 "rn fact there is everything that the heart may desire, so far as enjoyment is concerned. Every detail from the begin ming of the festivities to their close has
 been looked to by the Carnival Associa- tion and societies.
 The balls of the several mystic socic- ties, which are looked forward to with l delight by visitors, will be grander this ] year than heretofore"
 How about the individual masking this | year?' Mir. Waddle was asked. Well, that law has been repealed, a
 liberal masking ordinance substituted and an old time celebration will be held. In

AT THE National Prison Congress which this
year held it's annual meeting at Quincy, ILL.,, Dr.
Henry Hatch read paper in which he advocated
the infiction of the death penalty on pronounced
cases of degeneracy Mr.. Hatch also advanced the
theory that persons suffering from incurable dis
should be granted the privilege of taking his
her own life Both of these theories nothing
new They have been before the public for some
time. The late Robert Ingersoll was strong ex-
ponent of the incurable method He believed that
if person was suffering from loathsome disease
and was menace to public health, burden to him
self and relatives, such person should be provided
with modern facilities for committing suicide. This
sounds rather materialistc It u.s. also cold blooded
logic. Humanitarians shudder at the mere mention
of this subject. Socologists and economists believe
it to be solution of one of the vexed problems of
today.
This matter, however, is not likely to receive
serious attention for some time to come. Those who
are agitating the subject as yet few in number
Such radical departure from me-honored CUSTOMS
always arouses considerable opposition AS humani-
tarians will always oppose such measure, it is safe
to say that it will never become operative This
proposition would have been hailed with delight dur
ing the Dark Ages.

II Chance of Uniform

We ALWAYS supposed that the people of Utah
were progressive. That state has just substituted
the brown uniform for that of the horizontal stripes
Almost every state in the Union where model prison
methods have been introduced have abolished
stripes This on the part of the Utah authori-
ties was due to the inmates. It is precautionary
move-a move forced upon the officials by the un-
ruly conduct of the prisoners It is said that when
some of the less hardened criminals forced to
put the horizontal stripes, they felt their humii
alton keenly that copious tears coursed down
their cheeks. This is not strange. Even some Of
the most hardened criminals are possessed with
feeling of pride This remaining spark of pride has
often exerted itself SO strongly that it has proved
their salvation. The majority of our advanced penal
authorities depend almost wholly upon this feeling
of pride in their work of reformation. Extingush
mans pride and he is little better than stick of
cordwood. The stripes have long played i'm
portant part IN the annals OF crime 1t is safe to
say that the time will soon come when they will only
be sad memory While the officials of Utah now
feel that the stripes necessity in order to pro-
duce certain results they will be forced to discard
them for the same

What Newt?

FEW weeks ago the cheerful news was her
aided from Camden, N. j., that the Nonpareil Cork
Works Of that city had been manufacturing life
preservers which contained iron bars in order to give
them the requisite weight Very strange business
morality, this These despicabe scoundrels should
resort to the insanity plea. If they told jury that
they thought they manufacturing anchors in
stead of epreservers, it might them from the
penitentiary IT, however they deliberately planned
this helnous crime in order to enrich themselves,
they are thousand times worse than the nihilists
that infest that state. The entire fire department
of New York should be turned loose on these chaps

brought to the light of day for many decade.

Our FOREIGN Critics.

WHENEVER any Of the celebrities of Europe have
visited this country and then returned to their ma
tive land they to derive great deal of pleasure
in calling Americans money chasers" and 'shop-
keepers" This satire only strs the disabilities of
the average American. It is as ridiculous as it is
ungentlemanly Americans do not care fig what
Europeans think about their enterprise Their bit
ing sarcasm neither wounds their feelings. nor does
it reflect on their manhood. In fact it is a COM
pliment to the American to be called shopkeeper
It signifies enterprise and progressveness. In this
country labor is rounded with dignity that en-
mobiles the worker There is line of demarcation
as there is in England and on the continent. Over
here those who lido not work are called tramps In
Europe the unemployed considered par excellence
amassed in this country in surprisingly short time
many of them by shady transactions the same
thing may be said of other countries whose undevel
oped resources are being exploited by men of vast
capabilities.
Our shopkeepers may derive just much pleas
ure in earning honest living, does the European
frequenter of Monte Carlo, or 'The muddled oaf at
the wicket" Surely it is more honorable to be en-
ployed in building up honest competency than it
is to be employed in squandering earned by the
sweat of other mems brows. The reason why the
American arouses the envious criticisms of these
visiting Europeans is because the former outclasses
the latter in inventive genius, in progressveness, and
in commercial sagacity
Certainly the American is shopkeeper; but a

Gallant StOeSSeL.

The siege of Port Arthur still goes on apace
Stoessel its heroic commander, has Russias emblem
nailed to the mast and boasts that he can hold the
fort for time to come. Since last February the
garrison has been besieged It has been attacked
again and again, but has successfully fought off the
invaders. This siege will long be remembered. 1t
has made Port Arthur historic. From its brave CON-
mander down to the humblest subaltern all are de-
serving of marked distinction from their grateful
countrymen for the splendid fight they are making
for supremacy.
History records few sieges of longer duration
than that of Port Arthur. Many of them pale into
insgnlfcance when compared to it. The sieges dur
ing the Boer War; namely, Ladysmith, Mafeking,
and Kimberly were not nearly SO sangulnary the
siege which is being maintained stubbornly in the
Far East. When the story of Port Arthur is told it
will be repete with thrilling adventures, self-sacri
fees and duty nobly performed. Stoesse is deserv-
ing of much praise. He is fighter; may he hold
the fort until the crack O. doom.
