The Reading of History.

Early in this century native of Penn
sylvania wrote ''HistOry of South Caro-
lina," on the title page of which he placed
this striking sentence from Matthew Henry:
1.-The Muse of History has been so much in
love with Mars, that she has seldom con-
versed with Minerva" AS now written.
histories are more attractive and instructive
to common readers. They come home.
more directly. to our business and bosOms.
Any spring branch, followed far enough,
will lead to the ocean. The common words
we speak. the usages of daily life. the in
situations of church and state, that protect
US, each of these has its instructive record
of origin and growth. Coleridge says the
plainest human face we meet is at once
history and prophecy. The trifiing gossip
is really historian not fully developed.
Let our interest in human beings be higher
and purer. The two years given to En-
glish and American history and literature
may be very profitable to Chautauqua. stu
dents. Let them read the course thoroughly,
and then read from it, and around it.
widely. The great current of human his
tory is bearing us onward. Let us patiently,
hopefully, reverently study whence it
cometh. and whittier it gOeth. flames 81.

law perverting or law subverting agencies
have conspired against them and in favor
of the acquitted criminal. What respect
can they be expected to have for court in
which others are acquitted and in which
they or the like of men are punished all the
day long? 1t is certainly quite natural that
they should consider such cOuIts their en-
emes. Seeing the plain statutes of their
state openly violated every day and Sunday
too, they are apt to lose confidence in the

applied to all alike. they prefer no laws at
all. The administration of justice in this
country has been uncertain and unsatisfac-
tory to an exasperating extreme. The
court houses have devoted themselves en-
tirely too much to making farces of trag
edes. By lionizing one criminal they have
made half dozen moral Anarchists out of
others less fortunate. These Anarchists
sometimes get on the juries. and of course
they help each other. They all do it. Thus
the court houses afford to all lawful

serious weakness in this country to-day is
the failure of the courts to administer equal
and exact justice promptly and completely.
Out of this weakness proceeds want OF con-
fidence in business affairs; prudent men
will be wary of investing where courts are
celebrated for delay and failure. Out of
this weakness comes a largely increased
volume of crime; to suppress crime penal

of this weakness comes corrupt politics; out
of it comes criminal voters; out of it comes

Chapel Services.

Chaplain J. H. Albert took for his text Sunday
morning the eighth verse of the first chapter of
Daniel-"But Daniel purposed in his heart that
he would not defle himself with the portion of
the kings meat, nor with the wine which he drank:
therefore he requested of the prince of the eu-
nuchs that he might not defile himself" The
chaplain said that he could think of nothing so
well calculated to fit young men and women for
practical life as careful study of the men and
women described in the Bible. The Bible char
acters are all drawn true to life and give an in
sight to human nature such a scan be gained from
no other source. He cited examples worthy of
special study. King Saul, King Ahab, Daniel,
Ruth and Queen Vashti The keynote of the ser.
mon was Have purpose" The life of Daniel
was taken as an example of strict adherence to a
fixed life purpose. Daniel had purpose in life
and no temptation, no threat, no power on earth

side of the blocks. The galleries 60 by numbers
instead of by letters heretofore. The new cell
numbers are now stenciled the locks. thus doing
away with the numbered boards that we're attached

Deputy Lemon has brought his artistic knowl-
edge to the task of enlivening the appearance of
things about the cell room. The tar paint with
which all the iron work of the cell room is
painted does not harmonic with his taste for
colors, so he instituted the work of repanting by
beginning with the cell doors which are now re-
ceivng coat of indian red. When the work is
completed the cell room will have lighter and
more cheerful appearance.
The Irvine factory is nearly ready to start un.
der full Roadway. The larger part of the ma
chinery is in working order and more or less Irvine
is made each day. The Irvine made is pronounced
to be of superior quality; and are prepared
to vouch for its smoothness and great strength.
Mr.. James Davidson. who is experimenting the
work of starting the factory, pronouces the quail
ity of the hemp fibre hand to be first class. but
he says that the Minnesota article has not been
properly prepared for making binding Irvine, but
that the Kentucky hemp could not be excelled.
Minnesota hemp. was here the other day to learn
the proper way to prepare hemp for binding
twine.
There is one thing that this prison is blessed
with probably above any other prison in the coun.
try, and that is its water supply. Numerous
springs have their rise around three sides of the
inclosure many of which have been covered up
and find their outlet through underground drains
to the sewers. But some of the larger springs
have been left open at convenient places about
the yard where winter or summer the thirsty nay
find relief. The whole cellroom is supplied with
water from two tanks. one at each end of the hail.
that are fed by pipes leading from good springs.
The kitchen. bakery. and cellar each has its
stream of living water flowing into convenient
sinks. The state board of health recently made a
chemical analysis of this water and pronounced it
excellent for drinking purposes.
The Board of Managers held their regular
meeting Tuesday. All the members were present.
Besides transacting the usual routine business.
they visited the binding Irvine factory and were
much pleased with the looks of things. The
new night school, which the warden had organized
since their last meeting. met with their hearty
approval. and they ordered its continuance They
also decided that the inmates might receive visits
from friends once in four weeks, the interviews to
be limited to thirty minutes. The manufacture of
binding Irvine being matter occupying the at
tention of the state of Minnesota, and as the
plant is nearing completion, the Board adopted a
resolution inviting the Legislature to visit the
prison and inspect the working of the at
some day to be appointed by the Warden.

A PLAN FOR RELIEF.
Suggestion as to How Crowded Streets May
Be Made Safe-Package Cars Could Be
Easily Run ON the Rapid Transit Lines.

Suggestion as to How Crowded Streets May
Be Made Safe-Package Cars Could Be
Easily Run ON tho Rapid Transit Lines.
Richard Bennett suggested . plan for re-
lief from the vast number of passing horses
and wagons on the streets in the lower part
of the city which have made outdoor life
burden to the aged. and even dangerous to the
young and sprightly. The old regulation which
requires teams to keep Is feet apart IS no longer
enforced, and pedestrians have no longer any
rights that teamsters respect-that is. large
number of teamsterS at least.
Mr.. Bennert's plan Is TO have freight cars run
on the cable and electric roads for package de-
livery and in fact for most kinds Of goods. He
freight depots were need ed, and thus the serv-
ices of thousands of horses dispensed with.
These depots would not be far from the resi-
deEce of any person living near the main thor
oughfares, and goods could he delivered more
cheaply than by the present method.
Sanitarians say the health of the city would
be much better were there fewer horses IN IL,
as the streets would be much cleaner than now.
1t may astonish some people to hear that while
the city has doubled In size in ten years, there
are no moro horses used IN 1t than there
were IN 1880. All manufacturing establishments
OF any note have railway switch connection,
and this saves the services of thousands of
horses. The substitution of electric and cable
cars has caused a decrease of l.5O0, and soon
Were it otherwise it would be necessary in all
territory below the Union Station to have either

There is no other city in the country that

Pittsburg, for no other of the same size has as
much freight to handle, and the entire wagon

The candidates are W. H. Jewell, the present
incumbent: w. F. Davenport, Z. w. Kirk, Ben

seems to have filled the office in a creditable
and satisfactory manner, but his opponents
have taken up fight against the organization
to which he belongs rather than against Mr..
Jewell Members of Union No. Is learned that
No. 10 had a committee out electioneerlng for
O'Shea. This being contrary to the constitu-
tion of the organization, No. l5 sent out repre-
sentarives to investigate the matter. Secre-
tary M. z. Carrick and member named En-
glish visited No. "a. in the East End, few
nights ago. and O'Shea was there.
While speaking OShea is credIted with the
use Of the following statement: THE time has
come when the unions of Pittsburg must COM
bine and make square fight against No. l5 as
united minority of that side of the river they
have been able to have tile matters their own
way and it is about time the scattered majority
had something to say"
Union No. 10 held a lively meeting at 10 Fed
erai street, Allegheny, last night. Representa-
tives were present from all of the P1ttsburg
unions and the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed. After the meeting, Secretary Carrick
said: There will certainly be charges pre-
ferred against Mr.. O'Shea for disturbing the
harmony of our organization and we propose to
see the matter as far as it will go. The matter
will in all probability go before the Executive
Committee of the Brotherhood"

down and wept bitterly. He was dismissed.
The other testimony taken was simply

The jury returned a verdict to the effect that
Mrs Faulk came to her dearh from bemorrbape
