WOMEN AND PRISON WORK.

The visit of Mrs. Maude B%allington
Booth to the Colorado penitentiary
this week emphasizes the Importance
of the work of women in new sphere
that of penology.
Mrs. Booth during the last few years
has carried on a most excellent work
among the prisons of the United
States, her visits being looked forward
to as the brightest occasions in the
lives Of thousands of %convicts. At the
same time another woman, Mrs. Mary
Preston Slosson, has been carrying out
Just as practical a form of work in The
Wyoming state penitentiary. Mrs.
Slosson, who is the wife of Prof. Slos-
son, of the University of Wyoming. is
chaplain of the state penitentiary at
Laramie-the only woman in the coun-
try to hold such a position. The Wyo-
ming penitentiary officials assert that
Mrs. Slosson's appointment was the
best move that was aver made for
raising the moral standard Of the con-
victs. Breaches of discipline in the
Wyoming penitentiary have fallen of
nearly 80 per cent since the woman
chaplain took charge, the convicts be-
ing ashamed to have Mrs. Slosson know
that they are under punishment.
Mrs. Booths work Is more general
than that OF Mrs. Slosson, but it is in
the same line and accomplishes the

COLONIZATION A

Nearly every day II hears of new
plans to %colonize different sections OF
the state. Perhaps the largest of these
is the n now being vigorously push
ed by the Kuykendalls in the Saratoga
valley. There are 205, 900 acres in the
tract. Two canals have been surveyed
and it is the purpose of the company
to complete one this winter, weather
permitting. One of these canals will
be twenty miles In length, from Brush
creek, and will water 5000. The other
will be ffty-fve miles in length and
will water 200, 900 acres. This canal
will be from the Platte river and will
be one of the longest in the state. All
the land to be irrigated is tributary
to Saratoga and hat town Is expect
ing a boom in consequence.

AT WORK.

A special to the Denver Republican
says:
Representative Mondell of Wyoming
will introduce a Chinese exclusion bill
early in the coming session. He said
today: I'VE have a great many Chi
nese in Wyoming. We do not desire
any more of them or any problems such
as an increase in the Chinese popula'
ton involve. For that reason we are
very strongly in favor of the %re-enact
ment of the Chinese exclusion law.
Occasionally n hears an cutlery
against the danger of too large a sur
plus in the treasury" continued Mr.,
Mondell. In the west we should be
very glad to see a portion of it used in
the construction of reservoirs for the
conservation of water to irrigate arid
lands. That is a very important mat
ter to u.s." Like nearly all the western
men Mr.. Mondell opposes any revision
of the tariff at the present time.

sail Brown with an amused smile. He
fully intended to and had made his
arrangements to that effect. But cir
cumstances over which he had no con-
troll were such that he decided at the
last minute to remain at home. My
wife and several other enthusiastic
women members of the church hit up
on the happy idea of raising a fund
sufficient to defray the good mans ex-
penses. as he has a large family and
finds it difficult to make both ends
meet. With this end in view they held
several affairs and at last were the
proud possessors of something over
$50. Then they decided to make the
presentation a gala event and give the
members of the church a chance to
send the Rev. Mr.. Blank away with the
best wishes Of the whole congregation.

would be a happy idea and took it
upon herself to see that it was or

OF having the church decorated for the
suspicious occasion, and hired a nan
to do the work. Early in the evening
when they met to compare notes they
discovered to their horror that their
expenses had not only eaten up the
amount they had raised. but had left
them a matter of So or SO in debt: so
the presentation had to be omitted. I
