banlshed TO New York by her fond

kuropatkin's Heroism.
the Baltlmore Amerlcan.

FROM the BalumOrc American.
General Kuropatxin is today Russa's
hero. For several months every move
ment OF his has been chronicled-his bold
utterances IN ST. Petersburg, his farewell
visit to his. mother and the services Of
the Russian Church specially ordained for
his benefit. His Imagination has sent the
Japs head.ong into the Yellow Sea, and
the time OF his arrival az Hardin has been
eagerly calculated. He is there now and
the world is on the qui vive for the tre-
mendous things which arctic be speedily
done. Tho world has been taken into Rus
sia's conndo1ce on this occasion and Ku-
ropatkin's name has fairly burdened the
wires for weeks.
Another OF these Russian prodigies Is
Makaron. the Admiral commanding the
Russian fleet at Port Arthur. 1t is report
ed that he has sailed out OF the harbor.
The despatch does not give the length
and time Of his itinerary or whether the
Japanese fleet was in the vicinity. II Is
probable that the latter was off on a
cruise. II is something. however. TO have
mustered up the courage TO go out and
take an airing. He will probably not stay
long. II would not be wholesome. 1t is

she loses her fleet she will have nothing
with which to cut or the retreat of the
Japs when they are flying from the wrath
of this Russian Bonaparte.
The Japs have generals and admirals.
but their names are not as familiar as
household words. Admiral Togo is possi-
bly, an exception. because he has given the
public good reason to remember his name.
But the Japanese generals and admirals
are, on tho whole, quite modest. There do
not seem 20 be many swashbucklers
among them. DiSe the late General Won
Moltke, the Japanese stan at home ap-
pears TO have cut out the work for the
army and navy to do and the subordnates
arc doing IL without saying a word OF
revealing a plan Of any description. Their
geniuses and heroes win be counted when
the work IS done. That is probably the
best way and tho safest.

simply sailed in search Of other lands
and islands which were commonly re-
ported to exist In farther sea. Mr..
Vignaud claims Columbus never pre-
tended, prior to the voyage, that the
expedition was TO fnd a new route to
the Indies and hence to demonstrate
that the earth was round. but that
the idea was an afterthought, invented
to giorify the adventurer. He asserts
that Colun bus showed such a lack Of
veracity that the historian must disre-
gard statements that have no other
foundation tlian that OF his word or the
word Of his family and friends.
II Is not necessarily true that a man
false in one thing Is false in all. but
even admitting that Mr.. Vignaud has
made out n case the charge of drawing
a long bow does not impair the claim
OF Columbus to honor and Immortality,
as Mr.. Nignaud admits. The fact re-
mains that Columbus found a new
world. ana II the discovery was the re-
suit OF accident rather than design,
and II he subsequently lied about his
motive his work remains. IN the writ
ings Of many modern and most ancient
and medieval historians, to say Moth
ing of travellers, fact and fancy are
well nigh wrong but wholly natural,
In an age that cried aloud for marvels,
for Columbus TO seek to crafty the ap-
petite OF his time. Herodotus was the
father OF history and according to some
the father OF lies also. and in medieval
time Marco Polo employed his imagin-
alton as well as his eyes. yet without
making worthless the record Of his
VOYAGES.

that the overcoats can be laid away for

This is the most delightful season Of

shoots and buds which when the hot
summer months come will shelter man
and beast from the hot rays OF the sun.
The buli-frog in the pond sings his
evening song and all the little froglets
Join In the chorus.

remember that his legs were made tc

the plan for a driveway across the park
land into Or. Rumford's house near
Fourteenth and Market streets had been

SOME PRISON REFORMS.

The Prison Association OF New York
recently made its annual report to the
legislature OF that State. ana it con-
tains sweeping araignment Of the
present penal system.
Most Of the men," It says. SEN
fenced to short terms In county peni-
tentiaries and In prisons, in the course
Of six or nine months are going out Of
prison worse than they came in" and
this is no new experience. We believe
in punishment. and laxity in the ad-
minstratlon Of Justice finds no favor
IN our eyes: but when we are confront
ed with the fact that prisons trans
form the man who has stumbled once
into a hardened criminal. 1t shows that
the time has come to find a remedy.
And what is the remedy? 1t has al
ready been found in the system Of sus-
pending sentences and putting guilty
ones on probation. Where figures are
available there is proof that very
small percentage Of these probationers
break the law a second time, while
there are very few men who have
served terms in prison who cease their
criminal career.
In France any sentence OF less than
two years for a first ofense Is made
probationary. And the law has worked
well. II tho accused behaves himself
for five years. the sentence expires. and
1t Is said that this IS the conclusion
Of most OF them. Before this became
the law forty-six per cent. OF those who
were sentenced once committed other
offences. but since this law has been in
operation only a little over nve per
cent. OF first term criminals have COM
mltted a second offense.
There Is another abuse which is prev
aient In this country and we believe the
time Is about ripe for a reform II IS
our method Of OBTAINING ontried per-
sons for months In prison. awaiting the
leisure OF courts and prosecuting ofi-
GERS. IN numerous instances persons
are held in prison for months only to
be discharged or acquitted after trial.
Presumably they are innocent, and II
so. the State has inflicted upon thom
a grievous wrong.
There is vet a wide field for reform
in onr penal systems, and we predict
that when true reform comes there wA.
be less crime.

LlvE PAPERs IN JAPAN.

That the Japanese are wide awake
and quick to taRe advantage Of every
opportunity is again attested by let
ter The Evening Journal received from
"a press association, called the Togo

speaks well for the newspapers OF that
country and those who suppose they

taken. The letter is interesting.

"The Wizard Of o." comes to the
Grand Opera House next Monday night.
If you do not know, one of the children
in your house may be able to tell you
about Dorothy Gale, a Kansas little
girl. who was blown to Fairyland in a
cyclone, at least Mr.. Baum says she
was and he must know, else how can
he give so many particulars? Some Of
them are illustrated faithfully in the
play. But the Juvenile criticism will
be that the tale is perverted to make it
please adults equally with children.
Dorothy is embodied so small, alert and
nimble by Isabel Diamond that no
reader of the book can be disappointed
and the storm that sent her touring
sky high is made by whirling lights
and shadows to look as Mr.. Baum de-
