So Much to be Seen and Enjoyed that
 Women Most Wish.
 Remarker in Bessemer Weekly. in things worth having and doing and being and seeing. that when one pauses to take breath and decide what Is worth while. confusion benumbs the power to judge.
 For instance. the magazine! What and emharassment of riches. Fiction travel, science. politics, essays, etc al' and with 'iiiustrations that. at once catch and hold the eye. Who has the courage to stick to th at which is really IS most worth while? How maddening to read of an absorbing series of arti- cies running in some magazine one has idly passed by.
 And the books, issued in all the per lection of the bookmakers are filled with stories which appeal to the im- agination, with descriptions or essays facts which please one's common sense. None of us can read all the books is to choose among them!
 And the theatre. What bril- liant spectacles to charm the eye and make one's feet beat. merry tattoo! thought of care, What tragedy and drama to stir the deeper emotions! How can he or she with limited pocke book make choice among so much that entices.
 And so it is in the other interests of life. Outdoors, flowers, the garden, the woods. all the joys of sunshine and fresh air beckon her who stands wist- fully at window. And on the other hand home. with it's precious peace and seclusion and it's dear duties seems worth while. And with 1t all 1t must be remembered that there is work for women to do in the world friends and even though it be a small one.
 
 So much is written about the folly of the American woman's rushing through life as she does. How can she help rushing? The marvel Is that she ever has time to take breath.

MET A WRETCHED FATE
SAVED FROM DROWNING ONLY
TO BE KILLED BY TRAIN.

PITTSBURG, Pa, February 22.-Saved
from drowning after a terrible struggle
in the icy water of the Monongahela
river at Elizabeth Pa, near here, only
to be run down and killed by train on
reaching shore, was the fate last night
of J. w. Draper and F. 3. Garrett. two
government employees at Lock No. 3. c.
E. Stoner, a companion, who saved the
men from the water, was also hit by the
train, and probably fatally injured.
The men had quit work for the day
when Draper slipped from the lock into
the river. Garrett plunged into the river
after him, knowing Draper was unable to
swim. Eventually Stoner rescued both
men by the aid of boat hook. Then all
three started to walk along the Pittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston railroad tracks to
Elizabeth to get dry clothing.
The approach of fast train was not
noticed, and the men were hurled high
into the air.
The bodies of Draper and Garrett were
horribly mutilated. while Stoner's Shout

cut

The case was brought by John E. and

The Wilson's appealed to President c.

OF BENEFIT TO PRISONERS

The interest aroused by The
Stars editorial advocacy of
penitentiary for the exclusive use
of District convicts continues to
grow. One OF the strongest argu-
ments for such an institution
which has been presented is the
report of Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster,
special agent on the Department
of Justice, who found conditions
at the local Jail insulting to the
city's moral tone and 'intolerable
to the civic consciousness OF to-
day The Star presents today
the opinions of three justices of
the District Supreme Court and
the District attorney. Their opin-
ions are important. as they have
a close insight into the situation
and realize the importance of
change in present conditions.
Il think there ought to be a penitentiary
for the District of Columbia" said Jus
tice Stafford. Whether it ought to be
located in the District is another ques-
tion and one in which l am not particular
ly interested. 1t has been suggested that
a large tract of land should be pur-
chased. comprising woodland and arabic
land. and that the prisoners. at least some
of them. should be put to work upon the
land. This seems to me good susges-
ton: i do not see why a large number
should not be thus employed in prepar-
ing for the buildings that would need to
he erected. AS stated in a recent edi-
torial of The Star, a beginning ought TO
he made al this session. Congress can at
least appoint commission to look into
the matter and report.
No Place for Prisoners

the present jail is not a proper place for
the detention of prisoners under SEN
tence. They cannot be put to work and

dues for the men and a dispute arose as
to how much was due.
The amount in controversy was only
ST. but it resulted in the Wilson's being
put on the unfair list again. Then the
school board of Sparta wanted to give a
course of lectures in the auditorium and
quickly was ordered by the union not to
hire that hall. The ban later was raised
at the request of the superintendent of the
schools. However. the local undertaken
was told not to use the Wilson's teams
in hauling his hearse. The Wilson's then
secured an Injunction which is now con-
firmed.

"Unusually Obnoxious
I'm the District of Columbia the fault
in legislation is particularly and unusually
obnoxious, because, according to the
code of laws in force, If sentence is for a
term longer than one year it must be in
a penitentiary: If it is for longer than six
months and not longer than one year It
cannot be in the workhouse. but must be
in the local Jail: il is only when the SEN
tence is for not longer than six months
that the offender can be confined i'll the
WorkhouSe
'rhose sentenced to the workhOuse are
required to, and do. work and labor dur
ing the term. Those sentenced to the Jail
cannot be required to, and Go not, work
and labor. The result is that the local
courts are pOWerless to inf1ct a penalty
greater than six months for even the
most outrageous and aggravated INSIDE
meanors without stamping upon the
back of the offender certificate guaran-
teeing him immunity from work and
labor and securing his maintenance In
the Jail affords. The courts cannot impose
a penalty which carries work and labor
without minimizing the sentence to the
trivial term of six months.
IF convicts are to be confined in the
Jail at ALL then the present law is the ex-
act converse Of what it should be- If any
are to be sentenced to the Jail 1t should be
for none but the most trivial Offenses mer-
iting short terms The more aggravated
offenses should meet the workhouse for
the longer terms.

sary and there are plenty of them. Inat
they are to be desired in or are advan-
tageous to locality do not expect to
