A Boy Who Had Struck q Claw-Ham-
mer Streak of Ill-Luck.

mer Streak of lll-Luck.
From the Chicago Tribune
The corner lamp-post at West Madison
and Carpenter streets almost hid him from
view. He was mite of thing, but in
ured to hfe's hardships-at least. one would
judge so from his soliloQuy.
He wore pair of some one elses cast-off
trousers. likewise a hand-me-down' coat
and hat that permitted his eyes to see
only by the grace OF his ears acting as its
support
He smoked the butt of a cigar he had
gathered in from the front of a saloon. and
between puffs and expectorations he be-
walled his hard fate thus:
"Deese yer are dead tough times an dere's
Eo mistake about ii elder. DE old man done
got run to de pen an de ole lady is tenn
pranced. Dat settles me beer racket at
home.
Den dere's me chum, Jerry. he's packed
his freight for Kalamazoo. and Jimmy. he q
gone to Paris, me little sisters skipped de
gutter Uoo good fer dis world anyway, de
old cats dead and some sneaker done stole
me dog. What's de use in living, anyway?
den dey had to go an change de cop
pers on our beat, an dat new cop gave me a
camp in de pants last night dat loosened de
front buttons o my galluses. Dere's no liv-
IN around when dere's a new copper. Den
Ella Sweeney. my solid girl. done got thick
wild dat dude. Mike Casey, and shuck me
dead cold. OATS bad. 1 tot q heap O. dat
girl.
Yes. tings are gettin' dead tough around
yere. But what makes me feel the worse
amt any of desc tings. No, dat is all bad
enough, but when 1 sneaked in de house
las night an de ole woman caught me an
made me get into tub O. water and wash
meself,' dat broke me heart. 1 want to die
row. Jes' tink of it. l was called dude
tree times comm tree blocks. / can't stand
dat L tink I'll have to hit de road"
And lighting fresh butt from the one he
had been smoking, he pulled his hat down
over his eyes and stole off up an alley.

PHYSICAL DISCIPLINE IN PRISON

Let any one consider for a moment the
material of which our great prisons are
made up. In one aspect they are den of in
subordination, Of brutality, Of all evil ten
denotes. In another aspecttheir inmates are
human beings, separated from the mass of
mankind often by narrow lines, and capable
OF being trai led into orderly and decent ways
of living. But they are generally so de-
graded, or so crooked and distorted, that
they can only be raised and Strengthened by
severe and persistent discipline. There must
be applied to them the rules that make the
athlete, that make the soldier, that make
the trained scholar. And this will not
come about with perverted beings
who have little power of will by voluntary
effort. The discipline that normal people
apply to themselves they will not apply.
They must be compelled into new habits, and
this ~compulsion implies the authority to use
physical force at times. The sentimentalists
fail to make this distinction, and cannot con-
ceive Of any reform based upon the physical
power to enforce discipline-that is, the dis
cipline that shall change hbaits and charac-
ter. For most criminals indefinite confine-
ment where they are subject to disciplinary
good influences is the greatest mercy; de-
finite sentences for punishment and the pet
ting OF the sentinlentalists are the worst
res.-Hosper's Magazine for April.

ing duty who has not done it will be dealt
severely with. My vote will always be to
dismiss such an offender.
Another thing that foremen must be care
full of is the indiscriminate ordering OF sup
plies. In future | want supplies ordered
when absolutely necessary, not at random.
Let the men do their duty and we will
all be on the best of terms. want the
credit Of the department held up, and 1t re-
mains with its men to do it. / will do my
share.
"When men wish to get of for a few hours
in future, / must insist that they apply at
Headquarters. The system of commission
ers relieving men has worked at times to
great disadvantage as it has frequently &C.
CURED chat two men of the same company
have been of at the same time"
In conclusion, President Brennan thanked
his colleagues for the honor conferred upon
him. Commissioner Kern thanked NJ. Bren-
nan for saying the department was in such
a good shape.
The rules which governed the old board
were adopted and adjournment taken until
next Wednesday evening.
The Tax Board viii probably not organize
until May l, when Commissioner Mclean
will be made President. Commissioner Love
is slated for the City Collectorship as soon
as Collector O'Neills scalp is taken by the
Legislature. By that time the Mayor will
probably have found a successor to Mr..
Love and successors to the Street and Water
Commissioners When this occurs there will
be q general house cleaning. If the stories
of appeals of trimming" clerks could be be-
lieved, there is not a democrat holding
Office. Mayor Wanser has expressed himself
as disguised with some of these clerks.

STREET AND WATER BOARD TRIAL
Commissioners VIII be Arraianed on
NAV Il.

Judge Lippincott today at the request of
Prosecutor Winfield, named next Tuesday,
May l, for the trial Of the members OF the
Street and Water Commissioners in the
Court OF Oyer and Terminer. These five
men, E. A. Dugan. Johu f. Madden, Will
lam 81. Cook, Charles J. Somers and Stephen
Voc, were, as THE JERSEY CITY News has
before published, indicted by the Record
Grand Jury, and were charged with con-
spiracy.
A number of specific offenses were charg-
ed in the indictment, but under the general
Indictment for conspiracy the Prose
cutor may go behind the allegations set
forth, and if the State fails to prove those
specified, it has an opportunity to prove
others, which have not been named. An
least, this is the claim that is made in the
Prosecutors office, and for that matter is
but following the presidents made at the
time OF the notorious ballot box suffers
trials.
When the accused commissioners were ar
raigned to plead they were represented by
Charles Thompson Of the law firm Of Dick
inson, Thompson IL McMaster, and it is not
known to any one at the Court House that
this firm will have any legal assistance.
Prosecutor Winfield is busy in preparing
bis evidence to suit him, and an interesting
trial is anticipated.

TROLLEY ACCIDENTS.
A Dog Carr Wreck and a Young Lady
Seriously :

~
A serious accident occurred on the New
ark trolley line yesterday afternoon. At ten
minutes past two, Miss Lillian Purcell, No.
10 Glenwood avenue, was driving down
Crescent avenue in a dog cart, accompanied
by her cousin Douglas Scbenck. AS they
turned into Communipaw avenue they were
driving quite fast, and were struck by New
ark car $50, going east. The cart was
overturned. n Miss Purcell was thrown
out over her cousins head. striking
on her forehead, sustaining severe cuts and
bruises on her face, and breaking her index
finger. The moterman stopped his car and
conscious condition, but managed to gasp
out, II am all right, 20 and attend to ny
cousin Mr.. Schenk escaped with q few
scratches, and assisted his cousin to the
Fourth precinct station house, where
she was attended by DIR. Everett,
who happened to be there at the
time. Her own physician. DR.. Mclaughlin,
was sent for and took her to her home, where
she is being cared for by Drs. Buffet and
Mclaughlin. The motorman, whose name
is Frank Ford, and who lives at No. 422
South Eighteenth street, Newark, was ar
raigned in the Third District Court this
morning. As Miss Purcell was not able to
appear against him, Justice Kimmerly post
poned the case for two weeks, and held Ford
In 500 bail for trial.
At q quarter past ten O'Clock last night

a wagon driven by a man named Hogle, at
the corner of jackson and C-ommunipaw
avenue, and smashed it badly. No one was
injured. Tho motorm0n was not arrested.

CATHOLICS AND CREMATION.
The Church Early Abolished the
Burning of BODIES.

The Church Early Abolished the
Burning of Bodies.
The blessing of the new part of the Hud-
son County Catholic Cemetery Sunday by
Bishop Wigger has awakened much interest
in the position of the Catholic Church rela-
tive to the burial places of the dead. Occa-
sionally it is learned that men who in life
professed to be Catholics were refused burial
in these consecrated grounds, in fact it was
only q few months G hat a prominent
butcher who lived in the neighborhood of
the Five Corners was buried in a Protestant
cemetery because Mgr. Seton and Father
Ter Woert would not testify to his bel ng a
Catholic. He was what is commonly called
q negligent Catholic, that is, while alive he
did not attend to his religious duties. The
body Of a suicide will not be allowed burial
in consecrated ground, neither will the bod
les of those who In life were excommuni-
Gated.
From the beginning the church showed the
greatest respect for the mortal remains of
her children. The Egyptians embalmed their
dead, shut them w In collins and preserved
them in their houses as a precious deposit.
The Romans, on the contrary, burned their
dead and kept only their ashes, that is, they
acted thus only to their friends. The hosts
OF slaves they owned they treated with the
same brutality in death as they did in life,
hlI0H bu0 DOuloS.polEulclu lutO u0ep UT6ucQ6S
or burned them in the public ustrtnes. In
the country they were often left to dogs or to
birds OF prey. The custom among the an
clients, with the exception of the Egyptians,
was to place tombs in the country by the side
of highways, in lonely caves or in gardens.
TIL Catholic Church abolished the custom
of burning the dead. She decreed that the
dead should be buried in one place near her
temple. The first temples of the Catholic
Church were actually cemeteries. The
Catacombs were nothing else. it was amid
the dead the living met to pray. Later on,
when it became lawful to build Christian
temples, the Church fastened to consecrate
the burial places. She wished that the
cemetery should be near her temple. This
ancient custom is preserved in the old coun-
try, and especially in the north Of Switzer-
land. In this country the cemetery, especi-
ally In the cities. is situated some distance
from the churches and generally In an out
lying district. In q number of the country
towns, however, the cemetery is alongside
the church.

JERSEY CITY MAN A FoRGER.

A general alarm has been sent out yesterday
by Chief of Police Murphy for the arrest of
Albert Randall of No. % Gregory street. Ran
dali, it is alleged, has uttered forged checks
of the Cox Towing Line of No. l Broadway,
New York, to the extent of a thousand dol
lars, if not more. Randall was employed as
the chief clerk OF the company. General
Manager g. Viking had implicit confidence
in him. About a week ago Randall disap-
peared. At his home nothing was known of
his whereabouts. Manager King. becoming
suspicious. had an examination Of his books
made and the forgeries were discovered.
Randall about ten days ago passed one Of the
forged checks for $50 On William Hotter
mann, a grocer at Morris and Greene streets.
The police believe the man is hiding in New
York. Detectives are IN his track.
