The society has had some sad experiences
with it's culinary exhibits in the past At
these exhibits premiums were given for the
best-cooked turkey, chicken, roasts, pies,
buildings and toothsome things In general.
When the premiums were all awarded the
society set itself to the pleasant task Of
eating up the exhibit. In order TO assist
them in this part of the programme the
members invited all their friends and the
public in general. knowing a good thing
when it came their way, attended in large
numbers 1T finally became 50 that the la
dies who did all the cooking and waiting
on table found nothing left for themselves
to eat and then they declared that never
more would they compete for premiums. So
the masculine members of the society did
some thinking and also some talking, and
now the culinary exhibit will be q strictly
invitational affair. The next exhibit will be
on the second Saturday in February. and
admission will be by ticket only.

JOHN L. REAGAN, ASSIGNEE,
Succeeds Mr.. Mckee-The Krag-Rey.
nOtds Inventory.

John L. Reagan has been appointed to
succeed Edward l.. Mckee, assignee of the
affairs of the Krag- Reynolds Company. Mr.
Mckee resigned in the Circuit Court Fri
day. Mr.. Reagan will give bond on Mon
day. All of the attorneys In the litigation
are satisfied with the appointment. The
new assignee has had considerable expert
ence in the wholesale grocery business, and
is at present employed in the capacity of
bookkeeper at the wholesale establishment
of John l.. Moore, on South Meridian
street
The resignation of Mr.. Mckee as as
signee and the appointment of a successor
does not interfere with the action of the Su-
perior Court in selecting receiver for the
company al the request of creditors. Da-
vid w Coffin was named in that capacity
last week, and is at present engaged in
taking an inventory of the stock, after
which an appraisement will be made and
assignee is an officer of the Circuit Court.
IT will be his duty, after an investigation,
to attack the mortgages filed by the Krag-
Reynolds Company, If he finds such a step
necessary in the interest OF the creditors.
In the event the mortgages are set aside
the assignee will distribute the assets UNI
der the direction of the court.

hope that the Supreme Court VIII uphold its
constitutiOnaIity.'
Mr.. Hert says that the institution has been
run on smaller per capita cost during
the last two years than ever before. The
per capita for the last year was $11330 and
Tor the preceding year $l02S2, making the
average for the two years $l08.06. This is
the gross cost, the amount in the aggregate
for the last year being little over $50 coo.
The earnings for the institution aggregated
$4,000. The appropriation for. the year was
$56,100, which amount was based on popu-
lation of $50, but owing to the changing of
the character of the institution from that of
a prison to a reforlnatory the number of
prisoners is on the increase and now num-
bers $40. The administration expenses for
the last year We're $50 900, which paid
out of the earnings, and the net cost of the
Reformatory to the State for the year was
about $4,000.
The board of directors last week leased
PA acres northwest of the prison, which will
be cultivated by the prisoners. No products,
however, will be sold, everything that is
raised being intended for the institution.
1t is thought that this farm will result in a
large saving In the cost of maintenance.

IT REFORMS CONVlCTS.
Warden Hert Believes in Indetermi-
nate Sentence Lave.

a. T. Hert, superintendent of the Reform
atory at Jacksonville. was in the city for a
while yesterday on business connected with
the institution. Mr.. Hert says that ex-
perience is demonstrating the fact that the
indeterminate sentence law is one Of the
most sanitary reform measures ever adopted
by the Legislature. 1t is not only disciplin-
airy in its effects, but works a permanent
good to the convict.
"A criminal" says he, lis really sufferer
from disease. and when proper mental and
other influences are brought 10 bear upon
him he may in many cases be cured, but the
only persons that are at all competent to
judge when that cure is effected are the men
who have charge of him while in confine-
ment. The case of criminal is similar to
that of an insane person. Suppose some
one should argue that the commissioners
who adjudge people to be insane should have
the right to fix the term of confinement for
the patient. The absurdity of such an ar
gument is manifest. Ii is the same with a
jury fixing the term of imprisonment has
no means of knowing how long an incarcera-
ton will be necessary in order to eradicate
the criminal tendencies of the convicted
criminal. When the physicians Of a hospital
for the insane find that a patient is suffi-
GENTLY recovered TO permit of his liberty
being restored TO him he Is released, and not
before. The indeterminate sentence applies
the same principle TO the criminal. He is not
allowed his liberty until the prison authort-
ties have good grounds for believing that IL
will be safe 10 let him loose again in So

the year seventy-five men. and with two ex-

Judge Harvey's Kindness Towards
Fair Divorces in His Court.
Judge Harvey of the Superior Court, has
made a ruling that should increase the
popularity of his court among young wives
who seek to be divorced from uncongenial
husbands. The court has won the everlast-
ing gratitude of one fair plaintiff by his
decision on the question of age. 1t was in

Karcher'S blue eyes flashed look of graft
tude on the court as she proceeded to speak
of her marital unhappiness. Karcher
charged his wife with being dirty
housekeeper. He said she would let the
table dishes accumulate without washing
and failed to keep her children In proper
condition. He also complained that she
practiced bicycle riding in their front
room" and when they kept servant girl,
he said, both his wife and the girl would
devote part of their time to riding the
wheel about the house. Judge Harvey, aft

thought divorce should be granted. A
property settlement must be made between
the Karchers before the decree of divorce
will be entered.
