While it is to be
hoped crime is not on the increase in
Kentucky, convicts continue to accu-
mulate in the prison walls, and the
Eddyville prison, at cost of half
million dollars to the State, seems ILL
adapted to the purposes of its con-
struction, and bill has been intro
duced in the house by Mr.. Quigsley
this week looking to the building of
several hundred cells in the peniten-
tiary here to relieve the present over
crowded condition, two convicts being
put in many of. the cells now.
A bin has been introduced to abol-
ish the insurance bureau. and another
bill reducing the salary of the Com
missioner of insurance and the clerks
under him. This bureau with its
$4,000 of patronage should be sepa-
rated from the Auditors, office. The
Commissioner gets $4,000 year, and
should be elected by the people.
There is no reason why the Auditor
or any other State officer Gas has been
done) should be permitted to traffic in
these affairs to secure further political
advancement.
The Capitol removal question is now
in state of biennial agitation in the
house. Under the new Constitution
two-third vote of each house is re-
CURED to move it, and heretofore
majority could never agree to move it
from Frankfort, and there is not the
slightest probability that it will be
moved, though the anxiety of some
and the hopes OF others may have ex-
preston in banquets and champagne
suppers to the Legislature, in fact
some irreverent testers insinuate that
such is the Interior purpose of the
movers in the matter.

"The best is none too good" says
the most wonderfully successful trot-
ting horse man in the world. This
rule applies with equal force to tracks
that it does to horses. The man who
is breeding to scrub horses these days
is sowing harvest from which he
will only reap vain regrets. With
the many blooded horses that can be
found in almost every community
there is no excuse for any man raising
a horse for which he will find no sale.
The sensible breeder always aims to
meet the demands of the market.

Hon. j. l.. Kendall's silver speech
in the House has won considerable
notoriety for him. The principal
dailies have given his remarks more
or less favorable comment, whilst the
House accorded to him the courtesy
of close attention and very respect
full hearing. Mr.. Kendall's maiden
effort in the House shows him to be
an orator of no mean ability, and the
congratulations he has received are
enough to turn the head of man less
inclined to lend deaf ear to flattery.

CARNEGIE'S VIEWS.

From recent interview printed in the
Aberdeen tScot. Northern News.
g! sympathize with the desire
to have shorter hours of labor.
We have too long hours of labor in
America. There Is not blast
furnace or mandatory that has to
run night and day at which the
workers do hot work twelve hours
day, the twenty-four hours being
divided into two shifts. l have
told the labor leaders in
America who are working less
than this that before they try to
get shorter hours for themselves
they should take up the case of
their more unfortunate brethren.
but to reduce the hours OF
labor in works that have to run
night and day can only be done by
general law compelling all such
works to adopt eight hour shifts.
We tried this voluntarily ourselves
IN Pittsburg for two years. We
worked the blast furnace men on
three shifts of eight hours each,
hoping that other iron manufac
turers would be induced or com
PEELED to follow our example.
But only one firm in the whole
country did so, and finally COM
petition became 30 severe that we
we're forced to go back to the
twelve hour shifts.
"A law is needed to compel the
hard employers to do what those
who are more liberal would do
voluntarily, and to put all on the
same footing"
"But are not the trades unions
in America strong enou gh to
compel all the masters IN one
trade to adopt the short hours
SYSTEM" | queried.
"No, | do not think that trade
union action would be strong
enough with us to effect it.
Organized capital can beat organic,
ed labor. / should be very glad
if we could pass general law In
all the States of the American
Union that iron works and fac
tories running the whole twenty
four hours should be compelled to
employ thee sets of men, eight
hours each. But such law Is
useless If passed only by one
State; it cannot be enforced until
all the States adopt it,"

JAMES CORBETT.

Chicago, I'll, Aug. 8,-Corbett,
the great young athlete, who is to
meet Sullivan, is training here and
Is dong his work we'll. He is In
superb trim, and all who see him
believe he will give Sullivan a
good fight. Corbett is IN good
humor, and this Is no small thing
IN getting him in trim.
Like many other athletes In
training, there is only one thing
that will cloud Corbett's sunny
temper. and that is delay in serv-
ing a meal for which be is waiting
with wolfish appetite. On such
occasions Corbett walks rapidly
around the veranda with bis fore

IlVan ana OOTpett NJ Woth, What
will the result be? And this
brings to light the interesting and
very pronounced difference OF
opinion between Sullivan and mis-
hackers and Corbett and his sup
porters. That both are confident
OF victory there Is no question.
Sullivans hackers seem to think
that they will take the purse with
Ridiculous ease. They base their
belief on the fact that Sullivan 10
now in good health and strength,
and seems certain to train into
good condition. They hold that
when the champion Is IN form
no man can Withstand his rushes.
Sullivan has said that he will
whip Corbett IN twenty minutes
and that it is unnecessary for him
to train very hard for the meeting.
Corbett said to a reporter:
fUnless Sullivan beats me in
twenty minutes, he will never do

win quickly. Unless he hits me
in the first few rounds while he is
fresh, how is he going to do it? l

ness nor strength. | stood off
Peter Jackson for sixty one rounds
when | was not in good cond ition,
and IN my present form / can do

thing 4 am mach pleased with,
that is the fact that Sullivan is

in the ring in first.class condition,
for then if | win no one can say |

| cannot bo charged with having

w. A. Brady, Corbett's manager,
said: ave do not claim that Cor
bett will knock Sullivan off the
earth, but we insist that we have
an even chance. Here Is Corbett,
twenty-five years odd, born
athlete, in the pink of condition.
and whose sparring is SO good that
he has never been bit in the face.
In battle with Jackson, admitted
to be one of the best fighters in the
world, Corbett, although in poor
form, showed great skill and stay
ing powers. Now, who shall say
he has no chance against Sullivan?
Who can name first class man
that Sullivan has knocked out?
In the days when he went around
putting men to sleep there we're no
Jacksons or Corbetts. When
Sullivan has met a man of any
ability he has had great difficulty
in winning. Mitchell and kilrain
are examples. 1t took Sullivan
seventy five rounds to beat Kill
rain. Slaven easily whipped Kill
rain. and Jackson easily beat
Slavin. Corbett WAS match for
Jackson. Sullivan is credited
with the assertion that he would

jumped into pit after blast had

pit were great number of pieces
of opal broken from the original

from which they were broken, were
found to be of the enormous

A South American traveller say

A South American traveller says
that on the battle field of Tara
paca, In the Andean desert, the
dead are still lying just as they
fell IN the sanguinary conflict be-
tween the ChiIian and Peruvians
many years ago. There were
4,00U men and about 1000 horses
killed in the fight and they were
unburied in the haste of the water
less desert. 1t never rains in Tara
paca, and the sun has dried the
corpses, and the nitrate in the
soil has preserved them, and upon
the plateau 5000 mummies lie in
CHASTITY confusion, with broken
swords and bayonets all as fresh
looking as on the day of that
memorable battle. There .is NO
bird or beast or insect IN that ter
rible desolatlon, and if nobody
interferes with the relics they will
remain the same for centuries. -

A few evenings ago half dozen men
We're sitting out in front of the Capital
hotel discussing various topics, when
Judge Yost, of the supreme court, in
telling an anecdote Of trial, remarked
that the witness yawned and he knew
he was lying,
"How did you know" was asked
"Well, sir, | have seen witnesses lie
and not yawn, but / never knew one to
yawn that he was not telling lie."
Judge Sims. the member of the legis-

always know witness is lying when he
yawns."

most invariably the case"

came up and correborated the state
ments of the others, and just then Judge
Brent, of the superior court, joined the

telling lie, and he knows it,"
Several other lawyers were appealed
to, and all bore out the statements made.

who had theory, and that was that

Making Sand Pies In school.

DIR. Edward Everett Hale has written
upon many subjects. In The Atlantic
Monthly he touches new themc-the
making of sand pies. He went to school,
ne says, when he was about two years
old-a private school, and "a very much
please sort of place"
The floor was sanded with clean sand
every Thursday and Saturday after
noon. This was "a matter Of practical
Importance 10 MS. because with the
sand, using our feet as tools, we made
sand pies.
You gather the sand with the inside
edge of either shoe from greater or less
distance, as the size of the pie requires.
AS you gain skill, the heap which you
make is more ana more round. When
it is well rounded you fiatten it by u
careful pressure of one foot from above.
Here it will be seen that full success
depends on your keeping the sole of the
shoe exactly parallel with the plane of
the floor. If you find you have succeed
ed when you withdraw the shoe, you
prick the pie with pin or broom
splint provided for the purpose, pricking
it in whatever pattern you like. The
skill of good piemaker is measured
largely by the patterns.
1t will readily be seen that the pie is
better if the sand is little moist. But
beggars cannot I've choosers, and while
we preferred the sand on Mondays and
Fridays, when it was fresh, we took it
as il came.
