one of the most interesting addresses
delivered before the recent prison con-
| gress in Austin, Tex, was that of Presi-
dent Winston Of the Texas University.
Some of the assertions which he made
were almost startling, Notwithstanding
he stated that every fact presented was
based upon official data. More than half
of the criminals in the United States, Pres
ident Winston said. are either colored or
foreigners. yet the colored and foreign
clements constitute only about one-quar-
ter Of the population. In other words %
Der cent of the population furnishes near
~ 60 per cent of the criminals.
The foreign element, president Winston
said. is one and half times as criminal
as the native white element, while the
colored people are three times as criminal
as the native whites. This difference in
proportions is not due to favoritism shown
in the south to white persons accused of
crime, as some northern papers seem to
think. As matter Of fact the statistics
show that the heavier percentages OF
criminals among colored people are in
the north and west. The colored people
of the south show up well in comparison
with those of the north and west. THE
records show" said President Winston,
chat the ratio of negro prisoners and of
negro paupers to negro population is very
much higher in the northern than in the
southern states. The negro is nearly three
times as criminal in the North Atlantic
as in the South Atlantic, over twice as
criminal in the north central as in the
south central, and three and half times
as criminal in the western states as in
the South Atlantic. In short the negro
is fully two and a half times as criminal
in the states where he was free as in those
where he was held in slavery. And the
negro is more criminal as a free man than
he was as a slave
A somewhat unlocked for assertion is
this, that the colored population that can
read and write are more criminal than the
nliterate." While 81 per cent. of the col
ored population are illiterate, only 81 per
cent of the colored criminals are illiterate.
This, however does not necessarily mean
that education as a deterrent of crime is
failure in so far as the negro is con-
cerned. 1t means that the education has
not gone far enough, and that civilization
does not consist merely in the ability to
read and write. Book learning" does not
make character. 1t requires years of pa
uent toll to raise a race from virtual bar
barism to enlightenment and virtue. The
negro must be educated in morals as well
as in the Three RS"

A Crushed HERO.

Joe Lincoln, in l.. A. W. Bulletin.
On log behind the pigsty of a modest
little farm
Sits a freckled youth and lanky, red of
hair and long of arm,
But his mein is proud and naughty and
his brow is high and stern,
And beneath their sandy lashes, fiery eyes
with purpose burn.
Bow before him, gentle reader, he's the
hero we salute,
He is Hiram Adoniram Andrew jackson
Shute.
Search not Fame's immortal marbles.
never there his name your find,
For our hero, let US whisper, is a hero in
his mind;
And youth may battle in glory, wade in
slaughter time on time
When novel, wild and CORY, can be pur-
chased for dime,
And through ream of lurid pages has he
slain the Sioux and Ute.
Bloody Hiram Adoniram Andrew jackson
Shute.
Hark, a heavy step advancing-list, his
fathers angry cry,
He hain't shucked a single nubbin;
where's that good fer nuthin' Hi?"
Here base caitiff." comes the answer.
here am ! who was your slave,
But no more IL DO your shuckin', though
! fill bloody grave.
Freedoms fire my breast has kindled.
there'll be bloodshed, tyrant brute .
Quoth brave Hiram Adoniram Andrew
Jackson Shute.
Breasts a-blazin'. is it, sonny?" asks
his father with a smile,
Kinder like stove, l reckon, what they
call gas burner style
Good base burners what you're needin' /"
here he pins our hero fast
Come, young man, Wen try the wood
shed. keep the bloodshed till the last. !"
And an atmosphere of horsewhip inter-
spersed with cowhide boot
Wraps young Hiram Adoniram Andrew
Jackson Shute.
Weep We now, oh gentle reader. for the
fallen, great of heart,
As We wept DER Sc. Helena and the ex-
He'd Bonaparte.
And picture. sad as that one, 10 your
pity / would show
or a spirit crushed and broken--of a hero
lying low.
For where husks are heaped the highest
Nbrking swiftly hushed ana mute.

Thenter Nmisnnces.

Besides the big hat theater nuisance,
which happily has about disappeared in
this city, and the nuisance of the fellows
who go out between acts and drink beer
and whisky, and eat cheese, and smoke
cigarettes, "there are Others" And one of
the most inexcusable of the others, which
is probably common to the majority of
American cities as well as common in Sa-
vannah, is the rush to get out of the the
alter which begins some minutes before
the curtain goes down. 1t makes no diff
ference what the situation is on the stage,
or what important bearing the finale has
upon the plot of the piece, or how anxious
some of those in the audience are to en-
joy the climax, there is invariably a rush.
hustle and confusion a minute of two be-
fore the final bell rings; and the rush
grows into jam, a crush, by the time
the curtain touches the floor. All of the
rules of politeness seem to be lost in the
grand stampede to reach the open air.
Toes are trodden upon, elbows are thrust
into sides, an article accidentally dropped
is quickly ground under foot ana ruined.
dresses are often torn, and hats crushed
all for the sake of getting out of doors
possibly one minute earlier than if the
getting out were proceeded with in an or
derby manner.
1t makes no difference at what time the
performance is concluded, the rush always
comes at the end of it. If the play were
to last quarter of an hour longer than
1t actually does, the audience would freely
give that much time to it: but when the
end approaches, and the fact that the cur
tain will go down in one OF two minutes
comes to the mind of the hitherto patient
and pleased auditors, Immediately the
rush to gain a minute or two in getting
out begins. And what is done with the
small fraction of time when it is gained? ?
Many of the rushers stop as soon as the
doors are cleared and hang up on the
sidewalk, to see the others come rushing
out. Others, who push and elbow, and
tread on their neighbors heels, leisurely
saunter off to a late supper. where five
minutes, or ten minutes, do not count.
Still others stroll down to the car tracks.
and wait fifteen minutes for a street car.
The majority of theaters in this country
are built with the end in view of the
house being emptied quickly in case of
need. BY the several places of egress the
Savannah theater can be emptied of a
full house, in leisurely ease and comfort.

while to wait, even if it were necessary
to wait the full time in order to conserve

formers of theatrical nuisances would do
