Mrs. Albright. who has been

rapid advancement since they

struction, the majority of whom
received promotion cards this
term, which speaks for her a.
bility as a tutor.
Miss Hurley rendered her res

Indian Becomes Actor.

Big Wop, a full blooded Usage
Indian, who is a graduate of
Carlysle, decided after all his
schooling that sitting in an office
waiting for some tribesman to
get into trouble, that he might
plead his case, was too slow a
life for a fast Indian to lead, so
he looked to other quarters for
a livelihood. After trying sever
al things, he decided that the
theatre was his calling, and he
has proven to have a remarkable
talent in his chosen line. He
portrays the part Of Big Chief in
"a Texas Ranger" that plays

Little Rock, May 27.-The sug-
gestion that the heroic self
sacrifice of Prof. w. A. Craw-
ford and Miss VanLandingham,
who lost their lives Saturday in
a vain escort to rescue Miss
Frances Crawford and Miss
Meade from death in the Hi
nois river, be reported to the
Carnegie Hero Fund Commits
sion, meets with the hearty ap-
prevail of the public.
Prof. Crawford had a host of
friends in Little Rock and over
the state, and all consider it
most fitting that his heroic deed
be honored out Of a fund that
has been set apart to honor no.
BILE deeds. Full accounts of the
tragedy which resulted in the
loss of four lives will be forward,
ed to the commission, and it is
expected that favorable action
will be taken upon them when
the next awards are made.

He outlined the policies he IA
vors.
Mr.. Brundidge Replies.
Judge Hays has spent 45
minutes in criticising me, with
now and then a statement say
ing that he has never criticised
me-" said Mr.. Brundidge when
his turn to speak came. "A
Joint debate would have elimin-
ated all this trouble. Judge
Hays is opposing nothing but me
in this campaign. His platform
extends from Cape Cod to Kala-
mazoo and from Maine to Next
co."
Mr.. Brundidge said that Judge
Hays had declared that he IA
vored the act Of the last legisla-
ture creating the state Peniten-
tiary Commission.
''Well, l oppose it good and
plenty" said Mr.. Brundidge.
Mr.. Brundidge referred to the
attacks that have been made up
on him in the Kensett keynote
and scathingly denounced Judge
Hays in connection. He said
that Judge Hays had compared
himself with Thomas Jefferson
to "prove that he is the real JEFF
ferson fellow"
The rest of Mr.. Brundidge's
speech was along the same lines
that he has followed in other
places.
Both candidates were given
enthusiastic receptions.

stealing apples from the squire's or
chard had been sentenced TO penal
servitude for life, after, by the kings
mercy, they had escaped hanging.
1t is said that an average of one
third the total number of prisoners
usually died on the six months voy-
age out and many more soon after
landing of disease contracted in the
horrible cells of the Success. And af.
ter having climbed down the ladders
TO the gloom of the berth-deck, or the
still more terrible hold below, and
seen the narrow cells, measuring four
feet by seven, and the ponderous
irons in which the miserable prison,
ers spent their days and nights,
thrown helplessly against the side al
every roll of the ship, one wonders
not that SO many died, but that any
of them survived.
If ones nerves are weak or if one
is given to gloomy thoughts, he had
best stay away from the Success. She
has been admirably calculated to take
away peoples appetites for dinner
Fac-similes of the confessions of muir
derers and original warrants for sen
fencing people to transportation are
hung on the bulkheads in place of pic
lures, together with leg irons and
yokes and bilboes, every one of which
at one time was worn by human be
ing.
The most cheerful thing on the ship
is the quantity and beautifully carved
old pinnacle. But on each side is one
of the old rusty carronadss which
used to be loaded to the muzzle witt
grape and trained on the main hatch
ready to fire at the first sign of an up
rising.

New York-The other day there
sailed into New York harbor a strange
craft. Her barkentine rig, bluff bows,
high poop and forecastle, enormous
fgurehead and great square stern
contrasted strangely with the modern
steel, steam-propelled craft which lay
about her. II was easy TO believe the
statement OF her owner and captain,
d. II. Smith, that she is the oldest
ship afioat.
On her bluff bow was painted, to
either side, Convict Ship Success"
For years and years, in the early part
of the 18Th century, she piled back
and forth on the long ocean-track be
tween England and Australia, bearing
to the island continent crowds OF con-

she is a museum, sailing from port TO

Made of teakwood, the finest wood
that there is for ships, she was laid
down 1T Moulmein in Burmah in 1880
In those days. when she was the crack
ship of the East India trade, and, lat
er, when as a convict ship she was
the most execrated vessel in the
world, she was full rugged, but now
for convenience in handling she has
been cut down to barkentine rig. II
was under this rig that Captain Smith
sailed her from Melbourne to England
and then to Boston, Providence and
New York.
1t was in 1906 that the Success
made her first voyage from Ports
