loss of the wife frequently leads to
mental arrangement and certain kinds
of self-contrOl are difficult for this class
to exercise. In general there isEa de-
crease in .criminality of the married
the longer they have been in the mar
RED state. Among the restraints which
marriage places upon the married man
IS the fear of bringing disgrace upon
his family and lasting shame upon his
children. The temptation of the mar
ried man to indulge in the pleasures of
the public house is less than that of the
single man. With the need of defending
and supporting a family there comes,
too, increased respect for religion, law
and property, the defending and sup
porting of the institutions of society.
Lastly, strong deterrent effect of
marriage upon criminality results from
the influence of constant and intimate
association of the man with a member
OF the sex whose criminality is low
compared with that of his own.

MAKES MEN GOOD.
Marrying, AS General Rule, I'M
proves the Man.


Friedrich Printing has just published
in Germany some of the results of his
study OF the influence of marriage upon
the criminality of men. From criminal
statistics he deduced that property
rights of all kinds are respected more
generally by the married than by the
single. Such graver offenses as rob-
berry, extortion and fraud are commit
ted by married men with comparative
infreuuency When he is driven to the
unlawful requirement of material goods
he generally chooses some less danger
GUS method Receiving stolen goods,
breaking of laws relative to trade, COM
merce and public health forcfble deten-
ton of pieces of property, bankruptcy,
ETC.. are the forms which offenses
against property usually take among
married men. Among those married at
extremely early age trespaSSes against
the rights of property are more COM
mon than among the unmarried of
CORE ronding age. This is explained by
the fact that poverty is frequently con-
cOInitant or result of such maria eS.
Incendiarism is found most largely
among the unmarried between 80 and
go years of age The unmarried outrun
the married in the offenses against NOR
ality. and also in those against human
life, but the married SurpaSs the I'M
married in careless and negligent kill
ing and wounding. The difference in
criminality between the married and
the unmarried grow less with advanc-
ing years. Between the ages of so and
so years it is small, and after that it is
even less. Drunkenness claims the ma
jor share of it's victims between the
ages of 80 and so years.
The criminality of widowers between
the ages of 80 and so years is notably
greater than that of other classes. The

IDAHO GovENNoR TALKS.
Governor Steunenberg Tells of. Con
ditions In the Occur d'Alenes.

O1ClOuS Ii LIE SOCuI u aASASS.
Governor Steurenberg, chief execu-
tive of Idaho. was a visitor in Salt
Lake the other day.
The conditions in the Occur d AIenes
are most encouraging, said he, in re-
Spouse tC an inquiry. The whole OF
Shoshone county is still under martial
law, and the country was never in a
more quiet and peaceful "a ate than
now All of the mines have resumed
business, most of them on even a
larger scale than before. The condi-
tions up in that region We're such, be-
fore the present troubles, as existed in
other parts of the United States In
real truth, that part of the state of
Idaho was not part of the United
States, for it was under a government
that was unique 1t was ruled by the
so-called miners unions. 1t was really
a state of anarchy that obtained, for
the miners ruled everything. They had
possession of the public offices and then
put at defiance all law and order 1
am q union man myself, and a hearty
believer in unionism, but not the kind
that ruled up there. They stuck at
nothing, those fellows, and by reason
of the control they had over the Off
GERS they could do what they pleased
with impunity. for they could not be
punished
But now all is changed; most of
the old miners have left the country
and new men have taken their places
a bettre class of men the newcomers
are, too. do not know how long we
shall have to keep Shoshone county
under martial law, but it Will be just
as long as we are uncertain of the out
come of the difficulties, and that will
be some time yet"
1t would be interesting to hear the
opinions of the union miners about the
governor of Idaho.

What the Church Carpet Cost.

The Chicago Advance gives the fol-
lowing estimate Of the direct and col
lateral cost of a church carpet. The
price was $500, but as the women OF
the church raised the money by Civ
ing entertainments, the pastors estl-
mate was that when all the items OF
cost were figured in the carpet had cost
fully 81 600. He reached this astonish-
ing total by estimating the work,
worry, nervous Strain, bodily wea1i-
ness and heartaches of 100 women,
the heroic efforts Of men, women and
children to eat the things which were
TO be eaten and hear, see or buy things
which had been provided to extract
money from them; the colds, fevers
and other ailments contracted while
attending the entertainments and the
consequent doctors bills; the money

/ great powerful race horse like Mesmer-
! ist young doom canters out on the
/ track invariably a gasp of Amusement
and pity is heard from the grand stand.
| The eyes of every woman are turned
on this little fellow with a baby face,
and the wonder is that he can even
maintain his seat.
There are, perhaps, fifteen horses in
! the race with combinations of jockeys,
skilled and unprincipled, whose object
| is to get OdOm lin a pocket or crush
him against the rail-anything to pre-
vent hiTa from winning. But this lad
is not to be inundated and will take
any chance. Thousands of persons all
over the country are betting on his
horse, oftentimes only because Odom is
the rider.
The instructions are too take the
rail" at all hazards, and this is one
of the most dangerous feats in turf
riding. It means that with horses tear
ing along like mad all about him, and
purposely blocking him off, that he
may not get the most advantageous
position. The jockey must guide his
horse to the rail and, if necessary,
force him in between the rail and an
other mount, whereupon he is hurled
against the staunCh wooden fence with
such force that one can almost hear
his bones crunching. After taking
the rail- boy will often be practically
paralyZed for days and the whole side
of his body discolored-
George OdOn is one of the few jock
eys who will take the rail, and the
betting world know this. Moreover, he
weighs but eighty-seven, pounds and
keeps in splendid training. Like the
other boys he must go to bed at 8
o'clock every evening, attend church
on Sundays. use no tobacco or alco-
holic stimulants and continually take
long walks in heavy clothes in order
to keep down his flesh. He spends his
evenings quietly reading some good
novel CT a history and is a modest. I'M

ton with the racing track has not con-
terminated. He is q Georgia boy by
birth and has all the pleasant little
courtesies and manners of the south.
