 Inmate Introduces Better Methods.

New York, Dec. 1.-Thomas Mott Osborne, known for his interests in prison reforms, today assumes the du- ties of warden of Sing Sing, replac- ing former Warden Mccormick, wEc was removed The post was offered to MT. Osborne by Prisons Superin- tendent John B. Riley at the request of Gov Glynn. He would not accept it until he received assurance from Governor Whitman that he would not be interfered with after the beginning of the year. Among those who are familiar with the con- ditions existing in the big prison, it is agreed that Mir. Osborne has tack
 led one of the hardest jobs known to penology. MT. Osborne is B years
 old, an independent Democrat, and an
 enemy of Tammany. Last fall, as
 ''Tcm Brcwn," MT. Osborne senteEc-
 ed himself to week in Auburn pri-
 son and served out his term When
 released he helped to organize at Au-
 burn a modified system of self gov
 ernment, and as a result of his dis
 closures certain antiquated admints-
 trative methods were abolished. As
 deputy attorneys general last year

 tion of Sing Sing prison. He was so
 aroused by what he found there he
 declared he would Cevote his fortune

rNINE BLUTT
 ROaREsS 1 ROSPERITY
TURN ON THE LIGHT.

1.-The people need to turn the great white light of publicity on the state board of charities, judging from de- t!aration of Dr. Greene, who re- Enquished the superintendency Mon day. Gen. Thomas Green of Pine Bluff is now member of the board, and his presence thereon makes cer- tain that no such abuses will occur in future as are alleged to have been perpetrated in the past. But II the charges made are true, those guilty should be driven from office in disgrace, and prosecuted in the criml- nal courts.
 According to pr. Greene certain members of the board first became hostile to him when he refused to ap- lrove vouchers drawn In violation or law on current expense funds to meet obligations incurred by the installa- ton of the heating system, after $75,- GOO appropriated for the purpose by the legislature had been squandered.
 Whether the charges are true, re- mains to be determined. The fact, however, that the board elected +o install the system itself instead of contracting with some firm for the entire plant, seems just a bit pc culiar.
 The most thorough investigation should be made, and those named 70 make the investigation should be men whose reputation insure that the inquiry will not be intended as a <'whitewashing" job.

consuls Have Troubles.

The stranded American is the bane of the consul His office is invaded by persons claiming his good offices after their plans have gone askew. Those in better circumstances d ,mand that the consul indorse their notes at the bank, those in poorer circumstances demauS to be sent home. It is arpar. ex.tly a fixed idea that a consul can draw on the treasury for the relief of stranded Americans. Many cases of dls.ness are pitiable and consuls, not even ;scouped against the social ex. penses .;scidental to their position, have to g,y~ relief out of their pri. vate means aa,A to stand the inev- ttable loss. The cnly persons whom consuls are authorized by law to aid are sailors on the articles of . vessel of American registry wrecked within their consular districts, and in this case only to the extent of immediate relief and passage to the next Amer ican port.

UNCLE SAM PERPETRATES A
 JOKE {?

The internal revenue department of the federal government displayed lit tie efficiency in putting into effect the war tax law. While deputy CO.,.
 lectors were sent out to enforce tn , collection of such part of the tax as was to be paid in currency, no pro
 vision at all was made to aid law
 abiding people in complying with the stamp tax provisions. Beginning yes
 terday telegrams, certain receipts and other Instruments had to bear a war tax stamp. But the internal revenue department made no effort to supply stamps to Pine Bluff peo
 ple and consequently great inconven
 ifnce and some financial loss was caused. That this situation. this de- linquency was general appears to be a fact, for we find Albuquerque (N. M Herald making the same com rlaint. But for the seriousness ot the situation it would seem like a joke that congress should pass law,

CHAPTER 10 Bretheren, my hearts desire and prayer to God for Israel, is that they might be saved.
 2. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not ac- cording to knowledge. 3. For they being ignorant oi Gods righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that helieveth.

QUESTIONS ABOUT STATE HOSPITAL
The Little Rock Gazette Pro- pounds Queries Concern
 ing Charges.

Concerning the charges of misap- plication of funds appropriated for the installation of a heating system at the State hospital and of the fund for current expenses of the institu- tion, the Little Rock Gazette pro- pounds some queries which are ap- pended:
 The last legislature appropriated $75,000 to provide heating and power plant for the State Hospital for Nervous Disease. It's construc- tion was put in the hands of the State Charities Board. The board did not let one general contract for the plant, but under a plan of Secretary R. w. Hart, bought material, hired labor and awarded many subcon- tracts.
 Is it true that to haul material for ttis plant the board bought 20 mules at a cost of S5,250, the $25D represent ing discount, and wagons and har- ness to the amount of more than Sl,- 900 and that Secretary Hart's brother ;n-raw was put over this organiza- ton at salary of $75 month, with conveyance and negro driver? Is it true that in addition to the St. Louis engineer who was paid SF 900 to supervise the erection of the plant and was paid $766.16 for othe: services, the engineer who had form erly been employed at the. Blind school at $60 month was employed as assistant engineer at $10O month? Is it true that man said to be relative of Secretary Har1 was later put in general charge o1 l the work as another engineer al $l2s month, with board, room and laun dry?
 Is it true that when Dr. Greene superintendent of the hospital, de c.ared that in his judgment the $7o., coo provided for the new plant would be wholly inadequate to complete tn work unles, overhead charges coult ha reduced and system of efficlen activities established additional nos tilitv was shown toward him in the Charities Board and he was clrtuall! told to mind his own business? Is it true that when all the $75,OO' Tad been spent and cerditors demand ed money vouchers were draWl against the current expense fund o the hospital in paymen for englnes senerators, boilers and other thlng .o the apprc ximate amount Of $3o, eco: and that when these vouchers were presented to pr. Greene for mi approval he refused to approve then on the ground that such procedur' i would be unlawful, but these voucn CTS were paid without his approval Is it true that up to October 5l, l9ls s.;9 261,O of the expense of the neat ing and power plant had been chars ce. to the hospitals current expens fund?
 Is it true that when Dr. Greene re fused to approve some $3o,ooo o yo.,chers drawn against the. curren ex,ense fund hostilities against hin were renewed and repeated eftort made to get four votes ln the Cnari ties Board to ask for his resignation
 Is it true that the mules and naui ing outfit were sold to a contracto for $5,5OO and that part of the mon. far paid by the contractor wa used to buy an automobile and tha

GOOD CRAFT REMEDY.

According to rumors there's con- siderable graft in some of the state institutions of Arkansas. To remedy this condition, we suggest the metho adopted by President Yuan Shih Kal who ordered the execution of General Wang, close personal friend, for bribery and selling offices under him. The dispatch says President Yuan then sent an emissary "to the gen erals family expressing regret at having to fulfill the jaw in order to stamp out corruption, and of his in tention to provide for the mainten- ance of the family" We send men and women to China to convert the Chinese to Christianity; China might reciprocate by sending men here to stamp out graft in public places.

SnoM-Proof Eoota.
Members of arctic expediti

Members of arctic expeditions have found that gum boots are not proof against the entrance of moisture for snow water seems to penetrate the rubber where the boots are in more or less constant use for long period of time. This is prevented by an oc- casionai application of shellac. which effectually keeps the moisture out, even when subjected to the hardest wear. Shellac can also be made use of to advantage in coating the thongs of snow shoes for the purpose of re- sisting the moisture when moving over the wet snov'. The shoes thus treated enable the men to make much better headway over the snow with less eff
 fort. The thongs which have been treated with shellac are also said to dry out quicker after use than others

The Chamber of Commerce plan to build 40 miles of good roads at d cost of $7O0,00O and pay for them with scrip to be redeemed in later years is all right, if there can be found persons willing to accept and hold this scrip so as to prevent great de- preciation of the county's money. We could use the 140 milas of good roads, all right, and it is to be hope'l the-Chamber of Commerce will re- 'ceive the cooperation necessary to make the plan a success. The Graphic feels certain that Count; Judge .Philpot will welcome an op- pcrtunity to build such a system O. roads under plan so favorable to inc county as that by which the Pu- laski courthouse was constructed.

 Il. For the scripture saith, Whoso- ever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
 12. For there is no difference be- tween the Jew and the Greek; for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved 14. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
 15. And how shall they preach except they be sent? as it is written How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, an'I bring glad tidings of good things!
 16. But they have not all obeyel the gospel. For Esiaias saith, Lord who hath believed our report!
 IF. So then faith cometh by hear ing, and hearing by the word of God
 Is. But I say, Have they not | card? Yes verify, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
