Of the kind, it, has its star boarder. This
one was a young southern girl. She was
not pretty, yet far from. being homely;
there was no special style about her, and
she was as heavy on hand as a log, and,
last of all, she was not particularly rich.
But she lorded it over the place, and all
the other boarders walked behind like the
sister Of giddy "Dodo." The Louisville
woman lost sleep-trying to find the key to
this soaial mystery. One day she chatted
with the female potentate. They talked on
and on until finally the subject turned on
the Davis family; "Did you know any Of

And then the other women from the south

Getting Ready.

Two carloads of machinery have ar
rived for the penitentiary Irvine plant,
being the last that is to come. The
machinery is being installed, as the
work of setting up the engines and
lifting up the power house is nearly
completed. The main building and
the Irvine plant building have been
wired for electric lights. The plan
in the main building contemplates the
installation of a light in each cell, and
the cell block will be lighted with
four miniature arcs, hat will make the
interior as light as day, and yet will
cast no shadow in the cells. The in
stalling of electric lights will make 81
great improvement in the institution.
