The royal British antiquarian and
archaeological socie les have lodged u
petition with Lord Salisbury protest
ing against the peculiar form of prison
labor in Egypt since the Khedive's
penitentiaries and iails have been
under English management. 1t seems
that the convicts, of whom there are
twelve hundred in the Jourah prison
alone, are employed in manufacturing
bogus antiques, for which there is re-
ported to be a large market, especially
in America. The petitioners declare
that the forgeries are so clever as to
be scarcely distinguishable from the
real article. AS yet only antiques OF
relatively small dimensions have been
produced, but the prison authorities
express. the hope OF being able IN
course of time to turn out full-hedged
mummies and sarcophagi. The scien
tific societies in England point out
with some degree of justice that while
this form of prison labor may have
commercial advantages, it practically
renders the British government {
party to fraud.

man tearing bridge to pieces and
placing it upon wagon" writes the
editor of Nebraska newspaper. "As
the bridge was one that we needed in
our business we asked the ancient
mariner what lie was doing with it,
and, in which case, why so, or words
to that effect. He replied; my eye

many advertisements are painted upon

him that the newspapers contained
more advertisements than the bridges,
and better ones. too; but he said that

ALL SOULS, PARISH.

The annual parish meeting of All
Souls Church was held in the Sunday
school room Monday evening and was
largely attended, there being fully rs
members present. The records of the
last annual meeting were read and ap-
proved, after which the reading of the
collector and treasurer's reports was in
order. These showed the church to
stand upon a firm financial basis, not
withstanding the increased expenses of
last year, incurred by the hiring Of a
pastor at increased salary and the in
creased expenses of the choir. All these
have been met by liberal patronage,
which has largely increased the church
revenue.
The church debt has nearly been
paid by subscription, only small por-
ton Of it remaining over to this pres
ent year. and that being covered by
subscription.
Ten new members were admitted to
the church.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: George Kingston,
president; Henry H. Dyke, clerk; w. r..
Haynes, treasurer; F. o. Bushnell, col
lector; Messrs. j. F. Bicknell, e. F..

ment and petition:
The president of the board of directors

report to the. city government, stated
that the board hoped to establish eight de-

quest was made to the city government

al report since made to the city govern
ment, and the amount needed for the
purpose has been stated
There is at present In the suburbs of the
city unusual interest manifest in having
delivery stations established.
The time seems opportune to move in
the matter The undersigned therefore,
repeat the offer to establish eight deliV-
cry ations in the suburbs of the city,
and urge the city government to appro-
pirate $500 to carry out the carefully
formed plans for giving residents in re-
mote portions of the city ready access to
the books of the public library. The $500
asked for win be needed in addition to the
amount given in the estimates already
handed to the mayor

he would call for. Subsequently the
yeung man was identified as Gorbett.
