WARS EC'S IDEA The Superintendent at Cliremont Tells Why It Won't Work. THE DIFFEKEXCE, KOETH AKD SOUTH, Consists Sot Oalj in the Worse Rc3.ii of Dixie, let in Kesro labor. Theorists may think convict labor on country roads would be jnstthethingfor the jSorth as it undoubtedly is for the South. But Superintendent Warner, of the Clare wont "Workhouse, doesn't think so at all. Eunaway prisoners couldn't be shot down so frequently here as there, and public senti ment wouldn't tolerate the ball and chain in pnblic highways here. It only works wall, be says, in localities very near the prison. The farm of the Allegheny county work house might be termed an experimental Station for road-making. Upon it and the adjacent grounds there are all sorts of roads, irom the finest in the country to the regular "Western Pennsylvania mud-sink. A visit to the prison would well repay the State Commission on Improvement of Country Boads. Superintendent Henry "Warner's ex perience in the science of road-building would not only be of value to the Commis sioners, but he could give them much in formation on the subject of improving the public highways with convict labor. "While pointing out, yesterday, the differ ence between his systems of wagon roads, Mr. "Warner said: "I am in favor of using convict labor in the construction of high trays wherever it is practicable. But it will sot be found to be practicable in Pennsyl vania. Everybody will admit that good roads are an absolute necessity in Pennsyl vania. AS EASY HEBE AS ELSEWHERE. "The States which have good roads did Mot get them with convict labor. Conse quently it is practicable for us to have good roads, too, without the aid of prisoners. In this workhouse there are several different kinds of prisoners. "Wherever their labor lias been utilized in making roads there has been one class that did very well for the work. They were short-term prisoners and those of least danger as criminals. "We have here one class of men fully as bad as penitentiary birds, who could not be trusted outside the walls without balls and chains attached. Even if they were to be worked on the roadways, it wonld have to be within easy distance of the prison. In Allegheny county, for instance, this being the only rural prison, you will readily see low impracticable it would be. It is true that temporary camps for the prisoners could be established in different parts of the county and the men worked under a heavy guard, lint in such cases the cost of trans porting them about and leeding them would be greater under such circumstances, consid ering the amount of labor done, than the ex pense at present of maintaining criminals. JTree labor wonld be fonnd to be much cheaper.' A MISCONCEPTION. . "Yes, but, as shown in The Dispatch, most of the Southern States successfully maintain and build their roads with the use of convict labor. If it would prove costly and ansale here, how can it be otherwise down there?" was asked. "The roads in the extreme South are not xnarvelous lor their state of perfection," re plied Super-ntendent Warner. "Those States are sparsely settled, and the senti ments of the people of the South are en tirely different from those of the Northern people. The highways are mostly ordinary mud. There is no comparison between the convicts of the North and South, nor in the mode of their treatment. At least 90 per cent of the convicts of the South are ne groes, and in prisons they are regarded as very little above animals. Therefore public sentiment is not shocked every time a con vict at work upon the roads is shot dead in his attempt to escape. Having been used to slavery, the people are not outraged by seeing chain gangs at work on the streets. IT WOULD BE REVOLTING. "Citiiens of Pennsylvania ronld never stand the spectacle of shackled men upon the streets, or the necessary precautions to keep them from escaping," continued Mr. Warner. "A gentleman from Pittsburg who went to Oregon, about the only Northern State which has generally adopted the con vict labor system, came home thoroughly disgusted with what he saw of the chain gang on the streets there. But in the South the system that generally prevails is that of leasing the prisoners out to some corpora tion, which entirely frees the State of ex pense. And then they are not always used on public roads, but the lessee us'es them where he can make most money ont of their work, such as wagon-making, coal mining nnd railroad building. This is the rule at present in Tennessee." "But you work the prisoners on the out side here without the chain or ball system, do you not?" ALL EIGHT IP SEAS BY. "Oh, yes, I generally have 250 of them out in the stone quarry, or at work on the roads about the larm, or else at farming. Others load and unload staves and barrels down at the river. I only have to send a light guard with them because it is in the immediate vicinity of the prison, and be cause 1 only send out the most trustworthy men. I wonld work them on the country roads within three miles of the building, if they were wanted, and we now have all nec essary law empowering us to do so. But it is a question whether this would not be un just and not be agreed to by the balance of the countv, because the whole county sup ports the labor, and one township would get the sole benefit of the labor without anv compensation. AVhere I have tried to get compensation for it I have failed. More than a year ago we told O'Hara township that if they would pay us 5500 we would give them $1,000 worth of labor on their roads, and we wonld have made them grand roads, too. (The workhouse is in O'Hara township.) NO IDEA OP ACCEPTANCE. "The offer was not accepted, and, although It is still open, I have no idea that it will be accepted. We also had our prisoners break up large quantities of bluestone at our quarries here, which we offered to deliver at a reasonable price at Herr's Island, to znacauamize toe ruau irom tne city line to the line of the paved street. This road is all in the city limits, and is in a terrible condition, being a disgrace to Allegheny. The offer, which was made to the Street Commissioner, was supplemented by an other, in which we agreed to send down to the city prisoners to make the road. I would have only bad to send about a dozen men, with a single guard, as they would 'have been the most trustworthy. But the city never saw fit to accept the offer, al though they had an admirable opportunity to test the theory of roadinaking by convict labor." WHAT SUBSTITUTE THEN? Mr. Warner, in conclusion, added one more objection to the proposition to use con vict labor, and that is that when the freez ing season sets in there wonld be three xaonths of every year when roadmaking could not be continued, or the same suspen sion would occur for days at a time all through the year owing to rain; "and what are you going to do with your convicts then?" he aski The style of road-making which Mr. War ner advo'cates for the State of Pennsylvania 5s what is known as the Telford system. Using the principle, he has improved seine, on the details. He excavates a road from 18 to 6 inches, and, rounding it off well so that the water will drain off quickly to each side, throws upon the bare ground pieces of stone. With these he floors the whole sur face, the intersices, of course, being open for the water to get through. Over this he emp ties a layer of more finely and regularly broken stones. Sandstone will answer very well for each of these layers. But he adds a third layer of limestone broken up very fine. BETTER THAN ASPHALTUM. With the road then smothed over, and per fectly curved to each gutter, it will soon pack down to the solidness of rock, and when the limestone is well pulverized by vehicles passing over it, Mr. Warren says it sur passes asphaltum pavements because it has just as much smoothness and yet affords suf ficient holding ground for thecorks of horse shoes, which the cement roadways do not. This system, the gentleman thinks, should he adopted by the btate Uommission, and then the roads of the Commonwealth will soon be something to be proud of. The heavy cost of the system would be fully covered by the endurance secured, he is sure, and the immense benefits to be de rived. The only objection to be found to the limestone road is the dust that it raises in the summer. Whether the scheme would be practicable in all parts of the State or not, it is worth while mentioning that on the roads around the Workhouse the bank gravel has been mixed with the fine lime stone. That will allay the dust consider ably. Bank-gravel is not fonnd iu all parts of the State. FUEL GAS TO BE DSED. The BcIIefocto Glasi Works Resumes After n Long Snspenalon. rSPECUI. TELEQIULU TO THE DISTATCn.1 Bellefonte, February 2. Fires were started a few days ago in ten pots of the 20 pot window glass factory at this place, and the men will begin blowing glass at mid night to-night It has been idle for over ten months, having been sold by the Sheriff in March last. It has been re-leased by several parties, and will be run under the manage ment of B. T. Munson, General Manager of the Bellefonte Iron Company. They expect in the near future to put in the new fuel pas plant which has proven so snecessful at the nail works and is the first of the kind in the world. The other ten pots will be started later, when the factory gets to running fairly. A TECDLIAK E0BBEKT. The Valise of a Railroad Paymaster Falls lata Wrong; Hands. IBriCIAL TEI.EOKAM TO THE DISPATCH.! BlMA, O., February 2. A. M. Clegg, contractor and paymaster of the Columbus, Lima and Milwaukee Bailroad, stopped at the Burnett House, here, with $1,770 in his valise, and was assigned a room. Shortly after he went out to a bank on business, and while he was gone a stranger came into the hotel office and asked for a temporary room while he changed his linen. He was given the same room that had been assigned Mr. Clegg, and only remained a few moments. When Mr. Clegg returned he found his valise missing with the money. There has been no clew discovered that would lead to the identity of the robber. THE SALE CONSUMMATED. Three Thousand Men Will be Employed by (be Charlcroi Compear. rSr-ECIAl.

ItHhra. Hi. wft - X'''Vf RURAL D0G0L0GT. What Tray, Blanch and Sweetheart Yield to tbo Caase of Edacntlon The Number of Dob Will Average About 130 to the Township. Statistics in dogology have not been footed in this county, but Chief Clerk Seibert, of the County Commissioner's office states that Irom what he has noticed on the returns dogs will average 150 to the township and borough. As there are 63 townships and 26 boroughs this would makn the canine popu lation outside the cities 11,850. Whether the law is a discrimination, or against a city dog, or in his favor, is not definitely settled. The law makes the country dog property, while his citv brother is not, unless regis tered and a fee of $1 50 paid therefor. The great majority of city "purps" are not reg istered, so they may be said, in a sense, to own themselves, or to possess power to attach themselves to the patron who uses them best. In ancient times, some 31 years ago, say, some slaves in the South considered them selves superior to free persons of color, aB the latter had no standing in society were but little better than white trash." If the difference he ruled in favor of the city dog, it is a discrimination in favor of his owner, who need not pay a registry fee unless he choose. In the rural districts fe male dogs might vaunt their superiority to their male companions, as the former are as sessed at double rates. The assessors in the boroughs found much more trouble in finding out thecitizenshipof dogs than did those in townships. When a borough assessor in a big town like McKees port came into a yard he might find a half dozen dogs congregated, and the owner might claim that he didn't own any, that they all belonged to his neighbors, but in the townships it was takeu for granted that all the curs, whether of high or low degree, belonged to it, and unless the owner had knowledge of the approach of the assessor it was difficult to prevent his property from appearing on dress parade, their natural duty impelling them to reveal their presence. The dog tax of this county should yield between 6,000 and $7,000 a year, and, as it is not a sheep-raising county, education should get a boost t(r that extent. While education is a great and glorious thing, it is a question whether it would not have been wiser for the Legislature to have decided that the dog tax fund should go to the im provement of highways. The sum realized this year would make two miles of good road, more than there are in all the town ships together at present BEATEN THE KECOED. An OH Well Which is Attracting n Great Denl of Attention. SPECIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISFATCH.l Butlee, February 2. The Haslett well, on the Humphrey farm, has beaten the rec ord of all the wells in the 100-foot field. When it opened the sand a couple of weeks ago it at once started to flow and for several days did between 100 and 200 barrels a day, most of which, however, was lost. On Wednesday it was stirred np a little and the production has since been averaging 25 bar rels an hour. The success of this well has boomed oper ations in the vicinity and nearly a dozen wells have been started since it tapped the sand. By the middle of this month some of them, with good Inck. will reach the sand and divide tbe interest with tbe ilaslett well, which now holds it all for itself. M0BE MINERS liEEDED. A Great Scarcity of Them Throughout tbe Slononeuhela District. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISFATCH.l Elizabeth, Pa., February 2 There is still a great scarcity of miners along the Monongahela Valley, but wore continues in all the mines. Walton & Co. are among the fortnnate firms which have all the men they want. At their upper mine they are running over 20,000 bnshelsof coal a day, and at their lower mine about 16,000 bush els. Beside this their first pool mine is run ning full, and the three are loading about 50,000 bushels a day. Choking Catarrh.

Tho president or ono of the leading New York Medical Colleges, in conversation with the writer the other evenlcc, said: "'La Grippe, the Russian influenza, tbat has caused so much talk, is a moro severe affliction than people usually think. It arises mysteri ously and appears to have its orijrin in the at mosphere. The last time it visited America was in 1803, and It came then, as now, from Asia. The name Influenza comes from the suggestion that tbe malady was due to the 'in fluences' 01 tne neaveuiy uouies, uu, mure modern science has discovered that it is dne to the changes in the eloctrical conditions. What ever maybe the cause, it is a strong congestion of the blood vessels and mucous membrane, principally in the head and tbroat, and nothing but strong stimulants will check this congestion and keep the blood actively circulating. For tLis purpose I know of nothing better than pure whiskey, and I believe Duffy's Pure Malt to be the;best and purest whiskey known to the world. "Formerly this influenza was said to precede an epidemic of the plague, and the person who was about to be taken with the latter, had, as a preliminary, a fit of sneezing. Now It precedes a worse eoldemio than tbe plague, namely, tbe terrible phenmonia. Its Deginning is slight, but its ending is often terrible. Pains in the limbs, back, chest and head; a sore throat and lack of appetite; copious discbarge at the nose; these are some of tbe symptoms of this dread disease. Upon the slightest approach of any of these symptoms, a nervous feeling, or lassitude, resort should be had to apure whiskey, which is the only certain means of breaking un this epi demic before it scenres a hold upon the system or check it when it has become started. Care sbonld be taken, however, to secure only that which is pure, as the article above named cer tainly Is.ft MRS. ELIZA SMITH Cured by the physicians of tbo Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, 323 Fenn avenue. "Hundreds of people in Pittsburg have told how wonderfully they have been cured by the physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Insti tute at 323 Penn ave., and I feel it my duty to state my case. My catarrh, which had troubled me so long, had begun to affect my lungs, and they pained me very mnch, especially when I coughed or raised up the offensive discharge which seemed to so fill up my windpipe and bronchial tubes, that I found it often difficult to breathe. I coughed more or less both day and night. It would often hurt me to breathe, my breath became short, and I felt a tight op pressive feeling in my lungs. I often felt a pain in my left side. My food would sour on my stomach, giving me a f nil, uncomfortable feeling after eating, with belching of gas. My bands and feet were cold and clammy. X could not walk any distance, or np a hill without getting out of breath. I had many other aches and pains and also suffered from those diseases peculiar to women. In fact, I grew weaker and weaker until I felt as if I did not care whether I lived or died, as I would be an in valid the remainder of my life. I tried several doctors, but I found no relief. Reading of so many cures made by tbe physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, and whicb seemed similar to mine. I took three months' treatment from these specialists. Tbe result is I now feel like a new woman. I have gained 25 pounds in flesh; my work does not seem a burden to me as It used to. and I feel well and strong.
