THEY WE'RE RECKLESS.
The Exceptional DepravIty OF remRls
Prisoners In India.

There was a separate ward In the
Jail for the female prisoners. aud
though female prisoners are usually
few in number, II generally happens
that some oil them are very bad and
unmanageable. II was not easy to de-
wise a system Of rewards or punish
ments for these women. They were
required to spin thread. or TO clean
cotton. which were probably their
ordinary ayocations In their own
homes. II they behaved well some in-
diligence could be contriyed for them,
such as to let them dress their hair no.
cording TO their own fancy. instead Of
wearing ii plain or cut short. Ii was
amusing TO see the wonderful plaits
and structures they made with their
long and thick hair. Another indulg-
ence was 10 let a woman cook her own
food, INSTEAD Of having TO take her por-
tion cooked by the mess cook. When
these indulgences had been granted.
the withdrawal Of them served as a
punishment for misbehayior. For
tunately the majority we're quiet though
guilty creatures. who had taken the
life Of child or a grown-up person in
some moment OF passion or jealousy,
but had seldom been out Of the pre-
cincts Of the zeDana.
There were. however. some who had
been bad. and had led vicious life
before they came to jail. and they gave
every possible trouble 10 the jailer and
his guards. Their command Of abusive
and vile language was incredible.
There was one who was prominently
mischievous and fractions. One day
when she aud her companions were
taken out to bathe as usual in the jail
tank "a large reservoir. about one hum
dred yards square) just outside the
Jail wall, this young lady swan out in
TO the middle OF the tank and delied
the TAILOR for hours. OF course her
bathing in the tank was stopped for a
time. but at last she proposed 10 the
jailer 10 have letters put on her leg. 80
that she could not swim II taken out TO
bathe. The jailer kindly consented 10
crafty her whim; but no sooner had
she reached the water than she struck
out boldly swimming, aud then pre-
tended TO be drowning from the weight
OF the feiters. The iailer was terrified,
and came rushing TO me for orders. l
went 10 the side OF the tank aad saw
the lady plugging about Ike n young
porpoise. and settling US all at defiance.
A tsherman's canoe was brought. aud
the woman was eventually hunted TO
the shore. not without making several
attempts TO upset tho boat A great
crowd had assembled while her per-
formance was going on. and although
she had at last to submit to capture, /

FORT WAYNE, Ind, August H. The
fifteenth annual Kriegenfest Of the
German Military societies Of America
will be held IN this citv, commencing
on the 18th inst. Six thousand Wis
itors attended the feast held last year
at Davenport, Ia, aud as Fort Wayne
is much nearer the center OF popula-
tion the attendance here will probably
be larger.
The membership is confined to men
who have served in the German army
and have come TO America with the in
tention Of making this country their
permanent home. The nature Of the
organization is military, benevolent
and social. Aliens and anarchists are
strictly excluded and sixteen members
have been expelled for refusing to take
out naturalization papers. The nation.
al president OF the general organiEa-
tion is Hartwig Shusk OF Davenport,
Ia; Rudolph Volkmann Of San Francis
co, Cal, is chief vine president; Julius
Menke OF Cleveland. secretary. and
Louis Ertel OF Cincinnati, treasurer.
One Of the most interesting matters TO
be discussed will be the location OF a
German Soldiers home. The building
will cost $4,000 which will be raised
by the society with outside help. The
city where the home Is located must
furnish twenty acres OF land. and half
a dozen cities are contesting for the
prize.

Reckless Match Strikers.

The terror of neat housekeepers is
the reckless person who strikes matches
on all sorts Of improper places. leaving
scratches on walls, doors, mantels,
furniture, or anything contiguous to
tha places where matches are kept.
The cigarette tiends are the most fire.
quent trausgressors in this respect.
They light so many matches that they
get In the habit Of striking on the first
thing that comes handy. On some Of
the ferryboats and most smoking cars
there are metal plates screwed to the
woodwork Of cOnvient access for strik-
ing matches. but the reckless match
strikers will not take the trouble to
use them. but strike on the first con-
yenient surface. The result is seen in
long, ugly marks on the woodwork,
defacing the paint and making ugly
streaks. ln many public buildings
there are also many such marks on
walls, especially 10 corners near exits,
where the match-striking demons have
left traces OF their untidiness. II makes
no difference to these needless persons
when they see n wall or a waipscot
freshly painted or newly cleaned.
With one fell swoop they will slash
away with their matches. leaving long
trails OF sulphur to spoil the surface.
The careful man will use the prepared
surface Of the matchbox, or Gagging
or floor or some place where the match
will not leave mark to be an eyesore.
But, alas! most of those who strike
matches are not careful. Some OF
them deserve to be prosecuted under
that section of the penal code which
preseribes a penalty for malicious mis-
chief.

while Barnes tendefed his resignation,
and has not been seen since. He evil
IDENTIFY knew why the paralytic cripple

No Afurderat All.

EsfPoRIA Ks. August ll.-The'story
from Louisville about the arrest Of
Robert Fl. Murray for the assassination
of Sister OF Mercy in this city some
years ago is probably a 'fake.n The
officers here have received no word
whatever from Louisville.
No murder Of Sister Of Charity over
occurred in this city. However, case
OF assault OF nun az the convent OF the
Sacred Heart in this city, under cir
cumstances similar 10 those related In
the Louisville story, did occur here a
few years ago, but the nun, although
badly hurt, recovered and was sent
away 10 another convent, where her
would-be lover could not find her. The
alleged assailGnt was arrested at Terre
Haute, Ind, few days afterward, but
proved an alibi and was released.

The attendance OF members Of the

represented. The opening address ol
the oommander-in-chief was listened tc
with rapt attention. His defamation
