Both before and after the building was used by the British as military prison the early citizens of this city confined debtors within its walls, and the horrors which attended the punish ment of debt were almost as tragic as the terrors of Cunningham rule. Up to the beginning of the last century a man might be haled to prison for debts incurred during sickness from inability to pay for food or medicines. The con- sequence was that the last condition Of the man was far worse than the first. His family. unable to obtain money ex- cept by begging, which was also severe ly punished, were either driven to star vation or to greater depths of debt. The stupidity of the debt law was not realized until 1877. when its rigor was modified to some degree by preventing the incarceration of a man for debts eg- gregating less than twenty-five dollars. This was the first step to the final aDo- lition of the abominable practice.
 It was not until 1880 that 'the Pro- vost" ceased to be used for the inear- ceration of debtors, and was made over to meet the needs of the registers ot- flee. Then the bell which hung in it's cupola for nearly century was taken down, and, after doing service in the Bridewell, was sent to the Naiad Hose company's station, in Beaver street. The front and back of the dingy pile were ornamented with rows of Dorlc columns, to hide as far as possible the prison look of the grim walls and the unenviable associations of past days. Later the space between the columns was bricked up. so that they now ap- pear as mere pilasters.-New York Tri- bune.

PRISCILLA STRUCK.

Fall River Liner Run Into by Steamer Pow st N hattan-One Maa Was Killed.
 Newport, R. l., July 9.-The steamer Prls- 5ciila, of the Fall River line, left he here about 10 Q clock last night with about 6oO pasSen. gers aboard, bound TOT New Aofk. lhe night was foggy.
 @ When about one hour out nd when near Point Judith, the Priscilla was struck just forward of the house on the port DOW by the steamer Powhattan, of the Merchants and Miners line running to Providence.
 The blow was fair one, and cut into the Priscilla about twenty feet. All the wood work well up toward midshiDs was torn and smashed. and the bow was almost cut of.
 The blow was given at the forward bulk. hpad thus filling two compartments, and causing an thrush of water into the dynamo room which stopped the electric light plant and left the steamer in darkness. Finally candles were obtained and lit.
 The Priscilla at once settled by the head and the work of jettisoning the cargo was begun, about five hundred barrels of fish being thrown overheard. This being done, the steamers pumps were able to take care of the water which was making beyond the 5 first and second compartments
 Caught in his bunk was Stevedore John Muniz "a Portuguese, whose body at Il a. 1n remained so imbedded in the debris, that it could not be removed.
 The steamer kept up a vigorous whistling until the Puritan came along and took her in tow. The Priscilla was nowerless to move herself for while she could maintain steam. her rudder, being out of water, was useless.
 The crippled boat arrived here at S.30 and her passengers were furnished with tickets over the New York. New Haven X Hart ford railroad.
 s It is claimed that the Powhattan was not blowing her whistle as she approached the Priscilla in the fog and that nothing was heard of her until just before she struck.

THE BLACK CAP.

The popular idea that judges assume the block cap preparatory to pronoun- cing sentence of death, in order to mark the tragedy of the occasion, should be finally dispelled by the fact that they will wear the same sable headgear at the coronation. What the coronet is to the peer, the black cap is to the judge the finial of his official costume. Until 1885 the habits of judges were governed bv individual tastes, but in that year the occupants of the bench met and solemnly ordained their attire. It was decreed to consist of a. scarlet robe with an ermne tippet as now, and "a coli or cap of black cloth" The judicial wig IS a later innovation, and the black cap as an essential part of the official must be worn an all state occasions, Of which the passing sentence of capital punish
 nent is only one-Westminster Ga zette..

woMAN's MOST ATTRACTIVE AGE

WOMAN'S MOST ATTRACTIVE AGE.
 At the age of twenty-two or twenty three the majority of women are un- doubtedly more attractive as regards personal beauty than at any other time of their lives. But while they have that buoyancy and youth which captivate and make men so susceptible to their charms for the time being, yet deeper study of their powers of fascination will quickly show that their attractiveness is very shallow as compared with that of an older woman.
 A pretty face constitutes only one of the characteristics which go toward making a woman attractive, and it is absurd to suppose that her charms de- crease as time adds a wrinkle to her face As matter of fact, many wo-
 men are far more attractive between the ages of thirty and thirty-flve than those who are ten years younger.
 Although the attractiveness of @ wo- man between thirty and thfrty-five years of age may not be so apparent at first sight, it is really far greater than that of younger woman. Her charac- ter has been formed, and, we'll knowing Iethat she can no longer be regarded as a young woman. she makes the most Of the good qualities she possesses. and | tries to please the man whose favor
 she seeks, as we'll as those people with
 whom she comes in contact. A pair of sympathetic eyes, low, | sweet voice, and an equanimity of tenn perament, more than counterbalances
 any lack of youthful beauty and vivac- | ity, and it is when woman strives to
 please man that her powers of fasci-
 nation increase. She learns to take an
 interest in his daily pursuits, be they | business or pleasure, and nothing ap- peals to the masculine heart more than | the thought that one of the opposite sex is ready to praise when he triumphs
 and sympathize with him in his trials. Many young women, of course, pos sess these characteristics, and, besides being pretty, have a truly lovable and sympathetic nature, which makes them | doubly attractive in the eyes, ef. a man.
 Most men have habit of comparing one woman with another, and it is not long before they begin to perceive that beauty is only skin deep as the saying goes, and that although woman of from thirty to thirty-five Is not so pret- ty as those with whom he is acquainted
 who are some years younger, yet the
 former is brighter in disposition and
 more interesting and sympathetic in character than the latter. This is be- cause the older woman has had more
 experience of the world. Her character
 has developed, and she realizes that a
 woman needs more than a personal beautv to win and retain mans love and respect.-Baltimore Herald.

AN OLD BELL STOLEN.

The British schooner Attractor, Cap tain William Scott, loaded with cocoa- nuts consigned to Emil Graef, Jersey City, was docked at the Morris street pier that city on Saturday. The At tractor also carried bell which is be- lieved to have g. history. It was in-
 scribed Prince of Wales, 1740," and
 was on it's way to England, where it
 was to be presented to King Edward,
 but it was stolen after the vessel
 reached Jtersey City. It was found,
 Captain Scott says, on a reef in the
 harbor of Kingston. This reef is rarely
 visited. but about six weeks ago two
 men took advantage of an unusually
 calm day to go to it. They found the
 water only eight feet deep. and among
 the docks they saw two dark objects.
 One man dived, and on coming to the
 surface reported that one was bell, the other 8 chest. They rowed to the
 shore with all haste, and reported their
 discovery to the British authorities.
 Measures were at once taken to have
 the bell and chest raised.
 In the chest, which was of iron, were found Mexican coins amounting to about ten thousand dollars. They had been coined, as their dates showed from 1700 to 1735. The bell, which was wedged between two rocks, was blasted out and in the process was badly cracked The Kingston authorities de- cided to send the bell to King Edward and it was placed in the hold of the At. tractor with instructions to Captain Scott to have it shipped to London a: soon as he reached Jersey City. Int 1 police were informed of the theft, but | were unable to solve the mystery of tho I bells disappearance. AS it weighed two hundred pounds, it must have taker some time to raise it from the aftel hold, in which it had been stored. It i' | supposed that the bell belonged to { ship named the Prince of Wales, bu 1 there is no record at Kingston, Captain | Scott says, of the loss of any ship O that name in Kingston harbor.-Nev York Tribune.

as correct dressing goes. don't make any effort whatever to tog themselves out in cheap. dismal imitation of the men with plenty of money; but, like the young woman in the song. they al- ways dress in black The business men who run plants of their own. how ever, seem to pay just as much atten- tion to the job of getting themselves ready for business on weekday morn ings as they do to the task of arraying themselves for social functions or evening appearances.
 Fasteners who have gone out to the coast have often commented upon the sweilness of the average well fixed San Francisco man in the matter of clothes. The San Francisco man with an income certainly gets himself up
 proper as we say, and he's got the right kind of make up for every oc- casion. Take the race tracks around San Francisco. for example. Every man who goes to the races out there goes in a regular racing rig, from pad dock coat to fieldglass and from the top of his flat crowned derby to the soles of his downs boots, and So do the Frisco women. for the matter of that. Another thing. I'll venture to assert that nine out of ten men in San Francisco whose incomes are 5000 a year or over rig out in evening clothes every night in the year, summer in cluded. A great many more men of moderate incomes in Washington don evening clothes than men of similar in comes in New York. The man of Washington dress with singular neat ness, many with notable elegance.
