KLEPTOMANIACS

One hundred thousand dollars, a place
in seemingly swelled aristocratlc So
c1ety and ever ready to grab valuables
in sight, are necessary qualifications OF
a successful kleptomaniac. Without
these, person, in the eyes OF the law,
is a thief. No one seems to have
stopped to consider this thoroughly,
vet the truthfulness of the above as
sertion soils the purity Of our laws the
world over. On the one hand, we see
young lady of-supposed-high char
acter, daughter of wealthy parents,
going into store and, when the oppor-
tunity presents itself, she innocently
and without any intent whatever to do
wrong or of violating any law, steals
diamond ring worth perhaps one
hundred dollars. AS luck has it she IS
detected, but on account OF her re-
spectacle parents and their money con-
siderations, she is released without the
slightest blame or blemish to her pure,
unsoiled reputation. On the other
hand, poor young lady, also OF re-
spectacle parents and of pure character,
is caught stealing a pair OF gloves
which she was in need of and unable
to buy. Is she, too, released and un-
blamed because of her respectable
parents and because her assistance at
home may be an absolute necessity?
She appears before police Judge TO
whom she tells her pitiful story OF
want. but his "honor'' has forgotten
his ear-trumpet, and consequently
hears but little of her tale OF woe.
With an air of universal authority he
REPLIES: Thirty dollars or thirty days
in the work-house," and with this the
curtain drops and the first act of the
drama has closed. With cry OF des-
pair this unfortunate falls to the floor,
conscious of the stigma now attached
to her blasted reputation. She is a
thief: the other a kleptomaniac. Where
is that Justice which should be meted
out alike, regardless of person or stand
a ing? Again, echo answers, 'where? :? "

DISTRICT CONVEN-

II. u. OF STILL
WATER
CLEAR AND CONCISE STATE
MENT OF THE SUBJECT.

Prison management has undergone
many changes for the better in the last
few wears. Students of penOlOgy, as
whole. have taken more active IN
terest in the progress of reformatory
measures. This is evidenced by the
advanced thoughts expressed on prison
reform at each recurring session OF the
National Prison Congress. 1t is gen
orally admitted that good discipline is
the most important factor in the
proper administration of prison.
Without it the fundamental principles
of all true reform are wanting. "A
loose disregard of moral responsibility,
intemperance with all its kindred evils,
and habitual idleness generally go be-
fore and most always lead into crime.
A system of discipline that will tend to
eradicate these distempers is vitality
necessary to successful treatment.
Prison discipline, in order to be re-
formatory, in effect, must be enforced
without harshnesS but with tlrmneSS
and impartiality. Individual respon-
sibility should be so firmly established
as to make lasting impression upon
the mind of the wrong-doer. He
should be made to feel and to under
stand the meaning of the word liberty
with all its manifold blessings. Under
it's guiding influence the prisoner should
be required to LABOR diligently; to be
cIeanly and orderly in his habits: to be
mindful of and kindly disposed toward
his fellow prisoners; to be habltually
watchful and discreet at his labor and
in his studies. Physical and mental
tasks should be resorted to when nee
essary to bring out diligent and in
dustrious effort. A rigid course OF
schooling should be invariably given t(
the illiterate, with such library pro
visions for all as will tend to elevate
and direct their minds to highe
plane.
The essence of all government is il
the good it yields to It's governed mem
bers. Prison government, like a.
governments, should be establishe
with view of yielding the creates
good to the largest number. Its law
should be rational and humane, neve
arbitrary or capricious. Its law
should be firmly enforced, but wit
such spirit Of fairness as to gain tn
good will and loyal support of all il
we'll disposed members. No govern
ment is safe without the support of i
best citizens. No prison governme1
is safe without the support of its be
prisoners. Prison government th
does not have the support of the we
disposed prisoners is a lamentab
failure. The grading and parole sy
tenn, under proper disciplinary ma
agement, opens up field in prise

CHINESE COMPANY MUST GO,
Board of Fire Commissioners Have
So Declared.
Chief Hunt win Serve Written Notice
the Company to Vacate On
Monday-EnGine Station.

According to instructions from
the Board of Fire Commissioners
Chief Hunt will serve written notice
this morning on Chang Kim, fore
man of China Engine Company
No. 5, to vacate their premises on
Monday, the 18th.
Considerable improvements will
have to be made in the building
before it is ready for occupancy.
Stalls will be put in, and the pre-
misses wired for electric lighting.
When these changes have been
effected, the chemical engine and
team, with an engineer, hoseman
and assistants will be transferred
from 2 Engine. The station will
be known as Chemical No. 1.
The Chinese company naturally
do not feel pleased over their
dismissal. They claim to have
done all in their power to save pro-
perty. The only portion of the out
fit now in use that belongs to the
company is back number hand
engine. Just what disposition will
be made of this is not known, but
it is likely it will be turned over to
the Government for storage.

Los Angeles Theater.-Next Thursday
evening comes the Whitney Opera Com
pany. The stage pictures of The Fencing
Master are inspired by an effort to give
to the opera its true italian setting. The
scene painting is all that could be de-
sired. The first scene. which is in Milan,
reveals a large and imposing view of the
celebrated cathedral. In the second
scene. a view of some of the most mag
niticent of the Venetian palaces is shown,
beyond middle ground of deep, blue
sea. The last scene shows an Italian
villa.
Miss Dorothy Morton is the chief at
traction OF the performance. She presents
the leading soprano character, Francesca,
the fencing master. Miss Morton is as
graceful and as trim in outline as Vene-
tan vase. She possesses in full degree all
the personal charms required for success
in this character. Beyond this, she is an
accomplished singer and careful artist.
Her voice is clear, full. flexible, of great
range, and perfectly under control. 1t
comes forth with delightful ease, but it
fills all the house with melody.
The chorus is well trained and the cos
tunes are very pretty. The music Of this
opera is deservedly popular.

SUSPENDED ANIMATION

Little Joseph Orr still lies in his home,
No. 2S4 Twenty Second street, Brooklyn,
in the trance or comatose condition,
which puzzles the physician who has his
case in charge, says the New York World
of Wednesday. Since Saturday, when he
was found near his home with both feet
nearly frozen off and his mind a blank,
he has remained in sort of hypnotic
dream, with his senses at a standstill and
many of the physical functions totally
suspended. What happened to him dur
ing the two days and nights following
his strange disappearance Thursday noon
remains a profound mystery.
Little Joe is II years old, and was a
choir boy at st. Francis Xavier's Church
and a member OF st. Aloysius' Society.
At Public School No 40 on Fifteenth
street and Fourth avenue, Brooklyn, his
record was good, and only on one occa-
sion previous to Thursday was he sus-
pected of playing truant. AT noon that
day, however, he left as usual to 60 home
to lunch. Two companions panied
him-one as far as Twentieth street, the
other to Twenty-First street. He was
within two blocks of home but, although
a general alarm was sent out, not a trace
of him was found until Saturday at 3 80
pm, when his little six-year-old sister
Tootsie and her friend, Elsie Allison,
found him, dazed and staggering, at the
corner OF Fourth avenue and Twenty
Second street, in Brooklyn. They led
him home. and at that time he was just
able to give the following consecutive ac-
count Of his adventures:
81 left school at IL O'Clock and came
along Fourth avenue with two boys. l

and l turned up Twenty second street.

lie applied last night p cauterizing bat
terry to all parts of his bony. The white
hot iron caused slight muscular move
ments in all places but on the feet. These
appeared to be practically dead. They
were pierced with needles to no purpose.
The experiments with the battery even
seemed to convey no impression to the
comatose brain. DR.. Ferchland said to q
World reporter who was presents
1t is impossible to correctly diagnose
this extraordinary case at present. The
boy is in trance or hypnotic state of
some sort, but from what it arises l do
not yet care to definitely say. Is it due
to shock2 Is it due to previous dis
turbance OF the boys mind leading him
to wander off and receive these terrible
frost bites, or are the frozen limbs with
consequent Inflammation, the active cause
OF the mental paralysis? l am not yet
able to tell. The usual course of severe
freezing OF limbs is Inflammation, gan
creme and amputation. Here we have very
little Inflammation, and cases of this kind
are so rare that the faculty have very
little record of their developments.
n For the first day or two his pulse was
very feeble and erratic. He had practic-
ally no regular pulsation at all. This
morning the pulse was feeble, but fairly
regular at forty-eight to the minute. To-
night it beats at ninety-four. This seems
t. indicate approaching Inflammation. His
t temperature is normal. There is no brain
fever. 1t is certainly very extraordinary
case, and the boy may be in hypnotic
trance. He has no control over his
muscles whatever. What has produced
this strange result is impossible at pres
ent to definitely decide. Should gangrene
appear, which is likely, it will be i'm
perative that his feet be amputated.
Detectives were at the house yesterday,
and every effort is being made to clear up
the mystery and ascertain what terrible
experience little Joe Orr underwent dur
ing the time he was entirely lost to sight.

to laying the charge OF the problem c:
evil all to intellect, and arguing that the
instinct OF the animal innocence Is better
than reason, we prefer to turn to J. q.
HOLLANDS view, which is, II we quote
correctly:
"God asks for virtue, not for innocence.
He asks for virtue, and that IL may live.
1t must resist and that which 1t reslsts
must live. "
We don't deny that the lower animal
creation can teach us some things. We
don't by any means claim TO be all right.
even with our superior reason. But we
do claim that we are a long way nearer to
il than we were in the anthropoid stage.
And, anyway, what is the use, and how
much right has one to pour forth 200 pages
Of inky pessimism? The worse men are
the more they need to be shown the good !;
and the better they are the less use they
have for pessimism. So, good or evil, we
really don't need the sinister novel.
