New Haven.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, May 25.-The first
regular session of the national conference
of charities and corrections opened at 0
o'clock this morning in Alumni Hall of
Yale University. Robert Treat Paine of
Boston presided, and the meeting was de-
voted to hearing reports from the states.
The first report read was by Sheldon
Jackson of Alaska, but was read by Fl. H.
Hart, the corresponding secretary of the
conference. 1t dealt largely with the ques-
tion of intemperance, which prevails to an
alarming extent. The natives are poor and
are subjected to many privations. There
is no systematic method of caring for the
poor, the insane, or the deaf or blind.
John E. Coffin Of Whittier, Cal, said the
state legislature had passed a commend
able act, forbidding the sale of cigarettes.
j. H. Gabriel of Colorado bore especially
hard on Colorado politics, and made the
statement that that state is more COM
pietely subject to the evils of the spoils
system than any state in the Union.
Col. John Tracey, superintendent of char
tiles at Washington, d. c., spoke of the
work there, stating that it is well done,
supported by the government and the peo-
pie take great interest in it.

WINS Not Deaf and Dumb.

A respectfully dressed young man, who
gave his name as Charles Schneider, was
a prisoner in Judge Kimball's court this
morning, charged with being a suspicious
person. When the man was arraigned he
pretended that he was deaf and dumb, but
soon after the trial started it was apparent
that he was not deaf, and witnesses tes-
titled that he was not dumb. Schneider
had appeared at several houses in South
Washington and begged for articles of
clothing At one house he presented a
Iote and, thinking the lady was slow at
reading the contents of it, he grabbed it
from her hand, and said, You can't read"
He wanted a pair of boots.
Judge Kimball heard the proof, and in
formed the man that he was shamming.
He was sent down for sixty days in de-
fault of security.
