CARE OF THE CONVICTS.
MR. HUFF INTRODUCES AN IMPOR
TANT BILL.
Tho Establishment of a Permanent
Penitentiary and Supply Farm Pro
vided For—An Advisory Board of
Pardons Included in tho Scope of the
Measure.
Atlanta, C.A., July ‘l7.—ln the Senate
to-day on motion of Mr. Butt, the bill pnv
Tiding for the recording of executions
based on judgments from courts not of
record or if of record having no execution
docket, was reconsidered and recommitted.
There was a long debate on the bill of
Mr. Peek to make it unlawful for am i*-r
ion or persons who may revive advances
upon a contract to work the lands of
another, either as renter, cropper, or for
Standing wages, to fail to comply with such
contract without good mid sufficient reason.
Senators Butt. Dean, Davis, Roberts,
Brantley ami Peak, made lengthy arguments
for and against the bill.
The principal objection raised was that it
was unconstitutional and practically pro
viding imprisonment for debt and class
legislation in the interest of the land
lord. The report of the committee, which
was favorable, was agreed to, but tho bill
tablod by a close vote. During the deliate
there was a warm engagement between
Messrs. Butt and Peek, which at first prom
ised a rather serious difference, but fortu
nately terminated not unpleasantly. The
Senate went into executive session on a
lea led communication from the Governor
and confirmed the following appointments:
K. F. Simmons to be Judge of the County
Court of Terrell county.
P. W. Twitty to be Judge of the County
Court of Mitchell county.

CRUELTY TO CONVICTS.
Gov. Gordon Condemns, the Bondurant
& Jopling Camps.
Atlanta, Ga., July 27. —Principal
keeper of tho penitentiary Towers, to whom
Dr. Westmoreland reported in writing the
result of his investigation of tho Bondurant
& Jopling convict camp, has submitted
the report to the Governor with a recom
mendation that the camp be broken up un
less a radical change be male in it.s manage
ment within ton 'lays, and that such change
include the removal of Messrs. Bondurant
& Jopling, as no improvement is
possible if they are allowed to
havo anything to do with the camp. Dr.
Westmoreland reports the camp in bad con
dition. Just what cause produced this un
fortunate condition, resulting in an unusual
amount of sickness, it is difficult to say, but
that there are radical defects in the manage
ment of the convicts he has no doubt. He
is satisfied that the buildings anil surround
ings have not contributed to it, but other
causes. He examined the sick in tho hos
pital anil several that were at work, and is
fully satisfied that there is more than one
cause.
OVERWORKED AND UNDERFED.
He is confident, first, that the convicts
are being overworked, and second, be is just
as confident that they are not properly foil.
If they get enough in quantity, which Dr.
Westmorelami doubts, there is a deficiency
in variety and quality, and it is likely the
food is not properly prepared and served,
which is the most prominent cause, or
whether there aro not other factors
equally important, he is not pre
pared to say. He fomid eight sick
in the hospital—four with accidental injuries
of a slight character, one with syphilis, one
with rheumatism and two wit h "swelled
legs.” He examined the two last with great
care. There were present several symptoms
of scurvy, but other symptoms were absent.
He is at a loss whether it is scurvy proper
or simulating scurvy, and would not report
scurvy in the camp unless its presence was
uninistnkeable. But while he is in doubt as
to scurvy it makes little difference as re
gards the sanitary condition of the
camp being the cause of tho trouble,
as the convicts aro feeble and deficient
in blood, showing the absence of proper
hygienic surroundings. The Governor, fol
lowing the recommendations of Supt.
Towers, ordered the camp broken up if
then- is not a radical change in the manage
ment and sanitary conditions, and riddance
of Bondurant & Jopling.
DYING FOR THE DRINKS.
A Foolieh Wager Probably Costs Two

Philadelphia, Pa., July 27.—Andrew
McKee, aged 28 years, and Howard Rush,
aged Iff years, were standing with a numlier
of companions looking at anew sower in
course of construction at Reese and Clear
field streets, which connected with an old
one. McKee offered to bet "the drinks for
the crowd” that Hush would not accompany
him into the old sewer. Hush accepted the
bet and both descended, entering the old
sewer. Their long absence alarmed those
above, and a search was instituted, which
revealed both men lying prostrate on the
floor of the old sower overcome by gas.
They were dragged out. McKee was dead,
anil Rush exhibited only faint signs of life.
He was sent to St. Mary’s Hospital. Mc-

BISHOP CHATARD BACK PROM
BOMB
Ho Was Not Consulted in Dr. Me-
Glynn’s Case-News About Bishop
Nulty.
Bishop Ohatard, of Indianapolis, arrived
in New York from Rome on Monday, on
tho Aurania. He said that ho had not licen
consulted by the Pope on the McGlynn
question.
“That," he said, “was entirely n matter of
discipline. We are all very sorry that the
doctor; should liavo taken the course he has.
Knowing, as I do, Archbishop Cor
rigan’s action in the matter, 1 have
a profound respect for him because
of lus manly and charitable attempts
to bring the' doctor to the right way
of thinking. The doctrine* that Dr. Me
Olynu have espoused in regard to the land
question did not enter into hiscondomna
tion at all. That w.is the result of his con
tuinacy. A priesfj is like a soldier. He
must obey his siqieriors. Having refused to
obey the Archbishop, Dr. McGlynn was
summoned to Home to explain his action.
His refusal to obey the summons resulted in
his condemnation. No public statement as
to bis doctrines was made by tin Holy
Father. The statement that Bishop Nultv,
of Meath, In land, preached the same doc
trines as those espoused by Dr. McGlynn has
been, 1 understand, contradicted by the
Bishop.”

St. Joseph, Mo., July I(s. —Among tho
great discoveries which will for all time bo
associated with the name of Charles Dar
win, though in reality they were all but
recognized by men who worked before his
time, is the law that cross fertilization in
plants produces fine and strange • offspring
than self-fertilization, and that self-fertiliza
tion, continued long enough, leads to degra
dation and eventually extinction.
Sprengel, between IThti nnd 1793, had in
realitv gone very near to prove this. He
noticed that in some plants self-fertilization
is absolutely impossible. So that they
are. as it were, compelksl by nature 10
maintain their kind in tho only way which
is for the a l l vantage of plant rue. s that is.
by cross-fertilization. ‘‘ln some instances,”
says Grant Allen, as he showed by expert
meats upon the yellow day lily, “plants
impregnated from their own stamens can
not bo made to succeed at all. ” “Ho near.”
says Herman Muller, “was Sprengel to the
distinct reci ignition of tho fact, that self
fertilization leads b> worse results than
cross-fertilization, and that all the arrange
ments which favor inre -t visits are of value
to th" plant itself, simply because the insect
visitors elTect cross-fertiliz it.ion.” Hence it
is, concluded Sprengel, that nature has
provided flowers with honey or nectar;
nence it is that, by protections from rain,
flowers invite the visits of bees and other
insects; and here do we find the reason why
the corolla presents bright hues and mark
ings, and why the blossoms distill sweet
perfume. These are simply nature's plans
to insure the visits of insects so that cross
fertilization may he effected
It was here that Darwin diverged from
Sprengel, and so led to the re ognition of
new truth. It is hot Imran e cross fertiliza
tion is better for the plant that nature lias
provided all these devices for securing it.,
hut lieeause every variation by which a
plant chanced to tie more attractive than
its fellows to its insect visitors, that plants
so fortunate became more prolific than tin >se
which, being less attractive, received fewer
visits from the insect world. Thus there
was a greater increase of the more attrue
tive flow rs, and by the renewal of the lit
test—quite as effective a process as the sur
vivid of the fittest—the plant was developed
to more and more attractive forms.
Thus in tho sweet perfumes and lovely
colonis, jierhaps even in the graceful forms
of our flowers we have evidence of the law
of development by infinitesimal variations
advantageous to the plant, and also we have
evidence of the unfavorable effects of eross-
fertilization.
What is true of vegetable life is true also
of animal life. Interbreeding within too
limited an area is always in tho long run
injurious, and often leads to actual extinc
tion. Among human beings, as well as
among the lower animals, the same law can
!)<• recognized. Here and there the marriage
of cousins may not lead to. marked deterior
ation. at any rato, in the immediate off
spring—which must, however, be by no
means regardod as proving that there :s no
race deterioration. But repeated intermar
riages within the same family invariably
lead to marked .evidence of degeneration.
Madness, idiixy, melancholy, epilepsy,
hysteria, deafness, and a number of other
evil effects manifest themselves inevitably
before many generations. And, unfortu
nately, once established, they seem estab
lished for good; it is much easier to brood
epilepsy into a family than it is to breed it
out again; and the like with madness, idiocy,
and the rest.
It is, indeed, oasy to cite cases which seem
to negative this. In a particularly strong
and healthy family there may lie marriages
for several generations without any mani
fest signs of evil. But those do harm, and
sanction, if they do not enjoin, a most
penurious doetrino, who insist on these ex
ceptional cases as proving that intermar
riage between persons separated by a con
siderable number of stejis in kinship Is not
harmful. In England the marriage of first
cousins is permitted, while marriage with
a deceased wife's sister is prohibited or, at
any rate, not sanctioned. But nature has a
different law, sanctioning what English
law rejects, reject ing—aye, and punishing
heavily—what English law permits.
A curious example of the mischievous
nature of intermarriages within too limited
an area is afforded in the island of St. Kilda.
There a small and diminishing population,
who regardod themselves us the salt of the
earth, but are not so regarded by the rest
of the world, decline to honor aliens with
their alliance, or perhaps have no choice,
not being chosen by aliens as suitable part
ners. Hero, then, wo have interbreeding
such as many imagine to have taken place
among the children of Adam, and again
among the descendants of Noah and those
three ladies who were good enough to nc
eompanv his sons, their husbands, into the
arh, and yet again the children of Abraham.
Isaac, and Jacob. Nothing conl.l preserve
the descendants of a single pair, or even a
dozen pairs, from utter degradation, and
ere long extinction; it would have needed
no serpent's wiles or speech to bring “death
into tho world,” an end to "all our woes."
Only a succession of miracles could have
the world alive. At St. Kilda, where
once was a goodly assemblage of human
linings, tho process of intermarriage has
brought about such a state of things that
ball' the children die a few days after birth
of lockjaw. That the inhabitants of sSt.
Kilda aro semi-idiotic is proved by much
that is known of their ways and habits.
Perhaps the more fact that they continue
to intermarry after having evidence so
clear that the practice is injurious, may not
unfairly tie regarded as of itself affording
proof positive of their low state of mental
culture.
it may lx? asked how it is that the royal
family of England, for example, escape the
manifold afflictions, bodily, moral, and
mental, resulting from iutermarriagn of
cousins. The English royal family Ins a
tolerably wide range of German cousins, or
cousins German, to choose from—though,
lieing itself almost full German blood, this

LIFE AT SARATOGA.
A Few Items Picked Up at the Great
Summer Resort.
From the Sew York Time*.
Saratoga, July 25.—There are fifty-three
young ladies unmarried and more or less
fair to look upon now in this village, whose
marriage settlement in each ease will not lie
less than *1,000,000. The season is back
ward and the town is not half full. In two
or three weeks there will be twice as many
people here, and, by the rule of simple pro
portion, 100 young ladies each having a
tender, girlish heart and endless bond to
intrust to the man of her choice. This
does not take into account the rich
widows who flock there in a great cloud
each season, not like tho winged beetle
whose colors are sombre, but rather like
the iridescent butterfly, which is more gor
geous to behold than is the red wagon to
childhood’s eager eye. The widow, like the
butterfly, docs not go ajourneying until the
chrysalis season of mourning is past. Fur
ther than this, there are heiresses of minor
degrees, running down to a paltry *IO,OOO
or *50,000, which, while it is quite a handy
sum to make a journey to Hoboken or Mon
treal upon, is small change when Saratoga
heiresses are under consideration. From
this it may lie gathered that more necessary
to Saratoga than even the searching spring
water of Hathorn is that modern Cupid’s
bower known as a matrimonial agency.
At the hop at the United States on Fri
day evening there was one quadrille set in
which the four young ladies represented
the portly sum of *20,000,000. They were
the two daughters of a banker not a thous
and miles from the corner of Wall and
Broad streets, the niece of a California Sen
ator, and the daughter of the family here
which possesses the only cottage with a
ballroom in the town. Each of these young
ladies will, in the natural order of tilings,
come into possession of *5,000,000 in her
own right. Not ono of them is engaged,
or, so far ns is known, has a suitor
at all preferred. They are all four pretty,
and were they not behind a golden bar
rier would lie nt least as lovable to the aver
age man as the average girl of their age.
The banker’s two daughters aro petite and
brunette, and tasteful dressers. Tho niece
is large and blonde, with an apparently sen
timental disposition and an erratic bus
tle. The young lady who dances in her own
ball room is likewise toll, blonde and fine-
looking.
And yet, under tbe American matrimoni
al system as ut present constituted, the
quartette have little prospect of making
matches in any way desirable unless they
journey abroad and purchase a tarnished
coronet now in pawn, together with the in
compatible human incumbrance thereto at
tached. The fact is, heiresses in America
aro somewhat to be pitied.
At one of tho tables in the Grand Union
dining room sits a slender but prettily
formed young lady with light hair, which,
with a little assistance, would be golden,
anil a sweet, sensible, but rather girlish face.
She is accompanied by an elderly- lady in
black silk, with a pardonable weakness for
head trimming. They are mother and
daughter. Papa owns a county or two up
in Minnesota, and is at home collecting his
rents. Yesterday tho daughter was
arrayed in a delicate pink and cream dress,
and looked much more edible than anything
on the dinner menu. She represents seven
figures to the young gentleman who in
duces her to become bis, but that young
gentleman shows no signs of putting in an
appearance. They know nobody about the
hotel or the town here. They perforce drive
alone and drink Congress in each other’s
familiar but non-stimulating company. The
young lad}' at home is too great a personage
for any local swain to lift his daring eyes to.
Here, and wherever else she goes, where the
world is thronging she will be nobody in
particular, ami is scarcely likely to attract
attention from anybody except the profes
sional fortune hunter, who as a husband is
never worth the powder requisite to blow
him into the oblivion that he so honestly
earns. Mademoiselle now looks 22 at least.
The probability is that most of the giris she
grew up with are already fond wives and
ha ß py mothers. Sho is unhappy for the
simple reason that happiness does not con
sist in what one has, but in the gratifica
tion of reasonable hopes and desires. Verily
the dollar is not all it is melted up to lie,
anil the man who Helps the heiresses out in
this little difficulty by bridging tho chasm
will be given a monument much more ex
pensive than Miss Bartholdi’s, with a grate
ful t ribute on the pedestal in letters ns big
as a Coney Island advertising sign.
Of eligible young men there is a dearth.
Mr. Berry Mall is here, nt the United
States, while the Grand Union has some
thing of the same kind with wooden elbows
aiui a simper which is believed a true Berry
Wail, though a littlo clouded in lustre.
Heiresses do not marry that sort of thing,
however, anil nil tho desirable parties seem
to bo off yachting or elsewhere. The effect
is quite Gilhortiuu. The piazza of either
hotel would moke an admirable opening
scene for a comic opera with a wailing
chorus of lonely heiresses. The duet of
dudes could take place on the sidewalk and
the curtain fall amid a shower of beautiful
vegetables.
Saratoga has many littlo ways of its own.
one of which, a system of financial nomen
clature, is admirably adapted not only to
other large watering places but to many
social gatherings where the real financial
importuneof people cannot be quickly and
adequately conveyed. Yesterday for half
an hour the handsome young physician of
the Grand Union was engaged in conversa
tion on the piazza with a richly dressed
blonde lady and her demure brown-eyed
daughter. Later, in response to polite and
proper inquiry concerning the latter, he
saiil:
"Tlmtf That is Miss Snooks of Snook’s
adjustable cor i t.'’ "Why do vim pnrtiru
lariz< ’" "First, to distinguish her from the
other Miss Suooks, and, secondly, IxH'auso
it is the lashion, Sara toga has nothing to
do in the ilavt it.ie except to drink water
and gossip. The wealth of the whole coun
try, North, South, East and West, centres
here, and it saves time and assists u;i ler
st.mding to d'Mcrihe oach young ladv by
linking with her the source of the fortune
which assists in making her attractive.
There is a limit, of is miss', but you may
hear of ‘Miss Barbwire this,’ or ‘Miss Painc'o
that.’ These titles uro, naturally, not used
in introduction. They are in vogue chiefly
over there," lie said, pointing to an Eden
Mu ee row uf old ladies with lace trips and
big diamonds, seated on the porch along the
wall. “But they are unmistakably handy
and save n long dialogue whenever used."
It lias rained fora week, and theplutoe
raey nro natufilly disgustwl. Tho nutter
fly is not an mpiutle insert, and a wntor
nroo* cover greatly interfere* with tho
orilliancy of its flight. The elegant sum
mer masterpieces of the milliner and dress
maker are still on the closet jiegs and nobody
can drive to Moore’s in a victoria without
risking the costume she wears. The hotels
me but partly lull, and it will be two weeks
liefore tin- usual crush and blur/' appears, at
least with its usual splendor. It may not
apjK'ar at nil for that matter. An unusu
ally large number of the Saratoga class
have gone hi Europe, ntid llie cottage class
lieie is Iteaiiliy increasing in number*,
thereby diminishing tiie throng in and
ills nit t he hotels.
Tiie most liotuvablo figure in some rest >ert*
in the dining itKim of inn Grnnd Union is
the Hon. Jeremiah Dunn, formerly of
Brooklyn. Mr. Dunn, a few yems since,
ciituo unit'' Ploniinc.:' iy linfare tilo pilhiir
through the accidental discharge in a saloon
in the Lake City of a pistol which he held.
As the accident occurred three times in suc
cession, and as, at its conclusion, Mr. James
Elliott, late of Joliet Prison, was found to
lx* extremely dead in three different places,
it was surmised, in fact ventured, by an in
quisitive public opinion that Mr. Dunn had
so far forgotten himself as to commit a
cold-blooded murder. The jury thought
differently, however, anil Mr. Dunn was ac
quitted. For a long time, however, the
sporting fraternity were heavily down on
Dunn. Either Elliott was very popular
with them or the cireumstnnees attending
his last moments did not coineido with their
views. Now, however, Dunn is on the top
wave of popularity. He lias a stable of
horses hero ami plenty of money. He wears
a stylish gray summer suit and a light high
hat. He has white teeth and a black beard
and a rose in his buttonhole, and when he
strolls down the centre aisle along with the
Hon. Patrick Duffy, the gentlemanly
“sport,” who knows more about New Or
leans politics than any man ought to, he is
an object of admiration to the 2J2 ebony
idols who act as food passers to the hungry
throng.
They are still opening wine in the cafe
over Larry Jerome’s last joke before he left
for Europe. It appears that Jerome, Col.
John Snelling, and Deputy Collector Brown,
of the Custom House, were spoiling bait, and
concocting fish stories up at, Dave Yueng
ling’s place on Brant Lake when Jerome
found either in his room or his pocket an
old vest button in imitation of smoky moth
er of pearl. The metal part was broken off.
He showed it to Snelling, saying:
"John. How much is that cat’s-eye
worth i"
"Two cents,” said Snelling after a critical
examination.
"Very well,” said Jerome, “I’ve always
been intending to make Brown a present,
and I’ll do it now. Como along and back
me up.
“Brown,” said he a little later, “I’m going
to Europe shortly and I want to leave you
a keepsake. Here is a cat’s-eye that was
given me by Rollins of the navy, ho got it
in China, and I want you to have it, because
I know you’ll appreciate it. Take it, old
tellow, don’t mention it; I always meant to
give you something.”
Brown was deeply moved, as he muttered
thanks. Snelling reached over and took it.
“By Jove, thatisa beauty,’’saidhe. “Never
saw a more perfect one in my life. Pity
they should have made that little hole.” It
was the hole the thread had passed through.
"Chinese did that, used to belong to a
mandarin’s daughter, wiio wore it as a neck
lace. Found at the sacking of Pekin,” said
Mr. Jerome with an anxious regret.
Mr. Brown is described as having been
duly appreciative. He took the stone to a
local jeweler, the others going along for
safety, and had S6O worth of diamonds put
round it. When it was done they bought
wine and admired the cat's eye and Brown
until the air was warm with paternal love.
Brown, it is said, is still unaware of the true
character of his diamond-mounted vest
button. Thero®s a fat man named Pommer
here. Whenever ho tells this story and de
scribes Brown’s joy, apoplexy sits outside
of his shirt collar and threatens that each
earthquake of laughter will be his last.
