The prison record of Alabama shows
that the death rate of convicts for the
time during Republican rule in Alabama
was something horrible. Commencing
with Governor Houstops administration
the rate was As2 for six years and for
the past two years 1t was a little over 4
per cent. For the first year of Governor
Smiths Republican administration-'6s SO
lit was 17.O6 per cent. and in the second
years. '70-it was 4l.OI. In that memo
rable year ninety-two convicts died, and
only 1856 were in prison at end of year In
1873 under Governor Lewis, Republican,
the rate was 40 per cent. 1t is now
down to per cent.

ing, at 5 o'clock. He had been sick but
short time and on the fact being developed
that he was suffering from what was
termed walking typhoid fever, he was
sent to Sibley Hospital, where everything
was done to stay the disease, but his phys
ical energy was so wasted and his constitu-

cumbed to the inevitable, and after an i'll
ness of only four days, peacefully passed
away.
Mr.. Debus' home was in st. Louis, Mo-,
and three years ago he received an ap-
pointment in the government printing office.
Two years ago he married, his wife being
Missourian, and made Washington his
home, living at 27ha Bates street northwest.
He was member of the National Union
and of Century Lodge, K. of p, and was
recently elected a member Of King David

FROM the Baltimore American.
Now that vacation time is in its height
Il is interesting to note few of its pc
culiarities. Just there are many people
who take their pleasures sadly, so there
are quite as many. if not more who take
their rest laboriously. The idea of stop
ping work for complete rest-so complete
that custom has made the idea almost syn
onymous with that of change-that new
scenes shall engage our attention and keep
the usual work of life in the background,
is one so self-evidently sensible that there
Is hardly need to dwell upon it, But in the
present condition OF our crowded modern
existence rest, from simple natural ne
cessity. has become an art which only a
comparatively few have mastered.
The society" rest which consists in ex-
changing marble city mansions for palatial
marble cottages" in populous summer re-
sorts, in giving big dinners and entertain
ments, in planning new social victories, in
designing handsome new costumes and vie
Ing with rivals to win the pair. for social
eminence-in short, merely changing the
ordinary life of th5 year in locality and
not in substsIce-is a poor travesty of the
real a-,>icle and it is small wonder that Oc-
Casionally social leaders break down under
the strain of their summer rest
Similar in nature is the rest OF the busi-
ness man Of vast interests who goes 10
Europe on his private yacht, only to medi-
tate on new commercial conquests on the
way and seize every opportunity of putting
them into execution when arrived. So is
that of the humber business man or pro-
fessional or teacher whose mind is con-
tinually on his work, or who fritters away
the moments of precious idleness in per-
nicious mental industry IN plans for the
future rebuilding of the past Equally
mistaken is the man who takes his Vaca-
ton very much as he would take a pill
merely from an idea that 1t is necessary to
repair the waste of tissue, physical and

From Dysentery.

An epidemic of dysentery is reported
at Auburn. Within the last two weeks

of which number five have died. The

rounding country for about three miles.

DR.. 7. H. Peers was called to Auburn
yesterday to consult with DR.. circuit
over the case of Mrs. Will Baxter and
child, IS months old. Both are critically
i'll, and the child is not expected to live.
DIR. Peers thinks the cause of all the
sickness is the bad water. Some of the
wells are so low that only two-thirds of
a bucketful can be drawn up at a time
In other wells the water has a dirty
green color and is entirely unfit to
drink The situation is daily becoming
worse, and if heavy rains do not bring
relief soon there is no way to estimate
how much disaster the epidemic may
cause. Among those who have died in
the past two or three weeks are: Child
of Bid Burton; child of w. w. Dyche
brother of Prof Dyche at the state I'M
iversity; child of a Mr.. GroSe; child of
Jess Burton.
