NEW SOURCE OF SUPPLY.
England Is Buying Fresh Meat from
South America.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE position of
the beef trade in this country is in
very interesting state at the present mo-
ment, says a Tribune dispatch from
London. Although Smaller quantities of
dead meat have been shipped recently
from the United States, yet prices have
not been maintained at all successfully
by the great American houses in the
Smithfield market This is on account
of new competition from South Amer
lean meat shippers, which has become,
to the great satisfaction of the English
element in Smithfield, of a formidable
nature Finding they were prevented by
the English board of agriculture from
shipping cattle alive to England the
South American houses some months
ago set to work in earnest to ship dead
meat At first they tried freezing it but
with poor success for the cargoes came
to market in much the same state as
Australian frozen met-hard and alto
gether outclassed by the American chill
ed beef. The latest shipment from South
America, however, was in the opinion of
the market, practically as fine in con-
dition as the American chilled beef, and
it sold at prices only a shade below
those of the American commodity The
problem of cheaper meat also is brought
nearer to solution by the news that Ar
gentine has agreed to accept the terms
which the board of agriculture has so
long stipulated for as the only condition
upon which British ports could be re-
opened to live stock from that country

HOW TO PREVENT CRIME
Rev. Francis Hayes Discusses
Failure of Penal System.

There ought to be a man in Topeka
with a head clear enough and an eye keen
enough to help these people" said Rev.
Francis L. Hayes at the First Congrega-
tional church Sunday morning N his ser
mon upon the theme Eye Come Unto Me"
1t was the view which the Rev. Mr.. Hayes
held regarding the manner of helping de-
fectives and dependents of this city in a
systematic way
1T is high time we were giving atten-
ton to this" he continued. There are
those who are in need. but not do
this alone We must get at it on bust
ness basis. 1t is question of preventing
pauperiZation and criminality.
Crime has been increasing rapidly of
late years. There has been a weak SEN
timent that punishment was TOO severe.
1t has been reported that the governor of
a state not far from here haG pardoned 500
criminals during his term of OFFICE. I'm
certainty of conviction has done no little
in this increase of crime. In the French
colony of Caledonia there is rarely ever
if he were to commit crime he would
be court-martialed within IS hours. In
certainty of punishment is Il grievous
thing.
Criminals may be divided into two
classes: those who are haDitually incorrl-
gible and those with whom reform is pos
Sible. congratulate the citizens of the
which has been pursued by the present
state administration. And 1 wish you woul1

Rev. Mr.. Hayes deplored the conditions
existing in the county jails of this state.
declaring that they were the means of
starting many man on the straight
road to hell' through their failure to FRO
vide means of separating the different
classes of criminals.
1T is a shame to our state, said he,
that all prisoners should inhabit the cams
room. No wonder the board of charities
asked for separate places of Incarceration
and that plans for all new jails be sub
mitted to a board of inspectors. In Mas
sachusetts the first offense does not sub
ject a man to jail sentence, bu1 be is put
under a probationary officer. This avoids
making a criminal class. AS long as our
jails and penitertiaries are under control
of men who have done some good party
service, good men will have to give place
to green men. 1t is a shame that the
state provides winter hotels for tramps
and fattens them while giving them moth
ing to do. One of the ways to reform a
is to put wit hin his power the knowl-
edge of some trade to help him to an hon
est living. But what per cent of prisoners
are given manual training?'
Rev. Mr. Hayes believes that the liquor
business and lack of proper parental train
ing in youth has teen responsible for much
crininality. He closed his address with
an appeal to the people TO helT person.
ally in every possible way those who were
in the criminal and pauper classes.

shorey Wants a Car Line.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
With the many circulated reports of
the Ninewood people building street car
lines to various parts of the city and the
suburbs, Shorey and North Topeka are
entirely left out of the list Shorey is
the only suburb of Topeka that is not
connected by car line, and it wants
one-wants it bad. A car line from the
south side to Shorey the reform school
and even as far north as Rochester
cemetery, would accommodate some two
or three thousand people, counting those
who live west of Harrison street ana
north of the river. A large number of
the people living in this district have
employment at the Santa Fe shops or do
business on the south side. Many of
them are compelled to keep horse ana
buggy in order to go to and from their
work, which they could dispense with if
there were street car accommoda tons
From the number of citizens who would
be patrons of the line, we are certain
it would pay the car company as web,
if not better. than the lines running to
Parkdale or Oakland. The people are
not caring who builds the line-either
the old or new company-or the route
they take. SO much as they want the
line. f. T. REMNANT.

Theosophists.

from San Diego says: Henry Baron,
adopted son of Mrs. Katherine Tingley.
has left the Point Iona establishment
of the Universal Brotherhood and is in
hiding here. He says that the colony at
Point Iona is afraid of being attacked
and has placed a guard over the place.
He was on guard but made his escape
when the watch was relieved. His an
nounced intention is to go to Los An
geles and begin proceedings against
Mrs. Tingley for the recovery of papers
which he thinks will reveal the secret
of his parentage. He further says:
Il left Point Iona because I am dis
couraged and broken hearted. am dis
heartened by the way the poor people
are treated there. I don't believe some
of them get enough to eat. Those who
are not rich enough to pay their way
must work for the others. There are
mothers over there who are not allowed
to see their children. Mrs. Tingley says
that mother love breeds selfishness. So
they keep the children by themselves"
Baron then tells the story of his own
life showing that he had served in the
navy during the Spanish war.
Secretary General F. NJ. Pierce when
asked about the report of Baron deser-
ton of the colony declared that it was

New York. Nov. 17-In discoursing on
THE Relation of the Church to
Amusements" at the Madison Avenue
Baptist church in this city, DR.. George
c. Lorimer has argued that recreation
is as necessary as food to man, AMI
that the church never has been oppos-
ed to pure and innocent enjoyment
I'VE need recreation and amuse
ment," he said. las much as we need
food and sleep. We need those forces
that will bring summer into our lives
and enable us to enter into our work
cheerfully. Amusement tends to re
fresh our minds. sweeten our tempers
and render our hearts more genial.
Sometimes man tries to live exclus-
lively on meats, abiuring the lighter
food, fruit, vegetables and sweets. Soon
he finds himself full of pains and aches.
So it is with our minds. If we give
ourselves all to solid foods and nothing
to play we shall be mentally and physi-
cally in the condition of madness or
death.
Il sympathize too, deeply with the
stage people and recognize the condi-
tons under which they work and also
the uselessness of reforming the stage
from the pulpit The reform must
come from the inside. from the theater
itself"
