Go no JAIL INSTEAD.
NO PRISONERS SENT TO THE
woRKHoUsE TODAY.
Recent Smallpox Cases at Latter Insti-
tuition GAUGE Of Change by
Police Court.

All persons who were unable to pay fines
imposed upon them In the Police Court to-
day were sent to Jail. About dozen pris-
oners who were convicted Of minor offenses
were surprised at being sent to the brown
stone structure instead of to the so-calied
white House."
This change was made by the judges be-
cause of letter from the District Com
missioners transmitting communication
from Mr.. Stoutenburg, intendant of the
workhouse, telling of the two cases Of
smallpox in that Institution during recent
days, and also Of the overcrowded condi-
ton Of the building.
One prisoner who died of smallpox yes
terday morning, as published in yesterdays
Star. was inferred in a local cemetery dur
ing the afternoon.
In the letter to the Commissioners 1t was
shown that there was one case OF the dis
ease from each ward. The woman died.
Sne had been in the prison about two
months before she was taken sick. In the
female workhouse there are 11S prisoners
confined, while there are accommodations
for 140. There are accommoda tions for ZIG
males in twenty-six rooms, and there are
$50 male prisoners occupying the rooms and
available space in the corridors.
Judge Admonishes Prisoners.
During today's session of the District
branch Of the court Judge Scott took occa-
sion to tell the prisoners of the change he
had made in sending them to the jail in
stead Of to the worlkhouse. The Judge re-
ferred to the cases OF smallpox that had
been in the prison and said that the disease
might develop in the Jail at any time. He
said he could not tell how long it would be
before they would be sentenced to the work
house again, and advised them to conduct
themselves in a manner that would keep
them out Of the hands Of the police.
The death of the woman yesterday had a
depressing effect on the prisoners in the
workhouse. Many fear that they will con-
tract the disease.
The prison has been thoroughly fumi-
gated and disinfected, and health Office ply
sicians are vaccinating the inmates. War
den Harris of the District jail does not
relish the present condition of affairs, as he
fears 1t will be but few days before the
jail will become overcrowded.

The Plutocracy Of Pitt.burg.

FROM the New York Tribune.
Pride is feature of the younger genera
ton Of Pittsburgers Of wealth. Things Of
which some Of them think they cannot be
proud-such as the way in which their hard
working fathers got their start In life-they
try to forget. That the fathers are some
times proud Of this same lowly start is re-
sponsible for this incident:
do you know. young man, that once
was very envious of your father?" said one
Of the steel kings to the son of man whose
wealth, while great. could be written with
one less figure
''And when was that" asked the young
man. pleased to think that there had ever
been tinae when the king envied his
father.
"It was this way" returned the old man.
Il was working in a ditch for $50 q
day"
II didn't know you started that way" in@
terrupted the youth.
That's the way. I was working ii, this
ditch for $50 day, and your father was
working in the same ditch. He got 81. rs be-
cause he was stronger. and I envied him
the extra quarter"

Spider Webs and Acoustics.

from the chicago news.
There is hope for the spider. Hitherto
he has been evilly regarded as predatory
parasite, which tolls not though he spins;
his tolls and his castles in the air have
been rudely preached by the long broom of
the housemaid But he may yet come into
his own, for DR.. laval suggests that the
gossamer tissues with which this artist
among insect craftsmen hangs our ceilings
may have acoustic virtues. Speaking re-
Gently at the opening sitting of the Paris
Academy Of Medicine in it's new hall (Which
is acoustically deflcient), he told a story of
a public hall in England which was noted
for its acoustic properties until In an un-
happy moment the ceiling was given a
spring cleaning and a clean sweep made

but thinks it might be good thing to
hang cotton threads over the auditorium
Tapestries hung behind all the openings on
to the rostrum OF his hall were found
greatly to enhance the acoustic effect.

FIREARMS NOT IMPORTED.
Armories in China Can Turn Out ANY
Desired Supply.

AS the United States government has
been recently addressed by the other sigma
tory powers to the treaty Of Pekin respect
ing the exclusion Of firearms from China,
it may be stated that this government is
doing all it can to carry out the treaty
agreement on that point. It's efforts are
largely in the direction of cooperating with
China to prevent the entry of arms Into
that country. 1t cannot under United
States law prevent American merchants
from exporting arms wherever they will.
Investigation has satisfied the officials,
however, that there have been no really
heavy importations of firearms into China.
and indeed there is little necessity for such,
the present two modern armories now in
China being sufficient to turn out almost
any desired supply.

FORESTS IN SAND HILLS.
Planting Of Pine and Cedar Will Be-
gin in the Spring.

The task Of growing valuable forests on
the barren sand hills Of Nebraska will be-
gin this spring, when the bureau Of fores-
try will seed about 100 acres Of the Dismal
river forest reserve near Halsey with red
cedar and jack pine. If the seeding sue
ceeds and is done with economy the bu-
reau will seed and plant the following year
probably 1000 acres in cedar and pines and
will ultimately extend the forest by grad
uaI paintings over a large part Of the 20s,-
600 acres in the Dismal river and Mo
brara reserves.
The sand hills are unfit for agriculture
II large forests can be grown on them, the
timber will be of very great value to
country now without trees, where lumber
brings high prices. The attempt Of the
bureau has every chance OF success.

Preparation for Consular Service.

Some time ago the Mothers Association

number OF letters to United States con-

of the United States consular service as a

education of boys for that line OF work
Probably the most notable return is that

game, and we are trying to play the
same kind of baH-mixing 1t up as
much as possible. The Baltimores were
never strong in pitchers. They could
not compare with the present New
York pitchers. Possibly the New Yorks
have done better than I expected, but
every man on the team has shown
helpful spirit They have all worked
hard. always followed my suggestions.
and none of them has crossed me in any
way I figure on Mathewson, McGin-
nifty and Taylor doing the bulk of the
pitching. Cronin and Miller I will of
course hold in case of necessity, and
both of them are good enough to take
their regular turns if need be. Three
pitchers can do the work in the warf
season, through hot in the spring. Nc
Ginnity is a man who wants to work a
good deal, and Taylor can go ahead and
pitch with his two days rest without
being under q strain. Mathewson is
man who puts his whole heart into ev-
cry ball he pitches. and an occasional
let-up may be beneficial for him.

is a ranchman who owns a $40 acre
ranch near Anthony and during the
past three or four years he has become
well known to the police department
and the license man by his yearly trips
20 this city for the purpose of getting
married. This is said to be his fourth
annual trip for that purpose. When he
came into court this morning on a
charge Of drunkenness, knowing glances
were exchanged between him and the
officers and Jones made haste to explain
that his trouble was in the nature of
matrimonial difficulties instead of in
toxication.
Jones and a woman from Oxford with
whom he had correspondent for some
time and who was TO be the bride ar
rived in the city yesterday in a wagon.
They were chaperOned by the house
keeper from the ranch. The team was
put up at "a livery barn and the party
gard to the wedding. When they began
the march TO the office of the probate
judge in the afternoon the woman in
the case detected an Odor on the breath

suspicion and by the time the court
house steps were reached she had made
up her mind not to become a better half
and 10 amount of persuasion could
change her mind. They came down town
again and the women began to prepare
for the trip home Under the stress of
his new trouble. Jones imbibed a little
too freely and a result he found him
