began his address there were prob

nearly every seat in the large dis

audience was in close sympathy
with the speaker and when he pro-
duced evidence from the COMPRESSION

was enthusiastically applauded. In
fact, Mr.. Etheridge was forced TO
pause a number OF times until the
applause subsidized The applause of

4 QUEER EVENT.

They are away behind the times in China. If they were not they wouldn't have done what they did at the recent great athletic meeting at Canton. At that meeting an arithmetic race was one of the events" Pupils from the schools carried slate and pencil, and in the course of the race they encountered a sum to be solved. The boys were lined up as they reached the goal, and those whose calculations were wrong were then eliminated. The first three left in the line were counted winners.
 Of course as the Chinese progress they will drop all literary antics out of their athletic events" Thy will find that they can't combine brains with brawn in any such way, and they will find that 1t isn't good business. Imag- inc football game interspersed with literary exercises. The Chinese mus brace up if they intend to keep in the modern game.

 Mr Twitohell opened wide the door, disclosing a dining table There were three places at the table, one for the elder Twitchell, another for his son, and third for the new Mrs Twitchell. The young bride and her yuothful hus- band came forward beaming..
 T think we have acted wisely" said the young woman, as she cast shy glance at the younger Twitchell. But we feel deeply appreciative of the sacrifice wtlich Father Twitchell made and I think we shall want him to re- main always with us.
 "She is right" but in the elder man, T am glad I can give the two my blessing."
 Father certainly has been generous in this difficult mixup," said young Twitchell, with a spontaneous burst of gratitude. "I don't know how I ever will be able to repay flim for the sac- rifiee. He has been in a good father to me, and I want to have him with us as long as he is willing Ito do so, for we can never do enough for him."
 Then you are all satisfied with the arrangement? ?" was asked
 Yes, most assuredly," responded the trio, with sincerity. This Sunday is the happiest day of our lives"
 And so the afternoon passed. Each member of the family tried to say and do something that would add ito the joy of the other two.
 When asked why she married the son so soon after the divorce was granted, Mrs Twitchell explained that it seemed to be the most logical thing to do. She said she didn't think Judge McESwen would object
 Judge McEwen, who granted the elder Twitchell divorce, was asked if any legal action would be taken in the case, inasmuch as the young woman married again before the two year limit

EVERYBODY SATISFIED.

Husband Gives Up Young Wife to Stepson and Makes Himself Agreeable.
 Watson H, Twitchell, the West Side manufacturer, who gave up his young wife to his son because sire confessed her love for the young man, yesterday gave his blessing to the youthful couple after they returned from Ham, mond, Ind, where they were married quietly on Saturday, where the bride wore the same dress in which she was married to tile elder Twitchell.
 The happy trio, the father, the son, and the latter's bride, enjoyed wed- ding dinner together at the rooms of the elder Twitchell, 40 North Green Street.
 The scene in the homelike apartments of the fatherly old gentleman bespoke a contentment rarely found in a family where the affections of Q young wife have been transferred from the hus- band to her stepson The elder Twitchell, who had sacrificed all of his happiness to make his son happy, came to the door to receive visitor with a smile on his lips.
 We are just having a dinner to- ge,her in honor of the marriage of my former wife and my son. he said. Yes this will be a memorable Sunday for all three of us we could not be more contented if we tried. Everything has turned out as we wished it, and am glad that our home life is to be filled with sunshine after all the difficulties that we have experienced since first realized that Bertha loved my son Edward, more than she did me. I am glad I got a divorce so that my sor could wed his stepmobaer, because now we are all satisfied and I think my sacrifice to my son was worth whiie no mistake has been made in this mat ter.

THE Y4LE SPIRIT AGAIN.

The Yale spirit showed itself again Saturday night. It has been compara- lively quiescent since it got itself sen tenced to ten days in jail, but it made up for it's quiescence when 1t did break out. It will be mildly Interesting to again follow its manifestations as it wends it's devious way through and out of the labyrinth of the law. Of course we shall see and hear the same old per- fornance, the same old parade of in iured innocence and misunderstood boy ish enthusiasm. No mention will be made of the influence of rum on the Yale spirit, except by the vulgar, and they will be again reminded that it is natural and proper for well-endowed and we'll trained young men to drink rum now and then. And so forth and so on.
 Perhaps New Haven will sometime get big enough to realize that brutal breaches of the peace caused by the Yale spirit are not essentially different from brutal breaches of the peace caused by the gang spirit, or any other spirit that happens to feel like making itself noticed in that way, When that time comes the Yale spirit will not seem heroic, or even especially inter- esting, when it appears in the City noIIrt

PRISONS NOT REFORMATIVE.
 None but novice will maintain that punishment reforms. To reform must mean to change the inward feeling" the real nature of the victim; the laws of physics and of human nature alike prove that this cannot be done by cruelty, by brutality and by degrada- tion Of course, no one would assert tions can believe that the humiliation, degradation and brutality incident to all such establishments, the constant association with the hopeless and abandoned, can soften the heart or re- make for better the nature of the man or woman. Only q very few can sur vive an extended prison sentence and emerge other than a complete moral wreck. Not only is the killing of the brute or savage the more efficient but it is the more msreiful as well.
 The theory of punishment an reform is utterly inconsistent. Punishment means penalty for an act. Reform means treatment, as for disease. If reform is the purpose, then the more malignant the disease the more tender, patient and careful should be the treat ment. Nor should any part of the treat ment be humiliation, degradation, or mental or physical pain. The stripes, the silence, the hard work, the number substituted for the name, the fixed term regardless of cure-all these have no relation to reform, and were never meant for reform, but are punitory and nothing more. The theory of reform only adds hypocrisy to the bitter and heavy crime of cruelty that rests upon civilization for the prisons of the world. Clarence s. Dafrow, in The Culturist.

water occur in the Pacific Ocean and about the West Indies Is well known. It is conceivable that these springs might be utilized for the supply of steamships in places where the local supply is either defective or unwhole- some. A singular instance of the usage of such springs is recorded in one of the Hawaiian Islands. At tue east end of Maui, in Hana, there was a fort ress named Kaimuke, occupied by warriors in ancient times. As it was almost an island, communication with the mainland was not feasible in the time of a siege, end for lack of water it could not have been held except for the presence of submarine springs. The natives would dive down to collect fresh water in their calabashes which supplied all the wants of the garrison. -Dundes Advertiser.
