! BLOT ON STATES GOOD NAME s
Unsanitary Condition in Prisons and Slum Dis &
6 tricts a Crime.


Since the attention of the Chicago
authorities was so forcibly called to
the conditions present in the p%eniten-
tiary other states have been investi-
eating.
The rapid growth of tuberculosis
among prisoners in the Joliet, ILL.,, pen
itentiary, attended by a marked in
crease in the prison death rate, has
aroused the officials to action. An in
v%estigation and reform is to be insti-
tuted by the State Board of Health.
The members of this board do not
deny that under the present conditions
all efforts to combat the disease are
hopeless. Better general sanitary con-
ditions must be established or it will
be impossible to prevent the spread of
tuberculosis to all the present prison
ers and to all who may be so unfortu-
nate as to be sentenced later.
This is another instance of the state
forcing its citizens to live under con-
ditions which mean almost sure death.
1t is surprising in this day of enlight-
eminent that the state should alloX its
citizens to live, voluntarily, in uI ami
tary homes. Yet it does. The resi-
dents of the slum and tenement dis
tricts are dying from faulty santa
ton and bad hygiene. But more the
state forces some others to spend
from one to ten years in a dark cell
from which they so often come, strick-

A centennlal ceIebratIon.

The people of Fayette, Ohio, recent
" showed their appreciation Of the
favor conferred on them in having in
their community a fine old lady who
has rounded out the full measure of
her hundred years. The centennial Of
Mrs. Amelia Dubois was celebrated
by hundreds of people who met to do
her honor. The public schools were
closed, that the children might join
in the celebration. In charge of their
teachers, they marched to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dubois and escorted
them to the opera house, where an in
teresting program, in which many
prominent people of the neighborhood
took part, was carried out.
One pleasing feature vas the pres
entation by the children of a quantity
of flowers the money for which had
been collected among themselves.
The interest shown in the occasion
by the people of Fayette and surround
ing towns is evidence Of the high
esteem in which this remarkable old
lady is held. Every faculty of her
mind is alert and responsive, and her
brown Eyes still retain their attract
i've sparkle. She is an accomplished
needlewoman. and still spends much
time in preparing dainty gifts for heI
friends. Mr.. Dubois, to whom Mrs
Dubois was married sixty-one years
ago, is no less remarkable than his
wife. The unusually healthy and ac
tive old age of this fine couple is {
testimony to the value of their simple

A SWIM IN THE FOG.

The passengers of a steamship think
they have enough cause for anxiety
when the sea-mist shuts them in its
b%ewildering cloud; and the fisherman
in his dOry looks upon the gray fog as
his worst enemy. But neither of these
situations can compare, for danger and
terror, with m adventure experienced
by a well-known athletic club swimmer
and a party Of his friends. The story
l. told by the New York Sun.
The late Mr.. Bratton had many
thrilling experiences in the water, but
his narrowest escape from drowning
occurred a few summers ago Oft Coney
Island. He was spending the season
at Manhattan Beach, and it was his
custom every day to take a long swim
straight out into the ocean for a mile or
so, and then to return at his leisure.
Usually a few of the regular bathers
accompanied him on these trips.
One day, with six others, he swan
out for about a mile and a half. When
the party turned for home they were
thrown into a temporary panic by a
dense fog which suddenly enveloped
them and caused them to lose all idea
of direction. They swan aimlessly
round for a few moments, Bratton try
ing to calm their fears by assuring
them that the fog would either lift
quickly or else the tide would carry
them near shore. The swimmers mus
tered up courage and began to swim
slowly in the direction Bratton selected.
The tide along Coney Island runs in
a crescent shape. Bratton said after
ward that he could not remember at
the time of his peril whether the tide
was coming in or going out. If it was
coming in he thought it would carry
them, without much effort on their
part, in a curve to Sea Gate Point. If
it were going out he feared they would
be carried past the inlet into the ocean.
They swan slowly along, and after,
as it seemed, about two hours, one of
the men was seized with violent cramp.
Mr.. Bratton always maintained that
this was the most perilous position he
was ever in, for after all the party
had gone through this trouble was
enough to weaken the strongest nerves.
But the whole party behaved cour-
%ageously; not for a moment did they
give way to panic, and one after an
other they took turns in towing the
disabled swimmer. All this time they
had not even heard a steamboat
whistle. They had shouted until
hoarse, but TO no avail. After what
appeared to be about two hours more
they heard the faint sound of a bell,
Swimming in that direction, they came
in sight of a bell-buoy, which they
reckoned was the one anchored near
Sea Gate Point.
After managing to the buoy for a
rest, the exhausted swimmers started
in the direction in which they thought
the shore must be. In a few moments
they were on the beach, half-dead from
the long mental and bodily eXertion
They had been five hours and forty
minutes in the water.

"Fashlon" Notes.

Don't wear thin-soled shoes at any
season of the year. One may take
cold from chilling of the feet as the
result of wearing thin-soled shoes in
walking over a cold pavement, even
when the pavement is perfectly dry.
Don't adjust the clothing to suit the
season of the year only, but adapt it
to the weather conditions of each par
ticular day.
Don't wear high-heeled shoes, nor
pointed shoes, nor narrOw-soled shoes,
nor tight shoes, nor low shoes. Don't
wear slippers, except in the house.
Shoes must have broad, reasonably
thick soles, plenty of room for the
toes, low heels. Rubber heels are a
great comfort.
Don't support the clothing by bands
tight about the waist.
Don't construct the limbs by means
of elastic bands to support the stock.

SHOT BIG BEAR IN A CAVE.

Shooting a 40O-pound black bear in
the darkness of a cave twenty feet in
the side of Mount Hood was the expe-
rience last week Of three Portland
plumbers who have returned to the
city with the pelt.
The hunters are Fred H. SCHNEIDER,
Jesse S. Hayes and Roy C. Maxwell.
1t was three days out from Portland
that the party stumbled upon the
bears den. Just after lunch they saw
behind a large rock an opening in the
hillside. 1t was a hole about six feet
deep. Maxwell dropped inside, the 9th
ers following. a candle was lighted,
and fresh bear gins were discovered.
After going in fifteen feet they found
that the cave widened out and pitched
downward. Hayes was in the lead.
BY this time the hunters were in
darkness. except for the Pickering
light of the candle. Hayes was sure
he had heard a bear moving about, SC
the trio proceeded with fear and trem-
bling. They had come all the way

The Waterbury Conn Democrat in
decrying yellow journalism says that
so far as its typographical appearance
is concerned, it does not accord with
good taste. Its hysterical headlines
and %succotash makeup doom it to even
tual disaster. 1t is perhaps a fad with
some just at the present time, but the
man who likes his reading matter fur
nished so that he can enjoy it with as
little effort as possible positively dis
likes freak makeup in his newspaper.
He does not care to wade through col

the news in a comprehensive, concise

L L THE O

A day or two ago Elijah Morehouse,
a young man living at Zealand Station,
a son of George Morehouse, was in tie
woods, not far from home, partridge
shooting, when he came across n big
bull moose. The big fellow, instead of
fleeing, showed fight. Young More
house had only a double-barreled shot
gun and no ball cartridges, but his re-
sources were equal to the occasion.
Opening out a small p%ocketknife
which he carried, he put it down the
barrel of the gun on top of a shot car
fridge. and in the other barrel he put
an old table fork which he happened to
have in his pocket. Taxing steady aim
at the angry moose, which was steadily
coming toward him, MOrehOuse dis
charged both barrels of the gun in
quick succession.
The barrel into which the knife had
been rammed was burst, but More
house escaped uninjured. The moose
fell in his tracks, either the knife or
the fork having gone right through him
and piercing a vital part.
Mr.. M~orehouse secured assistance
and got the big carcass home, and is
pardonably proud of his exploit. The
moose head, a magnificent one, with
antlers spreading fifty-eight inches and
carrying sixteen points, is being mount
ed by Avery Morehouse, Zealand Sta
ton.

subscribers, says he can vouch for the
truth of the above. AS the moose was
killed in self-defense, without license,

fined $50, he also paying costs.-Maine

How n Woman Was Freed from Troubles

The immediate causes Of headaches
vary, but most of them come from pool
or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
of the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women in particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anemia.
