BOgardus's and MilIer's
Strength.

When Capt. A. III. Bogardus aud Prof.
VIM. Miller appeared on the platform in
Gilmor's Garden New York, Monday
evening, to compete in feats of strength.
the former merely threw off his coat and
vest and was ready. Miller's muscles
had full play under an athletes costume.
The conditions of the match that they
had made were that each should name
two feats, the winner of three to take
the money. Miller rolled out two dumb
bells weighing 100 pounds each, and raised
them above his head. Bogardus looked
at the dumbbells suspiciously and said
that he had never practised with them.
Nevertheless he grasped them. He could
only raise them as high as his shoulders.
Then he sent for two kegs OF lager each
weighing 1l5 pounds. Grasping each by
the chime he carried them to the middle
of the platform. Miller smiled and said
that he had never practised with them
He tried to pick them up but failed
Bogardus then lifted them on to a table
Then to show what he could do with
dumbbells Bogardus carried around the
stage two of them Weighing together 35s
pounds. Miller afterward raised above
his head a dumbbell weighing 180 pounds
The judges were undecided and they
asked the referee to make a decision. HI
declared it draw.

Paul Marquett, quiet and offensive
resident Of Geigertown, committed sui
eide few days ago in that vicinity by
opening the arteries in his wrists and
neck and bleeding to death. He left home
on Tuesday, and. on his not returning at
the time specified, his wife became
greatly alarmed. The woods, barns,
stables, and ontbuildings were searched
by lantern light. and HIS dead body was
found in the barn of z. j. Geiger in one
of the back baymows. He was lying on
his face, and was quite dead. He had
been desPondent and downhearted ever
since the failure of the savings bank.
Marquett had the savings of his life deposi
ted with the Messrs. Bass. and by their
failure was left destitute, and was utterly
unable to work. His wife was compel
led to 20 out washing, which added still
more to his trouble. A few days ago he
said he would "make a strike" one of
these days that would settle the case. His
life was an exemplary one, and up to the
time of the hank crash he was a good
citl zen, cheerful, industrious, and appar-
emily without any trouble on his mind.

tempted in Reno, Nevada. Ah Choney

another Chinaman was substituted for
him, the latter agreeing to take the

Ah Choney was detected before he could

some people will be able to get them will
be- by putting on cheerful countepances,

able when the bill was simply a project,
is to make an attack on the credit Of the
country without the chance of gaining
any benefit by 1t. If party differences in

that party differences in finance should

The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1878-11-22

The first step toward reform is to give mag.
istrates a right within certain limits, to direct
such punishmepts as they shall see are best
fitted to reform the wrong doers. They have
all the facts before them, and best know what
is just and right in each case. This will not
give them undue powers, but it will take
away pretexts for not doing their duty. Now
they must fine, or imprson, or discharge.
In many cases either Of these courses is un-
suitable,..and many wrong doers go free, for
| to enforce the law would only make things
worse.
This state of things is full of evil Ifmag.
istrates could bind them out to do work, or
direct the minors to be chastised by parents or
guardians or suitable persons many would be
saved from the moral leprosy which infects
our jails. Such or like punishmeuts would be
inflicted, and there would be no excuse for let
ting offenders escape.
Magistrates should have in addition to their
present powers the same right of control over
vagrants disorderly persons, and habtual Of
Tenders which parents or guardians have over
their children or wards. The fact that they
belong to these classes should be judcially de.
cided after a certain number of convictions.
When they are thus enrolled in these classes,
they should have no right to vote at any elec-
ton. As our laws now stand, notorious Of
i tenders who do no honest work who can only
r live in immoral ways are held to be innocent
I persons, when they are arrested, until the for
O NAL, technical, and sometimes expensive proofs
4 are furnished that they are guilty of practices
}. which there is a moral certainty they indulge
d in This is right when they are accused of
n grave crimes. But there is no hardship in
D. putting such persons into that state of ward
id ship in which the law places all persons who
= ave under the age of twenty .one years. or af
rs fcted with disordered minds. Should disor
II derly morals be more leniently dealt with tha,
- disordered intellects?
at There is no danger in giving magistrate
n the power over habitua offenders which par
7 ents and guardians have over minors-tha
at Of maklug them work, of binding them out
NO and of locking them up; and, in the case o
rs. children, having them chastised rather tha
sent to jails. There is no reason to fear tha
I'VE this punishment will be used too often or to
On. harshly. 1t would rarely be applied, br
,ok should not be made illegal, as it woul
give magistrates great control, and would {
much to put an end to the bravado and swa
md ger of disordery boys which are so much ~
of nired by their weak and youthful compa
