NEW YORK, June 1.-THE Her
aid this morning says: j. Pier
pont Morgan, looking particularly
well after his visit to London, ar
rived home on board the steam
ship Teutonic. He was met down
the bay by his yacht, the Corsair,
which accompanied the liner to its
pier at the foot Of Christopher
street, where, after Mr.. Morgan
had shaken hands with a few
friends, her owner went aboard and
was carried to his country place at
Highland Falls. Mr.. Morgan re-
fused himself to everyone save the
members Of his family when he
had reached his country seat, on
the plea that he was exceedingly
weary after his long journey. 1t
was intimated, however, that he
might have something to say later
in regard to the manner in which
American securities are regarded
abroad. When he was spoken to
in regard to the objects and results
of his trip on board the Teutonic,
he declined to talk about them or
to refer to anything except the
pleasant incidents of his voyage.
When he was asked whether he
believed McKinley's nomination in
st. Louis would have any effect
upon home properties and foreign

Supposedly Shrewd Business Men Fall In
to an Ancient Trick
SUPERIOR, Wis, June ll.-At
least fifty business men Of Supe-
rior were victinlized by s. d. Lis
bon, alias Walter Romans, who
fell into the hands of the Duluth
police last week after operating
rather extensively in that city.
Lisbon worked the directory
scheme very smoothly here and
but for his arrest in Duluth would
undoubtedly have carried hundreds
Of Superior dollars away with him
He represented himself as an
agent for big Chicago directo-
~ company and said the COM
pany had decided to write up the
town. What he wanted was TO
sell space in the Superior directory.
II his victim refused to buy space
he would make a confidant Of
the business man and tell
him that his company wanted
all the responsible ads 1t could get
for the first edition, whether they
got anything for them or not, and
he proposed to take this
notice gratis for the prestige 1t
would give the enterprise
with others. OF course the victim
was perfectly willing to take some
thing for nothing and readily
signed contract. He went from
here to Duluth, where the arrest
followed, and the discovery was
made that the contracts had been
changed to notes and were ready
for negotiation.

The management of the new Min
neapolis Jail contemrates a radical
departure from the time honored meth
DDS of treating prisoners awaiting
trial. In addition to improved SAM.
tary arrangements and bathing facili-
ties, a library of several hundred
volumes has been fitted up and placed
at the disposal of the inmates. This
is step in the right direction. Among
the prisoners of county Jail there is
always some of them who have taste
for reading and which is susceptible OF
development. Access to standard
works during the period of detention
gives an acquaintance with the cream
of literature, and eases the mind from
the thoughts that harass a prisoner
Inability to secure appearance bonds
is no evidence of guilt, nor is it an
excuse for treating him after the man
ner of an occupant of the cage of g
menagerie. Denying the simple neces
saries of civilized life is the most fruit
full cause of crime, and, moreover, the
high charges exacted for the keeping
of prisoners, in addition to regular
salaries, demands that the money spen
should be diverted to channels produc
tive of public benefit, and this lies il
the moral and material welfare of tn
prisoner.

ANENT FLOWER MISSION DAY.

FLOWER mission day, with it's bright
anticipations, again returns to remind
the hapless prisoner that the pale of
a common brotherhood of man in
cludes him within it's embrace. Hand
ing bouquet to prisoner is trivial in
itself, and the gift of little intrinsic
value, but the feeling aroused by the
little flower is fraught with POSSIBLE
ties for moral reform unreasonable by
worldly standards. Its sight contrast
ed by the cherries surroundings of
prison cell suggests reflection, and
when the mind reflects, regrets for the
past are awakened, and resolves for
improvement deposes the bitter
thoughts inseparable from restraint.
The practice of visiting the different
prisons once year and presenting
each inmate with bouquet, and an ap-
propriate scriptural quotation, had it's
birth in the growing interest mani
tested in the reformative methods adj
vanced to convert prisons from punt
tive to training institutions. 1t is sug-
gestive of the trend of thought that
marks the gradual recognition of the
duties society owes to those who erred
under stress of circumstances not
ALWAYS avoidable. One feature in con-
nection with this pretty custom that
has an elevating influence lies in the
fact that it is entirely conducted by
women. Long absence from the soci-
ETY. of the opposite sex breeds morose
and morbid views of life, begets dis
trust of the virtue of hope and tends
to brutalize the better nature by con-
slant dwelling on thoughts removed
from moral and mental regeneration.
The surest avenue to prisoners heart
is the persuasive sound of woman's
voice, with her delicate references to
home and family, hallowed by past as
sociations and rendered sacred by the
woes of adversely. The little floral Of
fering, extended with the winning
feminine smile of sympathy for hard
conditions, revives the dropping spirits
guides thought in purer channel and
recalls memories of other days when
ignorance of wrong marked the golden
age of life.

The latest fad of the criminologist
is the contour theory. From this it is
deduced that the practice of crime
gradually changes the contour of the
face until it finally assumes the shape
and leering expression of the devil.
The intellectual genius, who has pro-
mulgated this delightful bonnet of
an active imagination, neglects to state
where he procured the photo of the
evil one. There is no proof that the
devil ever sat for the hideous picture
by which fancy libels him. Again, the
greatest criminals of history fails to
evidence the plausibility of this theory.
Lucrezia Borgia, one of the worst GRIM
inals of modern times, was the greatest
beauty of her day and patroness of
art and learning. Alva, the ruthless
scourge of the Netherlands, was mild
hammered and fairly good-looking.
Even Arnold, the most detested name
in American history, was not repulsive
in appearance. The criminologist. great
in parading fine woven theories, should
concentrate his energies in removing
the necessity for crime-poverty.

and this necessitates delicacy in deter
mining the true character of the wan
dering suspect. Charity for the fail
ings of this unfortunate class should
guide intelligent effort in raising them
from the mire of vagrancy, for, in the

REMEDY FOR VAGRANCY.

MANKATO has devised new method
for dealing with the tramp question.
Whan a vagrant arrives in town, in
the usual chronic condition of i'm
he is taken into custody
and placed at some public work, and
at the rate of one dollar
a day. This remedy for the evil of
tramping has the element of justice to
it. After his detention has
expired the friendless wayfarer, in
stead of being driven out of town pen
niless and dependent, is in possession
of few dollars to secure him from i'm
mediate need. This enables him to
survey the near future and calculate
on his chances for procuring respect
able employment. The moral effect of
this system would be of the greatest
value in migrating a respect for labor.
With the silver jingling in his pockets,
the released wanderer feels that he has
honestly earned what little he has, and
this, though forced upon him, begets
transient spirit of independence which,
if encouraged, leads to sense of pride,
and when pride returns manhood is
awakened. To teach habits of indus
try labor must be rewarded with
share of its results. Place a man at
work, humiIiating in its nature, then
deprive him of the mere pittance that
common justice demands that he
should enjoy and the feeling of con-
tempt for the agencies that forced him
to unrequited labor is gradually wild
ened to encompass exertion in any and
all forms.
To be effectual this system would
have to be national in it's scope. The
knowledge that certain work awaited
him at every turn would dishearten
the most incorrigible of labor-hating
tramps. 1t would leave no refuge fo1
the rovers of the railway lines, but be
a powerful agency to compel them to
wear the appearance of decency as a
certificate of character. One obstacle
that blocks the way of the unfortunate
tramp is lack of self confidence He is
aware of the shameless life he leads
and the detestation in which his class
is held. Every one scorns him, every
town buffets him on to the next an(
every favor extended him is done will
about the same grace of manner tina
he himself displays in his periodical
pilgrimages to some county Jail. Dis
couragement is fatal to pride and am
bition, and every step taken to dispeli
is step in the direction of improve
ment. Labor, justly rewarded, is tn
) surest support of self-respect and tn
t strongest check to restrain migrator
: habits. The tramp, despite all tn

formality of a warrant, is what most

THE strongest argument against the
pardoning power is often furnished by
those who benefit by this wise provis-

mistakes. In celebrating their restora-

into gross breach of public decency.
