OFF TO THE WAR.
A Plucky Chicago Woman
Reporter.
Mary III. Krout Is Disabled, but Is
Bound to Reach Honolulu for
the "Inter Ocean,"

There Is q young woman at the Occiden-
tai Hotel who is showing in striking way
what the modern American woman is made
of, and also what a bright, pucky, self
reliant woman can do in the field Of jour-
nalism.
She Is Mary II. Krout. political reporter
and general hustler on the Chicago Inter
Ocean, and just now is on her way to Homo
lulu as a special correspondent Of her
paper with fractured leg ncased in plas-
ter and pair Of crutches TO help her get
there"
She was detailed on this mission as soon
as the exciting news of the Hawaiian revo-
luton reached the world. and her blood
quiekened with citation. Like many an
other Of the enterprising LADY reporters"
who have now fully won their way to rec
ignition and success in the newspaper field,
she was as ready for revolution in the
South Sea islands as a wedding in First
Congregational Church.
She rushed into haSty preparations for
her trip, but just before she was to start
she had the misfortune TO met with
accident in which she received severe
injury. DID she say, "Weil, that set
ties it," go 10 bed and, perhaps, cry lit
tie over her keen Disappointment? Most
any reporter with trousers on him would
probably have let omebody else 60, if doc
tor had just put a case of plaster around
limb and told him to stay indoors and keep
quiet.
Mary II. Krout did not cry bit as far as
is known. Her doctor told her not TO think
of going, and the Inter Ocean management
thought too that she had better stay at
home. But stay at home she wouldn't. She
bought pair OF erutches and said that she
was ready to go, and go she did. The
plucky and enterprising little woman
arrived here on Sunday. aud she will depart
on the steamer China to-day.
She will no doubt make success of her
trip, but it may be mentioned that she will
not be the first American woman reporter
to get to the turbulent islands.
THE CALL has a bright plucBy and en-
terprIsing reporter too, and as she left on
the Mariposa day or so after the Claudine,
Miss Knapp, The CALLS special CORE
spondent, has quite start Of her Eastern
rival and will have the distinction of being
the first woman war correspondent ever
sent out and her report will be the first one
Of that nature ever written by woman.
Mary II. Krout has already won distinc-
ton In Chicago, especially in the novel role
| OF political reporter. She has been a jour
| nalist for some time and she worked hard
and successfully in the field during the last
| campaign. Besides doing special and polit-
| ical work she is the editor of the wOman's
| column Of her paper. Since she took hold of
! that department there has not been much in

| more sensible and exalting.

NEEDED AS A NEW COUNTY JAIL.
A Den of Vice to Be Converted.

breaking rock to be used In repairing the roads
The fact that criminals know that most OF tne
time may be spent In ldieness ueprlVeS TIC
house OF any terrors Tor them.
Nice state of affairs in an institution that
was intended as q refOrmatoryl
But the story of all the abuses In re-
formatory that never reformed has not been
fully set forth in the foregoing. 1t has
been a school for the propagation and not
for the prevention OF vice.
In the main building are two big work
rooms that have laid idle for many years.
Under the careless administrations Of the
political guardians of the past the only
two branches of industry ever established
at the "reformatory" have been allowed to
decay for years and fade away to nothing.
Workbenches have rotted and machinery
intended for use in the manufacture of
shoes and clothing las rusted and warped
Itself into a valueless mass of old iron.
These ruins will be quickly removed
when the proposed law goes into effect.
Young miscreRnts will be sent to the State
industrial schools, where they may learn
useful trades. and hardened criminals will
have to journey across the bay to San
Quentin or Folsom. where they may COM
mingle with ''croOks" of all classes.
Asked his opinion Of the conversion OF
the House of Correction into the County
Jail Mayor Ebert said that he could only
repeat what he had set forth on previous
OCCASIONS. eau OuiS i6pehtt u0 Salu,
that the Industrial School and the House
of Correction were established by the Leg
sature and an act was necessary to
abolish them. This city needs County
Jail and it does not require the other in
situations. San Francisco has been a beast
of burden for the State just about long
enough. Taxpayers have supported some
200 men and boys who should have been in
State institutions. For the youths there
are the Preston School of Industry and the
Whittier Reform School. For the men-the
hardened criminals-the State prisons at
Folsom and San Quentin are the proper
places.
How will the new Jail benefit San Fran
cisco? In a very simple way. When we
have rid ourselves of the burden we shall
begin a system of reforms that will result
In considerable saving and the furnishing of
a better service We shall let the branch
County Jail, the old Industrial School
building, remain as it is. 1t Is suitable
place for women sentenced to the County
Jail by the courts of the city. There is
room enough in the building to serve the
needs of the county for many years.

The wide area inclosed by the Mechanics
Pavilion was well filed with visitors to the
fair last evening.
As the attendance turns out toward the
time Of closing many gem born to blush
unseen, or at least hardly noticed in the
wealth Of big exhibits comes TO light.
Among these gems is dainty cross in the
south upper gallery. near the center Of the
building, on the reverse side OK the wall
which incioses the art gallery.
Passing along there last evening a con-
slant crowd was noticed bending over this
cross, which seemed to be formed of waXeu
flowers arranged over velvet. closer
inspection. however, showed that the dainty
grange blossoms were not formed of wax,
but of hundreds of minute fishscales
fastened together with Infinite art 1t was
further aseertained that it was the work of
one lady Mrs. John Pettee. who was oc-
cupied six months in the elaboration of this
unique work, which. although not more
than eighteen inches high, required for its
construction not less than twenty-five hun
bred scales of the shad. The dainty con-
ception, so remarkable in its ivory trans
parency. is protected by glass case.
Such are the attractions. which, with the
excellent music of the First Regiment
band, continue to repay the wideawake
visitor.
This evening Miss Pearl Evelyn Tinker
will give an exhibition of Delsartean move
ments as special attraction, and on
Wednesday James Ordway, the champion
bicyclst of the Pacific Coast, will give an
exhibition Of fancy riding. On Friday aft

ROBBERS AT WORK.
j. F. Sharp Attacked by
Thieves.
They Sandbagged Him, Stabbed Him
With a Knife and Tried to
Steal His Watch.

j. T. Sharp. a machinist, who lives at 125
Fourteenth street, was visiting friends last
highs at IL Treat avenue and at about o
O'Clock he took his leave. When he left
the house OF his friends he saw two men
sitting on fence across the street from the
house, but not taking any notice OF them he
went ON his way. He had just turned the
corner of Treat avenue and Fourteenth
street when he happened TO turn around
and he saw the two men had got off the
fence and were directly behind him, follow
ing him up.
He quickened his pace and they did the
same, and by the time he got up to Folsom
street, which is half block away the men
were up to him. lie then OWNED their
motive, but before he had time to run or de-
fend himself one OF them struck him on the
head with sandbag. The blow partially
stunned Sharp, but he had the presence of
mind to take his police whistle from his
pocket and blow Ii.
The robbers saw at once that unless they
acted In hurry they would be caught, and
one OF them snatched Sharp's watch chain,
while the other took knife from his pocket
and struck him in the side. After Sharp
was struck with the knife he did not know
what happened, for he became unconscious.
He must have lain where he fell for at least
twenty minutes. as II was almost half-paSt
9 o'clock when some boys came running
into the Seventeenth-street police station
and said that there was man dying at
Folsom and Fourteenth streets.
Policemen. together with the patrol
wagon, were at once dispatched to the spot.
and on arriving there they found that the
man had been removed TO the house of his
friends, where he had Eeen visiting. There
1t was found that Sharp had not been
cut by the knife; it had penetrated through
two heavy coats. and its progress had been
stopped by a small book with a cardboard
cover. The knife must have been used with
very great force, as it made a clean cut
through the two coats and cut its way half
through the book. The footpads failed TO
get his watch and chain, but they bent the
swivel on the chain in their efforts to steal it,
Sharp could not give n very accurate
description Of the men. but one Of them, he
said, wore white hat and black mustache.

Section 1. The act entitled can act In
relation to the House of Correction of
the City and County Of San Francisco"
approved April L, 1878, is hereby amend
ed as follows
Sec. e. TIL. Board OF Supervisors of this
city and county of San Francisco are
hereby authorized to change the Institu-
tion now existing therein and known as
the House of Correction into a County
Jail, and to make all rules and proper
regulations TO effect said change; pro-
vidsd however, that nothing in this act
shall be construed as affecting the prison
ers now serving sentence In said House OF
Correction, or who may hereafter be sent
to saId House of Correction by any court
OF competent Jurisdiction before this act
shall take effect, but to all such prison.
ers the said institution shall be deemed
TO be the House Of Correction until the
expiration of their respective terms Of
imprisonment. And the Sheriff OF the
CITY and county OF San Francisco shall
have full power to do any and all acts in
relation to the detention OF said prisoners
thst are now performed by and made the
duty Of the superintendent of said House
of Correction.
Sec. g. This act shall take effect In -
days from after its passage.
Such Is the gist of the bill that Mayor FL
lert caused TO be introduced and passed by
the Legislature last week. 1t now remains
for Governor Markham to affix his sigma
ture to it to make il the law. That he will
do so there is little doubt, and then the pro-
posed law, so beneficial to San Francisco.
will so into effect Immediately.
How viii the establishment of decent
County Jail without the aid Of Doodle or
bosses benefit this city? In more ways than
one. 1t will save the taxpayers the ex-
pense of supporting hundreds of criminals
who properly belong in State institutions,
help materially in reducing the city's big
deficiency of $500, coo, and weed out the po-
litical papSuckers who derive the only
benefit from the so-cslled ''reformatory."
Let one first examine the law under
which this misused Institution was con-
structed and then he will more readily COM
prehend the nature of the abuses that have
existed there for so many years.
Under a legislative act the prison was
erected in 1875 at cost of $4,000, and
