ers sent from his court. no matter
what the date of their sentence, the
term of imprisonment was to count
from the date OF their entering the
penitentiary.
1t has been the practice to count the
sentence as commencing from the date
OF sentence. There are many instances
where appeals have been taken, as IN
the Tubbs case. hat several months
of the sentence have been spent by the
prisoner outside the prison. Take the
case of Frank Dorsey, the Nebraska
bank wrecker. who kept out OF the
penitentiary for nearly three years
after he was sentenced. It was pro-
posed to count the time that he was
fighting the case through appeals as
having been held, but. under Judge
Car,and's holding. Dorsey's term of m
.prisonrnent Will count from h date
which he entered the prison.
II is generally understood here that
Tubbs will make nc fight to get out of
the ~penitentiary. He consulted " OF
the leading lawyers of the city regard
ing the commencing OF an action for
his release on the grounds that he had
been once discharged, but he was ad-
vised that such q suit would stand no
chance Of a successful termination. Sc
he will take mis- medicine.

The illustrated postal card, which
seems to retain its vogue in Europe, al
though 1t never was a craze here, has
taken on a new phase, says the New
York Sun. Instead of views of scenery
or quotations, now there are photo
graphs of travelling friends or relatives
grouped In the familiar fashion of the
summer resort type. Many a vagrant
American has sent to this country dur
ing the summer such postal photo
graphs, which are an Improvement on
the old cards, in that they may be more
readily recognized. Ii is much more in
teresting to learn at a glance how Alne-
liza or n other member of the family
is looking than to look at a picture of
the shrine containing the bones of H.
900 virgins. So the new style OF card
has proved much more popular than its
predecessors.
