MANUFACTURING CRIMINALS.

But there can be no doubt that
an institution having for it's object
the saving of the youth of the
State and the segregation of juve-
nile offenders from the hardened
criminals is most desperately
needed.
We are unconsciously training
and educating large criminal ele-
ment among our citizenship. 1t is
shame and disgrace that un-
fortunate boys and girls, too, for
that matter, whom the cruelty of
fate has deprived of healthful, NOR
al home restraints and influences,
and who possibly have been set
adrift without father or mother, in
sea of crime, should be permitted
to live and mature into manhood
and womanhood in the very atmos-
phere of wickedness and sin.
1t is criminal, too, on the part Of
the State to assign wayward
youth who has made his first step
in crime to a life Of association
with hardened criminals. 1t is a
stout heart and strong individual
ity that can don the stripes of in
fanny and be associated with MUIR
derers, burglars and villains of all
classes in a penal colony and
emerge with a ray of future hope.
Such an unfortunate must, after
serving his term, whether it be
long or short, return to the world
hardened and more sinful, broken
in spirit and callous to the gibes
and criticisms of his fellows.
After all, it is frequently the
case that environment makes saint
or sinner Of us. A poor devil who
has never known truth and who
has been taught that virtue is a
pretty sentiment for picture books
and fairy stories, is entitled to our
most sincere commisseration, pity
and sympathy. He may be youth
in his teens who never knew a
mothers prayers or fathers
benedictions, yet he is lined up
with murderers and cut-throats,
striped with infamy and placed in
theo ochain-gang.
1t is horrible to contemplate.
We do not believe in feather-beds
and table delicacies for criminals.
We are opposed to every form of
maudlin sentiment for felons.
But there ought to be intelligent
and just discrimination, and there
onght to be supreme effort to save
the youth Of the land from dis.
grace and ruin.
There are today about 300 youths
in the State prison. OF these
twenty-five or thirty are white boys.
We regard these 300 as lost beyond
recall. But there are scores and
hundreds of both colors whose in
evitable destiny is the penitentiary,
who may be saved from disgrace
and made worthy good citizens.
A graded reformatory institution
by whatever name it may be called,
where proper restraints are en-
forced and wholesome instruction
given and useful trades taught,
would do more to save souls, spare
suffering and prevent crime than
anything we could suggest, just
now.-The Monroe (La. Star.

the fields, little less than the dis
tance from the city of Jennings t,
the Jennings oil field. The roat
to Anse la Butte takes one through
a fertile country, green and beauti
full, with a hill now and then, ant
vale, whose great trees form {
cooling shade from the warm sun
Anse la Butte has all the charac
teristics, so far as external appear
ances 60, of an oil field. There
are elevations and depressions
such as one finds at Jennings, and
which are supposed to have resulted
from upheavals proceeding from
the earth's interior. The gas
seepage prevails here over wide
area, and may be seen wherever q
pool of water is found, or where
there is no water, by punching a
shallow hole in the ground and ap-
plying match. The gas bubbles
mp through the water and ignites
readily, causing little explosions
which sound like the bursting Of a
toy balloon. AT two or three
places where there are depressions
in the ground in which small pools
of water are standing, the constant
bubbling of the gas makes a noise
like ripping water. On the slope
of one of the elevations is hole
about seven feet square and four or
five feet deep, the sides of which
was used as sluice hole when
Capt. Lucas was drilling at Anse
la Butte. Here the odor of gas is
quite perceptible. A piece Of paper
was tied to the end of a pole, ig-
nited and lowered into this hole
with the result that the gas, seep-
ing through the moist earth, ignited
and burned steady fame more
than foot in height, just such a
flame as one may obtain by remov-
ing the nipple from an ordinary
domestic gas jet. A two-inch pipe
was thrust into the earth and a
match applied to the free end.
Immediately the gas ignited. At
several places in the locality similar
tests were made, proving the
presence Of gas in large quantities.
On one occasion photograph was
made at night of a group of men
and boys, the light for the picture
being furnished by the natural gas
flame from the ends of two pipes
thrust into the ground.
At one point there is a water
well and here the oil seepage is
quite noticeable. The petroleum
appears in small, dark globules,
which spread upon the waters sur
face, making showing similar to
that which appears on the sluice
pool when the drill has penetrated
the oil sand at Spindletop.
The location selected by the
Heywoods for the first we'll is in
the heart of the tract of land on
which the indications prevail.
This territory was thoroughly ex-
ported in 1901 by G. F. q. Car
acristi, an expert whose work is
entirely along scientific lines. At
the request of the Anse la Butte
Oil and Mineral Company be made
an exhaustive Investigation, and in
his report laid great stress upon
the value of the immense salt de-
posits which underlie the Anse la
Butte locality. This salt bed is
from 800 to 400 feet in thickness.
The following quotation from
the report indicates Mr.. Caracristi's S
estimate of the value of the
property:
ri feel justified in stating that
by the drilling Of six wells, as
hereinafter provided for, you would
be enabled to have a minimum sup

RICHMOND INVENTOR
BREAKS SPEED RECORD.
EDWARD J.. kelley Will Exhibit His
Machine During the
Horse Show.

Mr.. Edward J. Kelley. of this city,
claims to have invented a continuance
which will demonstrate the maximum OF
sneed in the way of visible, material OBJ
1ects. ;,
His invention, intended only for mall
carrying purposes, will, 1t is said travel
so fast that it will destroy itself IN a
flame by friction. The highest reasonable
speed the inventor can count on is $50
miles an hour. and this, he says. will
be attained without difficulty, while it will
be possible to run a car at the rate OF
400 miles an hour, or as fast as car
can travel without burning itself up. By
this car it would be possible to send q
letter from here to San francisco in
twelve hours: from here to New York
in little more than an hour.
Mr. Kelley owns a small machine shop
at the corner of Tenth and Cary streets.
In order to prove that he is absolutely
correct In his claims he will exhibit the
machine some time during the holse show
on a specially constructed track. near
the horse show building. There he will
run the car on switches, showing 1t at the
highest possible speed within SO clrcum-
scribed position, and then the invention
will be offered to the United States Gov
eminent.

THE HEALTH PEOPLE
COUNCIL COMMITTEE APPROVES
ACCOUNT OF J. c. DICKINSON.
SOME IMPORTANT REFORMS
Proposition to Place Removal Of
Garbage Back Under Jurisdiction
Of the Board of Health-NIr. Shea
Opposes the Suggestions.

Another account against the city due
a member of a branch of the city govern
ment was the subject of discussion at the
meeting Of the Council Committee on
Health in the City Hall yesterday at
ternoon. The account in question was
for a small purchase made by Superin-
tendent Henry Cohn, of the Street-Clean-
ing Department, from Mr.. j. c. Dlcken-
son, the well-known harness merchant on
east Main street. Mr.. Dickinson is presf-
dent of the City School Board, and as
SUCH it is commended that he has no right
to-sell anything to the city. The ques-
ton was not debated at length, and the
bill was afterwards paid.
The subcommittee appointed some time
ago, looking to the change of jurisdlc-
ton of the president of the Board OF
Health and the superintendent of the
STRENGTHENING Department., made It's re-
port, but its consideration was deferred
until the next meeting Of the commit
tee. The report recommends that the
cleaning of the alleys and the removal
of the garbage and ashes be turned to
the department presided over by DR.. OPP
penhei,ner, leaving only the care or the
streets to Superintendent Cohn. This re-
port was signed by Messrs. Cottrell and
Sheppard. Mr.. Shea refused to sign the
report, and stated that at the next meet
ing he would present a minority report
involving the changes that he thinks
should be made.
PRESIDENT WOULD NOT TALK.
Dr. Oppenhimer was seen by reporter
of the Dispatch, after the meeting OF
the committee, but he declined to say
anything with regard to the proposed
reforms. He said he did not think 1t
was proper for him to discuss a question
nending before his committee and before
it was finally disposed of by 1t.
Mr.. Shea did not intimate what the
nature of his minority report would be.
but there is reason to believe that fight
will be made before the reforms are
gotten through the Council. It is adj
mitted on all sides that superintendent
Cohn has too much to do with the lin
tied force at his comand, but 1t IS be-
lieyed that there will be move started
TO ask the City Council for more money
with which TO increase the street-cleanlng
force and keep the two departments just
as they are at present.
