THERE is an opportunity for a great deal
OF good work open to the National Prison
Conference now in session at Baltimore
Great improvements have been made of late
years IN the treatment OF criminals, but
there is still room for a vast amount. The
science of curative and truly reformatory
punishment is still in an embryotic state,
and even purely restrictive penalties are ad-
minlstered in manner altogether too rough
ana ready fol- the achievement of practical
results. In the treatment OF crime as other
things, prevention is better than cure But
in the treatment of criminals cure is more
effective than the simple prevention which
comes from hard labor behind bolts and
bars.

THE charges of cruelty made against tt

THE charges of cruelty made against the
commander of the United States Steamer
Adams are far too serious to be passed over
in silence. A searching investigation Is de-
manded alike for the vindication of the COM
mander and the credit OF the navy. If the
charges should prove true the punishment
Tor suoh brutality should be promptly
forthcoming. There is already too much
difficulty experienced in enlisting men for
the navy, and the difficulty can but be in
creased by permitting stories of official
cruelty to go uncontradicted.

METROPOLITAN FEATURES.
ryRoM A srArr CORRESPONDENT


NEW YORK, Dec 8-Walking through Gem
tral Park the other day, was astonished 70
see the evidences of vandalism that appear
here and there and everywhere. The mag
nificent stone terrace at the head OF the
mall is probably the most conspicuous LOT
these There is not q stone carving W1tnln
reach of the vandal hand that has not peen
defaced by chipping. The beautiful designs
on either side of the grand staircases lead
ing to lake, plaza and fountain, which de-
signs originally showed birds and water
fowls of various description, have been
practically ruined. The bills, legs, tails,
wings and every other projecting feature
have been broken on. In several instances
the heads have disappeared. The carvings
were deep, richly elaborate and skillfully
executed. Their condition would now make
an artists blood t1ngle with tndigna-
tion.
As stood there mentally bewailing the
disfgurement of this work OF the sculptors
art, 1 saw a policeman watching me from
the cover of the wall above. When came
up inquired II there was no way to protect
such things from the young hoodlums who
roam through the park.
"Boys," said he, contemporary, 'ft amt
boys-it's grown people. What's more. It's
grown people who know better. They call
themselves ladies, and gentlemen and
that's what they do. Boys couldn't do
what's being done all over the park. It's
men and women. They go through here
with hammers and knock on carvings and
chip of corners OF marbles. And they carry
of the pieces to their homes in Chicago, New
Orleans and Boston and wherever they live
and think it's smartp'

We Americans are noted for our want of
veneration. Abroad we nre instincGively
classed as o nation of vandals. I remember
once in lettering among the famous soulp-
lures of the grand gallery at Florence how
the attendants watched the American
visitors. My guide spoke to one OF them in
Italian and complimented him upon his
fresh appearance after 30 many years in
service.

replied; land my nose," he added, tndicat-
ing with quick gesture a noble marble that
had lost these members. "but, sacristai II

AFTER all, the epidemic Of successful
crime from which Chicago is now suffering

accomplished before the Worlds Fair open
