Recently the state board Of charities
and reform has been giving the differ
ent institutions considerable personal
attention, making visits to Evanston
and Rock Springs for the purpose. In
conversation with the editor of The Re-
publican the other day, Gov. Richards
stated that the asylum and the state
penitentiary were now running in ap-
pie pie order. The asylum is a little
Over-crowded and additions will have
to be made to remedy this evil. From
the penitentiary not a single complaint
has been received since Mr.. N. D. Nc
Donald was installed as warden. The
board has been receiving reports from
that institution almost weekly and has
management under Lessee Boswell and
the present warden. There is only one
thing to be regretted, and that is the
fact that the number of inmates is con-
stantly being augmented, showing
either that violations of the law are on
the increase or that the laws are being
more strictly enforced Throughout the
state.
HencefOrth all insane persons from
the districts presided over by Judges
Stotts. Scott and Bramel will be taken
to the asylum by a trained guard from
that institution. Judge Knight has not
as yet expressed his intention in the
matter. but it is probable that he will
also acGu.osCe in the change, as it will
be a great saving to the state, and at
the sam" time q person used to hand
ling the insane will be in charge. The
board is also Of the opinion that this
same method would work very salts
factorily with convicts for the peni-
Tertiary. By handling the tr%ansporta-
! O. OF the insane and prisoners in this
way a saving in railroad fare could be
made which would amount to quite a
large sun during a year. It is the idea
OF the governor to procure for the diff
ferent state institutions mileage books
upon which the deputies could ride and
take their charges as well.

Mr.. Anthony Hope Hawkins, the
author Of "The Prisoner of Zenda,"
proves. on the closer acquaintance
which his visit to this country is now
yielding, no less attractive as a nan
than as a writer. His public readings
from his w works seem to give his
large audiences the highest satisfac-
ton: and in the busy course Of friendly
dining through which he has been put
since he landed he has shown himself
guests of honor.
Mr.. Hawkins is now "a years old. He
began life as a lawyer, and in 1892 he
made a vigorous but unsuccessful can-
vass for a liberal seat in parliament.
While waiting for clients he began to
write stories. He made his way but
slowly at first; he had been writing
four or five years before he achieved a
pronounced success in THE Prison Of
Zenda." THE Dolly Dialogues fol-
lowed and confirmed his popularity. 1t
is an interesting fact that while he is
visiting in this country an American
magazine will begin publication OF a
sequel to the story which was his great
success. McClure's Magazine for De-
cember will contain the opening chap
ters Of Rupert Of Hentzau." a new
Zenda novel which continues the his
tory Of the love and adventures of Ru-
dolf Rassendyll and Princess Flavia.
They were extremely engaging people
as they presented themselves in THE
Prisonr of Zenda;" but those who have
had the privilege of reading the new
story say that they are still lore en-
gaging in it. and that the series of ad-
ventures through which 1t carries them
is n to keep readers sitting up all
night. The story has been illustrated
for McClure's by the authors personal
friend. Charles Dana Gibson.
CHRISTMAS WITH AN EMPEROR.

Nagel o Brave. an attache Of the
court, who was permitted to be present
at the celebration last Christmas in or

SOUTH-SIDE MARKET SQUHBBLE
An Exciting Meeting Last Night Near
Fountain Square.

In some of the South Side wards there is
considerable indignation at the action of ten
Democratic councilmen in signing petition
asking the Board of Public Works TO pur-
chase the site at the corner of Virginia
avenue and Buchanan street for the South
Side market instead of the Shelby-street
site, in close proximity to Fountain Square
regarded as the pivotal point of the south
east section of the city. This indignation
found some rather forcible expressions at a
mass meeting held at Moh's Hall, just off
Fountain Square, last night when it is
claimed Councilman Frank Clark and allies
tried to capture the meeting and turn ii
into an expression for the BuchanaH-street
site. William Beatty acted as the informal
chairman of the meeting. a committee was
appointed TO draft resolutions asking the
Board of Public Works and the Council TO
rescind the action already taken and citing
reasons why the Shelby-street site should
be purchased by the city III preference TO
the other. After the committee retired
there was considerable confusion. Clark
attempted to turn the tide OF sentiment in
the other direction with comparatively poor
success. Heated arguments We're INDUCED
in. After time the citizens who had gain
cred TO discuss plans to have the Shelby
street site selected withdrew to another
hall after the lights were turned out. They
were not further molested. Resolutions
were adopted setting forth the reasons why
the Shelby-street site should be chosen
IL was pointed out that most OF the res
idents of the South Side who live north OF
McCarty street do not care for South Side
market. but patroniZA the central market
The patrons of the new market would come
largely from the territory east of and south
of Fountain Square. Tie progress of
building and improving is east and south OF
the square. Then il is remarked that the
city would save several thousand dollars
by not buying the Buchanan-street site, the
ground alone of which II is estimated will
cost SIS 600. If the South Side foundry prop
erty were bought. IL can be purchased for
about 5000 The buildings on il are worth
less for market purposes. but the real
estate alone is $4,000 cheaper. If the Old
street car stables were bought they could
be remodeled. fitted out with skylights, ce-
ment floors and whitewashed and deodor-
lied so that no trace of the purpose for
which they were used in the past would
ist 1t is said that if this plan were pur-
sued the city would be saved a considerable
sum of money.
Copies Of the resolutions adopted last
night, together with a petition containing
some 900 signatures. will be presented to
the Board OF Public Works tomorrow
morning and TO the Council tomorrow
night In all proba biities. however the
Council will pass the ordinance providing
for the purchase of the Buchanan Virginia
avenue Site which has already been intro
duced. as most of the Democratic council
men have petitioned the board 10 take this
action.

OSCAR GARDNER BEsTED.
SOIly Smith Awarded the Decision in
the Twentieth Round

NEW YORK. March 13.-Solly Smith, of
Los Angeles, and Oscar Gardner. of Kansas
City, fought out their grudge tonight at
the broadway Athletic Club in a twenty
round bout at 10 pounds. Both weighed
in under the limit. but neither of them for
got his long pent-up animosity. These two
met in Buffalo in 1894. and then Smith lost
on foul, but tonight he demonstrated to
the satisfaction of everybody that he was
Gardeners superior in ring tactics and a
harder puncher. The battle was not uneven
until the eighth round, when Smith shot his
right hard on the chest and sent Oscar to
the floor From that time on Soly rushed
the fighting. crowding Gardner to the ropes
and Furnishing him severely. In the seven
teenth, Soly sent Gardner to the floor with
a right on the neck. In the eighteenth Soily
swung hard left on the jaw which sent
Gardner TO the floor. Solly then jabbed left
on the face and upper cut with the right on
the neck. which made Gardner clinch for
safety. AT the end of the bout Gardner was
still fighting, though his inferiority had
been clearly shown.
