Young Men in History.

For the encouragement of young men
who think they can do nothing, an exchange
has taken the trouble to compile few sta.
tistics which will be interesting to them.
Alexander was 33 years when he died, after
having conquered the whole world. Han
nibal was 29 when he led his army across
the Alps into Italy. Napoleon had won
the victories which established his fame
as the greatest living master of the science
of war before he was 80.
Washington was % when he was made
commander of all the forces of Virginia,
and was still a young man when the Ameri-
can revolution broke out. William Pitt
was first minister of England at "a.
Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he wrote
the Declaration of Independence. James
Madison was sc when he became the
Father of the Constitution"
Alexander Hamilton was only 80 when
he wrote the larger part of the ''Federalist,"
which John Fiske calls 1.-The most author
itative commentary on the constitution that
can be found" Goethe's Sorrows of
Werther," the parent of much that is best,
as well as worst in the literature of our
day, was written when he was 25. ByrOn'S
first cantO of "Childe Harold" which placed
him at once among the most famous poets
of England, was written at 81.
Ruskin was % when he wrote the first
volume of Modern Painters" Edison is
still a young man, and Stanley had found
Livingstone and made his memorable jour-
ney across Africa before he was 35.

The Criminal.

The work of Mr.. HavelOck Ellis owes it's
origin to the rather remarkable fact that
two branches of investigation which ought
to be pursued together, the scientific and
practical, have, in the case of his subject,
been kept widely and unreasOnably sepa-
rate. The scientific study of the criminal
class has been prosecuted chiefly in Italy,
where many excellent works relating to it
have been published. of late years. by
scholars Of the first rank. In England, on
the other hand. not one important work of
that character has appeared; but the prac-
tical methods of dealing with this class of
the population have been studied and elab-
grated with singular success. Mr.. Ellis has
undertaken the task of bringing together
the results which have been achieved in
both departments. He has done his work
with much judgment and care. and has pro-
duced a book full Of interesting facts and =.
useful suggestions. The physical traits and
mental characteristics of the habitual and
the occasional criminal are minutely de-
scribed. Many striking Photographic por-
traits illustrate these descriptions, with
fidelity which is sometimes both grOtesque
and saddening. The methods of discipline
and mental improvement which have been

European and American prisons are also
described in highly interesting fashion.
1t is satisfactory to find that an American
institution, the Elmira Reformatory, seems
to lead all the rest, both in the intelligence
with which its system of training is con-
Quoted, and in actual success. For the fut-
ure of society it is not a little reasSuring to

about fifteen per cent are estimated as hav-

deed astonishing advance beyond what
seemed the almost hopeless results of the
older systems. One caution should be given.

paths which lead through morasses not to

Petition or an Aged Pioneer.

A. E. Ragsdale, an aged pioneer of the
Pacific coast, broken in health and with
out means, petitioned the city council last
evening for the privilege of erecting
q hoard front on the east side
of Second street, between James street
and Yesler avenue, for the purpose of ex-
hibiting an innocent animal show. His
petition was rejected. The old gentleman
states that he is unable to work and sought
this privilege with desire of supporting
himself The animals were collected by
himself from the wilds of Washington and
Oregon during the past three years. He is
still in hopes that the council, upon con-
sideration of the facts, will reconsider its
action of last evening and grant him this
privilege of obtaining a livelihood.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Miss Louise Peltret, Of San Francisco,
Dies Suddenly.

Miss Louise Peltret, Of San Francisco,
Dies Suddenly.
Miss Louise Peltret, an accomplished
and well-known young lady. who came to
this city from San Francisco about two
months ago to visit her brother, Mr.. Frank
A. Peltret. late of the Evening Times, was
found dead in her room at 6u9 Fifth street,
shortly before 3 O'Clock yesterday after
noon.
Miss Peltret roomed in the residence of
Mrs. e. B. Moore. at the above number,
but took her meals at Mrs. A. Halls, an
other private residence two blocks farther
south on the same street. About 3 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon Mrs. Moore started for
Miss Peltret's room to perform her usual
duty OF setting things to, rights. Upon
opening the door Mrs. Moore was surprised
by finding Miss Peltret's form yet lying in
the bed, and exclaimed: What is the
matter, Louvre? Are you sick? 2"
There was no reply. Advancing to the
bedside Mrs. Moore discovered that Miss
Peltret was dead.
ley to the room where the young lady had
slept. The physician, finding life was
wholly extinct, called in DIR. Smart. After
the opinion that the young lady came to
her death through sudden illness, and
every condition goes to show that that was
without doubt the couse. From the cir
cumstances it quite likely that the young
lady was taken suddenly i'll during the
night and died before she could rally suffi-
GENTLY to call for help.
There were no signs of a struggle or any
suffering whatever, but, on the contrary,
everything indicated that death had taken
place while the body was unconscious.
Miss Peltret was esteemed by all who
knew her. Her home was in San Fran
cisco, whence she came to Seattle about
two months ago to visit her brother, then
associate editor of the Erening Times. Miss
Peltret was a young lady of fine literary
attainments.
She was one of q family of nine children
and was % years old. Both OF her parents
are dead, and the other children live with
relatives at 637 Guerreo street, San Fran
cisco, whittier Frank, the brother, went
about two weeks ago.
Coroner Smart last evening wired INTEL
Egence of Miss Peltret's death to the
brother at San Francisco. The body has
been placed in charge of Bonney & Stew
art and will remain at the room on Fifth
street until word is received from the
brother.
The remains will probably be embalmed
and shipped to California for interment.-

Going to Australia.
SAN Francisco, July ia farewell
party was rendered Peter Jackson and his
trainer, Sam Fitzpatrick, last evening at
his training quarters on the San Leandro
road. About forty of the pugilist's friends

handsome souvenir of light blue silk,
upon which was inscribed the names of
those present. In accepting the gift he
said he would leave California next Satur-

had been treated on this Coast with the
greatest consideration and kindness.
