STEEL PRISON CELLS.
Warden Woodbridge Will Begin Elabor-


 ate Reforms.
 The improvements in the state prison at Wethersfield will be completed about August l. The thirty-two additlonal cells built by the appropriation or SEQ, ,oO0 made by the last legislature are almost completed. They are built, but the means of lighting them have not yet been adopted by the board or prison directors The question of lighting them by electricity by the storage battery system is under consideration or the board. A plan of storage battery has been proposed, and by it's proposers, at least, the plan is said to be practicable. The new cells are of steel, and are burg lar proof They are in two tiers, and are so built that two more tiers, each having sixteen cells. can easily De built over them, making slxty-four III all. The extra cells cannot be built, however, within the appropriation or $20, ,0O0 They will not be needed for some time, for a few years at least, and when they are needed the legislature will be asked for another appropriation of $10,O0O or $15,000. For the new cells, which are in the west end. it was neces- sary to build foundations which made an expense that will not be incurred | in the building of two other tiers By reason of this fact the expense Of bulld- | ing the latter will be less than that of building the cells, which will be ready for occupancy about August 1. These | thirty-two new cells will afford Warden Woodbridge an opportunity of putting into effect a plan of reforming prison CTS which he has long since contem~ | plated. The warden, who is a keen ob- server of the habits and propensities | of the prisoners committed to ms | charge, finds in many of them, even in those confined for heinous offenses, | latent spark of innate goodness and ln- | clination to reform. He is satisfied that this spark needs but an incentive to develop to such proportions that 1t will | influence the conduct of the men to their improvement and betterment. He will furnish these cells in more com- | fortable manner than the other cells. l In addition to this improved furnishing he will give the men occupying them
 certain privileges which will not be ac- corded the other prisoners. They will have better clothing to wear, and their food will be more palatable and whole some. Those who attended the Salva-
 tion Army services in the chapel of the
 prison when General Booth-Tucker made an address to the prisoners will remember that Warden Woodbridge, in the brief address which he made then,
 stated his belief that many of the men
 are inclined to be tractable and good. The warden, who is pre-eminently prac- i tica1 in all his undertakings, recognizes
 the fact that the privileged department of the institution must, to be worth anything, be worthy of the prisoners desire to earn his transfer to it. On the other hand, the prisoner must show in a
 substantial manner by strict obedience
 to the rules of the istitution and loyal

IN THE RIGHT pE.acn.

The Boy Orator will be in his right place as the nominee of the Popullsts on Q platform even more Populistic than the one adopted by the convention at Chicago which took the name of Jeff ferson in vain. There can be no more dispute now about his standing He has no claim to be considered Demo- crat. He Is a Populist and anybody that votes for him votes for Populism.
 While the nomination of the Boy Ora tor by the Populists will bring him some votes it will lose him a great many. Many Democrats who have been hesltating because he was nominated at Chicago in the name of Democracy will hesitate no longer when he has been nominated at St. Louis in the name of Populism. They are not Pop ulists, and they will not feel that hon est allegiance to true Democracy re- quires them to be.
 The real bolters from Democracy are not those who did not approve the &C., tion os the Chicago convention and will not approve the action of the Pop ulist convention. The real bolters are the Boy Orator and his gang. True Democracy everywhere should repudi- ate them, for they have repudiated true Democracy.

closely fitted tailor gown, and if you are little inclined to large hips and abdominal prominence. such modifi- cation Is more becoming.
 An extremely pretty bodice is the one the artist contributes here, in which there is a novel suggestion of the lately popular bag front bodice in the straps that hang loosely from the bust line. This dress Is of shot silk garnished with ecru guipure and shot satin. The bod ice is worn with a wide draped belt, straps, bretelles and large collar being of the satin. The sleeves are draped as shown, and the skirt is finished with a satin ruff1e around the hem, a strap showing at the right side so that skirt and bodice shall harmonize Small pearl buttons are put on each of these straps.
 If your off-shoulder gown seems a lit- tie too pronounced now that that cut is waning, then set on pair Of suspender pieces reaching from the belt in front up over the shoulders and down again to the belt at the back These pieces may be of the material of the gown if you have some left, or of harmonizing material. Let it be softly folded into the belt at the ends, and narrowed un- der rosette at the top of the shoul- ders. Of course just little touch of shoulder will show between the rosette and the edge of the off-shoulder cut. If you are at loss for material to match, maybe the the old bodice has a sash piece or folded belt. Isn't there enough of that? Make a girdle of lace instead and finish the off shoulder edge with lace, too. FLORETTE.

observances of it's discipline that he is entitled to the privileges of the depart nent. No mere slight or occasional inl- provement in conduct will suffice. The
 improvement must be steady and unde-
 viating. The warden does not claim to
 be a pioneer in helping prisoners to re-
 form. Prison reformers the world over,
 wherever considerations of humanity
 obtain in the management of prisons,
 recognize the fact that penal istitutions
 should do something more than punish;
 they should reform. We all remember
 in Goldsmith's delightful story, "The
 Vicar of Wakefield" |" how the good old
 Dr. Primrose descanted on the subject
 of prison reform when he found him.
 self the fellow prisoner of the worst
 characters in England, and how he
 pointed out that it was possible to

 prisoner while punishing him for his crime
 4 The insufficiency of the water supply
 at the prison Is a matter which is re-
 ceiving the serious consideration of the
 directors. The prison is furnished now
 with water from the Hartford water
 works. The pressure is, comparatively,
 very slight. In case a fire occurred in
 the institution the pressure would be altogether inadequate to furnish q stream that would reach to the upper stories. The istitution might be laid in ashes, and the warden and his officials would be powerless to prevent the con Emigration. Besides, in case an accident
 occurred to the water main, shutting off the water so that the closets could not be flushed the consequences from a sanitary point of view might be serious. The committee of the board have | thought of several plans of increasing the water supply. One plan is to sink a well and to have a large cistern and automatic pumps. Another plan Is to get water from the East Hartford res | ervoir. The latter plan would necessi- | tate the laying of pipes on the bottom | of the Connecticut river. The directors

FASHION NOTES.
Three Suggestions for Bodices.


 A very pretty bodice is close fitting, the front being cut off to show fall of loose contrasting material from just below the bust line. The sides of the cut-away edge take a zouaye-jacket line, and the edge just under the bust line in front is shaped into three points, the central one being a little longer than the others. From under these points the loose front falls, bagging slightly over the belt just in the center. The jacket sides are held in close to the figure by band of folded material like the loose front, which passes under the side front points and into the belt just at the hips, the loose front, of course, falling from hip to hip in front. This makes a pretty compromise on a
