The -rading on this job is proceeding at itch a rate as to elicit an expression rom the president of the company hat it is expected to complete and >perate the line by July of next rears. ''Another electric railway upon which construction is being pushed is he Richmond and Chesapeake Bay line of Frank Jay Gould, which is now being built between Richmond and Ashland, Va. As soon as this section of some 14 or 15 miles is completed a further extension is to he made ini the direction of the bay.

TUBEROULOSIS HOSPITAL. Within Penitentiary wass Designed ii Every Way to Reduce Per Cent of Death From Dread Dis ease by Isolation. The new (11rffithi hlospital for til "'eilosis at tile State prison is nov in use, and already its benefits I. being )Serevd, by the physicians an olher )personls who easually visit ti insthitution, blitnot 41 le much them a: v tle resident phyic.IIiaIns and tI mana iigeient of tle institution. The hospital has been filty unani for Capt. I). J. Griffitih, tle lonor( and respected Superintendant ot uiI penitentary and he has been workin, on tle ev-olution of tle conception foi many months. Last year 30 prisoners died withii the walls and of these 23 had tuber enlar troubles. Wlhether or not thii per eent. would have been as larg with the new obspital in usee cannot be definitely stated but it is well known that a malady of this charac ter is so vitally contagious that the death rate from this cause must per. force be greatly reduced by the sim ple means of isolation. The niew~ building, which as has been said(, was1 nalmed afteri Supen ittendant D. .1. Giffith, by' reason of' the boiard ofl dlirectorsi andi withoitut ture, t wo' stoies ini heighit, of red1 aet erist ics is thle abuni danace of w~i n dows, and thlese are to a large exNtent how windows. There are ten of t hese and they jut well out from the build ing, being almost entirely of glass sides and klass roofs. These are the solariums, where the prisoners can sit in the sunshine. Partly detached from the building yet connecting, is a tower of the same red brick and the same stone-concrete facings. As one enters the building, down. stairs, there is a fine operating roorn with a good light. Further back ii a large ward which will be used fot the 'detention of patients until it Car be ascertained to what degree the dis, ease has worked its way. The kitch. ens and pantries and the keeperi room are also on this floor. Openinj to this floor, in the tower, are thi closets and in the connecting passaga are large windows through which thi draught blows. On the second flooi are two more large wards, each 40 b~ 40 feet in size, and there is also i toilet in the tower on this floor. Thi roof of the building has been grated withI wood and benches provided ari here ,the. patien'ts who arec able wil take air and exercise. The top floor of the tower is oper and( will be used for washing andl ster ilizing everything necessary. Thi: "roof garden'' is a most beautifu spot. The view looks to the high hilh of Lexington and' across tho -ehange able Congaree and up the p)eacefu canal, following its winding until i disappears frorn view, like a blue rib. bQn that has ibien cut/ in twain, bel neath tAe. red irons of a railway bridge, Across, which now and thei thunders a train carrying its burdell of humanity. - sanitation is .6ined' at and one evi" I, dence of this is that there are no r angles inside the rooms. The walls s round one into the othir, and the v ceiling curvies down to the walls. a There are no places for germs to con - gregate. All the windows and door facings are flush and ^a host turned - on the walls nIod ceilings can cleanse Ihe rooms of every particle of dirt u11141 dust. This is most essential. The building is steam-heated I troil1h-Aout. It was' built by Mr. .JohI Milady ui is a model of its kind. Physi mians an1d experts wiot have seen it aY t hat I helre are no tilner, andbetter -10onceived, in the South, aid there are I'w wi(lhin prisonl walls anywhere. - Mr. Milady, while usinl.g all means - possible to make the lyuilding lwhat shoulld be desired in the w'ay of need, 1has not neglected tihe aesthetic, find - this is evidene by the decorations ou the building. which, while not offen sire, are very strieking. A ppropriate I Latin Imottoes adorn the towers one ft o hese being "pro bono generis. That the building will be of great I help cannot be doubted. The patients -will, of cause, be kept under renglar I inspection an( everything looking to - sanitary principles will be observed. Sputum cups wiil be worn, as is done in every modern h'ospital of the kind. This is but one instanes of what Capt. Griffith, the hmnane and intelligent superintendant, has detailed, after consultation with experts on the sub ject. He has studied the subject thoroughly, and With Dr. S. E. Har mon, the prison physician, has about formulated the rules necessary. The compliment paid him in naming the hospital for him is certainly in no way underserved. Canary round its Voice. New York Evening Post.. A once songless canary, who has a winter home on Central Park, South, am)I now is spending a vacation at Innlltinl'.-Ion, "found'' his voice in a mysterious manner through the air - 1t a sheet of fly-paper. This is the W.ay it came abolit The little bird was allowed to leave his e wie oe ,day last week. In flit IItin around the rooil he went too near a window over-looking Long Is 1,iindl soulmd. Perhaps he wanted to -aze out ; naybe lie intended to end his captivity by flyini away. At any rat e, as he approached the open win dow his feet stutick to a piece of fly paper lying on the seat. Iis mistress saw him and cried aloud for a maid to aid in the work of rescue. When the girl arrived, the bird, apparently liking his resting place, had sunk down upon his breast, and all his downy front feathers were fast glued to the paper. To locsen him, the maid brought scissors and hot water for softening the sticky mixture. When at last lie was free, the feathers had been clipped close on his breast, and his tiny feet were still sticky. But wvonder of wonders-lie began to sing. That was something lie had never donme before, but from the (lay of- the accident unti l now he has trill ed1 continually.

The determinatio of that issue may effect shirt tail throughout the entire country. I may help Kansas, and it may hel Massachuietts' and it may help th South. When one harks back some fift odd years, when the Kansas-Nebrask bill tore the North and the Sout. asunder, and when squatter soverigt ty was rampant in Kansas, it seen ed as though the time would neve cone agin w hen Kansas would eve he inl the m1o1111r1 to boost the sout or any southeri industry. liut today Kansas has forgotto the bloody past and while both o the leading parties in that state rc fuse to incorporate it in their res pective plat forms, both are castin sheep's eyes at it and the slogan ha gone forth advocating the lengtheu i. of every shirt tail in the Unite States by not less than one inch, If this Kansas cry for longer shir tails is taken up by the rest of th country it. may readily be seen that in the language of Colonel Sellers "there's millions in it.'' It is a susceptible of mathematical computa tion as the sale of eye-water in Indit or China. The last census of the Unitek States showed that there were 39,059, 242 persons in the United States wh< are qualified to wear shirt tails. A the present time it is possible tha several millions of others are eligi ble as members of the shirt tai brigade. For the sake of argument, let u assume that the shirt tailers in thi country now number 45,000,000. Ever; well regulated man should have a least six shirts. This would mak 270,000,000 shirts in active us throughout the United States at th present time. The cry in Kansas i to lengthen each and every shirt tai to the extent of two inches. Thi means that there must -be added t the shirt tails of .the country 540 000,000 inches. Allowing 36 inches t the yard, it means that the inimediat consinption of the great souther product as applied to shirt tail pmll, poses nmust be immnediately increase by 15,000,000 yards of cloth. Of course when we lengthen on shirt tails Europe, Asia and especial ly Africa should also lengthen their and the result wil be that our grea southern product, through the boor given to shirt tails in Kansas, will g to probably 25 cents a pound. Whei shiirt tails go down, cotton must neces sarily go up ,and the entire countri will be enriched. Kansas is ablaze with enthusiasm The south should be ablaze with en thusiasml The whole country shoul< be ablaze with enthusiasml If Mr Bryan will only have the politicia forethought to endorse the Kansa idea, before Mr. Fairbanks does, i simply means that Mr'. Bryan will bl the next president of this republic. It means that the coming politica batt leflag will be a lemt henecd slir tail, the great unwashed will be knowi as the shirt tail democracy and( ini No vember.'i' 1 908, victotry ill proudlh a bout by t he shuirt tail cry that fir~s echoed t hrong~hout Kanisas.
