Profit In Raising Fowls.

If the farmers and other householders
of Tazewell county have not already found
out that there is much profit in raising
poultry 1t is to be hoped they will soon
awaken to the fact. There is nothing that
pays SO well in proportion to the outlay
and the cost OF production. There has
been a growing demand for number of
years in the eastern markets for all kinds
of fowls and for eggs, and there is rarely a
time that excellent prices cannot be OBJ
tanned for chickens and eggs. Since last
winter it has been almost impossible tog get
fowls to supply the demand in our town,
and at times there has been scarcity OF
eggs that was never before known. This
has been occasioned in large measure by
the shipments of most OF the fowls and
eggs from the county to the eastern mark
cts. If The farmers had been supplied
with them during the present winter they
could have sold tons of fowls and thou
sands of ,fuzens of eggs here at home fol
consumption, and there has been no limit

mature deliberation Leo XIII proclaimed
1900 the Holy Year, and announced that
he would personally open the sacred door.
Those whose opinion is authoritive declare
that this action on the part of His Holi-
ness can mean only one thing-the longed
for reconciliation.
Cardinal Gotti, one of the most intiuen-
tial members of the Sacred College, and
urged by Leo as his successor as Pope,
said ga reconciliation with Italy is not
impossible. 1t would be as useful for the
Quirinal as for the Vatican. In the pres
ence of the dangers which menace the
Italian state, especially Socialism, the Ro-
man Church would be valuable ally"
"Upon what conditions could the alli-
ance be made ?" the Cardinal was asked.
81 think that both sides would make
concessions, was his reply.
The Jubilee will be prolonged until the
end of the year, because the Pope holds
that the new century begins on January l,
1901.

SWEEPING REFORMS.
Correction of Prison Abuses in Island
of Cuba.

Washington, Jan. l3.-Secretary Roo
has taken steps to institute at once sweep
ing reforms in the judicial system in Gu
ba, the animating purpose being to cor
rect as soon as possible the Cuban prison
abuses, which have already been the sub
ject of representations to the War De
partment.
To accomplish this purpose the Secre
tary has decided to appoint commits
sion, composed of three Americans anC
an equal number of Cubans. This com
mission will probably consist of HoratiC
Rubent, E. L. Conant, and MIR. Runcie
for the American side. These are all law
yers, we'll versed in the Spanish code, al
well as thoroughly acquainted With Ameri
can practice.
The Cuban contingent will probably be
selected by Governor Wood from among
the members of the Havana bar. The
commission will meet at the earliest pos
sible moment in Havana and begin al
once with revision of the criminal meth
DDS, following this up later on with
amendments of the civil code, where ne
cessary.
Mr.. Rubens had consultation with
Secretary Root to-day and left Washing.
ton for New York. He expects 70 pro-
ceed to Havana via Miami next Wednes-
day.

TALULAH LYNCHIh9.
italian Government Wants the Lynchers
Punished

Washington, Jan. 13.--The Italian gov
ernment las signified to the government
of the United States in the polite and
courteous method known to diplomacy, a
wish that the persons guilty of lynching
five Italians at Talulah, La, last spring,
should be punished.
Heretofore, in cases of the lynching of
Italians, the matter has been compromised
by the payment of an indemnity, but this
does not meet the present demand of the
Italian government.
As under the existing law the trial and
prosecution of such cases as this is left en-
trey to the State authorities, the national
government is well nigh helpless to meet
the request of the Italian government.
AS an outcome of this embarrassing po'
sition, the President will probably make
fresh representations TO Congress urging
the speedy passage of the pending bills in
tended to remove from the State courts
jurisdiction in cases where persons claiul
ing treaty protection are the victims, anC
transferring jurisdiction over them to th,
! Federal courts.
