BUENOS AYRES, April 18th re-

fleet commanded by Admiral de Mello,
which arrived off this port last night,
are the subject of extensive exchanges
of telegraph messages between the au-
thorities Of this place and the Brazilian
Government. through the Brazilian Min
lister here.
The rebel ships are the Republlca, Me-
teoro. Iris. Urano and Esperanza. They
are In a very di%lapidated condition, and
the rebels on board of them are suffer-
Ing from sickness. wounds and lack of
proper food supplies. Their temporary
wants have been supplied. with the con
sent OF the Brazilian Minister, who has
received advices from Rio de Janeiro

granted to the insurgent rank and file,
and that the Brazilian Government will

consequently, the Argentine Govern

leaders, is now experimenting the de-
livery of the five war vessels to the
brazilian Minister, and this will have
been accomplished by the time this de-
spatch reaches the United States.
The crews Of the rebel ships are being

are received from Rio de Janeiro. II Is

How to Sew on DuttOns.

Buttons should be sewed on loosely,
the knot of the doubled thread IN the
right side of the garment under the but
ton. A pin with a small button n a
darner with a large button should be
inserted between the cloth and button
when sewing to make the stitches loose,
and then, when withdrawn, the thread
should be wound around the stitches,
making a shank for the play of the but
ton-hole. Buttons on children's under
waists should be especially strong. A
bit of cotton folded double where the
button Is to be sewed will prevent tear
ing out Of the waist itself. Such waists
should never be passed through the
wringer when washed, but should al
ways be wrung by hand. A wringer will
break the buttons faster than any
amount of wear.

THE HORRORS OF ELMIRA.

Judge Cowing sentenced a seventeen
year-old prisoner to the Eimira REFORM
atory yesterday. In so doing the Judge
expressed an unwillingness to send the
boy to that institution while the curse
of Brockwayism hangs over 1t. but adj
yised him to condict himself properly,
and then added the Judge, "he will
have no excuse to maltreat you"
What a disgrace 1t is to the State
that a Judge on the bench should be
forced by his conscience to make such
remarks. What n scandal 1t Is to hu-
mainly that such n condition OF affairs
should exist in a penal institution as to
make a just Judge dread the cruelties
that may be inflicted on a prisoner he
Is forced to sentence to confinement
there.
For this disgrace and this scandal Gov.
Flower is alone responsible. Charges
of misconduct have been established
against the managers of the Reforma-
tory. The Senate stands ready to con-
sent to their removal on the evidence
already obtained and the Judgment al
ready rendered. But Gov. Flower pro-
tects the condemned managers n
keeps Brockway in power. His pretense
at a new trial Is a farce. His re
quest for the Suspension of Brock
way is n raud. The new trial mean
the retention of the managers In office,
The Suspension" of Brookway means
the continuation of his power over tn,
institution. When IL sham suspension
was made pending the last trial, Brock
way and his methods were continued
at the Reformatory. The Governor was
snubbed and defed then. He will be
laughed at now by the managers and
condemned by the people whose sent
ments and wishes he has ~disregarded.

CAN'T GET RID OF THE WHALE
It's Carcass VIII Not burn, and
Soon May lie Annoying.

BAYPORT, l.. l., April 17.-All efforts
to burn the carcass of the dead right
whale which lies on the beach at
Water Island, where 1t was thrown By
the tide have proved abortive.
Thousands of people from the sur
rounding country visited Water Island
to-day to see the big fve-ton fish.
Some of the visitors got out their jack
knives and hacked ava at the noun
tain Of flesh until they detached
pieces of the skin n blubber, which
they carried away as souvenirs.
The pavilion owners near where the
whale lies are alarmed lest II cannot
be gotten rid OF before the warm
weather sets in. Unless 1t floats off
with a high tide it will prove a great
nuisance.

The Coming Woman.

To the Editor:
According to the strong minded ones OF the
weaker sex. the twentieth century woman will be
a model wife and mother. She's to be a paragon
Of perfection, a heaven born angel, a comforter
and protector for man. 1t isn't stated. however.
In what part Of the century she's to make her
debut. but she is coming, Isn't that consoling?
Judging by the present Indications, I opine she'll
be a cuckoo" Her prospective chances Of wife
hood will be very slim and as to motherhood
well, that will be left entirely to the honest. un-
sophisticated working class. Woman, to retain
the respect and admiration OF man, must return
and live within the sphere for which God and Nature
intended her. She is rapidly going outside Of 1t.
What will 1t be fifty years hencs! Chaos! See
the vast. increasing army of bachelors In this
and other cities-a menace to the moral tone OF
society and the institutions OF the country. Man
is afraid and unable to marry the woman OF the

The Soul Defined.
To the Editor

To the Editor:
Looking at man from the Biblical point Of view.
we ind most positive statements that he Is not
dual. but composed OF at least three principles.
St. Paul speaks in several places OF spirit. soul
and body. Even the passages cited by the
preacher speak OF spirit. soul. breath Of life
and b~ody-maklng four principles. A careful COM
par!son OF Bible readings will show that the
spirit In mar Is divine essence. or God. and can
not be lost: the soul Ia the rea, man, and may
be lost or saved: the breath OF lifc.' Is the
vital principle, and the body 10 the instrument
through which his soul gains experience.

Those Awful Men in the Ferries

To the Editor:
I am n young lady employed In New York and
have occasion to cross Roosevelt street ferry al
most every day in the year. Tho boats are not
large enough to the immense
traffic. and consequently they are damned to the
rail. A majority Of the people on board are men,
not gentlemen, who invade the ladies' cabin and
fll It up before any lady can enter 1t and pro-
euro a seat. The men not only plant their
cruisers and gunboats feet half way across the
cabin. but are continually expectorating. indulge
In boisterous talk and ogle the ladies as they
pass through the cabin. Is there no law under
heaven which has been enacted or can be enacted
compelling these rude and ungentlemanly people
to conf1ne themselves in the cabin provided for
them? Perhaps some of the readers OF your
valuable paper will start a crusade against these
intruders or chip" In and get boats for theiI
own special benefit. A PICKwICKIAN Girl.
