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jfc had not withdrawn his request.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

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?"

PASSING OF DELMOMCO’S
Famous Restaurant Has Fallen Into
the Hands of the Sheriff.
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

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! Few mothers, however, ever
realize <Vlmt great work they accomp
lish !
