Treatment Of Women In English Jail

Some of them are of gentle birth and
bringing up and include a daughter of
the late Richard Golden. Therefore
their harsh treatment has aroused an
cutlery and indignant protest.
When they were sentenced to two
months imprisonment they were strip.
ped naked and searched, were given
plank beds and the coarse prison diet
and were not allowed to correspond
with theft friends. Some of them are
now i'll from the rigors of their i'm

1t is contended that they are politi
cal offenders and are entitled to be
treated as first-class misdameanants
which would permit them privileges
insuring them comparative comfort.
The government. recognizing the dan
ger in the growth of agitation over the
matter, has at length ordered the pris
oners to be treated as first-class mis-
demeanants.

STATE AND NATION,

Returns thus far received indicate
a majority in the state for Chas. N.
Pray, Republican candidate for con-
gress, and H. c. Smith, candidate for
associate justice, of from 1000 for the
former to 10000 for the latter, while
the legislature is claimed by the Re-
publlcans by majority of fifteen on

slonal elections, except in Minnesota,
where Governor Johnson, Democrat,
will succeed himself, his success being
due to his nationality and personal
popularity.
There is no doubt whatever OF 4
large Republican majority in the next
congress, though some losses will be
sustained.
In New York, Hughes, Republican
for governor, defeats Hearst by a
large majority, which cannot be given
at this time. The campaign in the
Empire state has been hot and furious
and what looked like victory for
Hearst month ago has been turned
into d complete rout and the state

KAUFMAN THE WINNER.
Gives Sam Berger an Awful Beating
at Ian francisco.

Gives Sam Berger an Awful Beating
at San Francisco.
San Francisco, Nov. Sal Kauf-
mann gave Sam Berger an awful beat
ing last night and when Berger was
practically out his seconds threw up
the sponge in the tenth round. Only
one time did Berger seem to have
a chance. This was in the third round.
At the opening of the round he drop
ped Kaufman with right to the
jaw. Kaufman stayed down nine Sec
onds. Berger tloored him again with
left to the same spot. Again Kauf-
mann took the count of nine and was
up fighting. In clinch Berger threw
him to the ground again but Kauf-
mann came up strong and fought hard.
In the second round, Kaufman land
ed with his right on Berger's jaw and
floored him. Berger remained down
nine seconds and came up groggy but
managed to last through the round.
After the third round Kaufman fought
in close and did damaging work with
right and left uppercuts that Berger
apparently could not avoid. In the
last few rounds he grew steadily weak
er. His legs wabbled and his blows
lacked steam. Occasionally he would
stand up and swing but he seldom land
ed. All the time Kaufman was bor-
ing and uppercutting in the clinches.
In the ninth round, Berger went down
for the count with a right to the jaw
He got up and Kaufman slugged him
all through the rest of the round
When the tenth round opened Kauf-
mann went at his man and very soon
got him into a state of helplessness.
Berger could not hold up his hands or
head and was just about to fall TO the
floor when his seconds threw up the
sponge. In the early part of the fight,
Berger showed signs of cleverness, but
he lacked steam. Kaufmann on the
contrary, was slower, but stronger and
kept after his man all through the
fight. Judging from last nights ex-
position, neither man is serious can
didate for championship honors. For
heavyweight fight, it was very fast
contest. Both men weighed in late in
the afternoon and Berger tipped the
beam about 100 pounds, Kaufman at
about five pounds less. Last night the
betting varied from odds of ten to
eight to ten to seven and half, with
Berger the favorite. The contest was
refereed by Jack Welsh.

TUSkEGEE AND THE SOUTH.

Tuskegee normal and industrial in
stitute, whose twenty-fifth annual re-
port has been issued recently, contains
many facts of interest to the whole
country.
During the year ending May 81, 1906,
Tuskegee had enrolled 1921 students.
OF these but 553 came from the state
of Alabama, the rest coming from AZ
states and foreign countries. This
shows the far-reaching influence and
name of the institution. Booker Wash
ington in this report restates briefly
the ideas upon which the institution
is founded
To study the conditions and needs
of the masses of the colored people
and do for them what these conditions
demand. This idea includes the prep
aration of teachers who will not only
be able to impart book learning by
the most approved methods, but who
will teach the dignity Of labor, the
disgrace of idleness, and impart correct
ideas of living. The institute is also
to promote friendly feeling between
the races by showing the white race
that the education of the young negro
helps both races.
The report also states that the de,
mand from the white people of the
south, ID say nothing of that which
comes from the negro race, for the
services Of our men and women in
various industrial operations, is far
greater than can be satisfied. This
demand increases every year."
/ Here, then, is the problem of the
south and the solution, too, if north
and south would but see it. The negro
is wanted in the south. His services
are in demand. They are more siren.
uously sought after he has had a Tus-
kegee training than they were before.
1t is demand which already cannot
be satisfied and which grows every
year.
| 1t is suggestive that Booker Wash
ington has taken little or no part in
the social equality campaign for the
negro, nor has he interested himself i'll

man. He has confined himself to the
task OF making the negro self-respect.
ing and self-supportlng. He aims high.
er. He wants to make the negro nee
essary to the south, knowing that
whatever else is required to make the
negro's lot a happy one will follow.
He has not made the mistake of put
ting the cart before the horse. He has
placed industrial effectiveness at the
front, where it belongs. A hundred
Tuskegees evidently would do more for
the south than million John Temple

The LAUGHTER of Childhood.

The following graceful tribute to the
laughter of childhood is by the late
Robert G. Ingersoll: 'The laugh OF
child will make the hottest day more
sacred still. Strike with hand of fire
o weird musician, thy harp strung
with Apollo's golden hair fill the vast
cathedral aisles with symphonies
sweet and dim, deft TOUGHER of the or
gan keys; blow. bugler, blow, until thy
silver notes do touch and kiss the
moonlit waves, and charm the lovers
wandering mid vine-clad hills. But
know your sweetest strains are dis
cords all. compared with childhood's
happy laugh-the laugh that fills the
eyes with light and every heart with
joy.
20 ripping river of laughter! thou
art the blessed boundary line between
the beasts and men, and every way
ward wave of thine doth drown some
fretful fiend of care.
20 Laughter, rose-lipped daughter OF
JOY. There are dimples enough in thy
cheeks to catch and hold and glorify
all the tears of grief"

The two last named are longtime
friends of Mr.. Woolston. Mr.. Sutton

Immediately after the wedding

by General and Mrs. Grant, and thi.
evening Mrs. Sartoris was a guest O

When General Grant was told of tn

liking of Miss Rosemary.
