breaks away from the home uncontroll-
ably, or where the home surrounding
are positively vicious, the State is obliged
to Interfere, but in doing so, it should
so far as possible avoid giving its pater-
nal care the selnblance of a criminal
proceeding. and placing the subject there
of under semi-penal influences and amid
semi-criminal surroundings. The line
mould be very carefully drawn between
the reformatory and the home for tru-
ants and waits who lave not reached
any depth of depravity.
The greater interest taken in women
prisoners than in men is essentially a
matter of sentiment. AS a rule their
case is no harder and they hardly ever
deserve more sympathy. Their reforma-
ton is equally hopeless and their diff
culties upon release are not really greater
thar those of male convicts. 1t is alto
gether an open question, too, whether
they are more successfully managed
unuer lne ulTScllou VI inch u "oAhSA.
New York State has been trying some
interesting experiments in this line. A
certain intermediate prison, a kind of
Elmira reformatory, has been, 1t is said.
very successful, and now all female
prisoners, except short timers, are sent
to a central prison, where only women
rule from the Warden to the turnkeys.
In many other places the administration
of women has led only to scandal. In
Indiana, about four years ago, the State
Penitentiary, under the management of
women, was shown to be a hotbed of
cruelty and abuse. About two years ago,
the Philadelphia House of Refuge was
investigated, and the female department
appeared in a very bad light. England,
France and Germany find male super
vision coupled with direct female ad-
ministration the best method of managing
female prisons.
1t is highly gratifying to see an in
telligent and disinterested body like the
Aid Association giving proper
to these vital questions. They
cannot be too much agitated. Out of
much discussion, wise conclusions will
ultimately be arrived at.

THREE PINTs OF WATER DAILY.

"a reason" says a physician, "why I
often prescribe one of the mineral wa
tiers for my patients and have them
take it daily in considerable quantities
is simply to give them sufficient water.
1t is an error committed by many other
wise sensible and intelligent persons
that drinking much water interferes
with digestion. One of those persons
said to me lately:-'I rarely drink a
swallow of water; a cup of coffee with
my breakfast, a cup of tea or chocolate
with my luncheon and an after-dinner
cup of coffee again with my dinner,
hat is practically all the liquid I take. ;
(This with an air of conscious rectitude.)
To begin with, tea, coffee, chocolate or
beer, wine and the like are not substi-
tutes for water, which is one of the
most important of all substances requir-
ed for the nourishment of the body.
Don drain a half-pint glass of iced
water just as you sit Town to eat; that
is palpably injurious, but do have a big
glass of water that has been boiled and
cooled brought to you on waking, and
by the time the bath and toilet have
been accomplished and breakfast is to
be taken the water will not be an in
terfering agent. About three pints of
water a day should be regularly taken;
fully this is needed by the SYSTEM

TEMPERANCE REJECTED.
w. c. Il. UPS Complaint Against the
City Library and Post Office.

The local W. C. T.. U. of this city is
evidently a survival of the ~fittest, but
while their numbers are few. they sue
coed in doing a great deal of work. A
meeting was held yesterday in the New
man Industrial Home and Mission, No.
100 Grand street.
Mrs. Beck said that the temperance
school was held every Friday, with seven
teachers and an average attendance of
twenty-five scholars. Object lessons on
wine, she said. were given. Mrs. Stew
art, in speaking of the Jail work, said
that some people thought it a waste of
time, but she cited an instance of a man
she met in a New York mission, who
said he had been in Jail when she visited
it, and had been so touched by her
aye that he went to the mission i'm
mediately upon his release. Mrs. Lining,
Superintendent of Temperance Litera-
ture, said books Inc papers had been
placed in the toughest quarters of the
city, but that, while they had been al
lowed in Lorfllard's reading room, the
Y. M. c. A. rooms, the Newman Mis-
sion, and the Pennsylvania freight house,
they had been refused il the Public
Library and the Postoffice.
1t was decided to hang cards with the
dates OF the meetings overfth temper
ance literature boxes. and in as many
strangers would know where a w. c..
T.. u. was to be found.

CORRECTING AN ERROR.
Fire Commissioners Meet and Make
Neyv Wire Contracts.

The Fire Board met last night and
rectified an error it made one week ago..
On that occasion contracts for the fur
nishing of about fifty miles of insulated
copper wire were awarded. When the
awards were made the fact was lost
sight of that there were two bids before
the board for the furnishing of the wire
which had not been properly disposed of.
Consequently last night the former
awards were rescinded. The bids of
Washburn & Moen and E. S. Greedy &
Co. were rejected as informal, inasmuch
as the bidders had neglected to state
how much their wire was to cost by the
mile or weight. The contracts were re-

wire will be strung as soon as it is re-
ccived. 1t is expected that the efficiency
of the alarm system will be greatly en-

Gubernatorial Timber.

The old conundrum hobs up again,
now that the Republicans seem to have
a chance of carrying the State next No
vember for Governor. Does Garry Ho-
bart mean it, or is he only fooling the
boys ? Tom Flynn says the great fresh
water pirate is in sober earnest, and has
a cinch on the nomination.; but then Tom
may be fooling; his scheme may be to
SOW discussions between the various G.
o. P. leaders.

If he chooses; but it is pretty nearly
impossible for General Sewell to get away
from John Kean, Jr., if John objects to
being nominated only in impossible
years. Franklin Murphy has started his
own boom by a feigned attack on the
Senatorial conspiracy. Foster NJ. Foor-
hees, the brilliant young Senator from
Union, is believed to nurse a gentle
ambition to make the run as the rep
resentative of the young Republican ele-
ment in the State. John w. Grigss, as
usual, will be the Evening Journals"
choice.
And, then. of course, General Grubb

There is only one available Democratic
candidate in sight, so far. The lex

ity, will be Job Lippincott of Hudson.

evening by holding an invitation enter

Insurance Rates and the Fire Depart
meBt.

The whole State appears to be rising
up in arms against the rates charged
by the insurance companies for fire risks
in cities. The direct increases of the
last two years have aroused the indig-
nation Of property owners and business
men, and the eighty per cent clause is
particularly obnoxious. In this city, the
companies, through their representative,
MIR. Gopsill, explain the situation by lay
ing the blame on the crudity of our Fire
Department; but the hollowness of this
position is best shown by the fact that
in Newark, where the Fire Department
has everything that we lack, the rates
are even higher than here, and the Board
of Trade of hat city is organizing a de-
termine0 opposition to what is regarded
as an outrageous imposition.
AS a matter of fact, there is nothing
ment. Though crude in organization, it
is highly efficient. We have a big fire
here once in a while, but the percentage
of loss to value of property we should
think was as low in Jersey City as in
New York. Some of the fires that have
been destructive, besides, like the Erie
freight pier fire two years ago or the
Abattoir in the summer, were of a class
that no fire department in the universe
could cop with.
However, some improvement is now be-
ing made in our system. The stringing
of new wires will remedy one of the
main defects. There will shortly be no
more delay or error in the transmission
OF alarms. The remaining weakness is
the buffalo system. This has been re-
tanned purely as a Measure of economy
to keep down the tax rate. If the tax
rate is 10 be permanently kept down, it
to be organized. City expenses do not
decrease materially. The interest ac-
count only scales down by microscopic
degrees, In these hare times, property
valuations will not admit of much in
crease in assessment.
But if Fire Department imperfections
are to keep insurance rates at their pres
ent monstrous figure, where does the
advantage of the low tax rate come in?
Property owners might better pay the
city than the companies and have the
advantage of more protection.

One day 1 apprehended a woman who
had lust arrived on a steamer from
Europe, suspecting that she had some
smuggled tobacco in her possession.
Upon examining her dress seventeen
pounds of tobacco were found concealed
under it but the most remarkable of the
expedients which she had resorted to for
the purpose of deceiving the Custom
House officers was that of giving to
the c~ontraband leaf the resemblance of
a loaf of bread. A quantity of cut tobac-

this being baked had the appearance Of

of tobacco which the woman had com
rived to secrete in this and other modes
amounted to over seventy pounds.-St.
