We have heard that Kalispell is to

news hive there whispered it to every
bird and flower and they in turn have
told it abroad to the people. No

THE PRISON FARE.
What Convicts at Deer Lodge Have
to Eat.

to Eat.
With three meals day and those
meals far better than the prison fare
allowed in many penitentiaries, the
life of Montana prisoner is not alto
gether unhappy, unless he be a man
of the finer sensibilities that revolt
at the thought of being deprived of
liberty.
These remarks are prompted by a
perusal of the contract between the
state and Conley & McTague for the
care of the convicts. The new con-
tract went into effect June 16 and is
to run two years. Under this the con-
tractors are to receive As cents per
day for each of the convicts, and in
return must safely keep and care for
the criminals who are committed to
their custody. The contract goes into
the minutest details, even prescribing
the hours of the various meals. For
instance, breakfast is to be served
at Z o'clock, dinner at IL and supper
at 6, except in winter, when it shall
be served just preceding darkness.
And the contract contains the
menu, not for one day, but for every
day in the week and each meal in
the day. The list was not prepared
by a French chef, but by some one
who knows what is good and whole
some food for prisoners who are moi
given to work Here is what the con
tract provides shall be fed to the con
victs:
Monday-Breakfast, mush and milk

The American Labor union is eX-
tending it's territory of action rapid
ly. Since the adjournment of the
convention application for member
snip in this advance body comes from
all sections and climes of the coun-
try. The new cause of the organiza-
ton is attracting that class of toilers
who recognize that the forward move
ment of the American Labor Union
has something tangible about it to
overcome in a complete manner the
obstacles that under the present so
cial conditions despoil and exploit
the great mass of working people
This incentive before long in power
and strength will parallel, if it will
not entirely absorb the American

AN APPEAL TO LOCAL PRIDE.
BY John w. Ross, District Commissioner.

Under the terms of the act of March p 1897. IAN
act for the removal of and ice from the sidewalks
walks, and cutters in the District of Columbia
and for other purposes, it is made the duty of the
Commissioners of the District of Columbia Immediate
ly after every fall of snow. the be
moved from the walks to the width of ten feet
and from out of the cutters the breadth of one
foot.
1t is the practice of the Commissioners, after fall
of snow, to start force of work in accordance
with the terms of this act possible. in order
to facilitate the approach of pedestrians to the street.
car lines. and to make the crossings passable
The opening of cutters is of the utmost Importance,
nasmuch the sidewalks required to be cleaned
by the adjacent occupants, and the removed
herefrom necessarily obstructs the cutters. In
of sudden thaw if the cutters be opened the
suit may be the flooding of the sidewalks and of base
ments of houses adjacent. The matter therefore bes
comes one of the greatest Importance
During the blizzard of 1899 accommodations of
were great that Congress passed emergency
ures which provided an appropriation of thrty-two
thousand dollars for getting rid of the great accumua
ons of Upon the occasion of the recent fall of
snow it has been gratifying to observe the apparent
Willingness the part OF most of the citizens charged
The Washington times., 1902-01-31

with the duty of having the removed from the
sidewalks in front of their premises to comply with
the law.
The greatest difficulty arises in the case of vacant
lots In such the police charged with the
duty of asceraning who may be the owners of those
lots and of notifying them in accordance with law to
the snow in other the sand or earth
which has fallen upon the sidewalks. The duty so
imposed upon the police becomes real hardship IN
view of the of accurate records in their posses
sion and by of the many changes of ownership,
especially in suburban lots.
- Under existing law the cost of removing earth or
from the sidewalks in front of such lots Is as
sessed against the property as tax believe that IL
would be well for Congress to appropriate sufh-
oent of money and authorize the Commissioners
to all such deposits in the first instance, and
afterward the cost upon the adjacent prop
erty.
The want of such appropriation now makes it
difficult have the removed. nasmuch as the ap
preparation is not sufficient TO open the cross
walks and cutters. But without laws it seems to
that the people who property in beautiful city
should have enough local pride to induce them to see
that the sidewalks in front of any property owned by
them should be kept free from and from deposits
of mud and gravel which fall upon them.

when some of the crew, who had come
ashore for water, ambushed and seized
him in spite OF his brave resistance. They
carried him aboard the ship and put out

passed were numbeIless, but he was never
allowed TO leave the vessel except under
escort of some OF the pirates. At last he

EncozeS.

Lovers of the drama in some cities
| are beginning to contend that the en-
core flend ought to be suppressed;
I that it is unfair to the actors to
make them do parts of a play over
half dozen times when the audience
has only paid to see the play through
once. The problem of how to stop
the "fend'' from getting what he
wants remains TO be solved.
Some actors have laid down rule,
and adhered to ) it with reasonable
firmness, that they will not respond
to curtain calls by raising the cur
tain on a, death nscene. 1t does seem
rather absurd, when one thinks OF it,
| to see the actor or actress who has
just died in all the impressiveness of
stage effect hop up and come before
the curtain to bow gratitude to the
audience: and now and then premature
raising of the curtain affords chance
to see the resurrection of the de-
funct in a manner highly diverting
but not very artistic.
The encore problem, however. is
slightly different. Some audiences are
bit saucy about this. They have
grown to expect second or third rem
dition of anything which they partic-
ularly like, and refuse to take no
for an answer, or consider the fact
that the actors are doing all the work
they consistently can in the course
of the regular performance, and
should not be overtaxed by being re-
quired to repeat parts of it as a
matter of course. When an actor
shows determination not to give
an encore it seems as if that ought
10 be enough to silence the demand.
There is another side to the matter.
of course. The actors themselves
would probably be considerably dis
appointed in some cases if deprived of
yociferous applause when they have
learned to expect it. Perhaps they
would rather do the work over again
than feel that the house was In any
way chilly. On the whole, it seems to
be one of those questions which n.ust
remain self-adjusting.

Lnnham's Prospective Retirement
Recalls Interesting "Reminiscences.
Now that Hon. Thomas n. Campbell. of
Palestine, Texas, has withdrawn from the
race for Governor of the Lone Star State
Representative Lanham, it is said. will
have walkover for the nomination.
Judge Lanham will be the second Texan
in recent years to leave the House to step
into the Governors chair at Austin. Gov
ernor Sayers. after serving number of
years in the House and making brill
liant record. left Congress for the gov
ernorship OF his State. and now Judge
Lanham will follow suit. With the re-
tirement of the judge there will be left
but one Democrat who was a member of
the House when he first entered Con-
gress-the Forty -eighth-and that Demo-
crat is Representative Rice A. Pierce. of
Tennessee. On the Republican side of the
House there are only ten members who
were members of the Forty eighth Con-
gress. They are Speaker Henderson and
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa, Cannon and Hit of
Illinois, Bingham of Pennsylvania. the
father OF the House," Steele of Indiana,
and Payne, Ray, Wadsworth, and Ketch-
am of New York. These twelve gentle
men will get together in a few days
around the festive board and have re-
union, so to speak Speaker Henderson
will probably preside, although the honor
may be bestowed upon the father OF the
House." Representative Bingham.
1t may be remarked in passing that
each and every one of the well-known
twelve who were in the Forty eighth Con-
gress occupy important and influential
committee places.

The peon system is. of course. still in

Plantation owners can keep them in SER

when a peon. who is in arrears with his
employer. runs away but little is thought
of 1t, and there is no attempt to capture
him. 1t is the cheapness of labor that

Sugar is grown in the hot regions bor-

going into the business unless one has
plenty OF means or can get in with COM

pies OF consolidated interests, and are
conducted as methodically as city street

plantations is consumed in Mexico. and
so the matter of foreign tariffs is of no

CONVERSION OF GAINES, JR.-
Result of the Tennessee Represen-
tative's Trip to the Philippines.

Representative John Wesley Gaines, of
Tennessee, one Of the members Of the
House who made the Congressional trip
to the Philippines last year. was accom-
panied by son of tender years, who up
held the policy Of the United States in
the Philippines when he went on his long
journey. But his mind was plastic, and.
under the tutelage Of his distinguished
father, young Gaines returned to Wash
ington with ideas favoring the indepen-
dence Of the Filipinos. Another weighty
problem that caused him some perturbaE
tion was the Boer war. =
Reaching Colombo, Ceylon, where a
number of Boer prisoners are exiled, in
company with his father, young Gaines
called upon the British Governor GEN
eral. Gaines pere asked this official tor
gun used by the Beers In their engat'e-
ments against John Bull" He was t',ld
that there was no such weapon to be
had, but was given a rife used by ttse
British soldiers against the Beers. he
did not want the relic, and handed it to
his son. Returning to the ship. Repre-
sentative Gaines told his son he could
keep it, but to be careful and not let il
get out of his play room He would not
permit any undue display of the gun
about the house. but should he ever be
able to get a Boer gun it would receive
all the comforts of home and would have
the liberty Of his establishment.
