The colored Republicans turned out in
large numbers last night to attend the rally
at Mound City, where Gov Cullom spoke.
They gathered at their headquarters, lit
their torches, donned their uniforms and
marcned in body down to the Cairo &
Vincenpes train, standing at the foot of
Commercial avenue, which they boarded,
and with burning torches and music and
yels moved through the town.

gain and stayed with him in the hope that
the future would develop some means by
which the monies due them could be OBJ
tanned or until they were able to find other
employment. He had found employment
in this city, and had left the army immcoi
ately upon doing so.
R.-Haskell tells the public that he is a
man Of means, and has lett home of luxury
to serve Christ"
W.-So he does, but he is poor as a
church mouse. He expected to obtain
means by his present course but he is al
ready discovering that he can not do so.
Two of his girls, Miss Minnie Lashley and
Mrs. Sarah Brandenburg, lett him here.
They returned to st. Louis, and the iifer
and drummer intended to leave him to-day.
As said before, he has already discovered
that there is but little money in tramping
crowd of people over the country, even
though he cheat the men and women who
serve him, and this discovery seems to have
had the effect Of driving much of his re.
ligion out of him. Why, in st. Louis he
used to be present at every one of our
prayer meetings and role in the sawdust
while he cried "Amen" and "God grant
it," but Of late he hasn't attended one OF
our prayer meetings in a dozen. He would
as lief raise q boy in the air by the hair and
call HIM a - as say prayer any day,
ETC."
R-Does he pay the women of the army
anything
W-No, he does not.
R-They 60 with him solely tor the love
of the LordI
W-Apparently they do, and do not
leave the army because he does not give
them sufficient means to enable them to re-
turn home. They are more to be pitied
than blamed. So far as my observation
extends they are all above reproach and
deserving of better luck than to fall into
into the clutches of the old sinner.
He related the charges to us as detailed
in recent number of the Globe Democrat
against Haskell by Rev. J. s. Green, and
said that, having been a witness to the en-
tire transaction, he was prepared to say
that Rev. Green had spoken nothing but
the truth.
Admitting that the above statements are
true, Haskell's sincerity is not disproven
by them. We are inclined to regard him
as an enthusiast without any business dis
erection, who means we'll enough, but is,pos-
sibly, the victim of circumstances.

CARD FROM CITY ENGINEER
THRUPP.

To the Editor OF the BULLETIN;
In the matter of the opening Of the
"Railroad Strip" desire to call the atten-
ton Of the public generally, but more es-
peclally Of the taxpayers, whose interests
are involved to one fact And that is this :
AS city officer and one who desires to re-
spect the material interests of the people, |
publicly protest against the action Of the
City Council in revoking the ordinance pro-
viding for the opening Of twenty-five foot
street from the north side of Second street
to the south side of Fourteenth, and from
the south side of Second 10 st. Charles
street. BY this action and tile substitution
of a new ordinance providing for an in
creased width Of twenty-five feet, property
owners along the line Of that street are not
only directly affected by an additional bur
den, but tax payers generally, since fifty
per cent. Of the cash will ultimately have to
be paid out OF the general fund. And
what Is the cause Of this2 Simply because
Commercial avenue, public .horoughtare
of the city, from Sixth street to First is
monopolized by the business of the Cairo s.
Vincennes Railroad. It now becomes a
question with the people Of this city wheth-
er they will indorse course winch seeks
to convert public thoroughfare into pri-
vate way and throw public traffic into an
other street, the forced construction of which
must entail additional burdens upon the
people.
The operation Of the proposed ordinance
discriminates in this way: 1t calls for
twenty-five foot street south of Second and
a fifty foot street north of that. Is there
any fairness in the proposed changed The
interests OF the public demand fifty foot
street south Of Second just as much as
north of it, if that width shall maintain at
all.
This matter is submitted for the benefit
of the public. Their interests shall govern
me. Respectfully
CHAs. TuRupp.

OUR COUNTY JAIL.

A WALK THROUGH IT By THE COMMITTEE
APPOINTED BY THE woMAN's CHRISTIAN
TEMPERANCE USIoN-wHAT THE LADIES
HEARD AND SAW, RELATED BY ZONE OF
THEM"
The committee appointed by the Woman S
Christian Temperance Union to visit our
prisons is composed of the following ladies
Mrs. E. C, Ford, chairman; Mrs. G., NJ
Alden, Mrs. Wood Rittenhouse and Mrs.
B. Y. George. These ladies visited the
county jail on Friday afternoon MIS-. George
being absent from the city, Mrs. +. 5. Kent
acted in her place,
On arriving at the Jail and stating their
mission to Sheriff Hodges, who is the jailor,
they were cordially received, aud after
making the acquaintance of Mrs. Hodges
they were escorted through the different de-
partments BY that lady, who kindly gave
them all the information desired
To descrlb- the feelings of those, who,
for the first time, visit prison and see the
eyes of the prisoners glazing upon them
through the bars, would be impossible The
committee was much affected by the sur
roundings, and conversation held with the
prisoners.
Mrs. Alden is very forcibe talker on
matters pertaining to religion and temper
ance. She and Mrs. Rlttenhouse did the
talking, while Mrs. Kent wept and Mrs.
Ford wrote.
Mr.. Floyd was the first prisoner visited.
He vas sentenced for forgery. He is a
man of considerable intelligence and feels
his position keenly. His conversation, and
manner is very interesting He begged
the ladies to see that the people we're in
terested in his wife and two babies, and
obtained employment for her to earn an
honest living. She is, at present, occupy
ing rooms in the Turner hall and has a
few scholars.
The next cell was occupied by Young
Leech, 81 years old, of progressing APP
pearance, who Is incarcerated for intent
to kill by shooting man above Cairo. He
spoke of his lite, and his dear old mother
at home, waiting for her boy, not knowing
lis whereabouts. He was very grateful
for the papers given him.
Nextcame Mr.Breen who was treasurer of
benevolent society here, but who failed
to account for the funds in his possession 10
the amount of three hundred and fifty dol.
lars He will be released on bail in a few
days.
Mrs. Whitcamp occupies cell apart from
the others and is ore comfortable. The
cell being furnished with good bedstead
and one chair. She was perched up in the
high window, sewing. She is woman of
very pleasing address. She has just recov-
ed from severe illness and is therefore al
lowed the use of the hall. She said, "the
God of the innocent would protect her."
Mrs. Whitcamp is awaiting trial as an &C.

her husband.

that the best place to buy is at &. Kochs

and Mrs. ellison had murdered her hus-
band while, all were under the influence Of
liquor. Shall this woman be condemned
by the babbling of drunken wretchl
In the next cell were two
colored men and boy, twelve
years old, for larcency. The last one
was occupied by Maggie Williams, color
ed woman, for attempting to kill woman.
Interesting papers were given each of these
prisoners, and were gratefully received.
Dinner was served to the prisoners, which
looked good enough for any one and con-
sisted Of hight bread, boiled meat and pota-
toes and apple pie. Everything around the
prison was neat and clean, the halls and
cells nicely whitewashed, and as far as the
power of jailor went, all was in good order.
But such place for human beings to live
in amidst a Christian and enlightened com
munity is a crying shame to any city. The
cells are so dark; the faces of the prisoners
could scarcely be distinguished, and as for
furniture it could not be told what it con-
sisted OF. Two Sx10 inch windows, and they
heavily barred, is all the ventilation here
is. The prisoners spoke in high terms
of Mr.. Hodges and lady. The
visit of these ladies was very
interesting and profitable to themselves
and it is to be hoped the prisoners were
cheered and profted also.

rhe small BOY NOD "a slnmmIx..,

Detroit Free Press.
It Is often charged by writers that the
small boy is "a slummix. {" Thatis to say, he
goes sloshing around with his thoughts at
the North Pole and his eye on the South,
and that it is all the same to him whether
he runs over a street car or knocks down
a lamp post. Such attacks Of the small
boy arise from pure jealousy. One of
them, ando who may have often been
attacked by jealous historians and small
minded poets, was waiting on a Wood
ward avenue corner yesterday, when aiar
up the street he espied q load OF hay. Tho
farmer on the load was smoking. That
small boy had been sent on an erraDd
and told to hurry up or he'd get his
Jacket nicely busted, but he no sooner saw
the hay and the smoke than he jumped
over a fenee and lay fiat. on his stomach.
In a few minutes along came the Dad.
The horses were on the walk and the
driver on the puff. He had Just got down
to where the tobacco tasted good, and was
making the most oil it. AS the load
was passing the boy drew in his
breath and shouted, 1'Fire! tire!" at the
top OF his voice. The effect on that far.
mer was wonderful. He threw the pipe
clear to the curbstone, rolled off his load
to the pavement, jumped, and had begun
embarrassing his horses when a pedes.
trian demanded the cause OF his excite
men.
"sone one hollered fire, and 1 thought it
was the hay" he explained.
He walked all around the load, shifted
at it, and when certain that there was no
fire he shook his fist at every house in the
neighborhood and climbed back to his
seat and drove on.
Hthat boy had been a slummix he
wouldn't have seen the hay: II he had
been careless he wouldn't have pnt the
hay and pipe together. II he lad been a
mopehe wouldn't have reasoned:
''0ne load OF hay, plus m pipe, equals
two yells which liitedt that fellow clear out
Of his boots"

A Charming Little story by h Great
French Actress.
The literary talk Of Paris has centralized
itself lately on a remarkable newspaper,
the Paris Macie, ofwhich 200, 900 copies at
one franc we're soldthe FIRST, 1000 a twen-
ty francs, and 1900 at three francs. 1t
was gotten up for the benefit of the inun-
dated population Of Paris, and has already
realized nearly a million Of francs. The
writer's were kings, queens and reigning
princes, the great statesmen and political
men Of Europe, and every French author
and artist Of any note. One OF the most
marked contributions was that OF Sara
Bernhard, Of which the following is q
translation:
"All the fairies were gathered together
around the cradle Of a child. The father
and the mother were listening with emo
tion and respect to the wishes of each
fairy. Child, thou shalt DO beautiful,
great and perfect in body; thou shalt wear
golden crowns, and be a hero; the crowd
shall acclaim thee;thy admirers shall drag
thy chariot; thou shalt make them laugh,
weep, tremble and shudder; poets shall
shed their pearlsa at thy feet; musiciansshNll
tune their Tyres to sing thy praises; thou
shalt be loved by a hundred heroines;
poison and the dagger shall be powerless
against thee; thy renown shall traverse
mountains and seas
1.-THE mother had fallen on her knees 10
thank the fairies, but the door opened
~brusQuely, aud the fairy Of eternal glory
appeared. !,
my sisters; but, in order to punish you for
your forgetfulness, here is my wish: The
crowns OF gold shall be crowns Of card
board; he shall laugh, he shall weep, he
shall live but by the will OF another; even
those who shall have acclaimed him shall
cruelty refuse him the distinctive sign
given to the elite OF citizens; the people
whose idol he shall DO shall break him in
the iullness Of his glory, aud drag him all
quivering with the applause OF yesterday,
behind the chariot OF its new hero; lis
laurels shall change on his head into i'm.
mortelles, and he shall die in sadness and
oblivion, leaving nothing, nothing behind
him!'
"'what will he be, then?"cried the ter
rifed father.
"'He will be a comedianp
"'Then the fairy OF death arose slowly.
Child, l willavenge thee she said. After
thy death that rising artist shall be crushed
by the weight of thy memory"

line Of the Mississippi up to Memphis, are
~enlarging the powers Of their several
Boards OF Health, with u view to the
avoidance of pestilence on the return OF

OF %nuisances arc the order Of the day. The
most healthful feature of the case is that
the merchants and business men, especi.
