CONVICT MARRIAGES.

French female convicts have one nrivilege that female convicts of oth- CT countries do not enioy-they are allowed to get married. But the husbands must also he convicts. Ev- cry six months notice is circulated in the female panitentiaries calling unon all women who felt minded to ro out to New Caledonia, in the south Pacific and he married to make application to that effect through the governor. Elderly wom- en are said to he prompt in making such applications. but they are not entertained. as the candidates must be young and exempt from physical infirmities. The selected candidates have to sign engagements promising ta marry convicts and settle in New Caledonia for the remainder of their lives. On these conditions the gov ernment transports them and gives them an outfit and ticket leave when they land at Noumea-

bath subject in mind, and says that
the schools could have a course of
swimming in their curriculum.
During each summer we have
throughout the country" says Mr.
Davis, the usual and unnecessary
fatal accidents from drowning many
being young people. The means of
making such accidents rare, lies in
teaching the children to swim at
time when they can best be instructed
in the art of swimming. When the
total cost is so little, compared with
the value of one single child's life. it
does not seem wise to longer delay
providing pool baths. The cost of
providing these pools would not ex
coed $4,000. One large pool in a white
school and one in colored school
would furnish sufficient accommoda-
ton to make every school graduate a
swimmer"

GETTING READY NOW
FOR INAUGURATION
Estimated It Will Cost $4,000 to
Maintain Order in Washington on
Day New President Takes Ooath of
Office.
BY Ralph Whiteside.

Washington, October 1.-THE capt.
tai of the Nation is not yet perfect,
and it's condition of affairs has been
made public by plumber. He is the
foremost plumber of Washington, his
name being H. B. Davis. Mr.. Davis
reveals the shocking condition of af-
fairs here in his annual report to the
district. His particular point of attack
is the public bath beach which he de-
clares is mud hole unfit for a
swimming pool being a better place
for the propagation of mosquitoes,
water lilies, snakes and frogs" Mr..
Davis says that what we need is a
first-class beach provided with prop
erly constructed building designed
and furnished artistically with ap-
proaches, hedges and flower beds, but
that is not all that is to be found
in Mr.. Davis report.
Mr.. Davis takes up the question of
public baths generally and points out
the fact that Washington, the capital
of the nation with a population of
$4,000 people has not one public bath.
Chicago, he says, has been furnishing
free baths the year round for about
fifteen years, and Boston, Baltimore,
Brooklyn, New York, Albany, SYRIA
cuse, Cleveland, San Francisco, and a
score of smaller cities have followed
the lead of Chicago.
Mr.. Davis also turns his attention to
the public schools, still having the

THE THRIcE-A-WEEK WORLD.
More Alert, More ThorIugh and More
Fearless Than Ever.

A President OF the United States
will be elected this year. Who is he
and who is the man whom he will
beat? Nobody yet knows, but the
Thrice-a-Week edition of the New
York World will tell you every step
and every detail of what promises to
be a campaign of the most absorbing
interest. 1t may not tell you what you
hope, but it will tell you what is. The
Thrice-a-Week World long ago estab-
lished character for impartiality and
fearlessness in the publication of
news, and this it will maintain. If you
want the news as it really is subscribe
to the Thrice-a-Week edition of the
New York World, which comes to you
every other day except Sunday, and is
thus practically daily at the price of
weekly.
The Thrice-a-Week Worlds regular
subscription price is only S100 per
year, and this pays for 156 papers, we
offer this unequalled newspaper and
The Hattiesburg News together for
one year for $500.

two papers is $500.

discuss these issues, and present some
ideas as to the progress other nations
have made along these lines. he would
leave a legacy of working opportunity.
which statesmen would not soon for
get.
There is especially good excuse for
such a pronouncement at this time,
because the government is going to
need the money
1t will be recalled that when the
President first suggested these means
of raising revenue and also of check
ing the aggregation of wealth, the
treasury was showing an annual sur
plus which a couple of generations ago
would have been ample to meet the
annual budget of the public. There
was mighty little apparent excuse for
levying new taxes. But today it is
different Not only is there a trouble
some deficit, but there is prospect that
it will continue for some time.

Washington through its chamber of
commerce, has become an active bid
der for national conventions of all
sorts, but it is finding that this sort of
thing, which is believed to pay
largely, both directly and indirectly,
costs no little money. For instance.
in looking into the matter of inducing
the Railway Supplies Manufacturers
Association to hold its next convention
in this city, the chamber of commerce
has learned that about $4,000 would
be needed for the construction of a
building suitable for the display of the
associations exhibits. But this is not
going to stop the city's action along
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1908-10-17
this line, which has already borne
much fruit. Several associations have
decided to hold their next conventions
in this city.

SOMEBODY got the weird idea that the
Washington monument would make
a splendid place for a wireless tel
egraph station. Lieutenant Comman-
der Cleland avis, U. S. N, sent the sug-
gestion to the war department Off
Gals, who referred it to the President,
who quickly put his foot down on it.
When it was first suggested that the
great monolith be transformed into a
telegraph office considerable opposi-
ton was expressed on the ground that
such an act would be a slur on Ameri-
can patriotism. 1t was also argued
that wires on the top would disfgure
the shaft.
.Adherents of the plan declared that
the only external evidence of the wire
less apparatus would be a band of
some sort of material with antennae
near the apex of the shaft. This. it
was said, would not be visible from
the ground, as the band would be
painted white.
Members of the signal corps, u S.
A, with whom Commander Davis dis
cussed his project, declined to consid-
er the proposition until it had been
laid before the President. Many emil
nent officials approved the plan, and
Elliott Woods, superintendent of the
capitol, who has made extensive per-
sonal experiments, declared the mon
ument would make an ideal station.

If there is one man of greater i'm
portance in Washington than Presi
dent Mcfarland. of the board of COM
missioners, that man may be Richard
Sylvester major and superintendent
of police. Major Sylvester is the
Major Domo of the capitol that is
now what gives him the title of major;
however, the title is one conferred by
law upon the superintendent of police.
One Is excusable for thinking. how
ever, that it comes from Major Domo
If it were not that Sylvester is ever
conspicuous in the public eye of Wash
ington, If not the whole nation. He
takes charge of all parades which have
more or less public character. He is
supreme at all functions of similar
character. The old-time Washington
ian wouldn't pay any attention at all
to parade unless it's genuineness was
manifested by the appearance of
Major Sylvester on a prancing steed
at the head of the line. People don't
begin to even think about the inau-
guration of President until the major
issues preliminary signal in regard
to the parade that always marks such
an event. Therefore it can now be
taken for granted that there will be an
inauguration next march for the rea-
son that the major has made his first
move in preparation for it, He has
written to the district commissioners
recommending that congress provide
$4,000 for preservation of public or
der and protection OF life and prop
erty in the district from February %
to March 10, inclusive. This may look
like a large sum to the uninitiated,
but if you have ever been in Wash
ington during an Inauguration period
when the weather was fine you will
understand that it is really a small
amount to ask. Every inauguration
day sees Washington with from 100.
OOO 10 2OO,OOO visitors. 1t necessitates
the doubling, if not the TRIPPING, of the
police force, and even then the num-
Der of the guardians of the peace is
found inadequate, as was the case at
the celebrated Inauguration when
Pennsylvania sent 5000 of it's militia
to take part in the parade. They took
part in the parade all right and then
they proceeded to take the town and
the police in turn proceeded to take
them until every cell in every station
house was overlooking with prisoners
Never before or since have the police
in Washington ever had such an expe-
r1ence. Major Sylvester shivers now
at the mention of it.

The legacy of ideas which Theodore
Roosevelt will leave to the public to
consider and to congress to wrestle
with will be second only to that which
George Washington and Alexander
Hamilton aggregated together into the
farewell address. President Roose-
welt may decide to bequeath some such
utterances, setting forth in general
his ideas of the demands which pre-
sent economic and social conditions
force upon the consideration of the
legislative branch of government. 1t
is reasonably plain that If he does this
he will provide all the program that
the government will need for some
time to come; vastly more than it will
consider IL under the new order of
things it decides to be less pushing
about its progressiveness.
With the assurance that his sue
cessor will look after the tariff, Pres
iuehI PooSeNeiI VIII NC aI HpeICy "
present his views about a vast array
of other questions. There are, for ex-
ample, the questions of inheritance
and income tax. The President has
declared himself as favoring both
these methods of siphoning off some
of the substance of swollen fortunes.
