what dreams NAV come


When we have shuffed of this morta coil
and he admits, with a shudder, that it is
all unknown and 80 dreadful, and so he
longs for little respite from the long,
endless Journey It is life he longs for,
life among the ills he knows rather than
death, and the things that he knows not
Of. Then he thinks to himself: If | can
get my sentence committed | may in few
years get out. Something may turn up
which will induce the governor to pardon
me. | may have an unforeseen chance to
save life or do some deed Of bravery
which will bring me favorably to his
notice. My friends will work for me,
luck will favor me- Yes, give me life,
sweet life, on any termsv And so the
poor wretch who may have begun by
being almost recOnciled to his fate, comes
at last to long and hope and even expect
life
when the final moment has come and
he has to face the inevitable he may do it
gamely, but even at that moment if he
should see the smallest glimmer of hope
for a Communication to life imprisonment,
you would see all his stoicism give way
and then you would really learn how a
man can long for life. Carlyle Harris is
like the rest of them. All human nature
must be the same in its underlying mo-
tives, and he longed for a Communication,
perhaps, more strongly than others be-
cause he had greater intelligence than
other criminals.
Some men say, too, that if they knew
that they had to die they would rather
die at once than get a reprieye or have u
long period elapse between sentence and
execution. These people are also mis-
taken, for the same reason that the con-
demned murderer would rather have inn
prisOnment for life than death. He hopes
for something to turn up. We are all
1Fsafa vl.gas.r
We hope always for the impossible
Another curious thing | have noticed
is that not life prisoner has ever come
here who did not think himself much
more fortunate than men sentenced for
twenty years. For a long time | did not
understand why, but ] at last discovered
that ii was because the very severity of
their sentence made them hope the more.
They had no set period to look forward to
when liberty would be theirs again, so
they set period for themselves and that
was always Tomorrow This tomorrow
for them may mean next week next
month or year, or when a new governor is
elected. But they all look forward and
hope.
Strange to say, have discovered that
this hope is we'll founded / have taken
the trouble TO compile the statistics OF
sing Sing and other American prisons,
and ! have found thagnOt only do more
2O-year men serve out full terms than do
life prisoners, but that fully 30 per cent
less of the latter serve the equivalent OF u
2O-year term than do those who are origin
ally sentenced 10 20-year terms.
But that would tend 20 show IN
terrupted one of his hearers, .that there
is more sympathy for murderers than for
smaller criminals, such as burglars and
embozzlers.n

CONDEMNED MEN HOPE FOR LIFE
They Are Never Discouraged Until
the Last Moment of Their Agony.
From the Ne,v Yorl BRASS
From the New York Press.

A visitor TO the prison at Sing Sing re-

in Carlyle Harris place he would much
rather die at once than to have his SEN

duplicated so that they can be inspected
when the real living quarters are not ac-

who have never before been on a ship can

they will be asked to refrain from doing
in the living quarters.

Upon the superstructurC deck there is

weak points just as easily as If he had
them right there in the room.
GATLINGs AND SEARCH LIGHTS.
Behind the tower is the secondary bat

everything ready for her wedding, even
to the clothes for cleaning windows and
silver, and rolls of bandages in case Of
sudden accident, says the New York Sun,
to say nothing of the usual array of linen
and doilies, scarfs and centerpieces, only
to find out the perfdy of man and the ul-
certainty of all things mundane. The
day the engagement was broken she
made a big bonfire in the back yard, shook
out all the lavCnder-scented treasures
upon which she had lavshcd such care,
and heaped them all upon the flames.

THE news, Published exclusively in
the Herald yesterday, that the South
ern Pacific railway had laid double
track on Alameda street, created quite
a ripple of excitement.in the city and
provoked considerable comment. While
there was some sentiment against the
measure, the opinion OF the City Attor-
ney 10 the effect thst the railways &C.
ton was legal under tie terms of the
original franchise had the effect of pre-
venting any attempt to interfere with
the work. The fact that it was begun
while people we're asleep invested the
tracklaying with an air of finesse and
stratagem that, with many OF our citi-
zens, excited the suspicion that there
was large-sized African in the wood
pile. We give elsewhere the language
of the several documents, dated re.
spectively in 1872 and 1873, and they
appear to fully sustain the action of the
company, and make it seem all the
more strange that the double.tracking
was not undertaken in the broad light
OF day.

THE Boston nine played a game OF
baseball at the Haight street grounds,
San Francisco, the other day, with the
Oakland team. The latter never made
run, and San Francisco paper says
that the Bostons play better ball than
has ever been seen on this coast. The
bay city ''fans" were paralyzed at the
rapidity with which the game was played
by the visitors, the accuracy with which
the ball was sent and the certainty with
which it WAS caught. the astonishing
batting which always found the ball
and shot it beyond the outtield, and the
facility with which they kept the bases
clear when their opponents were at the
bat. 1t was revelation OF athletics
and finished play. Should the Boston
team come here it will! give our baseball
"cranks" an object lesson in the possi.
bilities of perfection in the American
game

The high officials now realize the fact
that there is no appropriation made to
carry out the provisions of the McCreary
bill extending the time for registration
OF the Chinese. Why was such an over
sight made in the bill itself? 1t should
have contained clause appropriating
the money necessary TO put the measure
in motion. 1t seems we shall now have
60 wait till congress meets in December
before an appropriation can be had.
In the meantime the Six Companies
will have good chance to invent ex-
cuses for not obeying the law, and by
the failure OF the friends of the bill to
incorporate an essential provision in it
the whole scheme may again fail.

ness boundaries of this city in the near
future, we should say that they will
extend from the junction at Upper
Main, hugging the western hills to Sixth
street, thence westward to Pearl, along
that street TO Pico, thence eastward to
Main, along Main to Washington, and
then return to the place of beginning in
irregular lines, sometimes, as in the
case Of First street, reaching easterly to
to the river. In less than ten years, he
who takes up map of Los Angeles will
find this prediction verified.
