AYLESBURY PRISON.
4: Is the CnIy One England Has For wo-
men Conyicts.


men Conyicts.
England has only one prison for
female convicts. 1t is now situated
in Aylesbury, which for many
years was the general prison for
Buckinghamshire, though previous
to November, 1896, the female prison
had been at Woking for 20 years.
The change to Aylesbury was ne
cessitated by the requirements Of
the war department, which took
, over the buildings at Woking and
converted them into barracks. Mel
thor the convicts nor the officials
were particularly pleased at the re-
moval, for the contrast between the
two places was marked.
The discipline for the women is
not as severe as in the mems pris-
ons. In the latter absolutely no con-
versation is permitted, but at Ayles-
bury well behaved women are al.
lowed an hour for conversation each
day. In modern prison discipline,
punishment plays small part; in
the women's prison corporal punish
ment does not exist.
The great hold of the prison Off
cials over prisoners is obtained by
the mark system. A prisoner is as
keen on marks as a high school girl.
BY marks she can earn a higher
class in prison, as well as the remis-
sion of third part of her sentence.
Thus a three years penal sentence
may be worked out in two years.
This is called earning the ticket. "
For thelemaining year the prisoner
out on her ticket has only to report
herself every month at Scotland
Yard.
Prisoners are classed as proba.
TONERS, class 3, class 2 and class /.

SCHOOL TABLET ROW.
MIR. woodruff Insists that Druggists
Are Fighting Him.

=. II. Woodruff, supervisor of writing in
the public schools, insists that the criti-
cisms directed against him at the School
Board meeting Friday night are unjust, and
were prompted by the efforts of the Retail
Druggists Association to boycott school
tablet which he has devised. The Indianapo-
lis public school tablet, which he prepared
was copyrighted by the board several years
ago, but the contract for its manufacture
has since expired, and Mr.. Woodruff claims
that its quality has deteriorated. A short
time ago he devised the Woodruff tablet,
which he claims is superior to the other
one, and he says that the two came In conn.,
petition. The jobbers were not able TO sell
his tablet at less than 4S cents a dozen,
while the old tablets were selling at AZ cents
a dozen. AS the retailers sell each tablet
for 5 cents, the teachers and children nat
urally prefer the superior tablet, and the
druggists find a smaller profit than they
would obtain If the old tablet was in de-
mand.
Wr. woodruff says he has not instructed
anv teacher or child to buy his tablet, and
that the children have been told that they
can buy either tablet. He further adds
that an officer of the Retail Druggists AS
ciation told him that association intended
his tablet. Thereupon Mr.. woodruff re-
piled that the tablet would be put on SAFE
AT the groceries, to which the druggists
retorted that the grocers would also Doy-
colt the tablet, as there was more pront III
the old one. -. 49,. o~o
other things that the School Board could
investigate with regard to school supples,
particularly the purchase of material from
a druggist without competitive bidding.

SECRETARY LONG.
Speaking to the toast "The Navy" Sec
rotary Long referred to the high state OF
efficiency of that branch of the naval de-
lenses, as recently demonstrated in the
Spanish war. He then ran into a lighter
vein, and entertained his audience with
bright wit and humor. Towards the close
he grew pathetic and made an almost inn
FASHIONED appeal in behalf of the Queen Of
Spain. He referred tenderly to her mother
love for her son. her heart burnings and
anxieties during the war, and the blightng
Of her hopes by the outcome of the conflict
Her trials, he said, deserved the tenderest
sympathy of every mother. every woman
in America. After the expression of SYM
pathy for the Queen of Spain, Secretary
Long took up the matter of territorial eX-
dorsed the position of the administration.
He expressed the firm conviction that
American domination Of the Philippines
would result in moral and material advan-
tage TO the natives.
SECRETARY WILSON.
Secretary Wilson, in the course of speech
On Agriculture" said: 1.-THE American
farmer is the best educated, best clothed,
best housed, best fed and the most indie
pendent cultivator of the soil upon EARTH
partly because the farmer feeds the artisan
cheaply and feeds him well The best states
manship of our times is that which wisely
considers the case of the laborer in field
and shop, 10 the end that the greatest pos
sible good may be the reward of toll. The
old South reduced the fertility of its fields
for a century producing raw material for
the factories of other sections and other
Iations.
1.-THE new South is dive-sifying it's indus
tries, adding skill to field crops and greater
value 10 the product OF it's mines. The young
farmer OF the South should study soil rather
than the dead language; he should learn Of
the plant in preference to ancient history
and the feeding of animals before giving
time to belle lettres. The study of the move
ment of moisture in the soil will pay better
than the study of oratory. Barnyard pOul-
try offers greater rewards for its intelli-
gent care than county office"
General Wheeler, amid intense enthusi~
asm, replied to the toast Woman" with
glowing, Chiyalrous tribute, which though
very brief, touched the hearts of his South
ern audience.

A BOO GANG VETERAN.
"BOney" Keefe Charged with Stealing
a Christmas Tree.

'Boney'' Keefe, an honored veteran of the
Boog Gang, conceived a novel manner Of
raising beer money last night, according to
the police. He and pal stole two Christ
mas trees and made the round OF the re-.
sorts, trying to sell them. On North East
street Patrolmen Mathey and Shafer met
them. The two were coming out of house
carrying the trees. The policemen caught
Keefe, but the other man hid behind his
tree and ran away Keefe told the patrol
men he had bought the tree for 30 cents at
the market. Patrolman Mathey is proud
father, and he knew that no such spread
ing tree as Keefe carried could be purchased
for 80 cents. So they led him to the market
and found the pile of trees, but no one was
watching them. Keefe was taken to the po-
lice station and locked up. The tree to-day
graces the turkeys office, but no stockings
are hung on it. Keefe was one of the men
in the Ferriter gang the night Ferriter killed
a patrOlman.

poor ones at that. Yesterday he passed one
on George Blue, conductor on the College

CHEMICAL FOR IRVINGTON.
The Town Board Decides to Purchase
One.

The Town Board of Irvington and large
number of citizens last evening decided that
they want fire protection and want it badly.
A delegation of about twenty-five citizens
appeared before the board and the only
sentiment expressed was as above. The
board agreed with the citizens, but debated
at some length as to whether to purchase
q new or second hand machine. There being
no cisterns or other available water supply
for engines, the only thing which can be
purchased is a chemical engine. That one
will be purchased was decided, but a COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. Barnhill,
Browning and Brown was appointed to con-
fer with the officials of this city to see what
a secondhand chemical could be purchased
for. This committee will report at the next
meeting, when the question will be deter

his practice of medicine with the zest of an
ambitious young practitioner, making calls
in all sorts of weather and Sinking none
of the unpleasant duties which many an
elderly physician would excuse himself from
on account OF age. The love Of his profess
sion, for the sake of humanity, is a pre-
dominating trait in his charact Mrs
Wishard is in her seventy ninth year and
with the exception of a slight rheumatic
intirmity is in excellent health. DIR. WISH
ard visited indianapolis as early as 1925 and
has seen the big city grow out of a Village
