There is ample capital back Of the fac

ren.l A.pe cts Of p,unkenness.

The report, recently presented, of a
committee appointed by Mayor Quincy
of Boston to look into the penal aspects
of drunkenness is of INTEREST," Consid-
ering first the public cost of drunken
ness, the committee found that the
cost Of arresting drunkards repi esents
about eighth Of the total expense
OF the Police Department.. That would
give an average cost OF %. "a for each
arrest, or a total for the 26, l57 arrests
in 1898 OF S210, 49l.74, Adding to this
the cost OF maintenance OF those conf
mitted to penal institutions, and de-
Quoting the income from fines paid for
drunkenness, the net cost is found to
be S316, Oh 08. 9G
The large number OF commitments Is
due to the inability to take advantage
of the opportunity to Fay fine, and
herein the committee finds an injus
tice In their view, the system results
in Furnishing the innocent more than
the guilty. Mothers, wives and chill
dren suffer in the absence of tho bread
winner, unable to pay the fine, while
| those amply able TO pay escape practi-
cally without punishment. The others.
are virtually imprisoned for debt.
| Moreover, from business point of view,
as the committee says, it is absurd to
pretend to recoup the county for the
cost Of arresting and trying the offender
by imposing fine which he seldom
pays, and then boarding him at public
expense from eight to twenty days.
Ii the method followed produced any
reform, it would be LEGS open to criti-
cism, but it is asserted that the short
term Imprisonment is without deterrent
or exemplary value. As q remedy, it
is proposed to place the offender whom
it seems desirable to punish by q fine
in care of probation officer for a
longer CIR shorter period, pending the
earning and paying of the fine. Under
this plan, the poor citizen, though still
bound to be punished more than the
rich ono, under any system of fines,
would not be dragged to prison because
Of his po, erty. For the confirmed in
ebriates the committee suggested long
terms of imprisonment in separate in
stitutions, in whioh they could be given
plenty of wholesome and hard work,
preferably out OF doors.

TRAGEDY IN CECIL COUNTY.
Miss Ishoda Jackson shot and Killed Last
Night by siias White.


Elkton, Nd, Nov. ga brutal
murder was committed touieht IN the
Seventh election district Of Cecil
county, near the village of Aiken, on
the line of the b. & o. railroad, thee
miles west of Perryville.
Silas White, aged % years. who fol-
lows hunting and fishing for a liveli-
hood according to the statement OF an
witness, shot and killed Rhoda
jackson, aged IL years, only daughter OF
Frank jackson, prominent faimer.
Miss jackson had gone to the house
of Mrs. Winchester to deliver milk,
and was returning to her horne, when
she was confronted at the back gate by
White, who, without uttering o word,
caught hold Of her with his left arm,
and, drawing a revolver, fired a bullet
into her right temple. The defenceless
woman cried out: "Oh, Silas, / won't
do it again =" hut the man paid no
attention 10 her cries, and sent u second
bullet into ber right eye, and, to make
sure then that she was dead, fired a
third time, the last bullet entering her
neck. White then placed the revolver
in his pocket, and made his escape
through the woods.
The motive for the crime is supposed
/ to be Jealousy, although Miss jackson,
according to her parents, did not re,
ceive visits from any one, and hhd
several times refused to have anything
to do with White, Of whom she was in
constant dread. White had been trying
to get Miss Jackson',s, consent to lei
him visit her, but WITHOUT success.
