DIR. A J. Battle, who, for many years, has
beer the president of Mercer University, at
Macon, aud who resigned the other day to
accept the presidency of a female college
in Gainesville, Ca, is one of the most sue
cessful educators in the south. He is
thoroughly equipped for the work, and it is
not surprising that Mercer is opposed to
giving him up. As the president of a
female college he will be success, just as
he has been at the head of q male college.
He is not only learned, but his manner is
gentle and courteous

poke fun at the prince, but he stood his
ground, and now it is stated that he has
unearthed the leper, whose name is Edward
Foxan, and who has been placed at White

County Jails in Georgia.

Col John r. Towers, the principal keeper
OF the Georgia peaitentiary, said the other
day that some Of the jails in this state were
in very bad condition. being poorly venti-
lated and filthy. Col. Towers thinks tia
much Of the abuse heaped upon convict
lessees for alleged ill-treasment Of convicts,
such as would undermine health, should b.
directed against certain county authorities.
as convIcts are sometimes sent to the peni-
Tertiary in such condition, resulting from
their surroundings while in jail, that they
do not live to serve out their seateucas
Judge John L. Hopkins has recently
written an article on county jails, and he
says that the average jail in Geo gia is a
house Of death, d he uses tho following
strong words: 81 do not doubt that the
condition Of penitsntiary convicts who are
undergoing punishment for crime is vastly
better than that Of unconvicted prisoners
in the average county Jail. Merely passing
from darkened cell. in filthy, unwhole-
some Jail, out into the open air, with labor
to engage the attention, is alone enough to
show the difference between the two condi-
tions. The preferable place is the one held
by the man who has been tried, found
guilty and sentenced to punishment
There is no doubt that there is a great
deal of truth in what Judge Hopkins siys.
There are jails 10 this state which are dis
grace to civilized people They are old,
decaying, filthy, and without ventilation.
OF courss they are source of disease. 1t is
a question, however, If jails of this descrip-
ton are the rule, rather than the exception.

jalls constructed and k'pt upon humane
principles 1t may be doubted also il
Georgia's jails ara worse than those Of

When p isoner is in jail awaiting trial.
he is entitled to a certain amount of con.
sideration. Until he is convicted he is pre-
sumed to be innocent. and he should not be
severely punished, before being found
guilty, by confinement in such quarters as
will break do wn his health.
Col. Towers suggests the appointment of
jail inspectors for the state. Judge Hop
kirs suggests that each county shall be re-
quired to construct, in connection with the
jail, a stockade, in which prisoners may
have open air and sunlight, under the
direction of county physician. These
suggestions, and others which may be made
in the interest of prison reform in this
state, should receive the careful attention
of the legislature.

Ex-Gov. Bullock, of this state, thinks
that liberal appropriations for education

Some of the republican organs tell Gov.
Bullock that he is right, but that what
must be done first is to secure an honest
ballot and fair COUNT and then they ad-
vocate the passage of law placing con-
gressional elections under federal control.
There is already in the South an honest
ballot and a fair count. WHAT the republi-
cans want is sort of returning board''

A PIONEER WOMAN
Who Game to st. Paul Poor and
Died Wealthy,

About o'clock yesterday evening occurred
the death of Mrs. Mary Casey, of 347 Mime
sofa street, relict of the Iate John Casey. In
her death the city loses one of its few re-
manning pioneer settlers of the "forties''
She died in the sixty-seventh year of her age,
of sudden bilious attack. Though she had
been ailing for few months past, up to the
time of her fatal sickness Mrs. Casey was re-
markably active for OIL Q so aged. She came
To st. Paul in 1S49 making her home for sew
eral years with the family Of William Pitt
Murray. and thereafter marrying John Casey,
whom she survived. She leaves two sons,
Patrick j. Casey. of 80 Garfield avenue. a
driver in the police department, and John
Casey. who is in Montana.
Though she came TO st. Paul q poor girl,
earning her own livelihood, Mrs. Casey died
worth probably $3.50 o. Her wealth was
acquired through the remarkable advance in
st. Paul realty. Thtrty-two years ago her
husband gained possession of lot in what
was then known as lower town, and erected
a cheap cottage. This lot. 5iixl5O feet in
dimensions at the corner of Fourth and
Minnesota streets, is now in the very heart
of st. Paurs business district Early in the
history of their married life the energetic
young matron resolved to assist her helpmeet
by taking in few boarders The venture
proved profitable, and ultimately larger
house was bui t. From that time until
the middle Of the past summer the little
boarding house was maintained. mu,h-
room growth of frame buildings sprung up
aroundit ana were torn down to give place
to massive brick and stone structures, bu.
Notwithstanding tempting offers repeatedly
made the Caseys for their property. they were
all refused. and the little frame building held
its own against all corners. One corner of
the lot was eventually given up TO grocery,
which yielded a substantial rental. and three
years ago Mrs. Casey built three-story brick
block on the Minnesota street side. but the
wo pden structure on Fourth street was never
torn down. she was also the owner of some
outside property.

TWAS DAGGnlr AFTER ALL,
But the Charge Preferred Was
Very Flimsy One.

''My man, W. S. Daggett, is the one wanted,
after ALL" remarked United States Marshal
Campbell In speaking Of the attempted ar
rest of that person by deputy sheriff OF
Hennepin county two days ago. II received
g letter from the sheriff at Minneapolis,
which explains the matter" Mr.. Campbell
stated the history of the affair TO be about as
follows: Luther :. Brown, of Minneapolis,
was indicted by the federal grand jury upon
a charge of counterfeiung. Daggett as
deputy marshal. arrested him. At the same
time he seized a lot of moulds- dies and other
articles incident TO a countertelters kit to-
gether with some bogus coins and two plct-
ures of Brown. At the trial Brown claimed
that the outfit for the manufacture OF spu
rious coin did not belong to him, but to an old
man that lived in the same house with him,
and the bogus coin found on his person was
put in his pocket without MS knowledge.
The Jury acquitted Brown. and subsequently
he went before the grand jury of the Henne-
pin county district court and claimed that
Daggett had stolen from his dwelling two
pictures of himself, valued at 81.
Upon this exclamation of the matter Dag
gett readily admitted that he was the person
meant and expressed his willingness to go 10
MINNEAPOLIS at any time he is wanted. as he
has no fear of any conviction on the hlmsy
charge preferred. The sheriff OF Hennepln
county informed him thai he could go up at
any time suitable to him.
Arrangements were then made that as soon
as the United States district attorney had
leisure he and Daggett would be in attend
ance to answer the charge. The federal or
8cials will see that a proper defense is made
in the case, as Daggett was in the discharge
of his duty in seiZing whatever was necessary
in Identifying, or 10 be used IN the rlai on
the cnarge of cOunterfeiung.
