GREATLY IMPROVED CONDITIONS.
Mrs. Johnson Has Done Good Work at Sher.
burn for Prisoners.

Boston, June 2S.-Mrs. Ellen c. john
son had been superintendent of the
Woman's Reformatory at Sherburn
for IS years. Five years previous to
her appointment she had served on the
board Of prison commissioners.
From the first day she took charge
of the reformatory she directed her
whole attention to improving its con-
ditions firm believer in outdoor life
and an enthusiastic lover or dumb ami
mails. Mrs. johnson soon directed her
attentions to things outside the insti-
tuition. to which the main duties had
heretofore been confined, and soon the
few acres belonging TO the refOrmatory
began to assume farmlike appear
ance Additional lands were purchas-
ed both to provide work for the in
mates and to furnish food instead of
purchasing it.
The new industry became profitable
financially and also proved a tonic for
women in poor health. whose work
about the farm tending horses, cows.
hens. sheep, etc, was very beneficial.
The farm in one year yielded more
than $4,000 worth of produce and other
articles. The live stock, too, was
profitable. the $4,000 worth of farm
products did much to reduce the cost
of maintenance. and under the man
agement of Mrs. Johnson these pro-
ducts cost the state very little money

Vancouver. b. c., June 2S.-The as

The Hague has led Viscount Miura. the
fire-eating Japanese general. TO join
hands with Count Okuma in crusade
against the extension Of the army and

viscount thinks that Japan is under no
necessity of being prepared for mill
tary action. He says:
China has neither power nor inten-
ton to fight us. The Siberian Railroad
being unfit for rapid transportation OF
troops, RUSSIA ought not to be a cause
If disqui8tudc on our part No Eu-
ropean power would be able to send an
army of 10000 or so, 900 to the Far East.

powers as the standard of our navy.
In a war in which this country may
be involved decisive battles will be

THE STUDENTS ARE AHEAD.
cOmical Situation at Lyons. Neb.. With Little
Credit to the School Board.

Lyons. Neb.. June 2S-The school
board of this city resigned in a body.
yesterday, because the High school
graduating class persisted in appearing
on the stage on Commencement night,
CARRIED in overalls. The students
claimed TO have suffered certain humil
iations at the hands of the board, and
by way Of retaliation adopted the word
Work" for their class motto and de-
termined to appear in laborers' garb
TO claim their diplomas.
The board, learning of the plan. en-
deavored to suppress it, and, failing
in that, informed the class that the ex-
penses of the Opera house would not be
met from the school fund. The grad
yates answered this move by charging
an admittance fee. and the townspeople,
entering into the spirit of the jest,
crowded the house to the doors.
The board looked upon this result as
an endorsement of the students course
and resented it by abandoning the
management of the city's educational
affairs.
