1t Is not so long ago that the very
mention OF Ludlow Street Jail, in
New York City, struck terror to the
hearts of persons who were not in the
habit OF paying their debts. No one
cared shout being sent to the Jail, for
it was never l.nown when they could
get out. Under the statutes then ex-
listing, Imprisonment for debt was
the most tyrannical and merciless
punishment known to the law. II a
creditor felt so disposed he had the
right, under the law. to confine his
debtor during his natural life. in Jail,
the only requisite being that the pris-
oner's board be paid regularly. The
board was 81 a day, and the wardens
took good care that the prisoners
were not oversupplied with luxuries

dren's festival OF Japan:
The third visit was that OF O depu.
tation OF children asking for some

Of Jizo, who has shrine on the other
side OF the street, exactly opposite
my house. was very glad to con.
tribute to their fund, for / love the
gentle god, and I knew the festival
would be delightful. Early next
morning ! saw that the shrine had
already been decked with flowers and
votive lanterns. A new bib had
been put about Jizo's neck. and a
Buddhist repast set before him.
Later on carpenters constructed o
dancing platform in the temple court
for the children to dance upon, and
before sundown the toy sellers had
erected and stocked small street Of
booths inside the precincts. After
dark ! went out into great glory Of
lantern fires to see the children dance,
and found perched before my gate
an enormous dragonay more than
three feet long. 1t was token OF
the children's gratitude for the little
help / had given them--a kazari, a
decoration. l was startled for tho
moment by the realism Of the thing,
but upon close examination ! discov-
cred that the body was pine branch
wrapped with colored paper, the four
wings were four fire-shovels, and the
cleaning head was little teapot
The whole was lighted by candle SO

MIR William Arnold of Red Cloud,
Neb., was in the city yesterday and
exhibited some relics he discovered
over in the Flat Iron portion of Q
county few miles south OF the Ar
kansas river. Mr. Arnold, in company
with his brother, John Arnold, who
lives in the Sac and Fox country,
where he has been visiting, and +. NJ.
Pearson OF q county, was up In the
Plat Iron section on a hunting tour
and while en- section 10 he discovered
what appeared to be piece of iron
gas pipe sticking in the ground,
projecting about six inches above the
surface and at an angle OF about
seventy-five degrees In The attempt
TO wrench the piece loose, he broke
off about fourteen inches and on ex-
animation he found it to be off the
muzzle END of as ingle barrel gun. This
excited Mr.. Arnolds curiosity and
with a campers AK he dug down into
the solid earth, which was a strong
clay formation, over four feet and
until he found the brass heel plate
from the stock of the gun. The exca-
vation discovered the metal remnants
barrel lock, etc. of what had been
flint-locl, single barrel shot gun.
The iron and steel portions had
been corroded until half eaten away
and only the brass heel-plate and a
dragon-shaped ornament that had
been attached to the stock remained
intact; not a vestige of the stock was
to be s,en. From the position of the
barrel, which measured 80 inches, the
owner Of the gun evidently left it
leaning against tree, but the tree
was gone and there was nothing to
indicate how long ago nor by whom
left, though it must have been more
than hundred years.
Mr.. Arnold prizes his find very
highly as a relic, and will carry il home
with him TO Nebraska
