HOLY-sPIHIT CONVENTION.
The Object Explained Ivy Mr. Daugb-
crty-Committccs Appointed.

\
The movement for a convention here
| in June to consider the peculiar place of
the Holy Spirit in the Christian life
may now be said to be fairly under way.
| Definite action in the matter was taken
at the meeting Of those interested, held
| yesterday afternoon in the Young Mems
| Christian Association parior.
| After remarks by Rev. W. IL. Williams
| and others Rev. Mr.. Daugherty stated
! that the two most important matters be-
! fore the meeting were the arrangement
| OF committees TO take in charge the trans
portation and entertainment Of visitors
| and TO arrange for the speakers and pro-
gramme. In reference 10 this last feature.
| Mr. Daugherty stated that IL was the in
| tention 10 confine the list of those who
| should address the convention to men
| in whose teachings the churches have con-
| fidcnce. Among those whom ii Is hoped
will take part are Moody. Pierson. Tor
| rey. 4. c. Dixon, and Mr.. Cutter, VINO has
| charge Of the FultOn-Street Prayer Meet
| ing New York. The names Of several
prominent Richmond ministers have also
been suggested.
OBJECT OF THE CONVENTION.
The idea OF the convention, he said.
was not so much to indoctrinate as 10
consider the practical bearings OF the
| subject upon the Christian life; not TO
discuss controverted theological questions.
but 10 seek the milling and uplifting
influences OF the Holy Spirit for the in
dividual believer. Much good, too, he be-
leved would result from the bringing to-
| gether of so many ministers and lay
men who. though separated by distance
and UNCONVENTIONAL barriers, heartily
| loved one another.
After prayer, led by Rev. DR.. John X.
| Mason, for the guidance of the Spirit.
the following committees were appointed.
Committee on Transportation and En-
McBain, ]. II. L. Burroughs, II. Il. Wal
| thall.
Ladies Auxiliary Committee on Enter
tainment.-Mrs. Il. o. Keesee. Miss Lou
Stringfellow. Miss Virginia Jones, Mrs.
j. i. +. Burroughs, Mrs. W. b. Will
liams Mrs. William McBain, Mrs. n.
G. Shelton, Mrs. T.. l. Waterbury, and
| Mrs. Mary +. c. Mickle.
Committee on Programme and Speak
| ers.-D Il Strouse. Of Salem; j. NJ. Gam
bill, OF Roanoke: Rev. DR.. George Cooper
and Rev. John W. Daugherty.
1t was decided that these committees
should be left open for further increase
in their membership as occasion might
| require.
Ii is proposed 10 get UP a choir OF Sc
| veral hundred voices for the convention.
There will be another meeting OF those
| interested in the movement on next Mon
day afternoon in the same place.

 How about escapes from prisonP"
 A curious fact has come to light in regard Go that matter. As you know, penitentiaries and jails are built on strictly hygienic principles. Great care must be taken to see that the plumbing, the cellars, the drainage, and so forth, are in good condition. The cost of in- suring health in prison is enormous. Naturally, the architecture of the place must have special reference to these conditions. Now, oddly enough, this very fact puts great facilities in the way of the prisoner for escaping. In nearly every case of the kind it is found that some peculiarity in the con struetion of a jail has aided eonvict's flight should it take place. The water pipes have been got at The cement was loosened. The cell adjoined cis- tern, Or the door was directly under a boiler for steam heating It is likely that architects, having been enjoined to insure health and solidity in the con struction of the jail, have not been per- mitted to guard against escape. But prison is first a place to keep men in notwithstanding their ardent wish to get out. Our later prisons are some- what improving in this respect. It seems to me that prison architecture is in a somewhat unadvanced state
 Theacting chief has had very thrilling adventures in the course of his career with prisoners who wanted to get away from him. He had been shot at more than hundred times. Once he deliber- ately cut his own neck with penknife and fell as if dead to the floor to con vince two prisoners he had been shot and killed. He lay for an hour pros ] trated and suddenly sprang up and dis armed his captive, who was waiting to steal ride On a freight train
 When asked for some experience of his own, he spoke of a strange escape through the aid of hypnotisrn. It was that of an English forger who hypno- tized two detectives who had charge Of | him and bade them release him, which | they did. The man fled to this country and wasscaught by Conlin, upon whom | he una ayailingly sendeavored to exert his power ksk az4 EAM4 .s4-

Ribbon trimmings for dresses are very daintily arranged in loops, bows, knots and rosettes. convenient way of making these is to sew them firmly upon bit of silk of the same color, sufficiently large to attach one or more safety pins, according to the size of the loop or rosette. These pins are sewed over and over to the edge of the silk backing. When worn they are simply pinned upon the dress, and can be re- moved at moments notice and with out disturbing anything. In addition to this, the ribbon or velvet is not dis figured by pin-holes and spoiled, as is so often the case, after two or three wearings. Little economies of this sort are evidences of good sense. It is needless, impractical and extrava- gant woman who sticks pins in a new place every time she puts on her hats or her ribbons.
 A quaint and pretty waist is of black glaee silk, with very large puffed sleeves. collar, square yoke and shoulder ruf1les are made of the finest, sheerest white linen lawn, with real Valenciennes lace around the edge of the ruffle. The yoke portion is shir- red from side to side on the draw strings, and bands of velvet, with rosettes at either side, cover the shir- rings.-N. Y. Ledger.

all over the country for the purpose ot
 inaugurating reforms in the mode o4
 dealing with the question.
 Not man in the country has studied
 this matter in all it's bearings more
 carefully than Acting Chief Conlin of
 the New York police department Con-
 lin's ambition, as is we'll known, is to
 obtain the succession to the great
 Byrnes. Conlin is now on probation
 and the work he has been doing in his
 arduous office is positively brilliant.
 He is at his desk early and late. No
 detail escapes his wary eye. But there
 is no line of detective work in which he
 has proved more successful than in
 eluding the stategic ingenuity of criminals. No evil-doer has ever es- capped from Conlin. More than that,
 he has been instrumental In effecting the capture of over dozen famed black legs who fled to this country from Europe at different times. The head of Scotland Yards detectives sent per sonal letter to Conlin a few years ago thanking him for the invaluable service he had rendered that institution in h. criminals Gonlin enjoys the soubriquet of fthe trailer" owing to his unerring capacity in this respect.
 The acting chief is a remarkably self contained and cool man. He is easy to talk to, buthe has way of using speech to conceal his thoughts. It is probably the destiny of Conlin to become the greatest police official in the world He has whole library of literature per taining to his life work. There never lived great criminal catcher from Vibert to Byrnes whose career Conlin has not studied. Conlin has also in- vented various appliances for insuring the detection of evil-doers which are in successful operation. He devised code of police secret signals at present in use in this country and Scotland. To him is due the credit of having first successfully applied the Bertillon sys- tenn of identifying criminals in this country.
 "There is always something thrill ing about the escape of criminal" ]" he said in reply to a question put to him about the interest now manifested in the subject. Police officials are supposed to be vigilant, and if con vict gets away from them it argues in- genuity on the latter's part Asa, mat ter of fact, the criminal is very much like Tartar You can usually catch him. The trouble is to keep him. The average person may think 1t an easy. natter for the police to hold prisoners safely. But consider a moment how many opportunities the convict has. He must travel in some cases a long

papers to quote from = the Cornell Widow, the Phillips Andover Mir TOT, the U. of M Wrinkles, and ever so many more. It cannot be too strongly insisted upon that the sereeds and pictures in these papers are all the work of students. The men who day in and out are accused of idleness, lack of brain, originality and ambition because they go in" for sport, manage to show the brightest of human qualities-wit. Many of the men get their life bent in this way and graduate into editorial chairs and even into literature
 Sometimes it is quite drain upon students purses to maintain these sheets. Yet the burdenis Loyalty borne. Every university takes pride in the ''pape.a All the bright things the stu dents say turn up in it.
 The spirit displayed in the editorials is always the most commendable. III nature is rarely manifested.

distance to the place of his incarcera- tion. Rarely are there more than two men to guard him. There must be some sleep allowed the captors now and then. The criminal must be unman- acled to eat. Again he cannot be taken about in public without attracting some attention. You never know when pal is about. An expert criminal will follow a convict partner for days await ing an opportunity to render assist ance.- Therefore, detective should be suspicious of everyone when travelling with prisoner. The latter is most dangerous on fast moving trains. He will not hesitate to leap from an ex- press and trust to luck if he gets a chance. Feigning illness is seldom re- sorted to-"
 The acting chief was asked for details concerning the new code of the coun- try's leading heads of police depart ments. This arrangement is an elab- crate device for hedging travelling criminals about and under it's provisions special watches are to be quietly sta tioned at termini and other places to secretly inspect the behavior of detec- tives in charge Of evil doers. But Mir. Conlin was very evasive about this.
 "0ne cause for the escapes we hear so much about" he proceeded, is the parsimony of appropriations for the transportation of prisoners. Sometimes only one man accompanies criminal, and he is not always well provided in case of an emergency. The practice of conveying convicts long distances is bad one anyhow. It is altogether too prevalent. Another mistake is intrust- ing dangerous criminals to inexperi- enced men. There exists at this time sort of fraternity among criminals to bunco detectives out of captured breth- ren. A file can be slipped to him. The detectives attention can be att tracted in different ways Stopping at hotels is frequently necessary, but dan gerous. At the same time, escapes are comparatively infrequent. This is proved by the ado made over an escape when one takes place. I think it may be set down as certainty that the ex- perienced detective will not lose his prisoner. In the larger cities you rare ly hear of the local force losing a man. It IS always the inexperienced who are

JAPANESE BEARS.

The Animals Are Large and Very
 Ferocious.
 Japan i5 a country which will yet re- ceive q good deal of attention from the sportsman tourist Salmon streams are abundant and populous, and in the northern island of Yezo enormous bears are very plenty. These the Amos kill with small arrowheads dipped in aconite. These arrows are shot by hand or from spring gun traps, of whose presence travellers are warned by 2 kind of T, or wooden cross.
 Japanese bears are of colors ranging from brown or black to the yelIowish white characteristic of the so-called polar bear. Their fur is thick and fine and as for the size of the beasts, certain stuffed specimens in the museums of Tokio and Sapporo are of unprec- edented size, One of these fellows, even larger than an American grizzly, killed ten horses, and was at last shot down by soldiers hidden in trees. The contents of the stomach of one of the bears, including the mangled body of baby, are preserved in alcohol at Sap poro
 Because of the bears, it is the custom of Japanese guides and travellers, when passing through the forests, to keep up a fierce and continuous yelling to scare away the bears. They have never been, until recently, much hunted with fire arms, and ought to be fairly easy to bag. Probably American hunters will soon be experimenting with them.

Old Rip Van Wrinkle went up into the Catskill mountains to take a little nap of twenty years or so, and when he wakened he found that the cruel war was over. J the monthly magazines had fought it over" the second time and blown up all the officers that had participated in it. This much is history, and it is also an hfs- to1fcal /act that, it took the same length of time, for Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery to become the most celebrated. as it is the most effective, Liver, Blood and Lung.

are lawbreakers who are compara- lively indifferent to capture This is because they are born strategists and feel certain of ultimately getting away, no matter how many times they are caught. This matter of escaping is, in truth, now distinct problem in po- lice matters. It is pretty well under stood by all detectives by this time that compact has been formed among the leading criminals to come to each others aid in the event of the appre- hension of one of their number Moth ing is easier than the formation of such a clique, and it's successful operation is equally feasible. Once a criminal is captured provided he be notorious character, his movements are matter of current history. He is escorted to and from court or jail in the most pub- lie manner. He is taken aboard trains, boats street ears. He and his captors become component elements in throngs amid which the evil-doer's pals are on the alert, ready to render instant aid in the event of evasion.
 It must be admitted, too, that the custodians of convicted criminals are ct times very careless in taking care of them. Recent events make the cita- tion of instances superfuous. Much has been said i1 condemnation of this state of things, but nothing as yet has come to light with reference to the concerted action of police officials
