THE Tennessee Convict system Worse

I'd Hudson, who says he spent two and

mines At and near Briceville, ellis the chief OF
nouce of Cincinnati horrible story of the
treatment of convicts. lie says the men
are divided into gangs and given certain
amount to do each day. If they fail to get
ont the required amount they are beaten
vith an instrument which very much re-
,embles the Russian knout. All are whip
ned no matter If all but one or two did
their share of work.
lie claims he has seen convicts die from
this beating. Hudson himself is a mass of
scars. The victims are placed on the
ground, face downward, and held by two
men. Every cut of the knout draws blood.
Two men committed suicide to avoid'pun-

At Hampshire, H., last week, an anna
teur dramatic company was presenting a
play, the principal characters in which
we're taken by MahlOn Jones and Miss Ro-
a. Schultz, school teacher. In the last
act the heroine was supposed to plunge a
dagger into the heart of the villain. Be-
fore this scene Jones told the heroine to
"strike hard and make it as realistic as
possible" Miss Schultz, carried away
with the part, followed his instructions to
the letter. The tin sheath, which had pre-
yously been used to make the dagger
harmless, had in some way been removed,
and the keen blade entered Jones's breast
between the second and third ribs. He
fell, fatally wounded, and died at the hos
pital to which he was taken. Tie lung
was penetrated and the knife narrowly es-
capped the heart. The young woman is
Frustrated with grief. Only few days be-

The announcement that bonds were
to be sold in Fairhaven and New
Whatcom brought number of gentle
men to the Bay cities for the purpose
of placing their capital in such de-
sirable investments. These gentlemen
are generally well posted in financial
matters, and are experts in estimating
the probable outcome of a city and the
grounds on which it expects to attain
the prosperity which will enable it to
pay the bonded indebtedness. That
such large number of those interested
in this class of investments made bids
for the bonds to be sold gives an en-
dorsement of the Bay cities of a very
significant character. Their presence
indicates their belief in the future of
the Bay.

were to mutually soothe their outraged
feelings. But in the same town in a

a large town or a good week for news
either. We have endeavored to find out
the cause of this fiery eruption in peace
full breasts. 1t is beyond us, except per-
haps as it is set forth in the following
excerpt from an able editorial in the
journal presided over by one of the ex-
cited editors. As specimen of vigor-
GUS American newspaper work it might
have place in textbook for De Blowitz's
celebrated school for journalism. What
this writer does not know about vigor-
GUS editorial style is not worth knowing.
Only one name he forgot. He should
have called the other editor a whopper

Tesla and Edison.

The greatest triumphs in the applica
ton of electricity TO the industrial art,
belong distinctly to America, and it il
here that the most remarkable inven
tons have been made. Perhaps this il
owing to our dry, stimulating climate
but at any rate thus far Europe has done
little else than repeat our inventions and
apparatus. The two leaders in the field
of electrical invention are Edison and
Nfkola Tesla, representing two rival
companies, the Edison and the Westing-
house. II is notable that both these
made great discoveries early in life. Ed
son was very young when he figured out
the monograph, and a mere STRIPPING
when he invented duplex telegraphy.
Tesla is as yet only SO, and his great dis
covery of rapid alternating current was
made some years ago. One Of the re-
suits OF it is that an electric glow like
daylight may be produced between the
opposite walls of a room by simply hay
ing metallic wall paper and connecting
1t with the central generating plant.
Edison, the wonderful young Ameri-
can, was educated in the telegraph office
mainly and has not much of an opinion
OF porting over books. Tesla, on the other
hand, is the product Of the best poly.
technic schools of his native country.
Austria He is from the province OF
Croatia, but came to America at the AGE
OF 30 because he had read that the
United States was great field for am.
bilious young electricians. Which wiz.
ard is greater, the American who was
educated in practical life or the Austrian.
American who had the learning of a
scientific school besides, it will be for the
future to determine.
Edison's past successes and future ex.
pectations are sufficiently well known
Tesla has perfected apparatus which will
produce an alternating current of 900.
900 alterations per second, such rapid
waves, in fact, that they cause no effect
on the human body. He has produced
flame which lights without making
heat or combustion, but which can BE-
changed so as to produce both wher

1t was Charles Wesley who took bodily
the airs of some exceedingly untheolog-
ical songs and adapted them to the spir-
itual hymns that he poured from his DO
etc brain in such numbers. why
should we let the devil have all the good
tunes" said he.
Various congregations have lately tax
en- up this fine idea of Wesleys and ex-
tendedit. They have during the present
winter given Sunday afternoon organ re-
citals. Church music is acknowledged
to be the most inspiring and satisfying of
all the sweet sounds that can inspire hu-
manity and lift it for little time into
forgetfulness of it's woe and suffering.
But at these organ recitals the music has
not been confined to sacred selections
alone. Extracts from many of the clas-
sic omposers--Beethoven Schumann,
Weber, Chopin and others-have been
performed The exquisite touch of the
most skilled organists in the land has
filled the air with heavenly music, free to
all who wished to spend an hour of a
Sunday afternoon listening toit. 1t may
be that there is sometimes as much of rest
and worship in an hour spent thus as in
listening to the most eloquent sermon.
There are times when music can touch
the heart, though the spoken word can
not.
AT any rate these superb organ recitals
have begun a noble missionary work.
Young people by the thousand go to
beer gardens Sunday afternoons, and
many of them are drawn down to the
pit of ruin. If the church gives better
music than the beer garden, more rest
full, sweet, thrilling and inspiring, it
will draw the best of these young people
within its own doors.
There is another view of the case. Our
country is woefully lacking in musical
culture. The Sunday school tunes played
on little cabinet organ are all that
many people in America ever hear of
music. The wretched rattat tomtom
songs OF the concert saloon are all that
another large and unfortunately con-
SANITY increasing class of our popula-
''on ever hears. Cannot the churches,

nelp humanity, step in aud cultivate

ELEMENTS OF PROSPERITY

In recent issue of the Seattle Tele-
graph the editor of that journal referred
to the uniform enthusiasm which ami
mated the residents of Fairhaven and
New Whatcom in speaking OF the
prospects in store for Bellingham bay.
II any resident of either of the two
BAY cities feels other than enthusiastic
over the future of his home the cause
must be looked for outside of those con-
ditions which are generally influential
in begetting an opinion on subject of
this nature. Encouragement or lack
of faith in the face of the advantages
maintaining here must be occasiOned
by some one of the physical ailments
to which the flesh is heir, and which
cause the sufferer to see shadows where
none actually exist, or to imagine the
presence of clouds in clear sky. The
difficulty is purely subjective, to be re-
moved by the physicians skill. Let
the reader enumerate to himself the
natural conditions or advantages upon
which any great city of the nation is
founded, and majority of those condi-
tons will be found to exist in favor of
Fairhaven's future supremacy, and in
a larger and more favorable degree
than for the major part of the cities
which have grown to influence and a
large population.
1t is difficnlt TO think of any one adj
vantage which makes towards city's |
prosperity which is not possessed in a
large and flattering degree by the I'M
perial city. Whether the favorable |
condition be that of climate or the |
beauty of its scenery, or location with !
respect to the foreign and domestic
markets, or transportation facilities,
either by land or water, or abundance
and quality of commercial or industrial
resources, Fairhaven can give show
ing of which its residents need not be |
ashamed. if placed in comparison with
that of any other city in the country.
In lumber, coal, iron, marble, fine
building stone, lime and all the pro-
ducts of the farm and orchard, the !
country surrounding and Immediately |
tributary to Fairhaven is unrivaled in
the state of Washington, and has no
superior on the Pacific coast. If these
resources are not yet developed, and
the products of this prolific soil not
turned into the active channels of conf
merce, the fault does not inhere in the
resources and soil, but in the failure of
man to avail himself of these elements
of wealth and prosperity. Some
good cause may have operated to
prevent a very pronounced devel-
opment thus far along these lines. The
failure of firm in England, combined
with other influences, may have placed
a stringency on the finances Of this
country and curtailed investments but
these facts do not alter the more SUBJ
stantial and abiding fact Of the bound
try. They are here to be developed,
and by the inevitable law of supply
and demand must sometime be trans
lated into the worlds trade currents.
But beyond peradventure, their de-
veiopment necessitates great city at
the spot on which Fairhaven is located.
When that glad day shall come is not
to be decided by editorial prophecy.
