PUBLIC SERVICE,

A statement has been issued by
which 1t is shown that the Board of
Control of the State Penitentiary has
taken in during the past two years
$l4O, I06 80 more than the current ex-
penses. The total revenue for the last
two years ~ represented in the sum Of
S827, 125. 30, which is 500 ,DOl u better
than the results Of the two preceding
years The largest item of revenue is
the levee work. This rtpr, ,sented
$3.50, ,oGD. 50 Of the last two years earn
ings.
From this it would seem. tn 1t while
the penitentiary is a State institution
yet the work done for the State on the
Ievees is charged up and enters tnto
the statements the same as do The
proceeds from the sale of the crops
from the State farms.
This is not a criticism. On the con
trarv, II il believed to be a correct sys-
TEN. If the same system were en-
ployed in accounting for the service
rendered this city by the municipal
water and light plant the monthly
statement Of the latter. IL is confident

operation of that plant.

ATCHISON'S ORDER OF SPINS
Unmarried, and Contented Withal,
They Have Mapped Out for
Themselves a Pious City.

There was called a meeting of the
Ancient Order of Spins last evening,
and papers were read on every sub
1ect, from removing grease from car
pets to the sad memories that attach
to bunch of old letters. The Spins
were having a hilarious time when a
visiting Spin got up to make a few re-
marks. She said that, while they are
happy now, there was a sad time com
ing. Think of the day." she said,
when, having no husbands or chill
dren, you will be all alone" There
was sniff and then a snort as Spin
after Spin recalled wives and mothers
who are alone from daylight till dark,
except when some member of the fam
lily wants waiting on. The shifting
and snorting increased in volume as
Spin after Spin told of her freedom
from worry, her independence in fl
nancial matters and the joy of doing
as she pleased But we must not
take offense at what our sister has
said,' one Spin remarked. Let us
show our good intentions by calling
on every lonesome wife and mother

and though the Spins have devoted
every afternoon and evening since to
this missionary work, they haven't

TWENTY-NiNE LOSE LIFE.
Heavily Loaded Barge Swamped and
Men Thrown Into River.

New York.-There was given out
from the battleship New Hampshire
Sunday night a list of twenty-nine
men who were supposed TO have per-
ished by the swapping of a barge
which was being towed to the vessel
at anchor in the Hudson river Satur
day night. Appended to this list are
the names of eleven men who are sun
absent but who were not recognized
as having been in the swamped boat
Various versions of how the acct
dent occurred are in circulation. The
generally accepted one, however, is
that the barge, heavily loaded with
sailors and marines returning from
shore leave, was tossed into the heavy
swells of passing steamer. Rising
for moment like cork, the barge
then plunged into the trough between
two waves, one of which broke over
the side and swamped it.
