TIE RAZOR AND KICK.

Lewis made rush for Bragg, but was
seized and firmly held by MIR. Smith. who
tried to prevent any difficulty. Bragg was
standing with his back against the wall;
and while be held the razor IN his hand
did not attempt to use it. Lewis. in his
struggle to get to him. got near enough to
give Bragg powerful kick IN the groin,
which not only rendered the latter help
less but caused him such intense suffering
that he had to be carried home IN 2
hack. The matter was not considered
of such importance as to be brought
TO the attention of the police. and was not
much thought of until Bragg died. "A
post Doorien was held yesterday afternoon
which developed the fact that Bragg $
bladder had been ruptured as result OF
the kick, and Of course death resulted.
The Jury rendered verdict in accordance
with these facts. and Lewis will be prose-
cuted If he is ever arrested. Lewis is
man of powerful build, weighing fully two
hundred pounds. He has left the city and
the police have no traces of his where

Five Gents.
Concerning Lodging Houses.

The MIRROR informed lis that fifty men
would be discharged on expiration of SEN
tence inside of three monthe. Taking it
for granted that some of these men are
without friends and home to 90 to- the
following is submitted.
When you find yourself in the outside
world there is one thing that you will have
to select. and that is home--a place to
sleep, a place to eat. While here in prison
these things are provided for you. but then
most important matter is left to you. one
SD important that it will prove to be con-
siderable factor in deciding your future life.
Whether you will seek the society of the
wise and good or whether you will seek
the society of the vulgar and bad whose
company will help to start you on the old
life Of vice and crime. must be left for you
to decide. Remember that wherever your
inclinatiOns may lead you. your surround
ings and the acquantances you may make.
will either have tendency to sustain or
undermine the resolutions of we'll doing
made VIII lie i'm prison.
1t is conceded that the majority of the
men who leave here go to one of the larger
cities and the great IN stake with many is
that they are very careless in selecting
place of abode. With the little money they
have at their command. and trying to prac-
ttce the virtue of economy. they seek a
home among the lowest because they are
the cheapest lodging houses. Those places
are frequented by the worst characters In
the city. In them may be found the once
prosperous banker whom adversely has
blOoght down to mingle with the scum of
humanity: the broken down pol tician; the
bOOkkeeper and the clerk who have lost
their positions by dishonest acts. All Of
these are daily sinking in the murky waters
of degradation. The gambler and the
gentleman loafer, and in fact. nearly every
calling on the calendar is represented by the
patrons of these places. They are under
police surveillance and it is a we'll known
fact that in the larger cities the lodging
house is the recruiting Office for the class
who help to swell the population of tho
wOrkhOuse and Jail. The main reason why
such places are not suppressed is, it is part
of the police policy to leave few such
places where they can lay their hands on
man at any time. rather than scatter them
indiScriminately over the city.
Avoid these contaminated houses, for you
don't know who yOu will meet in them,
and if there is any place where you are liza
bic to meet one of your former associates
in crime it is in one of the many lodging
houses to be found in the large cites at the
present time. who will be ready with plaus-
ible stories to lure you back to the old life OF
debaucehry and crime. SERENO.

For The Mirror.
THE HELPING HAND.

On the lowest round of the ladder
firmly planted my feet.
And looked up at the dim. vast distance
That made my future so sweet.
1 climbed till my heart grew weary,
climbed till my brain was on fire;
planted each footstep with wisdom,
Yet never seemed to get higher.
For this round was glazed with Indifference.
And that one was gilded with scorn,
And when grasped firmly another,
found under velvet thorn.
And just when my hands were unclasping
Their hold on the st gained round,
And my hopes coming back from the future.
Were sinking again to the ground,
One who had climbed near to the summit
Reached backward helping hand
And refreshed, encouraged and strengthed
took once again my stand.
And wish, oh. I wish that the climbers
Would never forget as they go.
That though weary may seem their climbing
There is always some one below.

"Crimes Against Criminals,

''Is there any remedy? Can anything
be done for the reformation of the criminal?
He should be treated with kindness Every
right should be given him consistent with
the safety of society. He should neither be
degraded nor robbed. The state should set
the highest and nobest example. The
powerful should never be cruel. and in the
breast of the supreme there should be no
desire for revenge"
The above is paragraph from the ex-
celIent address on Grimes Against Grim
inals" by Col. X. G. Ingersoll, delivered
before the State Bar Association of New
York at Albany, Jan. 21st. The gallant
and learned Colonel. as every one knows,
is an agnostic-and he has given his reasons
why-but venture to say that there is not
an individual who has read the address re-
ferred to but will agree with me, that taken
as whole or as part it breathes sentiments
of charity and love that would grace,
brighten up and cast halo of glory around
many sO-called Christian pulpits. The
reformation of the criminal is a subject that
has occupied the minds of our law makers
and other thinking men time and time
again, but in this respect. am sorry to
say, some are too prone to be guided by the
opinions of those paid state officials who
claim as life long duty the development
OF how swifter and better to add new tor
lures and degradation to the unfortunate
individual who may have fallen into the
mesheS OF the law. Now let me take brief
view of how the reformation of the criminal
is carried out in this state of Minnesota
The state law has it that a convict during
the term of his imprisonment shall receive
for his labor the sum OF from to 12 cents
per day according to worth; such sum- if so
required. to be applied to the maintenance
of his family; and that at the expiration of
his imprisonment he receive sum of not
less than SIS.
Think of it you thrifty hOusewives-S
cents day to feed and clothe a family.
while the bread Garner is putting, by his
enforced labor. 81 or more per day into the
Golfers OF the state or contractor. How is
this carrying out the idea of the whole
SOned Colonel who says the convict .'shOuld
neither be degraded nor robbed" Come

young man coming down the graveled
walk of the prison yard. Who is he? He is
all ex convict; he has just served a term of
five years for stealing few dollars per-
chance to feed his wife and starving little
ones. At the time of his trial the tempting
bate of a plea in lesser degree was offered
him. but because he would not brand him
self as criminal. the full power of the law
was turned upon him; the day of his lib.
erty has just dawned, the prison gates have
closed behind him; he is dressed in

BURIED FORESTS.

a tract of about two acres of
marsh land in the town of Onconta.
known as Westcott's swamp, is be-
ing ditched for draining purposes,
and the work unearths some remark
able processes of nature.
The marsh is underlain by an i'm
pervious stratum of blue clay.
Above this are found evidences Of
three successive and distinct eras of
forest growths, the trunks of the
trees and larger shrubs lying pros
trate and remaining in good state
of preservation.
The bottom layer is of dcciduous
trees that grow only on uplands,
such as beech, oak and maple. The
second layer is of soft swamp woods
alder, Eastwood, dogwood and the
like. The upper layer is of confer
Gus trees-pine, hemlock and spruce.
The last-namcd sunkcn forest is
covered with five-foot deep layer
of decayed vegetable matter, prin-
cipauy swamp rushes and moses
and leaves. The puzzle to the ma
turalist is the finding of upland trees
at the bottom of the marsh, with
abundant specimens of bark, beech
nuts and leaves in q good state of
preservation.
Another wonder in connection
with the excavations is the finding
at 4 point five feet below the surface
and among the trunks of the conf
ferrous trees of q fiat stone about five
feet square which had been utilized
as fireplace. The blackened stone,
the pieces of charcoal and of charred
sticks, and the bits of what seem tc
be bones in the last stages of decay
indicate that long ago somebody
cooked his food there.-[New York

THE SUNDAY PAPER.

The Rev. Henry A. Adams, the

in speech the other evening at
dinner of the Buffalo Press Club,
took rational and commonsense
ground in regard to Sunday news
papers.

said, "the press speaks on the right
side. AS to Sunday newspapers,
the sooner the Christian world re-
cognizes that the Sunday paper has
come to stay, and that it breaches

hear us preach, the better for the

cause is one.

the church has to-day is the press !;
it is the sharpest to detect error,
the quickest to applaud, and the

The MARSHAL'S REPLY.

Marshal Soper has communicated
to the Advertiser the following:
notice that the "National Reform
Party" have published resolutions,
wherein they state that l am EARN
ing the police and others, and call
ing them together at unreasonable
times under pretense of threatened
disturbances" and further, that
they "condemn the action of the
Marshal or others concerned as be-
ing not only hurtful to the well-being
and good repute Of this community,
but also dangerous to the general
peace"
In reply thereto would say that
some ten days or two weeks ago re-
liable information came to me that
certain persons were contemplating
action of nature similar to that Of
last July.
The information seemed to me to
warrant and require the taking of
some extra precautions to protect
the public peace.
] accordingly instructed the police
to keep an extra sharp lookout, and
requested Il few citizens, upon whose
integrity and loyalty l could rely, to
act as an extra guard at the Police
Station at night, which they did.
This has been done as quietly as
possible, with no public display, and
is all that has been done, and has, |
have reason to believe, been the
means of preventing any attempted
breach of the peace, which might
otherwise have taken place.

Marshal.
