MONEY EARNED BY CONNECTS Larger Sum Than For
 Any Quarter. REPORT OF THE BOARD It Covers First Three Months
 of 1904. During This Time $e7 7,232.32 Was : Cleared Up After Expenses Were
 Paid-Health of State
 Wards is Good.

The first quarterly report of the State Convict Department for the year 1904 submitted to the Governor yesterday makes a splendid showing for the de- partment. The report shows that 1t turned in during the first three months of the year more money than 1t has ever before paid into the State Treasury dur ing the same period.
 The net receipts exceeded any of the gratifying quarters of last year when the plan of working the State convicts under State supervision was first inau- gurated. President Carmichaers report shows that in the one quarter the Con- vict Department paid into the treasury more money than it did for an entire year during the old time system of leas- ing convicts to mine operators.
 The report also gives evidence that the physical and moral surroundings of the convicts have materially improved. Con- ditions at Vinegar Bend wheNe the con- tracts with the County of Mobile by the operators was revoked, are shown by the report to be altogether satisfactory to the Convict Department.
 The report in full is as follows:
 Montgomery, Ala. April 13. 1904. Hon. William D. Jelks, Governor:
 
 44s9 of the Code of Alabama, now sub init my quarterly report, for the quarter ending March 31, 1904 I beg to say that at no time during the administra- ton has the condition of the convicts been better than at present, perhaps not as good.
 The continued purpose of the Board of Inspectors is to improve as much as may be. the condition of the convicts. The death rate Is unusually small. With up- wards of 1.S00 convicts we are obliged to suffer some losses from mortality.
 with the approval of your excellency we employed the Rev. J. J. D. Hall as an Instructor and Chaplain for the convicts employing in mining and 1t affords me pleasure to say that he has been regular ly installed and is doing a good work, one which will be beneficial to the De- partment even from a financial stand point, to say nothing of the questions of morals and religion which are involv- ed.
 Each of the inspectors during the quarter has performed the usual duties, the President giving attention to the general supervision of the Department and discharging the duties in detail of the office.
 ''The Physician Inspector Hon. Shirley Bragg has given attention to the classi- fication, inspection and health of the con- victs and Hon. Thomas Bradford inspect ing the several posts where the con- victs are kept, and looking after their in- terest in that way.
 ''It will be remembered that some time since considerable trouble was encounter

ed at Vinegar Bend, with the Vinegar Bend Lumber Company Your Excel iency at the instance of the Board, set aside the Vinegar Bend Lumber Company and Mobile County contract. A stay of the proceedings was asked for and ob tained from your excellency and the Board, and negotiations opened looking to- the retention of the convicts by the Venegar Bend Lumber Company. The negotiations resulted in giving the Board the absolute control and management of the saw milling camps of the. Vinegar Bend Lumber Company and today the convicts at that point are we'll cared for under the management of MT. J. J. Meadows, who has been appointed to be warden at that point, responsible alone to the Board for his conduct I am safe in saying that no convicts in the State are better cared for than those at Vinegar Bend.
 "The new contract made at Dunham with the Durham Lumber Company is proceeding satisfactorily. The men are healthy, are doing good work and realiz- ing a good profit in money to the State of Alabama. In fact every contract made by the Board, since the last quarter is an improvement upon anything of like character heretofore made.
 "The agricultural operations are fairly inaugurated and seem to bid fair to be as successful as at any time heretofore.
 While not specially called upon by law to submit anything in relation to the financial operations of the Depart ment, have yielded to the inclination to furnish the figures showing the results of the operation during the quarter The next quarter. may say. will not show as great results. by a few thousand dol lars. perhaps. as the present one, because of the fact that the present figures em- brace teh cotton crop and few thousand dollars collected. which came over from the last calendar year.
 "The total receipts from January 1st, 1904 to March 31st. 1904. are $13S,344 37. Of that sum. there has been disbursed $A, 11205, leaving the balance of net re- ceipts of the Department for three months to be s97.2S2.S2. All of which is respectfully submitted
 "very respectfully, your Excellency's obedient servant,
 "J. M. Carmichael. President"
 The Executive Department is highly gratified with the results from the opera tion of the Convict Department for the first three months of the year.

. STUDENTS HAVE FUN.

Fool the Public With Empty Candy
Boxes
People walking about the center Of the
city last. evening were much amused
with the antics of some students The
students walked about in body, each
man having what appeared to be a
pound box Of a well known firms most
high priced chocolates under his arm.
whenever crowd of young women
came along the men were seen to hurl
their boxes at either a doorway or a
post, while the ladies who were watch
ing would hold their breath, thinking
what a shame it was to destroy the
sweets. Their feelings quickly changed
when they heard the boxes land, for
they were all empty. The boxes were
sealed and appeared to b tn genuine
article, but they were only limitations
used for show windows.
when the students got tired Of throw
ing the boxes about they attached a
thin thread to them. When walking
along in front of somebody one of them
would apparently drop his box, and
when the person behind started to pick
Ii l1p the owner pulled the string A
good laugh was then In order. One
good natured Celt, who was fooled in
this manner, said: BE jabbers that's
wan on me, but it seems good to see
the boys back, even If they do be up
to their ould thricks. Z

AZ the New haven Theater.

The Brothers Byrne are famous the
world over for their enormously funny
Inventions in the line of acrobatic nov
present concentration Of the best Of
ltheir ideas and offer it to the amuse-
lment-loving public as a production par
excellence. There is a laugh in every
minute of the performance from the
rise to the fall of the curtain, and at
the New Haven theater last night an
Iaudience which well filled that capa-
cious house smiled, laughed and
screamed at the ridiculously funny an
tics and actions of the several brothers
and their excellent company.
While Eight Bells was originally
built as a vehicle for the introduction
OF the novelties OF the famous brothers,
yet it carries with it a plot of some
depth and considerably more than is
needed to support the acrobatic feat
ures. Yet these are the features of the
show and some marvellous things are
done with apparently the slightest ef-
fort by the company Of, sacrobats ana
4 pantomimists. There is more action
and life crowded into the three acts Of
Eight Bells than is be found in a
dozen or more plays, of a similar ma
ture. Not only this, but the work of
each Is of the best, and last night long
land loud applause greeted the efforts.
] Besides the features of the play as
Ioriginally built, a number of pleasing
and wonderful specialties are introduce,
ed Harry e. Baker in a dancing spe-
Icialty and the Bachelor sisters in mu-
steal melange of singing and dancing
lWere very acceptable in the second act,
while the john Byrne troupe Of aero
bats and LePage, the great jumper,
were the principal attractions of the
third act. The haunted house, the car

ling ship, the fire scene, and the lively
lstatues are all pieces OF wonderful
mechanism which bring shouts Of Joy
