AT Gilt Edge, yesterday, one Frank
Riley was brought before Justice
Sawyer's court, charged with burglary
in the first degree. Last Thursday
night the cook at the Gilt Edge hotel
prepared his meats to be used the fol-
lowing day and that they might retain
their sweetness he deposited them in
the GOODNESS of the cellar for the night,
but when in the morning he sought
them they were not there, for in the
darkness the cellar had not only been
b~urglarized, but also Nationized and the
Nationizer had left his hatchet lying
near the door. Deputy Sheriff Martin
located the stolen meat in the cabin
where Riley lived and he was confined
in the Jail there until today. County
Attorney Belden appeared for the state
in the case, and the evidence against
Riley was of such an discriminating ma
ture that Justice Sawyer held him in
the sum of $500 to appear at the spring
term of the district court. Being un-
able to furnish the required bond, he
was brought to Lewistown yesterday
afternoon by Deputy Martin and con-
fined in the county Jail to await the
term of the district count.

should he everybody's business. The
State has no more right to prosecute or
to bully a helpless man than a private
citizen has.
There is an increasing interest in these
questions, and a growing sentiment in
favor of endeavoring to secure Il system
of punishment which will either reform
the culprit or punish him with as little
cruelty as may be. There are some men
who do not understand Kindness but per-
haps they are fewer than has been sup
posed. The lesson of experience in deal
ing with criminals seems to be that the
best method of treatment is absolute, in
variable firmness. coupled with as much
mildness as possible a criminal is some
thing like n fractions horse. and every
body knows that such animal can be
conquered more easily by calm, firm in
ffexibility than by violence. The criminal
needs to understand, first of all. the in
variability of law. He cannot be expected
to understand this If he finds that 1t is
possible to bride or intimidate the officers
of the law. Moreover, being a man, he
cannot be expected to behave himself
unless there is some inducement for him
TO DO So The loftiest philosopher will
hardly do right entirely from motives of
abstract principle. How, then, can a per-
yerted, self-willed, sensual, degraded
specimen OF humanity, with his mind full
of evil images and his body alive with
brutal desires. be supposed to be good
because he ought to be good? How can
he be expected to reform for the sake of
the public? Here and there can be found
q nf tup bn
of his rut of bad habits, but as a general
thing, the community makes it very hard
for him to do so. Not until the public
sees that criminal must be dealt with
on much the same principle as an honest
man is there likely to be any abatement
in the seriousness of the criminal problem.

II is reported that the condition of the
prison at Sing Sing is anything but hyGi-
enic, and that the judge who sentences
condemning him to typhoid fever or
tuberculosis. 1t Is said that the prison
hls little ventilation, and that when the
windows are closed at night the prisoners
actually suffer from lung starvation. The
drainage IS also said to be defective.
THIS. together with the recent disclos-
ures regarding the convict lease system
States, seems to indicate that there is
need for some radical legislation in the
line of prison reform in this country.
There is certainly no reason to doubt that
such legislation would accomplish its pur-
pose. No one can say that It is inter
fering with anybody's private business
on the contrary. this is state business. If
anything is. The purpose of imprisoning
men is supposed to be punitive and re
formaiory. To put them into unhygienic
holes. or subject them to dcgradations
which destroy what little manhood they
may have left. will conduce neither to
their proper punishment nor to their ref
ormation.
Under the convict lease system, Il IS
charged. men are actually sold to con-
tractors. and sometimes. when their ig-
norance and hclplessness make this pos
sible. kept in servitude beyond the limits

a number of telegraph dispatches have

demonstrations may end in a conflict with
the intervening Government. When the
question of cockiighting was being dis
cussed some weeks ago messages were
sent BY various mayors upholding Secre-
tary Tamayo in the attitude adopted by

accused Senior Tamayo of ordering the
mayors to send such telegraph dispatches.
IL Is understood that the Plat resolu-
uon was read at pirate session of the
convention. Some of the delegates were
very violent. Nothing was agreed on,
though hopes were expressed OF a salts
factory solution. Some of the most peace
able delegates have become radical, being
dominated by few hotheads.

A STRANGE CHARGE MADE.
Cremation to Hide Insanity Alleged
in n VIII Case.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Martha Bags
Phillips, widow of F. Stanhope Phillips,
the millionaire wooden commission mer-
chant. who died on January IL. was ac-
cused of a strange proceeding in the Sur
rogates Court today. 1t was charged
that she had her husbands body ere
mated to make sure that the dead mans
brain was reduced to ashes. so that it
could not be proved that Phillips was in
sane. The statement was made by ex-
Judge George NJ. Curtis in opposing mo-
ton to have Mrs. Phillips appointed tenn
porarily administratrix of the estate.
Phillips died in a fashionable apart
ment house at i22 West End Avenue
owned by himself. The widow was made
sole eXecutriX and beneficiary of the
estate. The will is contested by j. r.
Phillips, n brother of the deceased.
This is a formidable woman" said Mr..
Curtis. opposing the motion. There is
nothing in Gaboriau like this plot Mrs
Phillips has concealed the value of the
estate and the location of the real estate
LAS a matter of fact, after her husband
died, as soon as an autopsy had been
performed on tie trunk of the body the
widow had the body cremated.
THE head and skeleton were reduced to
ashes so that the brain, the most vital
spot. might not be searched for evidences
of insanity which were surely there
Mrs. Phillips was the testators second
wife. Decision was reserved. Counsel for
Mrs Phillips said MT Curtis destinations
were baseless.

There is rather an interesting article
in the current number of the Review
of Reviews on Australia. and in 1t is
the suggestion that in future the United
States may have much to do with the
people Of that country. This seems curl
Gus. perhaps. to those who belong to the
older generation of Americans, for they
will remember a time when this country
scarcely knew that there was any such
place as Australia; when the Biographies
pictured IL on the map as practically
blank, and school-children were taught
that kangaroos and ornithorhyncnuses
lived in the strange. Isolated South Sea
Island continent. and that 1t was used
by England for penal settlements.

the throne. there were scarcely three

were largely made up of criminal pop

GERMANY AND ENGLAND.
The Former Country Welcomes the
Latter's Friendship.

BERLIN, March Sin reply to a ques-
ton In the Reichstag today in regard TO
the Emperor's recent visit to England.
Chancellor Won Buelow said 1t was quite
natural under the circumstances that the
English people should receive him with
appreciative warmth.
He added that If, on such an occasion.
a desire originated with England to enter
on moro friendly relations with Germany,
there was no political reason why the
Germans should take it amss. He closed
by declaring Germany will live in peace
with England
The Chancellor, among other things
said: Certainly there have been many
occasions where friction existed between
the two countries. but Ii should be re-
membered that there were many points
where their interests came in contact and
1t was therefore necessary that we should
maintain Il good understanding
There is no political reason why we
should not cultivate good relations with
England as well as other Powers do. The
Emperor's visit to England had nothiHl
to do with our neutrality in the South
African war. Mr.. Kruger's intended trip
to Berlin was to obtain mediation be-
tween Great Britain and the Transvaal or
to force Germany to interfere in South
Africa. The Emperor's journey to Eng
land was in no way connected with the
South African war

lishman not so very long ago. In both the
original English strain has been strength
ened. and in some cases coarsened, by
contact with the primitive conditions of
existence. The emigrant loses some
thing, perhaps. and gains something else
by his toughening conflict with mother
earth; and as his civilization grows older
and richer he develops also the finer quail
ties which in pioneer days must remain
quiescent. Had England remained insu-
lar, without colonies. there could have
been little common ground between the
American and other men of English blood.
But it seems possible that the colonial
Englishman may in time be an inter-
mediate link between England and Amer
lea. and though politically an alliance Is
unlikely there must, through the tie OF
blood. be a certain sympathy between the
people of the American Republic ana the
people of the British Empire.
