and they come and go year in and
year out, to see beloved ones whom
the world docs not love and has put
behind bars, The gray prison walls
hold all that is dear in life to these
sisters.
The husband who has committed
crime that his wife may have luxurious
surroundings usually retains the af-
fections of that wife, even when he
dons stripes and Is close cropped. The
professional burglar often is n model
family man and does not sever his
family ties when he docs time" The
man who kills his fellow man for the
affections of a woman and is paying
the penalty for that crime has surely
right to expect that that woma n
will care enough for him to remember
and visit him while he is the servant of
the state.
Citizen there is mothers love, never
failing, never even wavering in its un-
assaiable constancy, and that accounts
for one-half the visitors to the Sing
Sing convicts. Thirteen hundred men
are confined at Sing Sing, and the
army of women-sad women who are
sad because of the thirteen hundred
must easily equal the convicts in mum
Der.
Many romance brought to n tragic
climax by the merciless hand of the
itors Even the ubiquitous hackmen
who infest the Sing Sing railway sta
ton seem to appreciate this, for when
these unhappy ones alight from the
trains and look uneasily and self-con-
sciously about, the drivers realize in
tuitively the nature of their errand
and treat them with a Difference rarely
met with in their class. They APP
proach respectfully, and in subdued
tones say kindly, ITO the prison,
MADAME" or, Right this way to the
prison"
About one visitor only is there any
mystery. Others give their names and
go to see some convict who is known
to the keepers. This one goes yelled,
and no one knows who it is she goes
to see.
A tall, 1.-the, graceful woman, at
tired all in black and wearing a heavy
black veil, occupied seat in car
directly in front of and opposite that
of the writer recently.
She was uneasy and restless, though
not obtrusively SO; she carried herself
with the fine reserve of woman of
breeding accustomed to do Just such
things. Sometimes she would look
about the car, as if in fear
of being recognized, though with her
veil recognition, even by an intimate
friend, would have been clearly iinpos-
sible.
An old-time hackman at the Sing
Sing station approached her as she
alighted. She got into his ramshackle
as if she had been in it be-
fore, and it ratified up the hill and
over the stony road along the bluff to
the prison a few hundred yards in ad-

Why Cholera Kills.

When an adventurous scientist declared
that he had swallowed any amount of chol
era cultures without injury, there was a
good deal of incredulous head shaking, and
wfke the doubters could not really dispute
thth tatements made they insisted that
therSmust be something behind it all, fol
if cholera bacilli were really themselves
and nobody else why didn't the man diet
And now it appears that it isn't the well
bred, properly conducted bacillus that does
the mischief, but substance that they
manufacture from the contents of the hui
man interior where they take up then
abiding place. The bacilli proceed to form
what is known as nitric, a most deadly
poison. This substance is by the bacilli
generated from many vegetables, especially
caulifiower, lettuce, beets and turnips.
Meat contains but limited amount OF
convertible material; hence the PREVAILING
idea that vegetables are to be eaten with
prudence during cholera seasons, while
meat in small quantities and Indian corn,
barley and the like are much safer articles
of diet. 1t is further asserted that there are
other bacteria found in the intestines of men
and animals that are capable of generating
nitrites, but that the cholera bacillus pro.
duces over 40,0|G times more than any Other
creature. If there is no suitable substance
found by the cholera bacilli upon which tc
work, they form Tactic and other acids, but
these rarely cause serious ills. They some
times give rise to what is known as choler
inc, which frequently prevails to consid.
cradle extent during epidemics of cholera
