WHAT ASYLUM RECORDS SHOW.
That Trades Do Not Keep Persons
Out of the Poorhouse.

Surprises are in store for the stu
dents OF social economics in a re-
versal of the popular opinion as to
the road that leads to the poorhouse.
In the official tables of former oc-
equations of inmates of the county
infrmary at Chicago what commonly
are considered the hardest working
occupations seem TO be the losing way
while the disgraceful stipend of no
occupation" seems to keep many OF
its followers at least out of DuGnmg,
as there comparatively are few listed.
The old idea that it always Is safe
TO have trade is put TO the blush,
while the housework rated high by tho
authorities on woman's labor, is by
statistics one of the occupations pro-
life of both pauperism and insanity.
On the contrary, the professional
classes. commonly supposed to starve
through their apprenticeship, end
their days away from the infirmary.
And the poor seamstress." usually
reported as playing to lose, and as
the victim of nervous diseases, is not
largely represented either in the in
sane wards or in the hospital.
The two spectres of insanity and
poverty combined often finish a com
mercial life," while clerks" of less
imposing title do not get to either
ward in great numbers Railroad EN-
ployes, butchers, BARRIERS, and farm
ers- the latter as distinguished from
The agricultural laborers-are well
represented.
IN general the occupations most
! prolific of pauperism are those rough
! ly classed as laborers, trades, ant
homework. while of all mentioned
school teachers, agents and laundry
men seem to make out the best. Tn,
laundryman especially has a low rat
ing when it is considered that in Chi
cago alone there are 1903 laundry
men.

known citizens of Hartford, died sud-
denly last Friday afternoon at the
county almshouse, where he had been
an inmate for several weeks. Several
years ago he conducted a stage line
between Hartford and Beaver Dam

rather feeble in body and mind. He
was a member of the Presbyterian
Church and was one of Hartford's most
respected citizens. He was past 80
years old at the time of his death
His remains were interrd in lakewood

ELECTRIC Line FOR
green RIVER COUNTRY
Will Probably Be Built From
Calhoon TO Hart
ford.

| The greensboro Messenger of We'd
nesday contains the following welcome
news to Hartford people, VINO have
long expected an electric line up the
Green and Rough river valleys, and If
constructed to Calhoon it will I'M
doubtedly come on to Hartford:
"The electric railway from Owens
boro to Calhoon, for which right of
way over the streets of Greensboro
was asked Monday night, will be
built by home people and home cap
ital. Judge Wilfred Carieo, who is
attorney for the company, stated yes
terday that is a purely home enter
prise, but that the company is not
yet ready to make any announce
ment of its plans, there being sew
eral matters necessary to arrange
first.
The building of an electric line
between Greensboro and Calhoon has
been in contemplation for several
years, and considerable work has
been done in one way and another to-
ward the consummation. Last year,
a foreign company secured options on
right of way through nearly all of the
property along the proposed route,
but failed in securing the desired aid
from Greensboro and abandoned the
project of building. 1t is probable
that the new company of home peo-
pie will take over the rights of way
and options secured by the other con-
Germ.
With greensboro people taking an
active interest in the enterprise, it
is practically a certainty that the
building of the road will not fail.
One of the men who is interested in
the proposed road said yesterday that
he had made some investigation of
the interurban roads out of Evans
vile, and found that practically all
of them were built by Evansville peo-
out asking the aid of the outside
world. He believes that the same |
results can be had by Greensboro peo-
pie.
A very rich field would be opened |
to greensboro by the building of a |
road to Calhoun. The most fertile
portion of the Green river country |
would be made tributary to Owens
Zorro instead of Evansville, as it has
been heretofore, that section having
to depend almost exclusively on river

HON. BEN JOHNSON Lee
lures AT COURT House
Gives Splendid Description of the
Panama Canal but Says ii
Wont be Worth the Price.

The Hon. Ben Johnson, of Bards-
town, Congressman from the fourth
Congressional district lectured at the
Court House in Hartford Monday.
The subject Of his lecture was the
Panama Canal. Mr.. Johnson has
recently returned from an extensive
visit to the Canal Zone and is tamil
lar with the plan of construction. and
save his hearers Il good deal of infor-
nation not Otherwise obtainable. His
review Of thief rench Government S al

Il canal at point where the big
ditch" is now being dug by Uncle
Sam" constituted a rather large parc
of his lecture and rendered /. some
what DISTINGUISHING.
The latter part of MIR. Johnson's dis
course was devoted to the present canal
and the plan of It's construction. Il
was quite interesting and instructive,
and embraced a very comprehensive
description of the canal as ii is be-
ing built.
OF course Mr.. Johnson condemned
the means employed 10 procure the
sovereignty of the canal zone by the
United States as we'll as the means
being employed to effect the construc-
zion of the cnaal, and says when it is
built it will not be worth the price paid
for 1t. 1t was difficult TO tell from
Mr.. Johnson's lecture whether il CIV

work of construction or discontinue

Admitted to Practice Law.

Lieut.. Claude Grady, of Henderson
county, has the distinction of being thu
first lawyer licensed to practice at
the Hartford Bar since the recent act
requiring strict examination went
into effect. The court requested the
assistance of the entire bar Wednes-
day evening at 1880 for the purpose
OF testing the applicants fitness, and
for about TWO hours Mr.. Grady was
subjected to Il searching examination
ON every branch Of The law by some
lawyers to whom that subject had
teen specially assigned. At the con-
clusion of the examination Mr.. Grady
average was found to be over 80 per

especially good grade. Mr.. Grady re-
ceived his license and was sworn as

NO BETTER
Than Thieves
Says Judge Lands of The
Standard Oil Company.
Twenfy-niDe Million Dollars Fine
Assessed Against Indiana
Branch for Relating.

At Chicogo last Saturday
Judge Kcnesaw NJ. Lands i'm the
United States District Court fined the
Standard Oil Company Of Indiana
S29,240,000 for violations of the law
against accepting rebates from rail
roads. The fine is the largest ever
assessed against any individuals or
any corporation in the history OF
American criminal Jurisprudence, and
is slightly more than 49, times as
great as the amount received by the
company through its rebating opera
lions. The case will be carried to
higher courts by defendant company.
The penalty imposed upon the COM
pany is the maximum permitted under
the law and it was announced at the
end of a long opinion in which the
methods and practices of the Standard
Oil Company were mercilessly scored.
The Judge in fact declared in his
opinion that the officials of the Stand
ard Oil Company who were RESPONSE
bic for the practices of which the cor
poration was found guilty, were no bet
ter than counterfeilers and thieves.
his exact language being:
I'VE may as well look at this situa-
ton squarely. The man who thus de-
liberately violates the law wounds So
ciety more deeply than does he who
counterfeits the coin, or steals letters
from the mails"
The court held that the railroads
have no more right TO make a secret
rate for shipper than a board of as
SCISSORS would have to make secret
assessment on any particular piece of
property. The court expressed regret
that the law failed to provide more
serious punishment than a fine, but in
sisted that the penalty should be suf-
licently. large 10 act as deterrent,
not of such size as to encourage the
offenders to persist in lawlessness.
At the conclusion of his opinion az

Judge Lands directed that special
Jury be called for the purpose of in
Iuiring into the acts of the Chicago
md Alton Railroad Company, it hav-

IN July 6. The crush was so great

is covered with a scant soil formed
