with Free Labor Among the latest plans suggested lor the employment of convicts is that the prisoners in the State prisons should be allowed to make Turkish rugs This industry requires an im mense amount of time which is one thing that the prisoners certainly have to give that is if they have long sentences and it would not conflict with any outside labor Instructors could be found among the Armenians who have sough refuge here and who are masters of the rugweaving industry The pcoplk who favor the jnovcmenl believe that a sufficient number of expert teachers could be found and that the work would bo rem uncra ative after a short time The plan was tried in India but was aban doned there because it conflicted with one of the great industries ol that country Our methods are so much ahead of those of India that we have no nanufacturers of rugs of the char acter that would be produced in the prison and tho industry would therefore not bo a competitor in any way with outside and honest laborWe have more talent in the pris on than people give us credit for The men would learn rapidly es pecially if they knew that future employment and release from depressing idleness depended upon their yoking progress in the work We should never be at a loss for beautiful patterns if we made rugs at the prison because we have men who are expert in decorative art who would find a new field for their talent in that direction Large shops would not be necessary for the rugmaking industry and while the larger spaces which were formerly used as work rooms by the men might be utilized lor the new industry they would not be essential because smaller rooms would answer the same purpose and the cost of running machinery would be dispensed with Prompt Relief Saves Chicago from Bread Riots Chicago Jan 2BThe temper aturc still hangs close to the zero mark One result of the relief work accomplished by the police has been a great decrease in crime some of the police stations report ing decreases of from 15 to 20 per cent in the number of arrests since the relief vork began Doth the police and Mayor Swift believe that by the prompt relief afforded to the thousands of desti tute families lle city has been saved from bread riots Among the large subscriptions to the relief fund is one of 2000 by the Western Union Telegraph Company The contributions up to date anlount to over 50000 in cash and hundreds of tons of coal and provisions Georgias Lost Acres Eightythree counties in Georgia returned 723305 fewer acres of land for taxation in 1896 than they did in 1895 fiftyfour returned 430 164 more Not one returned the same number for two years This is the startling result of an exhaustive analysis of figures given in the last report of Controller General Wright and may be ac cepted as official The value of the land which for some reason demanding explanation was returned in 1895 and not in 1896 was in round numbers 2400000 and would have been subject to tax for State and County purposes at bqtween 25000 and 30000 Baltimore Sun Twenty School Days Constitute a School Month Frankfort Ky Jl1n281IrD- avidson the State Superintend ent of Public Instruction decided a

knew up to the period of the establishment of the United States Rome fell tbraugh the influences of Free Trade and the craze for providing the masses with cheap thingsThe conquest of Sicily and later of Egypt enabled her to import her cereals produced by thcslave labor of those countries at a far lower figure than site could raise thcmon her own fertile plains What was the result The Roman small

was so much easier and cheaper to import the products ol the East What was the result In spite of the vast treasures acquired by conquest and robbery this treasure was being continually exported to pay for imports The balance of trade was continually against Rome This in turn produced a contrac tion which in turn produced a terrible debasement of time curt ncy Had Rome protected the o

From thoBaliiraore Sun Tim plague which has been rag ing for six months past at Bombay and to some extent at other places- in India is conceded to be the true plague In its general char acter Ws identical with the Black Death which in the fourteenth century destroyed it is said 100 000 lives in tfco city of London the lives of seveneights of the population of England and some 25000000 persons or one fourth of the population of Europe But sanitary science is supposed to have mitigated its virulence or lessened its opportunities In Bombay with 750000 inhabitants the mortality is kept down to about 1000 per week Calcutta with 1000000 inhabitants owing to ef ficient sanitation is substantially free from the plague At the first outbreak in the past year nearly every case was fatal Up to the third week of November 730 persons had been attacked and of these 517 died Its victims are almost uniform ally very poor and illfed natives The English seldom or never take the disease The steps taken to purify the cities of India in order to protect them consist chiefly in cleansing them by a liberal use of water As in fighting the famine so in fighting the plague the Hindoos are in debted to the arts and sciences of Europe But for the foreign government with its railroads and ad vanced ideas the mortality of In dia would during the present af fliction of famine and plague be increased doubtless by many mil lionsThe plague is a glandular fever attended with a swelling of the groin It seems to be unknown whether it is due to a microbe or to unsanitary conditions It ravaged Hong Kong a few years ago destroying many thousands there It is endemic in China and thcEti phrates Valley just as cholera has its home in the delta of the Ganges London suffered from it in 1665 and again in 1720 During the present century Asia has been the chief scene of its activity In 1830 at Bagdad the death rate from it was 2000 a day and on April 21 of that year as many as 30000 dead bodies were counted there It appeared again on the Eu phrates in 1867 1873 and 1877 Its ravages in China have been enormous but little was known in Europe of the extent of the losses it causedSurgeon General Walter Wy man of the Marine Hospital Ser vice thinks the bubonic plague is mentioned in the fourteenth chap ter and eighteenth verse cf Zacha riah The heathen who did keep the feast of the tabernacle were threatened with it There is a record of a plague said Gen Wyman supposed to be of the same character as the resent one before the time of Christ The first known of the disease in Europe was in the four teenth and seventeenth century It was particularly virulent ia the fourteenth century and in the seventeenth century in 1664 and 1665 it was prevalent in London and various parts of England The last visitation to England was in 1665 when the mortality was very great The celebrated plague of London commenced in 1665 but there has been no appearance of it there since that time It has been con fined to the East during the last century chiefly in India and China It is a germ disease Its true nature was never known until 1894 when the bacillis was discovered by a Japanese scientist Dr Kita sato In 1894 it was imported into Canton from Northern India and from Canton was conveyed to HongKong A steamer voyage to HongKong is but eight hours but during the height of the epidemic it was the daily occurrence for people to die en route between the two cities No absolutely reliable estimate can be made of the mor tality ij China at that tune as it was very great but the United States Consul at Canton reported under date of July IoJ894 that between that time and March i of the same year the total number of deaths was estimated at between 50000 and 100000 and that not over 5 per cent of those attacked recovered It should be remem bored Ii6wever that the sanitary conditions in Canton were extreme ly bad a 0 Speaking of the manner in which the disease is brought about Dr Wyman said = It is a filth disease and while it is extremely virulent the germ is readily killed by disinfection The same methods adopted for preventing the spread of cholera are applicable to the plague al though the diseases arc quite dif ferent in their nature Chplera is adiseasc which must get into the alimentary track in other words must be swallowed while the plague may infect the body through abrasions or contact with any mu cua membrane It begins with a high fever anti with the early ap pqiUance of the enlargement of the glands ot the groin the axilar and appearpis essentially u disease of blood poisoning While the sanitary coidition of some places in this d uitryare not all that they should bej it should be said that the in telligence and natural cleanliness the American people

Milwaukee Wisconsin Genuine new potatoes fresh from the soil as in July or August will doubtless be considered a remarkable delicacy in midwinter Yet just such potatoes are now on the market in Milwaukee and are meeting with a ready salealthough the novelty of new winter potatoes is onc of the very latest things known among produce commission men here IIIf you want to inspect really new potatoes dr pin and see us was the request which floated into the office yesterday over the telephone wire from a wellknown commission house on lower Broad way Taking the sender of this message at his word the potato editor of this journal was sent to investigate and found several bar rels of new potatoes of the early rose variety with every appear ance of being fresh from their native soil That they were as youth ful as they looked was soon demon strated and the assurance of the commission man that the visiter could have all the new Murphies he might want at the rate of 3 per bushel rather staggered the po tato editor Those who had partaken of the novelty potatoes pronounce them just as delicious as any July productInquiry brought out the tact these new potatoes arc now being produced by means it is said of some secret process by Frank Dalzellan extensive potato grower at Genesee Wis where he has a farm of 150 acres On this farm is a large building which no one but Dalzell himself enters and here it is said he is now produc ing the early summer potato in all its glory He has made a Milwaukee commission firm his agents for Wisconsin and they positively state that they are daily in receipt ra sufficient quantity of thes n4wpotatoes toyiuppLy an average market for such a vegetable in midwinter They are also as sured by the grower that by an other winter he expects to beljnble to supply the entire Milwaukee arti11cleume new on t 1e mar here months before the Southern growers can have any of their Very earliest potatoes ready forthie North which is during the letter part of February or in First he guarantees to funishI fresh new potatoes and every winter month and to have them in sufficient quantities for all by another season It has been suggested that this new potato wonder u the result of the discovery of some process for preserving new potatoes from early summer until midwinter in such a manner as to keep them ab solutely fresh plump and new in every sense But this is declared to be an erroneous idea and on the contrary Mr Dalzells most intimate friends insist that he produces the potatoes In the natural way without hothouse aid or other artificial means except that the se cret process discovered by himself is used in their growth and protection from frost It is claimedalso that he can grow new potatoes in large quanties with the ground covered with snow and things frozen up generally just as easily as at the present time when the weather has been much milder than the season calls for What ever is the secret of this new move it is quite certain that new or early potatoes arc now on the market in Milwaukee and that they are delicious and m every way as edible as those taken from the garden when the robins and early summer zephyrs are singing

ansasI Any honest man whether he be a silverite a populist or a gold bug must admit one thing and that is that the man who has money to invest has a perfect right to make his own selection of the place in which to invest and of the character of investment This is a right that no man can deprive him of Now the average moneyed man says that he prefers to invest in a State that votes according to his own views Whether his views be right or wrong is not the question Granted that he has this right then no one can criticise the individual moneyed man or the capitalists of the country in gen eral for not putting money where they believe that good business faith will not be strictly observed Some capitalists will take more risks than others but the great conservative wealthy element of the country is still afraid to invest freely in sonic Southern and West er i States That country or that section of county which maintains inviolate the highest financial credit the strictest regard for

the principal items charged is that the County Judge of Muhlenberg was an active partisan of Hunter and conspiredwith Hunters friends and corruptly fraudently and illegally aided in Hunters election by giving him unfair advantage in the election officers It is charged that in eight precincts the majority of the officers of election were Re publicans How would this rule work if applied to Hopkins

Purifier All druggets 1 Prepared rnly by Co I Hood Co Lowell Mass easyHood CHRONICLESIfly 1 Now it camo to pass in those days when Grover the Cleveland ruled over the land that there lived withiu the city of Earlington one Wilbur who was also called the Burr 2 And the same Burr h a man of au thority being the mayor of the city aid be ruleth over the same as one rulelh over his household 3 Moreover the Uuir is exceedingly short of stature and his height barely exceedeth that of a cider tartcl but he is fatted oven as a tub which containclh much butter and it takcth a lino of eight and forty inches to encompass him round about 4 Furthermore the lure greatly feareth fire not only that which tormenteth sinners in the future but also that which is kin diedof man he regards with great fear and trembling 5 And he daily admonishes those of his own household to be extremely careful about this matter lest at such a time as they think not of they be consumed of fire 6 Now it came to pass upon the first day of the month which is called February while it was yet early that the Burr lay slumbering upon a bed which was made of leaves gleaned from geese 7 And as be thus slept his wife rushed In wringing her bands and cryiug aloud at the top notch of her voice saying Arise and come quickly Behold our own bouse Is on fire and we shall be burned even unto ashes 8 For even now the whole place is en compassed with much smokelnomnch that one can scarcely breathe and ye will be consumed if ye longer tarryl 9 Now when the Burr beard those things he arose as a jacksnapper and putting on a portion of bis raiment he scooted for the front yard 10 And he cast his eyes neither to the right nor left neither did oe beseech the neighbors to come unto his assistance nor warn them to flee from the wrath that was already cbtnebut be executed a blue streak toward the city IT And in his exceeding haste he reo gardad not tba sidewalks nor pavements but splitted the mud that was in the midst of the road even between the carttracks and spattered the same upon those who journeyed upon either side 12 And because of the uproar many people came forth to learn concerning the cause and they beheld the Burr fleeing as an elephant affrighted and his eyes protruded until one could hang bis hat thereon 13 Then did they greatly marvel saying Why doth the Burr flee when no man pur iueth and they cried unto him with a loud voice yet bo heeded them not 14 Now when he was come unto his own office he sent unto Barnett the Liveryman tiyingScnd thou me a chariot and a dou ble team which is swifter than lightning having been greased and the Barnett did his bidding 15 Thou spake tbo Burr unto him who Irivetn the chariot Create tbou a blue streak unto the carpenters shop and be seSch Toombs the Carpenter to fly quickly with his crew and save my house which is consuming of a hidden fire 16 Then all the carpenters as one man gat them quickly unto the Burrs domicile and when they bad cut a hole within the garret they went up therein each man with a lighted candle seeking fire 17 Anti finding none they came back and said There is not so much as a smell of fire within the garret nor can the trace ofsmoke be found therein 18 And the Burrs handmaiden laughed aloud and saith unto them Be ye not af frighted there is no fire about the house hnld When I kindled the fire within the stove this morning I wist not that the damper was thrown the way which is wron and the bouse was filled with smoke because of no draft 19 Hearing these things the hewers of wood picked up their tools and quickly fled laughing within their sleeves that the Burr should be so sorely affrighted when no danger was nigh 26 And the friends of tbo Burr yet con gratulate him upon his presence of mind and narrow escape and speak flattering words concerning his fleetness as an im promptu sprinter Selab In an interview with the New York Com mercial Advertiscrlast Saturday President Ashley of the Wabash thus expressed him self It is rather difficult to make a trust worthy forecast of the future with the present meager returns at hand All I can say therefore is that we are encouraged by the traffic in December and believe that there is a gradual revival of business Our freight earnings show an increase of 18000 during the past week while our passenger business has fallen offso that the returns are about 10000 less than tbey were in the corresponding week of last year Railway traffic follows the re viva of other business inasmuch as it is made up of transportation The railroads do not originate business but depead upan the prosperity of other branches of trade are agents of transportation and communication between different parts of the country We expect before to see a movement in the West looking to the replenishing of stocks as many mer chants have now a very low I doubt if there will be very much im provement before spring The Indications are very meager just now and there will be little change before the now admlnis ration comes in All prolonged tariff tinkering tends to produce hesitation and uncertainty but I do not apprehend a see rious interference with business as I think that the legislation will incline to conser vative methods At least I hope that this1 will be the case vEBsTERLYDiccoLOksA ings of the County Conven tlon at Vhlcha Fullt P REPUDUCAX TlCIflTV5

January 16 and elected delegates who as sembled in the court house in the Dixon Ky on Saturday January 23 1897 The convention was or ganized by electing W E Bour land Chairman and Ross Givens SecretaryThe then appointed the following Committee viz D Browning C H Edwards and Forest Langley Committee on Resolutions and J W Givens Grant Turpin and W F Trusty Committee on Credentials During the absence of the Com nittces the Convention was enter tained by several ringing speeches chief among them being the one made by our able and efficient Re publican Representative the Hon I G Nance The Committee on Resolutions then announced that they were ready to report The Committee by its Chair man D Browning reported the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted We the Republicans of Webster county in Convention assembled reaffirm and en dorse the doctrines of the party as enun ciated in the platform adopted by the Na tional Republican Conventien held in St Louis in June 1896 We congratulate the party and the whole people upon the victory won on the 3rd day of last November for the principles of soundmoney and protection and es pecially on the splendid triumph in Ken tucky over the combined forces of the Sil ver Democrats and Populists As Ken tuckians we congratulate ourselves and are justly proud that the people of this Com monwealth are ho longer influenced by prejudices engendered by the war which closed more than thirty years ago that they no longer follow after the heresies nfI freo trade and free silver fiatism but have returned to tho orthodox principles of sound money and a protective tariff as taught by the great Commoner and matchless Statesman Henry Clay That we remember with gratitude the valuable assistance rendered by those loyal patriotic sound money Democrats who prized their countrys welfare above party and so nobly fought for good government and a sound currency during the late campaign and we realize and acknowledge that without their aid the victory for our prin ciples would not have been so pronounced- We believe that the Inauguration of President William McKinley on the 4th of March when the Republican party whose whale history is a synonim for soundstable currency and good government will again assume control of the government In all its branches will mark the beginning of an era of great prosperity We denounce the revolutionary methods of the majority in our State Senate and condemn in unmeasured terms their refusal to allow the passage of the revenue bill passed by the Republican house by which

IN THE MINES We are pleased to be able to report that all the mines were rushed with orders and work the past week and the miners went at their work with a vim as tbey always do when their services are in demand Only the scarcity of cars prevented the St Bernard mines from making n big record in coal production last week Reinecke Coal Company ran their mines at full capactyast week when they could get cars sufficient Over r ooo cars of coal were forwarded from Earlington in January which Is good work when the warm weather of the first of the month is considered Mr John Oustow a miner working in the Union mines at Evansville was killed last Friday by a blast Since the extrema cold weather set in the coal thieves along the L N bave become quite numerous at Trenton and we are told if a train of coal stops there it is at once bounced upon by these coal con sumers and hundreds of bushels taken from the cars in spite of the efforts of trainmen to prevent them from so doing According to the Louisville papers there is no danger of a coal famine there as they have loaded on barges near the city about 2000000 bushels So great was the demand for coal by the home consumers here the past week that many extra teams were put to work haul ing coal The severe cold weather of the past few days was quite trying on the miners as they went to and from work but they never flinch from duty We can truly think ourselves fortunate when we can be supplied with coal at the low price paid here when at many places in the United States thirty cents per bushel is considered icazonable In an article appearing in tbo Atlanta Constitution the past week an interview with President J B Atkinson ot the St Bernard Coal Company was given ip brief shOwIng the high opinion he held of the Georgia

sacrifices for the good of their fellowmen Des Moioes Iowa Jan 2About 300 miners representing all the mines In this district met today and resolved that the contract price of Soc for mining is as low as they can work for and that the operators of the mines that have been paying this rate ought to employ as far as possl ble those thrown out by the mines that have locked out their men conference was held with the operators who agreed with the expression of the resolution They alto agreed that the miners who were locked out at Ojk Park shall be pat back at work at 700 and Soc but the Oak Park management refused to grant this The men would be given work so far as possible in other mines the other miners agreeing to divide work with them so that all will have a chance On this agreement it is believed the lock out will be averted The operators how ever have not adjusted their disagreement as to prices of coal which caused the trouble The large companies that cut prices have refused again to restore them and so long as this is the case a renewal of the troubles It expected at any time The present situation fo all the mines that in sisted on the reduced price are closed and can not get miners If lha ethers restore schedules these will reopen and the price war will be resumed About 2300 miners in the district were on the verge of going out and would have dne so closing every mine in

coal fields are sufficiently satisfactory that there will be no strike in the event of a joining at interests by Ohio West Virginia and Pennsylvania miners Past experinces in sympathetic striking have been such as to emphatically discourage any fur ther experiment in this line VOwing to the industrial depression the produc tion of coal exceeds the demand Reductions in miners wages are being resorted to and many strikes are resulting It looks as though mine owners are still holding the idea that low prices will sell coal regardless of the requirements of consumers but some day they will find a better wato manage and reduce the production rather than the wages of their men It has often been demonstrated that when a demand for coal exists no one objects to paying a fair price for it and before mine operators conclude that their oppo nents are getting their trade and blindly reduce their own selling price they should weigh the conditions and apply a little judgment It this should happen the result would be that when a better market is possible they would not have so bard a task to restore prices to a paying basis Of Interest to Women Every whore The first assemblage of tIme kind in the history of the world will beheld in Washington on February 17 18 and 19 when the National Mothers Congress meets in the City of Magnificent Distances In 1895 the idea of such a congress occurred to Mrs Theodore Birney who has always been interested in the mothers clubs and since that time she has been untiring in her efforts to organize the Mothers Congress She has received the cooperation of President and Mrs Cleveland VicePresident and Mrs Stevenson all the ladies of the Cabinet and Mrs Phoebe A Hearst besides other representa tive women all over the country Mrs Hearst who by the way is First President of the congress has done more than anyone else to make it a success Her ample means have enabled her to do so although she has given as much has given as much tIme as money toward the success of the under taking She has furnished all the funds for organizing and advertising the congress she maintains the headquarters of the organiza tion in Washington and she paid the expenses of its officers includ ing Mrs Stevenson Miss Wilson and Miss Morton on their trip to New York in September whither they went to interest prominent Gothamitcs in the scheme Mrs Birney the President of the congress is the young and beautiful wife of the wellknown Washington lawyer She first presented her idea in regard to the congress to the mothers meeting at Chautauqua two summers ago Her enthusiasm was contagious and since that time she has been assisted in the work of organiza tion by the most prominent women in the United States The general object of the con gress is the education of mothers Mrs Birneys own words will explain it better than anothers She says The movement is not a reformative one it is a formative one Our aim is to lead the mothers not to reforming their children but to forming them morally men tally and physically Neither is it a charitable organization Its prov ice is obviously in the interest of the puny neglected overfed underexerciscdchildren of the rich as of the poor Through years ST BERNARD COAL COMPANYINCORPORATED Famous No9 Coal for all uses from Ear ington Diamond and St Charles Mines Only Vibrating Screens and

beginning to see the importance of the education of mothers and to realize that all the work of reform of whatever nature will never purify civilization unless it begins at the fountain head We cannot make over the ancestry of the world but we can endeavor to make over ourselves we can awaken to the responsibilities of paronthood and with but little study it will be apparent that in the acknowledgement of the sa credness of such obligations and a desire to discharge them the race will gradually develop from its present condition of discord into one of harmonious develop ment The Congress will be held in the banquet hall of the Arlington Hotel and will have two meetings a day during the three days it is in session On the morning of February 17 at ii oclock Mrs Cleveland will

Post- Murderer i Duestrow refused t allow his brain to be examined unj der the Xrays How the Prince of Coals was Maintained in the Olden Times The following extract from a volume entitled Colliery Working and Management by Mr H F Bulman and Mr R A S Red mayne and published by Messrs Crosby Lockwood and Son will be read with interest Regulation of the vend or management of the vent as it is called in an old document was practised as long ago as 1605 under the control of the Hoastmen men of Newcastle a very ancient fraternity and early in the present century the matter engaged the at tention of Parliament As the regulation of the vend is some times advocated at the present day the following explanation of how it was done sixty years ago as interesting It is given in the words of Mr Bradling a large col lieryowner of that day on his ex animation by a SelectCommittee- of the House of Commons as stated in their report 1 3 th July 1830 When presentedI derstood by the all parties interested in the coal trade on the Tyne and Wear are willing to enter into an arrangement of this nature a representa tive is named for each of the collieries These representatives meet together and from amongst them they choose a committee of nine for the Tyne and seven for the Wear which is I think the number of collieries on the Wear This being done the proprietors of the best coals arc called upon to name the price at which they in tend to sell their coals for the suc ceeding twelve months Accord ing to this price the remaining pro prietors fix their prices This being accomplished each colliery is re quested to send in a statement of the different sorts of coal they raise and the powers of the col lierythat is the quantity that each particular colliery could raise at full work and upon these state ments the committee assuming an imaginary basis fix the relative proportions as to quantity between all the collieries which propor tions are observed whatever quan tity the markets may demand The committees then meet once a month and according to the prob able demand for the ensuing month they issue so much per 1000 to the different collieries that is if they give me an imagi nary basis of 30000 and my neighbor 20000 according to the qual ity of our coal and our power of raising them in the monthly quan tity if they issue 100 to the iooo I raise and sell 3000 during the month and my neighbor 2000 but in fixing the relative quantities if we take 800000 chaldrons as the probable demand of the differ cat markets for the ear if the markets should requirelllore an in creased quantity would be given out monthly so as to raise tho an nual quantity to meet that demand were it double the original quantity assumed which by the report made to the House in 1800 appears to have been in operation as early as the year 1771 and which prob ably existed at an earlier period has continued in operation with occasional interruptions to the present time had a marked effect in keeping up the price of coals in those days when the northern coalfield almost mo nopolized the London market Thus in 1828 with the regulation described above in force the price for screened coals was 303 to 305 6d a Newcastle chaldron say las 6da tonon the Tyne In 1833 with open trade the price fell to 135 a chaldron 6s gd a toni but in the following year the regulation of the vend being re instated the price was soon raised- to 28s 6d and gradually to 305 Gd Mr Matthias Dunn writing in 1852 stated that the regulation of vends was maintained in various states of imperfection and with numerous discontinuances until the year 1845 Leeds Eng Mercury ur olofed iBens All couiwuniCMlioiM and matter of news per ulnlnc lo this column iboold be addretiod to Gao AtixAvoai Birlmcton KY Rev T
