PEACHES FOR THE PRISONERS
q. w. Merriman Sent Large, Luscious
Peach TO Each Prisoner in Jack
son State Prison.

Probably 20 portion of the mammoth
peach crop sent out from Hartford dur.
log the past ten days will prove more
welcome or will be more keenll relished
than was consignment of extra choice
fruit shipped to the Jackson state prison
Sunday night through the generosity of
Hon. q. w. Merriman, a member OF the
jackson prison board of control.
Ihe consignment consisted OF SIX
bushels of extra large, ripe peaches. The
peaches were carefully selected from Mr..
Merrman's big orchard, and an idea of
their size can be gained from the fact
that they averaged from l42 to $50
peaches to the bushel-a big luscious
peach for each prisoner in the institu-
tion.
There are $50 prisoners in the jack
son state prison, and it was intended
that each one should have choice peach
served with his supper Monday evening,
supper being served to the men in their
cells.
ln speaking of the matter Mr.. Merri-
man said: OF the $50 men iG the prison
there are probably number who have
not seen choice peach 10 years They
get good wholesome food, but few Of the
delicacies OF the season Those men
will appreciate choice peach, and they
are going to have sample of the best 10
my orchards
And what those prisoners got was the
best-big, juicy, perfect peaches. The
big orchards on the Merrlman farm
southeast of town have yielded hundreds
of bushels of the finest of peaches this
year. Sundays picking of between 300
and 400 bushels was carefully sorted un.
til the requisite 800 peaches or more
were secured and carefully packed in
bushel Notwithstanding, probably
as fire a consignment of fruit as has
been sen. from Hartford this year.
Mr. Merriman mas served for several
years as member Of the jackson prison
board of control. during which he has
become familiar with the institution
and its methods. He understands the
men and their environments, and his
sympathy for the unfortunate fellows
prompted the shipment of the choicest
product of his orchards. Hartford Day

A HELPING HAND.

10 the fight for temperance through the
country, the Catholic church is lending a
helping hand. The following is chppe d
from a recent speech made in Baltimore
by the great Cardinal Gibbons.
"Prohibitionists all over the country
are making an effort to suppress The use
of Intoxicating liquors, and while hope
they will succeed, don't think they will.
Reform must come from within and not
from without. You cannot iegislate for
virtue, said Cardinal Gibbons Sunday,
during the course of an instruction, fol
lowing the pledge given to members
OF confirmation class.
Believe me, he continued, when | tell
you there is no vice like that of intem-
perance, no vice that is followed by such
dire results. Its effects are found every
where, and sometimes even among
church men. No church should tolerate
a clergyman who drinks.

Aaron Hathaway had a narrow escape
from serious injury, if not from death,
last Friday. he was drawing gravel
from the Ferguson pit, when he was
caught in a cave in. VIM Quinn, fellow
workman, was nearby and came to his
assistance He had TO work lively, how
ever, TO keep the falling gravel from
completely covering the buried man. Af-
ter some hard work Mr.. Hathaway was
extrcated from his predicament, none
the worse for his experience, with the
exception of few slight bruises. Had
it Lot been for prompt assistance he,
would have been literally buried alive
and would undoubtedly have smothered
uncerneath the gravel.

Americans are not inclined to let loose
their enthusiasm as the French and
Spanish and Italians at the first hint
of achievement The signal corps of
the army which in this particular in
stance is the nonchalant onlooker, is
more careful of its enthusiasm than
the people at large, and congress- the
deep, dark villain of the piece, cannot
be pried loose with the overworked
Archlmidean lever If the two aero
planes soar with the facility of their
builders expectations it is going to be
amusing to watch the effect on the
congressional countenance
1t is no easy test that the signal
corps has mapped out for the air nav
igators. The specifications of the con-
tract which they must fulfill before
they can get any government money
are exacting, as may be seen from the
following paragraphs
The machine must be designed to
carry two passengers having a COM
bined weight of about $50 pounds, also
sufficient fuel for flight of 125 miles
