the losses are now very small
During the year the bodies of .825
officers, enlisted men and others were
returned TO the United States from the
philippines, China, Cuba and elsewhere.
Of the number l,317 came from the

Arlington national cemetery, and 172
remained at San Francisco, Cal, on
June 80, 1901, to be disposed of.
There are at present provided for
duty in the office of the quartermaster
general 218 clerks and others. OF this
number 40 belong to the permanent
force and ninety-eight to the temporary
force.
These employees" says Colonel
kimball, have performed efficient and
commendable service during the past
hscal year and are needed in dispatch
ing the large volume of work which
continues to come to this office
1T is believed that it viii be in the
interests of the service to absorb into
the regular force of this office a pOr-
ton Of the most efficient temporary en-
ployees; otherwise the best Of these
employees Will naturally seek perma-
nent places elsewhere. and as soon as
secured relinquish their temporary ap-
pointments, which viii result in injury
TO this office and to the public service.
Il is therefore recommended that con-
gress be requested to provide at its
next session for the permanent ap-
pointment Of about 80 per cent of the
most efficient of these temporary en-
ployees- The remaining 50 per cent can
be retained in their temporary char
aCter for another year. or until it can
be definitely determined how long their
services may be required"

MODERN PRISON METHODS.

4 MONG THE INTERESTING PAPERS read at
"A the recent prison congress in Kansas City was
one by c. c. McClaughry, warden of the Wis
consin penitentiary. Mr. McClaughry is a of Major
r. w McClaughry, one time chief Of police, and now
warden of the federal prison at LeavenwOrh, Kan. lie
may be SAID to have been born in the business.
The Wisconsin does not believe that content
ment can ever be found IN a felon's cell but he does
believe that the condition of the convict be much
ameorated by proper conditions. 1t Is the duty Of
peace officers and wardens, be thinks, protect society
from vicious but not to work vengeance on those
after they are incarceraed Under the best cir
cumstance5 the lot of prisoner Is not happy one,
though IL nearly all he richly deserves the punish
nent awarded him.
1t 5 pleasant to note, though that the old-time bar
barites no longer practieed in modern prisons
The srngng of men up by the thumbs, the cat-onine
tails and other modes of punishment closely affiliated
with the torture chambers of the dark ages have all
been abandoned Instead every effort Is being made to
make convics fit to find some useful place in the
ciety they attempted to destroy.
Punishment is inflicted on prisoners for disObedi-
ence of rules but the rewards for good behavior
many and well worth the trouble of earning. The
who violates the law should feel the weight of his
wrong doing, but he need be of prison at
the close of his term fit only to plunge into crime
More and more every day the keepers Of pententares
arc learning the lesson of humanity and while the world
will always look askance at the eX-conYct his oppor-
untes for honest endeavor becoming greater every
day.

breach of promise cases.
The defendant a wealthy farmer, who had al
ready had some matrimonial experience, and had
reached the ripe age of discretion of three score and
ten But the complainant was a widow, fair, buxom
and 80. So the decision went against the defendant
and the plaintiff awarded $1,000 for the purpose Of

working order.
The testimony brought out that when the elderly
sutton proposed he had his offer snapped up so quickly
nat he seemed to be trfe dazed He asked for sixty
days time to consider the bargain, and the widow
granted the request without mur1nur. At the end of
the sixty days the old gentleman sought her out and said

allow him to reInquish his option. But the widow had
affections which had been going to rack and ruin all
this time, and she promptly brought suit

The Salt Lake theatre has held but few
audiences in its history larger than that
which witnessed In Old Kentucky
last night. The longevity of this play
is something wonderful Jacob Lit
thought at first that it was rams
failure. but after introducing a pick
aninny band, business climbed skyWard,
and for ten consecutive years 1t has
contributed almost fabulous sums to
the pocket of the mana cement. Last
nights house, crowded from pit to
dome. was the same as the company
has looked out upon ali during its pres
ent season on the Pacific coast The
public supports the piece with patriotic
regularity It comes and goes every
year and seems more popular each time.
The company presenting In Ole
Kentucky" at the present time is quite
as capable as the original, which is
saying a good deal. Miss Alice Hunt
who is styled by the advance notices
the new Madge,' is probably the clev-
crest woman ever seen in the part.
Her talent is inherited, her mother hay
ing been a prominent member of i've
profession. Miss Hunt was last seen
here in 1894 as one of the children in
Klaw & Changers production of the
war drama, "Soudan." Since then she
has arisen from the rank and file to a
more responsible position and that she
does full credit 20 the part of Madge
is indisputable. The other members of
the cast, considered as a whole, give
a very cfeditable performance of tbs
drama, and last nights tremendous
audience gave them all that was de-
served in the way of applause. The
dancing of the young negroes in the
barnyard scene proved as popular as
ever. The cOlOred boys were recalled
a half-dozen times.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRICITY.

MO MORE REMARKABLE EXAMPLE of the
" rapid growth of American industries can be
found than that furnished by electrical develop
ment. From practically nothing quarter of a century
ago 1t has become Of the most prominent factors
in the commercial world Today more than four bill
lions of dollars invested in establishments which
have electrical power for their basis.
A. n Brady. the New York fnancier, tell some
thing about the subject IN the November North Amer
lean Review. Mr.. Brady says the mind of the public
today accustomed to the successful performance
of prodgous tasks by electrical appliances that little
attention Is paid to the construction now of plants
which would have astonshed the world but few years
ago. As examples he cites the New York Edison com
pany the Metropolitan Street. Railway company and
the Manhattan Railway company, all of whose immense
boiler plants generate steam for operating engines of
tremendous power whose force is spent in producing
electricity for heat light and power
Probably a better idea of the immensitv of cleo
trical development is furnished by figures which Mr.
Brady submits. In telegraphy the Western Union and
Postal companies have invested S150O0OO0O and employ
approximately 100000 men. Eight hundred cities have
fire alarm teegraphs worth S25OOOOO0O. The telephone
business has grown since 1871 to S4OOGO0O0O 1t en-
ploys some 10000 people
The capitalization of electric light companies Is
put at Sl2OOO00000. Electric lighting alone EMPLOYS
10000 men TO look after 100000 neandescents and
oUOOOO arc lamps. Street railways operated by cleo
rcy, represent capital amounting to 81 OCO 100000
Over SlOOOOO000 invested in electrical mine plants
9l50OOOOOO IN power plants and S50OO0OOO in electro
plating establishments
