vocation in life who are interested in prison
reform. Then there is the Wardens' Asso-
citation all the members of which are
present or past managers of prisons. There
is also Chaplains' Association made up of
prison chaplains. These three associations
meet together to discuss the crime problem.

A Plain Case.

A famous Chicago lawyer once had a sim
gular case to settle. A physician came to
him in great distress. Two sisters living in
the same house had babes of equal age,
who so resembled each other that their own
mothers were unable to distinguish them
when they were together. Now it happened
that. by the carelessness of their nurses. the
children had become mixed; and how were
the mothers to make sure that they had re-
ceived back their own infants? But per-
haps." said the lawyer. 1.-The children were

doubt that they were changed!' said the
physician. Are you sure of it?'' per

don't you change them back again? l don't
see any difficulty in the affair" Boston

Crime must be studied with scientific
spirit and method. The criminal should be
dealt with according to the right sentiment.
We should not hesitate to inflict pain pro,
vided it is the pain of the surgeons knife.
We should treat the criminals as brothers,
remembering that they have the same nat
ure that we ourselves have that we are all
of one family, and that while needing at
tention more than any other class they re-
ceive less. AS long as there is lynching
there will be a people to lynch. The strong

The board OF managers held their regular
monthly meeting on the first day of the
month. Besides the usual routine business,
the board considered the letting of the con

also decided to put in another system of

is to cost about $3.50 and to give EN-.

of letting the contract was not concluded
until Monday. The contract provides that

and then hurriedly return to the present.
About the first day of August. eighteen
hundred and eighty seven, a composing
stone and double news stand were set up
in the library-which then as now was on
the second floor of the cell house tower.
The force" then consisted of an editor
''devil." and fellow who had been
''deviP' in his youth. There was no rush
for copy in those first days. By the close
of the first day fully three sticksful of
SalutatOrv and errors had been safely lodged
in galley. In due time the first Issue of
the paper was out and the critics were in
apprising the editor of his mistakes. By
the end of the second week tie business had
grown to such proportions that it was nec-
essary to seek larger quarters. One end of
the shoe shOp-nOw the store room-was
secured and partitiOned off. The removal
was made. and everything indicated that
THE MIRROR had found permanent home.
But on about the second day shifting was
heard at the editorial desk. Presently the
editor elevated his head and exclaimed in
quiringly. "Whew! What's that?" 1t was
not long until the 'fOrce" had its noses
clamped between fingers and thumbs. In
vestigatiOn revealed the distressing fact that
the office was right over the soap factory.
The soap maker had been idle for few
days and was just starting operations again.
This was the first instance to cast gloom
over the young journalistic enterprise.
There were protests that availed nothing.
All the cracks and creviceS were calked, but
all to no purpose. The monster insinuated
its polluted breath through the ntinitesimal
pores of the wood and brick of the floor and
wall. The attempt was then made to defeat
the enemy by philosophical endurance, but
no amount of fortitude could withstand the
assaults of the foul monster. The editor
grew morOse and dyspeptic and the com
positors paled and sickened. 1t was decided

RESULTS OF THE KINGSTON FAILURE.
Neighboring Banks Claiming the Sixty Days
Notice to Prevent Heavy Runs.

KINGSTON, N. Y, Oct. 5.-As was
expected, the city is rapidly filling up
with people from all over the country
who are depositors in three city saw
lngs banks. Business is at a standstill
and crowds stand around discussing
the wrecking of the Ulster County
Savings Institution. The Kingston
Savings bank and the Rondout Say
ings bank have each posted notices on
their banking house doors, notifying
their depositors that the sixty days
notice required by law must
be given. Large crowds of
depositors, with bank books
in hand, stand in front of the institu-
tions. 1t is said that the Saugerties
and New PeltZ Savings banks will
also demand the sixty days notice
should there be any indication of a
run.
The robbery and the wreck of the
Ulster County Savings bank contin-
ues to be the all absorbing topic in the
city and county. While, to certain
extent, the depositors and their friends
have become somewhat calmer, the
depositors in country towns, who have
but just heard of the enormous theft
alleged against Ostrander and Trump
dour, are keeping up the excitement
by their denunciations Of the thieves.
The depositors continued to arrive
in the city in large numbers this
morning and by noon that block of
Wall Street wherein the Ulster Com
pany Savings Institution, the Kings
ton Savings Bank and the court house
and Jail are situated, was filled with
people. Several policemen were
stationed in front of the Kingston
Savings Bank to keep order. All
persons who had no business with the
bank were ordered away. Mayor
Kraft was at this point and aided
in forming a line, so there
on pushing. OF course all the deposit
tors could do was to give the required
sixty days notice. There was re-
port that large number of men who
held meeting on Sunday was COM
ing from Creek Lacks and that for
this reason the Fourteenth Infantry
company had been ordered out. The
company was not ordered out, but the
sheriff ordered Capt Frear to be in
readiness and the company notified
by message every member of the COM
pany to be prepared to proceed to ar
mory at the signal.
Ostrander and Trumpdour were ar
raigned before Recorder Hussey this
and waived examination and
were bound over to await the action
of the grand jury next week.

RAILROAD GRAIN RATES.
Considerable Trouble Among the Roads En-
tering Chicago,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. $50 far from
insuring stability Of rates, the heavy
grain movement from the West to the
East is likely to bring demoraliza-
ton that has been successfully STAYED
off during the dull portion of the year.
This, of course, will not be due to the
increase of tonnage, but to the fact
that all other outlets. to the seaboard
seem to be in greater favor than Chi
cago. While eastbound shipments of
grain seem to be very large by
way of st. Louis, Duluth, New
Orleans and Galveston, the
movement by way of Chicago is
so much higher than it has been for
years at this season, that the traffic
officials of the lines entering Chicago
from the west are beginning to grum-
bic and even to make threats. These
companies have been extremely con-
sentative during the present year, ig-
noring the cut rates that were known
to have been adopted several times by
some Of their competitors, IN the be-
left such practices would be dis
continued as soon as the busy season
commenced They can not afford
to stand by and let other
roads absorb their share of
the traffic, on which they
have depended to retrieve the losses
of the year. Complaints are made
that the Missouri Pacific is cutting
Grain rates from the Missouri River
and that the Great Northern and Chi
cago and the St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Omaha are employing unfair
means to divert traffic to Duluth. 1t
is even intimated that one or two of
the Chicago lines have taken steps to
meet this competition, and in few
DAYS they will all be engaged in the
scramble for business. A Rock Island
official said today that the Chicago
and Alton had undoubtedly cut the
rate from Kansas City to Chicago to
meet the rates of the Missouri Pacific
and Memphis line, but the only evil
dence offered was the sudden increase
of the Atoms business and the cores
ponding falling off in that ofthe other
roads. The Alton people say that
they have not reduced their rates as
vet, and that when they do it Will be
an open reduction. 1t is generally
conceived that the late situation Is
