Drink and Young Criminals.

The National Conference of Charities
and Corrections in session recently In
Washington gave prominent recognition
to the terrible increase Of criminals. the
appalling growth of the population OF our
penal institutions. A paper read before
the conference by Mrs. Ophelia Amigh,
Superintendent of the State Home for
Juvenile Offenders at Geneva, ILL.,, casts
valuable light upon this important qu!es-
ton. Mrs. Amigh is reported as saying
that every girl now in the home under her
care had one drunken parent, and IN the
case of many of them both parents were
confirmed drunkards. Mrs. Amigh says:
eff we desire to raise fine stock we
never think of keeping the sires and dams
drunk all or half the time, and yet nearly
products of such conditions"
She goes on to say:
Zone has to sit but one day in the Ju-.
venile Court in Chicago to realize what 1t
is that fills all kinds Of charitable and pc
nal institutions in Illinois as well as IN
other States. All kinds Of crime follow
in the wake of intemperance and some
thing must be done or we shall become
worse than O nation of lepers."
Mrs Amigh mentions one particularly
startling instance which has unfortunately
been paralleled many times. She says:
eve had one girl brought to us not
quite fourteen years of age who had de-
lirium tremens, and we barely saved her
life. She had drank more or less since
she was ten years of age. What can we
say of the brute in mans form who would
ever give or sell intoxicants to a child
like that?
1t might not be irrelevant to ask: What
shall we say of the man who lega!izes a
traffic the result of which, by centuries OF
experience, is known to be such things 40
these?-The New Voice.

Germany Cursed by Drink.

In an article in the Kreutz Zeitung,
warmly advocating temperance and the
disuse of alcohol III the army and navy,
tic writer brings forward remarkable sta
tistics in support OF his plea. In l20
army prisons throughout Germany forty
six per cent. of all the murderers COM
mitted their crime while under the inhu.
ence Of drink. Sixty-three per cent. of
the cases OF manslaughter, seventy-four
per cent of serious injury to the person
and seyenty.seven per cent. of criminal i'm
morality are due to the same cause. In
the navy, out of 1911 punishable cases dur
ing the last six years, seventy-hve per
cent. of the most serious cases have been
due to drunkenness.

A Becoming Home Gown.

becoming hOIne UO"us
Comfortable home gowns, that are
tasteful and becoming at the same
time that they can be slipped on with
ease, are essential to every woman's
outfit. The charming May Manton
model shown in the large illustration
fulfills all the requirements and has
the merit Of being in the latest style.
The original is made Of turquoise blue
challie with black figures, the front
and undersleeves being of plain blue
Sapho satin. The revers Of black vel
vet and the edging fancy galloon, in
which threads of gold are woven, but
many equally satisfactory materials
might be suggested. Cashmere, albat-
ross, princess crepe, nuns yelling and
French flannel are all fashionable,
while soft silk always make a hand
some gown.
The back is fitted with q centre seam,
side-backs and undcr-arm cores that
curve to the figure and give princess
effect. The full front is tucked to yoke
ueDIu, luSu 1lSC, lIo SNSSS
attached under the fronts proper,
which are turned back to form revers.
Beneath is q snugly fitted body lining
that extends slightly below the wais:
line. The fancy sleeves are arranged
over fitted Innings and are curved at
the lower edge where they fall ov
soft puffs. At the front is a velvet rib
bon that it attached at the under-arm
seams, brought around to the front
and bowed.
To cut this gown for woman OF me-
dium size thirteen yards Of material
twenty-one inches wide, eleven yards
twenty-sevcn riches wide or seven
yards forty-four inches wide will be
required, with two and q quarter
yards twenty-one inches wide for full
front and undersleeves and seven
eighth yards of velvet to trim as illus
trated.

Sinners Are Much Worn.

Quite the most pronounced fad that
has been taken up for some years is
that for slippers. They are worn at
all times, even for travelling, and
they have almost ousted low shoes,
except for hard use. There seems
no explanation Of how it began, but
the fact remains that in order to be
in it woman must have a pair of
black, high-tongued slippers for gen
eral wear. They take the place of nice
low shoes. Wide buckles are a feature
of them, and any metal is correct,
although silver is the favorite. With
them are worn either very open-work
black stockings or fancy colored ones.

The Work of q Busy Man.

One of Boston's leading manufacturers,
whose large business interests demand much
of his time and thought, yet feels as if he
must do something for temperance, has for
some years given special attention to the
incubation of temperance among the
young, particularly young men. He be-
lieves in circulating the pledge after every

sands. In letter to the National Advo-
cate, he says: Il expect to take 1000
pledges during the year 1901, mostly
men; one Sabbath l took between 800 and
400, average age, twenty-one."

A Coouettish Little Garment.

A smart bolero Of Irish point lace
is made double breasted and the ampli-
tude in width atones for the excessive
shortness of a coquettish little gar
ment. This Is fastened on the left
side with three fat buttons about the
size Of a penny and cleaning like
guinea gold. Three seems to be the
canonical number for these beautiful
fastenings. They look like golden pen

President Mckinley has put an eff

newspapers through interviews with
certain well known republicans favor
ing the denomination of the president
for third term.
When Senator Depews suggestion
ten days ago that the president should
be reelected for a third term began to
be seriously discussed and when sew
eral of the presidents friends felt
called upon to indorse the idea, the
presipent decided that the public mind
should be instantly cleared of even the
suspicion that he was seeking to break
down the precedents of the past by be-
coming candidate for another term.
With the idea of suppressing any
movement leading to his nomination
in 1904 he issued the following signed
statement Tuesday:
II regret that the suggestion of d
third term has been made. | doubt
whether | am called upon to give it
notice. But there are now questions
of the gravest Importance before the
administration and the country and
their just consideration should not be
prejudiced in the public mind by even
the suspicion of the thought of a third
term.
''1n view, therefore, of the reitera-
ton of the suggestion of it | will say
now, once for all, expressing a long
settled conviction, that | not only am
not and will not be a candidate for

nomination for it if it were rendered

through my second term to the accept

Gus confidence | so deeply appreciate,
