ONE WAY TO MAKE CRIMINALS

In this city on Wednesday James
Kelly, II years of age, and William Col
lier, Is years. were arrested and ar
raigned before Magistrate Thornton. The
crime with which they were charged
was swimming in the Schuylkill river
near the Spring Garden street bridge
There are no public bath houses in that
section, and the bOys-as boys will
take to the water to get clean and cool
For this the Magistrate committed
them to jail for five days. 1t has been
shown that one of the easiest ways to
make criminals is to send boys to pris-
on The fact itself and the associations
of the Jail often break the spirit or cor
rupt the habits of boys who might 9TH
erwise grow up to be good citizens.
To send these two boys to Jail for go
ing in bathing on the hottest day of the
year, when the city did not furnish
bathing houses, was wretched piece of
bussness.-Philade1ph North Ameri-
can.
The foregoing is commended to the
considerati of the police authorities of

Philadelphia may be slow in some
things, but not on the matter of knock
ing on the census enumeration. AS an
evidence Of this the following is taken
from the North American:
Census statistics gathered by incom-
petent and Indifferent persons are worse
than useless; they are mischievously
misleading. The census was taken in
Philadelphia by men of that sort. and it
is credited with from 100, 900 to $50 900
less population than she actually has,
and If such a false count is allowed to
stand as the census of the city. she will
lose her rightful place among the great
cities OF the country

that is what he told the people of Law

anything with my being nominated for

JAPAN SENDS HELP.
Famous Battleship Goes to Assistance
of the Oregon.

=, Washington, July zS.-Secretary Long
gram from Lieutenant Key naval at
tache at the United States legation at To-
kio, Japan, in regard to the docking of
the Oregon:
"Tokio, July 8, 1900.
Secretary Of the Navy, Washington:
Port Arthur too small. If Oregon can
not dock at Nagasal<i, Japanese navy de-
partment tenders the of either Kure
or Yokoksulza docks. Offers any assist
ance desired Has ordered Akitisushima
from Che Foo to the Oregon. Have cabled
Wilde offer of docks. KEY"
The naval officials are disappointed at
the statement that the Oregon can not
dock at Port Arthur, as that place is only
about sixty miles from where she struck.
Nagasaki is 600 miles distant, but can be
reached by the Oregon without venturing
far outside of the smooth waters of Pc
Chi Ii. The Japanese vessel Akitisus-
hint which Lieutenant Key reported as
going to the help of the Oregon is the
famous cruiser which covered herself with
renown at the battle of Yalu.
