The ancient aqueducts and reser-

dant provision that was made for run
ming water in the Holy City when IT
was the metropolis Of the Jewish state
It is only within the last few weeks
that they have been brought again into
the service Of the city, which, during
intervening centuries has been de-
pendent upon the scanty accumulation
of rain water
The droughts Of the present summer
led TO distress, which, happily, the new
Governor of Jerusalem, Mohammed
Dievad Pasha, had the will and ener-
gy to combat. He secured the sultan $
consent to lay Immediately pipe from
Solomon's Pools, nine miles south OF
the city. The pipe draws from the

VIII Get a Pension.

A local attorney has just succeeded
in securing a pension for Sonnie Wash
ington, colored, who served IN the
Spanish.American War, The case was
i'm many respects a remarkable one and
has attracted unusual attention. Two
special examiners from Washington re-
ported the case favorably, but both
times the claim was rejected by the
Commissioner Of Pensions. Even Sen
atorial and Congressional intercession
failed TO get a favorable action from
the Commissioner The application
was rejected on the grounds Of alco.
holism. and an alleged lack Of proof
that the applicants illness was due to
exposure while in the service. Finally
the case was appealed to the secretary
of the Interior, and this appeal pre-
vailed where all else had failed Wash

1851 TO the large and handsome journal it is TO-DAY

Slice the nrst copy OF the Times published, and
ednce at the fac-simile OF that copy shows con-

that PRESIDENTIAL receptions then were moi widely, df

A QUESTION OF JAILs.

A T a recent meeting of the Howard Associa-
IA ton of Criminal Experts" a British organ-
zation devoted to the study of penoogy
some reports were made concerning the American
system of county jails, and it appears the experts
pronounced the system to be much worse than that
which obtains in British jails OF similar grade
| Some of Our contemporaries have met this criticism
with vigorous and emphatic denial 1t seems to
be the opinion of many of them that the criticism
upon jails was virtually an assault upon our
government, and the Atlanta Constitution goes so
far as to say: The American newspaper that
would uphold any of the charges made by the How
ard Association is untrue to its country
We have not seen the charges made by the How
ard Association, and consequently we can neither up
hold them nor refute them. We have noted, how
ever in some of Our contemporaries statements in
tended to prove the American system better than
the British but which in Our estimation prove the
reverse. For example, the Boston Globe saws:
Americas alleged increase of crime, as compared
with the reported contrary tendency in Great Britain
is cited proof of the superior efficiency of British
penal methods. The severity of some of the British
and Continental jas may possibly work to decrease
crime abroad by driving criminals of the coun-
try Certain it is that here in America we have been
obliged to receive of the refuse of foreign ails
Some of the British prisons have been notorious dis
graces to the human race. While the prison system
in some cases in this country has been lamentabe
enough the general tendency has been to make them
as humane as is. compatible with justice Indeed
some maintain that have erred the side of
leniency" h.
Accepting that statement as true, the question
arises: Why should Jail system which induces
criminals to leave the country be deemed bad sys-
tenn? Why should system that attracts the crim-
nal elements of other countries be deemed a good
system? If the British ails put stop to crime or
at least notably diminish it. and the American jail is
so pleasant as prove welcome resting place for
tramps during the winter months, why should ours
be deemed the better of the two? Are jas designed
for the encouragement of petty crimes and the mani
festation of tender humanity toward the criminals?
The Call believes in patriotism. 1t is ready and
prompt to uphold any American institution when as
sailed by foreigner but it does not believe that the
county Jail system, either in Boston or Atlanta or
even in some California counties is above legitimate
Criticism by expert penologists Certainly no county
IN America has yet had any remarkable success in
dealing with the petty criminals that make up the
habitual inmates of county ails and if the Howard
Association furnish any plan by which we can
make criminals leave the country quit the trade
Will be worth while consider it seriously and
not reject it simply because the county Jail is an
American institution"
