Mckinley Voted and Then Went Home
to Receive Reports.
Canton, O., Nov. 3.-The weather to-
day in Canton was beautiful, and a
very heavy vote was polled. At ten
o'clock fully one-half of the registered
voters of the city had cast their bal
lots.
Major Mckinley voted at 8 o'clock
He was accompanied to the polling
place by his brother Abner Quite a
number of voters were around the poll
ing place when Major Mckinley enter
ed the booth. There was no demon
stration of any character.
The major and his brother then drove
back to the candidates residence,
where he spent the day quietly receiv-
ing callers. kilograms of the most en-
couraging nature poured into the Nc
Kinley residence over the special wires
and there were repeated calls for Ma
jor Mckinley over the long distance
telephones. His friends had already
begun to congratulate him.

Mrs. Browns Handsome Gift to the
Cause.
Hartford, Nov. 3.-The directors of
the Connecticut Humane society held
an important meeting yesterday after
noon, at which they authorized the
society's officers to receipt for the lega-
cy left some years ago by Mrs. Anna E.
Brown of Quincy, Ill. The specific gift
of the will was $4,000, and there was
also share in the residuary estate.
The first payment, which will be hand
ed over in a day or two, will be $27 900.
This includes $4,000 out of the residu-
airy. Something like $4,000 additional
is expected later. The society needs all
this and much more money to establish
it upon a solid, self-supporting basis,
but this important addition to its funds
will be Of great assistance

The ladies' vote has attracted ma
tional attention this campaign. 1t has
called forth the vote of many ladies
who perhaps would never care to go to
the polls to cast q vote. The vote was
polled by postal cards and letters sent
to the Postum Cereal Food Coffee Co.
of Battle Creek, Mich, whose office
force have faithful compiled and re-
ported from time to time the progress
of the vote. The deepest interest is
shown by the letters and postals, great
numbers of which express gratitude for
this act which is surely a step towards
the realization of some practical plan
under which one-half of our citizens,
(female though they may be) who are
now denied the elective franchise, can
have the right to say how and by
whom their laws shall be made, their
country governed and their sons and
daughters protected.
An extract from a letter from lady
in Kennebunk, Maine, expresses
thanks for an opportunity to vote;
when woman has the opportunity and
an incentive to engage her mind in af-
fairs which pertain to the welfare and
prosperity of her people and country,
the beings she brings into existence will

life until she has obtained employ
ment.
All the work, of course, is not done
in the shop. Every bit of work
about the prison is done by women.
Men are tabooed. Women may stay
there for years without ever seeing a
man unless it be the warden or a male
visitor, and the latter is as scarce as a
needle in hay stack. The kitchen,
like every other part Of the building, is
a model of cleanliness. 1t is a finer
and cleaner kitchen than the average
big hotel has, and just as much care is
used in preparing the food, which is,
as the law directs, sufficient, whole
some, but inferior"
The women confined in the prison
have one hour of exercise daily. That
is after their work is done in the after
noon. They may not speak to one an
other during the day, but in this hour
they are permitted to run in the yard
and may talk as much as they like.
They play games sometimes, but as "A
rule they spend the hour in walking and
talking. They are all the time under
the eye of women keepers, and cannot
get out of sight even for minute.
They go to their rooms after the eXer-

are nine "lifers"-thet is, nine women
who committed murder and who will
spend their lives in the prison. Others
have sentences ranging from twenty
five years down to one year hanging
over them.
Vanity and a love of luxury, even If
it be crude, are ruling passions among
the prisoners, and Matron Welshe has
created q system which appeals to
these weaknesses and at the same time
works for the betterment of the crimi-
nal. There are substantial reasons
why those in the third grade should
try to get into the second, and why
those in the second should do their ut
most to work up to the first.
There are no cells, properly speak
ing, in the prison. The cells are rooms,
the smallest being about ten feet by
twelve. In the lowest grade the furni-
ture in each room consists of a cot,
with hard straw mattress, that can't
be comfortable to sleep on, but that is
unquestionably more comfortable than
the ordinary state prison bunk. The
food furnished to the prisoners in this
grade is all alike. There is nothing
about the rooms to make them at
trsctive except light and air, and there
is plenty of both. Uniform good be-
havior and industry are the things that
assure promotion from this grade, and

SEX AMONG EMIGRANTS

The publication of articles on the
subject of European immigration into
the republic of Venezuela has called
attention again to one Of the curiosi-
ties Of emigration which has never
been clearly explained and remains,
therefore, something of an enigma. 1t
is we'll know that the foreign immi-
grants into this country from the
northern nations Of Europe-Great
Britain, Germany, Russia and Scandi-
navia-have, like the early colonists
from the same countries, been pretty
evenly divided between the two sexes.
The emigration from the southern
countries of Europe, on the contrary
Spain, Italy, Greece and Portu2al-has
been chiefly male, aud to this fact, per-
haps, more than to any other. is due
the intermarriage of emigrants and
natives in South and Central America,
and the general absence of such mar
riages in North America, particularly
in the United States and Canada. The
emigration from Ireland, for instance,
for many years, has been more largely
made up of female than of male emil
grants, while from Italy, on the other
hand, the proportion for a period of
more than twenty years is, male, 75;
female, 25.
The total number of emigrants to
the United States from 1845, the first
year of large emigration, to 1895, a
period covering half century, was in
excess of 100000, and more than 40
per cent was female, whereas the large
Spanish and Italian emigration to
South America has been almost exclu-
si-ear,y 01ou. ienUe, put cottlnues at
present (the census figures resuming
their old dimensions since the improve
ment of the times), it might be sup
posed that the number of women in
those European countries from which
there is and has been practically no
female emigration, would be much
larger than in those countries which
have suffered a steady diminution
through the emigration of persons OF
both sexes. But the cont rary of this
is shown by the figures of the Altman
ach de Gotha. In Italy, from which
there is very little female emigration,
the number of female inhabitants is
actually less than the male inhabitants
in the ratio of ninety-nine to 100. In
Roumania it is ninety-three to 100. On
the other hand, in Great Britain, from
which the emigration Of women has
been continuous, they outnumber the
men in the proportion of 104 to 100. Ir
all the other countries of Europe from
which there is and has been large
female emigration majority of the in
habitants are women. In Russia the
proportion is 102 women to 100 men, il
Sweden 106 women to 100 men, il
Switzerland 104 women to 100 men, anc

It's a Model Prison for
Hardened Female
Criminals
ALL OFFICIALS ARE WOMEN
The Discipline Is Thorough and Gen.
uine Reformation is Frequently
WOrked.--A Dark Cell
the Punishment

There is band of new women at Au-
burn, N. Y, but the public pays very
little attention to them. They are not
over picturesque, and do not startle
people by doing some dainty thing very
much out Of the ordinary. They don't
wear bloomers, ride bicycles or make
speeches, but they do run jail, and
they run it very we'll, too.
Running Jail is not play, either. 1t
is not made up of hours devoted to de-
lightful gossip or attending fine teas.
The society isn't particularly fine, be-
cause the larger part OF it is composed
of petty and grand larceny thieves, a
number of pickpockets, forgers, biga-
mists, incsndiaries and murderesses.
There are usually from 100 to 125 Of
these in the Jail, and they are there for
committing all kinds of ofenses within
the criminal scope of tough women.
All lcriminologists agree that woman
criminal is a great deal worse than a
man criminal. Briefly, their argument
is based on the fact that femininity
stand upon a higher plane than the
sterner sex, but when it falls it goes
considerably deeper. From this it is
quite easy to understand that the Au-
burn Jail is no Arcadia.
When woman in any part of New
York state has been proven guilty of a
serious crime she is sent to the Auburn
prison. The minor female prisoners so

toughest and most hardened women in
the country are therefore confined at
Auburn, and they are managed by
women. What is more, they are man.
aged so wei, that there are on record
many cases of genuine reformation as
q result of the prison discipline.
The real head of the Auburn prison
is Matron Annie NJ. Welshe. She has
force of women keepers under her,
and she directs the entire management
of the uuruly inmates. Her word is
law, and the system of discipline in
augurated by her works like piece of
machinery. James G. Stout is the
warden of the place, and the only man
connected with it, but be does not in
terfere with the management. He ap-
preciates the good sense displayed by
the women officers and acknowledges
that they can handle the prisoners in
more satisfactory way than men could.
The prison is splendidly adapted for
the purpose for which it is used. 1t is
a stone edifice and stands in a great
yard just back of the Auburn state
prison. The two institutions are sepa-
rated by high stone wall impossible
of scaling and with only one gateway.
That one is only big enough for one
person to pass through at time, and
it is protected by three iron gates at
tended constantly by an armed gate
man.
The grounds connected with the
women's prison are surrounded by
stone wall just like the grounds around
the mems prison. This wall is over
grown with vines. The grounds them
selves are cared for by the women con-
victs. The main entrance to the prison
grounds is protected by high iron
gate. which opens on broad walk,
leading directly to the main entrance

to the prison building. There are few
visitors to the prison, because visitors
ara not encouraged.
Great care is given to classifying the
prisoners to prevent an incorrigible
woman from interfering with the re-
formation of those who evince an in
clination to travel in the right direc-
ton. There is state regulation which
covers this work, and though it is a
dead letter in nearly all the other
penitentiaries because of the over
crowding, it is strictly followed in the
Auburn prison. This ia the way the
regulation reads:
"The superintendent of state prisons
shall direct the classification of pris-
oners into three classes or grades, as
follows: In the first grade shall be in
cluded those appearing to be corrigible
or less vicious than the others and
likely to observe the laws and to main
tain themselves by honest industry
after their discharge; in the second
grade shall be included those appear
ing to be incorrigible or more vicious.
but 80 competent to work and so rea-
sonably obedient to prison discipline
as not seriously to interfere with the
productiveness of their labor or of the
labor of those in company with whom
they may be employed; in the third
grade shall be included those appearing
to be incorrigible or 80 insubordinate
or SO incompetent otherwise than from
temporary ill health as to seriously
interfere with the discipline or pro.
ductiveness of the labor of the prison.
TO comply with this regulation is nc
easy task when prisoners who have
committed all of the gravest crimes

women are up for long terms. There

John d. Rockefeller has not, rather
strangely, the money-making ear. He
has the musical ear in its best form.
There are three Glasses in the musical
ear, namely, the vocalist's, the instru-
mentalist's and the composers. Mr..
Rockefeller has the instrumentalist's
ear, it being broad across the middle.
A broad ear at the middle indicates
mechanical skill, and all performers on
musical instruments should have that
gift. as the work requires more or less
mechanical excellence. In addition
his ear has great vertical depth, the
bell or concha being deep and broad,
making it more sensitive to musisal
sounds.
Reginald De Koven has the compos-
er's ear. Mechanical skill is required
in the composition of music, as we'll as
musical knowledge, although it is of
the theatrical kind instead of the prac-
ticsl. Mr.. De Koven's ear is broad
across the center, is large and what
might be called expressive, as all the
little points are definitely marked.
Nine. Calve has the singers ear, which
differs quite decidedly from the other
musical ears. Her ear is long and mar
row, thin and delicately curved, and
colored exquisiteIy. No mechanical
skill is required in singing, and it ia
natural that there should be absence
of width at the center of Nine. Calves
ears.
There are other kinds of ears which
can be mentioned without going into
personalities, for obvious reasons. The
thief's ear is very wide at the middle,
but it tapers off at such an acute angle
that the bottom of the lobe ends almost
in a point. A sensual nature is in
dicated by large heavy lobe and un-
usual development Of all of the lower
part of the ear. On the other hand,
the intellectual ear is unusually de-
velope at the helix or top.
