Plumbing.

This winter has fully demon
strated the fact that every house
builder and contractor should have
a thorough knowledge Of the fun
damental principles Of plumbing.

expense could be avoided in prop

many persons in this city have
been seriously Inconvenience by

days having the wat entirely Cut

be confined to the builder and con-

should be intelligently informed on
how to act in case Of leak or
other Casualty until the plumber
could arrive.

Needs Fixing Badly.

We most earnestly call the at
tention of the City Council to the
sidewalk on the northeast corner
of Main and St. Clair streets.
around the drug store Of Holmes &
Baird. a sidewalk more used than
any other one in the city, and
while good pavements are the eX-
ception in Frankfort, considering
the locality. this is about the
worst.
II am surprised that the capital
Of the State should have no better
sidewalks y is the almost universal
observation Of visitors. and it is
simply a disgrace that those we
have are no better; and more so,
that in many places there are none
at all.

to consult on each subject as
many authorities as possible.
Intellectually, Of course. the work
of the club is summed in that of
the sections, but beyond this each
member feels the necessity Of some
social organization in the Capital
Of the State which will sooner or
later receive and entertain guests
and strangers. AS a whole the
clubs desire is to elevate the
mental standard Of its women, its
ambition to see Frankfort the
cleanest and prettiest town in
Kentucky. Its dream in the future
to have a club room and library
and to assist in building hospital.
1t is scarcely necessary to add
that the club as a body is thor
oughly conservative-religious and
political discussions being fobidden
by the constitution.

The County Schools.

Mrs. Editor:
The public schools Of Franklin
county have nearly all Of them
closed, but in several districts a
"spring term" Of from three to
four months will be taught this
year. l take pleasure in saying
that the schools are improving
in every respect and the causes
that led to this result are, we have
had better support from parents
and trustees, better qualified
teachers. better houses and most
Of them properly furnished.
Many Of our districts are levy.
ing taxes on themselves, and
although there is still some strong
opposition in almost every district,
the masses are in favor Of good
houses, good furniture. expert
enced teachers and are willing to
pay for them. A number Of dis
tricts, perhaps one-third in the
county. have provided themselves
with maps, charts, globes. &c.,
showing that they understand that
a good workm IN must have his
own tools.
We have small teachers libra
ry" and our teachers use it. They
are beginning to realize the fact that
they must qualify themselves bet
ter for their work or quit the pro-
fession and the most of them are
using every opportunity to i'm
prove and keep abreast with the
times.
Our trustees and patrons are
becoming more interested. the
people are seeing the need Of
good and honorable men for their
trustees. men that will manifest
more interest in tn: education Of
the children they have sworn to
protect, than to the financial
interest Of the teacher.
Some Of our colored schools
have made considerab'e progress,
many of the te ,chers have attended
the Frankfort Normal Co lege one
or more terms, and are doing good
work.
Very respectfully,
LUCY PATTIE,
County Superintendent.

Kentucky Penitentiary.

At one time in the history o.
the Kentucky penitentiary, "Al
hope abandoned. we who enter
here" would have been an appro
pirate inscription above its portal
but things have changed. Female
prisoners are no more seen dressed
in ill-6tting male attire and work
ing with men in the death-dealing
hemp factory, but properly clothed
and at work in comfortable quar-
tiers of their own. Numerous
agencies are at work for the physi-
cal. moral and spiritual welfare OF
the convicts and it is very evident
that the present system, where
kindness. Christian charity AID
forbearance is the rule instead Of
brute force. improved conditions
have been the result all along the
line. For many years the inmates
Of the State prison had no sort of
religious instruction, and to the
late DR.. Willis Green is due the
honor Of being the first to begin
missionary work in that institution.
He had ups and downs. and the
downs had a large majority before
he succeeded in breaking down
the adamantine wall Of prejudice
that barred his entrance. but
courage, perseverance and firm
belief that his cause was just and
that he was on the Lords side
prevailed and for years he went
daily to visit the sick, to tell them
of Saviour's love; he also taught
many a poor fellow to read. His
friends regretted that he did not
live to see the time when Christian
teachers are allowed to come and

ed that this reserve should degen-
crate into secrecy. tn erefore when
the enterprising managers Of the
Woman's Edition of the RoUNDA-
BOUT asked for a brief resume Of
the clubs history. constitution and
aims, it was felt that it would be
inexpedient, as we'll as ungracious,
to refuse. The club was organized
on the cad of September. 1894,
with membership Of 40, which
has since grown to 50. the
limit fxe by the constitution, but
which, on the first revision Of the
constitution, will probably be
raised to 90 or 70.
The problem, how to obtain
the dignity, weight and energy

ship gives and at the same time
preserve the vital Individual inter
est and responsibility, has. it is
hoped, been solved by the division
in four sections-"Arta and Music"
"Current Events" Economies"
Literature.
These sections form their own
bylaws. select their own officers
and course of study. but are in
every sense bound by the consti-
tuition, and are subsidiary to the
general club. The general club
meets monthly, receives reports
from the sections, and enjoys

sive study of Art was adopted.

attempts to become intelligently

member is special reportsr-two
on domestic and two on foreign
news. two on art" one on
"Hypnotism." one on Woman"
one ON Magazines" and one on
the "Napoleonic Movement.
This enables it to receive FIVE re-
ports at each meeting, and gives
each member two weeks in which
to prepare them.
The section on Economics has
decided to seek no regular practi-
cal work for the present. They
are studying the elements of
Political Economy and will follow
it with course Of domestic
and municipal hygiene. One
prominent physician has already
lectured before them and others
will follow.
The section on Literature has
also decided on preparatory
course. They are studying those
ages that saw the birth Of modern
thought and institutions, in the
clash and fusion Of perfected and
decaying classic civilization. with

THE ANNAPOLIS CADETSHIP
Fifteen Young Gentlemen Took the Examina-

Fifteen Young Gentlemen Took the Examina-
tion at the Normal School Yesterday
Yesterday fifteen applicants presented
themselves at the state normal school to
take the examination for admission to
the Annapolis naval academy. Some time
ago Congressman James McLachlan, who
has the power of appointment, placed
the examination in the hands of Profess
sor J. H. Shultz. Professor L. G.. Brown
and DR.. j. H. Davidson, the latter to
make the necessary medical examina-
tion of the successful applicant.
Yesterday each boy drew a card from a
hat. The card contained number and
the signature of Mr.. McLachlan, and he
used number instead of his name. AS
soon as it is learned which number has
the highest percentage the number will
be advertised, and the young gentleman
having the card with the corresponding
number will present himself and claim
the prize. This course was adopted by
Mr.. McLachlan for two reasons. In the
first place the examiners will not know
the candidates and no favoritism can be
shown, and those who fail will not be hu-
inflated by having their names made
public.
The examinations consist of geography,
grammar, United States history and alge-
bra, an the appointment includes four
years naval aiming at Annapolis and
subsequenr commission in the navy.

the committee not being able this week to
arrange for another hall of larger dimen
sions, as had been contemplated. A
pleasant communication was received yes
terday from Charles Cassasa with refer
ence to the presence OF his band at the
Fiesta.
The following incident in the life OF
Miss Fleming, the contralto soloist OF the
concerts, is told by the New York Re-
corder: Some weeks ago girlish-look-
ing young woman was introduced to
Theodore Thomas as an ambitious con-
tralto. Mr. Thomas resigned himself,
hear her sing The Lost Chord When she
had finished he exclaimed. My child. you
have q gift from heavenP With Mr..
Thomas this was not flippant eomplli-
ment. in the spirit of flattery, for Mr..
Thomas is not built that way. He took
the young woman out with him on his
Western concert tour as the associate OF
Campanini and Joseffy. Miss Katherine
Fleming is Western girl. She came all
the way from Los Angeles to conquer New
York. Her first engagement was as con-
tralto in the Madison Avenue Baptist

executed and the button will be on sale at
bookstores for moderate price. 1t is a
bronze button the size of quarter OF a
dollar, containing representation OF the
California emblem, grizzly bear. Bruin

the Fiesta coloos, while he courteously
touches silver sombrero which rests
upon his head in somewhat rakish
fashion. The words LA Fiesta de Los
Angeles are engraved around the rim
The button is. a neat and original concep-
tion, and makes a cheap but handsome e
souvenir. 1t is the only official button of
the Fiesta. and the proceeds from it's sale
will go into the Fiesta fund. less the cos t

Fiesta the Burbank Theater Company do

MIR. J. S. Salkey by those who wish to
avail themselves of this opportunity for
adding to the Fiesta revenues.
The army of school cadets grew yester-
day by the addition of several new COM
panies. Committees are now at work de-
vising insignias for the officers of the
! companies and plans for securing uni
form appearance. During the coming
week it is expected that many new COM
panies will be ustcred in.
The committee on secret societies yes
terday received a communication from
the Covina Lodge of A. 0. U. W. an
nouncing that it would participate in the
Fiesta parade; also from the Redlands
cation. The Knights of Pythias OF San
Pedro and the L. o. o. F. Of Downey will
take part. The committee has been in
formed that the Los Angeles Courts of
! l. o. o. f. are arranging to turn out in
strength for the parade, and that the
Locomotive Engineers and Flremen Will
also have large representation.
The advisory board, at it's meeting last
night, adopted the following resolutions:
