Young, But u Heroine

What might have been terrible wreck on
the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern was
averted last night by little Mary Och, a
nine-year- old girl, near slocum Bridge.
The little girl was out with lantern
hunting a stray horse, which she discovered
had fallen on a trestle and was caught
fast In the bridge, which is near a sharp
curve OF the railroad, and not In the sight OF
an engineer until his engine is within short
distance. Knowing that the evening accom-
mediation train, which is generally crowded
with passengers, was nearly due, the child
crawled across the lofty trestle, past the
frightened and plunging horse, and then
around the curve, where she built a large
fire in the center of the track to attract the
attention of the trapmen. Her efforts were
successful, the traiIf being stopped within q
few feet of the beacon.-Cleveland Plain

About 100 members Were present. After

was read. The committee reported as a
result OF its Investigations:
First-That all buildings. such as schools
and asylums. occupied almost entirely by
children aud youths under fifteen years
OF age, the minimum amount or air for
ventilation shall be 1.So0 cubic feet per
hour per person. Second-That Ior all
buildings occupied by persons over fifteen
years of age, the minimum amount of air
for ventilation shall be 1000 cubic feet
per hour per person. Third-That for
buildings lighted In part OF wholly by gas,
the minimum amount of air supplied for
each gas light shall be 5000 cubic feet per

AUsTRIA's WOMEN PRISONERS.
Even the Worst Criminals Are Treat
ed Kindly.
(shica Recnrd


ed Kindly.
Chicago Record.
In Austria a woman, no matter what she
may do, is never regarded or treated quiteas
a criminal. She may rob, burn, kill-set
every law at defiance, in fact, and break all
the commandments in turn-without u fear
of ever being called upon to face a gallows.
She is not even sent to any ordinary prison
to do penance for her sins; the hardest fate
that can befall her, indeed, is to be COM
PEELED to take up her abode for Il time in a
convent. There the treatment meted Quito
to her is not so much justice seasoned with
mercy, as mercy seasoned, and none too
we'll with justice. Even in official reports
she is an '.erring sister"-one who has, 1t Is
true strayed from the narrow path, but Inite
involuntarily.
The convent to which Vienna sends i,s er-
ring sisters is at Neudorf, only few mines
away from the city. There any woma.twho
is sconvictcd of eithercrime or misdeme.inoi is
at once transported. The judge he;o-e
whom she is tried decides, OF course, how
long she shall remain. He MAY, too, if he
deems it right. give orders that while there
she shall pass a day in solitary confinement
from time to time, and on these occasions
be less pientifully supplied with food than
usual.
In the great ma jority of cases, however,
no Instructions OF tnlS klnu are given, Tue
women are simply banded over to the keep
ing of the superior of the convent, to be
dealt with as she thinks best. She houses
them, feeds them. clothes them, and pro-
yides them with instruction and occupa-
tIon, and the government gives her for
what she does thirty-fiye kreuZers day
(about Z pence) for each prisoner under ber
care.
So long as these women are In the convent
the responsibility of their safekeeping and
general well being rests on the superior;
and, in return, she is allowed practically
free hand In her management of them.
There are, 1t Is true, certain regulations
In force with regard to the amount of work
they may be required to do and the pun
ishment that may be inflicted on them, but
these are not of q nature to Interfere
seriously with her freedom of action. She
| is, in fact, virtually an autocrat within her
own domain and there are not half dozen
women In Europe today who have SO much
power for the veal or woe OF their fel.
lows as she has. The only man attached to
the place-a government lnspector-is lit
| tie more than her aide-de-camp, and as for
the great officials who pay her flying
visits from time to time. they are more In
elined to seek advice than to givsit.
