AMONG THE PLAYERS

The Paterson, N. j., Evening News
says: Last night the Waite Comedy
Company opened a weeks engagement
at the Opera House presenting Lincoln
]. Carter's sensational melo-drama
Just Before Dawn. Long before the
curtain arose people were turned away
from the box Office, all the seats and
available standing room having been
sold. The play was given to the evil
dent satisfaction of the audience; ii ap-
plauded the members of the company
whenever a good chance was presented
and in justice to the company it must
be said there were many. The play
was superbly mounted and the story
was well told, and acted by as clever a
company as Mr.. Waite ever brought to
this city. The performance was far
superior 10 the one given last year by
Mr. Carter's own company. Between
the acts clever specialties were intro
duced and above the average class us
ually presented by popular priced or
ganizations." AT the Grand Opera

able. He was informed that if he
remained in Columbia the hazing
would be repeated every week.
He left, sent his trunk home, and
attempted to enlist in the army,
Being under age and falling in

Our County JailS.

THE Missouri State Association
of Charities and Correction held a
session at Columbia last week and
there was one subject discussed
that we have thought needs atten-
ton even in these ends of the
earth. 1t was the question of
County Jails of the State" Rev.
DR.. A. f. Rogers, formerly pastor
of the Baptist church of this city,
was to have read paper on the
subject, but was unable to be pres
ent and sent the following brief
letter, which we hope our readers
will give a careful reading:
III was anxious to speak on the
subject assigned me. The condi-
ton of our jails is deplorable. No
attention is paid to sanitation. As
rule dirt and filth prevail. No
classification whatever is usually
made. Boys are compelled to AS
sociate with old and hardened
criminals. The State is thereby
practicing compulsory education.
| have found boys under fifteen
years of age i'll the same corridors
with train robbers and murderers.
Total separation, in my judgment,
is necessary. Every instinct of
humanity demands it. The State
cannot afford to engage in educat-
ing criminals. The probation law
in st. Louis is II great step in the
right direction. Let us save, if
possible, our boys. The inter
mingling of the two sexes in our
jails is disgrace to our civiliza-
ton. The proprieties of the occa-
sion forbid me from speaking of
the things | know. Most of our
jails have no means of separating
the sexes, and upon entering them
you are reminded of the sins of
Sodom and Gomorrah. Oh, where
is our bOasted civilizationl
1.-THE inmates of our jails spend
their time in idleness, and even
when acquitted by our courts come
out contaminated, very often ru.
ined for life.
IF | were with you would ar.
que against sending so many per-
sons to Jail. For little petty of
lenses some other means of pun
ishment ought to be provided. We
must put forth efforts to make our
law breakers better, instead OF
blasting their lives. Whilst for.
nation is better than reformation
yet reformation is better than de-
struction.
my heart is with you and my
prayers 60 up for Gods blessing
on your conference.
Yours in the work,
