IS AN EARNEST MAN
JUDGE cLELAND, FATHER OF
CHICAGO PAROLE SYSTEM.
Municipal Court JurIst Has Horror OF
PrIsons--5eIleves Our Penal Plan
ls Mere Machine for Max
ing Criminals.

Chieago.-Municipa Judge McKen-
zie Cleland, father of Chicago's parole
system, is an earnest man. He was an
earnest boy, and he has taken life
seriously since the days when he
pitched hay on q Minnesota farm.
Nobody is altogether good and no
body is altogether bad, but most peo-
pie stand in need OF reformation.
That is the creed of Judge Cleland,
and he has made up his mind that
part OF that reforming must be done
by himself There is a strong strain
OF rugged Puritanism in the man,
which. however. is softened by q GER
tain kindness and tolerance which
was conspicuous by it's absence from
the characters of those stern old war
riors who rode the chiyalry Of Eng
land into the dust and made the new
world possible.
Judge Cleland was born with a hor-
rOr Of many things-a horror of IRE
ligiOn, a horror of intemperance, a
horror Of vice, and, above all, a hor-
ror OF prisons. He is inclined to con-
denim the whole penal system as a
mere machine for the manufacture of
criminals.
To the general public Judge Cleland
Is best known as the man who intro
duced the parole system. When he
left his private practice to sit on the
bench at Maxwell street he had be-
fore him an unequaled opportunity to
put into practice some Of the theories

.TNl NINIIE SKETCHES.
Alexander Hamilton.
By RoBERrUS Love.

"A row that the people of the Unit
mi ed States are In the throes OF
renewed discussion OF cen
tralization of power" as opposed
to local state authority it is fitting to
recall the man who in the formative
period OF our nation advocated more
urgently and persistently than any 9th.
er a strongly centralized federal gov.
eminent with correspondingly lesser
Authority for the Individual states
This man was Alexander Hamilton
He stood for theories Of government
which in the opinions OF many per.
sons of his day and this, tended to.
ward monarehical rather than repub.
lican institutions.
Hamilton 10 the constitutional con.
lvention of 1887 proposed an independ-
ent executive to hold office for life or
during good behavior, senate whose
members were to have like tenure
OF office, governors of states to be APP
pointed by the federal executive. thus
making the states essentially subor-
dlnate to the central government in a
| SCASC huNh hOic tluDbdllC ludu Oul
present constitution requires.
Yet Hamilton vigorously supported
the constitution as adopted by the cou-
vention. Ia Washington's cabinet he
became the first secretary of the treas
ury. and his services in that highly
important post were of supreme value
10 the nation. His efficient and patri-
otto work in shaping the financial poll
c1es OF the new nation gives him a Sc
cure place high among the founders of
the republic. Though for the most
part his intensely federal ideas have
mot been adopted into our national
fabric. though be distrusted the com.
mon people and believed In a govern.
ment by the aristocracy rather than by
the democracy, many of his theories
were shared and accepted by his con-
freres. Hamilton, it may be said, serv.
ed as a balance wheel in the building
OF the American machine, preventing
construction tending too far toward
pure democracy in a time when a re-
public was still an experiment
Hamilton's conception of patriotic
duty prompted him to accept the chal.
lenge OF Aaron Burr TO the fatal duel
at Weehawken. Hamilton abhOrred the
duel code OF honor, but felt that re-
fusal to meet Burr would impair bis
future usefulness TO his country.

RESPIRATORY APPARATUS.

ing through the mouth, indeed, is alb
normal and fatiguing. Again, the in
going and outgoing air currents are
kept separate. The exhaled air goes
to the Regeneration (the tin box and
thence to a pouch of impermeable
canvas inside of the bag. Oxygen is
supplied by a tube containing 300
liters 1884 pints) of the gas compress
ed and is consumed at the rate of
two liters about four pints) per min
utes during active labor and one liter
per minute in walking.
Tissots new apparatus is not great
incumbrance to the wearer. 1t weighs
only twenty-eight pounds and is car
ried on the back, over which the
weight is well distributed. The entire
suppression Of bags or other apparatus
crawl on his hands and knees, to use
a pick or other tool-in short, to do al
most any kind of hard work.
The superiority of the apparatus to
it's predecessors was strikingly demon
strated in the following experiments:
A man equipped with the Tissot appa-
ratus walked five hours without expe-
riencing any difficulty in breathing.
At the end of the experiment the In
hailed air contained only SO per cent of
carbon dioxide, and $50 liters (592
pints) of oxygen were consumed.
Finally DR.. TissOt tested the stanch-
ness of the apparatus by wearing it
himself and remaining four hours in
an atmosphere of Illuminating gas He
experienced no abnormal sensations.
The employment of this apparatus,
therefore, appears to be indicated In
mines, in CONGREGATIONS, in emptying
wells, cesspools, etc. And one point of
capital Importance deserves especial
emphasis. This apparatus makes pos
sible for the first time prolonged work
In an irrespirable atmosphere; hence it
permits extensive repairs to be made
without stopping the operation of
smelling furnaces and blast furnaces.

NEW EXPLOSIVE.
More Powerful Than Dynamite and
Safe to Handle.

More Powerful Than Dynamite and
Safe to Handle.
w. S. Pierce. a Seattle chemist, has
invented an explosive that, If It pos
sesses all the advantages credited to It.,
will put dynamite in the shade. The
invention is said TO be the most impor-
tant advance in powder manufacturing
since maximite, which is now IN lin
tied use in the British navy, says the
Seattle Times
The new explosive, according to
Pierce. can be made 30 per cent stron-
ger than what is known as GO per cent
dynamite, which is the most powerful
explosive now manufactured with the
exception of pure nitroglycerin. Its
greatest advantage. however. is the
safety with which it can be handled
In the first place, no jar or blow will
set it off. Pierce pounds the explosive
on an anvil with hammer to prove
this. Moreover. it does not freeze,
even at the temperature Of liquid air,
300 degrees below zero. This is a
great advantage not only in such coun-
tries as Alaska, but here. Du Pont
powder, which is said to be manufac-
tured by a secret process, congeals
above the freezing point Of water.
This makes it necessary, as a rule, to
thaw it out before it is fit for use, and
thousands of lives have been sacrificed
in the operation.
According to Pierce, his powder is
smokeless.- 1t leaves no poxious gases,
which have so often resulted in the
suffocation of men in the bottom of a
shaft. 1t is not poisonous and can be
swallowed without any i'll result 1t is
not subject to atmospheric changes and,
is ignited by decorating cap or an
electric spark. Unlike dynamite, when
ignited in the open air it will not ex-
plode, but simply bursts into flame 1t
can be manufactured much cheaper
than the dynamite now in use
