GRAND JURY RETURNS TEN

T Turns Over Mass of Evidence for Incoming Authorities to Use in Preserving Order. (Continued from Paee One.) bad. Although the facilities for ventilation are poor and can only be entirely corrected at great expense, this jury finds that the present facilities are, in fact, not used as much as the same easily can be without further expense. The cellar of the jail is likewise in bad condition, the floor being faced with brick, is uneven and rough, and the same cannot be properly scrubbed or cleansed. The jury recommends that in the cellar there be a concrete floor in order that the same may be kept in proper sanitary condition. Further the jury recommends the wiring for electric light of such cellar." Praises Home. At the Home for Friendless Women the jury found everything kept In the best possible order and in a thoroughly clean condition. The jury insists that the radiators in the jail portion instead of being along or near the ceiling, be lowered to the floor in order to properly heat those rooms. This matter has been taken up by the board of county commissioners. No complaint was made by any of the inmates at the Wayne County Infirmary as to any mistreatment or lack of proper attention being accorded them. The buildings found occupied by inmates are in a sanitary condition. Condemns System. A recommendation that the board of county commissioners purchase a dynamo and order the installation of an electric light plant at the Infirmary was made. At present the only electric light provided there is such as is taken from the current of the traction company. This practice is severely condemned by the jury. The wiring, the jury states, is crude and deficient, utisafe and unfit to be longer used, and as a precaution against fire this service should be immediately dispensed with and such wiring not again used. Coal oil lights, as used, are dangerous and inefficient the jury reports. The system of accounts recently drawn up by County Auditor Bowman and approved by the board of county commissioners is warmly commended by the jury. The jury was in session eighteen days.

How the Great Penguin Hatches. The great penguin of the southern circle, standing with its head ns high as a man's waist, hatches its eggs in a peculiar manner. These are not laid upon the ground and brooded on after the manner of most birds' eggs. The female lays two large eggs. The first she hands over to the male bird, the other she keeps. The egg is held on the upper surface of the large flat feet, and is pushed up under the waistcoat of thick feathers. It is there held close to the body, whose warmth gradually vitalizes the young bird. So tenacious are the parent birds of this grip that if you knock one of then: over it will fall on Its back with its feet stuck stiffly out, still clutching the egg to Its body. Literally True.

Arbitration In the Nursery. Arbitration has come to be regarded by all thinking miuds as the only civ ilized way in which to settle all international disputes. That it is not universally adopted in actuality is clear evidence of the fact that civilization exists in degrees throughout the world only not by any means as an entirety, says Louise D. Mitchel. And this large thought we can condense into the smaller space of the punishments of children. What is the reason that corporal punishment comes ds a first thought for correcting a misdemeanor of the child? Why do you resort to whippings, to the undignified "slap," the ear boxing, the shaking, etc.? That is symbolic of the warfare that exists at all times in some parts of the world. War is the nation's way of boxing the ears of its foe. If you are angry, do not dare to punish your child. You will be merely taking advantage of your superior strength over his lesser prowess. Remind yourself of that when your hand is raised to promote "warfare" between your little child and your own uncontrolled temper. Children particularly little children are subjected to many unsuspected cruelties. The "boxing" of ears is one of the most cruel. Many a child has had its hearing Impaired for all time by Just such a bit of "uncivilized" treatment on the part of its parent. Americana are peculiarly subject to deafness, and this is a fact that you should bear in mind when the temptation assails you to administer this impulsive blow to your helpless little child. It may not make him deaf, but you take a chance in doing it, and you cannot afford to do so. One of the most noted men of the day -was made permanently deaf in early childhood by some one who lifted him by his ears in a spirit of fun. The ears and the eyes are probably the most delicate organs that we have. We cannot, therefore, treat them too delicately. A sudden blow will split the eardrum and cause permanent deafness. The mark of our hand left upon any part of our little child's body cannot but be a reproach to us to the last day of our lives. Jerking a child is another bad habit This has a bad effect upon the spine and has been known to effect the brain of a child disastrously. Striking him on the head is a brutal cruelty, yet 1 have seen it done repeatedly. Much of the imbecile expression noticeable in the eyes of some children is due to this very habit of punishment. Another thing to which I want to draw your attention is oue that is of common occurrence that of lifting a child up over a curbstone by one arm. The bones of a young child are what is known technically as "green" that is, they will not break as easily as those of an adult But they are very tender, and they will not staud a very great strain of any kind. In lifting a child by one arm he is bound to swing around a bit. and this will cause dislocations, either of the arm or tho 6houlder. Children's Coats. The mother who wauts to make a stylish and very up to date coat for her little daughter this fall should se lect either corduroy or velveteen, both of which fabrics will be worn mora than ever this winter. Corduroy was used quite a little last year, but few children's things were developed from it Now. however, the Paris authorities say that it will be extensively used for both grown people and children's coats' and dresses. One may possibly expect to see corduroy suits for the small boy replace the now favorite middy suits. Many new kinds of corduroys are seen in the various exclusive shops these days, prominent among them being the novelty cords in partridge effects in both narrow and wide wales. The latest colors, too, are shown in these stylish fabrics, red. blue, brown, gray and black being the colors which will be most used for the coats of the little ones. The simple Russian dresses look very well when developed from this stylish material and are nice for school when It is not cold enough to wear a heavy coat. Velveteen, too. is lovely for children's coats and looks very well when trimmed with black fox. Especially is this so with blue, black and gray velveteen, while a deep shade of red also looks stylish when trimmed with black fur. A neat pin striped velveteen is very new and would make up into smart costumes for the girl in her teens. Touches of velvet promise to be very fashionable this winter on children's clothes. Many of the newest frocks show trimmings of velvet or velveteen, which are very attractive and a relief from the two contrasting colors of materials from which little ones' dresses have been fashioned for so iong. These clotb combinations will, of course, be seen, but velvet will trim many of the frocks intended for the girl in her teens. Making It Plain. Sapleich Oh. 1 say.

FACTIONS TO

OPPOSE THE HP T Study Wing of Democrats Are Fighting the Selection of Charles B. Beck as Postmaster. (Continued from Page One) of Thomas Study. The Beck forces claim that an eleventh hour effort to defeat Beck was made in this conference, that Congressman Gray was called on to defer his appointment. Mr. Beck was noncommittal on the fight today. He refused to be quoted on any angle of the contest, and told a Palladium reporter he had nothing to say. Previous Attempts. It is said that the Study faction enveigled Congressman Gray in to attending a conference last week in which tbey wanted to press the claim of Richard Allen. When the congressman was in this city last week to secure data from business men regarding the eight candidates for the postmastership, he was invited to a meeting by the Study crowd. Gray was not appraised of the true purpose of the gathering, and it is said he wasted no words in disapproving the action of the Study wing. Word had been passed down the line before the meeting that only Allen men need attend the conference.. Supporters of Beck claim this meeting was in direct violation of the agreement which all candidates entered into when they submitted their names as candidates for the postmastership. Not only Beck's friends, but also the friends of other candidates were peeved at the attempt of the Study faction to steal a march on them. It is pretty generally understood that the efforts of the Study wing to gain strength for Allen in this meeting were futile, and that Congressman Gray expressed himself forcibly against the scheme. Johnson's Views. Henry U. Johnson in discussing the recommendation today said: "We have a chance now to put a man in the office who knows how to run it, and that is Frank Wilson. The trouble has been that the postmaster hitherto has always been a man who knew nothing of the office when he assumed his duties. The Democracy of Richmond ought to show the people that they can put a man in the office that will run it as it should be run, and that he will be the real postmaster, instead of his subordinates." The following colloquy took place in the court room this morning when Attorneys Johnson and Study met: "I see you got your postmaster," parried Johnson. "He's not my postmaster, he's yours," came back Mr. Study in a flash. "He's not mine either," rejoined Mr. Johnson, who then gave utterance to the preceding statement. Little groups of Democrats were seen on the streets today discussing the appointment and voicing their approval or disapproval. Has Another Letter. Charles Doney, Democratic county chairman, said today that he had received another letter from Congressman Gray this morning, but that it did not differ in tenor from the one quoted today in the Palladium. He said he believed some one had registered a serious objection of some kind with Congressman Gray.

yTA!E OF A HOYAL RELIC. Window Panj Upon Which Henry of Navarre Had Not Written. Mrs. Andrew Lang, writing in Blackwood's, tells of a Frenchman in whose chateau was a wlndoTon which Henry IV. had once scratched the inscription: "Dieu garde de ma I ma rule; Ce 22 de Septembre, 1589. Henry." The inscription when M. Eudel first saw it was In two line of big. clumsy letters. Two years later, being again in the neighborhood, he revisited the chateau, when he was astonished to find that the inscription was now in three lines, with the letters much more nearly uniform. After some effort he got hold of the secret For forty years the inscription on the window had been the guide's pride and plensure till, in one fatal moment of Inattention on bis part an Englishman bad cut the pane of glass out of its setting and walked away with it in his pocket The poor guide hurried to tell his master what had befallen him. The owner of the chateau assured him that the accident was of no consequence and could soon be put right And so it was! A piece of glass of the same tone as the other panes was procured and fastened lightly in its place. The guide received orders to turn his back so as to allow visitors to read the inscriptionor, if they wished, to steal it But it was necessary for the man to perceive in the nick of time what was going on and only consent to shnt his eyes on the receipt of a handsome tip (the amount fixed beforehand), twothirds ot which was to go to his master. A SOLDIER OF FORTUNE.

Strenuous Career of William Walker, the Noted Filibuster. William Walker, the noted filibuster and soldier of fortune, was born In Nashville, Tenn.. on May 8, 1S24.

First Recorded Yacht Raca, A race aross the Atlantic ocean would have seemed a wild romance to King Charles IL when be took a leading part in the first recorded yacht race. "I sailed this morning." aya Evelyn on Oct 1, 1GG1, "with his majesty in one of his yachts, or pleasure boats, vessels not known among us till the Dutch East India company presented that curious piece to the king, being very excellent sailing vessels. It was on a wager between his other new pleasure boat built frigate-like, and one of the Duke of York's; the wager, 100; the race from Greenwich to Gravesend and back. The king lost it going, the wind being contrary, but saved stakes in returning. There were divers noble persons and lords on board, his majesty sometimes steering himself." Old Parr's Possible Ago. One of the last services Dean Stanley did for Westminster abbey was to cause the almost effaced inscription over the celebrated old Parr's grave to be recti L It id as follows: "Tho: Parr of ye County of Salop. Borne in AD 14S3. He lived in ye reigns of Ten Princes viz., K. Edw. 4. K Edw. 5. K. Rich. 3, 1 Hen. 7, K. Hen. 8, K, Edw. 6. Q. Ma.. Q. EHz., Ka. Ja. & K. Charles. Aged 152 yeares, and was Buried Here Novemb. 15, 1635." The "old Countess of Desmond." who is said to have died at the age of 140, is mentioned by Lord Bacon. Archbishop Usher and Sir William Temple.
