After HIS Talk at Albany Prison 100
Rise and Ask for Prayers.
From Leslie's Weekly.
An astonishing scene was witnessed
in the Albany penitentiary on a recent
sunday One hundred of the toughest
looking criminals, clothed in striped
uniforms, rose in the chapel, before 500
OF their associates and asked Dwight
Moody, the evangelist, to pray for
them. There had been an hours talk
by Moody, in his most captivating way,
full or sympathy, pathos and senti-
ment. He spoke in the kindest way to
the prisoners, whom he invariably ad-
dressed as gentlemen" and told them
that if their hearts were right they
would be happy, no matter where they
were, and that If their hearts had been
right they would never have been in
trouble.
After he had finished he invited those
who desired his prayers and the pray
ers of others to rise. Immediately more
than 100 OF the convicts, most of them
colored men, were on their feet. The
way in which the 500 or 900 prisoners
Joined in the chorus when Sankey led
the singing would have surprised the
pastors of our big churches. At the
close of the services some one asked
Mr.. Moody if he was not surprised to
see so many prisoners asking for pray
ers.
No he said. 81 find that my most
promising field of work is in just such
institutions as these"
A convict, sitting in the middle of one
of the front seats, within five feet of
Moody, never exhibited the slightest
emotion, but sat ABSOLUTELY impressive,
with his teeth firmly set and an evil
dent determination not to be moved
by anything that was said. Moody
talked straight at this man, but he
never turned a hair" Moody was put
out by the imperturbability of the man.
Superintendent Dearstyne, the very ca
pable manager of the institution, was
asked who this prisoner was, and he
replied: THAT is a life convict. He
killed fellow prisoner in Jail at Wash
ington and was condemned to be hung.

that William Mckinley will be renomi-
mated in 1900. On this superstition the
lines are being drawn. Roosevelt is
not even mentioned Tom Reed is looked
upon as a big man with a small possi-
hility Hanna is accepted as the re-
publican leader. The trusts supply the
issue upon which the battle will be
fought.
New York is preparing for the strug-
gle on these lines. Its voting popula-
ton take 1t for granted that the repub-
lican party will represent the trusts and
that the democratic party will stand for
the people. 1t is conceded that the
condition of the country at the time
the people go to the polls will have
much to do with the result of the cleo
ton. Prosperity will mean republican
success; hard times will insure demo-
cratic victory.
In this brief statement I give the sit
uation as expressed by the average
New Yorker. How does it compare
with the political conditions in the
west! JOHN NJ. QUINN.

GREAT TENSION OF PIANO STRINGS.
The Iron Plates Must Resist the Strain of
Many Tons.

The strings of the modern piano cause
a strain or pull on the iron plate aver
aging from sixteen to twenty-five tons
The system of construction and bracing
must be such as TO give absolute safety
against the pull of the strings and con-
sequent cracking of the iron plate.
Experts find the perfection of resist
ance to this strain in the Kimball piano,
in which pre-eminent strength and en-
durance is secured by the scientific
system of cross-bar bracing used in its
construction.-Chica Tribune.

MASTER CAR-BUILDERS.
Their Annual Convention-Rcpor
The Exhibits.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA, June 1i.-(Spe-
clal)-The thirty-third convention OF the
National Association of Master Car-Build-
ers' Of America opened in the handsome
bathrooms Of the Chambcrlin Hotel at
Old Point this morning at 10 o'clock. with
large attendance. 1t is estimated that
about 1oOO railroad men are present at
the deliberations of the convention.
The meeting was called 10 order by
President G. a. SchrOyer, Of Chicago, who
retres this year. In opening his remarks,
he announced that Rev DR.. j. j. Gravatt
pastor OF the Holy Trinity Episcopal
church. of Richmond would invoke the
divine blessing upon the association be-
fore the business of the day commenced.
Or. Gravatts prayer was beautifully
worded, and was delivered in an appro-
pirate manner.
President SchrOyer then read his annual
report, in which he covered the work OF
the association for the past year. and
made many suggestions as TO the work TO
be accomplished during the ensuing year
In submitting his annual report. Secre-
tary John w. Cloud stated that during
the year the membership Of the associa-
ton had increased To 2G1 active. 19l rep
resentative and associate, members,
making a total membership of 45S.
The report of the treasurer brought out
the fact that after paying all of the as
sessments and other debts incurred du-
ring the year, a surplus Of $457 had been
carried over for the next year
Mr.. j. b. Maxwell, representing the Ma
tional Association of Master Painters. was
accorded the privilege Of the floor i'm or
der that he might state to the car-build-
ers something about the purposes of his
organization. He spoke for twenty min
utes. urging the car-builders To give his
association their support, as both were
virtually one and unless they worked
hand in hand their aims could not be
properly accomplished Several others
took part in this discussion but on a vote

The Chicago Tribune, in an editorial
under the caption, Scientific Jargon,"
expresses regret that the experiment
station records, for which Congress has
increased the appropriation. cannot be
printed in more Ineligible language.
These publications are intended for farm
ers ana even granting that these citizens
are familiar with the English tongue, II
is safe to predict that they will have TO
use their dictionaries when they read the
records. Here is a sample of the informa-
ton concerning the digestion of COWS:
"When metabolism Investigations are
carried on with herbivora the feeding
stuffs are not as simple as in the case OF
carnivora. They contain more amid
compounds than flesh"
While the late DIR. Samuel Johnson
might have found great pleasure in such
bit of bovine information, we feel as
sured that the average cattle-raiser will
wish TO quit the business when he reads
this statement And even sUpposing tho
energetic farmer can find the time 10
reach the true meaning of the above. he
Is very apt 10 pause when he learns from
the records that light is not essential
to proteid formation in phanerograms,"
and that "the beech is the only one of
all the genera in which the hypacotyl
lengthens or the cotyedons become
aerial"
Our contemporary is right in is COM
plants and scientific men throughout the
land would do well to hearken unto its
murmurings. our own observation has
been that the intelligent professional man
can always hnd plain English In wnich to
express his ideas. and by so doing he in
sures himself a patient hearing. Poly
syllable monstrosities. like those given
above. would frghten the bravest and
kill the enthusiasm Of any investigating
hero.

A Wisconsin lady has written the Chi
caRo Tribune letter in which she urges
that paper TO boom the morning glory
as the national flower. She says:
wherever the graceful vine takes root
il quickly reaches the top Of its support
even as this young nation has already
climbed TO heights Of glory and renoWn--
and still sends out its tendrils, as II
seeking further growth and expansion.
Then comes a profusion Of beautiful
flowers and behold our national colors-
the red. white. and blue-painted by Ma
lures hand, and almost riyallng in
beauty the sacred folds of our starry ban
ner; the perfect blossoms opening to the
morning sunlight. even as this fair land
has developed and progressed beneath the
God-given sunlight of prosperity
The Tribune, while conceding the grace
and beauty Of the morning glory, de-
clines to assist the lady in exploiting its
claims for adoption as the national floral
symbol. Our contemporary objects to
this delicate flower because its beauties
fade so quickly and are apparent only at
certain no rs Of the day. To quote the
criticism Of the editor, at unfolds itself
early in the morning, but before the sun
is at its zenith It shuts up like an UNI
brella. falls from its caIyX, and that is
the last Of it. IT cannot stand the ef-
fects Of growth and expansion. IT folds
up its red. white. and blue ensign almost
rs quickly rs it opens it. 1t is a glory
for few minutes only. The flower that is
10 stand for a national emblem must be
a morning, noon, and night glory"
This * indeed an adroit way Of vent
lating the Tribune's impcriaistic views,
yet one cannot but smile at it's far
fetched" alegory. Almost in the next
line our contemporary suggests the gold
enrod, the rose, or the sunhower for
adoption as our national flower, yet the
life of these blossoms is but few hours
longer than that of the morning glory.
one folds up its red, white, and blue
ensign" at the approach Of the sun, tits
true, but the others offer up their with
cred petals to every wanton zephyr. The
morning glory stands a good chance for
the coveted honor if its only enemies are
those who oppose it with imperialistic
allegories.

I had been put on the tables for purposes
Of crnamcntaticn. In many cases these
hits OF lingerie were quite expensive. and
as the loss Of enc rendered the rest of
the set practically useless. they complains
cd bitterly 20 the caterers. ~ first the
table attendants were supposed TO have
stolen the doylics. but later GA caterer
called the attention of one of the Cabinet
ladies 10 a~singular coincidence. Doylies
had been missed at every one Of half
dozen dinners and lunchoons he had
served where the wife OF a certain for
oign minister had been the guest None
had ever disappeared when she had been
absent. The inference was-wcll. 1t IN
volvod a very delicate matter and might
have caused international complications.
As no one cared TO accuse the lady an
other cxpediont was adopted. when
the caterers fousd her name on dinner
card they removed the valuable doyly and
substituted one Of the cheap paper az
fairs which are seen in restaurants. AZ
ter that no more doylies disappeared
Several months afterward, when the In
cidcnt had been almost forgotten, ma
tronly woman called at the houses of sew
cral ladies who had suffered at the hands
Of the thief. and inquired If the lady OF
the house had missed any Of her doylies
last winter. When an affirmative answer
was received the lady was asked to show
a sample of the missing goods. and then
the stranger retired TO a corner and
forthwith hshod out the lost lace or en-
broldcry. Evidently. she represented the
remorseful wife OF the foreign diplomat,
though she made no explanations.

THE FREDERICKSBURG ROAD.

Beginning this morning. the 712 o'clock
"local' train leaving Richmond for
Quantico viii carry several mail pouches
from this city. Pouches Will be delivered
at Ashland. Pcnola. and Ruther Glen.
The post-onice authorities do not think
II practicable TO make up pouches Tor
Milford or Boutwell,, as atar-route con-
nectons cannot be made at those places
under the present schedule, and they are
OF the opinion that these schedules can
not be changed without breaking connec-
ton with other dependent star-route
lines. The mail for Bowling Green can
make the same time by the regular mail
train as by the 712 train. and therefore
will continue 10 be dispatched by that
train.
We are thankful that a beginning
though but u small one-has been made In
the dspatching of earlier morning mails
from this city. II seems to Us that
changes might be made in the star-route
connections at Milford and Boutwell,
which would be of great advantage to the
public. We call that attention Of post
masters and the public in that section OF
the country to the conclusion reached by
the Post-Ohice Department, hoping that
If they see q practical solution Of the
trouble they will give the post-ofiice au-
thorites the benefit OF their advice.
1t gives US pleasure to say that POST
master Knight and Railway-Superinten-
dent Vickery. and his assistants. evince
a disposition to give the outgoing morn
ing mails the pTomptest dispatch. II all
our railroad companies would start out
local trains as early as the Richmond,

ing. our city would be greatly nd
vantaged. and the country people would
be benefited by being placed in closer
contact with our community.
