Roses, beautiful roses. to be worn at

| is going to do it. Unfortunates who

Superintendent Sloan, who looked

the extent of enlist,ug the assistance
| of many women of social position in
that city. When the proposition was
laid before them assurance was gen.
eral. Leaders in the social world ex-
pressed pleasure in the idea of buying
flowers from the institution.
With this understanding, Mr.. Sloan
went ahead and has Just finished three
greenhouses, each 75x15 feet, cover

his purpose to employ in the work the
most hardened women who are COM
mitted to his care, and he believes it
will have more softening and bene-
fetal effect upon them than the heav-
Ter labor in the laundry, which is usu-
ally selected for women prisoners.
How Mr.. Sloan got the idea of try
ing Horticulture as a refining influence
on hardened womankind is of pathetic
interest

the only daughter of one of our great
merchants, who was deeply interested
in charitable work, came here and
asked to see the woman prisoners.

at work. She wore a red rose in her
hair and the minute the women saw
her some began cursing, others stuck
out their tongues at her, and seeming

Maggie was a little woman with a
frightful temper and a great scar
across her face. Maggie was more
dreaded by the other women in the in
stitution than any of it's rules and was
the ringleader in frequent revolt.
Just why she did il | do not know.
but the visitor walked up to Maggie
and. taking the rose from her hair,
handed it to the prisoner. Maggie
looked worried and then smiled, and,
though had known her for years. for
the first time | heard her say God
bless you
This gave me the idea OF putting
the most unruly of the women in my
charge at work raising roses.
Maggie, | may add. is now faithful
servant in the home Of the young wo-
man who handed her the rose. and II
the flower did so much for her can
not see why flowers should not help
others.

of tending the flowers will soften the
spirit of even the most hardened wo.
man."
Within week or two the plan will
be in full operation"

The particular fad of England s

she is an indefatigable collector, her
specially being Royal Worcester. In

width which support over a hundred
exquisite figures of Dresden, SAKE,
Sevres and old English ware. These
dainty examples of 'china bric-a-brac

DIsQUIETING sENsATTONs

In framing a ticket it is characters
tic of the Democrats in Delaware TO
make two or three good nominations
and seven or eight bad ones. expecting
the good ones to carry the bad ones

witnessed the reverse result. but the
Disappointing experiences never have
inspired them to change their method.
SO it is in this city campaign. They

Of unquestioned respectability, for

and then tiedto their coat tails the old
Democratic City Council which has

declares a deficit of more than 500 900.

MAY DAYS WERE DAMP

May, like April, has established a
meteorological record which has made
her famous. Most of her days have
been either rainy or cloudy, and conse-
quently interfered greatly with the
plans of young and OF old people to
spend days in the woods. The inclem-

J. Newlin Gawthrop who keeps a diary

present May is the wettest one since
1889 when Johnstown was destroyed by
a flood, which was the elimination of
a month of almost incessant raining.
Tomorrow will be the twelfth ami

SERVES DOUBLE PURPOSE

Philadelphia. which Is going to
spend large sums of money to deepen
and widen the channel OF the Della
ware river, is agitated just at present
as to what shall be done with the ma
terial taken out by the dredges Mayor
Ashbridge wants it deposited on the
marshes and flats. Instead OF on the
shoals in the river as has been the
practice pursued by the government
engineers. In support Of his plea the
Philadelphia Public Ledger says:
Since It is proposed to spend large
sums OF money TO deepen the channel
OF the Delaware river il is proper that
every precaution should be taken TO
make the work as nearly permanent as
possible. Hitherto II has been the
practice when dredging the Delaware
10 dump the material on shoals AS
this has been done under the direction
OF government engineers It may be that
no harm has resulted, but common
sense, as well as certain facts that
have developed recently, indicate
otherwise. Public opinion is more
likely TO endorse the attitude OF Mayor
Ashbridge In protesting against dredg-
ing mud from one portion OF the river
and dumping IL in another.
There seems always the possibility
that mud dumped on the shoals NAV
be washed again into the channel. but
there can be no chance OF this il 1t be
deposited on shore, as the mayor in
sists should be done Moreover. his
contention that by following his plan
the great fats, marshes and meadows
which line the river can be converted
into valuable land is worthy OF seri-
GUS consideration. At present there
are thousands OF acres that are prac-
tically valueless. If by dumpage from
the river these can be raised above
high water, reclaimed and given a
practical assessable and real estate
value, it would appear good business
policy TO do So even If there be nc
harm from dumping on the shoals. Nc
pecuniary advantage can possibly ae.
crue from depositing the dredged mud
on the shoals, but such can follow by
dumping it on shore.
IL Is proposed that the city, as well
as the State, shall make an appropria.
ton towards deepening the channel OF
the Delaware river. II Councils should
determine that the city is to Join In
this great work, AID public approval

weight should be given the suggestions
OF the mayor with respect to the dis.
posal OF the dredged material. IL GER
tainly appears to be good policy. more
profitable and a better assurance ol

make the appropriation conditional OF
the mud being deposited on the
marshes and flats.
The value Of such material, when de
posted in marsh land, has been demon
strated along the Christiana river II
this city, where hundreds Of acres hav,
been reclaimed and added to our rive
front by the use Of banks. suction
dredges, pipelines and sluices. Th,
work here served the doubly usefu
purpose Of deepening the river and mi
