WOMEN INMATES or JAIL.
Dealt With TactfulIy, They Are Not
Particularly UnrulY.


Particularly Unruiy.
Women in prison are often restless
and e&citable, and their charge is far
from an easy one to those to whom
the duty is confided New rules and
different treatment have brought about
great Improvement In these re-
spects and an infraction of prison
disciples Is now infinitely more rare
chan ii was 80 years ago.
1t is, to be snre. a recognized fact
that the women give more trouble
than the men. yet under a wise and
efficacous system they can be Just as
easily disciplined The means EN-
ployed are of necessity different, but
the same general principles determine
the control of both sexes.
1t is a fallacy to suppose that wom-
en- cannot be subjected to order ard
discipline, On the contrary. they fall
into habits of cleanliness and neatness
much more rapidly than do the men,
and by tact and patience they can be
induced TO conform to prodent and
wholesome regulations. There are al
ways, Of course, certain ''irreconcil-
ables," who rebel against control Of
any kind Much OF the deliberate
misbehayior of such prisoners pro-
ceeds from the vanity and the desire
TO win notoriety. Even in the motley
company that assemblies in prison
yard they want to pose as 'heroines."

The Montana CoaI,ieIds.

The existence OF coal and Ignite de-
posits in Montana has been known for
some time. but their development and
utility are of quite recent date. In
1880 only 224 short tons of coal, val.
ued at $3.50, were reported TO have
been dug from Montana mines, while
in 1906 over 100000 tons. valued at
something over $4,000. 900, were placed
on the market. besides many thou
sands of tons that were used for local
and domestic purposes There are
now about 80 operators in the state,
both large and small. and others are

Suffrauists' PLANT.

The work of women has never been

RALLY WAS BRIEF
\ Stock Market and Liquidation
Selling Followed With General
Downward Tendency in
Prices.

4 New York. Aug. 23.--After rallying
fractionally this morning the mar
ket became dull and remained 50
until about an hour before the close
when selling was noted and it was
impossible at first to determine
i whether 1t was short selling or liqui
\ lation started again on various ri,
mors questioning the financial str
bility of certain parties. The general
conclusion seemed to be that this sell
| ing was short selling and that it UNI
earthed liquidation; and if one will
| take the loss in cash Of some -four
million by the banks to the interior
and subtreasury, and the advance in
our grain markets, as legitimate bear
arguments, you won't have to 20
around the street looking for rumors.
The market towards the close showed
net losses between close and close of
3h points in Reading, and generally
speaking the losses footed UP a point
with quite a number two points.
Southern Railway ends up the year by
paying a net total of per cent on it's
preferred stocks, and this deduction
of one per cent in the dividends is
accompanied by statement from the
directors to the effect that they think
they have been passing through con
ditions that are both extraordinary
and temporary. If their latter con
clusion is correct it will certainly
ease the minds of many investors be-
cause the banking interests affili-
ated with the Southern are not only
extremely well informed, but are sup
posed to have intellectual horizon that
is about as free as any large inter

the rumor came that the Chicago &

control of the Glover Leaf We GER

hope its future will be bright should

the absence of politics and all that

POLISHING Small Articles.

II Is said that high polish may be
obtained after nickel plating on small
steel articles. such as screws. by tum.
bling them with leather and dry
rouge. The articles are placed in a

Some dry rouge is put into the barrel
