Union river woods continues to be good.

1t is expected that the Norway Saw
ings Bank at Norway, which has been
closed to business for about two months,
will be in position to resume in a few
days. The officers of the bank do not
expect any serious run when the doors
are re-opened and they anticipate quite
number of new deposits. 1t Is believed
that it will be unnecessary to scale down
the deposits, as the amount of the
shortage, when it is officially announced,
will be made good by the bondsmen Of
the late Treas. Stearns. At present, the
banks deposits amount in round figures
to $500, 900. The bank has about $780,
900 in real estate, $4,000 in collateral
and the rest is approved corporation
stock that is all worth par and over.

been purchasing very heavy of late, but
its agents are always ready to snatch W
what seems to be bargain and a sale
of the magnitude mentioned is matter
of little concern to them. An estimate
of the amount of wool used by the
American wooden company during sin
gle week in its busy season shows thai
over two million pounds are consumed
weekly by its 80 mills.

THE MARCH OF TRUSTS.

The latest list of trusts, COM
piled by the United States Investor,
gives the names of 4S7 combina-
tions, with an aggregate capitaliza-
tion of 81 7,370,OO0,000, which have
been organized since January l,
1898, Trust capitalization has
doubled in six months and new
combines are forming every day,
says the Kansas City Star No
one can yet see the end of this
movement, and no one wholly un-
derstands its Significance or can
predict its outcome. The men
who are engaged in organizing
trusts are themselves in the dark
as to what the ultimate results
will be.
The universal public clamor
against the trusts does not seem to
exert the slightest effect in the
way of checking the progress of
the movement. 1t might be sup
posed that the legislation inimical
to trusts that has already been en-
acted and the more stringent stat
utes that are certain to be passed
in the future would cause men of
large wealth to hesitate about
making investments in the form of
trust securities. But no such ef-
feet as this has been perceptible.
The trust movement seems to be
sweeping along like flood that
nothing can check.

ATTORNEYS ARE USELESS
Under the Provisions of the New
Prisoners Parole Bill.

Secretary Stonaker of the board
of charities and corrections, has
cast n bomb among the attorneys
who dotted on the passage OF. the
parole law, expecting to receive
many fees from convicts for whom
they would intercede. The law
yers will be disappointed. Several
petitions for parole we're being pre-
pared, but delegation sent to the
state house to ascertain the exact
provisions of the law in order to
settle slight doubts that existed,
was met with the point blank de-
cision that lawyers are not in it in
this case.
The new law is effective August
3. Under its provisions the gov
ernor makes the rules and regula-
tions by which prisoners may be
granted conditional liberty. These
rules have not yet been prepared,
but they will probably be fashion
ed after those in vogue in Miohi-
gan, where only the record of the
prisoner Is received. Friends and
relatives of convicts in the Colo
RADIO state penitentiary will be dis
appointed to learn that only the
prisoner himself can have any in
fluence with the authorities. Pris-
oners who request attorneys to take
up their cases are wasting money
although it cannot be said they are
wasting time.
The parole does not mean that
the sentence will be shortened, but
it must be served out as trusty
if parole is granted, and that in
The Florence daily tribune., 1899-07-07

any outside place that may be de
signated in the parole.
If the governor thinks a prison.
er is entitled to return to his family
and friends, he may be paroled if
he has lived up to the regulations
of the prison and the rules for
parole arranged by the governor.
If, on being paroled, the conduct
is not good, the trusty will be re-
manded to the prison
"There has been much misun-
derstanding in the state as to the
law" said Secretary Stonaker yes
terday. Relatives and friends of
convicts think parole means abso-
Lutte freedom and that argument
or influence can persuade the pa
role authorities to grant pardon,
all of which is false. In all likeli-
hood the rules of the governor
will not permit attorneys to argue
or arrange their cases as they
would before the board of pardons
1t is absolutely impossible for pris-
oners to make anything by hiring
attorneys to plead their cases or to
assist in any way to get their
names on the parole list.
"It is no more possible than for
a convict to employ an attorney to
persuade the warden of the peni-
tentiary to change his character of
employment. A number of pris-
oners have given their cases to at
torneys endeavoring to secure early
parole, but it is waste of money
and interfering with their chances
for parole.
This law is a form of prison
discipline and has nothing to do
with the public at large. A mans
past life, his character and prison
record will tell in this question
more than anything else. Our OBJ
ject is not to release from punish.
ment habitual criminals, because
that class, in particular, is not
wanted at large. The matter of
recommending paroles to the gov
ernor will probably be left with
the prison officials"

The time is undoubtedly coming

they can communicate with each

New York state describes an inter

constructed the line, furnishing the
tools and doing the work them
selves, the expense for wire, ,instru-

about fourteen dollars per share.
The line of course is free to sub
