GREAT CRAFT WAS GOING ON
Deputy Warden Long of the 0hi'
Penitentiary On the Carpet.
He Attempts to Excuse Alleged Mis-
doinGs By the Pien That
Others DO II, Too.

Columbus, O., Sept 23.-The manag-
ers of the Ohio penitentiary have been
investigating charges against Deputy
Warden c. A. Long.
The complaint was that Long had
taken prisoners from the penitentiary
to his home, where they did repairing
and plumbing work. The charges are
based on the alleged conduct Of Long
during the administration of Warden
Darby To the board of managers Dep
uty Warden Long acknowledged :hat
he used prisoners, as charged, but, he
says, the complaint is exaggerated.
j. Evans, a 15-year-old prisoner, and
Zach Robinson, life-man for murder,
helped Long with his personal work,
The men were taken from the iEstitu-
tion, under charge of Guard Hartshorn,
to the Long home, 523 Armstrong
street, in the morning, and returied to
the institution in the evening, Evans
did work as a gastitter and plumber.
and Robinson was used as a jack of all
trades He hung paper, put up screen
doors, painted and performed like serv-
ices for the deputy.
At the meeting of the board Deputy
Long explained that he was not the
only man who took prisoners from the
penitentiary, and he said be had re-
ceiyed the consent of the former war
den. He admitted that the practice
was bad one, but, inasmuch as others
had proiited in the same way, he did
not see why he should be picked out
for complaint
The hearing developed also that
Deputy Warden Long had got ice from
the state ice house, and that the peni-
tentiary wagon had made the deliveries
to his home. In this connection. the
board has been informed that other
prison officials have taken provisions,
supplies and repairs from the peniten-
tiary.
The board acted on the Long matter
In executive session, and, SO far, no
official announcement has been made
Local labor organizations propose 10
get after the officials. The governor
may be asked to conduct a public in
yestigation.

a smaller design, with clever repre-.

elaborate design may be ordered, as

BAD FLAVORS IN EGGS.
They Are Caused by the Food the
Hens Eat and Change of Hn-
tt@n Cares the Evil.

Farmers have known for years that
when onions were fed to hens they i'm
parted their flavor to the eggs. Now, an
experiment station has very carefully
proved II by a thorough trial, but they
claim that it required some 10 days be-
fore they could detect the flavor. Their
onions or garlic must have been very
mild favored, or the hens were not very
hungry for them. When we learned it
by experience, throwing some partly de-
cayed onions into the henyard, 1t took
but a day or two to detect the flavor In
the egg, and in a week the egg had a
stronger flavor than a raw onion, says
the American Cultivator But then we
had not learned to give the hens green
food during the winter, only as we had
il from the table waste, which was not a
large amount, just cabbage leaves, par
ings OF roots and such material from a
small family. 1t does not take a week
to give a flshy flavor to eggs If hens are
fed freely on fish when hungry for ami
NAL food and 1t Is manifest all the
sooner II the fish is little stale, and de-
caying meat, not sweet enough for table
use, will flavor eggs just as quickly as
II does milk when fed to cows and we
only wonder that the experiment sta
ton should have thought it was neces-
sary to prove It, Now, they only need
another experiment to prove what 9TH
ers have proved long ago, that decay
ing meat or fish, If fed TO hens in SUM-
cient quantity, will cause rapid decay
Of eggs, or Of the flesh Of the fowl, If
they are slaughtered within from one
to three days after It has been fed And
yet the fowl while alive may seem none
the worse for It, and perhaps be none
the worse for 1t a week later II its use
Is discontinued, as the bacteria that
cause rapid decay cannot work in the
living body, and will perish there in
about week in healthy animal This
Is our reason for objecting to the raw
cut bone and meat, so much advocated
now, II fresh 1t Is all right except in the
point of cost, but decay has usually be-
gun In II before the poultry keeper can
buy IT, or he will buy enough to last
several days and II has had time to
acquire a bad odor and flavor and the
germs Of decay

WHO WILL WIN OUT?
Question That Is Now On the Lips
OF Every Washingtonian.
Triangular Fight for Senatorial ToEu
Is Causing Intense Rivalry De-
tween the People of Tacoma
and Seattle.

The "stevedore candidate" Edward
S. Hamilton, oil Tacoma. Wash, is the
most interesting figure In the approach
ing campaign for the honor of represent
ing the state of Washington in the Unit
ed States senate Hamilton, natural
political leader, man of long experi-

ers into line, has long been considered
probable successor of Senator Addison
c. Foster The expiration of Fosters
term is drawing near. and in the face of
considerable opposition, the genial SEN
ater is asking his constituents for re-
election. And now Hamilton. the steve
dore boss" although long a stanch
supporter of the incumbent, has come
forward with public announcement
OF his candidacy.
The Chicago Record Herald says that
the campaign is more than a personal
contest between Foster and Hamilton.
1t is strife between cities. for Seattle
and Tacoma are and always have been
keen rivals for this honor Foster is
Tacoma's man, and "Stevedore" Hamil-
ton mapped ont the campaign which
won him the office. Seattle already has
a candidate in the feld-Samuel Piles,
a clever corporation lawyer. The nat
ural result of Hamilton's intrusion Of
his personality into the fight will be to
split the strength OF the Tacoma clans
and to transform what had been an "old
guard" Of political power into two bick-
ering groups of partisans.

WILL WEAR PALLIUM
Bishop Glennon to Be Head of st.
Louis Archdiocese.
VIII he the Youngest Man In North
America to Occupy So Exalted
and Powerful a Position
In the Church.

Most Rev. John Joseph Glennon, who
became archbishop OF the diocese Of
St Louis upon The death of Archbishop
Kain, is one of the most interesting MS
ures in the Roman Catholic church in
America.
Although only Al years old, his sue
cess in his chosen field has been little
short of remarkable.
He will be the youngest archbishop on
the continent OF North America, and one
OF the youngest, if rot the youngest, In
the world
His youth, his perfect health and his
ability make him a formidable candi-
date for still higher honors within the
rank of the Catholic church. and 1t is
not at all improbable that he will some
day be cardinal.
With many years of active service be-
fore him, his chances for succeeding to
the American cardinalate are looked
upon as better than those of any other
archbishop in the Catholic church in
America.
Bishop Glennon was born in County
Meath, Ireland, Of aristocratic Irish par
ents. He was educated at All Hallows'
college. Dublin university, and came to
this country 20 years ago.
He finished his studies in Ireland, but
when he arrived in Kansas City, where
he had been called by Bishop Hogan, he
was too young for ordination.
He worked under Bishop Hogan for
one year, when he was admitted to the
priesthood and made assistant to Fa-
ther Dunno, then pastor of ST. Patrick's
church in Kansas City.
The Kansas City friends Of Bishop
Glennon well remember him as the
young ecclesiastic student. He was tall
had a clear-cut, frank countenance, Irish
blue eyes with wonderfully bright ex-
preston and clear pink complexion
that denoted his nativity.
In 1887, three years after his admis-
sion 10 the priesthood, Bishop Glennon,
