PRIZES TO BENED1CKs
Married Men Of oIivet Church Can An,
swer Proposals Well.

One Of the most novel entertainments
given this year was the leap year party
rendered the young men by the young
ladies connected with Olivet Baptist
church at the home Of Mrs. James Ever
ington, 400 Union street Sc. Over 100
young people were present, and the eve
ming was one of gay hilarity. Proposals
by the young ladies' formed one Of the
features of the evening that was most
interesting to the gentlemen These pro-
posals had been carefully prepared by the
young ladies, either from concrete exam
pies that had come within their expert
ences or from scenes in fiction. These
were carefully shuffled and distributed
among the gentlemen, who were only toe
glad to answer them. That experience
in such matters counts for something Is
easily seen from the fact that the prizes
offered for the best answers were carried
Oft by the married men.

No Longer FIretrap, but Well Equipped
with Exits.
Many have thought that as the horror
from the Chicago catastrophe abated all
thought Of mending the conditions in
many auditoriums and churches would
similarly disappear. In the case Of the
Olivet Baptist church, on Thirteenth ave-
nue. Sc, the result has been the opposite,
and now it is one of the safest buildings
in the city. All the doors which pre-
viously have swung forward have Been
taken off and opened outward. In the
lecture-room on the ground floor a new
exit has been made directly onto the
street. From the auditorium on the sec
ond floor an iron fire escape has been
put up, offering an easy descent in case
of emergency. In addition to these purely
necessary improvements the lecture room
has been redecorated- The effect the
light green combined with darker shade
and gold Is most bright and cheering.

tfficial County and City Paper
SUBSCRIPTION SIS PER YEAR
Charter.

z
The Pioneer is frank to say
that il does not know whether
the new charter is a good one or
not. So far as the general
scheme Of government which it
outlines is concerned the charter
is amply sufficient. Whether
the charterlis adeq uate in all re-
spects no one can say who has
not carefully considered it. 1t
lis evident that the charter has
enemies; at least the numerous
puerile objections that have been
raised to it show That there are
those who desire its defeat. The
Pioneer suggests that 9 public
meeting be arranged for where
those who know most about the
charter may explain itand where
its merits and it's faults may be
pointed out. The city Ger.
tainly needs a charter and it
81 N t .e -
should be the duty Of every man
who wishes the welfare Of Be.
midi to lind out whether this is
a proper charter or not.

Gees ft to recommend suspension OF the sen
tence. The person is then allowed to go back
10 his home surroundings under the authortta-
tive but kindly control of the Probation Ofh-
ously during such period the court sees II.
If he falls from grace and returns TO evil hab-
its or associates the officer on his own motion
brings him into court and he is then SEN
fenced. If. on the contrary, his conduct is
good. after the probationary period he is dis
charged.
The real purpose Of law should be the re-
formation Of the criminal and the protection of
society, the result Of the present treatment is
that the man is made worse instead OF better.
Experience shows that the present punishment
does not act a deterrent for himself or
others: that at his discharge he takes society
by the throat more viciously than ever. The
true object is defeated. and at enormous
expense to the state.
DR.. Samuel G. Smith of Denver read a
paper on The Child as a Social Prob

study of the child problem in regard to
crime, and enlightened the conference
