Well Done.

The Fire Department was fortunate
in the tender of friendship made by the
"Incog" cast Wednesday evening.
Both play and personnel drew a full
house, and both the venture and innate
were profitable to the Department and
pleasing to the audience. The cast com
prised Misses Marguerite Davis, Mary
Evans, Lillian Feldman and Grace
Shaffer, and Messrs. Charles S. Zeller,
Owen l.. Porter, Otto Hohing, Charles
RaleY, Rudolph Nickel, Thomas H.
Morgan, Thomas Ryan, Walter Nc
Luckie, and last, not least-Miss Myrtle
Williams and Master Jonathan Hau.
Each and all enacted the pretty plot in
true Thespian style, and the duet by Miss
Williams and Master Hau drew a stormy
encore. Local talent never did better,
and very many visiting companies never
did as well.

Since then ! have read The Washington
Herald constantly, with eyer-increasing
appreciation OF its merits as a clean,
reliable newspaper.
In the last two issues. however, 1 have
noticed that you are in error In suppos-

termined the question Of prohibition in
the State OF Florida. The local option
law Of Florida rs a part of the constitu-

Of the people; II requires three-ffths OF
both houses Of the Legislature TO submit

upon. and the governor has nothing 10 90
with IL.
The issue was only incidentally brought
into the gubernatorial race. and many Of
our most ardent prohibitionists voted for
the successful candidate. The real issue
was with the members Of the Legislature
and ! am advised from reliable sources
that n substantial majority In favor Of
prohibition has been elected, and that the
proposed amendment 10 the constitution
will undoubtedly be submitted to the peO-

here IL is the male only that flies; the
wingless female. seldom seen. a glow

eggs are also.
The causes which produce light have
been the subject OF much discussion
among naturalists. Some say it is
caused by respiration. others circulation.
and some lay stress on the influence
Of the nervous system The most recent
writer's agree that the luminous tissue
is made up OF fat globules. permeated
by numerous trachea conveying air. with
no traces Of nerves or blood vessels.
However. they all agree that there Is
no heat accompanying this light.
Some fireflies give forth a steady light,
and Mexicans call them concojus.
The Indians travel in the night with
irefies fastened 70 their hands and feet

decorative purposes.

Luke T. Wright an ex-Confederate cap

Prevention of Crime.

Editor The Washington Herald:
beg leave TO call your attention to the
paragraph below, which paragraph, or
some similar one, 1 would like to see in
cOrporattd into the platform of the Dem
Ocratic national convention at Denver:
Whereas crime has been increasing.
especially among the young. and this in
the midst Of great advances In civillza-
ton; and whereas for a number Of years
numerous learned societies OF medicine,
law, science. and religion. representing
more than 100000 leading professional men
from all parts OF our country, have been
recommending to Congress scientific and
professional study of crime, with a view
to lessoning or preventing It; we, there
fore. favor legislation 10 establish labora-
tories under Federal. State. and city con-
troll for the thorough investigation Of the
causes Of crime. which is the greatest.
most constant. and most costly enemy Of
all forms Of government"
Since crime thus involves the whole
country TO an enormous extent, and also
costs more than one-half Of the govern
ments total expenses. 1t is an important
matter for a platform. We have become
so accustomed 10 hearing of crime as TO
be unconscious Of its real extent and
enormity; and when realizing IL. to err
roneously assume its increase unavoid-
able. The scope of the paragraph in
clUdes all methods of reform. and In ad-
dition. seeks through knowledge gained
by scientific study 20 protect the young
In advance before they have gone wrong.
and not after they have fallen and become
tainted. which is the great defect OF all
schemes OF reform
The plan of work indicated has been
favored by Mr.. Bryan in connection with
an effort 20 have the State Of Nebraska
take up the work. and also was recon-
mended 10 Congress by President Roose
velt in letters 70 the Senate and House
Committees on the Judiciary. at the sug-
gestion Of members OF the American
Bar Association, who called upon him in
connection with bin to establish a labor
tory for the study Of the criminal
pauper and defective classes.
