WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, June 30. 1898
Both ends of the Capitol building are in the
hands of small army of workmen. who are
putting everything in ship-shape for the extra
session of Congress. Everything is being over
hauled and freshened up or renewed, as the exi-
xeucies of the case may demand. Although the
probability of President Cleveland making an
earlier date for the extra session than Septem-
Der is regarded as exceedingly slim. it was
thought best to rush the work at the Capitol, so
that everything would be ready for Congress to
assemble as early as the latter part Of July. in
case the President should change his mind.
Speaking of calling the extra session of Con-
Rress earlier than September. gentleman who
had a long conversation with the President on
the subject. says: 1.-THE President thinks. and
agree with him. that instead of being reason
for an earlier extra session. the action of the
Government of Great Britain in stopping the
coinage of silver on private account in India.
furnishes one of the strongest reasons against an
earlier session. Every one has some sort of an
idea of what will be the result of cutting off with
a stroke of the pen the market for about one
third of the worlds silver. but only time can

NOTTINGHAM. ENG June 9. 1893 4
DEAR FRIEND-No doubt you have heard of
my safe voyage of 400 miles. and arrival in
England, for which am truly thankful. and a
weeks rest at the home of my mother, in this
town. Like the woodchuck, 1 crawled out to
see what was to be seen.
There were people living here long before the
time of our Savior. This is manufacturing
town, grown as fast as Cleveland and is now
peopled by go roo. The OLD original town. the
streets are very narrow, and who'll streets OF
houses with the upper stories for workshops,
and old fashioned double windows. Here in
the old times. before factories were built. lace
and gloves were manufactured. Many of these
houses were three or four hundred years old.
perhaps more.
We paid visit to the ancient Caste of Not
tiugham, 1t was an old Saxon astle. William
the Conqueror. Edward 4th, Richard Bird. and
many other Kings have lived, there or fought
agains the castle, and finally it was given to
the Duke of Newcastle. who lived there until
the year 1881, when ii was fred upon from the
stecple of the parish church. at the time of the
great bread riots. This made the Duke what
Americans call mad. He never afterward
lived there, and finally sold the castle and
grounds to the City of Nottingham. for EDO 90.
and they have m sde a beautiful place oft The
hill or rath er rock, upon Which the castle
is built is perhaps two acres. and is, should
think, three or 1our hundred feet from the street
and can be approached from only one side.
Ihe grounds are finely laid !out. and there is a
splendid museum; thousands of pictures. lace
flomall over the world Two iron gates. one used
in London in 1896, the other n this town in 1900
sight interesting to me was the old oven,
built of stone. used by the Duke of Newcastle in
1910, How I would have liked to see the venison
and beet coming out of it in olden times. This
hill is riddled with passages. some run all over
the town, and many a toul deed was committed
in these places. One hole was found in 1854,
with stone steps. through which Roger Morti-
mer was taken by Edward 3rd. at midnight.
October I9lh, 1880 l expect some day to 60
down this passage. l saw pieces of the wall
centuries old.
Tuesday of this week we went out into the
country and spent the day on a farm. Give me
the country. This farm is rented by firm Of
grocers in Nottingham. at rental of twenty
five shillings per acre, l must say was enter-
tanned in real hearty English fashion. think
farming Too slow for me Three or four
horses ahead of each other and two men for one
plough; no cultivators ON the farm, all done
with the hoe. Some of the implements l will
describe in another letter One wagon it would
be hard work for three of our horses to draw to
the Center. The buggies are high up. with
wheels bigger than our wagon wheels. but the
roads are wonderful. No mud. no holes have
not seen any sand or mud since arrived in
England.

impersonal and well padded essays would.
She was acting Meg Merrilies. In one
scene in answer to her appeal for money,
he, personating an important character in
the piece, hands her his purse filled with
the broken crockery which is generally used
for stage gold. One day Miss Cushman
suggested gently to him the superior real
ism of opening the purse, selecting a coin
and giving it to her. No matter how mag
nificent 1t might look it was hardly nat

1t Costs Something.

From recent table promulgated from
the Office of the Auditor of State show
ing the status of each county in the Ohio
penitentiary, we extract the figures rel
ative to the number of convicts and the
amount it has cost to put them away.
In order that our readers may be better
enable to decide as to the comparative
merits of the situation, we add the
population of the respective counties,
giving rhese comprising the Sixth Dis.
trict which territory embraces our little
world. The district has population Of
172,O2S. Brown county has 5 convicts
in the penitentiary, for whose admission
to the institution she has poid $2,394 81.
Her population is 29,S99. Clermont,
with population of 1858, has guests
at Columbus. For their entertainment
she has paid 81 AIS 80. Clinton, with
a population of 4,240, has 8 people at
Columbus, whose prosecution has cost
$1,047.14. Greene, population 29,S20,
has IA boarders, whose prosecution has
cost 81, ,394.s2. Highland, population 49,.
04S, has 6, for whom she has paid ST.
691.72. Warren's population is 25,46S,
and is represented by truly bad people,
for which she gave $745,1 16 to put "out
of si6ht." To recapitulate The sixth
district, with population of ,02S, has
40 convicts, who have been brought to
justice at an aggregate expense of 49,.
600.1S. Attention is directed to the diff.
ference in cost bills, Brown having paid
nearly double for prisoners what Cler.
mont paid; and Clermont and the other
counties nearly double what was paid by
Warren for the same number. Green
pays $1,000 less for IA convicts than
Brown paid for5. The disproportionate
number of Green's convicts in accord.
ance with the population is accounted
for in the fact that she is the only county
in the sisterhood with city of any con-
siderable Clermont Courier.
