correspondent concludes by saying that Il;
negroes do not like the accommo dat tons

That is strange logic. Our corrcspon-s
dent might as well have said that as
in Africa, savage negroes some times STAY
and cat human beings, We ought. there
fore, to permit cannibalism in the peni-5
Tertiary. The State OF Virginia has
nothing to do with how negroes live al
the saw-nlills or ut their homes. nc =
State is not responsible for such condi-
tons But the State is responsible for
men and women whom 1t confines in the
penitentiary, and the State is In duty
bound to give such persons pure air and
wholesome food and to protect them, as
far as it can. from disease. Each and
every convict in the penitentiary is
charge upon the State government and
the State must treat Kim with q certain
consideration.
Readers of this paper know that we
have no mawkish sentimentality where
convicts are concerned. When man.
has been convicted of crime and sentenced
to tho penitcntiary he ought to be pun
=,
punishment at the penitentiary is as Sc
we're as it should be. We do not believe in
the system of working the convicts in the
factory at a profit and paving them for
overtime. Some of the convicts actual
" learn to like life in the prison, and 1t
is not an unusual thing for a discharged
convict to come back to work in the fac
tory. We believe that the whole system
is wrong in principle and we would like
to see it abolished. We believe that
prison life should be made hard, not in
spirit OF revenge, but as a warning
to others Men and women who are
disposed to commit crime should be made
to understand that if they do SO the State
Will punish them severely. Tho peniten-
uary ought to be a place OF horror, and
so regarded by every man and woman in.
the Commonwealth.
But that does not mean that a convict
should be treated worse than we treat
our beasts. They are entitled, as we have
said, to pure air and to wholesome food
and to protection from disease. Pure
air is a gift from heaven and man has
no right to deprive him of it The State
has no right to impair the physical and
moral health OF the convicts and turn.

The Southern Churchman this week
further discusses the saloon evil and
how to remedy it. It stands for the en-
tire and thorough suppression of the
saloon as the only effectual remedy. The
Churchman declares, however, that the
drink evil is a far deeper and more dam
gerous trouble than the saloon evil, and
that in this respect the so-called ''bctter
classes" are the worst Offenders.
The Churchman also has something
more to say concerning the use of cigar
cites by boys. It notes with pleasure
that this evil is beginning to attract the
attention it deserves, and to call for

Miss Higgins, the missionary to Africa,
who has been i'll the city for the past
few days, has left for Washington. While
here she was the guest of Bishop and
Mrs. r. A. Gibson.
The work of Miss Higgins is particu-
larly interesting, in view of the fact that
it lies in Liberia, the American colony
in Africa. TO this place no white per-
son, lest he be a missionary, can gain
admittance. Miss Higgins says among
other things that the negroes, those who
have been sent to Liberia from this
country, are the worst in the place. Just
why this is is not known, but Miss His
gins declares it to be a fact.

"A Thoroughbred Tramp"

The tramp" play, with the knight of
the road as the central figure, will always
retain a place in the hearts of the masses.
The American public Is sympathetic and
they are always ready to listen to the
story of the unfortunate, and this pc
culiar class of ne'er-do-well nomads
amuse and at the same time appeal TO
them. One of the numerous plays of this
kind non has achieved greater success
than Elmer Walters scenic production,
"A Thoroughbred Tramp and certainly
none deserve 1t more, for the attraction
stands without a rival in its class.
A play Astounding with brilliant comedy
situations and breath-holding dramatic
climaxes, including the escape of the
tramp on the baggage car and the race
between a woman on horseback and a
fast flying express train, mounted with
a most elaborate scenic equipment, is well
calculated to make a big success in these
days, when the country is filed with
mediocre attractions and improperly pro-
duced plays.
This play will be the attractions at Ar
mory hall next Saturday night, the 18th.
