Water Trough Repaired.

The watering trough at the foot of 18th
street southwest, at its juncture with Mary
land avenue, has been repaired and yester-
daX-Was filled with water for the first time
for week or more. Could horses and
mules talk the animals that used 1t yester-
day would surely have asked blessings on
the heads of those who put the trough in
working order. About ten days ago a
string of freight cars being backed upon
siding jumped the track and ran down
upon the trough breaking the water pipes
that fed it.. AS the trough was the one
that was used by the heavily-laden truck
wagons and other teams coming across the
Long bridge from Virginia, it's absence was
a great deprivation these hot days. Now
that it is fixed there Is great rejoicing
among the animals that make daily trips
from Virginia to this city.

of public authorities. The report says:
Their construction makes it posi-

viously remained in the background.
and it is accordingly not only the in
tent but the duty of the governments
to assist them. II is desirable there

old methods of construction, operation
and regulation, but to introduce every
facility possible. adaptable TO local
needs and available resources.
ut is also desirable that state gov

accord to light railways. either under
the form of subsidies, relaxation of re-
quirements or other methods of assist
ance. the support which they need for
construction and for operation, so that
all parts of the country be adequately
served"

Tells of Horrors of the
Russian Prison System

Well may the inhabitants of st.
Petersburg shudder as they glance
beyond the Neva, at the dark fortress
when each hour the north wind brings
across the river the discordant sound
of its melancholy bells. says a writer
in the st. James Gazette Melan-
choly, indeed, for nothing but mem
cries of suffering and oppression sit
upon its granite walls. Here Peter
/. tortured and mutilated his enemies.
Here he slew his own son, Alexis, and
to this dungeon during the disgraceful
reign Of the expresses, ompipotent ia
vorites consigned aspiring rivals. And
since then whole generations of men
and women. for no other crime than
love of their oppressed country, have
entered these gates, often to leave
them no more.
The horrors perpetrated with in the
fortresses of st. Peter and st. Paul
and the Schuesselberg are typical of
the prison system all over the Rus
sian empire, and in spite of official eff.
forts to suppress the facts it has
been possible to obtain the truth. both
from former officials and from those
who have suffered.
A special refinement of the Russian
prison system in the case of political
prisoners and suspects, who are not
given short shrift on the glacis or
the gallows, is continued solitary con-
finement until, as in the case of that
splendid intellectual reformer. Dmitri
Pissareff, they can be reported as
harmless" Some prisoners here were
relieved of their senses quite gently
and almost politely. They were shut
up in comfortable cells well lit with
electric light, and for metal pabu-
lum. they were supplied with only re-
ligious and technical works. When in
sanity or suicide supervened. the ap-
pointed end had been secured.

THE Mercy of the Gar"
Do you know what ii is to have
your sentence of death committed by
the Car? A little while ago Europe
commented with satisfaction on the
Communication by the Car of three
death sentences out of five. These
fortunate ones" were immured in
cells in the fortress of st. Peter and
St. Paul. Not only were these dens
dark for twenty-five hours out of
twenty-four. but the walls were run
ming with damp, and pools of water
had gathered on the floor. Neither
books nor anything that might dis
tract the mind was allowed, and one
prisoner having been found designing
geometrical figures with his bread had
it removed by the jailor. with the re-
mark that hard labor convicts were
not permitted to amuse themselves"
Another calculated torture in these
cells is the eyehole. at which a warder
or soldier is posed to watch the pri-
soner. By this means the quietest
prisoner is soon moved to frenzy. and
the slightest INSTRUMENTATION is at
once punished by merciless flogging,
if not worse. Thus it comes about
that of the three men whose sentences
had been committed. one after a year

Miss Helen eouId,s Charities.

The charities of Miss Helen Gould
amount TO about 100000 annually.
and while this amount seems small in
comparison to the great sums given
away by Messrs. Rockefeller and Car
negie, 1t must be borne in mind that
Miss Goulds donations are nearly all
of personal nature. 1t is said by au.
thorities on the subject that Miss
Gould contributes to more individual
charities than any other person in the
world. Through her secretary more
than $2,500,00O has been distributed
to thousands of benefciaries. About
200 personal letters asking for help
are sent to her each day, but they are
thoroughly digested before Miss Gould
sees them, most of the applicants
proving unworthy. In one week re-
quests amounting to s1.500,000 have
been made.
