FLOWERS FOR coMvIcTs.


Henry Phipp~ Provides a Diveraion
Tor renitentIary Prisoners.
Henry Phipps, the pittsburg philan,
thropist has donated 5000 for the
erection OF a conservatory on the
grounds Of the Western penitendary
ia Pennsylvania for the use Of the
prisoners Of the Institution, says the
Philadelphia Press.
The idea Is that the conservatory
VIII be boon to life prisoners. This
donation gives assurance OF the com.
pletion Of d project that has been
discussed for years by members Of
the prison board. at each session OF
the legislature an appropriation for q
greenhouse has been asked for and has
always been refused.
James r. Reed, who has been a
member Of the board for almost TWEEN
to years, was instructed to get into
communication with Mr.. Phipps reia-
tive to the project. Mr. Phipps de-
sired to know to what uses the build
ing would be put and particularly
whether the prisoners would be per
mitted to see and cultivate the flowers
and plants. On being assured that i
was the intention Of the board to give
the management Of the conservatory
to the inmates Mr.. Phipps replied that
work should commence as quickly as
possible.
For many years il has been the GUS
tom to give to each life prisoner
small plot Of ground in the prison yard
in which to raise that species Of vege-
table life that lie most favors. This

Pratt. the present occupant of the office, who is also the nominee of the democratic party to succeed himself, and James L. Gardner. who Is running as an independ- ent candidate. The two candidates met here in joint debate and spoke to a fairly good audience for about four hours, dis cussing various Issues of the campaign, At times the speakers grew very personal in their remarks and hit telling blows. but aside from a few personal epithets, the whole affair passed off very pleas- antly
 .odays speeches were the first of a large number that will be delivered throughout the county during the next three weeks. Both candidates have many personal friends. While Judge Pratt seems to be at a great advantage in hay ing the democratic party behind him. yet Mir Gardner is proving himself good campaigner and a foeman worthy the steel of his distinguished opponent.
 Randolph will soon have rural free delivery route In operation, which will he a great advantage 10 people HVlns nortf and east of town. The route will be about twenty miles long and will supply tnickly populated sections of Bibb and Chiffon counties.
