DEFENSE OF GIRLS SCHOOL.
BY Members of State Board of Chari-
ties and Correction.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 22-Just after
the State Humane Society started its
investigation into the conduct of af-
fairs at the State Industrial School for
Girls the State Board of Charities and
Correction, under whose supervision
the school is run, visited the institu-
tion and reported to the governor as
to its condition. After the report Of
the Humane society, which SO severely
criticised the entire management, was
made public. the Board of Charities
and Correction held a meeting, which
lasted until midnight, and at its close
made public their statement to the
governor.
The statement among other things
says: The board has just made a
careful investigation and has found
that the charges are groundless. The
inmates have been punished in a man.
ner necessary to preserve discipline in
the school. We do not believe a single
case of wanton cruelty or undue pun
ishment can be cited. Unless certain
corrective discipline is maintained it
would be impossible to keep the school
In existence a single hour. Inmates
have been punished for violating the
rules of the institution. Girls have
found necessary. In most cases the
failure to do so would have resulted
in destruction and the total loss of dis
cipIine."
The report finds that many of the
difficulties of the school are brought
about because of the lack of funds
necessary with which to carry on the
work. In conclusion the report recon-
mends:
First. the segregation of the inmates
into buildings according to their moral
character.
Second, that the experiment of farm
ing be abandoned, as 1t necessitates
the employment of men and imposes
an unnecessary tax upon the superin-
tendent.
Third, that the inmates be employed
only in the handicraft of women as
sewing, cooking, laundering, etc, and
in acquiring an English education.
Governor Mcdonald is said to have
stated that he was wholly in accord
with all of the provisions Of this re-
port.

Boilers Were Safe.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Secretary
Bonaparte to-day received, and as soon
as he had himself read it. made public
the findings OF the court of inquiry
which investigated the explosion OF
the gunboat Bennington at San Diego,
California, July 21st The findings
We're complete surprise, for they at
once set at rest the stories that had
been circulated to the effect that the
Bennington's boilers and perhaps those
of other naval vessels Of the same age
were defective. AS matter of fact.
the court found the explosion resulted
from the closing of valve which con-
nected the exploded boiler with its
steam gauge. so that the pressure on
the boiler may have been several hun
dred pounds to the square inch when
the accident occurred.
The officers and men who were re-
sponsible, in the opinion of the court,
are pointed out and courtmartial pro-
cee6ings suggested in the case OF the
only one OF them surviving. Ensign

REACHED BY MoFFAT RAILWAY
First Trip to tho Springs Made by
President D. n. Moffat and
PARTY Of Friends,

Denver, Colo, Aug. 21.-David H.
Moffat, builder of the Denver & North
western railroad, familiarly called the
"Moffat" road, took party of friends
over tha line yesterday, making the
first trip into Hot Sulphur Springs.
The road now extends up to within a
mile OF the growing little city, which
contains seventy-five buildings, and
will be laid up to the town itself to-day.

The party was met at the end of the
road by citizens in carriages and light
spring wagons and driven about the
town. The buildings are freshly
painted and much admiration was ex-
pressed for the enterprise of the little
city. The 1S0-foot bridge over the
Grande river had been completed in
the morning
The special train of two cars left
Denver at o'clock in the morning
and returned at o'clock in the even
ing. The members thoroughly enjoyed
every moment of the trip and pro-
nouIce the Moffat road as the most
picturesque mountain trip to be found
anywhere. The road is well laid and
operates with wonderful ease even
while new. Rails are now being laid
at the rate of one and one-half miles
per day. The contract has now been
let to build right up to Gore canon and
the work will be pushed rapidly.
Hot Sulphur Springs was delighted
with the visit of the party of distin-
guished men. The residents are greatly
pleased with the completion of the
railroad into their city, may Of them
having looked forward for year, 10 the
proud day when such an engineering
feat would be accomplished.

DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Aug. 21.
There was good supply of cattle
at all points last week and prices gen
orally lower than the week before.
Eastern markets report good choice
;ornfed beef steers about steady, but all
other grades note a very material de-
cline. On the local market there was
very fe " of the choice kind offered and
prices were very nearly steady on best
beef steers at the close. Common kinds
were about quarter lower. Cows con-
stituted the bulk of the supply, as has
been the case for several weeks.
There were only few loads of good
ones noticed, however, and the trad
ing was draggy on the common stuff,
Good cows are weak to 25
cents lower, with common stuff
showing decline of about 40 cents.
Best grass steers sold up to $4.00 dur
in the week with the bulk at 1925 to
s3.S5. Cows sold up to $500, but 1t
took good ones to bring this price, and
the most of the sales were made
around s2.25 to s2.G5. Bulls were
about steady and veal calves strong to
dime higher. The supply of feeders
and stockers was light and trading
quiet. The demand was fair but not

30 cents lower in sympathy with the
eastern decline. Very few country
buyers are showing up as yet at any of
the markets, as it is still very hot in
the East and flies are bad, and feeder
buyers are not ready to stock up. In
tdications are that there will be more
buyers on this market little later in
the season than ever before, however.
and trading is expected to be good.
While the decline here looks large,
eastern markets show still larger de-
probation and practically everything
forwarded from here has lost money.
1t has been no uncommon thing this
week for shippers to sell out at the
river for 25 to 35 cents less money
than they paid here.
Hogs have been in good supply and
the market unchanged from last week
with sG.05 still representing about the
top. The demand is fair.
The trade in sheep was light, as only
a few arrived. All offerings sold un-
der very good demand at strong
prices, and quotations are higher than
they were week ago. Good demand
here for limited number Of killers.

EAR THQUAKE SHOCK
SHARPLY FELT IN FIVE STATES
Tremor Shakes St. Louis. Memphis,
Tennessee, and Springfield, Illinois.
Mo Damage Reported.

st. Louis, Aug. 22-St. Louis and
vicinity was visited by an earthquake
last night shortly after II o'clock
Three distinct shocks were felt by
thousands of persons in st. Louis and
st. Louis county, as far as Belleville,
Illinois, as far south as Memphis,
Tennessee, and as far north as Spring
field, Illinois.
While the tremors lasted scarcely
minute, they were distinct enough to
awaken sleeping residents of the city,
to cause dogs to bark in alarm and
to wake sleeping children who cried
out In terror.
The shocks, from comparison of
the time they were felt in the districts
visited, seemed to travel from east to
west. There was but All infinitesimal
period between the Shocks, but sec
ond intervening between the first and
second spasms. and about three sec
onds between the second and third, or
final shock.
The trembling of the earth was ac-
companied by dull rumbiing noise,
which sounded like the passing of
distant freight train.
Owensboro, KY, Aug. 22-Owens-
boro and Henderson, Kentucky, and
Evansville, Indiana, were visited by an
earthquake at 11:05 o'clock last night.
Two distinct shocks were felt. Citi-
zens of Owensboro were greatly fright
ened. Many rushed from their homes.
No damage was done.
Springfield, H., Aug. 22.-An earth
quake shook houses in Sprin gfield at
IL o'clock last night
Memphis. Tenn, Aug. 22.-Two dis
tinct earthquake shocks were expe-
rienced here last night at ills
o'clock. The disturbance was more
appreciably felt in the eastern suburbs
than in the city. The shocks were Of
brief duration.

Love Of Fine Ralment Cause of

- ssshoplifting is growing more popu-
lar every day among girls and young
women. Never have so many girls &C
cused of larceny been imprisoned in the
county jail and the cause Of it all is
the display and love Of fine clothes. "
This statement, made by Mrs. M. E.
Woodburn. matron of the Hennepin
county iail. is borne out by the Jail
and court records for the past few
months. There are new eleven women
prisoners in Mrs. WOODBURY. s depart

shoplifters and the other six are &C

Matron Woodburn, "but l am just as
sure as / can be that this is the cause of
the increasing crime among girls, and
conditions are getting worse all the time.
I know from q study of the girls that
come under my charge that the love OF
fine clothes and the desire to keep up
appearances has led ninety nine per cent
Of them into crime and into JAIL: Ihey
see the wonderful displays OF silks and
fine garments that our women OF fashion
wear and they become env1ous. they
cannot buy these things with the wages
they earn and they therefore are Jed
into an immoral life or take to steahng
and shoplifting.'
The girls who now make up the
matron's quota of shoplifters are most
of them sorry only because they were
caught. They excuse their unlawful
acts by the assertion that they needed
the money or the clothes and believe
that they are entitled to as good things
to wear as are their more fortunate
sisters. -,

clothes from one of the downtown de-
partment stores, "Fritzie' Hobbs re

CITIES OUGHT TO
BUILD FIRE GAR.
MINNEAPOLIS INSURANCE MEN
) ARE UNANIMOUS IN OPINION.
Car Would be for General Protection
from Fire Of All Property, They Say,
and Insurance Companies Might Not
Have Hazards on Any Property De-
stroyed by Fire.

Insurance men of Minneapolis seem
unanimous in their opinion that if cleo
trio cars are built to carry fire apparatus
between Minneapolis and st. Paul the
expense Of construction should be en-
tirely met by the cities. This is the
opinion of about a dozen insurance men
seen, tho most Of them were 10th to talk
for publication.
The local board Of underwriters some
time ago took the stand that neither it
nor the companies it represented cared
to stand the cost Of the Minneapolis car.
and the insurance men today stood BY
thus action. E. j. Forster, in charge Of
the insurance department Of the Sc.
Conkll l company, voiced the sen
tlment Of a number.
'nThe car would be, for the general
protection Of all property from fire, -
he asserted, "and not for the protec-
ton only Of property on which the IN
surance companies have hazards. For
instance, there might be some great fire
which would call the car into service,
and in which confagration the old line
insurance companies would have no loss
at all. This is possible. Why. then,
should these insurance companies be
asked to stand the expense Of the car?
The car would be for city fire protec-
ton. Fire departments are maintained
| by the city and not the insurance COM
panies; So should the fire apparatus car,
if built ..-@
Some of the insurance agents are a
little skeptical as to the need of the car
81 don't know as there has ever been
a fire which the department. in Mime
apolis has been so overpowered by as
to have to call on St. Paul for aid, :
one said. 'The combined departments
of Minneapolis make a pretty big show
ing and it would indeed be tremendout
fire with which they could not cope
without aid from st. Paul. But if 6
car is built, it, is the duty Of the city
to pay for it. .r.~~=
John 7. Ruane, superintendent Of thu
insurance salvage corps, doesn't believe
the agitation will ever have any practi
cal result.
"For ten years. he said, "there hal
been talk Of having special cars bull
for the interchanging Of fire apparatu
between the twin cities in emergencies

The Lines on sardine Boxes.

If you are fond of sardines, here is
something that will be useful for you
to know. On nearly every box con-
tanning these delicacies will be found
two parallel lines cut in the top. The
distance between the lines denotes the
size of the fish, whether those in the
tin are small, medium or large. OF
course the smaller the sardines the
better is their flavor, and therefore the
boxes with the lines close together con-
tain the finest fish. Some dishonest
firms are very fond of selling pilchards
to their customers and calling them
sardines, but if you make up your mind
never to buy box unless it has the
two closely drawn lines you may be
certa IN of obtaining the article you
asked for.-London Standard.
