coburn's View of It.

F. d. Coburn, president Of the State
Temperance Union, has taken a hand
in the row started by Clerln Zumwalt,
an employee OF the union, when he had
a porter on the Rock Island train ar
rested for selling liquor. Much has
been written about this case and Zlm-
walt has been criticised severely In
some quarters.
~ have not the least idea," says
President Coburn in letter. that
Zumwalt did the thing described and
which you and l and the rest would
disapprove. The kernel of the whole
matter seems to be that this negro
porter was dispensing liquor in Kansas
in violation of the plainly written and
we'll understood law He was caught
at 1t, convicted according to law, and
is paying the penalty. If this view of
1t is the correct one, do not hesitate
to say that am glad Mr.. Porter is in
Jail"

ESTIMATES WERE WELL Jul
STATE AUDITOR NATION HAS
PARED THE APPROPRIATIONS.
Green Houses Cut Off-The Auditor
Does Not Think That They WEI
Cure Insanity-$55,ooo for To-
peka Hospital Cut off.

Topeka, Kan.-Three-quarters of q
million dollars is approximately the
amount State Auditor j. NJ. Nation has
pared off of the appropriations
recommended for the state charitable
Institutions by the superintendent
and board of control. All the needs of
the various state institutions are sent
to the state auditor and he makes up
the estimates for the legislature. OF
course the Legislature may increase
the appropriations recommended by
the state auditor, but as rule a leg
islature lis not anxious to appropriate
any more than is absolutely neceS-
sary. The amount pared off the ap-
preparations recommended for sevevn
Of the nine charitable institutions is
$711,S50.
If the legislature follows these esti-
mates and others which will be sent
in by State Auditor Nation the ap-
preparations during the coming ses-
sion will be far below what they have
been the past few sessions. Mr.. Ma
tion says he intends to trim them to
the bone. The policy adopted by Mr..
Nation will not prove popular with the
superintendent of the charitable In
situations nor with the heads Of schools
and other institutions in the state.
But nation is retiring from the politi-
cal game and it makes no difference
with him.
Mr.. Nation has prepared list Of
figures and a statement for the legis-
lature, the statement explaining the
cuts he has made in his estimates. He
contends in the statement that green
houses at state institutions are nice
things to show to visitors. but that
they do not cure insanity.

One of the precious things that es-

wrought such havoc at the Brussels
exhibition was the priceless collection
of lace loaned by the former queen Of
italy. AS all the world interested In
lace-making is aware, Queen Dowager
Margherita has revived the lace indus
try in Italy, and her endowed lace fac
tory at Venice is visited by many trav-
elers. Brussels as well as Venice in
old times was famous for its lace, and
no doubt the Belgians inspected the
italian collection like connoisseurs.

Sometimes the question is asked.
what becomes Of all the gold?" It
is a well-known fact that the total of
the precious metal mined is not fully
accounted for by the amount OF gold
coins in use or the quantity of gold
employed in the arts. A good deal Of
It gets away" In some fashion and
hides from the sight Of the statis-
ticians and the economists. Perhaps
a little light may be thrown on the
mystery by the experience of wom-
an in South Bend, Ind. who while
digging in her flower garden found
$1,145 in gold pieces. 1t is believed
the money was buried by the wom-
ans father, who died some years ago.
How much more has been disposed of
in like fashion or stored away In mi
ser's boards and In secret places by
those who wish to keep the coin

Parole of Federal Prisoners.

Congress seems to be quite as much
impressed with the new notions about
the parole of prisoners and the pro
BATON system as many of the individ-
ual states appear to be. Congress has
recently passed a law which will, if
the president approves it, make things
decidedly seasie. for the constantly in
creasing number of federal prisoners
who are inearcerated for violating the
federal sta tues.
Under the new law any federal
prisoner who is sentenced to a year
or more and for less than lifetime,
who has not had a previous conviction
and has behaved himself well, is en-
titled to his parole after serving one
third of his term If in any way he
violates the term of his parole he may
be ordered back to prison. There is to
be a parole board in each judicial dis
trict, consisting of a federal Judge,
some private citizen and the super
intendent of prisons at Washington.
These are to determine in each case
whether a convict IS entitled to a par
ole and issue orders for his release The
law IS very similar to the parole and
probation systems now in force in a
number of states. Where the new
system has been tried it is said to have
worked We'll, and that the number of
paroled prisoners who violate their pa
role is extremely smaIl.-New Orleans

One HOUSEHOLDS Waste.

The protest against the higher price
of milk in Boston and other New Eng
land cities has served to direct atten-
ton to the needless multiplication of
expenses in its delivery The cost of
distribution, it may be assumed, must
fall upon the ultimate consumer. The
present method needs such system of
economical distribution as Mr. Rookie
fel1er introduced into the local market
ing of petroleum. An observer may see
a dozen milk wagons, each with a
driver and a boy, pass through the
same street within an hour. Each will
deliver milk at a few houses. seldom
adjacent; for it appears q fact not
readily explained that rarely do two
next door neighbors, or even two
families in one tenement or apartment
house. buy milk of the same dealer.
1t would be an obvious advantage to
the milkman if he could concentrate
his customers within one neighborhood-
Instead, he supplies families scattered
through long routes, when his stock
might be disposed of within a few
blocks if his customers were contigu-
Gus. These dealers are industrious and
accommodating, but their laibors are
miSdirected and scattered. Here is an
example OF competition that is waste
full, that must fail as a tax upon the
consumer and that appears to be of no
benefit to anyone.-Washingto Post.

SMOKE MENACE.
New Haven Physician Says that Dense
Pail Greatly Inpairs Health.

DIR. James S. Maher of the New
Haven health board, has been making
atmospheric observations to determine
various matters, among whicEs was the
effect of the smoke caused by the local
factories on the population.
He said this week that the number
of clear days in New Haven was com
paratively small. He further states
that there is a. dense pail of smoke con-
tinually hanging over the city, which
greatly impairs the health of it's resi-
dents.
DR.. NIaher claims that the city should
pass a smoke ordinance which would
make it necessary for every factory
burning soft coal to use a smoke con-
sumner.
At the present time there is such a
petition pending before the local board
of aldermen. At the public hearing a
short time ago it was warmly opposed
by local manufacturers. DR.. Maher
has received communications from al
most every large city in the country
in which they state that regulations
have been adopted making it necessary
for the shops to have smoke consumers.
