unon the kind of iail or the location of a jail are sheriffs and criminal judges When the legislature appoints doctor to look after the health of criminals, and the doctor comes along and says that the criminals of Jefferson county look pale, even the black ones, he simply makes an ass of himself for he ought to know that if the sheriff and the criminal judges were to shut themselves up in their own homes for long enough time they would get pale, and he ought to know that it is the duty of an officer in jail to keep prisoners away from the sun and air; that jailer is no health officer but the keeper of prisoners.
 ''I asked my friend: How do you think the judge got around the facts that l gave him about the jails in Baltimore, in St. Louis, in Richmond, Va, in Nash vile, Tenn, in Atlanta, Ga.-the thriving suburb of Birmingham-Cla Tenn, Owensboro, Ky, Charlotte, N. C.; that restful place, Selma Ala, and besides score of other places? And further. have been told by drummers that it is harder to find place where court houses and iails are joined together than it Is to find a place where they are separated
 "Jf these are facts, my friend said, the judge still has his horse hitched, and and he is eating his lunch Not long ago he had an attack of acute indigestion, and since then he eats mighty slow. It's going to be long time, however, before the judge or the sheriff. or anybody else, convinces this community that when such other communities as you have named can get along with jail and court house separated 1t is useless to argue that this community shall damn property and have a jail at least where more people come under its influence than were 1t located anywhere else in the county. And then, too, I was astonished when the judge made his glowing description of the heroic effort on the part of the heroic officer to land a long line of criminals. every day before his majesty the dispenser or justice, that he should have forgotten the lines from the great epic poem Of his youthful days:
 "What goes up must come down, Either on the head or on the ground "If fifty prisoners are tried in the courts of Jefferson county every day, then fifty prisoners must go to jail every day; and If fifty prisoners go in the jail of Jeffer- son every day, then fifty prisoneds must -~-~-~---~------->~-----~-

Aberdeen,. yi.it to the Poue,

LONDON. Jan. 12.-The visit of the Earl of Aberdeen. lord lieutenant of Ireland, to Rome and his reception by the pope in private audience develops some comment on the unusual course of the governments chief Irish official going on such pilgrimages. This has brought out semiofficial explanation that the Earl of Aberdeen's conference with the pope followed similar course taken when King Edward visited Rome and that it related chiefly to Lady Ab- erdeen's activities in the international women's organization.

A APHILOSOpHER. GONE
"Old Poppy" Drew of Eliza-
 beth Shoots Himself.
GRIEF FOR WEES DEATH CAUSED II
Aged Shoemaker Was Famous In His Quiet Way-Hundreds of COm- muters Miss Him as They Pass.
 Was Kind to Children.

ELIZABETH, N. J., Jan. (2.-"Oid Poppy" Drew. the shoemakeN philos- opher of Elizabeth. is dead. Ike car ried his naturalization papers to the Second precinct police station, told the sergeant he had just found them, de manded receipt and then went to the Elizabeth avenue station of the Long Branch railroad. There, without a word to any one, he fired bullet into his head, killing himself instantly. Two weeks ago the ,cobbler's wife died. Since then the sound of his ham, mer had been heard no more in his dusty little shop on Elizabeth avenue, nor was he seen any more about the place.
 DreW was an Englishman who came to this country many years ago. He lived alone with his wife in the rear of his shop, where he talked over his last on all sorts of subjects with pro fessional men and politicians or who ever happened to occupy the chairs around the ash covered stove in the center of the store. He became a famous philosopher of his kind and was familiar sight to the hundreds of commuters on their way to New York each morning. They miss the old man now. Every day. with his corncob pipe in his mouth, he would hang out his weather beaten tin sign, saluting the passersby with a cheery good morning and offering his tin box of tobacco, which always lay on the end of his wabbly counter, to whom soever wished to fill his pipe, free for the asking.
 But Drew was best known for his kindness to children. It was his GUS tom to have pennies in his pocket for the first promising youngster that came along, and the chewing gum box es in the vicinity yielded many stick of gum to little fellows at the cobbler's expense. In the old swimming hole on the outskirts of the city Drew, 1t is said, was popular figure with the boys of all sorts who used to congre- gate there during the summer months, and despite their pranks and good na- tured mimicking of his awkward dives he had his daily swim and as much fun as the smallest urchin in the crowd. It is said that the old man res cued several boys from drowning. and there are many grown men who are glad to boast that Drew taught them how to swim.
 It is believed that grief over the loss of his wife was the cause of the cob bler's suicide. He was prosperous, own ing several houses and having com. fortable balance in the bank.

HOPKINS fVR SHOOT.
Not Senate's Business to Con-
 demn Mormon Apostle.
HAS NEVER PRAC1ICED POLYGANY.
Extensive History of Latter Day Saints Given by Illinois Senator.
 Cannot Irnpeach Him For Private Acts.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-A general service pension bill was passed by the senate, which If 1t becomes a law will give to survivors of the civil and Mex ican wars who have reached the age of sixty-two years SIP per month, $15 to those seventy and S20 to those seventy five years of age.
 The first argument in behalf of Reed Shoot wasAmade by Senator Hopkins Qll.), who contended that the senate had no authority to pass Judgment on the private acts of it's members. He defended Mir. Shoots private charac- ter.
 Mir. Hopkins took the position that senators were not federal officers to the extent that the senate could pass upon their qualifications and eligibility or could impeach them for high crimes or misdemeanors. If a senator was to be punished 1t must be done by the state or federal courts. Only federal officers. he maintained. were impeach- able, and this impeachment must be for acts committed as such federal off, ccrs.
 The precedent cited was the unsuc- cessful effort to impeach Senator Blount
 Tenn.). charged with reasonable cor respondence with a foreign nation more than a hundred years ago. The conclusion then, Mir. Hopkins said, had never been reversed, and that was that tmhe senate had no right to try the case, as Senator Blount was not an of ficer of the United States.
 After citing other cases Mir. Hopkins remarked that it was unnecessary for him to multiply evidence to demon strate his point that individual states have no power to add any qualification to a senator other than those prescrib- ed by the federal constitution. Refer ring directly to MT. Shoot, he contin- ued:
 Tt is conceded by the chairman of the committee on privileges and cleo tions that Senator Shoot possesses all of the qualifications spoken of in the constitution itself. It Is also conceded not only by the able chairman of this committee. but think by all who are at all familiar with the case, that Sen ator Shoot is not polygamist; that he has never married plural wife and has never practiced polygamy; that he is man in his personal relations as son, husband, father and citizen above reproach; that in all of the relations of citizenship he has lived a singularly pure and upright life"
 He then asked: Why, then, should he be expelled from this body, dis graced and dishonored for life, stig- ma placed upon his children. hls own life wrecked and the happiness of his wife destroyed7 He is Christian gen. tleman, and hls religious belief has taken him into the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, commonly called the Mormon church.
 "Never before in the history of the government" he declared. with great emphasis. has the previous life or ca- reer of a senator been called in ques- tion to determine whether he should remain in the senate or not"
