ROTTEN STATE OF AFFAIRS.
Damaging Charges Made Against
the Penitentiary Authorities.

Damag ing Charges Made Against
the Penitentiary Authorities.
Charges of a most sweeping and dam
aging character have been publicly
made against the management of the
state penitentiary. Warden Randall
is accused of allowing the most danger
Gus and notorious criminals confined in
tine prison TO roam the streets Of Still
water unrestricted. Sworn statements
have been made by two residents of
Saltwater, named Charles HawS and
Dennis Crotty, setting forth that they
have seeh the notorious Ole Nortrone,
who is serving life sentence for muir
dering his father, fishing in the vicinity
daylight orgies with a disreputa-
BILE woman of the town. Crotty
swears that he has frequently seen
Nortrone walking about outside the
jail. and Ii. FL. Rose and George Wash
ington (the latter colored), both life con-
victs, do about as they please. being
given perfect liberty by the Jail author
tiles. BY the unrestricted liberty given
him, Nortrone was actually enabled to
steal $500 worth of brass and iron from
the Minnesota Thresher company, and
proof is adduced that he sold
the same to Moses Burnstein.
1t is also charged that Cole Younger, of
the notorious band of cuthroafs who
waded In blood at Mortified, is
the possessor of pass signed by War
den Randall. which entities him to pass
the guards and roam the streets of Still
water as ne chooses. Most of the con
victs who are said TO be thus favored by
the warden are life termerS, and the most
desperate men ever sept TO Jail for dia-
bolical crimes.

A Physical Wreck.

Edward McFaul, the opium fiend

the city hospital recently was described

Sunday. He was incapable of looking
after himself, and when brought into
the central station he presented an if
possible more pite0us spectacle than
ever. During the night McFauFs ner-

necessary to send out for cocaine to quiet

> UNDER THE ELECTRIC.

A Laborer's Horrible Accident,
Due to an Electric Car.
Martin Kospeshok. a .laborer residing
near Lexington avenue, was terribly in
iured yesterday afternoon, being run
over by an electric car at the corner of
Lexington aud Grand avenues. Kos
peshok was returning from work on the
car, and states that when nearing Lex
ington he requested the conductor to
stop the car. This he failed to do, and
the passenger jumped while the car
was in motion, falling under the wheels.
The heavy train passed over Kospe-
shok's foot, breaking all the bones and
crushing the member into shapeless
mass. The injured man was at once
taken to the city hospital, where the
foot was amputated by DIR. Anchor.
Kospeshok is twenty-eight years old and
a iaboriug man. At late hour last
night he was resting as easily as could
be expected. but the shock 10 the nerv-
Gus system has been SO great that a
fatal result is feared.

AN INTELLECTUAL FEAST
Spread Before the Century Club
by Locke Richardson.

Spread Before the Century Club
by Locke Richardson.
The members of the New Century
club and their guests enjoyed, last even
ing, at the Peoples church, one of the
greatest of intellectual feasts that it is
possible to enjoy in these days of pro-
found art aud marked talent. Locke
Richardson, the famous Shakespearean
reader. held for two hours, as if spell
bound, the audience which was fort
innate enough to be present to hear the
recital of Dickens christmas Carol"
The various characters drawn by the
great master were delineated to the
life. The story of grasping, greedy
Scrooge was told in manner which
brought out all the repaIsivc traits Of
the selfish man. The pictures of the
visions seen by ScrO0ge, were painted
by the reader SO wildly that it seemed
that each character mentioned lived for
the time. The audience laughed long
and loud when the ball at Fezziwig's,
and the humble Christmas dinner of
Bob Cratchit we're described, and in an
instant the scene was changed by
the skill of MIR. Richardson. who,
III describing the death of Tiny Tim,
threw realism of pathOs into the
scene which mOued every person pres
ent to tears. The changes of voice and
dialect. the transition from grave to
gay, were accomplished in so artistic a
manner that Mr.. Richardson can GER
tainiy be stamped as the greatest
reader and elocutionist in the world.
He has just returned from a tour
around the world, and his readings have
won for him a lasting fame. rnack
cray, who heard Mr., Richardson read
the .sChristmaS Carof' one Christmas
day in Edward Everett Hale's church,
in Boston, declared with the eminent
preacher that it was s'the grandeSt char
ity sermon ever preached, national
benefit, and to every man or woman
who reads it a personal kindness"
After the recital. which as a feat of
memorizing was truly remarkable. MIR.
Richardson received the congratula-
lions of the members of the club. who
flocked around him, eager to sing his
praise. Among those present were:
Rev. Rotert Smith. d. D., and Mrs. Smith,
Mr.. and Mrs. John A. Jackson, Mr.. and Mrs.

The ORDER OF THE TALL HAT.
A Strange Custom That Prevails I'm Certain
African villages.

Z. J. Glave, in ST. Nicholas.
There is an institution among central
African people which cannot be more cor
rectly described than by terming it the
Order of the Tall Hat. There is in each
district chief who has proved by his war
like success that he, of all the chiefs. is the
most powerful A public acknowledgment
is made of this fact, and the elected lndi-
vidua1 is carried around on mems shoulders
through the different villages, the bearers
proclaiming to all that he is the Mokunle
Monene ibig chief, and that IN future all
tribal disputes are to be submitted TO his
judgment. Upon his return to the village,
amidst dancing. and singing. and general
feasting and joy. the fetishman, or cnarm
doctor places on the chiefs head tall
hat, resembling the 'stove-pipe" of civil
lied countries, but which is built with
brim at the crown, and not at the base.
This hat is hereafter worn on all great Oc-
casions, and the wearer retains 1t until his
death, when new candidate is elected. In
times gone by. lbaka had received the hon.
or of election TO this proud order. but, un-
fortunately, during the trouble with
Liebrechts the towering emblem of peculiar
distinction was burned. A sympathizing
white man, travelling through the country,
heard of the old chiefs hatless condition,
and presented him with q red opera hat of
exaggerated construction, which had prob
ably IN years past formed prominent feat
ure In pantOmime or burleeque, or had
been used with great effect by some comic
singer or wandering minstrel.
The possession of this truly wonderful
creation of the theatrical costumer. made
lbaka proud and happy man. Hisdelight
in his new decoration would have been un-
alloyed were it not for a haunting fear
that some one might steal it. He kept 1t,
when not in use. in our station-house. and
called for it only on stated occasions. and
big, public drinking bouts. | insisted on
his continual care of this valuable acquisi-
ton; and would place it on the side of his
head for him. and impress upon him the ne
cessity of wearing it in that position. as we
white men were very particular about such
details. Old Ibaka was intensely superstl-
tious, and was constantly with the fetish
man. who was kept busy manufacturing &
new charms TO protect him against imag-
mary evils. The poor old chief was easily
| gulled, and would accept from anybody
anything that had the resemblace of q
charm

AMERICAN WOMEN.
No Good Reason Why They Should Be
Grateful for Polite Attentions.


No Good Reason Why They Should Be
Grateful for Polite Attentions.
Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
Foreigners are puzzled at the relations
of the sexes in the United States. Even so
acute and liberal-minded an observer as
Max O'Rell, in describing the attitude of
men and women toward one another in
Germany. France. England and the United
States, and the latitude given the sex in
sscountry, observes: "Men show the
women all sorts of attentions in the United
States, but have failed to find the slight
est trace of gratitude for these attentions"
That word gratitude in this connection
strikes harshly on an American ear. Our
people like our woman to be free-spirited.
1t makes a race of free spirited men. The
Germanic tribes who overthrew dissolute
Rome honored their women. The chivalry
of our men under our institutions speaks
volumes for the institutions themselves.
A woman who behaves herself need
fear no insult in this land
1t is not gratitude our women give
in return for Difference, but companlonship,
sympathy, courageous cOnstancy. They
do not wear the air and mien of slaves, and
long may 1t be ere they do on this soil The
love which is so freely given American
mothers. and wives. and sisters rests on
good solid foundation. If it were not de-
served it would not be given. Foreigners
may wonder, but there is no wonder here.
1t is as natural here to pay regard to our
women as it is to value any attribute of en-
lightened manhood. True liberty is the
nursery Of generous affection Snd the purest
morals.

classes-the people who can find four-leafed
clover and those who cannot. The Listener
belongs naturally TO the cannot club, but
last summer he was introduced to certain
grassy and half-shady bank in Roxbury,
where he simply had to find 1t, it was so
abundant. The bank really seemed to be
oyergrown with it. There are many people
who are able to find four-leafed clover al
most anywhere, but none who are able 70
tell what it is for. Garden and Forest
prints 3 queer story of Mahometan tradi-
ton to account for its existence. According
TO this legend, Eve picked sprig of clover
from the Garden of Eden. to keep as q
souvenir, as she was being driven out. We
are to infer that all the clover in Paradise
was four-leafed, and that there was no
clover anywhere else. But as the angel
pursued Eve, he happened to touch her
clover-sprig with his cruel sword. and its
leaves were scattered. One of them fell
within the garden. but the others were
blown outside; ard from them sprang the
three-leafed clover that the world has since
possessed. This accounts for the rarity of
the four-leafed kind, and the good luck that
attends it, for, though it sometimes springs
up as q sort of reminiscence of Paradise. 1t
is exceedingly rare. Perhaps this account
of the matter is as good as any.

CHAMPIONS OF DARKNESS.
Contemplate Action of New York Papers II
Advising Resistance to the Census.


Advising Resistance to the Census
Philadelphia Press.
We doubt if more despicable battle for
selfish prejudice and blank ignorance has
been made in this country than has been
carried on during the last month by three
leading New York papers.
A census is n national necessity. If it
ever comes before the supreme Court we
do not doubt that it will be promptly sus-
tanned, wherever it extends beyond the
bare constitutional enumeration, as an in
cident of national sovereignty, just as q
national bank and the annexation of terri
tory and a score of other unenumerated
powers have been. If laws are to be wisely
passed and the general welfare promoted
by wide-reaching reform, public and pri-
vate, it can only be done in the light given
by q census full. complete and accurate.
This Is primer truth N political science.
We doubt if there Is g. single educated
trained observer and student of pnblc
affairs and social progress who does not
privately believe in the wisdom and the
worth of such census. Yet for month
past a deliberate attempt has been made to
stir up the ignorant and ignoble prejudice
which always exists against any of the
questions OF census In order to make the
taking of an adequate census difficult
This has been done without the smallest
regard to the public needs of a census.
Prejudice, selfishness. and the whole array
of lesser. meaner and more ignOble motives
which lead men to resist any attempt to
trouble themselves for the public good,
have been assiduously marshaled-with
what success remains to be seen.
We are not surprised, as we see this ap-
peal and the motives on which it was based,
that New York is the worst governed city
in the country, the most selfish and most
destitute of public spirit. In all this New
York does not represent the country, and
we feel sure there will elsewhere be a
strong desire and determination to aid this
great national undertaking by every means
in the power of every citizen. and we con-
gratuiate the Superintendent of the Gen.
sus, Mr.. Porter, on reaching the opening of
his great task of enumeration with his vast
machine better organized than any Of his
predecessors.

Thousands Supplied Where Only q Few
Hundred Are Needed.


Century for June.
During the past few years from $500 to
1900 manuscripts were annually submitted
the Century Magazine for publication.
This is an increase over previous years.
and does not include the hundreds. per-
haps thousands of propositions submitted
anincrease in the number of periodicals
published in America of late years, and as
the newspapers are publishing more contri-
buttons than ever by writer's not on the
regular staff. it is evident that there has
been an increase in literary activity. at
least in proportion to the increase In popu-
lation.
Now. out of nine thousand manuscripts
year the Century can only possibly print
four hundred OF less. 1t follows that edit
ing u magazine is not unlike walking into
q garden of flowers and gathering single
bouquet. In other words, not TO accept an
article, story, poem, is not necessarily
to reject il. There may be w eeds in the
garden-there must be weeds in the gar
den-but the fact that particular
ly bouquet does not prove that
the editor regarded the blossom as a
weed, and. therefore, passed it by. 1t
would be impossible to sweep all the flow
ers into a single handful. The rejected" OF
declined" are naturally prone to gibe at
sympathetic or apolOgetic words from edj-
torial sources, so we present the above SIM
lie with considerable diffidence. There is
truth in it. nevertheless. And it would
probably be much easier for editors to
make up a number of bouquets from the
flowers at their disposal than to gather the
single one for which alone they have room
