We'll Known Here

Eugene Ely was well known In Bir- min gham. Mr Ely was really the first trained aviator who ever visited Bir- ningham and gave exhibition flights here. With his teammate, Jimmy" Ward, Ely was in Birmingham No- vember 22 and 23, last year, when tue Magic City was holding her great ceh- sus jubilee Ely and Ward sprang into popularity with one great bound. Ely for his gentlemanly and friendly dis position and his skill in handling his air craft and Ward because of his bravery in attempting flights when he knew very little about aviation. being only a beginner then. Ely captivated the crowds during his two days exhi- bition at the State Fair grounds and created sensation when on the last day of the jubilee he carried Mrs. w. P. Sullivan, a society lady of this city, into the air with him as @ passen- ger
 Mrs. Ely accompanied her husband here and appeared on the aviation fields each day with him. They had been married but short time then and e great deal of amusement was created when the young bride of the. aviator strenuously objected to him making the flight with Mrs. Sullivan. Mrs Ely made many acquaintances in Birming- ham and many citizens of this city are extending her their heartfelt sympathy this morning.
 The business men of the city rendered Ely a banquet in honor of his aviation work and he left Birmingham W tn thousands of wishes of good will go- ing with him. His name is familiar to almost every boy and girl in the city and his career as an aviator was watched with more than particular in terest as from time to time he came into the public eye by his flights to and from the battleship Birmingham and other notable achievements His death will bring sorrow to many and many people In Birmingham today.

New Zealand Camps

Prison camps in New Zealand in con. nection with a government afforestation plan were described today by James A.. Kayll, advisory visitor of the prison de- rartment, department of justice of New Zealand. These camps, he declared, have very important part in the prison sys- tom of that country.
 The objects of the plan he described as .wofold, to provide healthy and useful oc- cupation for prisoners amidst surround ings which are quite unrelated to their former habit of life, and to accomplish usefu labor for the state without com ing into competition with free labor.
 Both of these objects have certainly been gained, said MT kayll. 'The sites chosen for the camps at a consider able distance from close population, and m districts noted for their invigorating climate The prisoners are out all day working at hard manual labor, either on the hills or the plains. They develop Leen appettes and sleep well
 "rhe result is a rapid improvement in pliysiaue. a much more contented mind and the formed habit for sustained in- dustry. The state also benefits consider ably. for every year several hundred thousands of trees are planted on an oth- eIwise barren soil. The work does not compete with free labor nasmuch as the government could never get sufficient number of men to take up the work un- der such conditions as are necessary 10 make 1t possible undertaking

Feeble Minded Large

The number Of persons in penal institu- tious who belong to the class whose mindG have a certain amount of development, but who are too weak to reach the full mental standard of civilization, was de- clared surprisingly large by Frank Moore, superintendent of the New Jersey re- formatory, today.
 In the New Jersey reformatory 46 per cent of the inmates were found to be de- ficient, he said, in the last two years A special system of training must be adapt ed to such charges. he declared, and he challenged the belief of many that such charges should be kept in permanen. custodal care.
 "Our success With this class on parole has been fully good as 1t has been with the normal minded" said MT Moore. "Of S3 parolled during three months not long ago, they have made even better record than the normals. SiXty-three of the S3 were mentally normal, and of that number nine or II per cent, have been returned, either for committing crime or breaking parole agreements. Twenty of tine S3 were deficient. of whom only two, or 10 per cent, have been returned, and in neither of these cases was it for com rl:tting crime. We have on record very many instances of this class that are do- ing remarkably we'll"

VEIN TALKS ON
 PRISON LABOR He Urges Abandonment of
 Leasing Convicts COMPENSATION PLAN
Number of Feeble Minded in Prisons Is Large, Says Moore-New
 Zealand Prison Camps
 Are Described ~F

Omaha, Neb., october 1e,--Discussin s before the American Prison Congress tonight the case of innocent defend ants of criminals, William H. Nenn, of Detroit; pa role officer of the state of Michigan. urged the abandonment of the contract labor system.
 Tn the state of Michigan the contract system is doomed" said Mir. Nenn, tits expiring gasp having been slated by legislative enactment. In most, If not all other states it is held in disre- pute, especially among the ranks of free toiIers, whether organized or un- organized. When the state, the prison CT or his family receives the profit from prison labor and not some contracting firm which pays to the state the pal try sum of from B to - cents per day for the toil of it's wards the mouth of the objector is silenced."
 Mr. Venn outlined the compensation plan operated in the Detroit house of correction, which he said had met with general commentators.
 Michigan may well be proud of one of it's penal institutions which is not only self sustaining" MT. Venn contin- ued but which has in vogue a CO., operative plan of payment to all prls- oners confined within it's walls for per iods of 90 days or over. This is the Detroit house of correction which oc- oupies unique position among not only the prisons of Michigan, but of America as well, if not of the world.
 July 6, 1911. the Detroit House of Correction passed it's fiftieth milestone. During the last 32 years over s1.000,0oo in profits were turned over to the city of Detroit, the families of prisoners. and to the prisoners themselves. Since 1880 the city of Detroit has annually received sums ranging from s9,O16.S3 to s52,711.G4. The original eXpendi- ture by the city of s1S9,S1.36 has been turned back into the treasury Of the municipality, the institution has paid it's own way. and in the 30 years shown a s fine balance of s1,2541IS15 In addition 10 this showing, since July 1901 the prisoners have been receiv- ing financial benefits ranging from s5,g58.l4 to s9,670.35 annually.
 "In addition 10 amounts paid to pris- oners some of which is sent by the men to their families, provision Is made for the families of those who are imprisoned on the charge of aban- donment This is accomplished under a statute which provides that s1.50 per week for the wife and an additional 50 cents for each child under , years of age be paid them out of the funds of tic institutions"

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

1.-The way to get cheerful is to smile
when you feet bad, to think about
somebody else's headache when your
own is most bursting, to keep a-beliey-
ing the sun is a-shinin when the
clouds is thick enough to ut."-Lovey
Mary.
The man-who- thinks came up the
street behind me the other evening
whistling most happily.
Happy tonight?". inquired as he
overlook me.
well, no, Hiss Cameron, to tell the
truth I'm rather the opposite" he said.
I'm whistling because I want to be
cheerful You can't always be happy,
1 say, but you can always be cheerful. -
Seems to me there's a world of
philosophy in that last sentence
you can't always be happy but you
can always be cheerful"
You can't always say what shall
happen to you but you can have full
control over the way in which you
shall take it.
You can't control fate but you can
always smile at it's worst efforts.
Of course you love Henley's splendid
lines,
cit matters not
How charged with punishment the
scroll,
1 am the master of my fate,
1 am the captain of my SOUL"
bus perhaps you have only thought OF
them as being connected with the
mountain tops of life.
1t seems to me that there is a finer
application in connection with the val
legs Of everyday living.
The man who is captain of his soul,
in the truest sense, will be able to say
of the petty disappointments and trials
of life: These circumstances can
hinder me but they cannot alter my
serenity. They may keep me from be-
ing happy but they cannot keep me
from being cheerful"
To be sure this ideal of cheerfulness
is not any easy thing to live up to, but
it's first reward is that the man who
can say, "One can always be cheer
full may know that he is most truly
captain of his soul.''
Its second is that he will not lack
for friends.
Stevenson has said, "a happy man or
woman is a better thing to find than a
five pound note,'' and don't see why
it shouldn't be true of the cheerful
man as well.
And the third reward will probably
be that the outward cheerfulness he
forces himself to maintain will grad
ually create an inward habit of hap
piness.
You can't always he happy but you
can always be cheerful, and If you ara
cheerful you will probably be happy.
1t sounds paradoxical, but it's true
just the same.

MARKET is QUIET.
No Important Changes in the General
Price Levels.

New York, March 18.-Following
brief period of activity early in the
week, in which stocks were advanced
sharply, the market became quiet
without important changes in general
price levels. The decision of the Uni
ted States supreme court UNFOLDING
the corporation tax law, perhaps the
most important development of the
week from the Wall street point of
view, was received with a degree of
tranquility which gave added conf
dence in the strong position of the
market and encouraged the bullish
activities which followed. The unex-
pectedly good showing in the report
of February foreign trade and events
foreshadowing possible adjustment of
the Mexican tangle were favorable
factors.
Repeated attempts to depress the
market in the latter part of the week
were of little avail, the extent of the
snort interest and the disposition of
large holders to protect their stocks
effectively offsetting those efforts.

TRUE TO IRELAND.
Chef in Columbia University Refused
to Make Orange Sherbet Dessert.

New York. March 1S.-Though his
patriotic feeling nearly cost him his
job, Dennis O'Shea, one of the chefs
in the Columbia university, commons,
fatty refused to profane st. Patrick s
day by making orange sherbet as the
dessert for the evening meal. He told
Clarence R. Jones. the student mana
ger, that he would prevent any of the
other chefs from doing SO as long as
any breath remained in his body.
Jones made out the bill of fare on
Thursday evening and when he put
down orange sherbet it did not occur
to him that the dish would hardly be
appropriate for March IT. O'Shea
noticed the offending dish yesterday
and rebe1led. The situation was final
ly solved by serving raspberry sherbet,
although the students had been eating
raspberry Sherbet every night for a
week and were beginning to get tired
of it. They will have orange sherbet
tonight.
