Penltentiary Doctor In 1896 BlnCOed
an Old rIan Out of 500, Play
ing On the Death of a Son.
AN ExAr1PLE OF MANY STEALS.

Some time ago Chaplain H. E. Ballou
Of the Kansas penitentiary received a
letter from VIM. H. Shepherd, of Berry
Station, Ala, inquiring about the where
abOuts of DR.. G. A. Morrison, the prison
physician during the Morrill, administra-
tion, and stating that the Doctor had Sc
cured 800 from him to assist in secur-
ing pardon for his son, Claude William
Shepherd, who was convict, and who
died in prison May 26, 1897. Attention
was called to the fact that no pardon
had ever been secured and that the
money had not been returned notwith-
standing promises which were made that
not one cent Of 1t should be used unless
the pardon was secured. Mr.. Shepherd
also stated that he had been compelled
to borrow the money, and that being
poor 1t was great sacrifice, but that he
had wanted his boy who was dying OF
consumption, to have mothers care in
his last days. Mr. Shepherd made an
effort to secure the return Of the money
after his sons death but with the excep-
tiOn Of the receipt Of one letter contain
ing fine assortment of promises, his ef-
forts had resulted in failure. AS evil
dence that he had sent the money he
forwarded to Chaplain BallOu in a letter
dated February Z, 1898, two original let
ters from DR.. Morrison, acknowledging
receipt and promising it's return and two
receipts from the Southern Express
Company showing the issue Of two mon
ey orders November "a, 1896, in DR.. Nor
rison's favor, the orders being numbered
B590903 and B590904.
The story of this transaction, which is
not by any means the only one of the
kind, is best told by the correspondence
which passed between the two parties.
1t started with a letter from Claude
Shepherd (who was also known at his
home as "Willie,") to his father, in
which he told Of his condition and asked
for money to push pardon application.
With this letter Dr. Morrison enclosed
slip on which the following appeared.
Kansas State Penitentiary Pharmacy,

Mr.. Shepherd:-I simply wish to add
to Claude's letter that should you see at
to help him, and think it's your duty
now, will stand between him and loss
OF the money. That Is, Ii the release can
not be obtained no money goes and will
be returned to you. Yours,
G. A. MORRISON.
The elder Shepherd wrote back asking
some questions with view to ascertain
ing more about the reliability Of DIR.

lowing reply:

CONGRESS- DEMOCRATIC
The Democrats Elect Good Majority
of National Representatives

New York, November 9.-Returns
received in the Associated Press Office
in this city from all over the country
up to 1890 o'clock this Wednesday
morning indicate that So republicans
and 100 democrats nave certainly been
elected to seats in the national house
of representatives. The same dis
tricts two years ago returned to the
lower house of congress los republic
cans and 80 democrats. Based solely
on the estimates in these districts a
republican loss of 20 and a democratic
gain Of q is indicated. These estimates
concede to the democrats all the con-
gressional districts in greater New
York except one, the Fifteenth.
Washington, November 9, l a. NJ
Chairman Babcock of the republican
congressional committee has made the
following statement to the Associated
Press: While | am satisfied that the
republicans will control the house of
representatives in the seth congress-,
it is impossible at this hour to indi-
cate what our majority in the house
will be. Thus far we nave no definite
returns from Illinois, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa or Kansas. Ohio has
| elected Is republicans certainly and
two districts seem to be in doubt
From Michigan the returns indicate a
solid republican delegation. Repre-
sentative Hawley is reelected in
Texas. Vincent Boering is reelected
in the Eleventh district. Advices from
Maryland show that we have elected
| four representatives certainly. Nine
| teen members of the delegation from
| New York state and perhaps more will
be republicans. I. F. Fisher, OF the
Fourth New York district, Brooklyn,
is the only member we have elected in
Greater New York. The election of
Cochran in the Nineteenth New York
and of Mahany in the Thirty-second
Buffalo district, is in doubt.
From Pennsylvania we have thus
| far received meagre returns but the
sustained some losses there. Kirkpat-
rick of the Eighth district and Arnold
| of the Twenty-eighth seem to have
| been defeated.
unofficial advices from western
states show that we have more than
held our own and my conviction is that
we shall control the house by a safe
majority, probably not far from the
figures which l gave out last week"

BEANS.
Some Facts OF Interest About a Familiar
Article OF Food.

Most of the beans consumed in this
country are raised in this state, in Can
ada, and in Michigan. Some beans are
coming now from California, and the
California output is increasing. We
import some beans from Europe, the
imports varying, being some years
more and some less. We arc not inn
porting many this year. The ordinary
white bean such as we use for baking
grows on a bush about two feet high,
in q pod somewhat similar TO a pea pod.
The bean is ut first soft and of n green
ish tinge, or greenish white, but it
ripens white and hard in the pod, rs we
see it in the stores. When it is in Just
the right condition the bushes arc
pulled up, or they are sometimes cut
down with a machine something like a
moving machine, and piled up in tho
field to dry. Then the bushes arc
carted to the barns and threshed, and
the beans are gathered up and famed
and screened. They are separated into
sizes by screening, and branded ac-
cordingly.
There are marrow, medium, and pea,
or small, beans. In screening beans
the smaller marrow beans from the
ends of the pods might be branded
mediums, and the smaller mediums
might be branded peas; but the genu-
inc beans of these names are of as dis
tinct varieties as, for instance, the sew.
eral varieties of peas are. Most Of tho
beans raised in this country are sent to
market in barrels; the foreign beans
are imported in bags.
In this country New England is prob.
ably the largest consumer of beans in
proportion to the population, but the
consumption of beans is general every
where throughout the country, and ii
has increased with the growth of popu-
laticn. Beans can be easily trans
ported, and if properly cured they are
not affected by hot climates. New
beans begin to be received in Septem-
ber. In quantity the bean crop of the
current year is not up to the usual pro-
duction. The actual consumption OF
beans is much greater in winter than in
summer. We export some beans to the
West Indies and to South American
countries in some years when there Is
more or less Of failure of their own
crops.
Common an article of food as beans
are in this country, We don't begin to
eat as many as the people in Europe
do. The production there is enormous.
Beans are cheaper there than here, and
the consumption is immensely. Y.

Some Queer Riddles.

There are quite a number of people
who collect musical Instruments. Men
have been known to pay tremendous
prices for violins of rare make, merely
to place these instruments in collections
they are making of such things.
One of the greatest riddles that ever
was known was to be seen at the French
court in the time Of Charles the Ninth.
This was a VOL SO large that several
boys could be placed inside of it. The
boys used to sit inside this queer instru-
ment and sing the airs that the man
who handled The bow was playing on
the viol outside. The effect is said 10
have been very beautiful, though 1t
would seem as if the presence Of the
lads in its interior would seriously in
terfere with the tone of the "great fd-
die" as it was called. Many years
after another huge instrument of this
kind vas used at concerts in Boston. 1t
was so large that to play it the fiddler
had to stand on a table to use his bow
at the proper point on the strings. This
instrument was called the grandfather
of fddles. "-Harper's Young People.

Curing a shirker.

Philadelphia Times: An old civil war
veteran tells a good story Of how a
lazy private in his regiment was cured
of Sinking. 1t appears that the fellow
was utterly no good. He had been
drafted into service and thereafter de-
voted his whole time and attention to
getting out of it. He spent more than
half of his time in the hospital tent.
He ran. the gamut of all the diseases
that flesh is heir to or has acquired
through its own misguided efforts.
Somehow even the severity of military
discipline was adequate to his case;
'shirk he could and would.
One day the regiment was ordered
to battle. There was to be y long,
hard march and n fierce conflict at the
end of it. When the orders came the
shirker collapsed. He was taken off
to an ambulance, where he lay appar-
emily in a comatose condition, hearing
nothing, needing nothing. The sur
geon, a new officer just appointed on
h staff, was sent for to see him. The
physician CHANGED to be a keen witted
man, and after taking in the situation
he bandaged the fellows eyes, mo-
tiontioned to a private to take his feet,
while he himself took the head, and
without more ado dumped the coma
tose shirker head foremost into the
river. AS it was the dead of winter,
with ice blocks clogging the water, a
more violent remedy could not be inn
agined and the way the fellow swan to
shore was a caution. From that day
forth he was never known to try his
game of shirk n gain.

Look to Your Little Finger.

Woman's Home Companion: The
fact that the hand looks shapelier and
more graceful when the middle and
third fingers are slightly curved in and
away from the index and little finger
is shown by the models in the glove
store windows, and while it is affecta-
ton to hold the hands in such a posi-
ton, yet this exercise, to make the
pose natural, should be practiced.
Some n has said somewhere that
the number of cultured generations
back of an individual may be Judged
by the degree of curve in the little
finger. Observation will prove this
more or less true. When one sees a
person holding a glass or cup with the
little finger thrust out and curved I'M
til it resembles a hook, a little inves-
tigation VIII almost invariably show
that the desire for culture has only
just awakened in that particular fam
lily, and in it's newness is somewhat
oyerstepping the mark. Alteration is
a sign of lack of breeding.
Some of the old painters understood
hands to perfection. Long, rounded
hands, with slightly curved fingers
anu genIly DenU WrlSLS, are character
istic of the women whose beauty they
have made memorable. Sometimes,
perhaps, the beautiful hands were
those of some other model than the
pictured one; but the painters knew
that beautiful hands were as necessary
as beautiful faces i'm order to make n
harmonious picture.
The people of almost every other ma
ton have more graceful hands than we
have; and those who use their hands
most freely when conversing are by
far the most graceful. The hands
which make no superfuous move
ments, which appear to obey readily
and easily their owners will, whose
movements are free, rhythmic and gen.
tie, are the really graceful ones.

Moving a Church.

London Telegraph: An eXtraordi-
nary feat in church removal will soon
be witnessed in London. Hidden away
in the quiet recess of Great Ormond
street, bloomsbury, is an unpreten-
tious building externally, which in
reality is n of the most beautiful
Roman Catholic churches in the me-
troplis. II was built by the late Sir
George Bowyer, once a we'll known
member of parliament and Il chamber
lain of the pope, as a temple OF the Or
der Of Malto Knights OF the Hospital
lers of st. John of Jerusalem, whom
the baronet was the mean of rcintro-
ducing into England; but il was also
associated with the hospital of ST. Eliz-
abeth of Hungary, next door, founded
by Cardinal Wiseman in 1865.
The extension of the hospital for
sick children, close by, hampered the
authorities Of the smaller institution
in Il scheme of enlargement they had
devised, and they accordingly agreed
to sell their whole property to the 9TH
CT hospital, and erect n new building
for themselves in St. Johns wood.
This involved the demolition or re-
moval of the Church OF st. John of
Jerusalem, and the question, after
careful consideration by Cardinal
Vaughn, was referred for final decision
to the pope, who has now authorized
the church to be taken down stone by
stone and re-erccted beside the new
hospital in the district mentioned. The
beautiful altar and magnificent cary
ing which the church contains will be

site the building, externally and in
ternally, will have exactly the same APP
pearance as It has at present.
