ON THE CLEVELAND MUNICIPAL FARM.
One of the farm buildings in which tf»e prisoners eat and sleep, sur¬
rounded by fresh count rykir, but no iron bars.
Hew Cleveland Hopes to Make
Prisoners and Patients Self
Supporting.
By W. Frank McClure.
Cleveland’s new farm colony of
1500 acres, on which are being
grouped in separate villages the city
workhouse prisoners, the infirmary
wards and the patients suffering from
Tubercular disease, represents an in
I novation in municipal affairs that is
pound to attract attention. The pop¬
ulation of this city farm, already
numbering into the hundreds, will ul¬
timately reach 2000. The present
I area will probably be increased to
5000 acres when all th3 city’s penal,
sanitary anil philanthropic institu¬
tions shall have been moved from
the busy streets far into the country.
[The philanthropy, new plan not only represents a
| one department hut also institution an economy, being
or
made to serve another, to the end
that the whole is to become self-sup¬
porting, if the hopes entertained for
h are realized.
The site of this new city farm is
some ten miles from the central part
of Cleveland, near the little rural
[town of Warrensviile. It is 600 feet
: above Lake Erie, the highest point in
Cuyahoga County. The air is just
The thing for tubercular troubles, and
the land produces just the crops
i which are most needed in the main¬
tenance of city institutions, while, in
[addition I tlie to farming occupations for
i prisoners, there are stone quar
| r es of goodly dimensions.
A mile of electric railway has been
built by the city from the centre of
the farm to an interurban road lead
; into town. The Tarm is also pro
I 'ftded with its own car, which has the
| privilege of running over the various
| electric lines of the city. This car is
equipped with cots for patients un
a ')le to ride in the seats, and has an
apurtment for freight in addition to
the passenger quarters.
flel Nearly a mile to the west of the
i d terminal of the colony railway
i found, when I visited the place,
; seventy prisoners at work in the open
air. They are living in cottages
'‘'here iron bars are unknown.
A Naval Prediction.
The chief constructor of the French
Navy i 3 quoted as saying that he is
convinced that the battleship and
armored cruiser must before K>ng be
Merged into a single type, the battle
c ruiser. This resultant concentra
llon of great attack and defense with
^xtreme Ju nd illustrated, speed will, he believes, 1915, in be
say, in a
VeESQ l of 25,000 tons, mounting a
knit battery of high calibre guns and
developing a speed of not less than
wenty-two knots.
1116 French constructor Is also per¬
vaded that any navy now bold
enough to lav down battleships of
“ d >°00 tons' displacement will by
° ae st roke secure tremendous ad
^ a
nt aee over all its rivals, because a
Huadron of four such vessels will
greatly outclass six battleships less
elective in the energise- that can be
assembled.—Engineer.
HOME OF F. S. KEY’S YOUTH.
To Be Saved From Vandals and De¬
cay.
That the Francis Scott Key house
may be saved from destruction and
rescued from its present degeneration
into, a billboard for the advertisement
of patent wares, a memorial associa¬
tion has been incorporated in Wash¬
ington, headed by some of the most
prominent public men of the nation,
for the purpose of purchasing it, fill¬
ing it with the family relics of the
author of “The Star-Spangled Ban
ner,” nnd preserving it as a museum
and as a monument io his memory.
Among the corporators are Admiral
George Dewey,Rear*-Admiral Winfield
Scott Schley, retired; Justice Louis
E. McComas, of the District Court of
Appeals; District Commissioner H. B.
F. MacFarland and others.
The Key house stands in what was
Georgetown before it fused with
Washington and became a part of the
city. It is on the terrace below the
hill upon which stands Georgetown
University and at the foot of the
• ,reat r bridge which spans the Poto¬
c Virginia and to the
mac Hading into Arlington. It
.tationul Cemetery at
is on the route of travel usually tak¬
en by tourists, and can be seen in its
narrow street from the hill or
the bridge. This part of Georgetown
is older than Washington and full of
historic interest dating back to the
time when General Braddoek landed
his redcoats there in Colonial days
and marched them into the wilder
ness to be cut to pieces.
It has been fift< years since the
old house passed out of the hands of
the Key family, and in that time it
has fallen into great decay. The part
of the town which was once the fa¬
vorite residence place of vilG old fam¬
ilies has become a third-rate river¬
front community.
The Cowboy Bishop.
Once, while still Bishop of Wyom¬
ing and Idaho, Bishop Talbdt went
to St. Paul to attend a meeting of
dignitaries of the church. There one
noon, on the porch of the hotel, a
tramp approached a group of bishops
and asked for aid.
“No,” one of the churchmen re¬
plied, “I don’t think we can do any¬
thing. But down there is the young¬
est bishop of us all” (pointing to
Bishop Talbot); “and he’s a very*
generous man. »*
The. tramp went to Bishop Talbot,
and the others watched with interest.
They saw a look of surprise come
over the tramp’s face—they saw that
the bishop was talking eagerly,
earnestly—they saw the tramp look
perturbed—but they finally saw that
something passed from hand to hand.
The tramp tried to get away with¬
out speaking to those of the group,
but the former spokesman called to
him.
“Well, did you get something fro%
our young brother?”
The tramp grinned sheepishly,
“No; I gave him a dollar for his new
cathedral at Laramie!”—Harper's.

Washington College Girls Indignant.
When Bishop Seadding c! the dio¬
cese of Oregon, in the Episcopal
Church, said that western girls are
cheaper to entertain than the eastern
variety, he was unaware that he
touched a tender spot in the makeup
of the girls at the University of Wash¬
ington. The ’varsity young women say
the Bishop does not know whereof
he speaks, or he would not make such
assertions.
The girls say that a gaze at? Mount
Rainier is not a substitute for ice
cream and that they demand other
articles of diet besides sea food. They
also intimate that the Bishop has not'
been in the habit of entertaining the
sweet girl graduates of the land or
he would not say they are cheap to
feed.
The girls do not want the impres¬
sion to get out, however, that they
are expensive luxuries and that- they
“bleed” the youthful swains of the
west. A happy medium is the key
note of their sentiments.—The Seat

He Could Stand Disgrace.
Walter Howard, the-London drama
itist, was leaving the stage doer of a
theater one evening when an anae
mile took in t youtfa stepped up and
>
said: <i Are you Mr. Howard?” The
author replied in the affirmative,
whereupon the young fellow said he
wanted to go on the stage. Noticing
1 his evident unfitness for such a life
Howard advised him to stick to his
present occupation, whatever, it was.
; “I am assistant to the pawnbroker
I across the way,” said the ambitious
young man. “And what do your peo
pie think of your going on the stage?”
asked Howard. “Oh, they are right
against it,” was the jaunty reply, “hut
I shouldn’t mind the disgrace my
, self.’ •Pittsburg Dispatch.
Faked Coronation Scene.
Probably the most notable faked that j
living picture ever produced was
which purported to give'a representa¬
tion of the actual scene inside West¬
minster Abbey at the King)s Corona¬
tion.
j The production was the work of an j
inventive Frenchman, who had spe
cial scenery of the abbey painted and
I reproductions of the "'historical cos¬
tumes made. Then a number of
; ! French actors were “made up” to frep
| resent the King, the aged Primate and
other central figures—and remarkably
life i ike they were.

; managers, however, made no attempt
to impose on the public and openly
confessed that the scene was a “fake.”

How She Knew.
A Washington correspondent told
the other night a story that he claim¬
ed to have heard from President
Roosevelt at a Gridiron Club dinner. ,
“Two women,” he said, “were dis- !
cussing some new neighbors who had
moved into one of the most sumptuous
houses in their city.
II ‘They seem to be very rich,’ said
the first.
it ‘Oh, they are,’ said the second.
it ‘Shall you call?’
“ ‘Decidedly.’
it ‘You are sure, are you that they
they—er—quite correct, quite—er—
good form?'
“ ‘Oh, my dear. I’m positive,’ said
the second woman. ‘They have 30
servants, 18 horses, 12 dogs, 11 auto¬
mobiles and one child.’ ’’—Washing
ton Star.

and afterward used for dresses.— j
