WASHINGTON, May 16.-It appears from
late mail advices from Manila that the
prison officials Of Bilibid Prison at Manila
are under investigation on charge of ex-
changing and releasing prisoners and re-
ceiving brides. Bilibid Prison. the largest
in the Orient, contains thousands of pris-
cners. The Americans were obliged to con-
tinue Alcalde Benito and other officials in
charge because they themselves knew MOTH
ing of the prison methods or the Filipino
language. 1t is alleged that prisoners were
freely exchanged, that natives with money
were allowed to employ substitutes TO serve
their term and various other forms of COR
ruption existed.

Mark Hanna and his own resources to fall back upon, yet he is an element of weak ness in his party. for many Republicans will not support a man whose only reeom- mendatlon for public recognition is a fat pocketbook.
 The Democrats are therefore organizing against Addicks rather than against Re- publlcanism in general. They show that he is not in fact and in all truth a rcsident of Delaware; that he retains a nominal residence for political purposes only, and they will leave nothing undcne that will carry the state and defeat the Addicks Legislative candidates. The Democratic nominee for Governor Peter J. Ford is a popular campaigner, and he is Npeaking daily to the people, scoring at every turn Addicks and the ccrrupting influences be- hind him.
 There is a good deal at stake in Deia- ware of national interest, for the new Legislature will elect two United States Senators. A pretty full vote will be boiled in the little state partly on account of the feeling against Addicks. who is a lesser edition of Mark Hanna, and partly on &C., count of the interest taken in the vacant Senatorial seats.

Confederate Veterans Home.

The Age-Herald does not see how any one can read untouched the appeal of the board of directors of the proposed Confederate Veterans Home addressed to the people of Alabama. These heroes are fast passing away. and the directors ask, shall these men, in their days of need-these men who did so much for the State in its years of severest trial, be neglected by those who can afford to help them?
 The appeal very properly and pertinently says that mere words, however loving and kind, are not now the chief want. Practi- cal help is needed now. A farm is needed, on which comfortable little homes can be established, each to be surrounded by little piece of land in order that the war worn veteran and his family may aid in their own support. This is scheme of practical benefcence-a scheme that every man should be glad to assist in carrying out. Will not some one of the large land owners of the State donate 100 acres of land fitted for cultivation by the destitute veterans of the State? Will not the lum- Der operators of the State donate lumber for fifty homes on the land? VIII not the hardware dealers donate the nails and other hardware needed in the construction of those homes? Will not the dealers in paints paint them? And then we are sure the rest of the State will donate money enough to locate the veterans in their new homes, start them off in their new work and assist all who need assistance
 It cannot be that project so practical, benefcent and needful will be permitted to fail. Small sums from every locality and center will suffice. great building is not wanted-just comfortable little homes Let every one give the subject consideration. The State cannot afford to neglect those who fought for her when men were needed as they never had been before, and as, let us hope, they never will be again.

AGAIN ST HAITI
Decision of the Arbitrator in the Metz
 ger Case

Washington. October 1-Judge Day, the arbitrator in the Metzger case has just re- turned his decision in favor of the claimant and has decreed that Hayti pay an indem- nifty of $2S,0OO This case was submitted to arbitration in accordance with a treaty drawn year ago between Secretary Hay and Minister Leger. The claim for indem- nity was made by John D. Metzger & Co., an American firm, on account of the seiz- ure and sale of their goods at Port-au- Prince for the non-payment of certain li- censes and account of an alleged failure to furnish them with an adequate supply of water for the operation of their mill at Port-au-Prince, and on account of a quan- tity of lumber alleged to have been sold by them for the relief committee on the oc- casion of the deva station of Jaomel. The treaty requires the Haytien Legislature to provide for the payment of the judgment within six months.

A BRIDE AND A MILLION

N. Y. Letter in the Pittsburg Dispatch
 Apropos of love matches there are sev- eral romances here in New York that have kept the fashionable world on tiptoe with expectancy. Cupid has been busy in the palaces of the millionaires, and weddings will follow each other so closely all through October and November that society is al- ready going over the list, deciding which invitations can be accepted and to which regrets must be sent. Foremost in social importance and one that interests two continents is that of Miss Louisa Morgan eldest daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, the railway magnate and banker, to Herbert Livingston Satterlee, New York lawyer It is said that MT. Satterlee's bride will bring to him dover of s1,OOO,OOO the gift of her father whose favorite child she is Miss Morgan has travelled great deal and Is clever horsewoman. She is equally at home on yacht, and has helped navigate her fathers luxurious yacht Corsair MT. Satterlee is a member of the New York naval militia.

Hard Coal Miners.

There are few Hungarians in the hard ooai mines although many are spoken of as Huns. They are in truth Slavs, or Slovaks> coming from the hill sections of Hungary. They resemble in appearance the Polanders or Polacks, but in religion they are Roman Catholics, while the Poles as rule belong to the Greek church.
 The hard coal mines are full of Poles and Slays, because it is the cheapest labor in Pennsylvania at present. At Shenandoah in the hard coal districts 14,O0o out of 1900 of it's popula ton are Slavs and Poles few of them speaking English. The postmaster is Pole. In the last fiscal year 25292 Slovaks and 36,S56 Poles came into the coun- try, and In about six hours many of them were landed among their countrymen in the hard coal districts
 The Italians, who are arriving in still larger numbers, do not seem to like mining life. and President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers is dealing largely with sloyaks and Poles. Both are described as sturdy people, with powerful shoulders and chests. with a tendency to corpulence. Tn stature they are size taller than the Italians. Their complexion is generally eair, with stiff faxen hair, and blue-gray, intent but rather absent-looking eyes. They are broad-faced and broad-headed, and many of them are featured rather crudely. Their children are serious-eyed and undemonstra- tive"
 These men are led by President John Nit cheil who Is only 31 years old; who looks more like a student than labor leader: who was a miner fifteen years, but is now a lawyer at Spring Valley, Illinois, in the coal districts of that State. He Is good speaker, and man who has the courage of his convictions.

Delaware.

Mckinley and Hobart had plurality of ssso in Delaware in 1S96 but in that year the Democrats were about evenly divided over the currency question and many of them did not vote. Such division will not occur this year, and the full Demo- cratic vote will be boiled. In addition to a full vote many Germans in Wilmington are turning towards the party that dis countenances imperialism in any form.
 The Democrats are united and hopeful, but their fight Is more with Addicksism than it Is with Republicanism. Addicks of Bay Gas fame secured an endorsement of the Republican national convention, and he has used that endorsement with such good effect that he Is now the acknowl- edged head of the Republics .--.. In that state. He is now the national committee man of the state, and he proposes to be its next United States Senator. While he has

Indiana.

Much interest is taken In the vote of In- diana. which is confessedly a doubtful State, and a full vote will certainly be brought out. It is the center of the prevail1 ing political disturbance. The best speakers of each side are there gathered, and no doubt MT. Hanna is distributing trust con- tributions freely in the State. The vote of indiana in 1896 was large. but 1t will be larger this year, partly on account of the Presidential race and partly on account of the unusual number of local officers to be elected.
 recent Democratic poll of the State pre- sents these conditions:
 First-The poll sustains the Democratic assertion that 90 per. cent of the gold Dem- ocrats will vote for Bryan this year.
 Second-A large increase is indicated in Allen County due to return of gold Dem- ocrats and German disaffecton on the i'm periahstic issue.
 Third-Big gains are indicated in the Gas Belt, due to disaffection in organized labor ranks account of the trusts
 Fourth-The poll shows large accessions in the coal mining districts.
 Fifth-The poll shows large gains In Wayne County and other Quaker settle ments.
 Sixfh-The poll indicates large gains in the southern Indiana counties.
 Seventh-The poll shows that the Prohi- bitionists will carry surprisingly large vote, and that the bulk of it will come from the Republicans.
 Eighth-It is claimed that at least S9 per cent of the German vote is for Bryan this year.
 Ninth-Disaffection on account of the dis trbution of patronage in 1896 has made Democratic converts in considerable num- pers.
 The Democrats of Indiana say they will carry the State by from 1S,O00 to 26,0O0 plur- ality. They say their confidence is based on polls that have been conducted with a sole view to the ascertainment of the situ- ation, and they do not concede hope even to the Republicans so far as the electoral vote of the State is concerned.

Wee Little Ones.

Soon will be opened by the Kindergarten Association, over which Mrs. w. B. Phil lips presides, two schools for children be- tween 3 and 6 years of age, one on the North, and one on the South, side. In the two schools were gathered last year 15O larger enrolment this year.
 The extent of the good work depends largely upon the number of young women who are willing to enter the two years course of the training class; for to each member of the training class is committed sixteen of the little folks, all being super intended by an expert teacher from an- other State. This training class is the only one in the State, and it affords an excel lent opportunity to young women to help child life, to study it, and to gain for young women who are willing to devote their time to little children are needed.
 Few people of this town appreciate the value of the work that the Kindergarten ASSOc1atlon IS QOlnS.. Iue taklnS or I0U little lives at ages below 6 years. and gent ly training them in manners and morals when their minds are most receptive is a noble work It prepares them for the pub lis schools, which they can enter as they become 6 years old. Its work is philan- thropic as we'll as educational, although the words are Interchangeable; but child that stays in the kindergarten three years will be well heeled against the wiles of crime afterwards It has been said that a great priest of a great church once said: "Give me control of the first five years of child's life, and you may control the rest of it." This is the underlying principle of the Kindergarten. It is a blessed work, and the association needs not only larger contributions. every dollar is made to go as far as it will but it also wants the services of more young women who will give their time to the little ones in the two schools during nine months of each years course.

There was no change in the clerical force of the hotel, and it is said that no change is contemplated by the new management MT Scally comes from New Orleans, where he has long enjoyed an enviable reputation as chef, caterer, and cafe manager; the New orleans newspapers uniting in paying high tribute to his skill and to his personal popularity.

Many structural changes will be made in the Morris and it will be refur- nished. It is said that S4O,O00 will be ex- pended in Improvements.

 A dense and dark brown cloud of dust enveloped everything in sight. Down Twentieth street in the business district the arc lights were dim as rlfshlights in fog. Up the street, Capitol park, two blocks away. could not be discerned.
 The carnival of the Dust Devil was still greater in Nineteenth street From Eighth avenue to the Union Passenger Station, nearly mile without a vacant lot, and on the way the largest drygoods store in the South, there was a seemingly impen- etrable ocean of dust. Yet the people of Birmingham tolerate that sort of thing. The day was the busiest first of October Birmingham ever knew It was also the dustiest.

THE UNIVERSAL PRAYER

By Alexander Pope. Father of all in every age,
 In every cline aJored; By saint, by savage, and by sage, Jehovah, love, or Lord! Thou great First Cause, least understood Who all my sense confined To know but this that thou art good, And that myself am blind; Yet gave me, in this dark estate, To see the good from ill.,; And binding Nature first in Fate, Left free the human will. What conscience dictates to be done, Or warns me not to do, This, teach me more than hell to shun, That, more than heaven pursue. What blessings thy free bounty gives, Let me not cast away; For God Is paid when man receives, To enjoy Is to obey Yet not to earth's contracted span Thy goodness let me bound, Or think thee, Lord, alone of man, When thousand worlds are round Let not this weak, unknowing hand
 Presume thy bolts to throw, And deal damnation round the land,
 On each I judge thy foe. If am right, thy grace impart,
 Still In the right to stay; If am wrong, oh teach my heart
 To find that better way! Save me alike from foolish pride,
 Or impious discomfort, At aught thy wisdom has denied,
 Or aught thy goodness lent. Teach me to feel another's woe,
 To hide the fault see; That mercy I to others show
 That mercy show to me. Mean though am. not wholly so,
 Since quickened by thy breath; Oh, lead me wheresoer I go,
 Through this days life or death! This day be bread and peace my lot;
 And else beneath the sun, Thou lmow'st it best bestowed or not
 And let thy will be done. To thee, whose Temple Is all space,
 Whose altar, earth, sea, skies, One chorus let all being raise!
 All natures incense rise!
