The County
Convict Question.

Another chapter on the county con
Tict question, especially with refer.
ence to the Flat Top mines, has been
written BY Inspector TAFT, who recent
" looked into the matter on behalf OF
Mobile county, which has aroused
considerable criticism. The Journal
some time ago referred to the condi'
lions at Flat Top, which were report.
ed as horrible in the extreme. The
Birmingham AgeHerald, Of yester-
day, had the following to say relative
TO the county convict question, inspir-
ed by the controversy over conditions
at Flat Top:
Regardless of the questions that In
spector TAFT has raised over the No
bile county convict at Fiat Top, where
cOnvicts are said to receive the most
humane treatment, it is plain that new
legislation is needed in relation to all
county convicts in general. DR.. Bragg
is the apostle Of reform in this mat
ter He is president Of the board OF
convict inspectors, and he does not
hesitate to say that the present cOun-
" convict system "is a blot upon ouI
civilization and a disgrace to the
state" He goes on TO say that county
convicts should be handled by the
board Of convict inspectors. Then,
he says, would be stopped the terri
bic evil of sending poor fellows for
short terms, FIVE days or so, and sew.
eral score Of days for costs"
In this connection DF. Bragg says:
II I had the power / would break
every county convict contract in the
state tomorrow, and rearrange the
prisoners under the care Of the state
that they may be protected from al
and every kind of evil. IL looks, too
that something is to be hoped for from
the next legislature. have been
hammering on il for years and now
there is an indication that we will Sc
cure a change from the next Assem-.
bly, that will relieve us from the blight
and disgrace of the county convict
system. / hope it may be so. The
state has lain long enough under such
a law as puts us in the class Of sacri.
fcing human lives when it is shown
that they can be more humanely work
ed and at far greater profit TO the
state and the contractors
These words from DR.. Bragg, whose
experience in this matter outruns that
Of any other man in the state, will be
carried into every county, and il pos
Eible they should be laid before every
voter before he selects men to rep
resent him in the legislature

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair
Began to Fall Out-Wonderful Re-
suit from Cuticura Remedies.

About the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch. l did not
take much notice of it at first, but 1t
began to get worse all the time, and
then l began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but / became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as 1 would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and 1t
was not long before I could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and /
did, and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks 1 would take hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and l
kept getting better, and by the time
l used four boxes of Cuticura ] was
entirely cured. and my hair stopped
falling out. d. E. Blankenship. 319

PENNIES FOR A COLLEGE.
One Hundred Thousand Workers Each
Give Penny to Ruskin College.

The British trade unions had not In
their origin any direct concern with
education, says the Fortnightly Re-
view. But it is fact of no ordinary
significance that some of the leading
unions should be taking very great
interest in the higher education of the
workman.
For the last three years some 100,-
600 workingmen, members of the
Amalgamated Society of Engineers,
have made three levies of one penny
each to help on the work of Ruskin
college at Oxford. This levy pro-
duces over $500 a year. and by means
of it six engineers are maintained for
a years course of study at the col
lege.
Smaller but substantial sums have
been contributed to the same institu-
ton by the London Society of Com
positors, by the Lanarkshire Miners
County Union. by the Amalgamated
Association of Beamers, Twisters and
Drawers, by the Derbyshire miners
and the Durham miners, while large
number of other societies appear
among the donors and subscribers.

ALASKAN CABLE is BUSY.
Line to Be Duplexed and 200 More
Miles Added.

Few people who have not been over
the ground have any conception of the
wonderful development of Alaskan in
terests and trade. For instance, the
commercial receipts from the Alaskan
cable and telegraph lines for the
month of July amounted to s24, 900.
The rapid increase in the demands
upon the system will be met by the
government by duplexing the cable.
The cable ship Burnside, which Is
to install the duplexing apparatus at
the Alaskan end of the cable, will
carry about 200 miles of new cable
for the extension of the service to
Ketchikan. This extension will be
effected by tapping the lines from Sit
ka to Juneau at Cape Fanshaw. From
that point a branch line will be ex-
tended down the Wrangel, then to
Hadley on Prince of Wales island, and
then to Ketchikan, which is only 60
miles from Fort Simpson, the English
town which is to be the terminus of
the Grand Trunk and Pacific railroads.
It is believed that this additional
200 miles of cable will largely increase
the cable receipts, as 1t taps coun-
try rich in mines, fishery and canning
industries and greatly in need of daily
communication with the United
States. 1t is expected that this new,
line will be completed by November 1.

"The Lunch Man in the Alley"

1.-The Lunch Man in the Alley is the
title of a poem written by Eugene
Field and published in the Denver
Tribune on September Z, 1882, while
Mr.. Field was managing editor of that
paper Frequently, when Mr.. Field
was not inclined to go out for his mid
night lunch, he ate with the printers
at the Office and took an active part
In the matchmaking jests of these oc-
casions. From such associations with
the knights of the case" he derived
the inspiration which resulted in the
production of the following lines,
which, according to Joseph c. Brown,
1920 Downing avenue, Denver, who
was associated with Mr.. Field at that
time, have been overlooked by the
compilers of his works:
There's a noisy rushing to and fro
Like the surging of the ocean.
And the tramping of man below
Sets the printers in commotion;
The foreman drops his shooting stick
And the devil dumps a galley.
And each printer stops his leaden click
When the lunch mans in the alley.
All, it's many an aged homely joke
That lily bears repeating.
Which by the jostling crowd is spoke
Just previous to eating;
Aye, many an old and toothess pun
And many a bald-head sally,
For the printers bound to have his fun
When the lunch mans in the alley.
Oh. where's the printer, far or near,
In this or foreign nations,
Who does not treasure as most dear
His daily midnight rations;
Who does not deign with PIE and cake
And sandwiches to daily
And honor for his stomach's sake
The lunch man in the alley?

At THE SUMMER HOTEL.
Experience Of Winston Churchill Fs-
miiar to Many.

Winston Churchill in an address
that he made in Concord recently
praised the New Hampshire farmer
Ours" he said, sis a state fitted
above all others for a summer resort
New Hampshire, with its superb eli
mate, its mountains, it's lakes and
forests, will in a generation or two
be one great pleasure ground-a vast
park, dotted with beautiful villas, to
which will come each summer fam
lilies from all parts of America.
I'm anticipation Of this many farm
ers are learning to conduct hotels.
They are building cottages for sum-
mer visitors. Some of them, too, are
taking boarders.
And am glad to say that the New
Hampshire farmer is in a position to
take boarders, because, unlike the
farmers in other states that l could
name, he does not send all his good
things to the city. l once boarded at
a fine big farm, but the fare was
wretched-canned vegetables, con-
densed milk and so on.
BY Jove,' said one morning at
breakfast, as l pushed my egg cup
from me, these eggs are really not
as fresh as those l get in New York
My farmer host snorted.
That's rank prejudice on your
part, Mr.. Churchill, he said. It's
from New York that all our Arm
come"

white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter Of great I'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity Of
Starch necessary, with the result OF
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.
