My proposition is, that there is very little
difference between our worst state prisons
and our best in the effect produced upon con-
victs as to reformation or IA reduction of the
criminal class. The state prison at Weth-
erstield, Conn.,, is one Of the old type.
1t is an old and ram-shackle establishment,
patched up from time to time, and altogether
gloomy and depressing place. 1t is, how
ever, well managed it is mode to pay about
its running expenses; and many OF the
modern alleviations of prison life are applied
there-a library, occasional entertainments
diminution of time OF sentence for good
condnct, and SO on, whatever such place is
capable OF In the way OF comfort consistent
with the system. But the inmates are the
most :discourging feature of the exhibition.
They are in appearance depressed, degraded,
down-looking, physically sluggish, mentally
and morally tending to more and more deg
radiation. There is no hope or suggestion OF
good, and the men earn time by good con-
duct, but there are no evidences that the
alleviations (Which taken from the former
terrors Of prison life) are working the least
moral change. 1t is most depressing and
dispiriting sight
Would any change for tho better be
wrought If the environmentwere more cheer
ful? The state prison at Cranston, X. l., Is a
new, handsome, granite building with the
modern improvements. Perfectly lighted
and ventilated, with roomy cells, common
mess-room, an admirable hospital, more
than usually varied dietary, with library,
and all the privileges that humanity can
suggest as consistent with discipline and
security, it is as little gloomy and depressing
as state prison well can be. Having occa-
sion recently to look into this matter officially
confess that expected to find at Cranston
a very different state of affairs as to the con-
victs from that existing at Wethersheid.

Where BARRIERS Abound.

The BARRIERS trade is one of tn,
most important in Persia. The Gus
toms enjoined by the Koran, or relig-
ious law, make 1t indispensable that
BARRIERS should abound in this coun-
try. The Koran makes it honora BILE
for man to wear a beard, but COM
mands the shaving of the head. There
are two great sects among those who
accept the Mahommedan faith, the
Sheas and the Sunnees. The latter
are all Turks and they shave the
whole crown, excepting tuft in the
center by which the archangel NAV
draw them out of the grave.
But the Persians are all Sheas, and
they have the center of the head.
from the forehead to the neck, leav-
ing a long curl on each side. 1t is
curious to see even little boys with
their head thus polished. The Per-
SLAMS consider it great disgrace to
lose their side curls. As they all
wear turbans, or black, comical caps
of Astrakhan lambskin. no one would
suspect the head to be shaved until
the cap is taken off. Then, indeed.
the appearance of the head is exceed
ingly grotesque. 1t is evident that
the care OF the hair is a very i'm
portant question in Persia. But this
Is not all.
One rarely sees gray beard or
gray locks in Teheran. Even the
most venerable men have dark or red
hair. The reason is because all, from
he highest to the lowest. dye their
lair. This is done first with
ienna, which gives it reddish tint.
Many prefer to leave it thus. But
'thers add to the henna second |
tain of indigo, and tho combination

GEORGIA KU-KLUX,

Heroic Measures for Purifying the Morals
of the City of DaIton-Seven Frail Wo-

Thief Beaten to Death.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, August 90
There is intense excitement at Dalton,
Ca, this morning over visit paid that
place by band of Ku- Klux last night
There were fifty men, all we'll disguised,
who entered the city shortly after mid
night. They visited house of ill-fame
owned by Mrs. Jane Kidd, and the
woman and six of her borders were
dragged from their beds and each
one was given fifty lashes. Some OF
the women are in critical condition and
may die. The band then went to the
house of Tom Carver, a noted thief, and
beat him to death, after torturing him
for half an hour. Another negro named
Armstad was so terribly beaten that he
will die. The band then notified several
persons to leave the place at once or they
would be killed. No clue can be had as
to the identity of any of the band.
