Prisons at the Worlds Fair.

Mr.. Nathaniel S. Roseneau. of Buffalo,
secretary of the Charity Organization So
ciety of that city, and who has a wide rep
utatiOn for his scientific investigations in
practical sociology, has been appointed chief
of the exhibit of charities and corrections at
the Chicago Worlds Fair. To Buffalo
Express reporter Mr.. Roseneau explained
the scope of the work of his department
thus:
The exhibit of charities and corrections will
constitute a group of the Department of Liberal
Arts, which is known as department l.. 1t is in.
tended to show in this group the nature and work
of the charitable and penal institutions, as well
as the charitable societies of the entire world.
This will be done by means of models. architect
ural drawings, photographs of interiors and ex
teriors. specimens OF appliances. furniture, and
apparatus. and of the manufactured articles
turned out by inmates. Besides, retrospective
exhibit of prisons and asylums will be arranged
showing the methods of confinement and treat
ment of inmates of these institutions from the
earliest times. The exhibits will come in the first
place from the various States, which will make an
extensive display of their various institutions,
and in the second place from private corporations
managing institutions of an eleemosynary cor
rectional character. This exhibit will be the first
complete one of its kind ever created in connec
ton with international exposition. 1t is
pected to be one of the most important and inter-
esting exhibits of the Columbia Exposition. and
the opportunities it will afford for a comparative
study Of the century's achievements in charitable
and correctional work will undoubtedly attract a
large number of sociological students.

Where a Convict Is a Hero.

A Mussulman having served his term in
prison is regarded almost as a saint, no
matter as to the crime for which he had
been condemned. For Moslem to say
that he has been confined in prison is to
make claim upon the respect and admira-
ton of his fellow believers. A certain Mo.
hammedan was released recently from
prison after term of three years for tor
gerry. On his way to his house he was met
by crowd of his fellow believers, who
cheered him loudly and slaughtered he
goats before him. over the carcasses of
which he had to step. For three days
atterward his house was crowded with Wis.,
itors coming to congratulate him and to ex.
press their respect and admiration for him.
Among them were the most prominent men
of the Mohammedan community of the
city. Nor were these OvatiOns expressions
of disapproval of the punishment he
had suffered. for his guilt had been proven
to the satisfaction of his most ardent friends
and defenders.

forces with the skeptics and others, who are
secretly delighted at his fall from grace, in
making it appear that he was always wolf
in sleeps clothes. They forget all about
the weakness and sinfulness of mans nat
ure, which is the cause for the establishment
of Christs church upon earth. Now. were
the real truth known about many such men
it would be found that they were good men
at heart and that the good works in which
they had been industrious were prompted
by sincere and unselfish desire to help
others. The very crime they committed
may have resulted from the good work they
were trying to do. Taking great interest
in the church and other social organizations
and being most always capable and willing,
responsibilities are thrust upon them by the
less active and unselfsh members. They
are expected to do the work and be respon-
sible for its success or failure. Their time
and energy is thus taken up in works for
others that they should have devoted to
their personal interests. All these positions
of president, superintendent, secretary or
treasurer of social and philanthrophic Or
CARNATIONS require the occupant to draw
heavily from his own funds for the further
ance of the good works. 1t will be said that
he should withdraw from engagements that
he cannot afford to fulfill. but you should
remember that prideful human nature pre-
vents the best of persons doing what they
ought to do. Probably if many of these
men were not so generously disposed they
would never be tempted into ways that
bring about their downfall. Instead of
treating such men harshly they should re-
ceive the sympathy of all good people. for
they are really not in any degree so GRIM
inal as many whose methods of wrongdoing
are winked at by the community.

Sir John Macdonald. the dead premier,
has been the most conspicuous man in the
Dominion of Canada for many years. He

inces and he is called the father of the
Dominion of Canada. He has stood at the
head of the government almost continuously
for nearly quarter of century. He died

There is no publication attracting more
attention to-day than the Review OF Re-

of the month. The Progress of the World

once concise and interesting. The two
character sketches of the Pope, one by a
Roman journalist. the other by London
journalist. will be read with interest by
thousands of Americans to whom the per.
sonalty of the Pope has been as a sealed

courage individual intellectual effort, provide
healthy journal for the inmates of this and other

Notwithstanding the efforts OF the Irvine
Trust to discourage the manufacture of
binding Irvine in this prison by offering
their goods at ridiculously low prices. the
farmers of Minnesota are sending in their
orders at good rate. Eighty cash orders
have been received, and over twelve thou
sand pounds of Irvine have been shipped
from the prison. Many send for samples
of the Irvine while others call and examine
it here. The demand for the prison article,
which is superior to any offered by the
Trust, would be much larger than what it
is if the farmers had the ready cash.
