Mans Grentest Enemy.

Fatigue is one of the greatest enc
mics of the human race" says a writer
in Ainslee's. Modern physiology shows
that it is the cause of nearly half and
perhaps more of the several hundred
catalogued diseases that prey upon
man. In our age, with its high pres
sure, its hot and bitter competition and
the unrelenting struggle for survival,
its moral and physical ravages are
steadily increasing, Cities, in which
an ever larger proportion of our peo-
pie dwell are biological hothouses and,
for some, furnaces, forcing develop
ment prematurely and encouraging
late hours and excitement and consum-

U. S. PENITENTIARIES.
StronghoIds Of the Law Where Uncle
Sans Prisoners Are Kept.

At the present time there are but
three United States penitentiaries,
while there are the same number of
federal jails. The penitentiaries are
| located at Leavenworth, Kan, At
lanta, Ga, and at McNeal Island,
Wash.
The penltentiary at Atlanta, says
the Brooklyn Eagle, is the finest in
stitution of it's kind in the United
States. 1t was erected at cost of
$500, 900, and has $50 Scells, with &C
commodations for over 700 prisoners.
This penitentiary is modern in every
respect, being equipped with the I'm
est of sanitary plumbing, electric
lights and such improvements as are
usually found in we'll regulated
hotel. If there is surviving spark
of responsibility in the heart of q
prisoner sent to the Atlanta peniten-
tiary he has splendid chance to re-
form his ways. He has the benefits
of all the good that results from liv-
ing in nice, sweet. clean and sanitary
quarters.
Examiner La Dow says that it is
his experience that more men are re-
formed in the Atlanta prison than at
the Eastern penltentiary at Philadel-
phia, where the separate system is
observed.
The Leavenworth penitentiary &C.
commodities about 900, and 100 can be
cared for in the penitentiary on Nc
Neal Island, Wash.
The balance Of the federal prisoners
are scattered about in state and other
institutions. AS general thing there
are about 5000 prisoners constantly
under confinement for offenses against
the federal laws. 1t costs Uncle Sam
a pretty penny to maintain the law
breakers in outside institutions, for
each state makes regular charge for
supporting United States prisoners.
A yearly appropriation of $500, 00O
is allowed by Congress for this pur-
pose, but it is not all expended in
paying board bills of oonvicts. Out
of this fund the government gives
each discharged prisoner new suit
of civilian clothes, $5 in cash and
railroad transportation to his home.
The same appropriation provides for
the maintenance of the thousands of
prisoners who are always held for
trial throughout the United States
for violation of the federal laws.
AT the present time there are 400
such prisoners in the District OF
Columbia awaiting the action of the
grand jury.
| 1t is the custom to put the surplus
United States prisoners in the local
penitentiary; that is, if man is
convicted in the state of New York
he is sent either to Albany or to the
Kings county penitentiary. The lat
! ter penal institution was formerly
used very largely for the confinement
of federal prisoners, all the convicts
in the southern states as far west as
Texas being sent there.
Since the adoption of the state con-
stitutional amendment, however, the
penitentiary will receive only such
prisoners as are convicted within the
state of New York. Albany now gets
all the prisoners from this section of
the country. 1t is also customary
now to send to the Kings county pen
itentiary only conviets with short
sentences to serve.
In February OF this year six long
term men were removed from the
Kings county institution and shipped
to Atlanta to complete their SEN
fences.

Velvet and silk will be used lavishly
as trimmings to cloth dresses. Green,

envelope was addressed to Mr. Chris
Hemme Newman, Kansas, and had
been forwarded to Perry. "Mid-Contln-
ent Mills, Topeka" was printed on the
envelope The police telephoned to the
mill and learned that Mr.. Hemme was
a prominent farmer of Newman, ana
that the mills had sent him check II
that envelope for $425. When Rev. Coy
saw the cash scattered on the street, 1T
looked like there was at least half
dozen bills, beside two white papers,
resembling checks. He did not know
the bad young man who appropriated
the cash to his own use, but described
him as being about 20 years OF age, tan
and wearing a dark complexion. Mr.
Henme had not called to look for his
lost cash. and the police haven't cap
tured the thief. Mr.. Hemme had prob
ably lost the money and returned to his
farm before he missed 1t.
Mr. Henry Gregg, an innocent looking
old man with william goat whiskers,
was fined 80 in police court Thursday
for disorderly conduct, which consisted
of acting pilot for a well filed stranger
who was going west to grow up with
the country. Gregg was showing this
stranger around town, and said stranger
was setting 'em up. Gregg steered
stranger to the Rock Island depot, and
they were both uncomfortably full when
Officer Walker fqastened them with his

was arrested, and the other man was

Since the testimony against Officer Will
liam Downie has been heard by the police
committee of the city council. there is
chance for the policeman to stay on the

made the complain, claims that Downie
was trying to kill him when he fired into
the wagon. 1t is quite improbable that
Downie had any such intentions. as he
could easily have shot a horse and stopped
the procession had he been of the opinion
that the occasion warranted any severe
measures The version of the affair. as
told to the. police committee by the officer.
was that he did not shoot to injure the
man or his team but simply a means
of attracting the attention of Officer Goff.

retreat. Possibly. in the excitement of the
chase Downie did something he would not
have done under ordinary circumStances
He thought he was pursuing a bowling
drunk who was endangering the lives of
anyone who CHANGED to be on the street.
The police committee has taken the mat
ter under advisement, and their verdict is
not known. although one member Council
man Weber, has said that he did not see
where Downie had laid himself liable to
dismissal from the force. Van OrSdale is
very indignant and may bring criminal
action against Downie if not satisfied with
the finding of the committee.
