UNsCIENTIFIC PUNISHMENT.

UNSCIENTIFIC PUNISHMENT.
Accompany me, in your minds eye,
into any one Of the prison shops said
a noted criminologist. 'Yonder sits a
quartet with folded arms, silently
whispering. The central sun of the
group is an effeminate- looking Grim
inal against nature whose furrowed
cheek, thick, sensual lips, and deep
sunk eyes stamp him as an irreclaima-
BILE pervert. He smirks at you as you
glance his way, and then continues
whispering to his pals without attract
ing the keepers attention. You cast
your eyes on his neighbor. He appears
to be a conscience mitten lad of not
over eighteen years, with a secret sad
ness already written in fine lines on
his brow; truly an 'accidentaF Grimm
al. His sentence the keeper tells you,
is two years, and he Is frsh from the
city He makes an effort to appear at
ease in his new environment. Appar-
emily, he has only learned thus far to
endure those about him, for he listens
carelessly. Time and habit will prob
ably make him more plia BILE. The third
of the coterie is a sullen-visaged gar
roter and murderer, an apt son of
Belial, whose prodigious fame, puny
head-piece, and malformed nose and
ears bespeak him the man who, ten
years ago, throttled his wife, chopped
her into quarters, and shunted the
CHASTITY pile into the East river. His
term is life. The last of the con-
stellation is healthy type of youth
full river thief, recently sent up for six
years. lie wears a daredevil express
sion of countenance, and faunts the
pendant wing ear of the criminal by
heredity. He takes easily to his COM
panions, and joins in the whispering
readily. Now, can these four STRANGELY
dissonant characters. by any license of
imagination, be adjudged of the same
stamp of degeneracy, as evincing
like degree of hopefulness, and as
amenable to one set of measures for
their rescue? They are. notwithstand-
ing, arbitrarily labelled by the system
now in vogue as of one brand, and, by
the fortuitous circumstances OF but
one conviction being registered against
them, have become perforce bedfel-
lows"

TWO COINCIDENCE STORIES.
Told in Good Faith in Club Where
All Romancing is Barred.

NAooNt
All Romancing is Barred.
II was the secretarys turn to tell a
yarn to his fellow mebers of the Coin
cidence club. The Coincidence club,
by the way, has no cumbersome ma
chinery. 1t has members and officers,
meets once a week to tell queer stories
along the line suggested by its name,
and everything but the strict truth is
barred.
1--WE got two stories, much alike, to
tell. There's nothing dramatic or sem
sational about them. They struck me
as queer, though. You know I'm a
lawyer. One day man named Dodge
brought in a letter of introduction to
me from a friend out west. He had a
simple sort of case, and I asked him
to come back at o'clock that after
noon. Then I went over to the Grim
inal court on business that kept me till
within a few minutes of o'clock AS
I entered my office there was a man
sitting in the shadow. ithout really
looking al him, and with my mind full
of the appointment 1 said, as l went
to my private office.
GLOW are you, Mr.. Dodge? I'll see
you IN q minute.
'Pretty soon I rang and told the Of
flee boy to show in Mr. Dodge. The
man came in and he wasn't my Mr..
Dodge at ALL Imagine my surprise
when he said:
.'' How did you know my name?
Sat the same time he handed me a
letter of introduction from a friend in
down east. His name was Dodge, all
right, ard he had a case. I gasped over
the oddly of the situation, explained
the coincidence to my visitor, and even
showed him the other letter of intro
duction. But the man did not believe
me. He evidently thought I was a
liar. and left without putting his case
in my hands. A few minutes later in
came the first Mr.. Dodge and we had
a good laugh over it.
1.-THE other coincidence was this: l
got letters from two friends-one west
of Chicago and one south, asking me
to collect claims against a big Chicago
firm and a big insurance company with
an agency in Chicago, I tleephoned
and made appointment with represent
tatives of each of the concerns-one at
IL and the other at 1890 O'clock.
went out on an errand and was de-
Iayed till 1890 O'Clock. When I came
in both men were waiting. Strange as
it may seem, both men were named
Rose. l introduced them. One was
originally from Rhode Island and the
other from Connecticut AS far as
thew could figure out they were not
related. I've used false names, but
otherwise the stories are strictly true,
and can be proven by evidence that
will pass muster in court of law

The old Duke of York, whose efhgy IN
Roman robes looks down from the top OF

Mall in st. Jamess Park, was once Com
mander-in-Chief, and being OF nature hos
pitable. frequently entertained the o1hcers
under his command. The Duke could emp

est ease on festive occasions, and the
military of the period were no laggards
in this respect either.
on one occasion the empty bottles had
accumulated inconvenently, and the
Duke called 10 a servant: Take away
these marines" Now a distinguished Of
