An Heiress Sent to Prison is the
head line of a paragraph in an English
journal, which tells how, at Durham,
England, Alice Purvis Buddie, aged
nineteen years, pleaded guilty to obtain
ing three gold Albert chains by false
pretenses; how her counsel, in de-
fense, informed the court that the pris-
oner was well connected, and on com
ing. of age would be heiress to a consi1-
cradle amount of property; how he
urged in mitigation of sentence that she
had been seized with sudden fit of
kleptomania, and how the court could
not overlook the fact that the fraud had
been carried out, and notwithstanding
the prisoners position, ordered her i'm
prlsonment for three months with hard
labor.

A difference Of opinion exists among
European engineers in regard to the
practicability of establishing a sea, as
now proposed, in the great Sahara, the
chief problem being, it wou d seem. how
to keep it up. 1t is argued that, sup
posing. the sea to be created by means of
a canal, it will lose an enormous GUAM
titty OF water by evaporation every day.
without the introduction of an equal
volume of fresh water. The water
evaporated being replaced by a supply
coming through the canal, the whole
body will soon reach the maximum of
saturation; and thus, the evaporation
still continuing, deposit of salt will be
formed which. in time, must fill up the
whole space of the interior seattle
salinity of the water being such that no
animal life would be possible in it, and
the ultimate result being simply the ac-
emulation of an immense deposit of
salt. On the other hand, the projectors
OF the enterprise claim that the presence
OF this water, and its evaporation. must
produce copious rains, which will in
large measure return into the sea, and
thus not only accomplish the object re
ierred TO, but also convert sterile waste
into fertile country.

A fruit-picker is the --latest invention.
1t is simply ring or collar of sheet
metal four or five inches high and the
same in diameter, with the upper por-
ton formed into half dozen points
like crown, each point being covered
with an india rubber disk or shield to pre-.
vent the fruit from injury by contact.
A socket in the side receives a light
pole of any required length, and from
the bottom of the ring or crown extends
a light hose of cotton drilling, or other
light material, to convey the .uit down
to the hand of the operator, or into a
basket, wagon, or wherever desired
Standing on the ground the operator
reaches for the fruit, the points of the
crown passing on each side of the stem.
and a light upward shove easily de.
taches the fruit and it drops down
through the crown and hose. The
operator can hold the pole in one hand
and the hose in the other, or the hose
can be hooked to q small, movable
bracket placed on the pole for that pur-
pose, thus allowing of handling the polc
with both hands, or an assistant can
manage the hose.

William j. Carlin, an unassuminp
young man, OF Philadelphia, has fal len
heir to fortune of 81, GOO, 900 left by an
uncle in A australia. When he received
a letter from London solicitor setting
forth the demise Of his uncle, and re-
questlng him to prove his identity and
thus his claim to the inheritance, he
went home to his mother. At first She
was inclinod to treat the matter as a
hoax, but afterward recalling references

made during his lifetime, she advised
Ghe son to answer the letter. The result
mas been continued correspondence.

that the deceased left his home in Eng
land when he was twenty years of age,
and was supposed to have gone to China
on a merchantmen, shipping as a com
mon sailor Nothing was heard of him
afterward and he was given up as dead.
About fifteen years aeO letter was re-

boy who now comes into possession of

Again it's an Ohio man. Three
fourths of the prominent public men
who have shaped the destiny of the
country during tho past twenty years
were either native Ohioans. or received
their training for public life in Ohio
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Stanton,
were born in Ohio. Chief Justices
Chase and Waite settled in Ohio in ear
ly life and ''grew up with the country. ="
Hayes and Garfield are ''native and to
the manor born" In the lesser public
positions, Ohio counts her men by the
score.
A book has recently been issued CIV
ing sketches of some 500 prominent O.
hio men. The reason given for this
prominence of SO many Buckeyes is the
mixture of Virginia, Kentucky and
New England brains to produce the
Ohio character. But there is doubtless
a better reason for SO many Ohio men
finding their way into public positions.
There is 10 State in which political
campaigns are SO thoroughly conducted.
Every boy is trained to politics by rous-

NOT POSTED.

Elsewhere we publish a letter from
"a Minister" who claims this time to be
posted as to the Comstock Bennett mat
ter.. We see plainly, however. that our
brother is not posted. He has not read
the Truth Seeker, he has not read Gu
pid's Yokes, he has not read the history
of the imprisonment OF Haywood, Liant
and Bennett.
But he falls naturally into the mis-
take which many good people make viz:
that because Anthony Comstock has in
one or two instances suppressed books,
etc.. which were really obscene, that
therefore all good people must stand by
him in his malignantand medieval per-
secution of the advocates Of free thought
and free speech.
Anthony Comstock is not merely an
officer of the law Furnishing infringe
ments of the law. He is known east as
the ''blood hound Of the church." They,
that is the society headed by DR.. Crosby,
set him on Bennett and Liant because
they were publishers of inidel newspa-
pers. Liant served two years in the pen
itentiary and Bennett thirteen months.
Comstock boosted that lie would sup
press the Truth Seeker, the Banner OF
Light and other liberal papers. Ills
persecution has strengthened them.
a few days ago this bloodhound Or
dcred the news boys on the cars to stop
selling Mama" Il novel, and they stop
ped. He ordered the news stands to de"
sist from selling the book and they de-
sisted. Tie story is published 10y L. Is.
Peterson & Co.. of Philadelphia, one OF
the leading publishing houses of the
country. SO this blood hound is run
ming his nose into books, snutfing about
here and there, and when lie discovers
a passage which he thinks is ''obscene. :"
he orders dealers to cease selling and
they cease. And this in America, and
not in Russia.
We know nothing of "Nana." 1t
may be obscene and it may not. The
question is, will the American people
submit to have this censorship estab-
lisheu over the American press? Snail

COUNTY ON HIS DIGNITY.

EDITOR ADVANCE-SIR It seems
that people and circumstances combine
to provoke me into expressions deroga-
tory to my position. but they only sue
coed in eliciting expressions Of my eoa-
tempt for them.
OF the people, as aforesaid, I have a
good feeling for them when they do as
people should do; but when they run
counter to the current, my ideas,
they, the said people, suffer for
their temerity. Furthermore, I say
to. them, look up your little wits
and don't take my expressions for
those OF one who stands diametri-
cally opposed to the sphere of my logic.
Must 1, with all my legal training, be
taken for one who probably never saw
the inside of legal documents, only as
myself have hauled him over the Goals?
The fates forbid! 1 suppose 1 had
written my individuality sufficiently
perspicuous that my full signature was
unnecessary. Yet it seems there are
some whose keen ~ wits have applied
my communication to a certain unotfi-
cial person Of this village. If the per-
son who made the application public
will think back awhile he may remem-
Der when told him III a covert way
who this was. If he cannot, then, Lord
deliver us from fool friends"
The circumstances l make my own,
aud l shall win every case in the future
rs in the past, by putting in the requis-
tie amount Of "push.'
For those Of my opponents who have
attempted to reply to me through the
ADVANCE, I feel 4 certain amount Of
pity; but there is one who answered
in your issue of (not having the paper
before me l cannot give the date nor
the signature of the wrlter) who speaks

content to abide therein. Surely, my
IDEAS are taking root and I hope to see

loved little commonwealth, Mobiles.

no FOR CDJ{S7OCh,

The ADVANCE has frequently asked
the question, why do publishers and
liberals Of the cast submit to the out
RACES Of Anthony Comstock? Why do
they not have him arrested every time
lie seizrs Il book, picture, or whatever 1t
may be, and every time he makes an az.
rest? lie ought to be arrested and tried
for malicious prosecution, for false ar
rest and imprisonment, Tor being acces-
sorry to crime, for procuring the com
mission Of crime, for exhibiting obscene
books and pictures to clergyman and
Young Mems Christian Associations.
lie should be kept continually Oh the
dcfe: siye, and never have any rest un-
til he is landed in prison, as he has sent
others there. lie boasts that he has
worried fifteen persons into commit
ting suicide. LIT him be worried from
this time on until the wretch either
follows his fifteen victims OF till he will
be ashamed to show his brutal face a.
gain. There are nearly 200 Liberal
Leagues in the United States. Why do
they not raise u fund to fight the devil
with fire ana ayenge the imprisonment
of Bennett, Liant and others. Let us
hgncefJrth show no quarter to this
bloodhound Of ~ infamous New York
Society.
On this subject we commend the fol-
lowing from the st. Louis Law Journal,
one Of the ablest OF it's kind in the coun-
try:
We recommend the publishers of the
American edition OF ''N;na,' and all
other publishers, not to De frightened,
and we herewith tender them a little IT,
cal advice for which we will charge
nothing. This is that if Mr.. Comstock
or any one else undertakes to seize amy
picture, or book, or other article which
they may manufacture or sell, upon his
own conclusion That it is obscene, indie
cent or immoral, let them commence
at once an action Of trespass against
him. lie will then find out what 40 one
so far, we Judge. has attempted to teach
him, that mans property can not be
taken from him without due process
of law" He will then probably realize
/ the fact that the Office Of Guardian Of
the Public Morals is one which is beset
with difficulties, and which is hardly
worti! holding. We commenced these
remarks with three out stions and we
Will conclude them with two more. Is
there in this Republic such an officer as
a Public Censor, clothed with dictato-
rial powers, and not responsible to the
people? Is this Mr.. ComstUck the same
person who has been more than once
charged by publishers with seeking to
obtain money from them by blackmail?
If any one can answer these queries we
shall be obliged to him.
