A Timely Plea for the Orphans.

Ex-Attorney General Frank Johnston
has published the following timely, earn
est and forcible plea for the orphans OF
this State. 1t is simply unanswerable,
and We feel sure that our generous-heart-
ed and sympathetic readers will thank
us for reproducing it entire. There are
about three hundred children in the six
orphanages in the State, their only in
come being precarious and uncertain
charity. Surely the State can assist IN
this good work, not by starting an or
phanage of its own, but by helping those
already established. But Capt. Johnston's
plea cannot be improved. 1t is full and
complete:
Jackson. Miss, Dec. 90, l900.-At this
happy Christmas time, when the children
who are blessed with good homes are en-
joying all of the delights that belong to
the celebration of this sacred anniversary
of the birth of our Lord, our thoughts
should turn to the fatherless and mother
less little ones who are left to the char
ity of the world.
And this brings to view the fact that
neither the State, nor any municipality in
the State, makes any provisions for the
care and support of its destitute orphans;
in other words, among the many good
works that the public authorities are do
ing. none of them include any provisions
for the INDECENT orphans of the State.
There are many helpless orphans in Mis-
sissippi who are supported exclusively BY
private charity. There are three orphan
asylums in Natchez that have been main
tanned for many years by voluntary con-
tributions. And there are three other or
phan asylums established in recent years,
one at jackson. another at Water Val
lev and Il third at Columbus. In all there
are six orphan asylums in the State, sup
ported exclusively by private charity, and
none OF which receive, or have ever re-
ceived, any contributions from any public
funds.
The State of Mississippi is maintaining
many great charitable and humane public
institutions. 1t recognizes the duty of
the State to provide an asylum for the
insane. to aid in the support OF hospitals
for the INDECENT sick, and to provide spe-
cial educational facilities for the blind,
and the deaf and dumb. The duty of car
ing for the poor and helpless adults is
recognized also as among the great moral
obligations of government.
The State maintains universities and
colleges, a normal school, and an extern
sive and expensive system of common and
graded schools, in all of which education
is dispensed at the public expense. All
of the public obligations in respect to
these worthy and noble objects are met
by the State in a most liberal manner
ii not in a spirit of lavish generosity.
Besides all this the State makes an ap-
preparation every year for INDECENT ex-
Confederate soldiers.
An intelligent idea of the comprehsn-
siveness and scope of these good works
vii be had by reference to the amounts
appropriated for these various charitable
and humane institutions.
The State appropriations for these in
stitutions in the year 1906 for support
and improvements are as follows:

Gen. A, M, West,

Mr.. Lemuel A. Smith, a grandson OF
Gen. A. NJ. West, writes as follows from
Holly Springs:
81 noticed from your answer to a re-
cent letter of Maj. Strickland that you
failed to reply to his question concerning
the late Gen. A. NJ. West, originally of
Holmes county. Another time l noticed
that you did not include him in the list
Of Confederate generals from Mississippi.
"He was appointed a brigadier general
by Gov. Pettus at the outbreak of the
war, and assumed command Of a brigade
stationed at Grenada, as reports and or
ders from other generals in my possession
show. Later, having need OF a man of
executive ability, President Davis APP
pointed him quarteImaster and commits
sary general successfully. He was the
only Mississippi officer during the war
| whose accounts were audited in full and
receipted. Congress refused to accept the
| certificates of both him and his con-
freres."
The roster of Confederate generals do
| not include those commissioned by Gov
ernors of States. and hence in the list
that we copied the names of Gems. West
Alcorn and others did not appear. Missis.
tippi had no finer patriot or more faith.
full and efficient officer during the civil
war than Gen. A. NJ. West.
The State Normal work for next sum
mer will be divided into three classes,
school for primary teachers, to be locates
at some central and accessible point; will
be in session six weeks, and the instruct
ors to be the best that can be found il
the country; two normals, in which pro
fessional and advanced work will b
done, and several normals suited to thos
teachers who want to better their schol
arship in the publif school branches
Only teachers of unques.ioned scholar

employed. 1t will be the first of May be

DEATHS JAWS
Two Men Rescued from the cleve-
land, o., Tunnel.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 20.-Adam Kest
and Joseph Engine, two of a dozen
or more workmen who were trapped
in the waterworks tunnel a couple
of hundred feet below the surface
of Lake Erie, by the burning of crib
No. 2 last Wednesday morning, were
rescued from their horrible position
lcte Monday afternoon and are now
lying semi-conscious at Huron street
hospital. where, with careful nursing,
the physicians say, they will soon re-
cover their former strength and
probably be none the worse for their
thrilling experience.
"We gave up more than once" said
Kest. "We lost track of the time.
! didn't know whether it was six days
or three. The gas must have made Us
sleepy. We slept a lot, l know. We
didn't know whether it was day or
| night down there. The darkness was
awful. We tried to get out several
times. Each time the gas drove rs
back. At last we decided that il vas
get out or ole, and we made a try,
tapping on the pipe as we went
along"
According to the story of these
men, the first intimation Engine and
Kest had of the fatal Wednesday
morning which saw the crib burned,
was the shutting off of the lights.
The two men were working far in adj
vance of the gang, and when the lat
ter made their rush for safety, Kest
and Engine were sitting down behind
the air lock waiting for the lights
to be turned on again. They did not
hear the shouts and cries of their
fellow prisoners. Both men are rest
ing comfortably, and their complete
restoration to normal health is
thought to be very probable within
a few days.
Shut off from the upper world, the
men knew nothing of the catastrophe
that had killed so many of their COM
rades and imprisoned them. They
knew that something had severed
their connection with the crib. They
knew that beyond the air lock behind
which they had taken refuge the air
was too foul to breathe. Butthey sup
posed that the trouble was temporary,
Each day they expected to have their
comrades come down the tunnel bent
on rescue. When their signal for help
tapped on the air pipe was at last an
swered from the crib, Kest and Eu.
CINE were preparing to eat raw mule
meat. Their deliverance came in the
nick of time to make unnecessary this
desperate resort to keep them alive.
Atthe hospital Engine and Kest were
permitted to talk for a short time, and
they related some of their experiences
They said that they did not know that
there had been a fire and that they
could not account for their plight un'
less some accident had happened
which would soon be repaired. As The
time passed by, however, and hour.
heightened into days. the men were be
ginning to fear that they were doomed
to death either by starvation, s~uffoca'
ton or drowning. Their. tapping or
the pipe TO attract possible attention
was done with little hope of its being
heard, but fortune favored them and
their presence was realized when a
number of men who were at work re
pairing the burned crib heard the faint
noise away down under ground andim.
