Assistant Judges Frank Worden of
Halifax and Fred b, Pier of Jamaica
are considering four recommendations
Of the grand jury for improvements IN
the county Jail at Ncwfane. These
recommendation are as follows: That
bath be installed for use of the pris'
oners, that the lower and upper rooms
be ventilated that new mattresses be
furnished for the beds and new army
blankets be supplied in place of the
old quilts now in use. Let us hope
that the learned judges will give these
knotty problems due consideration be-
fore passing down any decision. Think
what precedent would be established
by the provision Of facilities whereby
prisoners in the county Jail could gain
that state which is proverbially ranked
next to godliness' Imagine the palpi'
tation in legal circles that would ae'
company any radical stand in favor OF
pure air! Picture the temerity that
would be required to come out boldly
in favor of comfortable mattresses
and sufficient bed clothing! Verify
these be weighty questions.

District Attorney Alexander Dunnett

In a letter to which we are glad to
give space Congressman Haskins takes
occasion to answer a few of the criti-
cisms which emanated from an inter
view which he had some weeks since
with a Washington newspaper repre-
sentative. In so doing Col. Haskins
clearly states his position on the pres
idential question and narrates a little
history which will be of interest to
his constituents. The congressman has
so well expressed himself that we can
do no more than to bespeak for his
letter a thoughtful perusal by our
readers.

ENDS REEF SCHEME.
Secretary Cortelyou Closes the Certi-
 ficate Bids.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Secretary of the Treasury tortelyou announced that no more subscriptions will be received for the $1O0,000,000 per cent one year certificates authorized by the president on Nov. IS as an emergency measure for relieving the financial situation.
 No subscription received after the close of business yesterday will be con- sidered Notice has been sent to the assistant treasurers in the various cit ies where subtreasuries are located not to accept further subscriptions.
 It was stated that owing to the large amount of subscriptions received no more will Dc accepted. Whether the subscriptions total $100,000,O00 or $50,- 100000 or less is not disclosed
 The rapid improvement in financial conditions throughout the country is believed to be a potent factor in the change of plan of the administration.
 It is possible that Secretary Cortel- you will not extend his allotments be- yond those already made, which are believed to cover only small portion of the proposed $100,00o000 issue.
 All of the allotments so far made have been to national banks.
 The treasury will be justified, in the opinion of the officials. in adding to its working balance as soon as money market conditions permit. About ST. 0OO,000 will probably be added to this balance by the proportions retained from the sale of bonds and certificates next week, but the exact amount de- bends upon the amount and terms of the allotment of the one year certif- cates.
 If the certificates are generally useo to increase bank note circulation this alone will result in an addition of from S30,000,0O0 to $40,O00.O00 to the cur rency outside the treasury and with the gold imports and the new bank cir culation already issued will make an addition of more than $l50.000,000 to the new currency recently placed at the disposal of the market.
 The nominal cash balance cf the treasury was S241.393,217, but this was subject to the deduction of S23i.- 939, 9,5s9 in banks and elsewhere, leaving

CHRISTMAS HYMNS STAY.
New York Board of Education Says So
 at a Meetinu,

New York, Nov. 2S.-Clergymen and laymen who appeared at a meeting of the board of education to express their views about all references to Christ being eliminated from the Christmas exercises in the public schools were headed off before they got much fur ther than "Mr. Chairman" The secre- tary introduced a resolution by Con- missioner Robert Harrison which re- peated the principal part of the action taken by the board of education on Feb. 13. The resolution said that the board had forbidden the singing of hymns or songs of a sectarlan charac- ter and the reading of any distinctive ly religious treatise or book other than the Bible and ordered that all such treatises and books be stricken from the text book list.
 Then without a dissenting vote the board of education went on record as favoring the continuation of the Christ mas festival in the public schools fin the same form as that in which it heretofore has been celebrated.

SOME STATEMENTS
 REGARDING NEW THEORY
Followers of Cooper and His Novel Ideas Give
 Reason for Their Belief in Him.

With a theory that human health is dependent on the stomach and with a medicine which he says proves this theory. L. T. Cooper, a comparatively young man, has built up an immense following during the past year.
 Cooper has visited most of the lead ing cities of the country, and in each city has aroused a storm of discussion about his beliefs and his medicines. Wherever he has gone. people have called upon him by tens of thousands, and his preparation has sold in i'm nense quantities.
 The sale of this medicine has now spread over the entire country, and is growing enormously each day. In view of this. the following statements from tso of the great number of followers which he nov has, are of general in terss1-
 Mia.

 Jobs With Protectionists.
 Washington, Nov. 29.-Speaker Can non, who despite the opposition of the labor unions will be reelected proba- bly, without opposition to preside over the house in the Sixtieth congress, is already in the throes of his committee assignments. There is much rivalry for the best allotments, and he is scan- ming the lists day and night The most important changes perhaps from the Republican viewpoint are those on the ways and means committee, wherc five old members will be superseded by new men. Protectionist and revi- sionst issues are clashing, but all who know the speaker believe he can be depended on to choose at least three of the five from recognized prOtectionists. The five old members whose places must be filled are Grosvenor of Ohio, William Alden Smith of Michigan, Me Cleary of Minnesota, Babcock of Wis cOnsin and Curtis of Kansas. Smith and Curtis have been elected to the senate. McCleary is now second as- sistant postmaster general, while Gros- venor and BabcOck lost the confidence of their constituents. The five men who 1t is believed stand the best chance of receiving these assignments are Keller of Ohio protectionist; Ford ney of Michigan, protectionist: Stevens of Minnesota. revisionist: Esch of Wis consin, revisionist. and Campbell of Kansas, protectionist.
