A State Inspection in Georgia Reveals
Mnny instances of NJ Treatment.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 2t.-The report of
Phil. G. 3yrd, special inspector OF con
Wet camps, was f. led with the State gov
eminent to day. 1t reveals a series of
abuses and inhuman treatment, .particu
larly in some OF the private camps.
The brutality in several cases amount
ed to murder and i'll others to positive
torture. In one case il appears thar II
murder IN Pulaski county was hushed up
by the grand jury because of influence,
though reputable citizen appeared and
swore he saw II convict beaten to death.
Nearly all the abuses, both of cruelty
and fragrant disregard of.sanitary,provis-
ions, occurred in private camps, where
misJemeanor convicts were leased to in
dividuals in violation of law. OF 1,1Q2
misdcmeanor ronvicts about 400 are thus
hired.
The morality in private camps is 10 in
an average of $50 inmates. In public
camps.it is 23 in an'average total of ,O10.
The.death rate is therefore, about double
in the private camps. In one of them it
was 25 per cent. ess~
In concluding his report Mr.. Byrd
says: "God only knows how badly the
misdemeancr convict camps of Georgia
need rescue 1t is worse than Siberia. :"
The law requiring II daily record of
conduct of each convict rs basis for the
time allowance of four days n month 10
entirely ignored. In the East Macon
camp thirty negroes and one white CON
vct sleep chained together in close, uu.
ventilated room only ID by II feet, with
windows nailed up. In the Glinn county
camp at his first visit Mr.. Byrd found
forty-siN negro males and fifteen white
males sleeping in a room nineteen feet
square and less than eighteen feet high

EDWARD JErER. REPORTER.

Miss Lila Ballard left yesterday to visit
friends in Pulaski.
The squib in yesterdays Salem column
Of The Times concerning the Roanoke
county farmers and the rise of wheat,
seems to have evoked some comment
from our friends and neighbovs. Now
mark the prediction--if wheat continues
at 81 . bushel, or goes higher, which it
will probably do, it will not be long I'M
til flour will also take rise. With
work no more plentiful and wages no
higher, won't it be still harder for the
working mau and laborer to buy bread:
What the whole world needs is more
money, or conditions that will put the
money already coined into circulation.
This will never be accomplished as long
as money (gold) increases in value in
bank vaults and in the pockets of the rich
or used for speculation purposes only and
men get cheaper. The money problem is
the greatest living issue of the age. In
the words of c. a. Towue, Of Minnesota,
t"The money question, like Banquo's
ghosu. will not down. ..Avaunt and quit,
my sight will not Danish it,"

''Ihere was chorus of dissent, and
one of the sailors struck the brute over
the head with the blade of an oar, while
another pulled his sheath knife.
Don't hurt him., said the captain
kindly, but firmly.
"'Order him away, then, growled
several of the men. He will swamp us
all.
"The captain hesitated a minute,
waved his arm in the air and said,
Back, Prince!' and the faithful brute
swan back in the direction in which
the vessel had disappeared beneath the
surface. Where do you find such pathos
in the sea business now? Give me the

MISS PARLOA ON SOUPS.


The French HOusekeepers Way of Making
Them Described In Lecture.
Economy is the watchword of the
French people," said Miss Parloa in her
talk upon the characteristics of French
cookery at the New York Young Wom-
ans Christian association, "and the
French housekeeper, no matter how
simple the dish, excels in the making of
it. The market prices are much higher
In France than here, butter and sugar
costing more than as much again. One
may buy half lemon or part of a car
rot, and it is not thought unusual, and
only a sufficient quantity is purchased to
supply each meal, and an unexpected
guest is never provided for"
Miss Parloa added that roasting and
broiling are hardly known among
the working classes, and pastry is
made only in the kitchens of the very
wealthy. An American housewife may
take the lead in the making of dainty
and fancy desserts, but to a French
woman the making of soups and sauces
is the most important part of the cook
cry.
The following simple soup is said to
be savory and delicious: Put 3 table
spoonfuls of butter or meat fat in a soup
kettle and pour over it quarts of wa
ter. Let it cook 10 minutes before add
ing pint of potatoe cut into cubes
and s leeks washed and sliced thin.
Add teaspoonful of salt and one-third
of pepper and allow this to cook very
slowly one hour. Break slices of stale
bread into pieces and put in the soup
tureen, and turn the soup over it when
cooked the required length of time.
A French vegetable soup is made thus:
Cut large onion into thin slices and
put them in pan with tablespoonfuls
of butter. Let them. simmer together
half an hour and add quarts of water.
Have prepared pint of white turnips
cut into cubes. the same amount of po-
tatoes, half pint of carrots, half pint
of the white part of the leek cut into
thin slices Add Glove of garlic, an
eschalot. teaspoonful of sugar, one
third of a teaspoonful of pepper and salt
and cook slowly an hour, adding some
chopped parsley Is minutes before the
soup is removed from the fire. This soup
may also be used for vegetable puree
by pressing it through coarse sieve,
and to a pint of the thick soup add a
pint of boiling milk.
A paste for thickening sauces is kept
at hand for constant use. Here is the
way to make one that will keep a long
time: Cut equal amounts of beef, veal
and pork suet in small pieces. Put them
in kettle with very little water and
slowly render. Turn off the first fat,
and when very hot stir in flour until it
forms a thick paste-about a pint of
flour to pint of liquid fat. Put these
into graniteware vessel and place in
an oven and cook three to four hours
Keep in glass jars covered.

A Norwegian Nightingale.

Frau Eva Nansen, the wife of the
famous explorer, is a great traveller in
her own way. Now that her husband is
safe and sound at home, says the Kleine
Zeitung, she is about to set forth upon
one of her long musical tours through
Sweden, Finland and the cold north.
She is one of the most accomplished Of
Scandinavian soprano songstresses, and
one night recently arrived at Stock
holm, where she sang before a crowded
audience in the Festsaal of the Acade-
my of Arts. King Oscar was present,
and after the concert invited the Nor
wegian nightingale to supper with him

TEN BEST SHORT POEMS SELECTED
BY THE NEW YORK SUM-.

Charles A. Dana, Editor and Lift ateur,
Made the List-Preference Gi a to

ing Representative of the Ten.
Not long since the editor of thNNew
York Sun was asked to name what he
considered to be the ten best kshort
poems in the English language. Mr..
Dana, after giving much thought to
the matter, has settled upon the ten
here given. 1t will be noticed that near
ly all of the poems are old ones:
WHEN IN DISGRACE.
When in disgrace with fortune and men 3 eyes,
] all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bbotless
cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with frieIjs pos
sessed, y
Desiring this mans art and that man g scope,
With what ! most enjoy contented least,
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
HAPPY think on thee, and then my state.
Like to the lark at break of day arising.
From sullen earth, sings hymns at hehven's
gate,
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth
brings
That then scorn to change my state with
kings.

HOHENLINDEN.

On Linden, when the sun was low,
All bloodless lay the untrodden snow,
And dark as winter was the flow
OF Iser, rolling rapidly.
But Linden saw another sight
When the drum beat at dead of night.
Commanding fires of death to light
The darkness of her scenery.
By torch and trumpet fast arrayed,
Each horseman drew his battle blade,
And furious every charger neighed
To join the dreadful revelry.
Then shook the hills with thunder rivpn
Then rushed the steeds to battle driveni
And, louder than the bolts of heaven,
Far flashed the red artillery.
But redder yet those fires shall glow
On Lindens s hills of crimsoned snow,
And bloodier yet shall be the flow
OF Iser, rolling rapidly.
Tis morn, but scarce yon level sun
Can pierce the war clouds, rolling dunj
Where furious Frank and fiery Hun
Shout in their sulphurous canopy.
The combat deepens. On, ye brave,
Who rush to glory or the gravel
Wave, Munichl all thy banners wave,
And charge with all thy chivalryi
Few, few shall part where many meets
The snow shall be their winding sheet,
And every turf beneath their feet
Shall be soldiers sepulchre.

And snowy SUBMITS old in story.

And the wild cataract leaps in glory.

Blow, buglel Answer, echoes, dying, dying

Oh, hark, oh, hear! How thin and clear
And thinner, clearer, further goingl
Oh, sweet and far, from cliff and scar,
The horns of Elf1and family blowingl
Blowl Let us hear the purple glens replyingl
Blow, buglel Answer, echoes, dying, dying

o love, they die in yon rich sky,
They faint on hill or field or riverl
Our echoes roll from soul to soul
And grow forever and forever.

And answer, echoes answer, dying, dying,

ON HIS BLINDNESS.

When consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days in this dark world and
wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodge with me useless, though my soul more
bent
To serve theSewith my maker, and present
My true account lest he returning chide
"Doth God exact day labor, light denied?"
/ fondly ask, but patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies: "God doth not
need
Either mans work or his own gifts; who
best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best; his
state
Is kingly; thousands at his bidding speed
And post DER land and ocean without rest;
They also serve who only stand and wait"
John Milton.
