VOLUNTARILY SOUGHT THE
JAIL.
NIB

The New York papers report a pc
culiar and pathetic case. The account
they give is this:
Tired and almost numb from cold,
Julia Flynn, a gray-haired widow of
sixty years, walked YEARLY into. the
New Rochelle police headquarters at
5 o'clock in the morning, the other day.
She told Sergeant Cody that she want
ed to be sent away.
'Send me to JAIL she sobbed, for 1
am penniless and without a home or
friends
The woman said she had not eaten
anything in three days, so Sergeant
Cody secured a meal for her. When
informed that she could not be sent to
Jail without committing a crime, she
began to cry bitterly.
.Fn go out and break in store win
down. she exclaimed And with this
she started for the door.
Sergeant Cody quoted her. She was
arraigned before Judge Lambden, to
whom she told, as the tears trickled
down her cheeks, how she had tried to
secure employment as a domestic, but
was unable to do so on account of her
age.
Send me to Jail, Judge; for if you
don't, [ will starve in the street, .
pleaded the aged woman.
Judge Lambden committed her to
the White Plains Jail for sixty days.
She thanked the judge for providing a
home for her.
The judge had no right in the world
to commit her to Jail; yet his action
was a real charity, and no doubt it was
charitable feeling that prompted it..
But how sad that this gray-haired
widow should have been compelled to
apply for admission to the common
Jail to save herself from starvation.
Her case was urgent and admitted of
no delay. otherwise she should never
have been sent to the Jail, even for
charity's sake; a home for aged women
is the proper place for her. The case
was a very sad and unfortunate one,
but it affords no moral of any kind.
Such cases are extremely rare, and
when they come to light, their very
rarity gives them a prominence they
would not otherwise have. This old
woman's life, for some cause or other,
had been failure, a failure greater
than most, no doubt, and to have to
seek refuge in jail makes it seem
doubly sad

TALES OF THE DAY.
Bill Nve,s Hemorrhage.

The Rev. John Wallis Oil, rector of the
Ascension Rectory, of Salina, Colo, was a
newspaper man during his first years in
the Centennial state and tells this story
of Bill Nye. Nye came down to Denver
one fail and a lot of the boys put up at
the Markham hotel, before the upper floor
had been finished 1t was a large garrett
so TO speak and the beds in it were cots
set up all over the floor in great profus-
ion. Nye came in late at night Juggling
a mammoth watermelon which he had
bought outside, and proceeded to cut it
open. None of the others dared eat any,
so he fell to and devoured nearly all of
it, Then he simply dropped the rest of
the melon down by the side of the, cot
and toDpled over into bed. 1t was long
after midnight then, and he dropped off
to sleep instantly. IA scarcely stirred
until daylight. when his overloaded
stomach like. the worm, began to turn.
He was very sick, and Suddenly caught
sight of the remnants of the watermelon.
my God" he exclaimed. as he burst
into tears and sobbed piteously, I've had
a henOrrhage."

1T seems as if President Mckinley
had a special fondness for pardoning
bank wreckers and embezzlers, the
very class of all others that ought to
be the last to receive clemency,' says
the Chicago Record. Their crimes are
especially disturbing to society, and es-
pecially blameworthy in that they con-
stitute violations of sacred trusts OF
course, criminals of high standing, like
those holding positions of responsibility
in great banking institutions can bring
to bear in their behalf more pressure,
political and otherwise, than ordinary
offenders. In the face of the long par
don list and the facts as reported in
some cases, one cannot forbear think
ing that influence is the chief factor in
securing clemency."

NO FROSTED ORANGES WANTED

The Los Angeles Herald gives the
orange growers of Southern California
some excellent advice regarding the
shipping of oranges that have been
slightly frosted. 1t says that another
Geld wave has swept over the state, and
that damage has resulted to the orange
crop. but It is hoped not to the extent
that it was in January, 1894, or in Jan
uary. 1885, 1t declares that fruit mer-

viii stand. The fruit is not yet ripe, it
says, and in the rush to get good prices
for holiday goods, oranges have been
shipped that were not even colored, to
say nothing of being ripe. The Herald
closes. its article with this excellent
advice:

Fort Thurber," the sentry box which
the. private secretary of President
Cleveland erected in front of the White
House three or four years ago to shell

always on duty in front of the execu-
tive mansion, is now standing in the
corral Of the local army quartermaster,
and viii probably be knocked into
klndling wood, says William E. Curtis.
President Mckinley does not require
the police protection that was thought
necessary for President Cleveland. For
the last four years, and until March 4.
twenty-nine patrolmen, a sergeant and
two detectives were detailed for regular
duty at the White House. During the
Harrison administration there were on
" six. patrolmen. At present there are
twelve which allows four men to be on
duty constantly upon the street in
front Of the White House, a second on
the oortico AID two more on the
grounds back of the mansion. These
men are on duty eight hours at a
stretch. While General Harrison was
president there was one patrolman on
duty at the portico night and day. and
another one Patroled the grounds in the
rear. President Cleveland had eight
men outside and two inside the White
Fause at ali times.
E5r. Cleveland being so much larger
physically than either Major Mckinley
or General Harrison, necessarily it
would require a larger number of pa
trolmen to guard him.

New York World: The situation at
STATE PRESS COMMENT.

Bingham Bulletin: At this time there
are 100000 pensioners, drawing $40, 100000
yearly. If the governments beneficiaries
years as they have in the last 20 they will
bankrupt the country. No patriotic citi-
zen can begrudge just pension, but one
third of a century has elapsed since Lee
surrendered, and one-seventieth of the
population of the Union are now on the
pension roll, and not one in SO of the
benefciaries ever smelled powder or fired
a musket, it looks like there is something
mighty unfair if not rotten about the
business. 1t would not appear SO one
sided ii the government would make the
thing unanimous and once a year give
every man, woman and child in the coun-
try 81 apiece. That is just what the pres
ent pension outlay amounts to.

ein California growers this season VIII
not lie in the great quantity of fruit
frozen, but in the fact that some OF
that fruit will be sent to market, and
eastern buyers will refrain from buying
oranges at all, because of fear OF get
ting frosted fruit. If the Southern Cal
ifornia orchardists, backed by the fruit
exchange and shipping merchants,
would absolutely hold back for one
month all fruit from orchards suspect
ed of having been injured, then only
good fruit would go to market for that
period, and confidence would be re-
stored. Such fruit could be guaranteed,
and consequently sold at good price.
One month hence the frosted fruit
could be separated from the good frut
in the frosted sections, and in this way
none but the best fruit would be mar
keted, and our reputation would not be
injured. This is the only. road to
safety.
Three years ago the Utah market was
flooded with frost bitten oranges from
California, and it begins to look as
though there would be a repetition of
the food this year. The price at which
the oranges are sold is evidence of their
inferiority: they are retailing at 20
cents a dozen, but it is 20 cents a dozen
more than they are worth, for they are
sourer than aged swill, while to eat
one makes a person feel, to use the old
circus joke as an illustration, as
though he had swallowed an Odd Fell
low and he had given him the g-.p.
The advice the Herald gives the
orange growers is good, and should be
needed. 1t is equally good for fruit
growers everywhere. To send bad fruit
away means the eventual loss of a
good market; it is penny wisdom and
pound foolishness.
