POLITICAL PREDICTION.

London, Oct. 4.-The newspapers
here generally pay much attention to
the New York political campaign ar
ticles and editorials on the subject.
The Globe says:
Judging from the Times dispatch,
Henry George will be the next mayor.
Americans do not exceed a quarter of
the whole population, and European
anarchists, socialists, Italians, Poles,
Hungarian and Russians. all of the
very lowest Of their race, will support
the man whose childish economy and
wild theories are detested in every cap
ital in Europe. These being the peo-
pie who sway public opinion, 1t is the
height of absurdity to rave about
blood being thicker than water"
The Pail Mall Gazette's article Is
written by an American, and concludes
by stating Tammany will win.

for some time. But this was not giving
the scheme fair trial, and in 1898 the
city council grudgingly appropriated
$50, 900 to build and equip new wing
for the purpose. 1t was finished two
years later and in honor of its pro-
moter called the John Worthy school
Last March the school, which had been
put in charge of the board of education,
was opened and since then has been con-
Quoted with much success
1t was not TO be expected that the
school would work any miraculous
change in the youthful sinners who
found their way inside the bridewell
walls. Most of them are committed for
terms averaging not moro than three
weeks at time, and some for even
shorter periods, so that they hardly get
interested in their studies before they
leave to go on the streets again There
have been not a few cases, however,
which have shown that the system is
bearing good results. A dozen or more
boys who had formerly spent their time
in mischievous if not actually criminal
pursuits have, after leaving the prison
school, been permanently reformed and
are either regular attendants at the pub
lie schools or have gone to work with
the serious intention of living honestly
and respectfully.
At present there are about 80 boys in
the school. and most of these are under
10. Older lads, who might be benefited
just as much, are put to work in the
bridewell shops, where their labor is
wanted. An effort will be made to
change this system, as there are accom-
modations for 300 boys in the John
Worthy school There is no dormitory
connected with the school, SO the boys
are obliged to sleep in bridewel cells,
where an attempt is made to keep them
apart from the older prisoners. This
condition of affairs will soon be changed,
for new dormitory is to be built with
in the walls, but entirely separated from
the bridewell
Under the present regime the boys |
rise at 30, spend half an hour arrang- |
ing their cells. receive their bread and /
coffee breakfast at and at s O'Clock

yictoria's Wit.

Mr. Sidney Cooper R. A, was some
years ago painting picture at Osborne
of a fine Guernsey heifer belonging to
the royal farm, and her majesty wished
to see how the work was progressing
The picture was submitted and admired,
and the artist was about to leave when
Prince Albert said:
"How about those dock leaves that
you are introducing into the foreground
Mr.. Cooper"
The artist explained that their intro.
duction was allowable to avoid the mo-
notony, as much as possible, of grass
and earth.
WELL" said the prince loosely,
"they are beautifully painted and as
sist the composition, but they do not
give evidence of good farming"
Her majesty smiled, and, shaking
her finger at the prince, said:
How about the little pool of water
in which the heifer's hind legs are
standing?'
"Oh," said Prince Albert laughing,
81 think it is beautifully artistic idea,
and gives a stamp of nature to the
scene. "
Eyes, Albert, said the queen, "and
l like its introduction very much, brt
it is not evidence of good drainage"
They both laughed The joke was
that at that time her majesty was very
fond of farming and Prince Albert. for
his part, was devoting nearly all his
attention to land drainage. - Strand

Elephants That Count.

Mrs. Marie A. Mile has some "Stn-
ries of Elephants" in St. Nicholas.
Mrs. Mile says
OF their marvellous mathematical pre-
cision and ability to count no dOuhs
can exist in the mind of any one who
has ever visited Mandalay. in upper
Burma. There large forests of teak aro
cultivated by the government for build
ing purposes, and the squared timbers
are placed and secured one above anoth-
er till a raft is formed to float down
the Irrawaddy for conveyance to vari-
Gus other stations Elephants do the
whole of this work. They convey tho
enormous logs down to the water edge,
and pile them one above another, both
lengthwise and across, till a perfect
cube is formed. They show an intelli-
gonce and interest in their work that
seems human, as any eyewitness can af-
firm who has watched AN elephant at
his loading, and then has seen him move
few PAGES TO ono side in order to
Judge of the effect of his work. If the
a pearance of the heapis not quite SYM
n etrical, two elephants force the logs
5Iie way or the other with their trunks
till they get the desired result, and the
perfect evenness and symmetry of the
finished cube is astonishing. They new
CT miscalculate the number required for
each cube, and never overweight it.

TALK ABOUT MONEY.

London, Oct. 4.-The Westminster
Gazette says in its financial article
this afternoon, that the weekly state
ment of the New York associated
banks favors the idea that money will
soon be dearer and adds:
THE return indicates we are ap-
preaching time when shipments of
gold from Europe will commence es-
pecially as lately there has been a
check in buying American securities
for New York on account. Any such
outflow will, we believe affect first
the banks of France.

HOPE FOR BAD BOYS.
THE John WORTHY SCHOOL FOR JU-
vENlLE OFFENDERS.

An Annex to the Chicago Brideweli
Which Removes Young Prisoners From
the Concentrating Influences of Prison
Life and Gives Them a Chance to Reform.
An earnest effort to solve difficult
problem in criminology is being made
by the city Of Chicago. What to do
with the young hoodlums of the streets
who were constantly violating the laws
and city ordinances, but who had not
yet developed into hardened criminals,
was question which long puzzled the
authorities. Many of the boys did not
deserve to be sent to the reform school,
where they would have to stay for a
long term of years and from which they
would emerge worse than when they
entered.
There was no intermediate place be-
tween the reform school and tho city
bridewell, and to the latter they were
sent, there to lningle with men old in
sin. 1t was practically school of crime
for them. They associated and bccamo
acquainted with class of men far more
depraved than those with whom they
would naturally have come in contact
ON the streets. They learned to look up
to them and to emulate their evil deeds.
Many protests were made against this
system, but no remedy was suggested
until John Worthy, rich resident of
the North Side, was appointed bridewell
inspector in 1891. In a conscientious at
tempt to perform the duties Of his office
he became very much interested in the
Juvenile offenders whom he saw behind
the bars. He realized the grave defects
of the system which threw them into
daily companionship with the worst Of
the city's criminal class, and he at once
set about the work of changing it.
AS result of his efforts the PROPOSE
ton was made to establish in the bride
well department where incarcerated
boys should not only be separated from
older criminals, but where they should
be given useful instruction and receive
both mental and manual training. AL
though the project was not received
with anything like enthusiasm it was
agreed that the experiment should be
tried
The chapel was at first used as a
schoolroom, and here classes were held

Provincial Breeding.

1t is now universally conceded that
the most undeniable mark of provincial
breeding is to open conversation with a
slight acquaintance-on meeting him
or herewith the remark, You do not
remember me, or Il see that you have
forgotten my name. 1t has been dis
covered that it was said by Lord Ches-
terfeld, that prince of wits and most
polished noble of his day, that a
man must, indeed, have spent his
life in the country whose circle of ac-
quaintance is so small that he can put
a name to each member of it the instant
he sets eyes upon him. And the man
who feels himself of such vast impor-
tancc' that his name must impress itself
mdelibly on the memory of the nearer,
even when heard on more than one &C.
casion, displays an ingenious self salts
faction which reveals but slight knowl-
edge OF the vastness and constant occu-
pations of the world of fashion and

It's not his name that is remembered,
but himself. -

in addressing any but AN old friend on

time, that one should begin by saying

BIG SHIPMENT OF GOLD.

Colorado Springs, Col. A novel
scheme for handling the gold output
of the Cripple Creek mines will be put
into use by the operators of that dis
trict. The plan is to set aside the
output for one month, take bullion
therefrom, ship it to the United States
mint at Philadelphia in single con-
signment.. The bullion will be placed
in charge of some express company
which can guarantee its safety. At
present the output Of Cripple Creek is
over s1,0OO,00O per month. This will
be one OF the largest shipments of gold
bufion that ever crossed the contin-
ent.

EDITORIAL DUEL.
Differences Between An Editor and a
Judge.

Waco, Tex, Oct. 4. -(SpeciaD-Wac
furnishes another sensational incident
today resulting from the mobbing of
Editor w. C. Brann by Baylor Univer-
sity students last Saturday. Judge G..
b. Gerald, one of the most prominent
citizens of the city prepared a commun
ciztiens of this city prepared COM
munication Saturday night which was
accepted for publication by the Waco
roundly condemned the mobbing, scor-
ing it mercilessly. The communica-
ton did not appear yesterday morn
ing in the paper, Editor ]. w. Harris
finally refusing to publish it. Judge
Gerald called at the editorial rooms
this morning and requested Mr.. Harris
to return the communication. He
failed to get it and this angered him.
Mr. Harris struck him and he attempt
ed to draw a pistol. A scuffie ensued
at the head of the stairs and the pistol
was dropped and rolled down. Har-
ris struck Judge Gerald several times,
gashing and bruising his face and
knocking him down the stairs. Judge
Gerald is looked upon by all who know
him as probably the most fearless and
determined man in Texas and the en-
tire community is anxious about the
outcome of the affair, which 1t Is
thought by many may be fatal to one
of the principals.
The grand jury is investigating the
mobbing by the students. A public
mass meeting of citizens will probab-
ly be held tonight to take some ac-
ton upon the affair.
