Pleasures of the Penitentiary.
Cleveland Plain Dealer

From the cleveland l'taln Dealer.
81 gave such a talk to a client OF mins
not long ago on the pleasant features Of
prison life" said prominent local attor-
ney recently, that l actually got to think
ing for a little while 1t would be a great
lark to spend a few weeks in some good
penitentiary.
You see, the fellow was guilty and I
knew it. l didn't see how 1t would be pos
sible to clear him. and knew he would get
a lighter sentence by pleading guilty. But
I had job trying to talk HIM into chang
ing his plea to guilty. He said he didn't
think he would ever get reconciled To life in
the penitentiary.
Il told him that of course there
certain amount of prejudice against living
in a penitentiary. but that il always struck
me that ii wouldn't be half bad if man
went with his mind made up to like il.
The regular hours ought to be great
thing for a man. l told him. and II you
are at all slick you can fix up some scheme
to get out of hard work Then you are
clear out of the prosaic business affairs or
the outer world. You go to bed at night
knowing just what you will have Ia do inc
next day, and no one can get in where You
are to modest you. You won't get more
than couple OF years, and that Will Just
give you time to learn some good trade
When 1 got through he decided to plead
guilty and believe he was really looking
forward to . year or two In the pen

RAZOR GRINDERS TEsTY.
Their Work Is Trying and Dangerous
and It Gets on Their Nerves.

From the Kansas City Star.
The brawny arms of blacksmiths and the
Ill tempers of cooks are matters Of COM
mon knowledge, but the man who grinds
razors has stronger arm than the black
smith and a worse temper than the cook.
All day he stands bearing his full strength
against q razor held on a wheel which is
whirling at the. rate Of several thousand
revolutions a minute. He develops a grip
work is dangerous A slip Of a fraction
Of an inch and the razor may break into
q TT, thousand pieces and fly in as many any
wor Gets hs ahe
hence the irritable temper.
In an upstairs room on lower Main
street two men are kept busy reducing
proportions demanded by shavers of this
generation. There is little of the comic
in their work. The ancient blades brought
to them are styled grandfather" razors
because practically every customer explains
that the implement was used by his grand
father, great uncle or other ancestor, and
that the metal Is of very superior quality
the kind you can't buy nowadays"
Better razors are made and sold now
than ever before" Louis Heckel said. But
1 suppose that the mental suggestion
man gets in using a razor that his an
less pain when it pulls. We have to treat
those grandfather razors with great rever
ence in the presence of the owners.
"Grinding raZors Is work at once delicate
and strenuous. The few men who have
mastered the art eccentric lot, SO
we are compelled to humor them in their
oddities. They are highly priced and hard
to find.
The room in our shop where razors are
ground has not been entered in years by
a person other than a member of the firm
or an employee The grinders will not toll
crate visitors.
1.-THE razor-grinding art is almost mo-
nopolized by Germans, There are not more
than half a dozen American grinders In
America. The grindstones used in the
work are nearly all made in France They
are a patent composition that absorbs
water. This quality helps to prevent the
razors becoming too hot. As an additional
preventive a stream Of water 10 kept flow
Ing On the blades. Even then a razor is
sometimes burnt and the temper Of the
metal ruined
About fifty different sized grindstones
and leather-rimmed wheels are used in
reducing an old-fashioned ''battleax" to
hollow ground The coarser work is
done on grindstones and the finishing on
leather wheels. The various stones and
| wheels are all fitted to the same revolving
axis. dozen razors can be ground about
as cheaply as one, as the work Is done in
lots Of one dozen. In this way labor is
saved in adjusting the numerous sized
wheels and stones.

from shock and for several days was un-
able to leave the house. Her mind ap-
peared to be affected. end at times she

description Of the men was furnished
the police, but no arrests have been made.
On what ia known as the Back road"
which Is up on the hill at North Beach.
there are number OF cheap dance halls
and hotels These places are patronized
by roughs from the upper East Side Of
New York. It was from this direction that
the girl came when she appeared at the
Victoria Hotel Wednesday morning
At the Dewey Hotel, on the Back road, -
1t was said that the girl had been found
sitting on the piazza about 10 o'clock Tues
day night and ordered to move on by the
proprietor Phil G. Kich. At that time
her clothing was torn and covered with
mud, and she made incoherent replies to
questions that were asked her.
District Attorney Darrtan OF Queens
county said that he had examined a num-
Der of people regarding the affair, and
would have others before him today. He
said that owing to the fact that the girl
was unable to tell connected story his
hands were tied as to making any arrest
He has assigned two detectives to the case.
Detectives Hoffman and Ebbers of the
Astoria police station are also working on
the case.
There have been thirty-seven attacks on
women and children in one week in this
