on alighting he gave his cabman his
card, in case he should be wanted as
witness. The case came on, and Sir
Richard, on entering the court, was
asked to take a seat near the bench.
The verdict was given in his claimants

WHY CRIME INCREASES.
Methods of Punishment Not Deter,
rent, and Penalties Too Uncertain

Methods of Punishment Not Deter
rent, and Penalties Too Uncertain.
Some unpleasant facts in regard to
the increase in crime in the United
States and some of the causes which
have produced it were recently laid be-
fore the social science department of
the Philadelphia Civic club by Gen.
Isaac j. Wistar. Passing over the sta
tistics, which were not new, Gen. Wis
tar's views as to the causes of the in
crease of crime may be briefly sum-
opinion, is that the methods of pun
ishment are not deterrent. He assert
ed, on the authority of the Pennsylva-
mia board of charities, that many of the
81 jails in that state are nests of crime,
maintained for the pecuniary benefit
OF county politicians, where the sher-
if is the boss politician. In some of
these jails, he said, indecent pictures
are hung on the walls, and the prison
ers are supplied with cards so that
they may spend their evenings pleas
antly. A prison, Gen. Wistar contin-
ued, should be a place of punishment,
and above all place where the pris-
oner cannot be further contaminated.
TO this end separate confinement he
regards as necessary, and he is not
shaken in this view by the claim that
separate confinement largely increases
cases of insanity. There is no more in
sanity inside a prison than outside
among the same classes. Gen. Wistar
maintains, and much of it in the prisons
is feigned to furnish greater opportuni-
ties for escape.
Another cause of the increase of
crime, in Gen. Wistars opinion, is the
delay and the uncertainty in punish
ment. For this criminal Jurisprudence
is at fault. The appellate courts, he
says, appear to devote themselves, not
to the trial of the criminal, but to the
trial of the judge that convicted him,
i'll the hope that they can prove their
astuteness by showing that he COM
mitted some error. In some extreme
cases new trials have been granted be-
cause of misspelled words in the legal
documents. One way to reform this,
suggested by Gen. Wistar, is to deny
the right of appeal in criminal cases.
This, he claims, would not be hard
ship, inasmuch as the criminal has four
trials, the first before magistrate, the
second before the grand jury, the third
and the fourth Ga retriaI before the
higher criminal court. Other remedies
are suggested by the causes that show
their need. Still another advance
would be the reorganization of the
prison system on the English plan, by
which in Great Britain the number of
criminals has been reduced 81 per cent.
in 20 years. Gen. Wistar did not be-
ieve the people here were worse than
in England, and there was no reason
10 believe that remedial measures which
are successful in Great Britain would
not be successful here.-N. Y. Post.

Cowhide, Cnlfskln, and shcepskin, and the
Uses to Which They Are ChIeay Pat.
White cowhide has long been used
for various purposes, Though It's place
has now been taken to considerable
extent by other and cheaper feathers.
1t is used. for example, In making sus-
pender tips. and its use In making mill
tary belts is familiar For this pur-
pose it is made up with lne flesh side
out, and the belts are whitened as oc-
oasion may require with chalk or pipe
clay. White calfskin is more cxtens-
lively used than white cowhide. White
calf is used for fine and costly work In
book binding. 1t may be for gin books.
and sometimes for prayer books. White
calf is also used for suspender tips.
More extensively used than either
white cowhide or white calfskin are
the white sheepskins. White sheep
skin is used also for suspender tips.
and for covering trusses and other ar
ticles OF metal. and for the trimmings
Of shoes. II is used for book binding.
especially for the binding OF medical
books. in which use 1t is first sprinkled
with coloring material which gives 1t
a mottled appearance.

but he never dreamed that love for him

already driven peace from her heart
he would never have believed 1t.
So they went on through the bright

With the days her love grew greater.
There was, indeed, something most low
Ing In the earl now. While she Stunned
and avoided him, she would have
given the whole world for one kindly
word, for one loving glance from him.
She watched him with dim. passionate
eyes. At the sound OF his footsteps
her heart throbbed. and her pulse
quickened mt the sound OF his voice.
Her whole heart went out TO him. He
was her husband. and she loved him
with wonderful love, although she
bhowed none OF II.
With her keen passionate love grew
her jealousy. 1t was not in Lady Ham

He must admire her. Had he not done

as regarded her husband. her plans of
reform. her schemes for the benefit of
others. that she had not given much
thought 10 her own position as n wife
whose husband made no pretease OF
loving her. The knowledge OF her real
status came TO her now with keen
sense OF intolerable pain. yet she
would have borne its bitterness but
for the fear lest the brilliant, beauti-
ful blonde should become as wise as
herself. That would have been intol-
cradle.
A trifling circumstance brought Hill
dred's jealousy to climax. The earl
was going out in great hurry one
morning when he found that the but
ton OF his glove was hanging by
thread. Lady Hamilton. who was en-
gagged on some kind OF fancy work,
with needle and silk In her hand. sat
by. He went to her at once
Lady Hamilton. be kind to me-
give this one stitch" She laughingly
complied; she would not let him re-
move the glove.
You need not take that trouble"
she said-.I can do 1t as 1t is"
With pale face and darkening eyes
the young countess watched the little
scene. Why had he gone to her for
this small service? Why should she
hold her husbands hand and look with
laughing eyes into his face? She could
not endure 1t. she went up to them.
Il thank you. Lady Hamilton" she
said-"I will do that for Lord Cara

Lady Hamilton looked up In amaze
ment. but there was something in the
young countess face which made her
yield at once. She drew back coldly.
Lord Caraven asked me to do it,"
she said.
In all probability he had forgotten
that I was here" she returned. in a
high, clear voice.
The earl. like a prudent tman. re-
mained quite silent. He looted at his
wife's face ~ she bent over the glove.

was she so pale? What was 1t that

Why did the proud lips tremble?
