Girls Name Written on Shell
Leads to Courtship and
Marriage.

One year ago yesterday George
Malcom, of Cleveland, Ohio, sat
down to breakfast in the Yelling
ton Hotel, and picked up an egg
that bore, daintily penciled upon
it's shell, "Rose Edmond, Aberdeen,
Ohio" Mr.. Malcolm wrote to Miss
Edmond, received a reply and then
went to visit her. The romance
eliminated in their marriage. Mrs.
Malcom's father is the owner of
big poultry farm, and it was while
packing eggs that she was moved
to write the line that brought her
husband. Yesterday the couple ar
rived in Chicago on their honey
moon, and are stopping at the
Grand Pacific Hotel. To celebrate
the anniversary of the day they
met their fate Mr.. Malcolm and his
bride ordered a dinner entirely of
eggs Chicago Record Herald.
The above goes to show that the
average girl who is bent upon Sc
curing a correspondent and posi-
bly, husband, will succeed if 81 2 n
a pencil. 1t also proves the value
of a good egg since it Matched a
husband for the fair Rose. We will
not be as cruel as to suggest that it
was a goose egg that brought to
George an inspiration upon which
he acted promptly, or so to speak,
"Rose to the OCCASION" and for
which he will have to shell out for
the rest of his life. Eggs are east
ly broken, but oh, let's don't sup
pose, since George has made a
double and scored both egg and
Rose.

Excitement.

Great excitement was caused at
Colon by the arrival of the German
steamer Scotia flying the Colombian
flag. Twenty marines were landed
at once from the American gunboat
Dixie. Gen. Reyes and staff from
Colombia are supposed to be aboard
of the Scotia. Latest advices re-
ceived at Washington are that a
revolution in Colombia is not i'm
probable. The cruiser Mayfower
arrived at Colon Monday and the
Isthmians fear no attack from Co
lombia so long as American ships
guard the coasts.
Be careful of little things. II

The New Cup Challenger.

The English people are very per-
sistent in their efforts to recapture
the cup which the Americans have
held for so many years. Another at
tempt is to be made in the summer,
and to that end n new challenger is
being built. which is claimed will have
more speed than those used in the
past The result will be watched with
considerable interest by both sides.
There has also been much interest
manifested by the public in the mar
velous success made by the celebrat-
ed Hostetter's Stomach Bitters dur
ing the past so years. 1t has estab-
lished a record of cures unequalled
by any other remedy of such ailments
as heartburn, belching, Indigestion,
dyspepsia. constipation, insomnia,
nervousness or spring fever. If you
are a sufferer, we urge you to try a
bottle at once.

Patterson Went Among Them Taking
Notes" without Giving Notice.
Springfield Ills, March 2S.-Repre-
sentative Patterson will present TO the
house Monday report covering the
result of personal visits which he made
to the penal and reformatory inStitu-
tions of the state as chairman of the
committee on penal and refOrmatOry
institutions. In the opening paragraph
of his report Patterson says that he
made his visits to the institutions with
out having appriZed the superintend-
Cnts that he was coming. The report
gives Il comparative statement of the
number of employees with salaries. eX-
Guiding board and lodging, and the
number OF inmates for the same
months in the years 1896, 1859 and
1902.
The report also gives other statistics
regarding Il cost of the institutions.
but says that owing to the lack Of a
uniform system OF account-keeping it
is almost impossible to compare them.
Patterson says that he asked the SUI
perintendent Of the Pontiac reforma-
tory for his pay rolls for February.
1903. and July. 1901, but found him I'M
willing to furnish any facts except
that the employees OH July 30. 1901.
were 103. ana on February %, 1908.
were 105. On the other hand. he says
the wardenS aud superintendents at 10,
liet and Chester We're willing to an
swer every question. and their books
were in such condition that they could
do so at Il moments notice.
In this connection the report says:
Il believe the Illinois State Reforms
tory at Pontiac is slightly run. Dis
cipline should be more strictly enforced
ut n reform school than at peni-
Tertiary, for the reform school boys
may he made decent. while the ease
of the convict is often hopeless. Prob
ably. indeed, less in the way of dis
cipline should be demanded of the
criminal boy than the criminal man,
but what is demanded should be more
thoroughly eXacted from the boy. Dis
cipline may reform him; it only pun
ishes the man and keeps him in tenn
porary order
Patterson describes the discipline of
the older boys at the reformatory as
poor. In all of the shops he says a
considerable percentage of the boys
were loafiRg, while in some of them
the great majority of them were doing
so. In the school room he says the
boys lounged about in an vertebrate
fashion. and he describes some of
the school rooms as being dirty and
Uttered with paper. shavings and
chalk. He also says the grounds of
the institution are not well kept and
that there is an air of lazziness about
the place.

REPLY OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
To the Statement Made by Parker TO the
Senate.

ApropOs to this subject it may be
we'll to hear what Attorney General
Hamlin says in reply to Parkers state
ment. Said that official: Il desire to
say that so far as an examination of
my office is concerned, L have no OBJ
lection. but the resolution should in
clude all the state institutions and all
the state officers. The
financial affairs of my office are in
such condition that take pride in the
record | have made. The bill
for Il system of public accounting has
been passed by the senate, and that
the information asked for by Mr..
Parker in his resolution is entirely
uncalled for and can have no bearing
OH the matters before him.
This department receives no money
whatever from any source. and all pay
ments are made through the auditors
office upon bills certified by me and
warrants drawn by the auditor. y
full and complete account of the pay
ments f.om this Office are on file in the
auditors office, where Mr.. Parker
could easily hav eobtained them
Hamlin then said that during his alb
sence at st. Louis attending to the
drainage case. hiss assistant informed
him that Parker wanted the names
of parties to whom money was paid
where the same did not appear in the
list made in the auditors report. l
instructed my assistant to furnish him
the names except in the case of the
state of Missouri VS.. the sanitary dis
trict of Chicago and antitrust investi-
CATION, for the reason that these cases
Ere still pending, and also to say to
Mr.. Parker that it would not be COM
patible with the administra ton of my
office to furnish him any information
in connection with these cases until
their final disposition.
THE biennial report required to be
made by this office has been on file
made the LIST of January 81
Since the adoption of the constitution
of 1870 this office has never made any
semi-anual reports. The constitutions

ply only to officers who actually re-
ceive fees and other moneys from

for their office Section IS
of chapter of 102 of the revised stat

by the governor yesterday. Speaking
of the matter the governor said the

to him as it was to anybody else.
1t was true, he said-there had been
no conceaimert of the fact-that some
days ago he received Il communication
from Parker inquiring whether the
state officers and the state institutions
had filed their biennial report, in ac-
cordance with section 21 of article of
the constitution, and that i'll his reply
he stated that the attorney general had

Treat Catarrh in Spring.
The spring is the time to treat catarrh.
Cold, wet winter weather often retards
a cure of catarrh. If a course of Peruna
is taken during the early spring months
the cure will be prompt and permanent.
There can be no failures if Peruna is
taken intelligently during the favorable
weather of spring.
AS systemic catarrh remedy Peruna
eradicates catarrh from the system
wherever it may be located. 1t cures ca
tarrh of the stomach or bowels with the
same certainty as catarrh of the head.

prohnbls Basis of the story.

Subsequently. ut 4 meeting of the
state officers at which Secretary of
State Rose. Auditor Mccullough and
Attorney General Hamlin were pres
ent, the governor called attention not
only to section u, but also to section
20, which requires Semi-annual reports
from the state officers under oath of
all moneys received and expended.
This circumstance is well known, and
it is regarded as probable that it fur
nished the foundation for the news
paper statements to the effect that lie
had inspired the Parker resolution.

Another Statement Denie1.

The statement that the Information
regarding the attorney generals eX-
penditureS had been furnished eXclu-
siVely TO the governor is denied. The
governor says it is true that on the
2Tth day of February he asked and
received from the auditor a statement
of the amounts paid out by the attOr
ney general for special attorneys, in
connection with Il similar request made
to the auditor as to payments made
to attorneys of boards and commit
tees. not only during this administra-
ton but during the last six years 1t
is understood. in fact, that Il similar
statement was furnished ut about the

sons who had requested it.
