PLAN OF CONVICTS.

To Cperpower the Guards and wreck
the Jute Mill.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 1.-"Shoot the
first man who breaks out of his cell. "
That was the order to the guards at
San Quentin prison. The prisoners
were shrieking like maniacs and rat
Ting and pounding on the iron doors of
their cells. The guards were doubled
and each carried shotgun loaded with
buckshot Two men who were released,
their terms having expired, have told
what the desperate Convicts are plan
ing. According to this story it has
been agreed among the ringleaders that
when they are permitted to return to
work in the jute mill they will make a
sudden rush, kill Engineer Young if
necessary, overpower the guards and
wreck the magnificent plant on which
nearly 81, ,000,0 900 has been spent.
There are 1864 prisoners within the
walls at San QIentin. Over half of
them are in open revolt. Many Of the
others sympathize with the violent
Dnes. Warden Hale says that all the
complaints made by the men are tri-
vial. Director Wilkins declares they
have no real grievance. Prison Sur
geon Lawler says the opium fiends who
have been deprived of the drug are at
the bottom of the trouble.

OVEREDUCATED.
Cultivated Greeks Compelled to Work at
Uncongenial Tasks.

Cultivated Greeks Compelled to Work at
Uncongenial Tasks.
1t is one OF the curious apparent con
tradictions Of the country and the peo-
pie that whereas a large percentage of
the population can neither read nor
write, the bane of the nation is over ed
ucation, says the London Journal in an
article upon the Greeks. The university
and high schools act as magnets, attract
ing all the clever or ambitious youth Of
the country, large, numbers of whom
are duly stamped every year with the
academic seal and turned adrift with
larger demands ON society than their
fathers ever had and less means of sat
isfying them. Hence a considerable
number of young men throughout the
country who can speak several Ian
guages and have acquired large stores
of general or technical knowledge are
forced to earn their bread by means of
uncongenial work. These individuals
are dissatisfied with the established Or
der of things, which makes no special
provision for them, and they gladly
lend their aid to social reformers or
political agitators Of all parties and
professions.
Not that there are any political par
ties in Greece in the sense in which
these exist in most constitutional coun-
tries. Men, not measures, is the uni
versal cry; individual interest is the
line of cleavage. The crowd follows one
of the two lien whose heads are above
those of their fellows. The successful
leader then provides places for the few
who are chosen as well as called, and
high sounding rhetoric for the many,
People change sides from time to time
according to the outlook, and nobody
accuses them of being renegades. In nc
case is there any principle at stake. The
members of the little parliament at Ath
ems receive but a couple of Thousand
drachmas year (roughly speaking, ESQ
from the state, but in some cases thil
constitutes the sole support of the legis
lator's family.

A Cough Remedy.

A troublesome throat irritation or
cough, the result Of a cold, is most an
noying, but a home remedy will re-
lieve and oftentimes cure it without the
aid of other medicines The following
formula was given by physician many
years ago and has been found to be of
great value: Take quarter of pound
of the best gum arabic and pour over it
half a pint of hot water. Cover and
leave it until the gumis dissolved. Then
add a quarter of a pound of pure white
sugar and generous half gill of strain
ed lemon juice. Place these ingredients
over the fire and let them simmer about
ten minutes. Then pour the mixture in
to a bottle and cork. When taking this
sirup, a little water may be added.

Henry aud the girls quickly brought
amps from their rooms and as the thun-
der still continued to roll the lightning
fl ishei ana the rain came down in tor
rents some time was spent In quiet
conversation until the storm abated. A
water spout had burst and the earth
seemed to be literally drenched. Added
to this was the thick darkness Of a cloudy
night FIR the street lights had gone
out. So the girls who did not room
at Brier Hall were kindly invited to
remain there for the night and the boys
started out to wade over the wet walks
and through the dIelched grass to their
respective homes.
Finding that it would be impossible
for them to attend services that Sunday
the day was spent py the girls In reading
writing and resting. The sooisl at Brier

Monday WAS the day set for Ned Alden
to pegiu work at the bank. The day
dawned bright aud fair. The water
having been absorbed by Mother Earth,
left the grass fresh and green. The
trees were now In their Full summer
dress; the robins and birds singing and
chipping, were busy rebuilding what
the storm had spoile for them.
Ned was up bright and early. After
breakfast ne went to his room, looked
over and arranged his books and pagers
putting those he was not likely to use in
the bottom of his trunk and keeping
those he had not finished nearby to
study In his leisure time 1t was now

himself presentable, was ready when
Taylor, the president Of the college,
called for him. Ned could not help feel

and all Of his college friends who were

be chsgrined at his failure. His mother
and father and sisters had written him
encouraging letters, and he felt TOT
that he was quite we'll equipped for th'

Wonderful Experiments In Determining
the Time of Flash of Electricity.
Recent achievements in the moving
photography that has produced the AMI
matograph, biograph, cinematograph
and other representations of motion are
not more wonderful than the lately per-
fectod photography Of the flying bullet.
Professor 9. Vernon Boys, f. Il. s., has
worked on this seemingly unsolvable
problem with great success, as have also
two Italian artillery officers.
In the course of a lecture on the sub
ject, Mr.. Boys demonstrated that the
ordinary notion that an electric spark is
instantaneous was quite erroneous and
stated that the light Of the two ends Of
the ordinary electric spark lasted lit
tie less than the one hundred tbousandth
part of q second. 1t was, Of course, in
Simultaneous to our senses, but to tests
which could measure accurately to the
one-hundred millionth part of second
the electric spark was anything but in
Simultaneous. This spark was no good
for taking the photograph Of a flying
bullet, as the lecturer showed by exhib-
iting one of his attempts, which made
quite blurred picture.
Mr.. Boys then proceeded to explain
the steps which he took in order to re.
duce the length of time of the electric
spark To this end it was essential that
the terminals should be made of copper,
platinum or some metal which did moi
produce readily an ignitible vapor, and
the electric current must not be driver
through wires at all. He used very
thick, broad band of copper, not NOR,
than two inches long, which reached
around the edge of the plate, so that thu
electric current had not more thar
| three or four inches to 90 altogether
He explained by diagrams how he baC
effected his object and shortened tn,
time Of the spark to about one-thirteel
millicnth of second, or about 10I
times quicker than the ordinary flash.
| To give the audience some idea of tn
inifinitesimal fraction of time, he sal,
the time occupied by the spark as re
duced by his apparatus was proportion
ately as much less than second as
second was less than five months, an
during that time bullet fred from
magazine rife could not travel NOR
than one five hundredth part of an incl
BY this simple contrivanCe he was abl
to get brighter and shorter spark an
all that was necessary to make goo
and sharp picture. New York World.

GOLD IN eLEBURNE.
Hunters Find Gold Mines Instead of -Game-some Fellow Will
 Strike It Rich.

Besons Mills, Cleburne County. Jan. 5-(Special correspondence.) Jon leaving the city for a few days hunt our party did not think of getting so far away. and thought also we would have had better success than we have enjoyed. But instead of game, we have run upon something that may be- interesting to your readers.
 While out hunting yesterday we chancsd to stroll near the mouth of Dyne creek, where it empties into the Talla- poosa river, nine miles from Hefiin, and near the residence of Capt A. W. Den man. There we found, to our astonish- r1ent, gold mining in progress. A shaft has been sunk on a mine called Den mans mine, sixty-five feet deep, reveal- ing some of the richest gold quartz I ever saw.
 Near here are two shafts thirty-three feet deep, known as the Andlconde Ka- olin mines, said to be the largest deposit of kaolin in the United States and of the very best quality.
 Along the gold ledge marks have been made in a number of places and about eleven miles south of this is a mine called Indepe ndelce, whieh,7I am informed, is very rich. Three men are working the Independence mine, and four the Den man, and squads of three and four miners are scattered about all over the district. They appear to be miners of experience, and will neither talk nor pay any atten- tion to any one who may happen to come around. There is one thing very evident, there is certainly much gold here and miners have caught on to.tf1e fact and are taking advantage of it and the pub lie need not be surprised to hear any day that some fellow has struck it rich.

THE CONVICT COMMITTEE
Accepted the Courtesy of the Mining Committee and Visit Blue Creek
 and Brookwood.

The general assenbly's convict com mittee accepted the hospitality of the mining committee yesterday and accom- panied them to Blue creek and Brook wood. The committees left the city at S:30 and spent most of the day in an in- spection of the mines. The Adger mine in the Blue creek district which, by the way, is the ideal mine in the state from standpoint, of system and wealth of coal deposits, was the admiration of the com mittees. Contrasted with the little thir- ty-inch seams in the mines which the committees have heretofore visited the splendid eight and ten foot veins of the Adger mine furnished Q revelation. Supt. Hilihouse conducted the party sufficiently far into the mine to enable them to see all of it's workings.
 The Standard company's mine at Brookwood was also inspected.
 The committees are going industriously into the work assigned to them and are not sparing pains, comfort or clothes 10 arrive at the exact condition existing in the mines. They are making a thorough inspection-going far into the mines, see ing and conversing with the men at work, inhaling the air the miners are sur rounded by and finding out exactly how mining matters stand.
 The mining committee will inspect the mines at Blocton today, while the con- vict committee will visit Coalburg.

This eclipses all records.
 An officer of the Rock Island road says that too much importance has been at- tached to the proposition to make a cents per mile passenger rate in Illinois, for since election there has been cer- tain revulsion of feeling in the matter that may at least delay action by the state commission.
