For these reasons J. Kellog urges
that when the convict is put to hard
labor the state pay him for his services,
which compensation shall be paid to his
family. In case he has no one depend
ent on him the money should be put by
and paid him when he secures his re-
lease, so that he may have some capital
with which to start anew.
These theories have a beautiful
sound, but one who knows the charac-
ter of the average convict knows thar
in nine cases out of ten his family eau
not be in worse condition after lis
conviction than they were before, and
if the man has committed a wrong
against the laws of the state, the people
owe him nothing. What labor the coll
vict can perform should be credited 10

ferer Philanthropy on the part of the
state toward it's criminals, or the fami-
lies of its criminals, usually turns out
by no means a practical form of
reformation. Men know the way they
must travel when they enter the list Of
criminals, and thought for their wives
and children and good name Should
have been the first consideration in
their minds when the first wrong step
was taken. If they could not appreciate
the liberties they had, certainly moth

With the decline of the grape crop in
France, increased attention has been
paid to the cultivation of apples and
the production of cider, which has, in
a measure, superseded wine as the ma
tiOnal drink. Official statistics just
published show that there were 67S,-
100000 gallons of cider produced in
France in 1895, being an increase of
197,000,000 gallons over the preceding
year.

STRANGE SIGHTS.

The convention itself was a most In
spiring sight Never before since the
present system of national conventions
was inaugurated by the old National
Republican" party in Baltimore, in
1881, has the convention met in such a
eapaclous and admirably adapted struc-
ture The hands Of the big clock op-
posite the platform cannot be discern
ed. yet the acoustic properties of the
building are so perfect that every word
could be distinctly heard, on the plat
form were the members of the ma
tional committee. Among the distin-
guished guests seated in the rear were
a number of gold leaders who have
been conspicuous in previous conven-
tions. but who were swept by the silver
cohorts in their states. These included
General Gordon. of Georgia; Senator
Lindsay, of Kentucky; eX-Congressman
Bynum. of Indiana; ex-Congressman
Cultivate and others.
But, the strangest of all, on the plat
form OF the Democratic convention was
the little coterie OF silver senators who
bolted the convention at st. Louis, At
present without party. they seek en-
trance TO the Democratic party on the
condition that II selected Teller. Gen.
eral Weaver, and other Populists and
silverites, like Senator Stewart, We're

suits of the deliberations of the con-
vention. Although well known faces

has a strong lead, but the possibility
OF all sorts Of complications which
may blockade his way TO the coveted
prize have made his followers anxious
and talk of abrogating the two-thirds
rule in his interest has been revived.
The calmest observers cannot yet fig
ure out how he can win. They still
look for Boies, or a dark horse.
The use which the gold contingent
will make OF their votes win eompli-
cate the situation and many believe,
in the present disorganized condition
OF the silver men as to candidates,
they can force a compromise, Steven
son is most prominently spoken of in
this connection.

ON RESOLUTIONS.

The committee on resolutions met
tonight at the Palmer House. Senator
White. of California, was elected chair
man OF the committee. Before he could
take the chair, committee from the
committee on permanent organization
called upon him and notified him of his
selection for permanent chairman, and
returning to the room of the commit
tee on resolutions he stated 1t would
be impossible for him, If the conven-
tlon should ratify the choice of the
committee on permanent organization,
to serve as chairman of the committee
on resolutions, Senator Jones, of Ar
kansas. was then chosen chairman Of
the committee on resolutions. Thomas,
of Colorado, made motion that the
committee appoint subcommittee, Of
which Chairman Jones should be made
chairman, the committee to consist of
nine, to report a platform to the full
committee tomorrow morning at 8
o'clock, McDermott, of New Jersey,
offered a substitute that the 'sub-com-
mlttee should consider everything in
the platform save the financial 1ues-
ton, upon which II should be instruct
ed to take no action. This motion was
supported by McDTmott In very Wig
orous gold speech in which he declar-
ed that the silver men were carrying

ton to an extent which would destroy

YALE LOSES.

that Leander would win by length.

pale and pulled listlessly IN spite OF
this the Americans rowed stubbornly,
powerfully and evenly, sticking to it
in the gamest manner possible, while
all around were cries Of "Leander, Lee
ander," resounding in their ears and
certainly not giving them any encour-
agement. Opposite the White House,
Leander drew clear. When the Yale
boat passed Club Land. George Lang
ford. Yale's stroke, seemed played out.
He was pulling lifelessly and the Lee
anders went ahead almost as they
liked. AS the racing craft appeared
in sight of the crowds near the finish,
applause, shouting and fiag-waving
began and gradually increased until it
assumed the proportions of perfect
hurricane as the boats crossed the fin
ish line.
Rodgers and Brown had to be as
sisted to the boathouse, where they
were laid on the floor. Attendants be-
gan chafing their arms, ETC., doing ev-
everything possible to revive the suf-

rapid splashing that became fainter and
fainter sounded ahead OF him, and showed
that the dog was making an ignoninious
retreat. Lighting his torch, that had gone
out before he met the dog, the man moved
little further inward and discovered a
pile of rock, bricks and dirt that had ac-
cumulated at one side of the sewer. The ac-
cumulation presented considerable sur
face well above the surface of what water
flowed through the sewer. On this pile
he found several beds in the dry dust. Sew
eral bones lay about, too,
Before the man made his brief explora-
ton of the pile, he heard many growls and
much splashing, that showed that the dog
that IN ct him had been joined by Others and
all had become frightened and retreated up
the sewer. At times the pile OF rubbish
was bound to be inundated, but the'work-
man asserted that he thought the dogs
made their homethe dry weather times.
Just why dogs should seek out such filthy
homes when lumber yards, boiler yards and
old houses present domieiles, is not clear.
Still, they do it, and it is not at all an un-
common sight to witness one or more dogs
make a mysterious dive with bone or
morsel of bread in its mouth down one OF
the openings that is made for water alone.
Most of them are dogs thataprowl about
at night and secure food when and where
they can. The majority OF them are not as
| fierce as might be expected, but are cowed
by the abuse and ilLtreatmentt they are sub
iected to every minute of their unhappy
lives A rest in the sewer may be not haif
bad when compared with their reception IN
the world above the pavement.
