BADGES OF

2 In deciding to abolish striped cloth
ing, the lock-step and cropped hair in
the city penitentiary, New York's Com
missioner of Charities and Corrections
is only following the example of others
in charge of such Institutions. These
signs of degradation were abolished in
the New Jersey State prison several
years ago on the ground that by lower
ing the ~self-respect of the inmates they
retard, rather than aid, in retaining
convicts to right living.
If We IA do this in our penal Insti-
tutions with good effect, how much bet
ter would be the result in the peniten-
tial? In the former the inmates are
largely the hardened criminals. In the
latter the first offenders are in the ma
jority. The stripes, the lock-step, the
cropped head are badges of criminality
that canno help but degrade the one
compelled to display them,
A few years ago, when Judge Skinner
was on the bench, he recommended
that these features be abolished in the
Essex County P~enitentiary, and that
the institution take on reformatory
features, to which these recommended
tons would contribute. Thus far the
Freeholders have lone nothing toward
carrying out these recommendations.
There is no reason why they should not
abolish these ignominious badges. There
is every reason why they should.

to her lovers doing ava with himself.
In fact, she incites him TO it. But she

To the Editor of tho Evening Star:
Kindly give me the length OF the Suez
Canal, its width when it was oesun ana
when it was completed. +. II
IA concession for the building of the
canal was granted Ferdinand de Lesseps
in 1854. Work commenced August 20, 1853,
and the canal was formally opened by yes
sells from nearly all the maritime nations
November II, 1869. Though the waterway
at that time was not in a perfect state for
the passage of vessels, it was soon after
ward rendered satisfactory. The length
of the canal is about 100 miles, of which
about sixty miles is through shallow lakes.

The value of the fire drill in times of
emergency has once more been demon
strated and the lives of seven hundred
girls in a New York candy factory are
safe, where, without the discipline of
the drill, death ore injury in a mad
panic would have been the probable re-
suit. Time after time, especially in
schools, has disaster similarly been
averted. 1t should be made a matter
of law that such drill be insisted Upon
in every institution where people are
gathered in large numbers to work or
to study. The neglect of the factory
owner or superintendent to enforce such
drill at regular and frequent intervals
should. in the event of fatal accident
resulting, be made a sufficient
for criminal prosecution.

PEOPLE OF NOTE.

DIR. william ]. Rolfe, the eminent
Shakespearean scholar and critic of Cab
bridge, Mass. has just celebrated the
eightieth anniversary of his birth. While
a teacher in Wrentham, Mass, he created
the idea of an English department in
schools and colleges, which has been uni
versally adopted throughout the country.
On the desk Of Butler Ames In the House
there stands a big ~megaphone when the
member is not present, and when he is in
his seat he puts the papier mache affair
to his ear, and not to his lips. why on
earth have you brought that thing here?"
asked a colleague. so you can make the
a little trouble hearing what is going on
here, and l wanted to make sure to hear
everything that goes on. This thing fills
the bill.'
Lillian Whiting. who passed last winter
in Rome, where she wrote Italy, the Magic
Land one of the popular holiday books,
returns to Italy again this season and after
brief sojourns in London and Paris will
locate herself in Florence, where she has
passed much time of late years, and whose
charm she has aimed to embody in her pre-
vionsly published book, called THE Flor
ence of London"
Maxim Cork, the famous Russian novel;
list and socialist, is spending what may
prove to be his last days in a little italian
village, in an endeavor to escape the raw
ages of consumption. His reception in New
York, where his companionship with a
woman to whom, according to a stringent
Russian law, he was considered not legally
married, caused his election from several
hotels, wounded him deeply.
