 The meeting to which MT. Twain al- luded was held in saloon at the corner of Clark and Madison streets. The three men had gone into the place to have a glass of beer together, and while chatting one of them suggested that it would be a good thing to start a press club. They talked the matter over and fixed on date for holding meeting, to which the newspaper men of the city were invited.
 Subsequently the club was organized, with MT. Wilkie as president, and MT. Stone as secretary and treasurer.

Just before Mark Twain left the Press Club on the evening of the re- ception given in his honor last week, he met Melville E. Stone, general man ager of the Associated Press of New York, who was present.
 Holding out his hand to MT. Stone he exclaimed Mel, I am glad to see you Do you remember when you and l and Franc B. Wilkie started the Chi cago Press Club back in '79?"

AN EASTERN exchange, of an in
m,sr a'rts,na quisitive and irritable turn of
mind, wants to know the precise
reason for the terrible increase Of insanity in
penal institutions during the past few prosperous
years wherein penitentiary reform rumors have
gained such widespread publicity
From the sagacity and general trend of this gen.
tlemans peroration this subject it is easy to per-
ceive that he is neither crmnoogist or cradlerocked
reformer. Neither is he mounted upon a dyspeptic
and dazed broken down hobby has he experienced
the exquisite and exhilarating effects of hobnobbng
with prunes purgatory and pulverized meat while
watching for the caudal appendix Of five year
tence it marched majestically on keeping step to
the swing of the universe
A great many of our penal institutions, in their
scramble to initiate ingredients in their reform
decoctons, have reached an altitude that shows
unmistakable signs of having reached the danger
point In of them it is idleness and absolute
silence that is dethroning and degenerating their
faculties.
None knows better than the prisoner how pro-
found and oppressive these slow, scourge-ke SAVIOR
less sessions of continual silence can become espec-
ally when he is inclined to worry In these moments
his murky mind becomes muzzled by the rigid, re-
lentless rules which prevents him from confding
Iuese lHHehse, imaginative anu lmmgrant-l1Ke &C.
cumulations to sympathetic friends. Worry is a
weapon that will weaken and destroy the intellect
rapaciously as fire will consume the woodwork in
freproof building.
We honestly believe that this terrible increase
Of insanity is due principally to enforcing the ex-
IRENE maximum Of silence. We also honestly be-
lieve that prison men of the error they
have Numbered into but too proud to acknowledge
their mistake especially after devoting years of
patient toll in convincing the public of the beauties
of their modern reform Institutions
There may be many other logical reasons but
these undisputable and will suffice for the occa-
sion.

a. 'IN DISCUSSING the question of manu-
featuring Irvine at the state prisons

urged by those in opposition that such labor would be
better employed in the making of good roads, as then
would not be in competition with free labor In giving
remarks of prominent implement this subject an

The numskuled, nutty nyctalop who gave par
antage to. the above paragraph should send for the
fire department in order to drown or soak out the
burs, bugs and bugjuice from that vacuous belfry

Usher, whose soul is shrouded in sorrow by the iron
grasp of the trust mercenaries.
He says that "such labor would be better en-
poyed in the making of good roads, as then it would
not be in competition with free labor"
What of manufactured rot that sentence
contains. If the building of these public roads are
a necessity why employ prisoners instead of free
labor? Has free labor been benefited by the trusts
before Irvine manufactured in state institutions?
When men are employed in building these turnpikes

Certainly not! 1t is the laboring man who would be

ing in those cordage companies which are controlled
by the trust
These vampire-ike vipers are now endeavoring
to induce various labor organizations to protest in
pathetic and pseudo language to our Legislators in
order to stop this niquitous and Infamous practice
of deprivng aboring from the pursuit of honest
toll
Let some of these labor unions investigate the
inside of the imperial domains of these predaceous
panderers of honest labor without their storm blinds
on, and thus note the paucity of able-bodied men
there employed. Their eyes would open wider than
drunkards just after he has taking his mornings
