profitably spent in the upbuilding OF
character; in the establishment of
home and in the blessed communion of
a family circle, are now seen charred
and living in tangled mass of hopeless
ruin on barren grounds. What must
be the dreadful thought which courses
through the minds of those who thus
find themselves nearing the threshold
of an early grave without friend or
sufficient funds to fifty bury them among
the respected dead? Still, many are
swiftly travelling down the incline to-
ward an early grave, because they have
chosen crime as their profession in life.
Self reliance and courage repeatedly
urge the criminal onward. Someday,
they imagine, they shall bag their game
and then have plenty funds for life.

They choose crime as profession and

joy all the sweets and comforts found
at the foot of the sacred altar of home.
No one prefers prison cell to home;
no one prefers unceasing sorrow to
eternal happiness; no one prefers the

choose crime as profession and these

THE ABBREVIATION OF LIFE.

Down the incline, swiftly leading to
an early grave, many are travelling, who
have chosen for their profession a life
of crime. Few realize that years spent
in prison drains the system of that
vitality which is so necessary for the
prolongation of life. Blinded by the
greed of gain they ply on in this dark
path of sin until the silvery locks ap-
pear and the face takes on careworn
look; then, and not until then, do they
look backward and with fearful eyes
behold the years of JOY they have lost

NOVEL RULE IN CRIMINAL
PRACTICE.

Judge White, of Pennsylvania, has
taken a step in this court that, II suS-
tanned by the supreme court of that
state, will work a vast and beneficial
change in the administration of the
criminal law, and if found good law IN
Pennsylvania will likely be followed IN
many of the other states. The change
is in this, that, where man is accused
of crime, and is willing to confess to
it in open court, the time of grand
jury shall not be taken up in finding a
bill before his plea of guilty can be
entered, but he or she may come for
ward at once and receive sentence, ac-
cording to the character and degree OF
the crime. Judge White is an able
lawyer and an experienced Judge, and
claims that though the constitution re-
quires that no one charged with crime
can be put upon his or her trial, except
after Indictment by grand jury, this
does not apply, there being no trial, in
the sense of a contest, to ascertain the
guilt or innocence of the party when
confession is made, and, therefore, there
is nothing for the court to do, after
confession, but impose the sentence.
At the first blush there seems good
deal in this way of looking at it, and If
found valid proceeding by the appel
late court, will go far toward reducing
court expenses and delays, and the ex-
penses incident to such delays. The
question, in the form in which it ispre-
sented by Judge White'ssuggestion, has
never been seriously considered by the
legal profession and those interested in
the reduction of court expenses, and In
the desire to avoid unseeming delays in
the disposition of criminal cases, will
be glad to have it affirmed in such a
way as will make it a rule of procedure
hereafter.-St Paul Dispatch.

THE JNTERNATlONA PRIS
on CONGRESS IN PARIS.
A Gathering of Representative
Prison Men from All Parts
of the World.

The quinquennial Worlds Prison
Congress now assembled in Paris is
specially interesting gathering, by rea-
son of the large number and influential
character of its attendance.
Frenchmen, of course, preponderate,
and they include all classes of intel
ligent society. President Faure, with
the Ministers of Justice, of Foreign
Affairs. and of the Interior, and the
Presidents of the Council of Ministers
and of the Chamber of Deputies were
present at the opening sitting in the
great hall Of the Sorbonne.
The number of Russians also at this
congress is striking, and it is not al
together unconnected with the exist
ing feelings of special alliance between
the Governments and peoples of France
and Russia. And it is evident that in
the eyes of the French authorities the
Russian attenderS of the congress are
the chief and foremost of foreign repre-
sentatives. They are headed by the
