THE MAMIE DECRIs CASE.

With the Prison Commission and the
Legislature seeking the facts in con-
nection with the sensational whipping
of Mamie DeCris at the prison farm
at Milledgeville the truth ought to be
obtained. The story that Miss De-
Girls told yesterday was a sensational
one, and is calculated to lead to fur
Their proceedings. 1t seems that the
immediate cause of the whipping was
a statement that Miss DeCris, ac-
cording to her story, made to another
convict relative to a proposal that
had been made to her by Capt. Ala
good, deputy warden.
The whipping seems to have been
much more severe than it was at first
reported to be. 1t was a whipping that
ought never to have been administered
There is no good reason why the wom-
en- prisoners should be subjected to the
lash or the strap. There are other
and more humane ways of administer
ing punishment that would be just as
effective and far less hrutalizing
The fact that the Legislature took
up the DeCris case so promptly shows
no sympathy with the application of
brutal methods for the enforcement of
discipline on the prison farm. While
there may not be sufficient time at
this session to go thoroughly into the
question as to whether the convicts
90 Ilxy c11h{antod 10
ment, it is pretty certain that the mat
ter will be taken up at the session next
year, and a thorough inquiry made.
In fact, a committee may be clothed
with power to go into the subject dur
ing the recess. That perhaps would
be the better course to pursue.
OF course If the charge made against
Capt. Allagood is proven to be true
there will be no further use for his
not true it is a question whether he is
the man that should have the power
to say when and to what extent con-
victs should be whipped. AS a matter
of fact, as we have already stated, the
women should not be f1ogged at all, and
it is question whether it wouldn't
be advisable to abandon the whip or
strap or whatever instrument is used
in inf1icting punishment.
The aim should be to treat the con-
victs so that at the close of their
terms they would be prepared to be-
come good citizens. They should not
have all the good there is in them
beaten out.

The forthcoming international yacht
race will probably be the last of its
kind to be sailed with freakish skim
ming pans having prodigeous bronze
and lead fms hung to their bottoms.
Future races for the Americas cup.
unless something unforeseen occurs,
will be sailed by yachts that are real
yachts. and not merely racing ma
chimes constructed at great cost and
fit for nothing except the scrap heap
after the race is over. The leading
British yacht clubs have already
changed their measurement rules and
the New York Yacht Club has fol-
lowed suit, the new regulations to be
of force after this year. Under the
new regulations the Swimming pan
will be so heavily penalized that she
will not be considered at all by chal-
lengers and defenders.
1t is a misnomer to call boats of the
type of the Reliance and Shamrock
ninety-footers. Standing on even keel
and in smooth water it is true that
their water line is only ninety feet,
but when they heel over to the wind
their sailing line is increased probably
as much as ten feet. That is why the
long overhang, forward and aft, is
provided. The overhang, under the
old measurement rules, is not penal
ized so that the so-called ninety-footer
really becomes a 100-footer when she
is under full canvas and racing. The
new rules will tax every square foot
Of canavs and every foot of over
hang, and the boat with deep and
roomy hull will receive from the fin
keel scow such an amount of time al
lowance that the latter will have prac-
tically no chance to win a race. Girth
and hull measurement will be the ba-
sis of calculation, not water line.
The new rules are to be commended
They ought to have the effect of re-
viving the old-time, wholesome yacht,
built for comfort and service, good for
a cruise as we'll as for a race; a YES
sci capable of crossing the ocean on
her own bottom and under her own
sail actually, not nominally as in the
case of the several Shamrocks. With
the international race confined to such
practical, seaworthy yachts, it would
afford a much more satisfactory test
of the skill of the countries repre-
scented in the matters of ship build
ing and seamanship.

BOYS Got the watermelon.

In front of one of the stalls at the
market square, says the Kansas City
Journal. there was a symmetrical row
of nice, green, chubby looking water
melons that attracted the eye of every
one who passed. A crowd of dirty
little street urchins CHANGED to be
passing that way and they stood for
sorhe time looking longingly at the
heap.
Say. mister, how much is they?"
asked the most venturesome youngster
of the lot as he put his hand on the
largest one of the melons and patted
it affectionately.
"Thirty-five cents. Now clear out of
here" was the response of the STALL
keeper.
The boy took his hand from the
melon, but remarked as he did so:
:I'll bet you, mister that melonll be-
long 90 us kids fore the day is over,
and we won't swipe it neither"
There was whispered consultation
among the youngsters and they soon
scampered away, while the good ma
tured stallkeeper forgot all about their
threat. 1t was not long before the
little ringleader was sauntering leisure
ly by the stall and eating a half spoil
ed banana. Had anybody been MOTTO
ing him carefully they would have
seen that he was bestowing generous
pieces of the banana upon the pave
ment When the banana was gone the
the youngster took up a position near
the stall. The early morning Gus
toners began to arrive and the STALL
keeper with the tempting watermelons
soon had purchaser. She was a
stout lady who had come down in a
buggy to do her early morning buying,
and she bought a watermelon.
Perhaps the little boy would carry
the melon to the buggy" The little
boy was willing, and a CLEAN of de-
light crossed his face as he took UP
his burden. He was nearing the buggy
when he slipped on a piece of the
banana in his pathway. He screamed
as he fell fiat upon the big melon,
which burst in a dozen pieces. A
score of boys were on the scene in an
instant picking Up the fragments.
I'm awfulY sorry missus," the
youngster began tearfully as he re-
gained his feet; then as he saw the
others hurrying round the corner with
the pieces of melon his little brown
legs gave chase and he yelled: Hi.
there! Save me a hunk-will ye?''
Some hours later a little dirty faced
youngster looked up impudently into
the face of the stallkeeper.
1--WE never swiped il neither. mis-
ter" he said, and even the market
man had to laugh.

Sure enough, there on the table
was a handsome case, and in it were

use and the other to replace the one
he wore in case it was broken. That's

A shnrp Chinese Editor

The editor of the Chinese Daily
World, published in this city, is
graduate of Yale, says the San Fran
cisco Wasp, and while retaining all the
characteristic rettcence of his race he
is, nevertheless, rather clever at re-
partee, as was recently instanced when
a rather dapper young fellow called at
the World office to sell certain grade
of paper. The editor affects the Amer
lean style of dress, and the paper
house drummer thought he would be
smart and opened the conversation by
impudently asking, What kind of
a 'nese are you-a Japanese or a Chi
nese ?" The editor smiled blandly,
and with a courteous bow retorted:
Before 1 answer your inquiry will you
kindly inform me the kind of a key
you are, and tell me if you are a mon
key, donkey, or a Yankee?" The
drummer fled in dismay.

A DESTROYER OF MOSQUITOES.

Newark, n. j., is the real home of
the mosquito. There the pesky in
sects thrive and multiply amazingly.
The inhabitants of the city are seek
ing all the while for means of getting
rid of them, and there have been many
kinds Of means recommended for that
purpose. So far. however, there has
been no discovery that promises relief
from the trouble. There is just ray
of hope in an announcement made a
day or two ago by Newark doctor,
who thinks that in the X-ray he has
discovered something that may be
turned to account in fighting the mos
quito.
He noticed in his laboratory the other
night that whenever a mosquito passed
through the path of the pale green
glow from his X-ray lamp its earthly
career came to an end. The following
morning the housemaid swept up pref
ty nearly a dust pan full of mosquitoes
that evidently were the victims of the
X-ray lamp. The Newark doctor, while
not ready to announce to the world
that the X-ray is a destroyer of the
mosquito, is satisfied from his obser-
vations thus far that it can be made
of immense value in fighting the an
noying insect.
1t would be interesting to know how
the doctor proposes to use the X ray
lamp in a war on mos Iuitoes Is II a
fact that the insects are attracted by
the light of the lamp, and that all that
it is necessary to do in order to
slaughter them is TO put the lamp out
of doors and let them come within the
sphere of influence of the rays?
Besides, it is not everybody that has
an X-ray machine Perhaps it is the
purpose of the doctor to recommend
that towns buy a machine and put it
at work in some open place for the
benefit of the public. After all. it is
probable that the best way to fight
mosquitoes is to keep the surround
ings well drained. If plenty of breed
ing places are provided mosquitoes
will put in an appearance in sufficient
quantities to make life miserable no
matter how many machines for their
destruction are used.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Charleston Post (Dem.) says:
MY, my, but they are getting ugly in
Georgia! A lobbying scandal in the
Legislature, peonage cases in the
courts, and now tales of great cruelties
in the penitentiary. We shall be get
ting as bad as the North if we don't
check our ways quickly"
The New Orleans Picayune CDem.)
says: IF a country could have an
aristocracy of honor, virtue, truth and
Justice, it would indeed be a nobility,
but until then we will have our hog
kings and cattle kings, and iron kings
and railroad kings and other such sorts
of millionaries. That will only
be a self-styled nobility. 1t will have
no other title to power and privilege. :"
The Chattanooga Times (Dem.)
says: I'VE are persuaded that if Mr..
Bryan will keep quiet the Populists as
well as the Democrats will settle the
differences in the usual accepted way
by submitting them 10 the sovereign
decision of the people. That would be
the best for Mr.. Bryan, and We can
wish him no better fortune than that
he should do this; but whether he does
or not the result will be the same"
The Columbia Is. c. State (Dem.)
says: Although a new tobacco state,
South Carolina is feeling the squeeze
of the trust no more than those states,
such as Kentucky, whose chief indus
try is tobacco growing. j. b. Duke,
at the head of a trust whose aggregate
capital is S457. 600 600, absolutely con-
trolls prices. Most of the capital in the
trust represents profits made in the
business, which are enormous. The
trust is warned by the Courier Journal
against shortsighted policy of refusing
the planter a fair profit Public opin-
ion viii in time condemn and the farm

Wv the Mine was Named.

Up in the Black Hills of South Da-
kota is a mine with a peculiar name
This is the way it came to be christen-
ed, says Lippincott's.
A prospector and his wife were one
day strolling over the hills on a little
excursion. In stepping from one rock
to another the man CHANGED to as
lodge a stone. AS he picked up tne
chipned rock to toss it away his eye
fell on a little thread of yellow. 1t
was gold.
When the mine had been staked out
and the claim filed at the land once,
the question of a name was raised.
His wife asked him to call it after her.
The man smiled sweetly. 1T is just
as you say; the mine shall be named
in your honor"
And from that day to this one OF
the richest gold mines in the Middle
West goes by the endearing name of
Holy Terror"

purpose of communicating with one
another, but it seems not always 10

note to a young woman in that town
requesting the pleasure of calling. on
her. On one corner of the envelope
he placed the letters IS. B. NJ An
answer was received in due time,
which bore the letters "E. H., 7. c.

she asked what IS. B. N" meant:
