ERIL ITEMS.

Brecitfes.--It Is considered great
sport in Kansas for people to get mar
ried and keep it Il secret until-it is
time to make it known.
In 1877 grasshopper law was pass
ed by the legislature, and lit was
made so stringent i'll its PROVISIONS"
says the Lawrence J0rHai. THAT no
grasshoppers have been seen in Kan
sas since it took effect This shows
conclusively that what the Noble Or
der wants to do IN the next mining
and ventilation bill put in Il grass
hopper clause
Titus A. Brick says "the propoSi-
ton to make Mr.. Blaine Secretary of
State has caused the tai. of the British
lion to assume all of its pristine spiral
ity." 1t would not surprise the jour
NAL now to learn that Titus is the
author of the term, 'shcriffality."
Not far from Sang Run, the c1l,--
brated belated election district, is Il
pair of calves which present in geu-
eral way the architectural features of
the Siamese twins.
Somebody sent II Front Royal (Va.)
editor IL big turnip some time ago.
Prohibition reigns there, constructive
ly speaking, and the editor acknowl-
ed the bulb with the deprecatory re-
mark-"plenty to eat and nothing to
drink" Ostensibly whisky is scarce
there, very scarce, and many a man
who does not know the ropes is glad
of chance to chew cancelled inter-
nal revenue stamp.
HoiC sam BIuBcd the Disgruntied.
In his lecture at Columbia. Mo-,
Rev. Sam Jones said:
The State should not allow its university to
stay in a town which the people peanut to
get soaked with whiskey.
This mashed toes by the barrel. One
fellow returned II distinct s-s-s-sh. If
the great Sam had been Kissed in the
Athens of Missouri, what would have
been the result? For u second every
body held their breath then Sam
said:

THE BERrILLoN SYSTEM
One of the Strongest Factors in Repress-

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
BOSTON, Mass, July 16.-To-day's
session of the National Prison ass1cIa-
ton began at 10 o'clock in the hall of
the house of representatives. There
were nearly 200 persons present. Inc
secretary read list of all persons regis
tered, 1863 in all, the largest attendance
ever had at any prison congress. Inc
states represented were Alabama, Col
orado, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois,
Indiana. Kansas. Maryland. Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, New York, New Jersey,
Ohio. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Wis
consin and the provinces. Capt. Joseph
Nicholson, superintendent of the De-
troit house of correction and president
of the Wardens' associatian, read
paper in which he said: f"The Ber-
tillon system for registration and identi-
fication of criminals, when in general
use by reformatory institutions and po-
lice departments, under proper restric-
tions, will prove a strong factor in re-
pressing crime. The question OF how
to deal with the criminal class must ere
long be met by the application of more
potent remedies, such as will reach the
cause of moral defOrmitieS. An i'm
portant means for represSlng crime Is
the certainty of being identified. This
the Bertillon system will do after the
first conviction in spite of fertile in
genuity and crafty DISCUSSES OF crlml-
nails" A change of programme was
made in order to discuss the O'Neill bill,
word having been received that it would
come up In congress Wednesday. A
paper on the labor question was pre-
sented by Charles E. Welton, of Chi
cago. He said that if the hostile ligisla-
ton to prison labor continues all the
prisoners in the country
WILL SOON BE IDLE.
He attributed this state of affairs to
the power of labor agitatOrs. He argued
that the method proposed by the O'Neill
bill would not protect labor, and that it
was wrong to lock up prisoners in idle
ness. EX-Gov. Bullock, of Georgia, said
the abandonment of the whole system
of leasing convictS in vogue in the South.
He predicted that southern members of
congress would vote against the bill
when they saw it would compel the sup
port of prisoners in idleness. G. E.
Brockway, of New York, offered reso-
luton that the executive committee OF
the association confer with the COVER
nors of the states throughout the Union
with view to calling conference Oh
the convict labor question.
Prof. Wayland offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That in the judgment of this as
ISOLATION productive prison labor is all indis-
pensable factor in the
WORK OF PRISON REFORM,
and that any scheme which has tendency
topermit or promote the idleness of prisoners
will infiict an irreparable loss upon the pris-
Dner, the workingman and the state.
Both resolutions were adopted unani-
mously, adjournment till evening fol-
lowing.
