IMPRISONED WOMEN.
How Feminine Vanity and Self-Wnl
Operate Behind the Bars.


tFrom the San Francisco Argonaut.l
Complusion is the woman convicts
drop of bitterness. The complete morti-
hcation of that harmless sort of vanity
which fills SO much of woman's life
makes her durance doubly vile. All
her fine feathers are sacrificed ruth
lessly. Her hair, which she has apos-
tolic authority for regarding as an
ornancnt, is shorn of its last lock as
soon as her cell has been allotted to her;
and the face which has gazcd with per-
feet passiveness, almost to rouse a
country's admiration, and the tongue
that has been mute under the finding
OF jury and sentence OF judge, are
now raised to plead pathetically with
the holder of the scissors, while the cor
ridors sometimes ring again to the
piercing cries for sparing pity US the
inexorable shears gather their harvest
of curls. But, spring returns, and the
hair rcnews itself, and before the next
shearing day the girls grumbled that
n thoughtless administration provides
them with no hairpins, One woman
whose hair continued to be suspiciously
resplendent, as OF macassar, after weeks
or Incarceration, was an object of some
wonderment, even to the chaplain, until
she explained to him in confidence that
size ullONtu nVr OTOtu 10 grow COOL ana
then SKINNED off the fat to glitter in her
crown of glory. Another girl certainly
rouged and rouge tells effectively on
the pallor of prison confinement. Great
was the envlous indignation of her
sisters In servitudc against a frivolity
so ounattainable, but greater still, perhaps,
was the curiosity to discover how the
accomplishment of such frivolity could
be obtained. AT length it was dis
covered that the red threads woven
among the blue shirts which she had to
sew would, when drawn out and chewcd,
yield the bloom ycarned after by the
check of the beauty. The manner In
which nearly every woman finds 1t pos
sible to disarrange and double one of
her underskirts and present the fascina-
tions of crinolette is so comic that II
has been known to wiring smile from
that gravest among men--a prison chap
lain. And a woman without n looking
glass! Only the austcrest and severest
orders of nuns renounce that. And per-
hsps it is the female prisoners most
oppressive penance, for the relief Of
which she Is even willing to risk the
imposition of extra punishment-a task
the more, a meal the less. BY an accident
which she declares she will regret for a
lifetime, she has broken q window. The
hole Is there, sure enough; but where is
the detached glass. Days after this 1t is
found concealed in corner Of her cell
and behind it a strip of dark cloth, her
substitute for quicksilver. And all for
what? There are no male hearts to
break and few male eyes to see-only
those Of governor. chaplain and doctor.

steel Raiis IN the United States.
iGnlanliAa II

The productive capacity of the steel
rail mills of tho United Stntes is about
1,0O0,0c0 tons per annum. About 800 0O0
tons went into new lines last year, aud
tho amount used rs renewals, new second
tons. or6.42 per cent of the total amount
of rails in truck. This rate is equivalent
to renewal OF the lines once In 1874
years. Al the end of 1888 q little more
than half the track of tho United States
was iron. The consumption of rails for
maintenance ran down from, 1870 per
cent In 1872. when steel rails were first
used. TO 500 per cont III 1877 then rose
ccded again TO sac per cent In 1854 The

Whin you was out lady called,
A lady foinc and fair
With swate blue lips and purity mouth,
And lovely banged up hair.
And whin she asked ef you was In,
Says i, mo, mum, she's not;
But Of you'll lave yer card wild me,

"Oh, niyer moind," says she. 'I came

And curtsied down so low,
That whin the princess left the door,
lniver saw her go.
But gettin' quick me sinses back,

A Tragedy.
John Boyle O'Reilly.l

A soft-breasted bird from the sea
Fell in love with lighthouse flame;
And II wheeled round the tower on its
ARREST wing,
And tioated and cried like IA lovelorn
thing;
1t broodcd all day and 1t futtered all
night,
But could win no look from the stead.
fast light.
For the flame had its heart afnr--
Afar with tho ships at sea; ..-y
1t was thinking of children and waiting
wives
And darkness and danger to sailors lives;
But the bird had its tender bosom
pressed
On the glass, where at last 1t dashed Its
breast.
The light only tlckered, the brighter to
glow;
But the bird lay dead on the rocks

PROTECTING IRON.
A Coating That Ia Gaining Favor In
- Germany.
lScientiilc Americana

.... SCrmany.
lscientiic American.l
The Bower-Barf process for protect.
ing iron from rust, by covering it with
skin of magnetic oxide of iron, appears
to be gaining steadily In favor In Ger
many. 1t Is not infrequently mentioned
In German technical Journals, and al
ways with approval. Recently at a
meeting Of . branch of the German En-
gineers' Society, at Hanover, paper
was read by one ofthe members, in which
he strongly recommended the proc
ess to engineers and architects. Speak
ing OF the fine blue.gray colol OF the coat
ing formed, he said that this was always
tho surface OF the articles oper-
ated upon. The coating ad-
heres very strongly to the metal, but
still not so strongly as to allow of work
ing iron so coated beyond a very limited
extent Thus wirc can not be bent with.
out cracking OIL the oxide formed on IT,
Ihereiore all articles to be protected
should be finished before the oxidation
takes place. AS regards the strength of
iron treated by the process, the results OF
experiments go to prove that wrought
iron does not In any way suiier by The
oxidation, and that cast iron gains IN
strength inasmuch as the outer surface
Is to a considerable extent changed, and
made like malleable cast iron, gaining
In toughness.
There Is a gain In weight of about one
half OF one per cent, owing to the oxida-
tion, and scarcely perceptible increase
OF volume. The protection is very per-
feet, as has been proved by burying test
pieces one year In the ground In very
damp and uniavornble places. The
coating Is liable to have it's appearance
injured by handling, and for objects
where this Is u matter of importance, it
is better to brush the surface over with
grease or wax, which is absorbed into
tho oxide and remains in II, permanently
protecting IT, Another property of
objects coated with tho oxide Is
specially pointed out as of great value
for sonle purposes, especially Tor objects
OF art. The oxide coat easily takes
enamel, silvering gliding, or platinizing.
The enamel, or the solution, can he put
on direct upon the oxide, and then after
firing adhcres perfectly and has not the
tendency to crack oil, as in the case of
its application to the bare iron. Then a
coating of bronze or other metal can be
given to objects in the simplest manner
BY brushing them over with brush
made of the metal in question. So much
OF the metal pcnetrates tho oxide coat
ing that the result is perfectly perma-
nent.

THE GOvERNOR'S MESSAGE.
Some of the Measures That 1t Will
Probably Advocate,

Governor-slect Ferry left for Seattle
Friday to complete his inaugural ad-
dress and message. The former will
occupy but twenty-five minutes In its
delivery, and the latter about thirty five
minutes. Governor Ferry calculates
islaturc about the Goth. AS IL will be
tho first message under the state form of
government, there IS much curiosity to
know what it will embody. 1t is expected
that he will advise the legislature to pass
laws having a bea ring oil the following
subjects:
The manner and in what courts suits
against the state may be instituted.
Providing for the prosecution and
punishment of persons attempting to
corrupt mem bcrs OF the legislature and
state and municipal officers.
Establishing II bureau of statistics, sg.
riculture and immigration.
For the protection of employees Of fac
tories and mines dangerous to life or
health.
Regulating the pardoning power of the
governor.
Prescribing the jurisdiction and pow
ers of inferior courts.
For the publication Of opinions of the
supreme court.
Providing system of voting which
shall secure secrecy in preparing and de-
posting ballots.
For uniform assessment and taxa
tion law.
For n general and uniform system of
public schools.
For an organization of state national
guard.
To establish a system of county gov
ernment.
Establishing maximum rates of
charges for the transportation of passen-
gers and freight.
Prohibiting the issuance by railroad
companies OF free passes or the sale of
tickets at a discount.
To submit to the people the question
ofpcrmanence of the state capital.
TO provide for the appointment of
harbor commission.
Establishing state board of health to
regulate the practice of medicine and

AN ANGRY POPULACE.
Exciting Scenes mt the Examinat
ton of Russell, Young
Canty's Murderer.
Release on Bail Would Have
Meant Instant Death
by a Mob.

G. NJ. Stcarns of Pennington in
forms the REVIEW thnt the feeling
against William Russell, the MUIR
der of young Daniel Canty, Is very
bitter In ana around Tarlnington,
and that the citizens In that vicinity
will zee to IL that full justice is
meted out to him. On the occasion
of Russell's preliminary eXamina-
tion ut COlfaa about 100 citizens
went over from the vicinity Of
Pennington to see that he was not
admitted to bull. A number OF them
took Henry Sullivan, one of his at
torneys, aside, and told him that he
had better let Russell stay In jail.
Mr.. Sullivan informed them that hel
would allow the Justice to tiX the
bail high enough to hold him-S30OO
or $4,000.
One of the leaders then said: "It
don't make any difference If the
bull Is fixed at half II million, and
just as sure AZ he Is admitted to bail
In any sum we will riddle him with
bullets In the courtroom"
The scene I'm the courtroom dur
ing the preliminary hearing was
very exciting. Pistols were noticed
sticking out of pockets all over the
house.
In the course of his remarks to the
court Attorney sullivan made the
statement that The shooting was ac-
cldental. "lake that backW came
the demand from twenty throats,
and Mr.. Sullivan did. Russell's
father and brother, who were pres
ent, fled from the room, thinking
the crisis had arrived.
Russell was, of course, committed
without bail, and after the Farming
ton people had exacted from Sheriff
Mclean u promise that he would
not take the prisoner to Walla Walla
and that he would let them know II
the sheriff of that county came afteth
him they returned home satisfied.
But when sheriff Mcfarland OF
Walla Walla came after Russell with
an order from Judge I.angford Sher-
If Mclean neglected to let the
Pennington people know it until
few moments before the train pulled
out with the prisoner on board, and
1t was then, of course, too late for
them to take action. They intended
to take Russell to Pennington for
safe keeping in case it was found
necessary to remove him anywhere.
An effort Is now being made to
get change of venue, but the Farm
ington people say they will not per-
NIT anything of the kind. When
court convenes at Colfax they will
be on hand 200 strong, instead of 100
as before, and they will see that the
murderer receives punishment COM
mensurate to his crime.
