central building to the buildings at the entrance outside of the wall has been finished. This will permit of ready access to the central building by the officials without necessity of passing among the prisoners.
 The mechanical plant of the prison is all in duplicate. Every piece of machinery has its twin, so that in case repairs are needed they may be made instantly without wasting time in sending to a neighboring city for a wheel or a rod. In casetof damage to the water supply a delay of day would be accompanied by serious in convenience, and if the electric light ing plant gave out a delay of even few minutes might prove danger GUS and be taken advantage of by the prisoners.
 The machinery is now on the grounds The boilers have been set and two tandem compound engines are ready for installation.

TERRITORIAL PRISON ID BE FINISHED SOON
1t Will Be the Model for Prison Con-
 struction in the Southwest.

Thornton FitZhugh, the architect of the prison building now in course of construction at Folrence, on his re- turn from Florence last week spoke of the progress being made on the ( structure.
 We are now laying S71a feet of concrete wall a day. All of the underground work is finished. The northeast radial building is being stripped of the forms, and as soon as the sash and doors are put in it will be ready for occupancy by the commissary department. Excavations have been made for the building at the entrance to the enclosure. I ex pect to see the prison completed in about four months"
 The Florence prison, when finished, will be the best designed building for its purpose in the southwest. There are features in its construction to be found in no other building adapted to the same purpose. For instance, in this prison it will be impossible for trusties or other prisoners to over power the gate-keeper and remov- ing his Reyes, unlock the gates and escape The gate-keeper. in his little turret over the gate, will not follow the antequated custom of letting down the key at the end of a string when one wishes to go in, or out. By a mechanism, invented by Mir. Fitz- hugh. the gates can be locked and unlocked from the tower and, should the gate-keeper be overpowered, still the convict could not escape, as he would find himself confronted with a combination such as is used on safes. which will control the locks on the gates.
 Within the 1000 foot wall the prison is laid out in the shape of five pointed star.
 The original appropriation, s12O,O00, will admit of the construction of but three of the points of this star, yet when these three wings are built the whole will have a finished appear ance. When a future appropriation is made. permitting the carrying out of the original design, the clustered

buildings will simply be five pointed instead of .hree. The wing devoted to the prison proper will contain 6s four-man cells, as stipulated by the prison board. That the other two wings will have to be built at an early date is readily seen from the fact that there are now 4SO prisoners for the territory to take care of.
Arizona republican., 1909-02-28

Of the other laterals which are not provided for in the present ap- propriation, one is designed to be the industrial building and the other for additional cells. In the industrial building the prisoners will make their own clothes, shoes, do repairing and the like.

I'urpentine Substitutes.

The annual consumption OF oil OF
turpentine for the entire world is es-
timated at 81, 100000 gallons Prac-
tically all Of this enormous quantity
of spirits is produced in the United
States AS the method of extracting
turpentine is destructive and the pos
sibility of an extinction of the source
of supply appears no longer very
remote, there has arisen an increas-
ing demand for turpentine oil substi-'
tutes. The value Of spirits of tur-
pentine is largely due to it's slow but
complete rehabilitation, allowing the
painter time to get an even finish,
and 1t is sufficiently volatile to pre-
vent the paint from running. The
petroleum substitutes have been pre-
pared SO as to closely simulate the
natural product in this respect. Since
there is no reaction taking place in
paint which can be credited to tur-
pentine, 1t acts as a solvent, pure and
simple, and hence there can be no
objection to the use of these substi-
tutes in paint manufacture. The So
called wood turpentine, distilled from
stumps and wood, has very unpleas-
ant odor, due to about two and one
half per cent. of extraneous princi-
pies, mainly formaldehyde. For this
reason it is not looked upon with
favor by painters, though for all
practical purposes it is as good as the
purer article. Trade Register.

CHAPTER XIV.

She was worn out, but her mind
WIS at ease, SO that it was no wonder
IL she slept. And she did sleep with
a vengeance, although there had been
fracas enough in the house to wake
one of the seven-slept till great
hand was laid on her shoulder and
she was roughly aroused by being
shaken.
"Up, madamel" cried the driver
Monsieur is mad indeed. He has
quarreled with all his friends. He
will leave the house this moment.
The carriage is even now at the door,
and so is mine-ready for madame to
follow him He will not dine-no!
He has damned the dinner, the wine,
the house, the high tide-everything,
In fact, and everybody. And he is
off! Hasten, for the love of Our
Lady, madame! running to the
window" now behold his car
tiage that sets QUIT!
Pale as death, Gertrude sprung
from the bed, caught up her jacket
and hat and rushed downstairs, with
ouI WdlIuS W put LuSu VII, lOI6SI-
ting her boots, which she had taken
off when she went to Eie down. The
driver, however, looked round be-
fore he left the room and gathered
up all her belongings. Gertrude ran
through the kitchen in her stockings
and jumped into the carriage, which
was ready at the door.
For Gods sake be quick!" she
cried to the landlady "Tell me what
owe you. must overtake him.
"Oh, cie1! 5" cried the landlady, "are
you mad, too?" The driver was
on the box by this time, all the
guests in the house had poured out,
and little crowd of natives were
rapidly collecting. Gertrude threw
a handful of francs at her hostess.
Madame, it is too much" the
latter shrieked. But the driver had
whipped up his horse and her words
were lost in the rattle of the old
machine as it few down the narrow
street.

CHAPTER XVI.

Lolling back in the carriage, tired
to death, her feet like burning Goals,
her heart aching and anxious, Ger
trude was utterly unconscious of any
incongruity between her fine lady at
titude and her apparent position as
indicated by her Normandy peas
ants dress But the people in the
cottages, whose lights fell on her
as the vehicle numbered past, per-
ceived it, and made many comments
which were neither kind nor polite.
They drove at once to the station
at Dol, and there she obtained sat
isfactory explanation of her hus-
bands sudden fight. 1t seemed he
had been a day out in his reckoning,
had accidentally discovered the fact.
and had been obliged to hasten back
to st. Malo in order to get to South
ampton in time for the mail steamer
on which he had taken his passage
for the East. One thing about this
piece of news struck Gertrude hope
fully. There had certainly been
much method in her husbands mad
ness thus far. He had carried out
his expressed intention with regard
to this scamper; and it was therefore
to be presumed that, If he did not
come to his senses, he would travel
on under the same delusion to San
Francisco. She had heard from Miss
Somers that Lord Wartlebury had
brought his yacht to Southampton
and was awaiting events there. Ac-
cordinginly, on arriving at St. Malo,
Gertrude ventured to telegraph to
him. She told him her husband had
crossed over by that days boat, inn
plored him to meet it, to secure Les
lie, and prevent the San Francisco
project at all hazards. After which
she went over to Dinard and was hos
pitably entertained and cared for by
the good Filippos at the Hotel des
Bains. 1t was late next evening when
she found herself on board the
steamer bound for Southampton. A
very awkward and uncomfortable
thing for her had happened in the
meantime. Before she took her
ticket it occurred to her to count her
money, when she found to her con-
sternation that she has not enough by
some shillings. What am to do?"
she calculated.
Can / be of any use--can help
your" a pleasant voice Immediately
responded, stammering difidently.
She looked up and saw a tall, good
looking young fellow of about her
own age, who met her eyes frankly
but apologetically as If half depre-
eating the liberty he had taken. Ger
trude liked him at glance. and her
womanly instinct prompted her to
set him at his ease at once.
To be Continued.

let him turn back to render assis-
lance. He said 1t was providential
arrangement, The tide came up and
frightened the driver, the driver
shouted and frightened the horses,
the horses ran away and saved time
at gallop. which would just enable
him to catch his train at Dol. To
have turned back then would have
been flying In the face Of Providence.
And as to the young lady seen in the
other carriage why, whom the gods
love die young, and she was doubt
less happy in heaven by this time.
All this was told Gertrude by the
good woman of the little inn, who
was bathing Gertrude's feet and
mourning over them while the car
riage was being got ready
There were several young and
comely Norman women at the inn,
and they completed Gertrude's cos
tune in way which was certainly
most becoming to her. She was wear
ing dark blue serge dress, and they
rolled her dark hair up under one Of
their high, white caps, pinned white
linen kerchief over her shoulders, and
got her some new white cotton
stockings and pair of strong leather
shoes sabots, of course, were out of
the question. In this dress she
looked charming, and all these kind
ly women kissed her and told her
so, and would hardly be persuaded
to accept even trifie for their prop
erty and their trouble. 1t seemed to
be just pure pleasure for them to
comfort her and do what they could
for her. They would have neither
money nor thanks If they could help
it, to rob them of it and make it a
business. But there was very little
time lost here. AS quickly as. pos
sib1e Gertrude, much refreshed by
kind attentions, strong coffee, eggs
and hot bread, was driven off by
strange man this time, but with her
old driver on the box by way of
escort.

BURTON SUCCEEDS FORAKER
Legislative CaucusNo Him
at Columbus, Ahio.
Charles p. Taft, Brother of the Presi-
dent-elect, Withdrew From Con-
test to Defeat Senator Foraker.

Columbus, Ohio-By reclamation
Theodore Burton, Representative in
Congress from one of the Cleveland
districts for fifteen years, was nomin-
ated to succeed Joseph Benson Fora
ker, of Cincinnati, in March next in
the United States Senate. The nom
ination was conferred on him by the
Republican joint legislative caucus.
and the election will follow on Janu-
airy IL.
Usually Burton's appearances have
not been marked by the enthusiasm
of the crowds He is reserved in
manner and is lacking in so-called
popular qualities, but when he was
escorted to the Senate chamber to ac-
cept the Senatorial nomination there
was an outburst of applause, and this
was followed by frequent cheers which
interrupted his speech Mr. Burton
plainly was deeply touched by the
manifestation of esteem from the leg
islators and friends, and tears glis-
tened in his eyes as he spoke to the
General Assembly. He said that the
true measure of their success would
be the benefits they could confer upon
the public He urged them not to be
swayed by i'll considered popular cla-
NOR.
Burton's name was put in nomina-
ton before the joint caucus by State
Senator Matthews, of Cleveland, and
was seconded by Senator Thorne Ba-
ker, of Cincinnati, who was to have
presented the name of G. p Taft.
The secret of Charles P. Taft's
withdrawal from the Senatorial con-
test became known. and the story is
confirmed by Mr.. Burton, who says
the man who was really responsible
for the action of President-elect Taft
was Frank H. Hitchcock, Chairman of
the National Republican Committee,
When Hitchcock saw that Foraker
would win if Burton and Taft became
tied up. he went at once to Judge Taft
and advised him that his brother
should withdraw from the race

So far as the country lad is buoyed

SO far as the country lad is buoyed
up and carried along by mere vanity
in his assault upon the opportunities
of city career, he is going to lose
that aid and comfort in the friction
of his new life. But, interposes the
New York Mail, there viii survive
something which will be more useful
to him--and that is that discipline in
will, self-reliance and moral force
which he has derived from an envi
ronment in which he has always
counted as an individual rather than
a mere unit. Not superiority in ply
sique, not the negative adyanta ges of
freedom from multiplied temptations,
but the positive advantage of having
had something expected of him by the
community; gives the young provin-
cial his driving power when he enters
metropolitan life.

Fifty-five of Ohio's eighty-eight
counties are dry and seven are
"wet." as the result of six months
work ON the part of the Ohio Anti
Saloon League since the new county
option law went into effect. OF the
fifty-five counties in which the sa-
looms have been voted out only five
were dry under an old law. AS little
progress was made by the anti-saloon
followers under that law it was dis
placed by the new law, which has
been a success. Voting will be held
in practically all of the remaining
twenty-six counties within the next
few months. Under the law the couu-
ties remain dry or wet for two years.
In point of population the State is
nearly half dry now. In point of area
it is two-thirds dry. Most of the dry
counties do not contain large cities
So far about 1880 saloons have been
voted out, which is estimated to be
about one-third of the total number
that were in the State before the
county option voting began,
