May 2l-Ehzabeth Fry.

OF all those who have gained distinc-
ton as prison reformers none have been
moro distinguished than Elizabeth Fry.
who was born May II. 17S0. As a young
girl she was. in her own later estima-
ton. gay and worldly. but on reaching
Is or IS she was much impressed by
the preaching of a Quaker minister and
from this she dates her conversion. At 20
she was married to Mr.. Fry. with whom
she passed the remainder Of her long
life. But unfortunately he was a man
of cold and commonplace nature. but Ill
suited to share the life Of so remarkable
a woman.
1t was when she was g. and busy with
the cares of a large family Of children.
that she CHANGED to visit Newsate prison.
There she found conditions almost un-
believably bad. There were thirty women
with their children crowded in two wards
and two cells. There they lived. slept.
cooked. washed their clothes and ate
day and night. They were without change
of clothing and without any bedding or
nightclothes. Their food consisted only
of what they could cook for themselves.
They were Of all classes-criminals and
weddings, crowded In together. begging.
swearing. gambling. singing and dancing
together In spite Of their misery.

poor creatures she was warned Of the
risk she ran and told not to take any
valuables in with her. Even the gov
ernor Of the prison was afraid to enter
the wards unprotected But Mrs. Fry
was unafraid and 50 great were the re-
suits Of the little talk that she delivered
to these women that she decided to turn
her attention to this work She pro-
vided the prisoners with clothes. started
a school for them and came frequently
to read the Bible to them. Her work here
was Of such remarkable effect that she
turned her attention to other prisons
where the conditions among the women
inmates was practically the same.
At one time Mrs. Fry's husband went
into bankruptcy and. although this I'M
posed many home duties on her, she
continued her prison work unfiinchtngiy.
In England and the Continent a. well she
was famous for her good works and In
every class Of society she was known
and beloved. without doubt she ranks
among the half dozen most famous phil
anthropists that England has ever known

Ts the Taxpayers Of Mt. Sterling:

On behalf of the City Council and
myself | earnestly ask you to read
the city report published in this pa
per. Few taxpayers have an idea
for what purposes their money is
used. You will notice that it takes
about thirty thousand dollars a
year to run the city, that three items
alone take nearly all of it to-wit !:
water and light, about $500; Of
ficers' salaries, about $1,000, and
$4,000 for sinking fund to retire
sewer bonds, thus leaving very little
for the thousand and one things a
city is called upon to spend money
for.
This city pays no more than 9th
ers of the same size for water and
light, all demand that they have
both, SO, it is impossible to cut this
expense, however, others will be re-
duced during the coming year, GER
tain Offices will be combined, salar-
les of others reduced and some abol-
ished, thus making an effort to keep
the expenses of the city within the
revenue.

OBITUARY
A Long Life Ended

lingering illness, Mrs. Ann E. Mitch
ell passed peacefully to her Eternal
Home. She was daughter of
Richard Apperson, ST., and was
born in this city June 9, 1928. She
was married in 1916 to S. D. Mitch
ell, promising young lawyer and
politician, and a prominent Mason,
one of his addresses on the tenets
of that fraternity is still preserved
by members of his family, rare
gem of oratory. Mr.. Mitchell went
to Mexico with the Kentucky Vol
unteers and on his return from the
war, was elected to the State Leg
islature and died in 1854. Mrs.
Mitchell united with the Presbyter-
ian church in her early childhood
and no ecclesiastical body ever had
more loyal or moAe faithful adher-
ent.
For so years she taught SUM-
day School class and a number of
men now prominent as ministers or
officers Of that body, confess their
Indebtedness to Mrs. Mitchell for
her interest and untiring efforts in
their behalf during the formative
period Of their lives.
Childlike and gracious herself she
instinctively attracted the children,
and even the rudest of them were
temporarily at least, held in check
by her quiet demeanor and the cor
diality of their reception. Her SYM
pathetic ear was ever open to their
childish complaints and she never
failed to comfort and quiet them.
Her main characteristics were
unselfishness and a sublime faith in
the good of humanity, for no one
ever heard her say one harsh or
unkind thing about her fellowman.
Her singular charm of person and
character caused her to be greatly
loved by all who came within the
circle of their influence. Her heart
was pure, no anger ever remained in
it, no guile tainted it, for only peace
and good will dwelt in it.
Physically, she was never very
strong and for years had not left the
house and for many weary months
had been bed-fast. Her Bible
was her solace and constant COM
panion and though she had commit
ted large part of it to memory
her greatest pleasure was to have
some one read aloud the old, old
story Of Jesus and His love. Her
last hours seemed free from pain
of any kind and life ebbed away so
slowly and so quietly that those
who watched beside her, could not
tell just the moment when the end
had come.
In her case Life indeed had been
her Jairer, and Death, the Angel sent
to draw the unwilling bolts and set
her spirit free, yet
