw uu xuuuu uiiu a ei j superior man. xou nave not enter1!! "ranger and the angel has!. escaped If Professor Kimball should come to Richmond, of which church would he become a member? . Items Gathered In ' From Far and Near The English Suffrage Vote. From the New York Evening Post Detailed figures of the vote on the woman suffrage bill in the house of commons are now at hand. The vote of 299 in favor of its second reading was made up of 151 liberals, 87 con servatives, 31 labor members and 20 Irish nationalists. In the opposing list of 1S9 were found 113 conservatives, 60 liberals, 14 nationalists and 2 labor members. One sees how the question was at a sword for the dividing asunder of parties. On the vote immediately following to refer the bill to committee of the whole house, instead of to a special committee there were a number of abstentions and many 1 changes from one side to the other,; the final result being to carry the motion by 320 to 175. In the majority the conservatives t-umbered 176, the liberals 124, while in the minority were recorded 1C1 liberals 'and 29 con servatives. The adoption of this mo tion to refer has been said to mean the indefinite postponement of the suffrage bill. But this was not the understanding of Mr. Maldane, secretary for war, who voted for the second reading and afterward for the reference to the committee of the whole, the latter on the express ground that the suffr age bill had now become a first-Class question, and so entitled to be dealt with by the house as a whole. It is, of course, for the government to de cide whether facilities shall be grant ed in the autumn session for taking up the measure, but whatever that de cision may prove to be, there can be no doubt that the vote on second reading has made woman suffrage a firstclass question in English politics. Prison Reforms. From the San Francisco Chronicle. England has long stood in need of the reformed methods of prison management which Winston Churchill proposes. The details of prison life as revealed by Mrs. Maybrlck and others seem unnecessarily harsh as compared with the treatment given Incarcerated persons here. Peoixl methods accomplish their purpose better when all aspects of injustice are removed from them, a Jact which is better understood here than it seem to be in the old country. Publicity. From the Toledo Blade. A former vice president who denounced the muckrakers can obtain a respectful hearing, but he can't expect to break into the procession again with that platform. A better way would be to walk out Into the street, carefully spread apart the coat tails, sit down and quietly sip a cocktail. n ia n iiiiltirn sa mnSm snd at the thmaoplaaaMUtoarr.Cala-4STn9 ?epalawtaesslila aaaeferonsiseaoaa ariatag too stomach treaue. xae

The Talking Stone By CURNONSKY

My daughter's hand! I should let my daughter marry a loafer like you, a pauper who has not got a sou to his i name' Do I look like a fool?. Get out - 'melJk "crT ' AnTd VSt ! let me catch you sneaking around , "The Crowned Ox' again, or you will be Invited to attend your own funeral." And in spite of the ironical smiles of the guests on the hotel piazza, who were amused at the sight of his ange Maitre Berdigauz, the host of "the Crowned Ox" drove the unfortunate suitor away' with his napkin. ., Had It been any other man than the charming Annette's father who had treated him like this, Reno BelHard would at least have broken two or three of his ribs, bu he thought of the future and stammered,: "but we love each other Annette and I." "Let Annette come and tell me that and I win give her something else to think about. My daughter Annette, the prettiest girl in the country, who is to have a dowry of 25,000 francs, marry a waiter. . Never!" Bellaird felt that he was losing control of himself. "It is all right. Maitr Berdlgeaux." he said, "I am going now, but I will not say goodbye yet You will hear from me, and don't you forget it." He walked off slowly, followed with sympathetic glances by two English Misses, who rather liked the athletic looking young fellow with the curly hair. Maitre Berdlgeaux, who felt that his guests were siding with the enemy went back to his kitchen and a few moments later there came the sound of blows and the sobbing of a woman, telling the guests of a prolonged discussion of the marriage question. . Although having thus asserted his paternal authority, the host of "The Crowned Ox" felt ratlier uneasy at heart and . regretted having been so rough on Belllard. Not that he thought for a moment of accepting him as son-in-law, but he remembered how difficult it would be how, at the very height of the season, to get a man as faithful and reliable as his former waiter. Belllard was as good as a whole staff of waiters and what was now to become of the celebrated echo tliat bad made his inn famous. "The Crowned Ox" owed its wholo popularity, which extended far beyond the boundaries of Brittany, to the proximity of a famous rock. This rock, known as "the talking stone," not only commanded a magnificent i vjew or. tne sea, but ir. also bad a voice, which would have made Caruso turn green with envy. The strangest thing was that nobody had heard of this echo before Berdlgeaux discovered it The former owner of Tbe Crowned Ox", who sold the inn for . few thousand francs, had never even suspected its existence, but a few months later the echo was discovered, and the story of its wonderful qualities told to half a million readers In a Paris newspaper, with the result that tourists came from all : parts of the country and inside of three years "The Crowned Ox. was the most prosperous hotel on all the coast between Tregannec and Plouvllli, and Maitre Berdlgeaux had been forced - to add two stories to the main building and build a big garage. Now the famous echo was not quite aa natural as people thought, and this scoundrel Belllard knew the secret of

5SSr?

it He alone besides Berdlgeaux and Annette knew bow It was made to repeat even words of five or six syllables in an almost heavenly voice, and the very next day the director of the Paris Apera was coming down to bear -it The thought of a scandal made neraigeaux iurn paie ana acxuauy kept him awake all night , , - . At ten the next forenoon three automobiles from Lannlon brought the great man and a crowd of friends and beautiful ladjes. As soon as they had had refreshments they asked to hear the famous talking stone. "A rock that has a million In iti throat," said the director and. slapped Berdlgeaux on the back. Maitre Berdlgeaux led on the caravan as the only guide and after half an hour's walk along rocky paths and through shady woods the party, came to a small beach walled in by two perpendicular rocks, and at the end of this narrow passage was seen the famous talking stone arising from the sea. Maitre Berdlgeaux mas pale with fright for he had just discovered on the top of .the rock the familiar silbouetta of Belllard, but his voice was quite firm as he shouted the familiar question: "Echo, are you there?" '"Tfes, A am here," came the surprising answer in a beautiful sonorous voice. "I am here. Maitre Berdlgeaux. to tell you that I am tired of playinjjr echo for three years." ; "A roar of laughter greeted these words and all the tourif-ts stared at Berdlgeaux who was crestfallen with grief and red wits indignation. Suddenly the voice sang the aong of Fortunio as no one ever heard It sung before. Silence fell upon the merry crowd and when the song was over the director cried in an ecstacy of enthusiasm: "I engage you on the spot my boy! Five thousand francs a rtonth to start on. Is that enough?" "That'e a word," cried Belllard. The new- singer created a sensation at the opera and soon made a fortune. He married Annette Berdlgeaux though her father never forgave him for destroying the famous talking stone. "COMPLICATION OF DISEASSS How often one hears this expression. It means a condition in which no one disease fully develops, but symptoms of various disorders are present Poisoned, impure blood Would explain the cause in nine out of ten such cases. It matters not if the blood be poisoned by inoculation, or by the failure of one or more of the important glands of the body to perform their duties, a powerful alterative or blood purifier, is neeessary ..to cleans It, and In so doing removes the cause.
