"Crimes Against CrimiBals,O

At the annual meeting of the New York bar
association at Albany yesterday afternoon, Rob-
ert q. lngersoll in the course of an address on
''crimes against criminals" said:
Il am satisfied that the discipline of the av-
erage prison hardens and degrades. 1t is for
the most part perpetual exhibition of arbi-
cries of the convIcts are not heard beyond the
walls. Every manly feeling. every effort to-
wards real reformation is trampled under foot
80 that when the convict's time is out there is
little left on which to build. Every pentent-
larry should be a real reformatory That should
be the principal object for the establishment
of the prison. The men in charge should be of
the kindest and noblest. They should be filed
with divine enthusiasm for humanity and every
means should be taken to convince the pris-
oner that his good is sought-that nothing is
done for revenge-nothing for display of
power and nothing for the qualification of NAL
Ice. All the penalties, all the punishments are
inflicted under belief that man can do right
under all circumstances; that his conduct is abb
solutely under his control and that his will is
pilot that can, in spite of winds and tides reach
any port desired. All this is, in my judgment,
mistake. 1t is denial of the integrity of
nature. We must take into consideration the
nature OF man, the facts of mind, the power of
temptation, the limitations of the intellect the
force of habit, the result of heredity, the power
OF passion, the domination of want, the dis
eases OF the brain, the tyranny of appetite, the
cruelty Of conditions, the results OF association,
the effects of poverty and wealth. of helpless
ness and power. Until those subtle things are
understood, until we know that man, in spite
OF all, can certainly pursue the highway of the
right society should not impoverish and de-
grade, should not chain and kill those who,
after all, may be the helpless victims of I'M
known causes, that are deaf and blind

ROBERT GARRETT's CONDITION.
He Is Not Violent, But q Continued
Watch il Kept ON Him.

The condition of Robert Garrett has not inn
proved since he was taken some months ago to
Upland, his country place, near Baltimore.
Mr.. Garrett was then and il now absolutely If
responsible mentally and he needs constant and
vigilant attention. II there is any change it is
for the worse, in the fact that the longer his
malady continues the less hope there is Of his
recovery. His physical condition is satisfac-
tory. 1t is asserted positively by those who
know that it has been Mrs. CARROTS authority
which has kept her husband out of a public
asylum for the insane. His physicians have
several times advised the step, but Mrs. Garrett
has each time vetoed it.
She was afraid that the attendance there
might not be OF the best, certainly not as SYM
pathetic as he could continue to receive at
home, and she refused to permit the change.
She had abandoned her social duties almost
altogether and spends nearly her whole time
nursing her husband. Mr.. Garrett is not vio-
lent, although his humors are eccentric and
uncertain. There are times when, apparently
without cause, his pulse quickens, his eyes
flashes and he yields to a strange excitement
Then again he is as child, talks nationally and
takes an interest in his surroundings. He is
not undeI more restraint than is necessary for
his safety, and he does not resent at all the
company of his keepers who were selected on
account OF their physical strength as well as
their knowledge of nursing The slightest
allusion to anything that even remotely calls
up past associations and activities send the ex-
railroad presidents pulse off like quarter
horse,

The Psychology of Epidemics.

|
Every epidemic carries in its train curious
| exaSserations of many weil-recognized char
acteristlcs, and these frequently call for appre-
| citation and for treatment almost as much as
the disease in which they originate. Perhaps
one Of the most striking of these mental per-
versites is to be found in the idea that the cpl
demic is to be treated by common sense" or
by nostra which have been largely advertised
| or by specifics which are known to the iaity
mainly through their frequent mention in the
daily press. Those suffering under this de-
fusion feel that it is wholly unnecessary to seek
skilled assistance. and they boldly dose them
serves with remedies OF whose power and prop
critics they are absolutely ignorant. In Vienna
IT mas already been found necessary to forbid
the sale OF antipyrin, except under doctors
prescriptions, as no less than seventeen deaths
were attributed to stoppage of the hearts
action owing to overdoses. The freedom
with which the prescription of this remedy
has been assumed by the public has long since
been viewed with anxiety by the medical pro-
fession, and frequent warnings have already
fallen upon deaf ears; and yet it is to be feared
that IL the epidemic OF influenza should spread
many more examples OF recklessness will have
to be recorded. MIR. Labouchere, claiming to
act by tine light of common sense" upon hav-
ing "a cough, headache and an ali-oyer1sh
ACHE. accompanied by sneezing, diagnosed the
prevailing edidemic and at once administered
10 himself thirty grains of quinne," and to
meet the cough he took ''unlimited suuilI
pills" He writes that the one SETTLED the
fever" and the other settled the cough" and
that in four days he was quite we'll. Upon this
last fact he is certainly to be congratulated,
though We trust that others may not be i'm
PEELED, by the light of common sense" to fol-
low him in trying such heroic measures or to
emulate bis example by trying the effect Of
antipyrin in similar unlimited doses. 1t is Sc
rious enough to cope with an epidemic and its
% hnIr hnxr
by ignorant and reckless experimental thera-
peutics.

Steamships In Danger.

The Cunard line steamship Gallia, from New
York January IL. for Liverpool, arrived at
Queenstown midnight Monday, after a passage
which Capt. Murphy says was the worst he ever
had The Gallia sighted, no date given, a
large steamer at distance, apparently one of
the Johnston line plying between Liverpool
and London and Baltimore, with only one mast
remaining. She was at the mercy of the ele-
ments. As neither position, course nor date is
given the Baltimore agents. Patterson, RAM
say d Co., cannot give an idea as to which Of
their vessels it was.
The Gallia reports that on January II ire
mendous seas were shipped which flooded the
state rooms. Many of the occupants OF the
rooms were asleep at the time and the sudden
entrance of the water awoke them and caused a
panic. Five life boats we're smashed, some of
the davlts were snapped off and others were
twisted, and the steamer was much battered
generally. Her port rails and portion OF her
starboard rails were carried away.

The Cholera at Bagdad.


For several months past violent cholera cpl
demic has ragged in and around Bagdad. Herr
Somekh, head master of the school of the Is
raelite alliance in that city, describes the fright
fui state OF things there in a report to the
alliance thus: las soon as it became known
that the terrible disease was the cholera every-
pody tried to escape from the infection as
quickly as possible. The panic was indescrib-
able. Within two days two-thirds of the Jews
had left the city, fleeing at random and settling
IN the flrst village they could find. The Chris
tlans did the same, and the Mahommedans de-
spite their well-known fatalism, could not escape
the general panic and sought safety in flight,
The city presents a disconsoate aspect: the
streets are empty, one dares not venture out;
the only thing to be seen Is the endless row of
hearses. which the paid drivers accompany to
the cemetery. One sees neither tears nor other
signs of grief. Cruel. memorable death has
quenched the source of tears; the people have
lost almost all feeling. Our fellow believers
have suffered proportionately more than the
rest OF the population. Death has pur-
sued them everywhere and has ragged terribly
among them. There Is not family that has
not to lament the death of one of its members
The rich as well as the poor have been terribly
tried and many of the dead had to lie for DAYS
unburied in the fields because there was nobody
to bury them. At this moment 20. 900 Jews are
camping out In q mere desert some hours walk
from the city, scorched by a tropical sun, in
want of the means Of life, harassed by robbers.
boys and girls stolen from them. women vio-
lated-never, in short, has an already very un-
happy population suffered such misery before.
In the city the sick die for want of care and
numerous families have gone for whole DAYS
without food. The poor who no longer know
to whom to turn, have died literally of hunger. {"
This heartrending report has been completely
confirmed in answer to inquiries in the most
competent quarter, with the addition that the

fury.

A NICE SwINDLE.
Bogus Collection Agency Run In the
Name Of II. G. Dun & Co.

Half dozen young men have been carrying
on pretty little swindle in the name Of r. G..
Dun Co. The first arrest was that of Frank
G. Lesclide, who was taken into custody on
Friday, January 10. by Detectives Bond and
Murray in the corridors of the Philadelphia
post Office.
Lesclide was yesterday taken to Pittsfeld,
Mass. on requisition from Gov. Bracket on
Gov. Beaver. On his arrival there he will find
a fellow prisoner in the person Of Edward E.
Ward. the second Of the conspirators to be ar.
rested. who fell into the clutches of Fullerton
detective on Friday and Saturday of last week
in Salem, Mass.
They called themselves ''Dunn's Collecting
Agency" They spelled the name with two
ms instead of with one, as Is the case with
the legitimate branch of which they claimed to
be an otshoot. specimen Of their operations
Is shown at Pittsfeld. whittier all the members
OF the gang who can be caught will be taken to
stand trial. The operators appeared in Pitts
held some time ago. They picked out the
most close-fsted merchant in the town. To
him they went and in effect said: lyon have a
large number of bad debts on your books. You
DO not want to pay lawyer and go through
the expenses of getting judgment and finally
fail to collect your bad bills. That is our par
tlcular business. Ours is a branch of r. G..

Pennsylvania, with headquarters in Philadel-
