familiar friendships of many Of our
national statesmen who upon the floors
OF Congress declaim against the party
wrongs of an opponent and perhaps
arraign the opponent in the most
severe terms in public to meet in most
cordial fellowship in private. Nor is
this deceit. 1t is statesmanship. The

the truth without malice, to tell the
whole truth in plain and unmistakable
English, and to show generous spirit
by non-reference to unpleasant mis-
takes when the evidence of conviction

PRISON REFORM

u. Grosvener Dave, a pedestrian
representative of the Review of Revie,os
whose peripatetic wanderings in Della
ware are not unknown to the readers OF
the TRANSCRIPT, had an interesting
article on the workings of the Maryland
fenltentlary in the Delawarean on
Saturday. The institution has ZIG
prisoners and it claims to have been
more than self-supporting for the past
five years, netting last year $11, ,345 "A
over expenses, and in the five years
past S26,05O. The prisoners are re-
quired to dotwo-thirds or three-fourths
work and are paid for all overtime.
Last year they had to their credit
SlO, ,23O, or trifie less than fifteen
dollars to each of the inmates, which
is no trifie to the convict when he OBJ
tains his freedom.
Mr.. Dave makes some comparisons
with the Delaware system or rather
lack of system, not at all compliment
tary to the powers that be in this
State. The Dela,oarean in comment
ing on the article says:
"In Delaware we have the misfor-
tune OF a most wretched system. The
maintenance of convicts at the public
expense in enforced idleness is an un-
just burden upon the people and also a
calamity to the criminals, Good
public policy demands that they should
be employed at some useful labor. In
this way they might not only earn their

Skating Is The
Fad OF The Hour
Old and Young Have Taken to That
lnvigorating Pastime.
THE SCENES AT THE ICE Kinks
They Are Crowded Nightly with All Kinds
and Conditions OF Humanity-H
Rare Sport for Many but Is
Open to Abuses.
rM SCENES AT THE ICE RINkS

Never before In the history Of Scran-
ton did ice skating have so firm hold
on the people of this city as this
year. 1t is the fad, the craze and its
popularity can only be compared to
roller skating when that pastime was
at the zenith Of it's greatness. In those
days boys and girls, men and maidens
spent their afternoons and evenings in
shooting about the smooth floors of
barn-like structures. Now the children,
young people and many who ceased to
be young years ago, sling their ice
skates over their shoulders and HE
themselves to some convenient sheet Of
Ice, where they spend hours gliding
about the frozen surface. This year
there has been ample opportunity for
skating, which accounts in measure
for the popularity it has attained. For
nearly two months there has been good
ice-making weather almost continuous
ly, and aside from the favor with which
those who arrange the weather have
looked upon skating there are better
facilities this year than ever before for
that diversion.
New Form of Investment.
Enterprsing capitalists have discov-
cred that Ice rinks can be made very
profitable, and therefore have expended
their money to arrange suitable places
for the ice skaters to indulge in their
favorite pastime. At first the number
of skaters Seen on the ponds about the
city were few, but the fad spread like
an epidemic. and now any afternoon or
evening a myriad of tyros can be seen
on the ponds or rinks desperately en-
deavoring to acquire even a small de-
gree of grace on the little steel blades.
Many find no difficulty in mastering the
skates, but others present sorry spec
tacle, one ludicrouS in the extreme.
There Is no posture that d corpulent
woman can assume quite 50 ungraceful
as that when writhing about vainly en-
deavoring to keep an upright position
on pair of skates that manifest a
perverse disposition to lay her on ice.
Yet the corpulent girls and women don
the skates, thereby relegating to OBJ
liVion the belief that a woman Will
make any sacrifice rather than appear
ungraceful.
Where Skoters Are Found.
Every portion of the city has its fav-
orite skating ground. West Side peo-
pie affect the Little Woods pond, while
