Our Penal Institutions.

The penal institutions of Delaware
consist Of one jail in each county and
the police station in Wilmington It
is Of the jails we wish to speak If
they are not mismanaged they are
managed entirely on the wrong plan.
They are a great expense to the coun-
ties. They are agencies Of doubtful
value in the suppression of immor-
ality and crime How to avoid the
expense, TO make them places Of secure
confinement. to make them valuable
agencies in the suppression Of crime can
be told in one word Set the prisoners
to work The jails would then be self
supporting They could all be rebuilt
by the prisoners with massive stone
walls and iron doors and constant daily
labor would give the criminal a
good digestion, cheerful mind

back to end a wasted life in a loathsome
dungeon. The idea that prison labor
lessons the rewards of honest toll by
competition is bugbcar. Honest
toll must support the criminal classes,
and the long row Of officials set to watch
over them, unless they are made to work
and thus earn an honest living for them.

SOME STARTLING FACTS.
The Discovery OF the Cause Of Most I'm
timely Deaths that Come upon
the Community.

The Official returns ofthe city of New York show

this fact 1t Is really awful And yet every Gaze

ing,
In view OF such serious and ever present facts
the suggestions and advice OF the most eminent
physicians are Of the greatest value.
DR.. John Gardner, one Of the most EN- nent ply
sieians in London. says: "science, common senss
holy scriptures and all experience testify 10 the
benefits derived from the use OF pure whisky"
DR.. ID. H. Barker says: II have used and exam
ined Dufy's Pure Malt Whisky, and dnd II the
best ever tried"
DR.. S. NJ. Buckwalter says: "Dufs's Pure Malt
Whisky is,withont doubt, the invalid's drink when
stimulants are indicated, and find all chronic
cases requ re stimulants, and large per cent Of
the acute ones aleo."
These truths from the lips OF the leading scienti-
nc men OF the day. and confirmed by the experience
Of men and women well known in the community,
should serve as guide for all who feel the APP
proach of consumption. no matter by what path II
ay come. We do not hesitate to assert that any
man woman who will use Dufy's Pnre Malt
hisky according to directions, can defy con
sumption and prolong life with all It's blessings.

there would be no harm In just closing his
eyes, he could think 90 much better
Here he was drinking in the very life Of
the poor, strange, terrible life he had never
really imagined before. He had seen how
worn and broken were their men, and read
the pathetic lines of despair and sullen
wretchedness written on their faces, as If in
silent reproach to the providence that had
inflicted the unsoftened curse of life on them.
He had seen, too, their hapless girlhood,
which beauty cannot cheer, which love only
makes blacker, as the path Of lightning
starless night. And their sick, too, with no
nursing, no gentle words, no comforts to as
suage one hour of pain. Then he seemed to
be in the hall once more, and thrilling under
the eloquence of the man Curran. Suddenly
he opened his eyes wide. 1t could not be he
was going to sleep the bed was too hard
absurd-there could be no danger. But in
five minutes the heir Of the Breton mills was
sound asleep in John Graves garnet room.
How long he had slept Philip had no more
idea than Rip Van Wihkle on a former occa-
sion; indeed it took him ridiculously long
time to separate dreams and facts enough to
get his bearings. Was that moonlight in the
east, or dawn. Perhaps the family were all
up and escape would be impossible. He
bounded to his feet and clutched at his false
whiskers, but alasl his paint was all dis
solved in the tin basin. His only chance was
in getting away unnoticed, and in two min
utes more he was cropping out of his little
room and down the steep stairs, boots in
hand He slowly opened tho door into the
sitting room. What if Graves stood within
curlously watching An odd guest, this,
stealing out before daybreak. Again Philip
wished he had stayed at home that night.
Thank God! no one was in the room. There
was tho cracked, rusty stove and the sofa the
sick woman had lain upon; there was the
dish Of cold potatoes on the table and the
chair he had sat in while he tried to eat But
somebody must be up in the inner room; q
stream of light made white track through
the half open door. Would that bolt never
slip--there. 1t slipped with a vengeance, and
Philip drew back into the staircase in mortal
terror. The light streak on the floor began
to move, and in q moment more a white
figure stood on the threshold Of the bed
room. 1t was Jane Graves, with her long
black hair about her neck and white night
dress, and her eyes glistening brightly. She
held the lamp above her head, and lot her
drapery cling as fondly as it chose about a
form that would have charmed a sculptor.
As she listened he could see her wavy hair
rise and fall over her beating heart Would
she notice the open stair door and come for
wardi What thenl He must push her rude
" to one side He imagined her startled
screams and the fathers figure hurrying into
the scene from another room to seize the in
terloper. No, she returns to her room. In
another instant he has opened the door and
is walking along the street. His escape was
well timed, for the gray dawn of another day
of toll and WEAKNESS is creeping over the
| factory village.
