COMPLETES FORTY
 YEARS IN PRISON

Boston, Mass, Sep. 6.-Jesse Pome- roy, serving a life sentence for mur- der, today completed his 10th year in solitary confinement at the state pris- on in Charlestown. Pomeroy is said to have served in solitary longer han any other prisoner in this country and. unless the commitment order is changed, he will have to be kept in that manner until he dies. He began his sentence at the age of 16, after having been convicted of diabolical attacks on several small children. In recent years numerous efforts have been made to secure for him the priv ileges of a "trusty," but all of these have been unavailing. Numerous at tempts at escape have been made by the notorious prisoner and these, to- gether with his known predilectfon for taking human life, have influenc- ed the authorities in strictly adhering to the conditions of the original sen 'tence which prescribed solitary inn prisonment.
 While solitary Imprisonment" is the name given to the punishment Pomeroy is undergoing, it does not mean that he never leaves his cell. He goes out in the yard every day in charge of guard, and spends an hour there. But that is while the ether prisoners are at work in the shops. During the forty years tha' he has been confined Pomeroy has seldom scene the face of human be- ing other than those of his keepers and of his aged mother. who died scv- eral years ago.

SCHOOLS SUFFER
 THRU LEGISLATURE

Little Rock, Sept. 6-The school fund this year lost about $25.000 on account of the fact that the legisla- ture of 1915 made no provision for the payment of the interest on the $1 100000 bonds held by the state for the schools, In 1913 the sinking fund of one-eighth mill was discontinued, lut there was enough left in the fund to pay tbe interest of 1914 and 1915 and $3,00O on the university bonds and SS,400 on the common school bonds this year. The state holds S116,000 on behalf of the university, and unless the interest is paid the state forfets the annual allotment from the Nor rell fund, amounting to S40,000. The whole subject of investing the bonds is to be investigated by special com- mittce of the sate board of educa- ticn, and some action by the next leg islature will be imperative.

NO MAN LIVES TO
 HIMSELF ENTIRELY
Negro Evangelist, in Strong Address Shows Duty MaM Owes to His
 Fellows.
Copyright, ,

"Every Man His Brothers Keeper, was the subiect of the discourse by Dr. R. A. Adams, evangelist, at St. John church last night. The text was Gen. 4:9, "Am my brothers keeper y The preacher declared that every man is to every other man brother, since God is the common Father, of all; every man is dependent upon his fellow man; every man is his bro h. CTS keeper and is responsible for the welfare of his brother to the extent of his ability to conserve and protect the interests of his brother; every man shall be judged and condemned CT acquitted accordingly as he has discharged these duties or ignored them. The following are extracts from the sermon: @~
 "Every man is the keeper or his brothers peace and happifess. He is under obligations to- do Whatever he can to increase the sum~,-of human happiness and to refrain from doing anything which will destroy his peace and happiness. H4f
 "Every man is the keeper of his brothers reputation. A mans use fitness depends more on his reputa- ton than his character since his rep utation is what he is believed to be. His character may be faulty, yet, if he has good reputation and the people have confidence in him, he may be able to serve humanity; but destroy his reputation and his usefulness is gone. By lying, slander,3 misrepre- sentations, men destroy mems repu- tations and end their Usefulness; families have been broken up, wo- mems lives blasted by the slanderers vile tongue: but God will not allow these crimes to go unpunished.
 "Every man is the keeper of his brothers character. Every life has influence over some other life, and as life touches life, character touches character, the most vital interests are involved and temporal and eternal destinies decided. .......
 Every man is the keeper of his brothers physical life. Every mans life; is in the keeping of every other man and God will require accounting from every man. Employers who re- fuse living wages, causing suffering of the children of their employees, un- just judges who sentence innocent men to death, perjurers who for mon ey swear mems lives away, these who take the lives of others without due process of law, those who escase justice, because they are rich and in@ fluential, the keepers of dives where men and women are murdered, the sellers of rum and those who aid and abet in this internal traffic, the kings and rulers who send millions of men to their deaths to satisfy their ambl- ton for position, power and domin- ion and all who, by any means be- come wholly or partly responsible for the blood of their fellow men, will have to answer to God.
 "A man may, like Cair seek to evade the issue; he may ask like the scribe, Who Is my brother?; he may deny his obligation and responsibility on the plea. that the man concerned is not of his class, his race, his na- ticnality or his equal; but, as Cain had to meet the issue, so must every man.. for every man is his brothers konnoro
