UNKNOWN MAN FOUND DEAD
NEAR THE CITY THIS MORNING

cause of these things it is presumed
the man was a transient laborer and
had gotten the provisions with the in
tention of cooking a meal. If he had
any companions they have not made
themselves known thus far.
How the man came to his death is
mystery. That he was not struck
or run over by train is indicated by
the fact that he was not crushed OF
bruised. The only cut upon his per-
son is a straight cash about six in
ches long close to the small of his
back. His backbone was broken ana
also his left hip, while several of his
ribs were displaced, though outwardly
the body shows little signs of the in
juries. In the opinion of DR.. Cole the
man was killed through jumping oI
falling from a fast moving train.
The last train to pass over the track
before No. "a was an extra frelgli+,
No. 3OS, which reached here at 1880.

you won't need any change II you
go to the lodging house" he was told
"They make you pay for what you
get down there" said the caller. "Pve
been at the mission before and know
what I'm talking about"
He was told that reference had been
made to the municipal lodging house
and not to the mission.
And | know all about that place
too" said the man who wanted few
pennies to help him along. Down
there man don't get the worth of his
labor, and it's too late to so there now
anyhow"
The house, he was told, was kept
open every night until ten o'clock, and
he was advised that he had about three
hours in which to reach there.
III 1t keeps open until ten o'clock,
the caller said. "the rules have beer
changed since last year. | know they
closed the doors earlier than ter
o'clock last year"
Until he had volunteered this infor

preston that the man who had asked
for assistance was stranger in the
city. In response to questions, he sale
he had come here from New York two
days ago, and thought he would stoI
here a short time before proceeding

weather conditions. He was no
pleased with his reception at head

JUVENILE CRIME IN ITALY.
Depravity of the Young the Result
Of Bad Environment and
Illiteracy.

Consul Britain, OF Kehl, Germany,
furnishes some startling statistics on
Juvenile crime in Italy, taken from an
article recently published and written
by Limo Ferriani. He says that 80
per cent. uf the child criminals Of Italy
are manufactured by bad environment
and inadequate education-in other
words, by preventable causes; that 80
per cent. OF the criminals of the coun.
try are minors. and Of these S5 per
cent. are thieves.
Prof. Ferriani protests against senti-
mental description, but pleads for sci
entific investigation. He himself has
closely studied 500 boy prisoners be-
tween the ages OF IL and II and re-
ports that more than half Of them
came from the most wretched hames,
and over 200 had criminal parents.
Very few had ever done any work. all
were sexually corrupt: nearly all
smoked and many had taste for alco-
hol.
As a proof OF how little good Is ef-
fected by mere instruction apart from
moral training, he asserts that the best
scholars were among the worst offend
ers. AS an alternative to prison the
author proposes agricultural colonies
In districts where the air Is bracing
with good food and outdoor work,
kindly discipline and the supervision
