MIXED ALEn DALY'S LAW.
Prosecutor Winfield Pays His Res pee is

prosecutor btunci0 rays LIS kses pec tS
to the Bad Senator.
Judge Hudspeth today was reluctant
to talk about the possible results
of the illegal commitment of
prisoners to the Penitentiary
for terms of more than six months. AS
published in THE NEWS yesterday. q law
was passed by the last Legislature which
compels the Court Of Sessions to
send prisoners to State Prison who
are sentenced to a term OF
six months or more. Before this law was
enacted prisoners could be sent to the
penitentiary for a term not exceeding II
year.
Judge Hudspeth did not care to express
any opinion concerning the cases tnat
had been sent to the Penitentiary for one
year. Notwithstanding the law passed
last winter, but he did say
''This law is one of the most outrageous
OF apy thai has been enacted in this State.
1t was done by rural legislators who de-
OF the support of prisoners.
and TO compel the State to
support them. The law was in tended to
operate only in communities where there
are no warehouses;. This law must be
repealed or else this county may as
we'll close the Penitsnriary. 1t is a bad
law aud I have no doubt but that the
next Legislature will remedy the evil
done By the last one"
District Attorney Winfield, when I
interviewed MIN GU this subject. took oc-
cssion to pay his respects to Senator
DAILY. Mr.. Winfield said, with consider
able emphasis:
.This law is the result of sending
criminal lawyers to the Senate
or Assembly. Criminal lawyers,
when in the Legislature, are always
bound TO enact laws that are intended 10
benefit criminals. Criminal lawyers
should not be permitted TO be legisia-
tors"
Other lawyers say that there is no
doubt but that all OF the prisoners who

matte policy would have been seriously dis
arranged by it. The Iron Chancellor there
fore arranged the union with Princess Au-
gusta Victoria of Augustenburg with the
idea that it might heal the rather serious
breach between the Holsteiners and the
Prussians.
The pair were married in Berlin in 1881
after a wooing all too brief and cold, and
the princess at once discovered that she had
a difficult part to play. Between her head
strong young husband and his domineer-
ing English mother, old Kaiser Wilhelm
and Prince Bismarck, all of them schem-
ing, and each of them at times pulling a
different way from the rest, her task was
very trying, but she succeeded well and
gradually won the sympathy and respect
of every one with whom she came in con-
tact. She had a faculty for speaking the
soft answer that turneth away wrath and
prevented and pacifed many bitter quar-
rels by a timely word. The old kaiser grew
to like her very well indeed, and her i'm
pulsive spouse soon began to manifest more
warmth of feeling than a marriage arranged
as his had been would seem likely to evoke.
From the first the princess showed the
domesticity of her tastes, devoting herself
as much as possible to household matters
and taking no lead in the social affairs of
Berlin and as little interest in them as was
compatible with her position. Since she
has become empress she has changed little
in this respect and is still more of tlQideal
German hausefrau than the social leader.
She looks carefully after her house ard
family, giving an attention to details that
would surprise many an American society
woman.
The routine of the empress daily life is
almost unyarying-at s o'clock breakfast
with the emperor; at 9 a visit to the nur-
series of her seven children, always in the
p~leasantest part of whichever palace may
be the royal home for the time being; at
loan interview with her h~ousekeeper and
inspection of the household accounts; at
II a drive with the emperor or a walk with
some of the children. Luncheon is served
at l o'clock, and the emperor Il all the
children are usually present, the family
having O general discussion and romp after
ward for an hour. From 8 to 5 the empress
receives.
Dinner is at 6 o'clock, and at this meal as
many as so invited guests sometimes assist.
The empress is usually profusely decorated
with jewels and does not dress in the best
of taste, being too fond of vivid %colors, but
she is extremely watchful of the comfort
of her guests, and the slightest mishap
must be accounted for by the servants.
When the guests have departed, the royal
pair always pay u good night visit to the
nursery, and if any one of the princelings
is ill the empress will spend the entire night
watching at his bedside.

screws and Joined neatly at the corners,
were strips of wood 2 inches wide OF
finch stuff, the first 8, the second IL
inches from the floor. Then the legs
were sawed off even with the top strip.
Next she padded this cell SO that the
future inmate might strike his small
blond pate against it without fear of con-
tusions. Little pads of cotton covered
with pretty c~retonne were tackled to the
board around the bottom and also to the
strips across the sides and ends. On the
floor of the box was tackled a piece of
rubber cloth and over this q mattress of
cotton covered with q loose slip of cheese
cloth.
Baby's toys were fastened to tapes and
attached to the Stats for convenience.
Casters were screwed on the under side
of the car, and baby can be moved not
only to different parts Of the room, but
also to different rooms.
At a cost of not more than 81 a cage
like this can be made at home from pine
boards planned on one side. Turned posts
are better for the corners than square,
as it takes considerable well adjusted
padding to made the square cut edges SO
soft that baby's head will be quite safe.
This is an especially nice way Of giving
baby an airing on the lawn in summer,
for if the grass be somewhat damp after
a shower he will still be quits safe in his
car.
Another clever cage is made of a bas-
ket of willow ware with casters on it,
and in it the baby can walk about the
house or on the porch without fear of

shot hopsacking ecru, with a thread of
green and o hint of rose, having the skirt
made in two circular 1ounces without a
particle Of fullness at the top. They are
cut from the wide goods that come for
the purpose on the general plan Of the
round cookies T. grandmothers made,
with a hole in the center, and have no
seam at all in the skirt, OF if the cloth is
they have one seam in the
back, but no darts or gathers at the top.
And in the edge Of each founce are two
little pipings of rose silk, very narrow
and modesb. I1sII an 1ncn ABOVE these
pipings are three milliner's folds of
brown about half an inch wide and the
same width apart. The hat is black,
with a lace butterfly in front and GRIM
son roses crowded under the brim in the
back.
But the odd thing about the dress is
the cape or collarette of brown vel ct,
which is fulled around the shoulders,
pointing down between the shoulders,
ending in two tab ends to the bottom of
the dress in front. All over this odd lit
tie tippet was fitted beautifuFwhi lace
apparently 0 in the form OF the gar
ment itself, pointing in a pattern down
the back and extending to the edge of
the long tabs in front.
One thing is fully decided by this prom
enade of the accepted fashions, and that
is that the hoopskirt has made a bold at
tempt at invasion, but has not been ac-
cepted. Cheap dresses of fimsy stuff may
be set out with a hoop, but elegant wom-
ankind doubles the number of silk OF
lace frilled cambria skirts, founces the
new dresses half way to the top with silk
and gets the effect without the hoop.
Occasionally woman does arise in her
majesty, and how quickly a fashion dies
when once she is decided and in earnest,
which makes it all the more astonishing
that she does not assert herself more
frequently and insist upon retaining ar
tistic modes rather than rushing into abb
surdity for the sake of a change.
