NO CONVICT COMPETITION.
McDonough Would Have Prisoners
LO Only state Work.

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. 25.-At the
morning session of the Constitutional
Convention to-day. Mr. McDonough con-
tinued his remarks in favor Of his
amendment abolishing prison labor COM
petition, but keeping the prisoners at
work.
He explained that the labor orgsniza-
lions had not asked that the prisoners
be kept idle. They could make good
roads, build canals or do other State
work. All that they wanted was that
the products of the prison should not be
put on the market to compete with the
honest labor outside.
He showed by figures that the best of
goods could be produced at one-half the
cost of outside manufacture by prisoners,
into consideration. No money was now
being made out OF prison labor.
He said his measure allowed the farm
ing out of prison Labor for State or
municipal work. He called attention to
the New York Penitentiary, where the
prisoners were kept very busy providing
goods for the various departments Of
charities
Mr. Pillsbury, the Superintendent, had
said that II he was the State Superin-
tendent of Prisons he could keep all the
prisoners in the State employed making
goods for the prisons and other State
Institutions and do 1t with profit to the
State.
Mr.. McDonough appealed to the mem.
bers to consider that they were acting
In n humane cause II they passed this
amendment.

The unusual prevalence Of ghosts, the
actually Of which is being asserted in
affidavits on the one baud, and Is re-
ceiving the attention of leading sci
entists and odubters on the other, and
the consequent discussion OF the sub
ject. has given a lively interest to the
Summer season, usually so quiet.
Ghosts are being hunted on every
side. Some are laid, and some. it Is al
legged, are still stalking their chosen
paths and like Banquo's, will not down.
Haunted houses are getting 80 common
that the announcement Of the discovery
of another hardly creates u ripple now.
But the story OF the haunted house once
occupied by ex-Congressman Archie Bliss
in Brooklyn. at Myrtle and Lewis ave-
nues, is interesting because the appari-
tions that have frightened timid school,
girls, and have manipulated vanishing
lights In the windows Of the deserted
mansion O. nights. have been materiaiized
BY a member of that most materia.istic
Of guilds, the Brooklyn police force.
Moreover, a materialistic police justice,
sitting in the Lee Avenue Court. has
decreed that the rhosts-there were two
of these supernatural creatures-shall be
held for trial as common Migrants.
They are Emanuel Baumann and
Henry Knierling. who confess that, like
all ghosts, they have no earthly homes.
They were caught in the Bliss house
last night. They had used flour sacks
for their ghostly apparel and had been
living In ETHEREAL bliss in BLISS old
house for a whole month.

STRIKE MAY SOON END.
Grape Believes That Labor Day
VIII Sec the Last of II.

(By Associated Prcss)
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 25.-
The great strike here will be ended In
the course of a week. II the statement
OF w. w. Grape amounts to aught.
Mr. Grape said that he looked for
speedy adjustment of the trouble, and
when pressed for a definite reply, said
he thought that after Labor Day the
end OF the fight would be in view.
He stated further that he believed
the manufacturers were In fault, for the
nlnslnsr tH WHICH they had post, y
the reduction. He thought they should
have given the operatives at least two
weeks' notice, and also stated definitely
the amount OF the reduction.
He also practically admitted that the
pound system of payment adopted by
the manufacturers, in order to avoid
the particulars in the law, was a fall
ure 40 far and his statement was
borne ont yesterday when the wam-
sutta laborers were paid Off. for all the
wcavers found upon opening their en-
velopes that they were paid the cut.
This IL due to the fact that the man
ufacturers found that after making up
the pay-rolls the wages were increased
~ per cent. by the pound system.
He said he could propose no scheme
by which the strike could be termi-
mated. but was satisfied that employ
ment must be given the 1900 operatives
II cr.me and lawlessness was to be
avoided.
