WOMAN PRISON CHAPLAIN.
Ministers Regularly to the Hardened
Characters Confined in Lar
annie (Wyo) Jail.

The only woman in the world en-
gagged as chaplain in prison is Mrs.
May Preston Slosson, of Wyoming,
and she performs her duties with a
zeal that is worthy of all praise. She
is a regularly ordained minister of
the Gospel and might be settled over
prosperous church. but she sees her
duty lies among the convicts at Lara
mic and has chosen that as her field
of effort, reports the Chicago Chron-
icle.
Mrs. Slosson received the first de-
gree granted to woman at Cornell
university, where she worked for two
years after she had received the mas
ter's degree at Hillsdale college, Mich
igan.
After graduating she accepted the
professorship of Greek at Hastings
college, Nebraska, and was married in
1891 to Prof. Edwin z. Slosson, pro-
fcssor OF chemistry at the University
of Wyoming in Laramie.
In Wyoming the prisoners of the
state penitentiary were at one time
kept without work OH account of the
opposition of the trades unions to
their employment. Men deprived Of
the saving grace of work, no matter
to what part of the community they
belong, soon become thrown out of
their balance. That happened to the
prisoners, who got into peculiarly
morbid and unruly condition.
1t was in that frame of mind that
Mrs. Slosson conceived the idea which
the authorities permitted her to put
into practice. She arranged for
series of Sunday afternoon talks and
experimental lectures by the profess
sors of the university.
She herself gave two lectures before
the convicts, and when the minister
who was acting as the chaplain left
the town the prisoners petitioned the
governor to appoint her chaplain. He
acceded to the request, and since July,
1899, she has filled the office not only
to the satisfaction of the authorities,
but, what is more important, to the
satisfaction of those who are the en-
forced members of her congregation.
The prisoners number some 220 and
consist for the most part of young
men who have gone west from spirit
Of adventure and have got into trou-
BILE either through drink or from "get-
ting the brand on the wrong CATTLE"
as cattle stealing is euphoniously re-
ferred to by the men themselves.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The four greatest needs of Greece
grain, coal, iron and lumber-are the
ones which the United States would
best be able to supply.
The yearly gross earnings of the
United States Steel corporation are APP
proNimately equal to the gross revenue
received by the United States govern
ment.
Seventy French firms manufacture
motor cars and their combined output
last year was $4,000 cars. The industry
employed 100000 workmen, earning on
an average $500 year each.
Large deposits of stone suitable for
photographic purposes have been dis
covered and opened in Thessaly. Greek
experts report that this stone is far SUI
perior in quality to the best litho-
graphic stone heretofore known in Eu-
rope.
Under the heading, ga New German
Industry" German papers state that
the manufacture of quartz glass is
rapidly developing in that country.
Quartz glass consists essentially of
melted quartz and is perfectly trans
lucent.
The membership of the United Mine
Workers of America, as shown from
the number who paid the per capita
tax during the month of March, is
larger than it has ever been in the his
tory of the organization. Last year it
reached $4,000, while this year it is
264,439.
Peat fuel in freight locomotives in
Sweden has hauled the maximum load,
the cost being about the same as with
English coal. To avoid the expense of
an extra fireman, however, the peat is
now mixed with an equal weight of
coal, and the mixture has proven so
satisfactory thatit is to be tried on pas
senger trains.
The shape of the rudder of vessel
seems to be of more Importance than
has been generally supposed. Expert
ments in Scotland by j. Foster King
indicate that the rectangular form has
decided advantages. as it presents
larger surface at the loda line under
all conditions and requires smaller
stock and working gear than curved
shapes. With sufficient area the mar
row blade is as effective as the broad
one, while it can be set more rapidly.

BRIDAL PHOTOGRAPHS.
as There Were Few
Years Ago.

Brides are probably just as beauti.
full now as ever they were, but they
are not nearly so anxious to record
their post-nuptial loveliness by means
of photographs. Most photographers
say they are glad of it, says the Chi
cago Tribune.
Il never did enjoy taking the pic
lures of brides" said photographer.
Like all the rest of the world I love
the dear creatures; but when it comes
down to four dollars dozen CONNER
cialism they do not satisfy my artistic
instincts. Few brides take good pic
ture. Somehow their togs are not be-
coming. A bride is supposed to look
superlatively lovely on her wedding
day, but if anybody dared to tell the
truth on the subject that superstition
soon would be exploded, and the sweet
things would realize that instead of
looking their best on that occasion
most of them are apt to look their
worst. 1t is the same way when they
come to be photographed in their we'd
ding finery. They are either too pale
or too red, and they have nervous,
anxious expression that robs the face
of all good lines for Photographic pur-
poses.
"The time was when no bride con-
sidered herself really married until
she had arrayed herself in spotless
white and had her picture taken. Cen
orally he came with her, and 'he'
looked just about as foolish as she
did. Goodness, the trouble have had
posing brides and grooms before the
camera. Instead of telling them to
look pleasant, 1 always felt like say
ing: Don't look idiotic if you can
possibly help it, and then would have
to think up some device to keep her
from scrooging down too close against
his shoulder and to keep him from re-
spending with an equally inappropri-
ate embrace. But with all my precau-
tions l never fully succeeded in pre-
venting their acting like lunatics. The
other day, when looking over lot of
old negatives, / came across several
hundred of those sentimental combina-
tons, and I thanked my lucky stars
that nowadays few newly mated cou-
pies have the camera crazeo

Boer War Correspondents.

The movement to honor by suita BILE

respondents who lost their lives in the
South African war revives the recol-
lection of service performed under try
ing and perilous conditions. The com
mittee of the Institute of Journalists
has been compiling list of the CORE
spondents who were killed or died of
disease while in the discharge of duty.
"Killed at Wagon HILL" KILLED at
Slingersfontein," "Killed at Mafeking,"
Died of fever at Simons Town''-so
runs the record. The cost of war in
money falls into insignifcance when
compared with its cost in men. Try

cerned in war can escape the fatal toll

Father-And are both in way to

fectly daubed with the friction dope,
another Is made from cross-grained

three makes are then gently shaken

discarded hide of a banana.

"THERB are tricks in all trades but
ours" says the ancient adage, and it
was probably coined bysomene@spaper
man. In fact. there is historical
reason for believing that the express
sion was first used by Noah when he
published the Ararat Gazette, and was
educed by the poor quality Of con-
signment Of paper which he had just
purchased. Be that as it may, one may
truthfully quote the sentence when
he has occasion to use any Of the
ordinary makes Of present-century
matches. 1t usually requires the de-
struction of at least three Of these
abominable fire-sticks before one sue
ceeds in striking light. Generally
one breaks of, another blazes UP bit
and then goes out, while the third is
not always sure. Matches are much
cheaper now than they were "before
the war;" but they lack the reliability
of the old-time product, made from
block split nearly through and bear
ing bit Of gum stinknm on its sep
arated end. To be sure, when one of
those matches was struck 1t created
disturbance almost equal to the ex-
plosion Of a modern giant flre-cracker,
and skunk extract as deodoyfzer could

STATESMAN. Patterson Is quite
wrathy in our steamed contemporary
this week, Still, the main question
that the Advocate had . list of the
reunion committee and no informa-
tion regarding the matter was given
to the Record by either Armstrong or
Patterson-is true. The Statesman's
explanation Of the way in which he
obtained list Of the committee is
quite Ingenious. He says that the
names.of the -committeenen "were
picked up by us while making our
regular rounds for news and convers-
ing with some of the gentleman whe
are members Of the committee" That
is q very artless explanation, but as
q method of getting reliable list Of
committeeman it is something new in
the newspaper. business.

EY1RY once in 2 while 4 newspaper
or magazine article appears in which
the writer mourns because the Eng
lish language, so expressive and def
mite generally, is 80 weak and bother
some in few instances. The philolo-
gists of America and of Britain and
her blood; related colonies have never
hesitated to reinforce our language
with virile words from other tongues.
None of those who do writing for the
public is disposed to hesitate great
while regarding the coming of word
If he believes it will more clearly ex-
press his meaning than a word duly
fathered by the photographers, al
though he may sometimes ease his
conscience by inclosing it within quo
tation marks. Why, less than a month
ago, the N. 2. folks, in a big adver-
tisement Of the Minnesota state fair,
used the word "pleasurates," and it
cannot be disputed that the word de-
scribed the condition, and the diction-
aries contain no exact synonym for it.
lsi ~
But generations come and genera
tions 60 while we continue the use Of
the same pronoun in such sentences as
":James was present. He told John that
he was good boy" Complaint is made
because there is no word in the Ian
guage that can take the place Of one
Of the "he's."
The writer's also call attention to
the fact that no one who hears or sees
our word ''cousin" knows whether a
male or female cousin is referred to.
Other white mems languages provide
two distinguishing words. Wouldn't t
cousin and ''cousiness'' be an i'm
provement?

ferred to as one OF the congregation. -

do with seeing. Still, We have no
word that covers both.
Again, when you want a person to
see something, even If he be from Ne~
Jersey instead Of Missouri, you show
him. You can "tell" him what you
wish to communicate to him from
yourself. But what single word ex-
presses both the act of taking person
/ to a third person for Information and
the procuring Of that information?
