Eastern State Prison at PHILADELPHIA. the
Industrial School for Girls at Middletown
Conn. under the management of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fairbanks, and the Woman's Prison
at Sherborn, Mass. in charge of Mrs. Fran

The paper made particular mention of the
good discipline, perfect condition and eff
fcient management of the two last-named
institutions. and made several yaluable
suggestions for the Improvement of the
work and discipline OF the Indiana Wom-
ans Prison. Mrs. Coffin is particularly de-
sirous that the coming Legislature shall
make provision for the entire separation of
the Industrial School for Girls from this
Woman's Prison and provide for the former
on the cottage plan. as at Middletown
Conn.,. so that the girls may be graded In
divisions according TO age, Character and
conduct and be taught in cooking. sewing
and other useful employment, so that they
may become s~elf-supporting when they
leave the institution.

LIBEL LAW CONTROVERSY.
Demurrer Filed by the Attorney for
c. q. Conn, of

In the federal court yesterday a demurrer
was filed by c. G.. Conn. of Elkhart, to
the complaint OF Jules Levy. the cornetist.
who sued for $4,000 damages for libel.
Levy alleged that Conn. in his musical
papers. said false and defamatory things
about him. In a brief accompanying the
demurrer, Perry L. Turner, attorney for
Conn. says the complaint is deficient in its
facts, because ii does not allege that Levy
gave the notice Of libel required Under
the Indiana libel law. He says this law
is mandatory and prohibitory of the right
TO sue until such notice has been made.
s. N. Chambers, of Chambers. Pickens *
Moores, attorneys for Levy, hold that under
the Indiana law Conn's papers are not the
kind meant and that no notice was neces-
sary, and further that IL it had been made
Ii could only be used TO determine the
amount of damages. Mr.. Chambers said
the integrity of the Indiana libel law would
not enter into the litigation.

schism mt Simpson chapel.

The Rev. E. l.. Gillian, who was sus-
pended from the pastorate of Simpson
Chapel NJ. E. Church, colored, on charges
of immortality, attended services Sunday
and received about half of the
collection. The deposed minister has many
friends among his former congregation,
who, instead of placing their contributions
on the table in front of the pulpit, in which
the Rev. Mr.. Lock, of Shelbyville, was
preaching, many came to the pew of the
Rev. MIR. Gillian and handed him their
offerings. He received a little over $14,
while the amount of money placed on the
table was about SIS. Affairs at Simpson
Chapel are still in a condition very un-
settled, the friends of Gillian c~ontending
that he should be reinstated and his op-
ponents bitterly contesting such a step.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
ii. }. CALDWELL, OF BENTON COUN-
TY, IN THE CITY.
Wonderful Agriculture of
that Section Described-Scraps
from the Registers.

H. ]. Caldwell. newly elected Republican
representative from Benton county. was
at the Columbia Club yesterday. Mr.. Cald-
well is as firm in his faith in Benton county
as he is in the party he is affiliated with.
He loves to tell of the wonders of Benton
county. where corn and oats grow with
magic plenitude, and sawmills go bank
rupt.
why, there isn't enough timber in the
county" said he yesterday, Ito protect the
quails that we try to shoot in season. We
have $4,000 acres in Benton county, and
2I4,0Oo acres Of il are under cultivation. II
is producing ffty-one bushels of corn to
the acre and fifty-six of oats, and other
cereals in proportionate abundance. l am
giving you the statistics now by towns
ships, because Benton county has charac-
teristics like no other similar territory In
the world. There is nowhere as much land
worth 800 an acre or more that Is owned
by so few people. Ten people own over
$1,000 acres. Ii is made up of the Sumner.
Hawkins and Earl estates, one OF them
having 5000 acres alone. 1t is the old
prairie land. Between its rolling highlands
there used to be sloughs that made passage
difficult and dangerous. But II mas peen
drained. and Is now the richest country in
the corn belt. Only recently a f~our-nun-
dred-acre farm sold for Sis an acre. spot
cash; another for $40, and another for
$780,"
Mr.. Caldwell is himself the owner Of
about 1000 acres, and is a farmer in a large
way. He has his own ideas about needed
legislation. His idea is to correct the In
diana law that says seventy-two pounds
of ear corn is equivalent to one bushel or
shelled corn, except after Dec. l, when
sixty-eight pounds shall be a bushel. This
is saying said he, that a bushel Is not a
bushel, but that seventy-two pounds Is a
bushel. That is a specimen of the kind of
legislation made to help the poor farmer:
But, as a matter of fact, no elevator will
take less than eighty pounds for a bushel.
Consequently, we nave to buy corn by the
pound. without reference to its compare
tive result in shelled bushels"
While Mr.. Caldwell did not say so, II is
likely he may have something different to
offer the farmer in the way of making a
bushel a bushel.

Northern Traction Company. Both were
before the Council tonight asking for fran
chises for street lighting. Mr.. Marott's
proposition was referred TO the proper COM
