Last week we mentioned the coming Of
Mr.. Noblett, of Lancaster county, Virginia,
to survey the field here for a cannery We
understands he finds the conditions favora-
Bile and that he has secured location on
the south side of the belt railroad and will
in the early spring have suitable buildings
erected. Mr.. Penuock, who is connected
with the Vulcan Road Machine Works, and
who has done so much to make that sue
cessful enterprise, and who also has extern
siye gardens in the vicinity Of the site Of
the proposed cannery, is taking lively in
terest in the matter and will make it go"

The Jau Inspected.

Judge Faulkner, having appointed COM
mittee to inspect the Jail, received the fol-
lowing report:
To Hon. Z. Boyd Faulkner:
Having been appointed committee to
inspect the Jefferson county jail, and hav-
ing performed that duty, we beg leave to
make the following report:
The Jail proper is two-story brick
building, with a corridor 30 feet Z inches
long by feet inches wide and three cells,
IL feet 10 inches by feet 9 inches, on each
floor. The cells on the first floor are per-
fectly secured those on the second floor
are not so. We find the sanitary condition
of the Jail good, but we believe it could be
improved by the addition of bath room
and the adoption of the dryearth closet in
stead of the cess pool now in use. There is
every reason to believe that the jailer has
been diligent in the performance of his du-
ties during the last twelve months. The
facilities for heating and ventilating the
cells are excellent and the prisoners are
made comfortable.

Interest in national politics was greatly
revived last Friday evening and Democrat
ic ioy broke out afresh-the occasion being
the payment in the customary manner, of
" wheelbarrow bet on the presidential
election. The winners of this twOiold bet
and riders of their respective barrows were
Messrs. L. A. Brinker and J. Ernest Eas-
terday, Democrats Of weight, who abated no.
thing of their manly avoirdupois for the oc'
casion. The losers were Messrs. f. A.
Higinbotham aud Walter 3. Dunlap. They
were preceded by a drum corps and attend
ed by an exultaut crowd. The presence in
the procession Of third wheelbarrow occu-
pied by Mr.. c. NJ Hough with Mr.. Grubb
of the Carter House in the handles was not
due 10 another bet but to the exuberant JOY
of those two ardent Democrats. The ride
began near the Presbyterian Church and
ended at Mr.. James Thomass saloOn-at
which point, it is presumed, any remaining
obligation was liquidated

The National Capitol Ventila-
ton Is Condemned by
Sanitary Experts.
A Condition That Would Not
Be Tolerated in a Peni-
Tertiary.
The Senate to Spend the Week
in Debating the Silver
Question.
No Action Likely, However,
Until After the National
Conventions.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The experts
employed to investigate the sanitary
condition of the capitol, after search
ing examination have handed in their
report. 1t shows that the ventilation is
on the whole good and sufficient and is
skillfully controlled to meet the require
ments of all conditions except that of
overcrowding during interesting de-
bates. The drainage of the building, its
sewers and its plumbing appliances are,
on the contrary, very defective and
faulty. They combine nearly all the
defects of the early stages OF the art,
practically unredeemed by its modern
Improvements. Ii the ventilation of
the capitol were not so good,
its plumbing work would make it UNI
habitable and some of this is beyond
the power of any general ventilation to
make tolerable. The report concludes:
''lf the capitol were private building
and were in its present condition as to
its plumbing, the board OF health of the
district would probably order it closed,
as dangerous nuisance. 1t is to be re-
membered, however. that huge fans are
constantly at work forcing fresh air and
drawing foul air out, so that there is not
much chance for the accumulation of
what is called sewer gas but its pro-
ductiOn must be constant; and the con-
dition is one that could not be tolerated
in prison or an asylum, though the pa
tients and convicts would have no voice
in the matter. As those who occupy
the capitol are masters of the situation,
the situation is sure to be changed"

is not educated up to the "greenery
gallery" height TO know that there is
more decided color in these delicate It's
sues this year than last, when only the
most neutral tones were looked upOn
with favor.
A novelty that shares hOnOrs with the
big photograph screen is the small table
screen of Japanese embroidery, With
apertureS for twu or more cabinets"
Whether it is high art to introduce a
round American face into Japanese
fishing boat is Question open to doubt,
but leaving such hypercritical Objec-
tons out of consideration, the embrOl-
derieS are so daintily executed and so
pretty in themselves as to form accept
able table ornaments for their own
SakeS. Dressed feathers in good colors
are also used for such screens as well as
for cushions, chair covers, blOtting
pads and 4 dozen other trifies that the
experienced summer housewife will
recommend to the novice as desirable
features Of household economy i'll the
country.
Pretty puffS to throw across the foot
of either bed or couch are made in a Sc
ries of heXagonal pieces, either silk or
soft cotton, sewn together after the
fashion of patchwork. Each piece is
cut purposely three or four times as
large as the lining, and the extra full
ness is drawn to the center of the piece
and fastened there in rOsette.
Other comfortable additions to cham
berS are ball cushionS-made in diyiS-
ions like the inside of an Orange-of
soft, pulled silk. They hang up by a
silk cord. and make satisfactory resting
places for tired heads,
Smaller balls of the same general d.
sign are scented, and are supposed to
make the room in which they are hung
dellciouSly fragrant. Care in the mat
ter of the perfume chosen is recon-
mended to those who make them, how
ever. There are people whom even
musk affects uDDleaSantly.
