taken to prevent the entrance to the

The Sacrament Administered to In
mates Of Joliet Prison.

The Sacrament Administered to In
mates Of Joliet Prison.
Joliet, ILL.,, special, June 6, to st. Louis
Republican: Archbishop Feehan laid a
visit to the prison at Joliet today. The &C.
casion of his grace's visit was to administer
the sacrament Of confirmation TO III con-
yicts. Never before has such thing occur
rsd in any penal Institution in the country.
Il was, indeed, novel sight and a most i'm
pressive one, too, to see these hardened
criminals, who until recently had never ac-
knowledged even the existence Of God,
boving their heads and bending their knees
to that God and asking Him for strength to
guide them hepceforth in the right path.
The most striking feature of the whole cere-
mony, and everybody that witnessed it re-
marked II, was the real penitence of the
couvicts who were confirmed. There did
not seem to be particle of sham about it
They were all in downright earnest and
looked as II they were sorry for their past
lives and intended to do better in the fu-
tue.
The III men who were confirmed were
part of q class which Bro. Adjutor, director
OF St Patrick's Commercial academy of this
city, has been instructing for the past five
months. The convict choir and orchestra,
under the leadership Of Mrs. Fish, Joliet
lady, sang and played sacred music. When
the archbishop had donned his robes he
took his crozier, proceeded to the front of
the platform and delivered short sermon.
As he finished the convicts on the front
oerches knelt down while the archblshop
offered short prayer. A bench had beer
placed In front of and close to the platform.
On this they knelt, eight at q time, while
70 each OF them In turn, according fo The
form laid down In the ritual OF the Catholic
church. They marched out and returned
70 their seats under the guidance of BRO
Adlutor without the slightest confusion

dried pumpkins, and other articles.
The great corn crop now, amount
ing to many hundreds Of millions OF
bushels every year, is mostly convert
ed into whisky. Why this is done,
may be gathered from the following
article, which I take from the Scien-
tifc American:
THE ALCOHOLIC VALUE OF A BUsHEL OF
CORN.
The Milling World, in answer to a
correspondent, who calls in question
the accuracy of previous statement
in the same paper on the percentage
of our cereal crop used in distilling,
gives the following curious statement
converted into an alcoholic beverage:
Let our correspondent, says the edi-
tor, trace a bushel Of corn, for in
stance, from the field to the drinkers
glass The grower works at least two
hours in raising bushel Of corn. He
sells the bushel for 80 cents on his
farm. He spends the 80 cents for two
drinks, thus parting forever with his
corn.
Now follow the corn. It cost 80
cents, and is turned into seventeen
quarts of Intoxicating drink. The dis
tiIlers receive 40 cents a gallon for
converting into whisky. The corn in
it's changed shape represents the orr G.
inal 80 cents and the S1.70 for the
distiller, making its value at this stage
S2 Then the government tax of 80
cents gallon adds 1886 to the value,
swelling it to S5.95. The bushel Of
corn now passes on to the job sales
men and wholesalers, and through
them to the retailers. By the time it
has reached the retailers it has been
reduced" in strength and increased
in quantity by the admixture Of water
and other more harmful substances,
so that it's measure has at least been
doubled, and the corn, when it begins
to drop into the drinkers glasses on
the bar, represents about 81 gallons OF
drink.
Allowing sixty drinks to the gallon,
the official bar average, the bushel of
corn will furnish 27O drinks, which,
at an average of Is cents to the drink,
will take S4O5O from the pockets of
the consumers This, added to the
$5S5 put into the corn up to the time
of reaching the jobbers. makes total
!, of S46.35. Subtract the 80 cents
which the farmer received for the
corn, and the blance, $4605, will show
the amazing profits made by those
> who do not till the soil to grow the
!. corn, but who multiply infinitely by
t scientific means the mis- chievous pow
ers of the grain, and who from this
hurtful multiplication reap easy, large
and reliable profits. The origina
) price of the bushel of corn is contain
4 ed 155 times in the ultimate receipts
4 from it. In this way the enormous
. wasting power of alcoholic drink cal
be easily understood. Our correspon
