The Moral Wave

Little Rock, Ang. 15.-At the time when Little Rock is making preparations to rigidly enforce the laws regarding morality in it's community, the receipts at the Arkansas Penitentiary for the past sixty days furnishes a rather interesting lesson.
 In the past 60 days there have been 116 convicts admitted into the penitentiary. Of these, 23 arrived to serve sentences i'm. posed for violations of the moral. ity laws. All were sentenced from small towns and from the country. The. victim in nearly every case was under legal age.

This levee has never been standard height, and will require quite a little raising in a number of places. The state will receive about S4,000 dollars for the work, and it will be done with convicts at times when they are not re- quired in the fields.

tory in It's Methods.

London. Dec l5.-The delegates from
the United States 60 the international
Conference on Safety of Life at Sea de-
clare that they have almost reached the
limit Of their patience. Several Of them
to-day openly expressed their dissastis-
faction with what they regard az the
unnecessary protractlon OF the delibera-
tons. and their views are largely shared
by the Canadian and Australasian dele
gates
Since the opening meeting Of the con-
ference at the Foreign Office, on NOvem-
Der r. there has been no plenary ses-
SION. and the work of the sectional com
mittees, among which the delegates of the
twelve nations represented are divided,
has been so dilatory that there seems
little prospect Of the full conference meet
ing again until after the holidays
The opinion is spreading that when the
decisions Of the conference have been
reached and published. they will be so
bound with red tape that they will not
be agreeable 20 the man in the street

The founder Of the house of Bedford
was John Russell. TO whom was granted
the abbey Of Tavistock and estates in
Devonshire, Northamptonshire and
Bedfordshire by Edward VI in 1862.
Although the Bedford estate is huge,
Il is not the largest, for the Duke OF
Westminsters annual income is at least
SO, 10000 from his property alone. The
Duke Of Portland's estates, too. are
large.
Mr.. Mallaby- Deeley has not been
backed by a syndicate. nor has he acted
as the agent Of others. Moreover, he
has no intention Of forming a syndi-
cate hereafter. He remarked to-day:
There is very little TO say about tho

bought the estate purely as private
investment. and the estate will be car
ried on just as hitherto. 1t will GER
tainly not be turned into a company,

Every one is now asking, What will
the Duke Of Bedford do with his money.
1t is fairly certain that he won't rem
vest it in England, and the probability
is that he will follow the example of
the Dul.e Of Sutherland and buy land
