HOW Criminal. Are Mad..

The following note of how criminals
are made reaches us from clergyman
who has been conducting mission in
one of her majesty's prisons. The pris-
oner's story, which is given in his own
words, suggests that there is an aged
as well as juvenile offenders prob
lem, and it reminds us painfully Of the
harsh and hidebound administration
of justice which amateur magistrates
too often indulge in: II have been
locked up three times. As long as l
was in work l was never in trouble,
then got out of work, and everybody
preferred putting on younger men. 1

what it was to be downright hungry? !?
Well, 1 begged at door. l knew it
was wrong, but 1 begged, and I got
locked up for it. When I came out I
said: I won't do that again. So l
got some leather and cut out pair OF
bootlaccs, and tried to sell them.
Then l got run in again for hawking
without license. When came out 1

THE RUSSIAN GRAIN GROWER.
He II Subjected to Constant Loss
Through the Oppression of
Authorities.

Owing to imperfect or expensive
transportation the peasant is not in the
best position to obtain the full benefits
of markets. "The harvest ended, each
man brings his grain to market. Hop
ing to realize a more remunerativc
price by carrying his produce to a cen
trail or larger market, he makes appli-
cation to travel. Here the factor steps
in. In conjunction or in collusion with
the local police, obstacles are thrown in
his way week after week. Ten, twenty
or one hundred are in the same pre-
dicament. Finally, with the local sta
ton or market glutted with the yield
of county, the factor steps in and
agrees to take all the grain in sight for
about rs per cent. below it's market
value. They have no choice, and thus
a crop grown at a cost of 25 per cent.
interest (paid to the factor for ad-
vances) frequently pays 25 per cent. ad-
|ditional after its maturity" Not only
does such system of handling grain
cause loss to the farmer through low
prices, but even more through the ac-
tual destruction of grain. 1t is esti-
mated that millions Of bushels of grain
are lost annually on account of the
failure of railways to afford transporta-
ton facilities or shelter for grain
brought to them for transportation

STIRRED UP THE DoNs.
An American in Madrid Gave the
Spaniards Some Music They
Didn't Like.

A Detroiter recently back from
abroad relates an experience that is
entirely self-explanatory. "In Ven
ice," he tells, Il fell in with southern
soldier of the war. He left college and
magnificent home as volunteer,
coming out of the conflict with little
but his own attainments and strength
of purpose. Now he is fascinating
man of large means and has some
very important business connections
both in England and on the continent.
At his invitation, and for the sake of
his delightful company, accompanied
him to Madrid, where there were mat
ters requiring his attention.
when we reached there the rum

heard and the impulsive people had

was said in his presence there was 4
pretense that it was not intended for
his ears.

our presence. At length one of the
Dons, with sneer and the most eX-
cruciatingpoliteness, asked the colonel
intense surprise of the Don and all
others who had heard the request, the
colonel accepted with bow. His first
touches showed that he was a master,
and he drew upon Beethoven, Mozart,
Chopin and Liszt in a way that drew
the most enthusiastic applause, for
music hath charms that soothe even
the savagery of Spanish breasts.
when the colonel suddenly left the
classics to give them the ''Star-Span-
yled Banner" some of the men scowled,
but the ladies still called for more
and were treated in rapid succession to

the latter forth in song, causing the
Dons to fairly dance in their wrath.
He left the piano as cool as though
nothing unusual had occurred, and
showed such utter Indifference to the
mntterings about him that the fire

wanted to offer kept them in hand.

A Fortune to Pale Klondike wealth.


Fortunes have been. made in devices
to keep children's shoes from wearing
out" said the father Of a family, "but
every parent knows that there are
greater fortunes yet to be made in that
field. When one considers the number
of children that must be shod and the
money that would accrue from even a
small royalty on every pair of shoes
worn by them, it will be seen what pos
|sibilities there are here for fortune,

Special Dispatch to the Post Intelligencer
WASHINGTON, June Navy department Of
ficias received with ill-conceaed delight the news
that Sampson had put cork in the Santiago bottle
with Cervera inside.
It's effect also was to hasten matters at the war
department, and orders regarding the embarkation
Of troops flew over the wires to the South. The
president can see no reason why his plans for the
capture of Santiago and the invasion of Porto Rico
cannot be carried out at once.
These plans materially differ from those of three
weeks ago, when an invasion near Havana and the
bombardment of that city were determined upon.
The cabinet were unit then upon that point, but
delay brought change of plans to accord with the
change in the situation. The regular troops
will storm Santiago, joining forces with the nsur-
gents in that province.
Victory at Santiago will be followed by orders
to Gen. Lee to embark 10000 troops for Porto Rico
Sampson will assn lombard San Juan, and when
the forts have been silenced Lee will attack the
1000 Spanish soldiers there
The president believes that this will end the
war and avoid exposure of the soldiers to Cuban
fevers.
He also understands that in order to retain
Porto Rico indemnity for the war, it is necessary
TO have large army of occupation there when peace
is declared, that claim of sovereignty may be ac.
knowledged by the leading powers of Europe.

The dispatch adds there was heavy cannonading

In the evening, the dispatch goes on to say, at
distance of about eight miles off the coast, twenty
American warships. FIVE of which were cruisers,
could be seen. 1t is believed in Santiago de Cuba
that this was the united feet of Rear Admiral Samp-
son and Commodore Schey.

WASHINGTON June 4-From early morning,
when the first newspaper appeared on the street,
containing the brief statement of the sinking of the
Merrimac in Santiago harbor, the officials of the
navy department awaited with intense interest the
official confirmation and explanation of Admiral
Sampson.
In the afternoon the story came out lacking in
detail. ii is true, giving in rough outlines sketch Of
American heroism that will live through generations
TO come. There is no doubt that the Hobson
is destined to be braekcted with that of Gushing

that the exploit surpassed in brillianey and an
