The press announces the death of
Austin Bidwell, the reformed ex-pris-
Oner of England. 1t will be remem-
bered that he spoke in the chapel one
Sunday last fall.

day, and just before THE MIRROR
went to press it was announced that
there were IL paroles.
The shoe company is running at full
capacity, and have orders ahead. When
we consider what this means, it
seems wonderful. It is turning out
somewhere around 1900 pairs per day.
Deputy Warden Lemon was gone
from the institution the larger part of
last week. The presence of Chas. Ham
iltOn Bell, one of the residents of this
institution, was needed at Catalonia,
hence the Deputy's absence.

The Pierian Chautauqua Circle held
an unusually interesting meeting last
Sunday. Rev. S. J. Kennedy was pres
emit, although belated by a misleading
notice which appeared in this paper
last week, and which placed the hour
of meeting at 80 instead of 1890. In
explanation 1 will say that the COM
position was unable to get that figure
two into tie line and therefore left it
out. One member rendered his resig-
nation but may reconsider it some time
next week.
At the last meeting of the Chautau-
qua Circle, during the session of the
Mock Senate, a senator from one of the
Southern states became very impatient
with the contention over a resolution
which was declared out of order after
two or three sessions had been spent in
attempts to amend it. He finally sue
ceeded in getting the floor and in a
fiery speech elucidated on the time
spent in chewing the rag and accom-.
plishing nothing" After delivering
himself of the same, senator from
Colorado arose, and, in a calm and
dignifed manner, informed the senator
from the South that it was not the
object of that body to accomplish any
thing. That it was intended to be a
Mock U. S. Senate, and if it should
accomplish anything it would not be.
That's Knockout blow for the u. S.
Senate.
