TO ABOLISH STRIPES.
"A New and Hopeful Experiment
In Prison Reform.
ENCOURAGEMENT FOR CONNECTS.

Inmates of tho kansas Penitentiary May
Behavior-Good Influence of tho limo
yation-The Parole System.
An innovation in the shape Of change
In prison uniform will shortly take place
In the Kansas state pcnitentiary ut Lam
sing. Tho time honored stripes, SO long
associated with prisons as the insignia of
convict, will give place to n suit of cadet
gray. In announcing the change Warden
Lands told tho prisoners that the change
would BIO made on July 4, and that 1t
would affect those whose records were good
up to that time. Should any of them dis
. regard the rules and regulations Of the in
stitution sufficiently to merit punish
1nent thoy would continue to wear the
stripes and he an object of special observa-
ton to all visitors and to their fellows.
81 believe the change will have bene-
fetal results" said Warden Lands to
Chicago Record correspondent. "When
made tho announcement to tho mon of tho
proposed change they seemed highly de-
lighted with tho prospect. Since that time
1 have observed difference in the de-
meanor of tho prisoners, and tho class of
offenses has been of moro trivial charac-
ter. Since the men know that only good
conduct will cntitlo them to wear tho new
uniform, it can be readily seen that they
will try to keep out of the hated clothing"
Tho correspondent also interviewed
Warden French of tho United States poni
tertiary ut Lcnvcnworth who perhaps has
had moro experience with tho system than
any other prison official in the west. 1t
is in uso in that prison. and the warden
has observed its workings elsewhere. The
warden was asked If no believed in tho
graded system of prison uniforms.
81 do, if you will carry it fnr enough to
make it effective and give the convict an
induccmcnt and opportunity to reform.
Reformation is tho purpose of olassiflca-
ton for tho grading Of convicts in prison
management. Tho change from the flu
miliar stripe to tho different grades of uni
form is but one step in tho plnn of reform
atory work in prisons. 1t is the most i'm
portant step and like the 'half Loaf is
better than no progress Mt ALL
'Tho stripe is older thnn tho peniten-
tiary in this country. 1t came across the
ocean. Tho lock stop camo with it. We
associate both with the ponitontiary, and
in the public mind tho chief mark of dis
grace in going to tho ponitcnitary is the
donning of tho stripes. Tho convicts know
this and hence tho opportunity to keep out
of them is seized upon by all men sent to

prison, especially by mon who still possess
hopo and ambition to DO something better
than u convict.
''In several states today actual expert
ence is demonstrating that mon in pris-
on will strive to got into tho. clothing
of tho highest grade, usually gray cloth,
and, that privilege gained, they will so
guard their conduct as not to lose it's ad-
Vantages. The rule is to have three grades
the lowest with the old prison stripes,
the middle with the black and white check
and tho third the highest or gray uniform
1.-The convict onters in the middle class
Ho then is given an opportunity to nd
vance or degrade, according to his con-
duct.
In the lowest grade he loses MI good
time and is denied parole or pardon In
fact, he has no privileges and his portion
Is hard work during the full term of his
sentence. In tho middle class ho gets his
good time and limited privileges, but is
barred from pardon or parole In the
highest grade he gets all the privileges the
discipline of tho prison accortls, and he is
eligible to parole at my moment his con-
tinued good conduct merits it.
"Now, the immediate benefit of such n
system of prison management is that the
prisoner 8 mind is fixed upon good conduct
from tho start, and he is given the strong
incentive of liberty to struggle in that di-
rection. In this struggle, it may bc, he
becomes conscious for the first time of his
ronl condition and in this awakening ref.
ormation begins do not mean that ev-
cry convict that wears the highest grade
will leavo the prison Il reformed man and
from thence lead an upright life, but L
do mean that the possibilities for such a
result arc infinitely greater under such
methods than under the old method of
prison management.
Back of the graded system we want
the enactment of laws for the parole sys-
tenn. The courts will then find n man
guilty and sentence him to prison under a
minimum sentence-or an indetcrnlinate
sentence, as it is commonly called. He
then must serve the minimum, and he
may have to serve the maximum. This is
left to him. He goes to prison, enters tho
middle grade, and his fate is largely put
into his own hands,
The now uniform of tho Kansas state
pcnitentiary will present n natty appear

breasted pattern. From tho shoulder
along tho outside seam black stripe, one
half inch in width, is sewed, and u similar
stripe runs down tho outside seam of tho

of the suit. The cap is made of similar

JUDO CHoLLET.


Many persons are weary of the bolero,
tho fashion having lasted long enough,
they consider. Nobody is obliged to wear
it, however, rs there are score of different
styles for tho bodice in which the bolero
has no part. But 1t has by no means dis
appeared, nor is it likely to do SO for some
timo to come. Very short, of embroidery
or lace, it is most effective element in
elegant costumes There is an old adage
which says, lizard words break no bones.
Neither do hard words suffice to. stem the
current of fashion when it once sets
strongly in any direction. How much has
been said against the blouse bodice; yet it
still holds on TO life with firm grasp.
Many times have donuDointions been heard
of tho corsago differing from the skirt; yet
here 1T is again this season, as full of vi
tality as ever.
For slender but woll developed figures
the princess gown is peculiarly suitable.

HOW TO PRACTICE.

An Eminent Music Teachers Views on
This Important Subject.
Numbered with practical points by
eminent teachers In The Etude is the
following on how to practice:
Practice means to some merely the
employment Of certain number Of
minutes or hours listlessly going through
exercises and pieces with the satisfied
feeling that one has done his duty. To
others it means the hard practice Of ex-
ercises and pieces with the discouraged
feeling that the goal is as far off as
ever. What one needs to feel after prac-
tice is the glow of conscious progress
permoating his whole being, looking for
ward with longing to the next days
practice, instead Of with the listlessness
or loathing that accompanies any but
progressive practice.
What one needs in practice is to have
distinct object or aim in view. It
may be precision, brilliancy, velocity,
evennoss or lightness. 1t would be we'll
If each student were to make out for
himself study plan, with the finger
exercises and portions of pieces to be
practiced each day, with the object aim
ed at in each days practice.
If one were to practice a study the
first day with the sole idea of memoriz-
ing the notes, the second day to secure
correctness Of touch, time, lingering and
dynamic signs, the next day aiming at
velocity forte, the next day velocity
niano and an IN includinu the different
aims to be embodied in the study, the
progress made in each days practice
would be far more satisfactory than if
one divided the attention on the differ
ent points which together constitute per-
fection. .....
In the beginning Of practice on any
passage aim at one thing at a time.
Later the practice may take in two or
more aims, till at last the fingers auto
matically perform their duty, leaving
the mind free to conceive the interpre-
tation.

Uncertainties and a Certainty.
The attention of the public is
now fully occupied and diverted
in the consideration and discus
sion of several important current
and prospective happenings. An
nexation, as yet insecure, Re-
ciprocity threatened; the coming
of the Naniwa, and her mission
after arrival; the outcome of the
war between Greece and Turkey
and, whether or no, all Europe
will eventually become involved;
the settlement of the quarantine
squabble-are all themes of much
conjecture and uncertainty, and
while opinions are freely offered,
none can accurately foretell the
outcome of any of these matters.
Nevertheless, it is becoming more
apparent, as each day passes, that
Buffalo and Hoffbrau are the
favorite brews, and it is crafty
ing that assurance is given that
regular shipments of these whole
some and strengthening bever-
ages can be depended upon, and
that thsy will, as heretofore, be
dispensed at the Royal, Pacific
and Cosmopolitan Saloons, and
that the interchangeable check
system is an established fact.

membrance the side upon which their fathers
fought, and the part they played in the grandest
struggle made in American history.
