the history OF the country. Numer-
Gus calls upon the bureau OF stalls

A Part of the Punishment.

A week ago the writer met the
Rev. Walter Vreeland. who used TO
have a pastorate here, and asked
him with reference to his being ap-
pointed chaplain OF the Kentucky
penltentiary. lie said he had heard
IL rumored, but the appointing
power had never intimated II 10
him. AS the prison commission plays
politics every day of the year. the
appointment is a natural one even
excluding Mr.. Vreeland's fitness ioi
the position. He is a brother OF the
member OF the state Democratic
committee from the Fifth district.
John w. Vreeland. and of Managing
Editor Graham Vreeland. OF the
Courier-Journal. a managing editor
who MANAGES. The incumbent, the
Rev. Joseph Severance. has made
most excellent chaplain and done
great good for the conyicts, but he
has no particular political pull, and
il is really a wonder that he has
held down the job so long.-Lexing-

city. The ascension Saturday was
also the first trial OF the new bal
loon and parachute just received
from the manufacturers. There was
to have been an ascension ycster-
day afternoon also. and an attempt
was made, but weather conditions
were extremely unfavorable. Rain
had wet the balloon, making II un-
usually weighty the air was also
very heavy and there were so many
little violent wind puns that Il made
the task OF holding the monster bal
loon. while being inflated. an exceed
cension of yesterday was premature
as one Of the sudden gusts OF wind
was too strong for those endeayor-
ing to hold the bag down and II was
carried away long before the aero
naut was ready to go. He, how
ever, pluckily went with II. and was
dragged through treetops( narrowly
escaping serious injury. Finding
hat the balloon would not rise
higher he cut loose and came down,
miraculously escaping with nothing
more than some scratches and
bruises. The balloon was hauled
back, and the daring aeronaut pre-
pared to make another attempt, but
as weather conditions continued
unchanged throughout the evening
the ascent was postponed untll next
Sunday, when II is hoped that the
weather Will give an opportunity To
make as brilliant and neat rise and
jump as on the preceding asturday
afternoon.

Mike TayIor's Reward.

The appointment of former State
Senator Il. NJ. Taylor, of Fulton as
a deputy warden at the Eddyyille
branch prison. recalls the report
published in the Evening Post, dur
ing the last legislative session, to
the effect that such an appointment
would come. Senator Taylor at the
time, denied that there was any
such arrangement. He was chair
man of the joint committee which
investigated the conditions of the
prisons during the legislative ses-
sion. The carrying out of the plans
for the naming of different ones to
political positions. who were spokes
in the wheel Of fortune operated by
the Third House. during the legisla-
ture. seems to indicate that the
Shackleford- Brown-Vreeland combine
will line up for Congressman john
son for the nomination for governor
This. also, has been anticipated

late hour.
While the coming contest in the
Rhode Island legislature between the
New York, New Haven & Hartford and
Grand Trunk railroad companies over
the Grand Trunk s application for the
charter of new line to Providence ex-
cites much interest in railroad circles,
the situation within few days appears
to have appreciably relaxed. 1t is al
most certain that the New Haven com.
pany will not oppose strongly, if at all.
the Grand Trunk application for an
ordinary railroad charter in Rhode Is
land, but will focus its resistance of
certain features of the charter bill as
already introduced. The New Haven IS
most specific objection in the charter
features are to grade crossing provis !
ions, general extension privileges in
upper Rhode Island, and most strenu- |
ously of all to the paragraph of the
charter which confers on the Grand |
Trunk rights of using the New Haven s
railroad and terminal plants in Rhode
Island Railroad men in a position to
know the facts believe that the final
outcome of the controversy, whether the
charter is granted or not, will be COM
promise of the dispute and its settle
ment by some sort of traffic agreement
under which the Grand Trunk will OBJ
tain larger business than heretofore
from the New Haven company and be
ess in danger of the diversion of New
England business to the Canadian Pa
