ARMY SUPPLIES AT DE AAR.


 In their Cuban war the United States first dsembarked their troops near San tiago and dispatched the supplies and provisions later on leaving the men to fare very i'll while they waited; here we have adopted the reverse system we have sent an immense quantity of supplies to De Aar, close to the enemys frontier, without the men to protect the, which seems a somewhat happy go lucky way of doing things, courting of disaster.
 It was about month ago that the order was given to form an advance depot here and ever since then hand ful of officers, principally of the Army Service Corps have been working like slaves-that hornely expression best conveys the truthto get all ready for the coming army. Ten thousand horses and mules have already been collected in this camp, and a thousand native drivers are encamped here: hundreds of transport wagons are ranged in lines; mountains of forage are piled on the veldt the cases of biscuits form breast works to defend the ever augmenting mass of stores, worth now nearly
 
 further loads of wagons and supplies of all sorts; while trains of mules stream daily across the dusty plain to the camp. Great sheds and other creations of corrugated iron have recently risen from the plain, and others are in course of construction.
 It is all being admirably done, every thing is we'll planned and ordered. One is reminded of the splendid organization of the Soudan advance. It is a busy scene here from dawn to dark; all men are hard at work-those of the Army Service Corps and Army Ordnance Corps at the respective duties; the sap pers digging trenches, constructing water troughs; and so forth--wells have been sunk and pumps erected, lengths of hose convey water from the tanks to different portions of the camp. In short, one sees here all that skilled. laborious, indispensable preparation for the cam paign of which the British public knows so little and which never receives it's due credit at home.-War correspond ence of the London Post

other. At night he is let down for six
 hours to sleep as he can on board laid
 on the stone floor of the cell. In the l course of the day he is given a few
 ounces each of bread and water as his l food for the tWenty-four hours. This | punishment is continued for a length
 of time, varying from a few hours to | twenty days, and proportioned to the | enormity of the prisoners offence of the
 frequency of its repetition. It may be | shortened at the end of certain speci- | fled times by the prisoners assurance
 that he will not willingly offend again. | The prison physicians make daily exam ination of the apparent effect of the 1 punishment on the mans physical con- | dition and if they believe his health is being permanently impaired thereby they have authority to end it, although
 they are not expected to have con- sciences abnormally developed in the ! exercise of this authority. I think prison physicians generally admit that the nature of this punishment is ad
 mirably adapted to end all disobedience and defiance by killing the man who practices them.
 Occasionally a prisoner is sentenced to wear the ball and chain and if he has tried in vain to escape this is likely to be a part of his punishment. The lighter violations of prison law are pun- ished by taking away the privilege tickets given the prisoner the day he is received into the institution, and this stops his weekly ration of tobacco, his letter-Writing and his seeing friends It sometimes happens that the loss of visiting privileges, seem more of a hard ship to the offending convict's friends
 than to him. A member of his family may spend two or three days to make the round trip and travel two or three hundred miles to pay him visit, and arrive at the institution only to learn that the man he proposed to visit has forfeited his privilege to receive visits by his disobedience. Again and again, in my four years at Joliet, I was asked by prisoners of this class to inquire whether or not friends coming for this purpose would be allowed to see them and to write asking such friends not to come until they were notified that the way was open for the visit. To many convicts, however, this deprivation is no punishment, as nobody ever appears at the prison to visit them. Prisoners deemed notoriously dangerous are not granted the freedom of the Sunday school or of the evening schools. Only in the case of the men confined in the dark cells is there diminution of the quantity of food because of disobedi Chicago Record.

PRISONERS AND THE RULES.
A Former Chaplain at Joliet Tells
 About the Great Prison Near Chica-

A Former Chaplain at Joliet Tells go.
 The prison rules demand of the con- vct implicit obedience to all rules and regulations and to the commands of the officer in whose charge" he may be
 placed. When he is received into the prison he is told officially that his first duty is to obey and that only be obed- ence is 1t possible for him to make that
 record which under the provisions of state laws will secure him dminution of his sentence. The rules and reeula- tions demand of him strict silence while he is at work and in practice smile is under the ban and is likely to bring re- proof and punishment if the offence is repeated. The rules tell him that he must wear the clothes furnished him by the prison authorities without any al- teration, and the interpretation is so strict that he is not allowed to use the regulation pocket Serchief around his neck to protect it from the sun in sum- mer or from the cold in winter
 From the rules he learns that he must not speak to any visitor Of the in stitution, nor receive from or give to any visitor anything except with the permission of the officer in charge, that he is not allowed to gaze at any persons who pass through the prison. but must give his undivided attention to his work, and that after reasonable instruc- tiCn and experiment he is to perform the amount of labor that would be re- quired of a workman at the same work outside the institution. He learns from the rules that he must not leave the line of march or his place of employ ment; that he must keep his cell and cell furniture in good order, must not mark or scratch the walls or spit on the floor; that he must not carry tools of any kind, pencils, paper or any ma terlal whatever from the shop to his cell; that he must always touch his cap when approaching to speak 10 an off cer, and always must take off his cap when entering the warden house, the office of the commissioners, warden. deputy or other official
 In the way of privileges, the rules in- struct the convict that he is allowed to talk to his cell companion when in the cell, but is forbidden to talk so loudly that he may be heard by the men in ad- joining cells; that he is allowed a ra- tiOn of tobacco each week, to write one letter every fifth week and to receive friends for short time once in eight weeks; that he may receive such week ly papers and periodicals as are ap- proved by the warden, and may use the books of the library-one each week so long as he may desire subject only to the liberal rules concerning their

Should that be settled satisfactory. how

MORE INDICTMENTS.
Knights and Ladies of Security Fraud
Cases Grow.

ance conspiracy case will be asked when
the grand jury assemblies this morning
The basis of the evidence which will
be brought to the attention of the in
quisitors is a policy on the life of Jere-
miah O'Brien for $1,000, issued in favor
of Mrs. Honore O'Brien and James
O'Brien. This policy emanated from
Illinois council 420, knights and Ladies
of Security. Another policy, issued from
Thomas Moore council on the life of
Miss Margaret English for 1000, with
Miss Mary Ann BrenOck as beneficiary,
also will be submitted and witnesses
will testify to the manner in which it
was obtained.
In these cases both Jeremiah O'Brien
and Miss English deny that they had
any knowledge of the existing insurance.
Mr.. o Brien is husband of Nora O'Brien
and son of James O'Brien, defendants
in the case now pending before Jud6e
Brentano. Miss English is an elderly
woman in the employ of John Brenock,
superintendent of the Hawthorne race
track and Miss Brenock is his daugh-
ter.

John O Brien, son of Nora O'Brien and
brother of James, was on the witness
stand yesterday afternoon. He is in the
undertaking business near his fathers
place. He said his mother had nothing
to do with the business, and that James
was merely an emplOye He also said
that his father was 60 years old. In the

Jurors the age of jeremiah OBrien is
given as 49 years. 1t is the intention of
the prosecution to make an attack on
the character and reputation of Mrs.
O'Brien, and this will be based on bill
for divorce filed by jeremiah O'Brien,
but which never came to an issue, as
O'Brien did not prosecute.

by the defense yesterday, proved to be
a witness who did great harm to DIR.
