-. Nothing can be more pernicj0us or
corrupting," says the Chicago Times.
Herald, ethan the confinement of
youthful offenders in the same prison
with hardened criminals, where social
intercourse cannot be prevented.
From that moment nine out of ten
boys are lost. Fascinated by tales of
adventurous crime, and with little if
any moral sense, their dream thence
forth is to emulate the career of the
criminal heroes whose stories they
have heard. AS for young girls, to
send them to the house of correction
or to the Jail, even for an hour, is to
ruin them forever. There might be
hope for a boy, were it not for the
contamination received from men, but
for girls there is none" And yet here
in New York, adds Home and Coun-
try, some of our new city magistrates
do not hesitate to send young persons
of both sexes to prison on charges of
but little consequence. A young wo-
man of respectable connections took
probably by accident an overdose of
some deadly drug. She was removed
to hospital, and afterwards arraigned
before a magistrate on a charge of at
tempting suicide. She protested in
nocence, and even offered to deposit
large sum of money as bail, but was
committed to jail in default of an
amount that might justly have been
exacted in a case of burglary or high
way robbery. Jail may have meant
ruin for this young woman, as it un-
doubtedly does for thousands of
others, either innocent or guilty of
minor offences, who are railroaded to
prison every year in the city of New
York. First offenders should be leni-
emily treated, especially when they
are young. The courts should be SO
conducted as to reform AMI not to
manufacture criminals.

Meeting of Supreme Council Of In-
spectors General in Washington.
The supreme council of the Inspec-
tors General of the thirty-third de-
gree, ancient and accepted Scottish
rite of free masonry in the southern
jurisdiction of the United States,

began a biennial session at the house
of the temple at Washington, d. c.,
Monday, and will remain N session a

The Lieutenant and acting grand
commander, Thomas Hubbard Case
well, of California, presided. The
first business of Importance was the
election of a grand commander to sue
coed the late Philip @. Tucker, Of
Texas, who died in the house of the
temple about year ago.
The question of merging the south

was agitated for some time after the
death of Albert Pike, will not be-
brought up at this session.

A citizen Of the United States who
has recently been abroad says: Sim
agine city in which every street is
well paved and every pavement keot
IN perfect repair; every street and
alley in the city sprinkled and swept
every day; all ashes and garbage re-
moved every day; street railroads
carrying passengers for two cents, and
and one line as low as one cent, and
yet paying royalties to the city sufi-
Gent to maintain the pavements; gas
furnished at such low rates that the
poorest tenements are well lighted and
many even heated with it. These
things are SO surprising that most the
people will think that they can only
be had in the end of the next century,
when the world has grown much wiser
and new inventions have made all
work easier and cheaper. Yet the city
of Glasgow has them all now. The
explanation is that the city has "a
good and progressive government,
that the best men accept and hold Of
flee, and that the affairs of the city
are administered for the public good
and not for private gain, or for the
promotion of political ends"

adopted:
Whereas, Free citizens of the state
of Delaware, we are in mass meeting
assembled for the purpose of voicing
our sympathy with the struggle of the
people of the island of Cuba for indie
pendence and self-government.
Whereas, The history of the pres
ent and all former revolts of Cuba
from the rule of Spain shows that the
attempts of the Spanish government
to retain its dominion of that island
are marked by such cruelties and in
humanities as are not by the laws of
nations permitted or practiced in civ

"Resolved, That we extend to the
Cubaps now in revolt our full and sim
cere sympathy with their present con-
test for political freedom. That as
free citizens of free country, in ex-
ercise of our right of petition and in
the name of humanity, we respectful
ly ask our national government, as
soon as it is consistent with interna-
tional obligation, to recognize the Gu
ban revolutionists as belligerents, to
the end that a recognized status OF
belligerency may appeal to the COM
mon judgment Of the civilized world
for mitigation of the merciless char
acter OF the warfare waged against
! Them"

Favors the Canal Project.
It is understood in Washington that
the report Of the engineer commission,
which visited Nicaragua last summer,
will favor the construction of an in
ter-oceanic canal, but that it will not
recommend the entire route already
surveyed and upon which it is
claimed that work costing in the
aggregate several millions of dollars
has been performed. 1t is also believed
that the commissioners will fix the cost
of the canal at much greater sum than
that estimated by the Maritime Canal
Company, whose charter it is propos-
ed that the government shall purchase.
1t is expected that the commissioners
report will claim that the waterway
cannot be built and the harbors on the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts be placed
in proper condition for a sum much
less than 500, 100000.
Morgan Line Steamships Withdrawn.
The state department has received
from b. b. Seal, United States consul

report relative to the withdrawal of
the Morgan Line steamships from that
port which shows that the Morgan
company was not satisfied with its
treatment 10y the Nicaraguan govern
ment. Mr.. Seal learned from the
agent Of the company at Blue
fields that after the company
had rendered a prompt steam SER
vice between Bluefelds and New Or
leans for eight years, and after having
contributed so literally to the develop
ment of trade and improvement of the
country, the government of Nicaragua
had manifested a want of appreciation
of its efforts, and that in view of the
oompany's losses on fruit during the
past year, the company thought it
best to withdraw its ships and seek
service where it can secure greater
encouragement and have the prospect
of adequate remuneration for service
rendered.

WAS A ONE-SIDED COMBAT
The COwed and Beaten Lion Killed by
q Steer
Some Very Cory and Cruel Sport Pulled off
in . Mexican City-No Chance for
the King of Beasts

NEW YORK, May GA special to the
World from Monterey. Tex. says: Par
nell, the man-eatng lion, was killed here
in the bull-ring last night by a Mexican
bull. The contest between the bull and
the lion was witnessed by 1000 persons.
1t was thoroughly brutal affair. Parnell
fought bull here two weeks ago. getting
rather the worst of the battle. Last night,
instead of meeting the bull in its first
mad dash, as it was expected he would,
he turned to one side and avoided him
again and again. The bull continued on
the offensive, but the lion never returned
the attack, except when the closeness of
the combat was such that he could not
avoid it. Twice he made vicious grabs at
the bovine's nose. so that it was strea m
ing wi tn blood, though the blood was
due in part to the bull dashing his nose
on the ground in attempts to get his
horns low enough to toss his adversary.
The one-sided combat lasted one hour.
The lions injuries must have been inter-
nal, as, Notwithstanding the terrible toss
ing he received, his tough hide did not
seem to have been punctured by the
bulls horns.
Colonel Boone, the owner of the lion,
has received number of off ers for Par
nell s hide, but 1t is probab lie that local
official of Monterey will stuff and pre-
serve it.

killed his keeper at the Midw inter fair in

THE "BIG FOUR" EXECUTORS
Setback for the Contestants in the Fair
Will Case
A Ruling by a Judge-The Stolen Testamen;
VIII Be Produced for Probate-The
Craven Will Comes Second

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.-In the fight
for the Fair millions the Big Four execu-
tors of the first will which so myster-
iously disappeared from the county clerks
Office, will have a decided advantage.
Superior Judge Slack today ruled that
the stolen will must be disposed of before
the later will, produced by Mrs. Nettie
Craven, can be considered. The first will
filed will, therefore, be the first consid-
cred. This is considered matter of great
Importance to the proponents. for the tao
tics of the Fair children were to evade
the forfeiture clause in the first will BY
supporting the second. the provisions of
which are more to their liking.
The decision giving priority to the
probating of the first filed will was an un-
expected blow to the children, who had ex-
pected that the Craven will would take
precedence because of it's later date.
The petition for probate Of the first will
will be heard on Wednesday, when it is
supposed the attorneys for the Fair chill
dren will present their written grounds
of opposition. Then it is understood the
attorneys for the executors will protest
against the considering of this opposi-
tion, on the ground that the time for fl
ing the contest has elapsed, that point
having been allowed to pass in the efforts
to secure recognition for the Craven will.
