" HIS LITTLE GAL"

Well, sir, seeing as ye mintion it, ]
don't mind if does try er drop o. sumot
'ot. It's very comfurting to the innerds,
partickler of n cold night"
This was in answer to my proposal to
old Jim Benton, stage doorkeeper of Ast-
ley's Royal amphitheatre, London. The
manager was particular friend of mine.
so that had the entree to all parts of the
theatre, and came and went as l wished

relate many good story Of dead and gone
actors and their next of kin, heroes Of the
sawdust. am an occasional contributor
to the newspapers, and / would like here
to say that have been indebted to jim
Benton for many an odd bit of pathos and
humor. Poor old fellow It is already ten
years and more since l followed him to his
last resting place, and the stage door of
Astleys Royal amphitheatre knows me
no more. This night Jim was unusually
talkative.
"Lor' bless yer, sir" said he, as he
raised his glass of gin and water to his
lips, Il pities them teetotaleers does. /
cum ermost er jining on EN- onct, but
Providence wuz agin it. No, sir, yer.
This last was addressed to a gentleman il

his card at the door, asking to see Miss
Morrelh, the principal danseuse.
"Ah, perhaps you are acquainted with
my aliasr here added the exquisite.
"Carn't say as l ham, sir. It's not to
be hexpected could remember all the
gals names. Yer see, we takes on er lot

AS the swell withdrew old Jim eontin-
ued with:
"Lor, sir, II / was to pass hall as was

On my replying that had never had
that pleasure he continued with:
Well, sir, there'n never be another |
Ida Fay. There's lots O gals wot's tried |
It on, but 1t don't work. Yer see. there

criminal, after having been twice con-
victed and imprisoned, is regarded as an
habitual offender and is confined for life,
except that after a stipulated term the
board Of managers Of the prison have the
discretion of allowing him to 60 outside
the enclosure on parole, though he still
remains in legal custody and is always
liable to be taken back summarily. In
other words, the incorrigible or profess
sional criminal is treated as if he were
iunatie, and only permitted to go abroad
after long and apparently successful
treatment, with the certainty of an i'm
mediate return to confinement if he shows
his unfitness for freedom.
That is the method approved and re
commended by the penologists in session
at Boston, and common sense is on its
side. There ought not to be such a
character as a professional criminal out
side of prison walls, and yet New York is
full Of them Detectives can take you
around to their resorts and point them
out to you, perhaps nodding to them as
old acquaintances as they pass by. Mean
while society is put to a vast expense to
guard itself against the depredations of
these outlaws. Yet it treats thems as
if they were engaged in a warfare so far

ished when their tactics are inferior to
those Of the police the army which it
maintains to fight with them.
That seems to be a very stupid way of
dealing with crime After capturing
criminals at great expense of money and
ingenuity, we hold them for brief Pc
riod, and then turn them loose to go on
in their spoliatiOn and violence and to
propagate their own kind, until they are
again caught, when the process is re-
peated at intervals throughout theirlives.
The only true way is to capture them
once for all and hold them fast thereafter
as incorrigible enemies Of society. And in
their captivity they may be made to do
honest work with the hands which in
their freedom they put to criminal use
only. A prison is the proper place for

"I always buy the Lilly put up by the

"Why do you prefer the Lilly hams ?'
because they are swee-er, and are
smoked in this city. All hams not
branded the Lilly are smoked either at
San Francisco or in the Eastern cities,
and you cannot tell how long they have
been smoked before shipping, and then
they are from ten to fifteen days on the

New Cases.
Louis Phillips has brought suit against
W. Harris Il Co., the California Central
Railroad Company, the Earl Fruit Com
pany and F. L. Ries, alleging that the
Gefe ldants Harris leased of the plaintiff
the portions of the Phillips block fronting
60 feet on Spring street and 120 on Frank
lin, for $3.50 per month, it being
expressly covenanted in said lease
that the defendants Harris
should not let or sub-let or make any
alteration in the premises without the
written consent of the plaintiff. The de-
PENDANTS having broken this condition in
several instances, plaintiff claims that
the lease has terminated and he asks
that possession of the premises be given
him, the lease declared forfeited and
damages allowed to him on account of
the premises having been withheld from
him since the first of January, when he
demanded possession.
