New York Commissioners Think In
sanity of Prisoners Not Due
to Lack of Work

New York, Aug. 24.-Charles j. Boyd
of Midd1etown and William Remington
or canton, members of the New York
state prison commission, visited the
Kings county penitentiary yesterday
on their annual inspection. They were
received by Charities Commissioner
Burtis and Warden Hayes. The ques-
ton of insanity among the prisoners re-
sulting from idleness was discussed.
Both the state commissioners said that
in their belief the large percentage of
insanity among the prisoners in Kings
county penitentiary could not be at
tributed to the idleness they had un-
dergone.
In this statement they were support
ed by warden Hayes, who seemed in
cIlned to belittle the assertion of Com
missioner BurtiS that the minds of the
prisoners are affected by fdleness. Com
missioner Burtis' course in insisting
that the prisoners be given work on
public improvements was approved
Commissioner Remington said the pris-
oners should be worked on the streets.

GEORGIA CONyICTs.
New Plan of Government Proposed
Will Abolish the Lease.

Atlanta, Aug. 24.-The convict sys-
tenn of Georgia is to be radically chang
ed The lash is to be abolished, more
humane methods of control substituted,
the parole system and the grade sys-
tenn established and indeterminate SEN
tence adopted
This is the result of a protracted
study of the question by Principal
Keeper j. s. Turner and Gov. Atkin-
son: With a view to recommending a
plan for disposing of the 2,400 convicts
to be returned to the state by the pres
ent lessees, the governor and the prin-
cipa1 keeper have recently visited
the penitentiarieS of several states
Since then Mr.. Turner has made a
study OF the convict system of all the
states, and has formulated plan
which he thinks will give Georgia the
best penitentiary system in the union.
II VIII take. five years to carry it into
effect fully and finally get rid of the
tease system altogether. 1t is proposed
to begin work on the permanent peni-
tentiary next year, and have it ready
at the end of five years. The cost will
by convict labor. Mr.. Turner's plan is
approved by the governor, and will
probably pass the legislature at this
falls session.
The legislature will have to act this
fall, as lease expires in 1899, and it

VINO VIII be returned to the state. Prin-
L
the purchase of 5000 to 1000 acres of
good land as the site for a permanent
pen1tent1ary- 1t must be accessible to
all parts of the state, and must con-
tain deposits of clay and QuarrieS of
building stone, with a stream of not
less than 500 horse power. Temporary
Stockades, hospitals and other build
1ngs are to be erected by 900 convicts,
who will be separated from the rest
AS soon as the present lease expires all
the females, boys under II years of age
ana lnflrm or deceased convictS are
to be placed on these works. Each
class will be separated from the others
and separate cells will be provided. The
women will be employed at making
clothes and the boys at making shoes
and implements or in farming. To
these will be added 1S0 able bodied men
penitentiary, make brick, quarry stone,
etc.
This will leave $50 able bodied men,
who will be hired for five years, the
state retaining control of them and fur
nishing the food, clothing, guards and
medical attention.
1t is estimated that after paying all
expenses their labor will return to the
state $4,000 in five years. This sum
will be expended in building a perma-
nent penltentiary on the tract above
referred to. By reason of using 18O
men in making brick, quarrying stone
and otherwise preparing material the
state will get for this sum a plant
which would originally cost very near
a million. When this is completed
which will be within the five years, con-
Wet leases will be done away with and
the state will take entire control of her
conV1ctS, working them in mills, fac
tories, quarries, brickyards, farmwork
and the women in clothing factories
which will be parts of the plant.

FUTURE OF WHEAT.

The sudden and violent collapse of the
wheat boom suggests the thought that
the prosperity prophets may have gone
too far in advance of the procession. If
there was any valid and substantial
reason why wheat should pass the dol
lar mark in Chicago it exists just as po-
tentIy today as it did last week. The
situation has not changed. There is no
more wheat in the world. The short
age in Europe upon which the rapid rise
was supposed to rest still exists; SO that
if the high figure attained rested upon
legitimate demand there need be no
fear that last weeks prices will not
again prevail.
The report has been sent out that the
fall was occasioned by a desire of the
holders of a large amount of wheat to
take out the profits on their holdings.
To do this they sold at the high figure
prevailing last Saturday and thus over
stocked the market. In substantiation
of this view it is pointed out that the
prices in Europe held up in a remark
able manner.
1t is notable in this connection that
while all cereals declined the price of
every stock on the list advanced. Mr..
Henry Clews in his latest financial cir
cular calls attention to this phase of
the speculative market in these words:
1.-The partial reaction in the stock
market during the week has not been
entirely unnatural 1t had been pre-
ceded by large advance covering an
unprecedented range of issues. Opera
tors were therefore carrying an amount
of stocks far in excess of anything ex-
perienced for many years pasta con-
dition which tended to expose holders
to attack The bears after a long
abstinence, were hungering for meal,
and not a few bulls were willing to
take their handsome profits; while
others who had already done so were
quite willing to see, if not help, re-
action. At the same time, there is
class of conservative bulls who, while
believing that the market is destined
for a greater rise, yet expect it to come
step by step and through course of
frequent cautious realizings. This class
have some influence upon Wall street
opinion, and they are likely to set an
effective precedent of taking fair prof
its, which will have its result in chas-
tening an over-sanguine temper.
Another factor which tends to en-
courage these frequent realizings comes
from the great breadth of the market.
With such an enlarged assortment of
issues as the list now presents, there
are always stocks which have not had
the average rise; and, when prices
weaken, those who have profits on their
holdings are ready to take them and
buy these neglected shares In brief,
il seems to be rule in stock opera tions
that, when the market is a broad one.
prices advance more by a zigzag move
ment than in a continuous straight
line"
What is here said of stocks is prob
ably equally true of staple farm pro-
ducts. In the meantime those WHO
show a disposition TO rush matters are
likely TO get into difficulties.

Il went out one day with party up
Horse creek, which runs through a
gorge. The other members of the party
wore shoes with holes cut in them to
let the water out, but I was afraid of
rheumatism, so L borrowed Judge
Riner'S rubber boots. We started in to
wade, fishing as we went, and before 1
knew it 1 tumbled headlong over a
boulder and my rubber boots were filled
with water. After that I did not
bother about getting my feet wet
Every once in awhile we would come
to waterfall and then we would have
to climb about half mile up the sides
of the gorge to get around it. We were
out all day and caught SO fish, the larg-
est II inches long. I wouldn't go out
after trout again if someone would pay
me. 1t is more sport to go down to

ARMENIANS ASK FREEDOM.

Constantinop1e, Aug. 24.-The circu-

of the powers from the Armenian
Dashnakzutrum committee, almost
identical with the one sent to the am

of which fills them with terror They

KAIULANI HAS HOPE.
viii Return to Hawaii to Watch the
Course of Events

San Francisco. Aug. 24.-Princess
Kaiulani, who has just attained her
majority, will return to Hawaii in Oc-
tober after an absence of ten years in
England and on the continent
She has hopes of being made queen
of the present island republic if annex
alton fails. She is watching for
change. When it comes she looks for
a compromise between the Republicans
and Royalists in favor of herself, for
the chances of her aunt, ex-Queen Lili-
uOkalani, being restored to power are
generally conceded to be very slim in
any event.
The princess will arrive in New York
about September 25. She will probably
stop for a short time visiting ex-Queen
Liliuokalani, who will then be residing
here temporarily while congress is not
in session. Kaiulani's father will ac-
company her.
