Yesterday for the second time since
coming here, I preached at the prison
Familiarity known as ''The Bride
we'll" It is a large stone structure,
and on the west side Of Chicago, near
the terminus of the Blue Island Ave
nue. car line.
The scenes there are about as can
be seen at any prison. There are now
about seven hundred prisoners in the
jail. Their ages range from ten to
sixty years. The per cent of women
is very small. The crimes for which
they are committed are mostly petty.
About four hundred attended service
in the chapel yesterday. Most of
them were hard looking specimens of
humanity. Indeed, It is a hard rub
on humanity to call some of them
human. Others looked as if they
were sadly out Of place, and their
pleading looks as their faces were
eagerly upturned to mine, made my
heart ache As we talked to them Of
the possibilities of a better life many
wept as If their hearts would break.
some began to weep as soon as they
heard the old songs they had heard
in brighter days.
Instinctively the question arose IN
my mind, why is this multitude Of
men and women here?'
In answer to this question pro
pounded to the assistant superintend-
ent, Mr.. Jones, he informed me that
at least nine ont Of every ten are there
directly through liquor.
This means that if there were no
saloons, instead of seven hundred
| prisoners disgraced for life, there
would be seventy.
/ Chicago is a high licensed city.
These men and women drank the
liquor that fred their blood, by author
ity of the city council, and then the
city council gave them ninety days
for it! The council which gave the
saloon keeper the authority to sell the
liquor which put the poor creatures
in the Bridewell is responsible
We have no fight to make with the
saloon keeper, he is just as good as
the saloon he keeps. Our fight il
with the law behind the saloon.
Here is one case of many. ooh

A Blow at the sugar Trust

The supreme court Of the State of
New York has prcked the huge bub-
bic of the sugar trust, and that coIos-
sal aggregation of capital for the
spohation of consumers will shortly
pass away, leaving a host OF bank
rupted stockholders to mourn is mem
DRY.
Mr.. Claus Speckels has enjoyed
greatly the opportunity afforded him
by the existence of this trust, to boast
of the manner in which he, single
handed and alone, was going to force
it to the wall. AS yet, however, his
promises have led to no performance
and the price of sugar has gone stead
lily upward, until to the poor it has
become a serious burden.
The decision of the New York court,
however, declares the association Of
the refneries to be a combination for
the restraint of trade and the artificial
increase of the price Of a necessity of
life and therefore a criminal enter
prise under the laws Of New York.
Against so sweeping an Indictment,
affirmed by the highest court In the
State from which most of the assOcia-
ted refnerles receive their charters
