State Prison Makes Money.

Raleigh, N. c., Jan. 2.-The bien-
nial report of the state penitentiary,
made to Governor Aycock yesterday,
shows that two years ago the legisla-
ture appropriated 100000 to pay pen
itentiary debts contracted under pre-
vious fusion administration. OF this
amount $4,000 was expended. The
penitentiary now has this balance of
$4,000 in cash and other net assets
which makes the total over $50 900
for the two years. Part of the assets
are 225 bales of cotton. There are no
debts. This Is by far the best show
ing ever made. The 400 convicts
who are building railway in Mich
ell county will be taken from that
work Jan. 90. 1t is very cold on the
side of the mountains, and a number
have died of pneumonia. 1t was ex-
pected that the work would by this
time be ON this side of the mountains.
but it is slower than expected.

Garry.
Washington, Jan. 2.-The condition
which President Castro attached to
his response to the allies arbitration
proposal was in the nature of an al
tentative proposition. Almost from
the beginning showing an aversion to
The Hague tribunal, Castro, while ac-
cepting the principle of arbitration,
asked that the case be tried by one
of the American republics. As Pres
ident Roosevelt already had declined
TO act In the capacity of arbitrator,
and some of the reasons which inspir-
ed him in his declination would apply
of any other American state than the
United States, he was obliged to with
hold any Endorsement of this PROPOSE
ton of President Castro. Therefore
it may be dismissed from the field of
possibilities and unless President Cas-
tro is unexpectedly insistent upon his
own plans, che original proposition Of
reference to The Hague tribunal will
carry.
There were no developments over
New Years day in the way of cable
grams containing news from European
capitals or from Venezuela.

The human heart, that most wonderful
OF engines, is scarcely larger than mans
list. Yet IN each twenty-four hours the
dual heart moves approximately six tons
of blood, equivalent to about two barrels
of blood per hour. And this continues
without ceasing from the first breath of
infancy to the last sigh of age. Is it any
wonder that when continued extra strain
is put upon so delicate and busy an or
gan, it should break down? Is it any
wonder that in this age of overwork
there should be an increasing number of
deaths attributed to heart failure

San Francisco, Jan. 2.-San Fran.
cisco and Honolulu are now connected
by cable.
The first words passed under the
ocean few moments after II o'clock
last night. The wires worked per
fectly.
The Silvertown, just before splicing
the ends, some 80 miles off shore
from Honolulu. telegraphed both ways
for the land stations to wait until
11:10 o'clock, San Francisco time, be-
fore trying the cable. That time was
desired to insure the perfect harden
ing of the gutta percha in the splice
after the joint would be lowered over
board from the ship in about $500 feet
of water.
Operators sat anxious1y and eagerly
about the instruments in King street
at Honolulu and in the cable office
on Market street in San Francisco
waiting for the time limit to expire.
San Francisco was watching for Hon
olulu to signal first. A few minutes
after IL o'clock before the time linn
1t was up, a signal went from this
end to Honolulu.
The first little response from Hon
olulu came into San Francisco at ex-
actly 1903 o'clock. 1t was exactly
Sal o'clock in Honolulu, the time
difference being two hours and %
minutes and a few seconds.
The first message received was from
Governor Dole to President Roosevelt
It was merely a formal greeting and
congratulation from the people of Ha-
wall to the people Of the United States
from one chief executive to the other
The message was transmitted at the
Market street office to wire lead
ing directly to the executive mansion
at Washington, and receipt was ac.
knowledgeds at 11:25 O'Clock
When the message reached the
White House President Roosevelt
was asleep, and they refused to awak-
en- him.
Soon there came a second message
from Honolulu. 1t was greeting
from the people of Hawaii to Clarence
II. Mackay, president of the Cable
company, congratulating him upon
the completion of the cable and ex-
pressing sorrow that John w. Mack
ay had not survived to see the in

message was signed Henry E. Cooper,
secretary of the territory of Hawaii
Then came message from the Asso-
ciated Press on the Silvertown, tell
ing of the successful laying of the ca
Bile and of the celebration of the event
in Honolulu. The paper ribbon con-
tanning the record OF the first expert
mental work between San Francisco
and Honolulu was cut into little sec
tion of a few inches each and divided
among the SIRE of spectators who
were assembled about the instruments
when San Francisco and Honolulu
first spoke to each other under the
Pacific ocean. The line will be open

Spectacles in Germany.
From the London Chronicle.

The German emperor has entered upon a
new phase Of his development, II we are to
believe the statement that he was lately
seen reading the newspapers in a railway
train with the help Of a pince-nez. Nor is
this to be wondered at when we remember
the lament once made by the kaiser him
self, who, speaking Of his school days at
Cassel, remarked that out Of a class of
twenty mo fewer than eighteen Of his fell
low-pupils wore spectacles, while two of
these. with their glasses on, could not even
see the length of the table" AS compared
with other nations, the Germans may be
described a spectacle-wearing people,
and there can be doubt that the main
cause of their defective sight is the peculiar
character of their type. which is most try
ing to the eyes, The present emperor, no
less than Bismarck has always protested
on patriotic grounds against the substitu-
tion of the Roman for the Teutonic, or
black letter, character in print. and both
have had to suffer equally for their Chauv-
inism.
