~iurderers and Thieves Who Sing Nearer,

Six hundred men in striped clothing lis
tened TO the sermon Of the Rev. Mr. Barn
Will ct the prison church in Jeffersonvllle
Yesterday morning, says The Louisville
Times. S.nce breakfast the cells had been
open. and the men sat about in the corridors
amusing themselves by singing, telling
stories and in divers WAYS
It was a curious. Vet withal a sad sight
Among them were great, powerful fellows,
with splendid muscles and intelligent faces
men who, had they stuck 70 the paths Of
honesty, might have ranked high among
their fellows in social and political life.
Then there were scores Of low browesi con-
yicts, with the peculiar hang dog look that
always characterizes a sneak thief, who did
rot seem at all out Of their proper sphere.
, There were large men and small men. fat
men and lean men and ugly men; in fact.
every type OF mankind could have been Sc
lected from among them There were many
present whom the reporter knew in happier
times
Towering high above all the rest was the
figure OF man who now owns one OF the
finest farms in Clark county and who once
stood among the foremost in his neighbor-
hood. II was Jack Robinson, who is serving
a life sentence for killing his neighbor, Sam
uel Hay, in quarrel about the boundary
lines of their farms
He is over 20 years Of age, his hair and
beard are long and gray, and it is apparent
that his sentence will be short one.
Looking about him the reporter saw a
dark bearded man eyeing him intently. Il
was Edward McDermott, a man with whom
many years ago the writer PLAYED st school

Germany,s New Ruler.

Emperor Frederick III. spent the last
night before his departure from San
Reno to Berlin in quiet repose. In the
morning he drove to the station accom-.
panied by Empress Victoria, and took q
special train. The largest crowd ever seen
in San Reno gathered to witness the de-
parture. The new Emperor was enthu-
siastically cheered by the crowd, and he
repeatedly bowed his Acknowledgements of
their greetings. The Emperor looked well
except his complexion is somewhat yellow.
King Humbert OF Italy Travelled from
Rome to San Pier d Arena to meet the
Emperor Frederick. King Humbertentered
the Emperor's coach and embraced him.
The Emperor could not speak because ofhis
sickness, but wrote many thankful notes.
Empress Eugene translated signs made by
the Emperor and conversed with King
Humbert in French. The silent parting be-.
tween the two rulers was affecting. The
accession OF Frederick III. to the throne
tends to strengthen the hope that peace
will be maintained. The soldiers have
taken the oath OF allegiance to the new
Emperor.

Growth of Speech in a Child.


The babes first cries are purely in
stinctive, and therefore purely animal.
Its consonants are M and b, labials
and liquids-used with the open VOW
els. 1t does not use the genial tu-
bercle, nor for many weeks the frontal
brain. It's second list Of sounds move
farther back and are g, goo, gutturals
OF the simplest sort. We have to
bear in mind that the babe oganically
follows historic evolution and is an
epitome OF past progress. So, also in
his speech he moves on and over the
pathway of the past and reviews it
all. An intelligent child expresses ap-
probation and disapprobation by the
same sounds that are used by adult
monkeys. The savage hardly uses
cerebrated sounds at all. The refine.
ment of langu ages has ever consisted
in eliminating the animal inheritance.
The child's use OF gestures is also in
herited. He does not need to learn
to use his hands; only to secure mus
cular strength to direct them. His
play is at first purely animal frolic,
rejoicing in shouts and shrieks that
later he does not find necessary 70
his enjoyment. His Laughing and cry
ing can only be understood as Ian.
guage, as they surely are also in
adults.

Crop Estimates.

The statistical returns OF the depart.
ment OF agriculture for March relate to
the distribution and consumption OF wheat
and corn, the stock in farmers hands, the
proportion OF mercantile corn and average
prices respectively OF merchantable and
the smallest since 1884, and the remain
der Oh farms also the smallest in several
years. 1t is estimated at $685.
100000 against SOB, 100000 last year
and 1913, 1000, 900 two years ago. The in
dictated stock OF the wheat OF 1887 in the
hands OF the farmers was 1872, 100000
bushels, against 122 .0OO,O last year, or
20 per cent OF the crop against 26.7 per
cent last March. There has been used in
seeding OF winter wheat "a, 900, 900 bush
els, 1877, 100000 in eight months con-
sumption, 81, 900, GOO bushels exported in
wheat and Hour, 3S,0O0,O 900 visible sup
ply, and an unusual quantity OF minor
elevators and mill stocks in the
course OF distribution between farms and
local consumption. The report of cotton
marketed was complete for eight states a
month ago, but for deferred returns from
the Carolinas and Texas. The apparent
proportions forwarded from plantations
on the first OF February were as follows:
Virginia, 80 per cent; North Carolina 81;
South Carolina, 90; Georgia, 81;
tloflda, Of; Alabama, 92; MISSISSIPPI
pi 80; Louisiana, 80; Texas, "a; Ar
kansas, 90; Tennessee, IS; Mis-.
souri, and Inuian Tertiary, 90. The gen
eral average is 80 per cent. This indicates
an increase OF 3 or per cent on the ag-
gregate OF the country estimates Of the
first OF October, although the February re.
turns ofestimated product compared with
that OF 1886 were nearly Identical with
the November returns. This furnishes a
further illustration OF the local tendency
to underestimate the production. 1t was
suggested in the November report that it
might be assumed that deep-rooted and
early and well-developed plants would
produce better than is expected in their
apparent loss OF condition, and that it
should suppress this first estimate, the
excess might be due to this cause. This
view was correct. An allowance for the
depression effect OF panic in local returns,
stoutly opposed by spectators, is again
found necessary. The quality OF the fiber
is superior, condition clean and the yield
OF lint little above 80 per cent. The
value OF seed averages 16 cents O bushel
on the Atlantic, is 5 in Mississippi, ID in
Tennessee, ID in louisiana and II in
Texas.

UNION MEETING, TAsfNfANY HALL.
Gov. Williams. of Colorado, says: am
OF the opinion that the decision of the
Iowa railway commissioners upon the
matter OF permitting incompetent engi-
neers to run passenger trains or. the,Chcago,
burlington d Quincy right and just, and
no man who has not proven himself fully
competent to run a locomotive should be
permitted to jeopardiZe the lives of the
passengers as we'll as the property of
the company by being put in charge
OF the train. Were my opinion asked
as to the best way to settle the present
trouble, l would advise the officials of the
burlington w dCce1e aG once TO CQe Qe-
mands OF the engineers and fremen upon
the basis paid these men by other corpora
tions having as extensive territory as the
Burlington. II this is impossible then l
heartily agree with the ideas OF Gov. Lar
rabee, advising a settlement by arbitra-
ton Immediately.
All the railroads terminating in East st.
Louis have stopped handling Burlington
freight. The members of the brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers held meeting
in Duluth recently to discuss matters per-
tanning to a strike. Chief Arthur in a re-
cent interview said:
[ think the decision OF the Iowa commits
sioners has been eminently fair and i'm
partial. also believe that the letter OF
Gov. Larrabee OF Iowa to President Per.
kins, OF the Burlington, will be commend
ed by the business aud travelling public,
not only in Iowa but throughou the coun-
try. The Burlington members of the
Brotherhood will be sustained and
supported by the entire organiza-
ton just as long as the men
wish or require help and that is certainly
longer than the "Q' can 60 without

I have only to say that the nerve OF these
men has and will be dem ons trated in this

The situation in st. Paul and Mime.

week of the strike is unchanged.

Statutes, which rank among the
best. For many years he was attorney
for the Sioux City railway, after which he
looked after the interests in the First Ma
tional bank OF st. Paul, in the same capac-
ity. He was large man. well developed
physically and sound legal adviser. He
was quiet man. a close student and an
upright Judge. He had been south for

Americans of the middle and upper
classes-i. e., those who can afford to

Such is the result arrived at from a

years since 1874. At twenty the ex-

In reporting a bill to reduce the postage
on seeds, bulbs. etc, to the house. the
committee on postoffices says: The de.
mand for the reduction OF the posta5e on
this matter seems to be based on Justice
The demand Unsupported by the agricultu-
raj class. Since the conclusion of the
postal convention with Canada, seed from
that country has driven American seed
from the mails, and the discrimination
which makes our people pay four times as
much as foreigners is unjust. The burden
tails on the planter, and the reduction will
innre to the benefit of the agricultural
class. It is believed to be eminently prop
er to reduce the rate OF postage on seed
one-half. The bill fixes the postage at one
+ cent for each two ounces

One characteristic worthy of note In
Mr.. Wolfson is that he never advertises
Especial drives" The uninitiated may
not understand the full significance Of
this term. 1t means the advertising of
merchandise at such prices as are lower
than the manufacturer can make the
goods for. The morning response OF
customers to this sort of Advertising
especial drives"-is met with the In
variable answer that the goods were
sold the day before. II the call is made
in the evening, then the answer is that
1.-THE rush was SO great during the day
that they all went off," But Mr..
Wolfson never keeps bargains which
before stated, his goods are bargains
throughout.
1t goes without saying that all this
presuppOses an absolute knowledge of
the condition and wants Of his vast
trade on the part of Mr.. Wolfson, and
this far seeing comprehensive grasp Of
business is also An ingram characteristic
of the man. Simplicity there is every
where, but 1t is the simplicity Of sbso-
lutte organization and perfect arrange
ment. M. Wolfson reveals this charac-
teristic in every personal movement az
we'll as In personal presence. No hustle,
hurry, confusion, or arrangement of his
natural, calm manner Ia ever noticeable.
This thorough self-containednsss and
internal Observation-Disclosures ia very ap-
parent to those who seek below the sur
face OF things for the causes which con.
spire to make mammoth and compli-
Gated business like this apparently run
ITSELF
1t is gratifying to note that this en-
bodyment of himself in his business has
been so eminently successful In the case
of Mr.. WOlfson. His trade is constantly
enlarging, and there is practically no
limit to its volume. Mr.. Wolfson ia so
intimately associated with all that con-
Germs the material prosperity Of this
city, that an enlargement Of the volume
Of the city trade means a material In
crease in the trade of it's great merchant
prince. Wolfson will buy out the whole

or cease to lead southwest Texas trade.
To know the man is to understand his
business, and when that Ia understood,
the secret of his great success Is appar-
emit. 1t lies in THISTLE gives every man
more for his money than any other deal
