quired. The regular artillery is
almost useless, and for this duty
General Otis has been using quick
firing field guns and mountain
batteries that is, guns of the
mountain howitzer type, because
they can be transported on mule
back, and for this purpose the
war department are turning their
attention to light automatic or
machine guns which are quite
different from quick-firing field
batteries, and which require horses
to draw them.
The small guns of the automatic
type with ammunition can be
transported by crew of three men.
This was demonstrated in the field
operations around Coloocan when
Ensign Davis went ashore with
one of the Helena's automatic
guns. The dreadful work done by
this small crew showed that Fill
pinos dread these small automatic
guns more than the larger shrap-
nell batteries, and the rifle fire of
a whole company of infantry, and
as fear is the best masters the war
department very wisely preparing
to put full line Of these small
automatic machines into active
operation and we hope they will
have effect desired, Of producing
wholesome fear, into the hearts
of these rebellious people, and
thereby aid in securing an early
and permanent peace.

Ramsey County Jail is presided
over by Nicholas Herges, who is
head jailor. Nick, as they call him,
is a singular mamie has the
happy attribute of being able to
do his duty and at the same time
please those committed to his care.
His position as Jailer is no sine
cure. The friends of the impris-
oned ones get passes from the
sheriff's office to admit them; and
although Nick allows them the
privilege accorded to these passes,
yet he maintains the dignity of
the institution, never has Nick
been known at any time to be dis
courteous to any visitors. He is
liked and respected by all people
The toughs he controls by words
of kindness and holds them within
the bounds of duty. Those of
whom he feels that unnecessary
oppression may not be required
are also benefited by his experience
in Jail duty. We would hope al
some future time to see him
should circumstance arise, in Office
within our institution. He is q
gentleman of the highest homo,
and quality, and should he ever
leave Ramsey County Jail, we
would be glad to welcome him
into some Office in the Minnesota
State Prison.

Sacred to the memory of every
German heart is Fatherland and
Bismarck, and the annual assem-
blage of students at the grave of
the honored dead statesman. who
is not dead, but sleepeth, and who
is alive in works we'll done during
his sojourn here on earth, and
who's name will never die that
name of names cemented within
the love of God and Fatherland-a
name which brings up the ideal of
man. Yes, Bismarck was a man,
Just as God the Creator had
created him. His memory is bur-
led deep into the bosom of every
native Of German soil, and is held
in veneration and esteem by all
who have followed his wonderful
career as political man and
statesman. On the Oath of June
the German students memorial
procession was made to Bismarck s
mausoleum at Friedrichsruhe, and
they made one of the most splen-
did demonstrations. 1t was made
up from delegates from all the
universities, gymnasiums and
many schools thousands of visi-
tors attended to swell the pomp
and show, all wearing signs of
mourning.
Herbert Bismarck and members
Of the family received the process
sion at the mausoleum. Herbert
Bismarck made a very impressive
speech: he thanked the students
and said the demonstration was a
sign that his fathers memory was
cherished throughout the Father
land.
Bismarck was student. In his
days he was always student, and
when engaged in the affairs of
Empire and State, he was then a
student. He always held the heart,
love and affection of the young
men of Germany; and his name
will be forever revered.

The danger of war in the Trans
vaal, it seems is because President
Kruger is said TO have repudiated
the British Suzerainty. England's
demand for the franchise for the
Uitlanders is only one Of those
outward and visible signs of the
inward determination Of England's
policy to engulf the Transvaal as
one of her dependencies or colon
les, and the extreme tension on
this point shows no relaxation
whatever. A very general and
wide spread opinion throughout
the Republic is that war with
England is inevitable unless Kru-
ger comedies the Uitlanders' de-
mand. At the same time there
is large following of liberal
ones who do not desire to force
war on Kruger for the sake of
making concessions to men who
are purely gold hunters, and who
have no other intent in the coun-
try but to obtain the yellow metal.
It is we'll known and thoroughly
understood that the inside of the
present Boer-British situation is
in the fact the determination of
England to take and Lord the
country. It is true the Beers have
not extended any hospitality to
new comers, and those who have
ventured their all and their lives
along to enrich the settlement,
have been treated more like slaves
than white men. At the same
time it may be said that they did
not have to 60 there; but then it
may also be said that persons did
not have to 60 to Alaska-but
they went Just the same, so at
tracted by gold. Seekers Of the
yellow metal went to Transvaal,
and that being the course of
human events it became necessary
for Kruger to enact such laws as
would apply to the new conditions
of things.
These newcomers, or Uitlanders
as they are generally called, were
entitled to recognition; they paid
taxes and tythes, and the old
settlers actually lived on the ex-
tortions made upon the newcomer,
and this state of unfairness could
not continue forever Under these
circumstances large number of
British subjects petitioned their
government, and presented their
case, and Kruger refused to con-
cede any privileges to the new
corners, and finally England has
decided to set up a Suzerainty
over the entire population, and
give fair and equal franchise to all
people alike.

IT is expected that t he war de
partment will make preparations
to increase the efficiency of the
American Artillery on duty in the
Philippines. It seems that the
Filipinos are much afraid of our
machine guns, by reason of their
terrible execution. In conse-
quence of the bad condition of
cross-country roads and the large
amount of cross-country work re-

bright and clear. All the elements
were in harmony, and as the first
rays of the sun rubbered over yon-
der hill, the boom, boom of giant
frecracker and bomb, exploded by
patriotic sons, could be heard
everywhere. At half-past nine one
and all retired from the dollhouse
to the park, which was gayly fes-
TONED with flags and bunting.
The change from dollhouse to park
was made quicker than "Klondike
Johnny could roast a bedbug
from it's lair.
The chapel exercises were dis
pensed with on account of the ex-
cessive heat. Three hours of free
dom we're allowed in the park, in
which all restraint was abandoned
and each amused himself accord
ing to individual temperament and
taste. While some ran races,
wrestled and sang songs, others
were contented to quietly chat
with one another and inhale the
pure unadulterated ozone. Sew
eral balloons sent up, gave added
zest and animation to the sports
for it recalled happier days in our
youth than the present-days be-
fore we imagined that virtue could
be sham, and honesty a pretext
to ensnare the gullible and uniniti-
ated.
Toward the close of the exer-
cises, an excellent band and a
parade-wagon full of ''warm coons''
arrived upon the scene. The band
entertained US with several selec-
tons which we're heartily applaud
ed by the music-loving gentlemen
temporary residing here. The col.
ored quintet we're extended the
freedom of the place by Sam Bal
timore. He did this in few we'll
chosen words and a business-like
way that the visitors must have
thought that this was Sans
specially. They acknowledged the
courtesies by singing songs that
we're immensely fetching, espe-
cially omong the colored boys
The band and quintet, we believe,
were duly appreciated by all. The
only fault which we personally
could find with them is that they
might have came sooner.
AS the whistle sounded, each
man formed in line and marched
to the dining hall to partake of a
holiday dinner, after which we
were locked up for the remainder
of the day, and given three cigars
and a cup of lemonade.

A TRUE q Ii HEROINE.
Written for The PRISON Mirror.


which was partly opened. He saw
his little ones gather around their
mothers knee; then they knelt,
and clasping their hands began to
lisp the old familiar prayer: "Now
I lay me down to Sleep" He stood
there like one in dream, and he
was startled when his. youngest, a
little girl, added, 'and please God
bless my dear papa, and bring him
home to his little girl" He looked
at his faithful wife. She sat in
the chair with her head bowed; he
could see how pale and worn she
looked; he could see the tears
trickling down her cheeks. Then
his past came back to him; he
remembered all the past; he
thought of the time he knelt at
his mothers knee and said the
same prayer; he thought Of the
time he made the woman before
him his wife, and vowed to love
and cherish. His heart felt as if
it would burst, when he remem-
bered how he had kept his VOW.
Oh how selfish! He knew he had
been bunting the finest part of
his nature by the accursed stuff,
and neglecting such love as this to
feed depraved appetite. Great
dry sobs were rising in his throat;
his chest was heaving with long
suppressed emotions, and soon the
tears we're pouring down his
cheeks. He vowed that God help
ing him, he would be a new man
and build a new life from the
depths into which he had fallen.
He approached the door; the
marks Of agitation were still upon
his face. but hope had rekindled
in his heart. In such steadfast
love, that had ever been lavished
upon him from those he had neg
lected, he felt he could do any,
thing. He opened the door, the
wife was still there with the chill
dren around her. She looked up
as the door opened, and with the
words dear husband" they were
. clasped in each others arms, with
all the past gone from their mind.
They were still the old sweethearts
Of long ago. The children gath
cred round him, and pushing him
into a chair, he soon had three
pairs of arms around him, and
sweet kisses were being pressed
, upon his cheeks. He felt new
man-all the old cynicism had
flown, and he felt that in their love
he could build up a noble and
useful life.
Butler and his faithful wife sat
long into the night planning in
) what way he could get work. The
prospect looked very dark, but he
was determined to live his past
down. Never a promise did he
make to his wife, but all he said
; to her was, Sweetheart, I am be-
ginning life afresh, with, I sup
pose, nearly all the world against
me to keep me down to the depths
into which I have fallen. But I
wont be kept down. will get up
again and be a man." His wife
kissed him and said:
"Of course you will, dear; I
never doubted that the time would
come when you would be the same
husband and father you used to
be-"
The next morning Butler gave
his wife all that remained of the
money he had got on leaving pris-
on. It was miserably small sum
to begin life on-fifteen dollars;
but that was all he had after pay
ing his railroad fare home. Yet,
the state thought they were ex-
ceedingly charitable to give what
they did, and thought it ample to

would not think the sum very
large. Leaving prison with pallid
faces, bodies, and muscles weak
ened by the sedentiary nature of
the work while there; how could
they be expected to get work
speedily, with prison written on
their face, and not able to do
good days work?
When Butler left the house, he
went to shop that he used to
work in, thinking that perhaps he
might get a chance for a job,
After he had told the boss that he
wanted start to begin life again;
he was very hopeful. He thought
that surely some Of his old mas
tiers would give him a chance,
knowing him as they did, when he
was steady, sober man; but he
didn't know what he had to 90
through before he would succeed
in getting work. He entered the
shop where there we're several
men working; they looked up as
he came in, and in two of them he
RECOGNIZED two old cronies. Thew
never spoke to him. He waited
there patiently until the master
came in, with head bowed down,
and beginning to experience, that
mans inhumanity to man, makes
countless thousands mourn" He
was startled from his thoughts by
a voice asking his business. But
Ter looked up, and stood face to
face with his first employer.
"Mr. Ray, I have just come out
of prison. said Butler. 'and I
thought perhaps you would give
me work. 1 want to begin again,
and 1 assure you that if you will
employ me, you will find me an
honest, sober man. know that I
have done wrong, and I would
give anything to blot it out; but I
cannot, so J must try and show
people by my living that I am
trying to do right
Every sorry, Butler, but I can't
give you job," answered Mr..
Ray. Fact is, the men wouldn't
work with man just out of the
pen. Good morning."
Butler passed out, and as he did
he saw his old boon companions
pointing him out to other men,
and by the sneering smile they
had on their faces, he knew they
we're pointing him out as an ex-
convict. Curse you," said Butler
to himself as he walked down the
street.
His brain was on fire with his
first experience. ''The miserable
DEVILS" he said, Il taught them
the best they know; I drank with
them; lent them money, and
helped them in a good many ways,
and this is the return they make.
l don't want them to speak to me,
but they need not insult a man
that's down."
His first experience had aroused
all the pride within him: he no
longer walked with his head down;
but with head erect, and eyes that
squarely looked you in the eyes.
Shop after shop he went into.
Some places he was told to get
out, they did not want any men of
his stamp around there. Others
refused him politely; but not one
told him they would give him a
chance. All that day he wandered
through the city, flor city it was
now but no work or promise of
work could he get; nothing but
insults, or else a polite "sorry, but
work is too slack; perhaps, when
we get busy we might be able to
employ you," which meant the
same as no.
Butler went home, bitter to-
wards those that insulted him, and
thinking that he could not say
much for those that had refused
him. He arrived home and Mrs.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 19.-There is GER
tain contingent of stock exchange specu,
lators who base their ventures for the
day on the tendency of prices displayed
at the immediate opening Of the market.
Todays initial trading gave promise OF
an active and strong market, and these
symptoms accordingly induced some out
side orders, but there was development
of weakness in the afternoon. The
early demand was stimulated by the
decided strength displayed by the Gran
ger group which was helped by reputed
more favorable climatic conditions in the
wheat belt and encouraging statement
by the Government of the general crop
conditions. These circumstances caused

must not be inferred that there was an
entire abandonment of professional oper-
ations in the Specialties, ms these proper
ties were utilized at times as Il lever
to enhance or depreSs values of other
shares. In fact the afternoons weak
ness could not be directly traceable to
Il brisk selling movement in the high
priced Specialties, which received
momentum subsequently through liberal
offerings Of the Changers on late reports
of crop damage. This statement was
colored to some extent by sharp rise in
wheat with the shorts covering heavily
The late break entirely eradicated the
