only home that the present keeper has
ever known, and in spite OF the seeming
incongruity OF her sex and position, she
enjoys the work and thus far has expert
enced less trouble with unruly prisoners
than have men In similar positions.
The Jail consists of a large two and a
half story house of the boxlike type that is
found all over Rhode Island as landmarks
Of century ago. In the rear OF the old
fashioned house is a large wing constructed
of brick. which contains the cells. The
wing was built about seventeen years ago
and took the place OF a frame structure
OF the same size and shape.
Mrs. Smith owes her present position to
an incident that happened in the hazy his
tory Of sxty-hve years ago. At that time
the Kent county jail was placed in charge
of Earl Place, a granduncle of Mrs. Smith.
He held the title for a couple OF years,
when ii was passed along to his brother.
Jonathan Place. who was Mrs. Smith 5
grandfather. When he died his son. John s.
Place, inherited his property and the title
of Official jailer,
John S. Place, Mrs. Smiths father re-
talned the title during his lifetime, with the
exception OF a few years. when he Travelled
for his health. and thus It was that the
present keeper became acquainted with the
duties at a very early age.
His daughter was united in marriage with
lothian s. Smith; and when her father died
thirty-fve years ago her husband was APP
pointed 10 succeed him. He held the posi-
ton for eight years. and as there were no
more male heirs 10 the title, Il was thought
that 4 would pass out Of the family.
Soon after her husband died Mrs Smith
began to make preparations to remove from
what had always been her home wien she
was approached by the officials OF Kent
county and requested 20 assume charge OF
the place on her own responsibility. Dur
ing the falling health OF her husband she
had practical control OF the jail and the
county officials expressed the belief that
with her intimate knowledge Of the needs
OF the institution she would be able 70 d.
rect its anairs better than a man who
lacked the knowledge and experience. She
consented TO the arrangement and since
that time has had absolute control OF all
that pertains 70 the jail.

LAST DAY Of THE
SEASON FOR
HUNTING
Game Law Regarding Quail
and Turkey Becomes Ope-
rative Tomorrow.

To-day is the last day of the hunting
season. and persons found guilty of
shooting either quail OF turkey, until
the first day of next November will
be severely punished, as the game
warden and his deputies propose to see
that violators are arrested There
will also be much more vigilance this
year than heretofore, as the county
has never before had a game warden
men have been out enjoying them
selves, and the crowds to leave last
Sunday were especially large.
The state law makes 1t a crime to
kill or trap wild fowls at any time
except from November 1st to March
list, and the law specifies that not
more than two wild turkeys or more
than twenty-five quail shall be killed
in any one day, during what is called
the open season The penalty of vio-
lation is a fine of not less than s25
or more than 800 or Imprisonment
not less than thirty days, or more
than sixty days.
NJ ueeI are 10 De hilteU except uuI-
ing three months of the year-Novem-
Der, December and January. The pen
atty for violation is not less than SIS
nor more than 500, or Imprisonment
of not less than three or more than
six months. This is for each deer
killed out of the open season, and the
finding of such game in the possession
! of anyone subjects them to prosecu-
ton.

Common Colds are the Cause of Many

Physicians who have gained a ma
tional reputation as analysts of the
cause Of various diseases, claim that
if catching cold could be avoided a
long list of dangerous ailments would
never be heard of. Every one knows
that pneumonia and consumption
originate from a cold, and chronic ca
tarrn, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung trouble are aggravated and rem
dered more serious by each fresh at
tack. Do not risk your life or take
chances when you have cold. Cham

before these diseases develop. This
remedy contains no opium, morphine
or other harmful drug and has thirty
years of reputation back of it, gained
by its cures under every condition.

Submit All City Offices
to the People Direct.

In it's call for city primary, the
city executive committee provides for
the nomination of every officer in the
city government but two, viz: City
attorney and city physician.
1t is true these Offices are, under
the city charter, filled by persons
elected by the city council, but there
is no reason why the people should
not be allowed to nominate city at
torney and a city physician, just as
they nominate all of their other pub
lie servants.
If we can nominate United States
senators by direct vote, and circuit
and criminal court judges and state
attorneys and county solicitors and
sundry other officers of greater or
lesser importance, there is no possible
reason why the people of Pensacola
should not be permitted to name di-
rect the men who are to serve them
in the important positions of city at
torney and city physician.
The executive committee has called
for suggestions in the matter of the
! coming primary and it will meet to-
night to consider those suggestions.
The Journal respectfully offers this
one and submits it to the thoughtful
consideration of the public and of the
five gentlemen who compose the exc
cutive committee.
