Statistics From Joliet.

Some interesting statistics are re-
produced by an exchange from the
Terre Haute Gazette. in regard to the
inmates OF the Illinois state peniten-
tiary. at Joliet. We learn from them
that the number of illiterates is very
small, only So. OF total of ,3l9 con-
vfcts, 50 have common school edu-
cation, aud 80 a high school or cOllegi-
ate education. AS to habits in the use
of Intoxicating l'quors, 21l had been
intem perate. 162 had used intoxicauts
moderately, 80 had been to al abstain
ers. From these figures it would seem
that it was neither illiteracy nor in
temperance that brought these con-
victs to the Joliet penitentiary. Nor
does it appear that the want of some
sort of a religious belief was the caus c
of their becoming inmates of the pris-
on, for Of the entire numb Der only ZIG,
or 16.4l per cent were without relig-
ious training, or at least pre-
ed by the warden, showing the
religious belief of the prisoners is as
follows: No church, PIC; Baptist, 12l
Christian, Ii: Congregational, IL; Dur
kard, ,; Episcopal, -: Friends, }:
Jewish. %: Lutheran, So: Methodist,
200: Presbyterian, a: Roman Catholic,
SOP: Swedenborg. |: United Brethren,
:: Universalist, ;.
As to the nationality of the 'convicts,
the number credited to the United
States is go, though what proportion
of these were born of foreign parents
is not stated. The next in order are
the Germans, 2lj: and Ireland ranks
next with 81, though the population in
Illinois of the former Is three times as
large as that of the latter. Italy. with
a population of little over 5000 has
~ convicts, while Sweden and Norway,
with population OF liz 200 have only
20 representatives. France, wi h about
the same population as Italy, has only

Two Fools Well Matched

William Robertson, was married to
Miss Cynthia Kenna, a beautiful Hill
CITY belle, suburb Of Chattanooga.
The ceremony took place in the basket
of a balloon ard as soon as the preach
err spoke the words that made them man
and wife, the ropes were cut and the
couple started on bridal tour
through midair.
a sin breeze was blowing and when
the balloon had assembled over the
Tennessee river, the woman became
frightened and jumped out at d height
of about 100 feet. She was quickly res
cued by bystanders in "a boat. Inc
groom assembled distance of 900 feet
when he safely made the descent with
his parachute. After the bride had
changed her wet garments in a nearby
boathouse, the couple held "a public re-
ception in the Riverview Pavilion.

SccDud Freshman Race.

The Cornell. COlum bia and PcDnsyl-
vania freshmen held their race last
evening on the Hudson opposite POugh-
lSecpsie and did remarkably well. The
course was two miles "a in the previous
freshman race. The contest was much
closer and more exciting than the y ale
Harvard-Cornell freshman race, be-
cause the boats were punched all the
way down the course, and it was any
body's game until the last quarter of d
mile.
Cornell under the inspiration Of the
victory Of their university crew on Fri
day, and three days careful coaching
from Courtney, were in excellent trim.
and after Il desperate struggle crossed
the finish first in 9:2l. The Colum bia
freshmen were only three-quarters of d
length behind in 9:222, and Pennsyl-
vania third in 9:23 or about one
third of leughth .hind COlumbi
The times altogether were better
than in the previous freshman race
which was won by Yale in 9:l9!. with
Harvard second in 1924, and Cornell
third in 1929. The Columbia fresh
men put up a fine article of fight, which
they were able to do, having more
than once shown their university crew
a clean pair of heels; and had the race
been half mile longer would no doubt
have won. All the conditions We're
favora BILE to good time. A large crowd
witnessed the race.

The SOmhrnIO Girl.

The sombrero girl has appeared in
Kansas City and says. the star has
attracted the attention which the nov
city If her attire merits. She walked
down Main street Saturday afternoon.
Her hat was the genuine Mexican arti-
Gle, the same as is worn by the vague
ros. 1t has wide brim and the crown
receded to a sharp cone shaped point
at the top. The som brerO has been in
troduced in eastern cities by the bicy-
Gle girl and its sensibltness is admit
ted. 1t is not heavy, as it is made OF
straw, but its wide brim shades the
face and prevents the sun burn which
the cyclist breads so much. 1t will
probably become quite popular in Kan
SaS CITY.

AI.iZoua'S Growth.

While the peOple of the east are
complaining, and with much reason, of
hard times and the general depression
of business, we of Arizona can congrat-
ulaoe ourselves on Il season OF genuine
prosperity based upon the development
OF our own resources. From every side
comes the report Of increasing business
in cattle raising, in mining, agrlcul-
ture, horticulture, etc, and the best
proof that it is permanent lies in the
fact that the railroad corporations.
having an eye on the futuee and ready
to grasp every opportunity to extend
their lines into new and promising
fields, are about to extend line from
the present terminus OF the ella Valley
road to Globe, which will connect with
another branch from Phoenix to the
same point. Also from Kingman, on
the Atlantic " Pacific. to the White
Hills mining district and other points
north of the Colorado.
The cattlemen throughout the couu-
try are simply independent; instead OF
seeking buyers at rulnOusly low figures,
as was the case few years ago, they
are now receiving good prices for all
the cattle they can be persuaded to
sell.
There is ma ked revival in mining,
in all its branches, throug hout the
territory. Although the price OF sill
yer is 80 low that only very high CRAZE
ore extracted al the minimum cost can
be made profitable, yet there are many
claims being worked, particularly in
this district, by chIoriders, with fair
profit.
Taking everything together we have
no kick coming on account OF hard
times. aud when we compare our con-
ditious with that of the eastern states,
we have every reason to congratulate
our selves -Prospe ctOr.
