OUTSIDE THE PRISON GATE.

Few Kind Words That Change Life of a
Discharged Convict.
Youths Companion.
The following is the substance OF q
true story recently told by gentleman
who had been one of the Prison Com
missioners Of the State Of Connecticut:
Some 30 years ago. when | was
passing the State prison at Wethers-
field, noticed the gate open and a
man come out. The tears streamed
from his eyes as he stood perplexed.
/" Where now, my friendY' l asked
cheerfully.
:" i don't know, sir. i don't sup
pose any one wants me anywhere.
g am walking to Hartford; come
with me.
at was warm day in early May.
The poor convict opened his heart to
his new acquaintance and told him
what had brought him to the peni-
Tertiary. 1t soon came out that the
convict had made shoes in prison.
/ think know q man, said the
gentleman, who will hire you in lis
factory, and il l were In your place
would not lisp word about having
been in prison.
You have been kind, said the re-
BASED prisoner, turning away with
quivering lips; l must say goodby. l
cannot longer live and lie. / promised
God last night in my cell that when
came out would be an upright man
and take the consequences, and will
keep my word.
Forgive me for tempting you at
the outset, / said. Come on.

and told him the whole story. He had
little talk with my man and made o
bargain with him. That night, just
as the shop was about to close, WI
three went into the workroom.

charged from State prison this morn.

SHE MADE A NEW RECORD.

New York. Aug. 29.-The Imperial
German and United States mail twin
SCREW express steamer Deutschland
arrived in port early today with new
record to her score.
This trip was made from Cherbourg
Mole to the Sandy Hook lightship, a
distance of 3,045 miles, in five days, 70
hours and 23 minutes, at AN average
speed of % knots per hour. This is the
quickest westward trip in point of time
and over the shortest route. @
Her days runs, were 431, 562, 573,
572, 57S and $3.50 knots. There was some
delay on the Banks Of Newfoundland,
owing to fog and the presence of many
fishing vessels, which obliged the
steamer to slow down at times. f
OFF Nantucket liRhtship, several
messages were sent by the Marconi
system, which worked somewhat bettor
than on the previous trip.

At the state fair the socialists had
! a tent from which red flag foated
and came very near causing trouble.
Some of the fair visitors connected
socialists and anarchists as being
composed of the same element , OF
the incident the St. Paul Dispatch
, say: .
! When the telephone message Of
! the Dispatch to it's office on the fair
grounds got bruited about among
the crowd, there was a speedy
gathering Of indignant men about
the tent where the socialists were
holding forth and over which float
ed that ill-chosen emblem of their
cult, the red flag, typical of ferocity
and blood, instead of pure white one
symbolizing the brotherhood Of man.
The crowd demanded the lowering
of the flag under penalty of demolish
ing the tent, and it would have
taken but little provocation to have
carried the threat farther in it's
execution. The mistake made by
the crowd, the confusion of names
and Specifications, were, in the tame
outcome of the incident in the
hauling down of the flag, grotesque,
where, under other conditions, it
might have been tragical.
It is hardly singular, considering
how recently it is since fairly well
informed men ceased to shiver at the
name socialist, that this crowd
should have regarded socialism and
anarchism as synonyms, and to have
felt that they were rebuking here
in Minnesota to the spirit which an
hour before had smote the president
at Buffalo. And yet no two words
used as names for political beliefs ex-
pressed ideas so Numerically oppo-
site as do anarchism and socialism.
They stand for the opposite poles of
government. The one is positive, the
other negative. The socialist is an
intense collectivist; tn aenarchist is
as intense an indindividualist. The
one would magnify, the other ninify
government. The one would have
government assume the direction
and control of all Industrial activity
the other would obliterate all govern
ment The one bases it's faith, in
fact if not admittedly, on the inca
pacity of men to care for themselves
and the need of an arernal govern
ment to watch over them; the
other asserts openly ability Of men
to take care of themselves, and that
government is a burdensome, opres-
sive superfuity.

man is an encou1ager Of anarchy to

a dangerous man in Congress and a
disgrace not only to the state of
