suffering in the District 1t may give little
employment to a few men and boys in

From the Popular Health Magazine
A writer who is disc ussing the question
Of drinking and total abstinence from a
practical business point of view, ignoring
the moral and sentimental side, says:
Life insurance companies find the moder-
ate drinker n more dangerous risk and his
mortality greater, hence refuse to insure
him at ordinary rates, or at all. Mercan-
tile agencies find that business con-
Quoted by moderate drinkers is more pre-
carious and followed by a greater num-
Der of failures, hence rate such firms low
as to responsibility. Railroad companies
find that accidents and losses increase
under the care of moderate drinkers; that
the income and stability of the road are
diminished compared with the same serv-
ice by total abstainers. Capital every
where discovers by figures and statistics,
which have no other meaning, that under
the care and control of moderate or ex-
cessive drinkers the losses, perils and risks
of business are increased.

PHOENIX, AriZ., December 2G.-Several
prisoners confined in the county Jail here
escaped and have not been recaptured.
Among the number is William Price, under
conviction for murder and sentenced to
be hanged in February next. A strange
thing connected with the delivery is that
no one can give the number of prisoners
who got away, and outside of Price no
names given. The officer who had
charge of the Jail is in pursuit.

friend" would be difficult. Mrs Miller's
work has not been entirely confined TO pris.
ons and iails She is well known in the hos
pitfalls. where she has worked faithfully.
She has gone among the slums and by force
of moral suasion, in which she has the great
est faith, she has sought ont girls and put
them in the way Of better lives.
Mrs. Miller is the pioneer prison reformer
of America. and for 40 years she has been
engaged in the work. In St. Louis in 1854,
when she was scarcely 20 years old, young
man with whose parents she was very well
acquainted was sentenced to a term In the
penitentiary for larceny She knew him 10
be innocent, but despite all effort he was
taken to jefferson City. Mrs Miller drew
mp a petition, took IL from house TO house
in St. Louis and obtained many signatures.
Then she conveyed it to the state capital
and laid it before the governor. Her first
effort was successful. This experience with
criminals interested her in the cause.
Spurred ON by success, she determined "a
devote herself To work in the prison. She
studied out the question on two lines-that
poverty would diminish with crime and
with IL suffering; that the redemption OF
the hardened from their ways and the turn.
ing back OF the tyrO in crime to the beaten
path was the only true kind Of charity.
After long work IN St. Louis Mrs. Mil.
Ter moved TO Davenport. Ia, where she
lived until she went 20 Chicago in 1882
Her fame had spread, and she held place
of honor among philanthrOpists. Thefirst
work Mrs. Miller did after she moved to
Chicago was 70 begin an investigation OF
the peniteutiary at Joliet. She called 10 the
minds Of the people the iniquity Of the
prison whipping post. Public opinion was
aroused, and the whipping post was Danish
cd. Prison reform began in earnest. The
work did not stop with prisons, but went
TO the lockups and jails.
Mrs. Miller does not believe in punish
ment for crime and calls the prison and the
jail schools of crime aud the alma matters
of burglars and murderers. "Of course,
she says, there are some men who are
vicious and a menace to society, and some
thing should be done with them. Society
has TO be protected; | appreciate that In
zane asylums are humane and worthy in
stitutions. | believe that penitentiaries
make more crime. The more that crime is
Haunted before the eyes Of women and
children, the more occasion there will be
for punishment. Crime transmits itself
What we ought to do is TO restrain and
educate our criminal class. Prison disci-
pline is worth more thousand times than
the grated cells the high walls and the
prison guards"
