PRISON INVESTIGATIONS. 7 Governor Atom son promises to i >re cipftate a lively bilttle by liis request to the Board of <’barifles mini Public Welfare that he'be aUowrtl T 6 conduct |he investigation into conditions at tliM prisons of the State. The Governor formerly had asked the hoard memliers to conduct the investigation hut last week he decided that he wanted to conduct the inquiry personally. His request has already brought forth . much comment from various sources In the State, and while the hoard is almost, certain to grant the request of Mr. Morrison its members are not eer fain to feel that he is not making a j mistake, according to indications and intimations coming from the State capital. Due to the great publicity that has f been given the investigation recently. it seems to us that the inquiry itself | is of the greatest importance and ti e | question of who is to conduct it pro:>- fthtr comes next. If nothing had been Bakl by Governor Morrison or mem bers of the board of charities when Charges were first made that prisen- I ers’ in the State jienal institutions were not fairly treated, then the investiga k tktß would not he needed, hut too much hits been said now for the matter to £■< be dropped, and the people of the State demand that a full investigation | be made and all of the facts made I public. E j Governor Morrisqp states that he & wants to make the investigation him self becuuse within the next several | weeks he wants to inaugurate in I North Carolina "an up-to-date prison |s' By stem.* He also declares that his g; Investigation need not interfere with I tone proposed by the hoard of chari- H ties and welfare, hut that lie does not |; Wont the latter made upon his re- Guest, as would have been done if he jfc had not withdrawn his request. I ; The fuller tile investigation the bet p |er, we believe. If there is anything £•" wrong at the Raleigh prison or any of f the others the public should know and Rytt.wiilkiot he long until the trouble is P ioroneil out. / HI. T It would seem that the question of ELvgHMfker or not prisoners iu this cotin- H:' fy have been treated cruelly is an- Kj|Neicd for the present. The board of E::Mmntv commissioners finds after an ■teljiyestigation that the men have not Mtm treated crueUy ahd the hoard HHMfillmrs were basing their report on BgHptOtoents made by the prisoners think the commissioners are to mitt! commended for the manner in which tackled the proposition in this HSMjiiy. The grand jury report stated Hp-prisoners were not treated right, j i«e have no doubt that the report K&MB based on statements made by the jj,. and the commissioners gave Kijlviery man in the camps ail opportun ■Mßy to give his version of camp life KStli .ijitaffort to get at the facts. They |||p9s paly secured these facts hut they them and ufade them the sub of a long meeting. And when all hlid lijjeh bailed down ami ■KT*ubßtunee waV evident, the corn l-v-HBtfoners found that the prisoners nbt been cruelly treated, though Changes iu the management of (■io6 was recommended ami bet *' is the best way j ■ l barms county received some unfavor . able publicity in regard to the condh I tions at the camp and we think it was i but fair aud right that the commis ' sioners should make a thorough inves | tigation. They have statements of' • prisoners and persons who may think I the report was not just what it should , have been could see the statements and decide for themselves just how bad conditions have been at the cafnps. Members of the board are men of un ; questionable character, however, and now that they have rendered their ver dict we do not exited that verdict to lie questioned. Let's have a full investigation at Raleigh and the other State camps. We should keep nothing from the pub -1 lie. Germany’s Gentle Poor Sell Their Old Finery. Berlin, May 12—Thousands of Gerpnan gentlewomen are now going through the tragedy which Russian women of the same class have sinter ed for several years. Widows of of ficers and government officials, wo men with small pensions and limited incomes from investments, find them selves -unable to buy the plainest food with their depreciated mars*. A few days ago he aged widow of a once prominent physician and her invalid daughter were found almost dead from hunger in their home, .which had been stripped of every ' saleable article. The mother had done j needlework as long as she was anle. She was too proud to ask charity, and the doctors who were called ljy neighbors to attend her said both the mother and daughter, if left alone, would have been dead in another 24 hours. In an effort to alleviate the condi tion of such persons and protect them from unscrupulous second-hand deal ers, a number of philanthropic Ber lin women have organized a fair where second-hand articles may he offered for sale. The owners may act , as their sales-ageuts, or entrust j their wares to representatives of the . committee. ■With German efficiency the mem bers of the relief committee nave provided tables behind .which the sel'ers have chairs. They are mostly elderly women. Many of them are cripples, and almost without excep tion their worn and old fashioned clothing indicates their gentle ‘birth. A few* very old men sit among the women, and scarcely any of the ven dors are young enough to do any manual labor. Thus they sit, day after day, waiting the chance to exchange the finery of by-gone days into sue and food for today. How Egyptians Made the Pyramids. London. May 12.—How did the ancient Egyptians, without the aid of windlass, blink, or tackle, succeed ity erecting their gigantic pyramids ana obe isks? This problem, which has engaged the attention of antiquaries i and mechanics for ages, is now be- : lieved to have -been solved by Mr. R. Engelhach, Chief Inspector of Anti quities in Upper Egypt, whose ex- < planation is very interesting. i In the fiirst place, a sloping em bankent was erected, having on its high end a funnel-shaped pit descend- < ing to the prepared 1 pedestal on which the obelisk was to 1 rest. A gentle curve led down from the surface of the embankment until 1 it met the sloping walls of the fun- 1 net. The funnel was filled with sand, and 1 the obelisk was rolled up the em bankment until its base was over the opening. The base of the obelisk ; was then allowed to sink into the funnel and the sand was removed from the foot of the funnel through tunnels. All the time the sand -was being removed the obelisk naturally sank lower into the cavity, mtu. at Inst, rested on its pedestal. JMr. Engel had a model obe'isk mad? and, putting his theory to the test, found that it worked successful ly. In the days of the ancient Egyptians great armies of men were engaged on this work As many as * ten thousand were sent at a time to i transport monument of less weight . than an obelisk. Pta» Mothers’ Memorial. Philadelphia, May 12.—The building of a permanent mothers’ memorial at Washington is the goal announced by the Mothers' Day International (Asso ciation, of which Miss Anna Jarvis, of this city, is founder and president. Mothers' Dliy falls this year on May 175th. Miss Jarvis quotes from Abraham Lincoln. "All I am or ever hope to lie I owe to my ungel mother." and con tinues : "The Lincoln memorial honors the great emancipator. Should not his mother, as well us every mother in this country,, be honored in some equal measure?" i-‘ i 'I ■ in ti i m..it,w 'iiiu,iMi«csgaaapa»WCg«gßMggMWM«gggfes»«=g^^ [T^ \ vouVe-Seenf .

New York, May 11. —Delmonlco’s, the best known of New York's old restau rants and the last of the establish ments to bear the famous name, has fallen into the hands of the sheriff, with the probability that the place will follow others of its ktnd Into the ob livion which came with the Volstead act. The passing of the restaurant will bring a sigh of regret from epi cures the world over, presidents and princes have been entertained there by the warm French hospitality and gaiety for which it was famous. It \vas art and was generally accepted as such. To have lived in New York, or to Uuve visited this city, without dining at one of the Delmonico restaurants, would, a few years ago, have been to have missed an opportunity of shining before people who had never lteen in New York. It would have been like leaving Philadelphia without seeing the Mint, or Boston without seeing the Common, or Chicago without seeing the Masonic Temple. To have dined at any of the Delmonie# restaurants, when there were four of them, was something to talk about; to have din ed at the original Delmontco. or the Delmonico that from 1890 until about 1917 occupied the sue of the first Del monico restaurant, at Beaver and Wil liam streets, was an experience'to di late upon. Os all the Delmonico res taurants. the one that has now fallen into difficulties is all that remains, and this for a long time has lieen conduct ed by people not related to the Del monico family. Delmonico long ago became only a trade name, and now it is likely to disappear altogether. John and Peter Delmonico - arrived In New York nearly a century ago from Switzerland, and had been in lie city only a few weeks when they ssued a circular, in English and in French, announcing that they were prepared to supply holiday refresh ments, fancy cakes, and ices, at num bers 21 and 23 William street. This ,vas the beginning. Between 1827 and he outbreak of the civil war the Del monicos became known throughout the length and breadth of the land, and in other parts of the globe as well. The little shop soon expanded into a case, mil the case spread completely over he premises. In 183(5 tin* Delmduico u-others erected on the site a four dory building, and, this proving too ■ontracted. they added a section to it. m 1899 these quarters were replaced >y an eight-story structure. In 1893 the brothers aliened an cs rahlishment at\Fourfeenth street and Fifth avenue, which became the scene >f many celebrated dinners and balls. Here the famous dinner costing .825,- i:»o was given in honor of "Sir Morton Peto. Another great diaper given in his restaurant was in honor of Char- - (>e Dickens. In 1878 the Delmonieos surpassed j devious achievements and moved to ] Twenty-sixth street anil Fifth avenue, j 'll 1899 there was another move I <i the present building at Fifth ave- j me and Forty-fourth street. j Strangers were welcomed in the l)ei- j monieo restaurants, although all of i them preserved an air of apparent ex- j •tnsiveness. It is told of the Delmoni :o system that if a stranger should drop in and order to his heart's con tent. and at the conclusion express sorrow that he had forgotten his pock 'tbook. the manager would smile and, after asking him to indorse his bill, courteously lanv the guest, out. If the latter returned and squared up in I lie time, all was well: if he failed to do this, he would la- refused service thereafter, even though he ottered to pay in advance. The unwritten motto of the lkouse of Delmonico was, "Every patron is assumed to lie a gentleman until he turns out to lie something else." 1 Stomach' Out of Fix? ’Phone your grocer or' druggist for a case of this delicious di gestant,—a glass with meals gives delightful relief, or no charge for the Rrst dozen used.

E.B. GRADY Plumbing and Heating Contractors tl Corbin St. OOe* Mn SMW . Mothers of Famous Men * The Mother of Gladstone. Anne Robertsyn and John Gladstone were like the hero and the heroine of a romance, but little did either of them dream .that their son, William Ewiy t Gladstone, would become "The Grand Old Man” of England.* Very far away, indeed, from the active days of the great ftatespiun seem the dn?s of his father'and-mother. Anne was a "hie , land John was a lowland Mian, hut both were from the land of the heather and the--hill. Both of them came from old families, which had held both property and power, but times had changed, and money was not so common as It had lieen. Jjtill, John Gladstone was a canny man of busi ness, and he could buy and sell as on ly a Scotchman like Wniself could do. He was dowu in London, piling up a fortune. Anne Robertson Was very differaffff from John Gludstonit Anne was a creature of the mountain ahd the hist mid the heather. Little enough she cared for business. ,SUe was a tease, for she was always lively, and ready for mischief. Still, she had a deeply serious nature in which religion play ed a grent part. So the “hielnnd las sie" and the lowland man were map lied, and they did indeed live hap pily ever after. i There was enough money and to spare now. for John Gladstone more than jirosiiered. Anne, however, led a busy enough life, for she looked ten derly, with Scotch insistence upon do ing her full duty,, after 'the interests of her six children. One of these they had mimed William Ewart Glad stone! Anne found him, though not her flrst-lxirn. iieeuliarly quick and bright, and she gloried in teaching him. especially in reading the Bible to him. Little did she suspect, in those happy days when she sat with the earnest lit tle boy, and read to him from the holy hook, or sang hymns in her sweet voice, that she. was instilling Hie principles that one of the greatest of British Premiers should use In ruling a vast empire!
