Lynchburg News: 1t is manifest
that the sentiment is growing in Vir-
gina that something should be done,
and speedily, to relieve the overcrowd-
ed condition of the psnitentisry. 1t
is felt that the State prison is a dis
grace to the Commonwealth and an
outrage on humanity. Just think of
crowding thirty nine men all night
into one cell. "a feet long, 20 feet
wide and 10 feet high, with but one
barred window and a transom over
the door. A farmer would be cruel
70 crowd thirty nine hogs into such q
space. 1t reminds one painfully of
the Black Hole of Calcutta. which
was a room of about the same dimen-
sions. into which a hundred aud for
~ Englishmen were thrown and
where all but nineteen persisted of
sDffocation in one night. Convictt

bound to respect.

Honesty

Ts a very good policy to follow, no matter what business you are conduct ing. Take, for instance, if man Is go- ing to wrestle another man and he ruDs vaseline or something of its nature all over his body so that the other fellow cannot get a hold on him, that isn't square and 99 times out of 100 he IS caught; then the laugh is on him. Again. you'll see large public contracts let to the highest bidder. but they are usually nipped in time and, of course. again the laugh is in order. Then again you'll see business men selling second or third class tea. coffee or but ter for fancy prices; they, too, some times get tripped up. But why should you buy poor tea at 50 cents per pound, bad tasting coffee at 9 or 8 cents per pound. tainted butter or oleo at 24 cents per pound. when you can get the warranted good kind at the same prices in our store? (Of course we bar cleo. All we ask of you is that you give us trial and see if our say so Is not our do so.

San Francisco, Nov 1.-The whaling bark John and Winthrop has arrived from the Japanese coast. She brings very poor catch for the season, hav- ing taken only nine sperm whales, which gave the vessel cargo of 325 barrels of sperm oil. Captain Macum- Der reports that a great number of whales were seen, but rough weather prevented their capture. Only two of the whaling fleet now remain to come into port, the Gayhead and the Phyllis.
