Not enough Conv:cts i'll the I'enite ntiary
to Do the Work Required,


SALTWATER, Special Telegram, Aug, 81.
There has not been an arrival at the state
prison since the early part OF July, aid
there have been so many pardons and ex-
piratons Of terms that there are not enourh
convic;s Oh hand to do the work required
as the thresher company is guaranteed a
certain number, and but few available men
are lie for state work. The Irvine binding
machinery is kept busily at work, and the
experiment Of making twine by state labor
has proved success, although the farmers
did not Eatronzc the output as much as
they should. However, the establishment
OF the plant gave to the farmers eli cap Irvine.
the trusts having put the price Of the article
Tar below market value in hopes to crust,
the state enterprise, and it has thus been
profitable to the farmers. Another year.
however, the state will be able to sup
ply binding twine at much lower
figure than this year, as it will not onlv
have the business experience but also will
nave goodly supply cf home raw mate
rial instead Of having to import it from
Kentucky, and an article even superior to
the excellent twlne supplied this year will
be furnished at a price lower than the trusts
can put 1t on the market, unless thew cut
prices below cost. The state article should
have the preference, as the farmers have
been ilnportunate IN having the Irvine lac
tory started, and it it is not paying con-
Germ, the loss comes out O. the farm
ers own pockets, as the state has to support
It's own institutions. Warden Garvin is
much pleased with the volume of sales as
he finds there is certain amount of feeling
that because it was made by convicts it
could not be equal to that made bv free
labor; but the Irvine has stood the test with
any sold in the state from Eastern factories.

AN ELOQUENT LECTURE.
Rev. s. Hlrshbcrger Talks on the Mission
OF Judaism,


At the Jewish synagogue, in the Odd
Fellows hall building, last evening,
Rev. Samuel Hirshberger, a recent grad
uate of the Hebrew Union College, lee
tured to good-sized audience, his
theme being "The two-fold Mission Of
Judaism" He took as his text Isaiah
AZ, vi, and said:
Judaism is most important factor in
moulding the religious beliefs OF the
world at large. Aftert the decline Of the
Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Babylonian
faiths, it to-day yet tlourisheth. 1t
takes pride in the Christian faith, mas
much as it is the lovely daughter OF the
mother rCligion-Judaism. The two
fold mission OF Judaism is as the cham
pion OF humanity and the banner
bearer Of truth.
Then the speaker clearly defined the
distinction between theology and relig-
ion. Judaism is inits truest sense relig-
ion, and as such fully entitled to the
proud distinction OF the designation,
covenant OF the people"
Judaism is q religion OF reason and
progressive faith, and us such Gun Justly
be called tho light Of n nation. Its main
mission rs sucha light is to disseminate
truth. Judaism is never opposed 10
progress; on the contrary it Welcomes
all the advances OF science and unites
with it to make the world happy in the
possession OF divine truth.
The speaker then addressed theyoung
, members OF the Jewish community,
urging them to recognize tho glorious
mission OF their faith, and to affiliate
with the congregation and work faith
fully for its advancement. Judaism
stands rs Pharos on the ocean OF time
TO guide erring mariners of whatever
creed into the harbor OF everlasting
bliss. All nations will gradually be.
come convinced OF its high and lofty
nFinciples..
