CT, who went into service when Gen Grant became president, says thi4 same crow was stationed near the house when he first took up humble position there. And we all know said this old fellow, that as a weather prophet he can give cards and spades to the bureau officers and beat them"
 There is no one of the officials, higk or low, who will venture conjecturs. concerning this crows age. Their guesses range anywhere from a7 years to time when the memory of man run- meth not to the contrary, but there is consensus that no matter how okd he is he is a wise bird.
 That he possesses some influence is evident from the fact that his forecast of the weather for Easter prevented the ladies of some of the members of the minor offices about the White House from venturing out and risk ing detriment to their headgear.

She is pledged, when. her husband leaves office, to aid in ths establishment of a National Academy of Art and of a National Conservatory both to be supported by government funds. She keeps up her membership with the Spanish-American War Relief society, and performs her part of the labors. Likewise the Army and Navy Relief society and the Cooperative s. ciety know her as faithful contrib utinS member, just as she was when her husband was in less exalted sta ticll. A few minor fads Mrs. Roose- volt also confesses.

If he refuses to allow them to be opened before he receives them, he just doesn't receive them. They are re- turned to the sender
 But this test proves whether the prisoner can write, and good many of the fresh fish"-under which eu- phonious title fellow prisoners are known by their older fellows-are il- literate; ten per cent of all those eX- amined can neither read nor write.

 There are eight grades in the prison school, which correspond, as to the things taught quite closely to the same grades in the public schools.

AA INISTERS of the Gospel in Wash IvA ington and in some other places where Secretary Taft is well known, aim at him a curious criticism. They say that he does not often attend church, and that he does not seem to care for conventional religious forms and ceremonies. They do not say that the secretary is irreligious in the broad sense. but merely that he does not comply with the usual rule of men in high public station in the matter of attending divine worship regularly. For example, when he was on his way to Cuba the last time he had to spend Sunday at Charleston, s. C., where the old custom of going to church is rigid ly adhered to by all the better class of citizens. It was noted that the secre- tary did not go to church there, and one or more ministers of that city have since then made inquiries of men of the cloth in Washington as to the secretary's church connection and habits in this city. Some of Judge Taft's friends here say he is a Uni tartan, and others that he is an Epis
 copalian, but nobody seems clear as to how often he goes to church when in Washington. Withal, however, the secretary's life is singularly pure,

WISE WHITE HOUSE CROW IS OLD WEATHER PROPHET

hH ANY folks in this city as well as IVA elsewhere have been talking about the old crow which is known to have established his headquarters long ago in the White House grounds and whose skill as an augur has been ad- vanced recently by a warning he gave that Easter Sunday would certainly be moist and unpleasant day.
 To the east of the mansion on the north front. in a little grove of elms, the old bird has his habitation. Gen. erally he occupies tree very near to the north portion. There is a large hollow in the trunk of this tree and in the topmost branches his sable plum age is nearly always to be seen. Some of the policemen on duty about the grounds keep an eye on the old fel- low at times, but the majority of them ignore him. q have as much as 1 can do' said one of the bluecoats when the subject of the crows methods was mentioned to him. ito keep my atten- ton riveted upon the crowds of people that swarm here every day without giving any thought to the crow

scattered all over the state, and so on to the eighth grade. after which they are exempt from compulsory at tendance.
 Men over 45 years of age are not compelled to attend the school, but no others escape. if they arc educa- tionally deficient. It is a remarkable sight to see a bold burglar or house breaker whose early education, except in rascaIity, has been neglected, DOT ing ever a childish primer.
 But they are very eager and quick to learn," said a prison official. As soon &s they master few words they begin boring over newspapers. They seem to prefer the stories of current events, the things that people are talking about outside. There was an Irishman who could not read a word when he came here; he was interest ed in baseball, and in a month he was studying the scores with great delight"
 The school teachers are officials and the better educated inmates and the prisoners in the lower grades are as teachable as children When they ad- vance to the grades in which geog- raphy is taught, some of them, 1t is found, have been all over the world, and know at first hand the places de- scribed in the text books.
 With many prisoners, instruction which will lead to better things when the day of liberty comes does not stop with the prison school. The spark of ambition is llindled in many minds, and they take advanced courses. If they can afford it, they take the courses of the correspond ence schools. They are allowed com pcnsation for overtime work on the contracts, and with the little money so secured, they try to fit themselves for something better.
 Just now three prisoners are taking courses in mechanical engineering, others are taking courses in boolkeep- ing, electrical engineering, etc. One wouldbe electrical engineer has ad vanced so far that he is employed in wiring the prison. One man is study ing architecture; many are hard at work on literature, with the facilities afforded by the rather limited prison library and magazines. Many friends of the prisoners send old magazines, which are bound in the prison bindery 1 and read and reread.
 The great majority of the prison CTS are very anxious to learn some thing useful, and to earn something to help them along the way of knowl- edge and to give them little start when they get out,' said the official While discipline under Warden Armstrong is more rigid, every educa- tional theory and means of self-help in vogue during Vincent's administra- tion is retained. The first care of the Jackson prison management is the reformation of prisoners, to enable them to live profitable lives when they gain their liberty. And the officials declare they are succeeding-not i'll every case, but sufficiently to encour- age the belief that the methods pur- sued are tending to stem the tide of l criminality.

r HE United States government is to ! establish immediately in this city a criminal identification bureau, or what may be called an "Habitual Criminal Registry for keeping the records of all men convicted of crimes against the federal laws, and also all indicted by grand juries of the United States courts. The bureau is to be under t!e supervision of the depart ment of justice, and all prisons in the United States where government pris- oners are, or have been confined, have been directed to send their records, consisting of photographs, Bertillon measurement cards and finger-print identification sheets immediately to the department of justice.
 A central bureau for the identifica- tion of federal lawbreakers has been urged for some time by criminologists. Heretofore each prison in the United States has kept it's own records, and a federal law-breaker could serve term in one prison and be freed without the fact ever becoming known that he had served previous term for similar

In the large and grow ing class of 'somebodies,' the woman who wants to make her mark has to be different Even Mrs Roosevelt seems to recognize that fact and rather than be classed with the average she is making her personality felt along many lines. To begin with Mrs. Roosevelt, having set the national taste toward black for street wear and white for indoor occasions, switched off to the other extreme and now wears rather amazing combinations. No one except the presidents wife could have hoped to put on snuffy- looking brown for a great wedding and not be classed with the dowds. Yet Mrs Roosevelt did this very thing, and this winter saw innumerable dark brown and indigo blue afternoon and evening toilets, a radical departure from what Paris calls good form.'

SEA CAPTAIN HOLDS RECORD.
James F. Murphy Has Sailed 56 Times
 Around Horn in 32 Years.

Baltimore, Md. Fifty-six times around Cape Horn as master is record held by only one man in the world, it is said, and he is Capt. James F. Mur- phy, in command of the four mast Bath steel ship William P. Frye, now at this port.
 The fifty-seventh venture through the roaring forties" and around the Horn will be started from Baltimore as soon as the Fry is loaded with coal for San Francisco.
 Born in Bath. Me. the home of the great sailing vessels, he went early to sea- His first command was the ship David Brown of Searsport, Me. This was in 1871. Entering the en- ploy of Arthur Sewall. of Bath he fol- lowed in the Alexander, Yorktown, William F. Babcock, Shenandoah, Wentworth, Arthur Sewall, and then the William P. Frye, his present con- mand. After four years ashore he re- turns to the Cape Horn voyages in the same ship he left for a supposed release from sea life.
 In his voyaging around the Horn Capt Murphy computes the distances made at 9O0,0O0 miles.
 During these trips" said Capt. Murphy, T never had an accident to a ship and never went through the trials of having trouble with my crews. Mutinous men never cropped up on any ship I ever commanded in that time"

Italian Writer Goes to See a Spirit
 Medium Near Rome.

Rome.-An extraordinary adventure of the famous poet Gabrielle D'An- nunzio is related by the Messagero. The paper declares that Signor D'An- nunzio often visits the villa of the Marquis Clement Origo, near Flor ence, for the purpose of attending Spiritualistic seances. On the occa sion of the last visit small table from the studio of the painter Corcos was called into use and the spirit in response to an invitation to declare itself answered in the conventional manner by rapping on this piece of furniture. The spirit introduced it. self as that of gentleman who re- gently perished in a motoring disaster and immediately proceeded to make the most damaging statements against D'Annunzio, who, with his friends, at first smiled, but later began to show marked uneasiness.
 This troublesome spook was accord ingly switched off and a second invok ed but matters only became worse.

Governors of North and South Caro-

New Haven, Conn.-The famous salutation between the governor of North Carolina and the governor of South Carolina is now, for the time being at least, historical back num- Der. The fact was learned by Gov. R. $. Woodruff, of this state while at tending the reception of Gov. Swan son in the Virginia building at the Jamestown exposition recently. The Carolina governors, who had never met, were brought together by Con- necticuts governor. Gov. Ansel, of South Carolina and Gov. Glenn, of North Carolina, clasped hands warm ly, and while they were expressing mutual qualification over the meeting Gov. Woodruff stood expectantly. Fin ally he remarked:

This Is Why You Cough.

Vienna.-Heinrich Albrecht, profes- sor of pathological anatomy in the University of Vienna, has discovered a cough bacillus. From this bacillus the professor has produced serum which, when injucted into rabbits. causes acute inflammation of the heart, thus showing why it is that in fuenza exerts so injurious an effect upon the human heart. Physicians believe that Prof. Albrecht's discovery will prove exceedingly valuable in inn proving the serum treatment of influ- enza and coughs.
