A Coal and Iron Company Makes n Prop
osition to the State.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. THE chair
man of the penitentiary committee Of the
Tennessee legislature has received a prop
osition from the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company, which will be submitted to the
assembly tomorrow. The present con-
tract, under its provisions, would be abol-
ished. The lessees build a new prison at
the head of the Sequatchie valley, under
the direction of the state, in which will be
kept prisoners not able to work il the
mines. Stockades will be built for convicts
in Marion, Blsdsoe and Sequatchie coun-
ties and the nble-bodied conviots will be
work cd in the Tennessee Coal and Iron
company's mines in those counties,
but nowhere else. The ~lessees are to
pay the state T25o,oOO for the labor Of the
c%onvicts durin9 Il term of rs or 30 years.
The state to pny for clothing, feeding,
transporting and guarding the convicts and
give the lessees the site on which the present
prison stands in this city, the ~lessees to
give the state 800 acres of land with the new
prison which partially disabled ~convicts can
raise products for their own consumption.
some legislators think the bill will pass the
general assembly.

THE pILGRIMAGE TO TREyEs.

The pilgrimage to the city of Treves
to view the coat said to have been worn
by our Savior is attracting widespread
attention throughout the world. Won
derful cures are said to result from
touching the garment and the little city
is filled to overlooking with visitors who
have come to witness these miracles.
The history of the. garment is briefly
this: The Empress Helena, mother Of
the first Christian emperor, Constantine
the Great, %journeyed to Palestine in
search for the CROSS upon which our Sa-
vior died, three centuries after the cru
~citixion. Among the relics secured was
the coat now on exhibition in the cathe-
dral of Treves. 1t is said that the coat
was first shown as early as l196, when it
was placed under the altar of the cathe-
dral. In 1911 it was exhibited under Or
ders from the emperor Macmillan, and
seven exhibitions followed until 1885.
At the close of the seventeenth century,
when the French under Louis XIV. in
vaded Germany, it was hidden away IN
the fortress Ehren Breitstein, whore it
was kept until the close of the seven
years. war. Afterwards it was brought
back to Treves, but again removed into
Germany at the time of the invasion of
Napoleon I. It was next publicly ex-
hibited in 1910, when wonderful miracles
are said to have been performed. The

The present pilgrimage is remarkable.
The streets are filed with people Of all
nations; twenty excursion trains arrive
daily, necessitating the construction Of
a great temporary railway station. The
crowds are SO great that the different
bands of pilgrims under the charge of
priests are permitted to remain but one
night in the city. In the morning they
go to the cathedral, where the coat is
venerated. So-called miracles are per-
formed when invalids touch the gar
ment or crosses and rosaries, which have
been placed in the box containing the
coat. It is a garment known in the
days of Christ as a tunic; it is Of a pc
culiar silk fiber and is woven in one
piece. 1t is said to correspond to the
brief description given in the scriptures
of the coat worn by the Savior. 1t is
popularity supposed that the day Of mir
acles has passed and n will be incred-
ulous as to cures performed in this man
ner without minute evidence. Pilgrim
ages of this sort have been of frequent
occurrence for many years. Visions and
lights have been seer at different places
and miracles have been said to have
been performed when these have been
seen. Aside from the religious interest
in the present pilgrimage there is great
historical interest as shown by the I'M
disputed records from the time of Con-
stantine.

MINNESOTA astronomers were inter-
ested last week in observing the pass
age of VOLTS comet. A peculiar feature
Of this comet, according to astronomers,
is that it's tail turns way from the sun
contrary to the usual custom OF comets,
for being thrown from that body their
nucleus, or head. would naturally be
turned away from it. This comet points
in ths opposite way, n phenomenon
which has not yet been explained. There
may be political significance in this
astronomical freak. Perhaps the comet
is hanging around until 1892, to bear
away broken political booms for second
hand use in the solar world.

WASHINGTON, Sept. THE postmaster
general vas indignant when he learned that
during his absence on a vacation an ill
informed clerk in one of the bureaus of the
postofice department had given out false
information to the press. that the free de-
livery experiments in small towns was not

the latest reports from these experiments
to be made, and found that they were sue

critics of the experiment. 1t is already an
established fact, it is stated. that the in

THE Chicago Inter O'ean's special
San Francisco dispatch says: Not
only has the Blaine boom acquired its
old time strength among the repub-
licans of California. but a singular Blame
movement has been started among the
democrats. In democratic counties
democratic politicians have already ar
rayed themselves in favor of Blaine"
Mr.. Blaine's friends will show wisdom by
taking very little stock in this sort OF
talk. Tho Blaine movement among
democrats in 1892 will be very much
like the movement in 1854. Democrats
will be- democrats next year as in every
other year since the organization Of the
party.

Dennis kearney, of San Francisco, whose

An Expert Snys Loppy suffered No fnin
and Died in Onc.Thousandth of n

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Dec. l0.-Dr.
Wheclock Ryder, the eminent specialist
OF this city, wal one OF the witnesses OF
the Loppy execution at Sing Sing last
Monday, although his name did not
appear in the press reports. To q re-
porter the doctor said yesterday: "Yes,
l was present ut the execution"
"Do you regard the c~lcctrocution as
successful"
Most decidedly I do, and it is GER
tainly tho most humane way OF exc
cutting criminals, ii we are going to exc
cute them at all. There was nothing
sickening, nothing terrible about the
manner in which Loppy met his death,
Notwithstanding sensational newspaper
reports to the contrary. There was no
odor of burning flesh, OF which so much
has been said, nor frightful contor-
TONS"
"Was death instantaneous"
"ies, it was quicker than that.
Death did not occur after the current
was turned on, but the instant it was
applied. Loppy did not suffer. Suffer-
ing was impossible. Death occurred
in one-thousandth part OF a second and
pain, ii such it may be termed, which
does not last longer than that, cannot
cause suffering. Any pain which Loppy
suffered l would be willing TO endure
all day."
GLOW long were the currents ap-
plied?'
