CAMPBELL IS PAROLED
MOBILE CONVICT GOES TO SEE
 DYING MOTHER.
He is Serving Term at Vinegar Bend and Was Given Temporary Liberty by Governor
 Jelks.

Iesse Campbell, a young white convict of Mobile was granted a parole of ten days yesterday by Governor Jelks, that he might go to the bedside of his dying mother.
 Campbell is confined at Vinegar Bend. News of the action of the Governor was aeiegraphed the gconvict authorities at Vinegar Bend yesterday and 1t is thought that Campbell will be with his mother this morning.
 The parole was granted upon the re- oiest of Judge O. J. Semmes before whom Campbell was tried and convicted. Campbell was serving a sentence of two years at hard labor for assault with in tent to murder He has serve1 nearly a year of that sentence.
 In granting the petition the Governor endorsed it as follows:
 ''At the request of the trial judge and because of the dying condition of his mother. this prisoner is paroled on the condition that at the end of ten days from this date he report again to h'G present place of imprisonment"
 Two previous favors of this kind have been shown by the Governor in the past year to white convicts under similar cir cumStaces. Thomas Dower, a white con- vict, was allowed to go to Mobile and see his child who was reported dying. Tom CrIttenden, a Montgomery County con- Vict, was permitted to go to his home in the lower portion of the County to be with his father who was reported des- perately i'll.
 Tn each instance the convict returned within the time appointed by the Cover nor.

 washington, March 1.-The Senate be- gan business by passing a resolution oirecting the Interstate Commission to furnish the Senate with report Of changes in railway traffic rates for each year since 1889. comparing the revenues receiVed from them with the gross ana net revenues that would have been TO- ceived by the railroads under the rates of 1899.
 A bill providing for the enlargement or the federal building at Asheville, N. C.. and an appropriation of $60,OO0 for the purpose was passed.
 MT. Hepburn gave notice that on next Wednesday he would take up the pure food bill
 MT. Carmack's resolution calling upon the secretary for papers bearing on the nomination of H. Smith Wooley to be superintendent of the assay office at Boise. Idaho. was then laid before the Senate and Mir. Carmack took the floor to make an argument in support of 1t, when MT. Hoar, interrupting, made the suggestion that as the resoluaion bears on nomination 1t should be considered in executive session.
 "On that question I desire to be heard" said MT. Carmack. If there is second I understand that the mo- tion is not debatable."
 Mir. Hoar responded and the chair de- cided such to be the case.

dull and obsolete. We all know" writes Miss Tyson, that for the last few years the stage, instead of rising to 8 very high pinnacle, has sunk into a rapid decadence." She then asks the question, why are plays that are indecent, immoral and degrading so much in vogue? The answer of the managers is that the pub lie craves and demands such entertain ment, and in order to succeed in their business, they must do what suits the masses.
 "Dramana" is a work of much merit It Is finely conceived and skilfully exc cuted, with the result that its interest never flags. The people of the stage are exhibited in their private as well as pulp lie careers, and without the least exag- geration to detract from the realism of the story. Says the Syracuse Herald, Tt is a good book" And so 1t is, from the moral standpoint as we'll as that of in terest. It must of necessity treat of vice, Those who read 1t will hardly agree wlLn the Galveston News in saying, After having read "Dramana" a young and half-grown girl, breathing the decorous atmosphere of a carefully-conducted and select private school. would either lay the admonitory book down with a shud- der and whispered prayer-or would be- come possessed with an overwhelming de- sire to go on the stage, and quickly"

WOOL IN NEW MEXICO.
SmallerFlocks, But More and Better Sheep.

sheep.
 Las Vegas, N. M, correspondence of The
 New York Evening Post.
 It was not so long ago that the sheep industry of New Mexico was practically controlled by few powerful Mexicans who owned focks averaging 100000 head, Las Vegas and Alberquerque are the cen tres of the great sheep-raising districts of New Mexico, and for a radius of hun dredS of miles around these two towns there was little else than great sheep ranches. At that time land and graz ing cost nothing.
 The sheep industry Is now more than ever one of the chief industries of New Mexico but the pioneer conditions have well-nigh disappeared. Large tracts of what were open ranges of government land have been absorbed by homestead settlers, and the ranchman can no longer enjoy the boon of letting his fiocks wander over vast stretches of grazing country. With this circumscribing of area the size of the fiocks has greatly diminished. A few ranclirnen own from 5O.O01. to 75,0O0 head of sheep, but most of the f1ocks are much smaller.
 The thrush of settlers and the devel- opment of water supply. however. have greatly increased the raising of sheep. Twenty years ago the annual produc- tion of wool in New Mexico was from four to five million pounds; now 1t is from sixteen to eighteen million pounds. Twenty years ago there was not a single wool-scouring plant in New Mexico; at present about twelve million pounds of wool are secured here annually.
 The wool now sent East is of a diff ferent quality from that formerly sent In the old days no attention was paid to the breeding of sheep. Now more care is taken of the sheep and they are bet ter bred. The result is the replacing of the old coarse grade of wool by much better quality.

Nowspapers in Schools.

The idea of the newspaper in the pub lie schools has been taken up in New York, or, rather in Brooklyn. where for a few minutes each day pupils read and discuss newspaper lore as a course of study As yet this is an experiment, only a few of the principals having adopted 1t, but wherever tried it seems to meet with hearty approval It is proving of benefit not only as d means of disseminating a knowledge of the news of the day, but It makes a delightful change in the regular routine of school work.

Arlington Tyson.
 ] ss.Dramana." written by a young lady of Montgomery is a novel with a pur- pose. It is a story of the stage, and the writer deals with the lives and temp tations of the people behind the foot lights. It must appeal to all who take an interest in dramatic art and who de- sire to uphold the dignity and morals of the stage. That 1t is a timely book is apparent when such plays as "Sappho," "Du Barry and "Zaza" draw crowded houses and Shakespeare is considered
