the past fiscal year increased the
sale of stamps over the previous
year to $2,O15,253.50. In postal
cards there were increased sales
amounting to $163,005. The de-
crease in the cost and manufacture

ter postage from three to two cents

A MODEL PENAL INSTITUTION.
How the South Carolina Penitentiary Is Man
aged-HOW the COnvictS Are Employed.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. 21-The South Caro-
lima penitentiary is an admirably managed in
stitutien. 1t is more than self-sustaining; in
fast, it brings into the State treasury no incon-
siderable revenue. At present it contains 9S7
convicts. A year ago the number was 943 or
forty -four fewer than now. About 600 of these
convicts sleep in the penitentiary proper, being
employed during the day in the shoe factory
and hosiery mills, at the State-house, or on the
Columbia canal The others are hired out to
contractors, and work railways, farms, or in
phosphate mines, some being employed in the
brick-yards few miles below the city. About 90
per cent. of the convicts are negroes. Among
them are all descriptions of criminals, from
the hardened murderer to the amateur
petty thief Some serving life sentences
some are In for twenty years, while others are
sentenced for short terms varying from one year
to i've years. The guards of the penitentiary
are well disciplined, brave. alert, sober and
trustworthy young men. The commandant of
officer. Escapes are exceedingly rare. The
grounds buildings, shops. commissary, hospital
stables etc.. are kept scrupulously Clean and an
air of thrift and good management pervades the
whole place. The mortality of the convicts is
light, all things being taken into consideration.
From the 1st of October, 1885. to the 18th day of
August, 1886, forty-two deaths have occurred
from various causes. Within the past nine
months about thirty FIVE pardons have been
granted by Governor Sheppard and his prede-
cessor, Governor Thompson, but in case it
is claimed, was the pardoning power abused or
employed unrighteously.

GOING INTO POLITICS.
A Secret Meeting of Alleged Workingmen
Literally Leavened with Socialism.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-A meeting from which re-
porters were excluded was held to-day at Green
baum's Hall, In answer to a call to each labor
organization in Chicago to appoint three dele
gates to a conference for the purpose of discuss
ing the labor and political situations, and to con-
slider the propriety of placing in the field an in
dependent county ticket, including county Off
GERS. members of the Legislature and Judges. 1t
is claimed that ninety-one organizations of the
Knights Of Labor and of labor organizations
were represented. There were 273 delegates in
attendance. Among the speakers Mrs.
Black, wife of the counsel of the Anarchists.
Mrs. Black told the assemblage that the Anar-
chist trial should be lesson to them. 1t showed
that tlfsy must stick togetheri if they wanted to
accomplish anything. One thing they must
have-that was representation on the bench.
A permanent organization was effected. The
| platform adopted recommends that every
| trade and labor organization in Cook county
which believes in using its political power, or
| ganize permanently into a federation or organ
| ization for independent political action An
executive committee of twentyo was elected
| to call convention for nominating full ticket

| Mrs. Black, when entering the hail. was re-
ceived with applause, as was, also, her husband,
who entered after her. Mrs. Parsons, wife of
the Anarchist, did not go into the meeting, but
| listened to the proceedings from an ante-room

in attendance The Socialist, Joseph Gruenhut,
who has for long time been an employee of the
present city administration, was apparently the
leading spirit of the meeting After adjourn
ment he said that now there were 100. 900 people
organized in labor unions in Chicago 1t was de-
sirable to bring these men together. They were
now divided into tho Knights of Labor, the Cen

THE PRESIDENT AT CHURCH.
He and His Party Attend Services in the Aft
ernoon-Rev. Mr. TROOPS Adventure.

PROSPECT HOUSE, Aug. 22-The Presidents
party deferred attendance at church, to day, I'M
til the afternoon. The services of the day were
conducted by the Rev. Montgomery Fl. Throop,
an Episcopal clergyman of Chicago. Mr.. Throop
is camping on the lower Saranac lake, and at the
request of the Rev. Mr. Dunton, who supplies
the pulpit. he consented to oficiate to-day. The
journey is about twenty miles. and has to be
performed in boat. Mr.. Throop had an ad
venture on this journey which he will not soon
forget. With boy for companion and guide,
he started for the church at this point
yesterday afternoon. Instead of going ashore
and carrying his boat around the rapids of the
Saranac river, as the guides do, Mr.. Throop
thought he would push right through He got
stuck before going far, and then an oar slipped
overheard and was swept down stream. Further
progress was impossible. for travelling along
shore under rapidly setting sun was not to be
thought of in such wilderness Knowing that
guides were constantly passing and repassing,
the shipwrecked couple curled up On a rock,
waiting for whatever would turn up, and
both fell fast asleep. guide, who was making
his way up the river with boat
load of baggage reached the rock about
10 o'clock at night. and his keen eye
detected something unusual in its
appearance. Thinking bear was perched upon
it, and proposed to dispute his passage, he
shouted right vigorously. AS there was
movement when he shouted third time. he
reached forward among the baggage and felt for
his Winchester. Just then the clergyman
awoke and startled the guide with sharp
''helo, therep An understanding was reached,
the baggage in the boat was readjusted. and the
two waits were taken aboard and padded to
Bartlett's Hotel, where they remained over
night. This morning guide pulled them eight
miles up the lake to this hostelry, where Mr..
Throop related his adventure with great gusto.
1t is President Cieveland's intention to con-
tinue having his headquarters at this place, and
to make daily fishing excursions to some one Of
