Theiq are now t '1 prisoners ill the state prison who would be incarcerated in the county jails. They are eith er convicted of murder or are alleg ed to ho guilty of criminal assault.

The plant of the Southern Hell Co. in Camden is maintained at a high Btate of efficiency and the sub scribers are well satisfied with the service they are securing. ?OiCiBLY THE FIRST MUSIC L r pipe# Have B??n Known tino? Th?r? Hut Been Any Record Written In History. I . . ; Hagplpes are the Bulgarian national instrument Until lately the servants who waited on tho Turkish urand viz- j ler In Constantinople were mutes, though not, us In former times, per son* specially mutllaied, but childreu | b?rn deaf und dumb. Thsy use a 1 a 1 1 k o u k <* of signs, with u apodal ges* turn to describe tho representative of each nation. To Indleute the Hulp,ar* Ian agent they imitate u man playing the hagplp<H. it was not tbe Hul Karlan# who Invented the pipes, how ever. They are among tho oldest of musical Instruments. Aii ancient gem Khows Apollo with them,, and two in struments in tin* boofc of Daniel ure b< neved to havo been bagpipes. The bagpipes range not only in time froiu Apoljo and the Hlble to the pres ent day, hut geographically from China to Spain and Great Britain. KriKland la uald to havo given them to Scotland. One country, however, finally lost a peculiarly severe form of the Instru ment.' Thin was tho Sardinian "Ian nedda," which had three pipes, all placed In the piper's mouth, and was played by rubbing strips of wax up and down over the holes. The work was so exhausting that nearly all the pipers died young. In 1846 George Hurdett came across one who had survived to the age of 80. Hut he was the last of the lannedda plnyors, and when he died, tho inatru rneiit was played no more. STRENGTH OF THE GRIZZLY Giant of Far Weit Carries Cow Easily Over Mountain, Without , Resting. It la related that a grizzly bear that had ono of it h forepaws bo shot as to j render it ufceldBB employed the other to drag Its weight of 1,000 pounds up Hit incline almost precipitous, a Beein- | lngly Impossible feat, tho Fur NewB states , I A Californian asserts that while In tho mountaiiiB he observed a big griz zly in tho act of carrying a dead, cow home to her cubs. From liis position on the mountainside tho Californinn could follow every movement of tho bear in tho sparsely timbered valley below. He contends that tho big beast r.mied -tlm t'Ow in her foropawB for a distance of three miles, across jagged rocks several f**et in height, over fallen logs arodnd the rocky moun talnelde, where even a inulo could not get a foothold, to a narrow trail up tho steep mountain. This bear, It appears, stopped not a moment for rest, but proceeded straight, on. The observer followed her and about half a mile from her lair Shot her. Tho cow, it is reported, weighed at least 1.200 pounds, while the weight 6f tho grizzly was about 4T?0. Photographs by Wire. The Korn process for transmitting pictures through the moans of a wire connecting two distant points has ful ly demonstrated Its practicability where moderate distances are con cerned, hut the Inventor Is not satis fied with these results, for the rea son that the device is primarily in tended for the use of newspapers, and in this role tho apparatus will be of littlo value unless great distances can be spanned, and *o the Inventor is working with tho object of perfecting the machine to the point that pictures may be sent across the* ocean. I)r. Korji has under consideration an in vltaMon to visit the United States, with the view of applying his system to a line between New York and San Francisco, which he may undertake before trying the transatlantic expe riments. Child Floored a Comedian. It was at a recent theatrical per* formance in one of our big cities. A comedian was in the course of deliver ing a long but not always uniformly funny soliloquy for which ho is fa mous. Suddenly during a lull there came an unexpected comment from the Btalls. It was In the high treble voice of a girlhood, and tho wordB, audiblo on tho stage and In several parts of tho auditorium, were: "Mum mi?, I wouldn't mind If they pulled down the blind now." It was dramatic criticism of a dramatic kind; and the outspoken child was not the only per son In the house who would have had no objection to a dropping of tho cur tain, though she was the only one to say so. At any rate, tho curtain fell. Affliction of Stammering. Stammering la a hesitancy of speech, the result of an affection of tho vocal and enunclatlvo organs. Thoro are many opinion's as to tho cause of this afTection. Tho person af fected may be relieved by following certain rules, the principal ono being cultivation of tho habit of speaking correctly and not fast. The sufferer must study the process of speech, the relation of breath to articulate sounds, tho position of the tongue and other orsans in molding the outward stream of air. Innocent. "I try to think," said Penham, "that woir.nn Is the equal of man and as well 1 qualified to take part in the political life ; but it sort of Jars that belief to get the reply 1 did this morning from my wife, when I remarked, on reading the returns, that Fiingham ran ahead cf hir. ticket. and she innocently In n:?r*-d.

ACHIEVE SUCCESS BY STAGES Elevation to Leadership Is On a Basis of Prestige, and Must Be Maintained. Ab Boon as a certalh number of liv ing beinga are gathered together, whether they be animals or men, they place themselves instinctively under the authority of a chief. Ah enthuBiuHm becomes Inflained, it happens most "On en that the then toad er 1b ho who started as one of the led. He Iihb himself been hypnotized by the Idea whose apostle he has since become. It haB taken possession of film to such a d?trron DUtBlde it vanishes, and every con trary opinion appears to him. an error >r a superstition. In time by ;ifllrma '.ion, repetition and contagion great power is given to his ideas, and ho ac luires that mysterious force known as preBtlge. Every successful man, 2very Idea that forces Itself Into recog nition, ceases ipso facto to bo called :n question. The proof that success is one of the principal stepping stones to prestige b that the disappearance of one is al most always followed by the disap ! pearaneo of the other. The hero whom j he crowd acclaimed yesterday Is in sulted, today should lie be overtaken oy failure. The reaction indeed will 3e the stronger in proportion as the prestige has been great. ? LeHon, in nls book upon "The Crowd." As an Owr.er Should Be. Whilst it is each man's interest that aot only ease and convenience of liv ing, but also wealth or surplus prod acts should exist somewhere, it need lot be in his hands. Often It is very jndesirable to him. Goetho said well: 'Nobody should be rich but those who I understand it." . Some men are born :o own, and can animate all their possessions. Others cannot; their owning is not graceful ? seems to bo i compromise of their character; they seem to steal their own divi dends.. They should own who can ad j minister, not they who hoard and con I seal; not they who, the great pro ? prletora they are, are only the great i *r beggars, but they whose work carves out work for more, opens a path for all. For he Is the rich man In whom the people ajo rich; and he Is the poor man in whom the people ire poor. ? Emerson. Hunger Strikes. The problem of the hunger strike was not known in the seventeeth cen tury. Then, however, it was allowed to solve Itself. John Evelyn, for In stance, in 16G6, found martyrs to their beliefs in Ipswich, and entered the fight and Its sequel in his diary: "1 had the curiosity to visit some Quakers hero in prison," he noted on July 8, 1656, "a new fanatic set, of dangerous principles, who show no re spect to any man, magistrate or other. . . One of these was said to have fasted 20 days; but another, endeavor-" ing to do tho like, perished on the tenth, when ho would havo eaten, but could not."
