TERRIBLE BRUTALITY
IN INDIANA PRISON

TERRE HAUTE. Ind. Dec. 21.-
Philip X. Reinhold, the Terre
Haute labor leader. who is chair
man of the committee appointed at
the recent meeting of the Indiana
Federation of Labor to visit the
state prisons, gives an indication
of what the report will show re-
garding conditions at the Indiana
reformatory at Jeffersonville.
Corporations holding labor con
tracts said he, set the daily
tasks of convicts SO high that it is
practically impossible for them to
get in any extra work for which
they would be paid cash. In No
vember the total extra remunera-
tion at the reformatory was SIS.
Poor material inefficient ma
chimes and unjust inspection pre-
vent prisoners dong any work for
themselves.
Nearly 800 boys are employed
on the contract for shirts and over
alls. The task is II shirts a day.
The completion Of the task is de-
manded, and if not completed the
prisoner is sent to the hole which
is a circular cell barely large
enough for mans body.
"On the barred door are two iron
bound gloves, and into these the
prisoners hands are fitted and
locked. There the prisoner stands

years of life will be easy just as
soon as the prehistoric antediluvian
titanic language is found and de-
ciphered. So says Walter Freeman
Collins, author of Science of Com

He asserts all matter is alive,
and that all species of plants and
animals are related by common de-
scent and that worlds, crystals,
molecules and atoms are living
bodiesf romed of indestructible and
living, conscious, ultimate particles.
"The restoration Of titantic
science he said, which will come
with the discovery and deciphering
of the lost Titanic language, will
bring with it command over the
lightning of earth, the possession
of unlimited power, the control of
all climatic and meteorological con-
ditions, the abolition of poverty
and the vast prolongation of human
life and the ultimate perfection Of
human society.

The COAL SUPPLY.

An engineer of the United States

last week in the west that the present
coal supply of the country would be
exhausted in 140 years from this date.
Under some circumstances such an
svernent would be cause for serious
consideration, but IN the dawn of cleo

one Of those inspiring specuiations
which come only too seldom from the

ton is made that long before the full

energy and heat from the ether
waves.

Take a piece of the carpet with you
when you go paper hunting, but do
not try to match it. Be satisfied to
get the color to harmonic. A har-
mony is better than a match because
the match cannot be perfect. as the
colors in cloth and paper cannot be
I exactly the same.
Woodwork is also a very important
and very much neglected considera-
ton Do not use light colors like gray
or light green with a natural color
woodwork. Dark browns and reds go
best with that.
With white woodwork the light col
ors look best although the darker can
be used as white is all right with any
thing.
Do not be attracted by flowers so
lifelike you feel that you could pick

tistic paper The best papers are flat
rather than in relief. and are conven-
tionalized rather than lifelike designs.
Do not put plain paper in hall

Never fail to have in mind that any
paper will look just about four shades
darker when hung than it does at the
shop.
Insist upon seeing two rolls side by
side before you purchase In a figured
paper it is almost impossible to get
the effect of the figure without seeing

The SECTARfAN CHART
STANDS

The recent endeavor to eliminate
from the charter of Brown university
the sectarian clause did not succeed
but the result of the vote shows that
the alumni are largely in sympathy
with the movement, and that the
clause is now. to all intents and pur-
poses, out OF favor with a great ma
jority.
The following comments of the
Providence Journal upon the recent
ballot win be of interest to alumni
md all Baptists in eastern Connecti-
cut:
Tt is but natural that there should
be among the Baptist clergymen of
this vicinity a strong feeling hostile
20 the proposed elimination of sec
tartan restrictions from the charter
Of Brown university; yet it is only
fair 10 say that the recent poll of
alumni showed a large number of Bap-
fist ministers in favor of such elini--
nation, while, so far as the figures of
the vote may be taken to indicate
the Baptist denomination as q whole
is likewise favorable Of those gradu-
ates who specifically stated that they
were Baptists, 4s2 approved the change
and only 167 opposed it. Put in an
other way, the Baptist vote was nearly
three to one in support of the
proposition. while the alumni vote as
n whole was nine to one With the
youngest class voting for the change
BY the remarkable figures of 10 to
one. il seems fair to infer that if the

The use of knot is to be avoided
in sewing and not to be tolerated in
embroidery. The accomplished needle
start with a knot, save in gathering
or Blasting. Sometimes tiny one is
slipped under q HEM but it will show
on right side if material is sheer and
makes an ugly lump in ironing. Two
or three over-and-over stitches taken
on wrong side of material is as secure
as a knot and much more slightly. In
embroidery there is no excuse for a
knot. Two or three tiny stitches taken
on outline or in body of work where it
is afterwards covered will hold any
stitches. Knots only tend to an I'M
tidy wrong side which no good en-
broiderer will tolerate, and max the
