P Penitentiary Board Finds That State Pays Too Much For
 Luxuries.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Oct. 4.-The State Penitentiary Board held a rather amusing session yester- day afternoon going over the re- quisition list of supplies for the penitentiary for the coming month. Every time the list called for 3 delicacy, it was ex- plained that it was for the hos pial.
 This aroused Attorney Gen. eral Norwood and he exclaimed: Why, we could keep the sick of the peniteiltiary in St. Vim cents Infr1nary for the price they are now costing the state. Every time anything outside Of bacon and beans is wanted, fl is marked for the hospital. 7 Canned tomatoes, fresh beef and such food was the kind objected to. Directly the list shows ma caroni. Get Joe Robinson to send down some nlaccaroni seed from Washington and let the convicts raise it on the farm suggested the attorney general.
 When the item of thread was reached, Attorney General Nor wood was willing to give them all the convicts could use, "they can't eat that being his re- mark. The members of the board discussed furnishing the convicts with caps, such as aye worn in the Illinois penitentiary, for the winter. These can be made at 20 cents each in the in- stitution, while high prices are now being paid for hats.
 It was reported to the board that citizens of Malvern desired the state to take stock in the re- organization of the chair facto- ry at that place or else send convicts from Reform School and penitentiary, to operate the plant. Attorney General Nor wood said the boys could not be worked outside the grounds of the institution, and advised against sending the convicts to| Malvern. The citizens of Nal vern who were to present the proposition did not show up and the matter was not finally acted upon, but will be at an adjourn ed meeting to be held Friday morning.

.UNLUCKY YEAR
THIS FOR LOVERS

LONDON, Oct. 21.-Is 1911 an I'M
lucky year for lovers? The query is
suggested by the unusual number of
society engagements that have been
broken off during this year.
In the first three weeks of January
five shattered romances were re-
corded in the social columns of tie
newspapers. After that the epidemic
waned until September, when it ere

There were no fewer than eight of
those sinister announcements that

means.
OF course, the matches declared
"off" concern families of some social
distinction, who do not usually mix
themselves up in breach of promise
cases, so that the reasons for so
much blighting of young lives will
never be generally known.

MOVING PICTURES
HAVE NEW USE

SAN JOSE, October 21-Eugene
Barr a railroad man of this city, who
was formerly in the theatrical bust
ness, has purchased a moving picture
machine, which he says he will use in
the political campaign in this city
this winter, as a result of a row with
the city authorities over sewer breaks
in a residence section where he owns
several houses.
Barr accuses the street department
of dilatoriness in fixing the breaks,
and threatens to turn his moving pic
ture outfit on various subjects that he
says will cause the municipal admin
istration embarrassment.
"Films only cost nine cents a foot,
he said, land it will only cost me $50
a thousand feet to get campaign ma
teral which would put in a new set
of officers"
Barr says he has a plan for making
moving pictures of the mosquitoes
which are breeding in stagnant pools
of sewerage.

The fire on La Lberte broke out

quiry will endeavor to establish the
facts, but in the meantime sinister in
ferences are in circulation.
Either there is a certain want of
precaution, which is a theory rejected
by admirers of the navy, or the acct
dents have been caused with malign
purpose.
Upon the latter superstition the de-
structive accidents might have been
melted by the communistic revolu-
tionary propaganda carried on in the
navy by civilian agitators, or they
may have been detached acts of en-
Uttered individuals in private rebel

Scarcely a day throughout the year

graph and telephone wires, the de.

own for these acts. 1t is sabotage"

conditions in the district:

Sanitary Committee.
Gentlemen: In pursuance of the
action of Waialae, Kaimuki and
Palolo Improvement Club, Ltd, taken
at a special meeting held on Wednes-
day evening last of which you have
previously been advised. and in ac-
Cordance with the clubs interpreta-
ton of the appeal of Dr. D. H. Currie,
director of the anti-mosquito cam
paign, to the citizens of Honolulu, a
rally of the inhabitants of this dis
trict was called for Sunday morning
last for the purpose of inspecting the
sanitary conditions of the district,
with reference especially to places
breeding mosquitoes.
In response to the call a large as
sembly of householders mustered at
the appointed rendezvous when a
special meeting of the club was called
to decide whether it was advisable
and appropriate to proceed with the
proposed investigation.
The club thereupon resolved to go
ahead Accordingly parties of volun-
teer inspectors Immediately went out
and covered the entire district.
The substance of the reports is
hereby respectfully submitted to your
honorable body, being appended here
to, in the hope that the facts exhib-

value to the great campaign now

My strong impression is that the

Tragic House of Parnell.
There are some families around
which there gather innumerable
tragedies. Fate in its most grim
and forbidding form, seems to pursue
them and is unwilling to be satisfied
until practically it has extirpated
them.
In the dramatic literature of Greece
families of this kind constantly occur.
The Greek mythology describes them
as pursued by the furies. In our more
modern cities is found that tragic fate
is partially the creation of some ner-
vous or other malady and partially
the result of inauspicious stars.
There is no family in modern times
to which these observations will APP
ply more completely than the family
of the Parnells. 1t has been a doomed
house. In the eighteenth century
there was a Parnell who was a poet
of distinction and who was received
gladly into the best literary circles,
and was friend of Edmund Burke,
Oliver Goldsmith and Doctor Johnson
and Joseph Addison. but he found no
better ending to his life than self
inflicted death by throwing himself
into the Thames.
The family is distinctly English in
its origin and also in many of it's
characteristics. 1t comes originally
from the town of Congleton, which is
