STUPID AS AS ENeLIsHMAN.
A Girl Who Gave Up Explaining Her

A GREAT PRISON HOUSE.


In the Fortress Of volterra, Italy, Aie
as Condemned Murdsrers.
The medieval fortress Of yolterra
is now formidable prison-house,
says the ST. james Gazette When last
! visited it there were 40 prisoners
within its walls, all OF thenlnmder-
crs. 1t IS an uncanny sensation to
look upon nearly 400 human beings,
each one of whom has taken the life
OF at least one other human being
One hundred and forty-nine Of them
were condemned for life, and that
meant murder of a brutal and cold
blooded description; the remainder
we're imprisoned for periods ranging
from Is to 30 years, and that would
mean murder with extenuating cir
cumstances-murder the result of in
constancy in a sweetheart, or frailty
in wife, OF faithlessness in a friend.
The confinement is vigorously soil
tary and cellular; the exercise courts
are cellular; there are cellular smith
les and cellular workshops: nay, the
very chapel is cellular Two tiers of
cells run one above the other, and the
prisoner in each, while unable to see
his fellow convicts, can through a
long narrow loophole see the altar
and the priest who is saying mass.
AS / walked round the ramparts of
the great fortress. Icould look down
into the rows Of high walled exercise
courts-not more than 10 feet by 10,
l should say-in each of which the
convict was taking the hour of exer-
else which he is allowed daily. Every
prisoner saluted respectfully, and
showed his white teeth in pleasant
smile, glad at the sight of any fresh
face. Italian prisons are models of
good order and cleanliness, and the
cheerfulness and natural patience Of
the Italian temperament does much
to Tighten the labor Of Italian prison
officials. The conyicts get two full
meals of beans, lentils, or paste,
cooked in lard, and meat on Sundays
and holidays Every prisoner may
spend 25 centisimi a day if he has it
or can earn it; therefore wine is by
no means an unknown luxury in the
prison.
The system of rigorous solitary
confinement leads to frequent cases
of madness. Indeed there is often
talk of the Italian government abol-
ishing the system on account of the
great expense of maintaining numer-
GUS criminal lunatic asylums

FOWLER SUSTAINED.
Attorney General Says Magistrate
May be Elected.

Frankfort, Ky, Sept. 4-Attor-
ney General Pratt has on request of
Gov. Beckham construed the law as

fees as Police Judge and Justice of
Peace at the coming November cleo
ton. He holds that such vacan-
cies can only be filled in the Appel
late Court districts in which
there is to be an election this fall
for Judge of the Court of Appeals,
and that where a Police Judge or
Justice of Peace appointed more
than three months ago is not in one
OF these appellate districts he holds
over until the regular election in
November. The question arose in
Edmonson county. The decision
has a bearing on the question rails

The rleanest Man.

The meauest man in Kentucky
doubtless lives in Mercer county
A few days ago Mr. c. F. Vanars'
dali, who resides three miles from
Harrodsburg, went into his pasture
to catch his mare to drive. On lead
ing her to water he noticed she put
her head into the pool nearly up
to her eyes before she was able to
swallow. When he reached the
barn the mare made an unsuccess-
full effort to eat hay. He then
opened her mouth and was horrifed
to find that some scoundrel had cut
her tongue out by the roots. The
perpetrator of this ,dastardly deed
deserves the same punishment.
Furthermore, it is astonishing that
such persons are permitted to live.

The statement that no man is stronger than
his stomach will appeal to every man who
has ever suffered from stomach vtrouble.v
He will remember the growing feeling of
weakness until he was hardly able to crawl
around, and could work only occasionally.
and then with difficulty. The danger Of
dyspepsia roots III the fact that when disease
attacks the stomach and other organs of di-
gestion and nutrition the whole body must
be the sufferer, for when the stomach is dis
eased and the digestive processes are imper-
fectly performed, there is a sure loss of nutri-
ton which is felt by every organ of the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other or
gans of digestion and nutrition. It makes
strong men because it makes strong" stom-
achs, and enables the proper digestion of
food and the perfect assimilation Of the nutri-
ton contained in the food.
vI have taken six bottles of Golden Medical Dis
covery and four five walls of the little PelletsD
writes Mr. A. J. underwater, of 8zs West Division
Street. Chicago Ill. II am happy to say they have
done me worlds of good. These medicines have
made great change IN me from slow Nope Of a
that could hardly crawl, tired and sick all the
time, could DO 10 work, to who can work
sleep, eat and feel hne, and that tired feeling all
gone away. Golden Medical Discovery and little
PELLETS have almost made new man of me. I
feel young as did at thirty years.

STATE PRIMARY.
1t is Reported That the Sentiment

And save your health.

Frankfort, KY, Sept 1.-The
sentiment against a primary in
lieu of a delegate convention to
nominate Democratic candidates
for state Offices, and the question as
to whether or not the primary can
be called under party law, seems to
have hit the primary faction solar
plexus blow and it looks as if there
is small chance of t'eir having il
called. A prominent Democrat said
to day that he believed if a state
ticket should be nominated by a
primary the disruption oil the party
would be such that there would be
a strong probability of the defeat
of the ticket in the general election,
especially as the candidates put on
the stump would probably be plu-
rality and not majority, selections
of the party.

1t was sufficient proof that the Span
iards were not making an advance upon
the American trench that the guns on
Fort Malate' continued in action. This
they would not have dared to do with
their own men out between the lines. But
il was still more conclusive proof that,
when daylight came, the supposed field of
action was not strewn with the bodies of
dead and wounded nor the scattered ac-
cOuterments of the fighters. Under the
circumstances, with the Americans firing
long after the Spaniarls had ceased. and
with them on the watch the rest of the
night. it would have been impossible for
the Spaniards to have carried off their
dead and wounded or to have picked up
the discarded accouterments something
they would not have attempted to do in

No one who witnessed the fight or saw
the ground between the two lines the next

their trenches. We who knew from ex-

A Large Pension Check.

VIM. D. Calkins, Co. A, 18th Pa, Der
rick City, Pa, last week received check
from the Pension Bureau for $500 50,
accrued pension from Jan. Is, 1889. on ac-
count of total blindness, the result of
shell wound received at Antietam, Sept
II, 1862. COmrade Calkins in 1888 was
pensioned at $40 by special act of Con-
gress, but believing himself entitled to the
So rate, on Jan. Is, 1889, filed an applica-
ton, alleging total blindness. This was
rejected Feb. 20. 1889, the Bureau holding
that blindness had not been proven of
service origin. COmrade Calkins appealed
the case to the Secretary of the Interior,
and proved by witnesses that at the battle
of Antietam he received wound which
affected his eyes almost Immediately. and
from which he became totally blind two
weeks later; that he had frequent spells
of blindness from time to time until June,
1883, when he became permanently blind
No action was taken on the appeal until
Feb. 26, 1902. when the papers were re-
turned to the Pension Bureau for the adj
yisory opinion of the Medical Referee.
The Bureau receded from its former de-
cision, the appeal was dismissed, and the
papers returned to the Pension Bureau for
action. The result was that pension was
allowed. and the check mailed to Comrade
Calkins. Comrade E. r. Sherman, Of
Bradford, Pa, represented the claimant.
