 The Success was a convict ship un- 'il 1857. when the terrible cruelties Of he system aroused the English peo- pie to actisn. She was removed from lVilliamstown to Sandridge in 1857, and from 1860 to 1868 was used as a woman's prison" The following year ihc ship was used as a sort of re- ioru'atory for boys.
 Late in 1890 the Success first ap- peared before the public as ship on show. Her general structure is we'll worthy of description.
 The ships external appearance is particularly striking in these days of ocean greyhounds Her sruare-cut stern md quarter galleries stamp he st once with the hallmark of aE- tiquity, and her bluff bow shows that she could never have distinguished herself for high rate of speed.
 Her tonnage may be taken at 530. She Is l35 feet in length, about 29 feet beam, copper fastened. ard tire nailed" throughout. Her solid sides are two feet six riches in thickness at the hi'ge, so that prisoners from within recoiled from the hopeless task of penetrating her walls.

 with the British convict hulk Success This indicates that what has been termed the most remarkable ship l that has visited England since the days of the slave trade" is bound foi American ports, presumably Boston or New York, on an exhibition cruise similar to that made in British waters during the past sixteen years.
 The Success sailed from Australia on It's long exhibition cruise in 1895 She has dropped anchor at practically every port of England. The vessel itself is a rare curiosity, with a strange, fiction.like history, and con tains a collection of relics of the Dushranging days of Australia. At each port attendants explain the ex- nibits and descriptive lectures are giv- en on the Various phases of convict life.
 The history of the Success as a convict ship dates back to the mad rush in search of wealth that fol lowed the discovery of the Australian goldfields in 1851. Port Williamstown, nine miles distant from Melbourne, was filled with every variety of craft bearing immigrants. One day, looming above all other ships, came quaint, old full-rigged vessel, with apple sides, broad bulging bows, standing high out of the water, and the name Success displayed the full width of her square cut stern, over the windows and be. low the tafrail She proved to be a "country-built" East Indiaman. She dropped anchor midst the army of white wings which then dotted the harbor.
 In the confusion and excitement that resulted from the sudden influx of immigration, murder and crime ran riot. Robbery under arms was re- ported every few days. and 1t seemed

MONROE county could have permanent roads if only a hal f dozen citizens of the county would go together with that pur- pose and give of their time, energy and talent to plan the works. The farmers of Monroe county are today paying a tax of fully $50, 900 a year at the least, in the way of extra wear and tear on their teams and wagons to say nothing of the loss they sustain in inability to haul loads, etc., because of the miserable excuses of roads. With perma- nent roads every acre of land would double in valuation, just as has been the case in every other state. This would be the advantage of the land owner. The merchant would get his ad- vantage from the increased de from the people who would move into a country with roads. AS 1t is, it is next to a1 mp ossible task to induce people U move

 Every jail is an indictmentof of Iicuor license. for four-fifths of the criminals are the finished product of the liquor traffic. f
 How many orphans homes, asylums for the poor, blind and insane. are built and supported by the liquor men? They only furnish the inmates, while the temperance people have to fur lish the means. :"
 Therefore, it behooves every man who loves God, home, and native land, to go to the polls or the Sth of September and vote against license, which is to keer iiquor selling out of the county, and be sure to vote for Act No, 2. which is to put liquor selling out of the state.

THE MARYLAND'S MISSION
 IN ALASKAN WATERS

Continued I,um page f. ago, when q congressional inves- tlSatiOn was requested.
 The order issued by Secretary Meyer doubtless is the result of Investigations made last winter al the time when intervention in Mexico was threatened. It was then discovered that in the event of war the foreign ships which ihr Secretary nf the Navy had chartered, would br subject to at tack on the ground of carrying contraban'l of war, and that tho Pacific fleet would be left hrIp- less. II was also pointed out that ih" Alaska coal is 2.0OO miles nearer in ih" Philippines than the Mar" Island roaling station, and more than i2,000 miles nearer tu the Philippines than the present Snurc" of supply in West Virgin ia.
 Alaskan fuel was tested for ma val purposes as carly as 1908. when it. gave return nf little more than two per cent. greater utility for all naval purposes than the fuel from the eastern coast which iS now used.

They Are Charged With House Breaking at Kodiak and Are
 old Offenders

Willie Mcdonald and Fred Nor rison, two boys, were bound over to the grand jury at Kodiak fo1 breaking into the A. C. store.
 They broke into a number of places during the past year and were getting so bold ill their un- dertakings that at last Deputy Marshal Armstrong was notified.
 The officer, upon making an examination of the premises, and learning that loose gold was not taken, immediately surmised that boys were the culprits with the result that he had the guilty par site under arrest by night.
 These two boys were appre- hended breaking into the A. C. store last year, but owing to their youth and promises to reform, were permitted to go free. It is said they were cnticing other youths to follow in their foot steps.
 Both prisoners will be brought to Valdez and if convicted will be sent to the Missouri restraining school for boys.

 The next president will be Gov ernor Wilson we are confident, and you would be more in touch with the administration than any one not a Democrat. You could be more effective in departmental work thar. one not in harmony with the administration. The fu- lure of your territory depends much upon Democratic suprem- acy, and you, with your knowl- edge of conditions, would be of incstimablc value in framing a policy for Alaska which would tend to develop it's best interests.
 The Democratic party stands for the people, and I know of no place where those need more pro- lection than in Alaska. Alaska, in the light of it's own best inter- ests, needs an active Democrat here and we hope it will send you because we believe you can best serve Alaska. Sincerely yours,

 The Democratic national con 'grcSSional committee is very anX- ious that you may be elected to Congress. The House of Repre- scntatives at present is complete ly under the control of the Dcm- ocratic party, and a Democrat is more likely to impress the needs of Alaska in legislation than any one else, because he would be identified with the organization.
