MRS. MAYBRICK's VIEWS.
Comparison Between Prisons in Great
Britain and the United States.

NEW YORK, December 21.-At the Madi-
son Square Presbyterian Church last night
Mrs. Florence Maybrick addressed an audi
ence for the first time since her release
from an English prison two years ago. She
spoke on the subject Of prison reform in
America and drew many illustrations from
her prison experience of nearly fifteen
years.
Underlying all legislative reforms en-
acted for the betterment of prison condi-
tfons In this country there must be hearts
throbbing with human fellowship" said
Mrs. Maybrick. Il claim for all humanity.

walls the right to see Gods sunshine and
to breathe Gods pure air under conditions
fit for Gods creatures to live in. Our legis-
latures cannot make any Roadway against
the abuses that exist in our prison admin
istrations unless they realize that the con-
ditions most of the prisoners in this coun-
try have imposed on them are not those fit
for a human being.
Sing Sing prison is without light, with
out air. So damp is 1t that when the tide
comes In you can write your name on the
moisture that forms on the walls. Is there
any wonder that tuberculosis RACES I'M
checked in this prison pen? State Superin-
tendent of Prisons Collins has done much to
remedy the conditions at Sing Sing but
they are still beyond human conception
Mrs. Maybrick said that for nine months
she was confined in a cell seven feet by
four in dimensions; ,.iat she had a canvas
hammock to sleep in and that her food
was passed to her through a trap door
This is done in England to save the souls
of the prisoners" she said. I'm glad to
say that though some things equally bad
are done in this country there is no idea of
savings souls prompting the measures"
The state prison at Easton, Pa. was the
worst of twenty-four penitentiaries she had
visited said Mrs. Maybrick There the
prisoners have not the freedom that bear
has in cage, she added The state prison
at Trenton. N. j., offered strange contrast
between modern reform ideas and ancient
barbarism. she thought Though they still
keep men in underground dungeons at
Trenton the warden has organized a string
band among the prisoners. and they some
times have apple dumplings for dinner

speed at every stride. He gradually
crouched, and when at the proper dis

Most Difficult Athletic Feat.
High jumping on roller skates Is
one OF the most difficult of athletic
fents, The athlete is not able to secure
any purchase from the floor to aid him
in the, jump, while the disadvantage Is
multiplied by the fact that extraordi-
nary speed is required to accomplish
1t. Should the skater fail in securing
n proper footing after the jump, 1t Is
declared foul, and this fact makes It
one of the fairest as we'll as most diff
cult tasks In athletic sports.

PUBLIC MEETING.

= A public meeting of business men
was held at the court house on last
Thursday night to discuss waterworks
and sewerage.
Mr.. j w. Hardeman was made chair
man and Mr. j. P. Cheney secretary
Drs. Malone, Reynolds and Nolan
were called on, and made talks on the
necessity of sewerage and water from a
sanitary view. Mr. j. W. Legg, Judge
John Awtrey, Capt. w. J. Hudson, Mr..
j. P. Cheney and Mr.. Hardeman all
made pointed and forcible remarks.
On motion, Mr.. J. w. Legg was made
chairman of a working committee, with
authority to appoint three from each
ward to secure cooperation of the citi-
zens in carrying these two important
measures at the election next Satur-
kdsg.
The meeting adjourned until Thurs
day night, at 7 O'Clock, 18th inst, when
it is hoped to have reports as to the
work done to secure the success of the
sewerage and wateworks.
All citizens are requested to attend
this meeting, and give expression as to
the location of the new public building,
as this will largely have an influence
as to the site to be selected. The in
spector is expectedIto be here at once
Come and express yourself, and help
in these matters that tend to the city's

ELECTION NEXT SATURDAY.

v Next Saturday, October 9th, an cleo
ton will be held in the city of Marietta
to vote on the issuing of $4,000 worth
Of bonds for system OF waterworks
and $4,000 worth of bonds for sewer
age.
The Importance o. securing two
thirds of the registered voters in favor
Of these measures is urgent. Marietta
cannot lag in providing for waterworks
and sewerage. TIE present waterworks
is owned by private corporation, and
the pressure in the incipiency Of fire
is inadequate to give speedy and eff
cient service. Our people by owning
their own waterworks can make and
save enough to pay the interest and
principal in thirty years. These pay
ments are not for the present genera
ton to foot, but posterity will help to
pay for it, thus distributing the bur-
dens along for thirty years, and no one
will hardly feel it.
1t is useless to postpone and delay
what the town absolutely needs. Health
of citizens, adequate fire protection and
plenty of water, are the desideratums
that should urge all voters to vote for
these needed public utilities.
Come out next Saturday and vote to
put Marietta in the class of progressive
towns. Waterworks and sewerage are
needed, and the voters should be pa
triotic enough to secure them next
Saturday by voting for them.

UTILIZE EVERYTHING,

Tie way TO make money is to utilize
everything, and waste nothing. It is
following this rule that the Marietta
Canning Factory might turn few ad-
ditional pennies.
Expert chemists, under the direction
OF the agricultural department at
Washington, have been engaged in as
pertaining how much alcohol can be
obtained from cobs while green, where
the corn Lad been cut for canning,
The experiment resulted in obtaining
eleven gallons of alcohol from ton of
green corn cobs. The green stalks from
which the canning corn was freshly
pulled produced six gallons of alcohol
This analysis of corn cobs and green
cornstalks show how the refuse
on the farm or at canning factories
can be converted into deRatured
alcohol, to be used for lighting coun-
try homes, cooking and for driving
pumps and machinery on the farm
This is certainly saving the scraps and
wastes.

A BAD ACCIDENT,

p The downpour of rain was so heavy
last Thursday morning, in order to
reach the public school, Miss McDan-

carriage. In the carriage with her
were little Lucille Morris, daughter of
Hon. n. A. Morris; Mary EEllen Law,
daughter of DR.. G. NJ Law; Minnie
Lou and Mills Mcneil, ir., daughter
and son of M. r. M. McNeel.
The driver was Mr.. L. A. Kirk of
Kinks stable. AS the horse assembled the
hill in front Of the school house, he
stopped. Mr.. Kirk struck him with
the whip, and the collar being too
small choked the horse, and he fell
Mr.. Kirk jumped out Of the carriage
and caught hold of the wheel, The
horse got up and turned around and
went down the high embankment in
front of the school building. The We
hicle went down also, turning COM
pletely over on the occupants. The
shafts being broken, the horse ran of,
leaving the carriage, When the car
riage was lifted of of Miss Mcdaniel
and the children, it was found that
Minnie Lou McNeel had received an
extensive scalp wound on the side of
the head, aud that Lucille Morris had
several bruises and knots on her head
The Others escaped with slight bruises
! and scratches.
1t required some sixteen stitches by
DR.. Nolan to close the wide and badly
gashed wound on the head of Minnie
Lou McNeel. Drs. Reynolds. Malone
and Miller assisted IN dressing the
wounds OF those hurt.
