The women OF the colonies parted with

KENTUCKY DERBY MACS.
Pontus and Plaudit Among the Lead

Louisville. Ky, March 14-Of the ten
Kentucky Derby candidates now at
Churchill Downs, the most observed is
the big chestnut colt with a blaze face
known as POntus in the stable of r.
T.. NJ Porter, and sired by Imp. Whistle
Jacket, out Of Ten Ban.
He easily defeated the best looking Of
the Derby colts at the track. and
though he is regarded as an outsider by
the wise ones, not a few Of the trainers
and stable hands are preparing to put
n small bet on him. Pontus has winter
ed well and widened and broadened and
developed into a SOOd-looking race
horse. As wO-Year-Old he was not
world beater. but he has a consistent
record, and there are not a few who
think he has more than an outside
chance TO land the stake
The recent bright, warm weather has
improved Plaudits appearance very
much. and the brown son of Himyar
seems to be slowly rounding to- though
Il will be some time before he will be
given any hard work. Aside from Pom

State prison have resulted in the discov-
cry by the board of inspectors of series
of scandals. One female. sentenced to
solitary confinement for offending against
the law, finds herself hurrying toward
maternity. and alleges that the response
bility rests upon one of the male convicts,
who was allowed to break the rules and
frequently invaded the women's wing.
In the cell of another female convict
was found a love letter written to her by
