STORM PARTY.

The members and friends of Mt
Zion Baptist Church gave their pas
tor, Rev. S. A. Matthews, storm
party Wednesday night The party
was in the nature of a surprise and on
the arrival of the guests, who had
marched from the church in a body,
Rev. Matthews opened the doors of his
home to the most pleasant surprise
he had experienced in many a day.
There was a valuable collection of
household furnishings, eatables and
many useful necessities. On assem-
bling at the house the merry party
began singing, Stand the storm, for
it won't be long" Alter they had
been welcomed into the family
circle and had explained their mis-
sion, the various articles were as
sorted. The pastor, who entered
good-naturedly into the spirit of the
evening, on learning that all the good
things were for him, had not words
to express his appreciation. His son,
Master Herman, in eloquent words,
spoke the sentiments of the entire
family, in thanking the members and
friends for their loving remembrance.
At the close of the evening a deli
cious ice course was served and the
friends departed carrying with them
the blessings of Rev. Mr. Matthews
and family.

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of tho World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy Of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to bs
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination OF Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir Of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is ono Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuinc-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price City cents

labor colony do not reform and rejoin
the ranks of the Industrial army. A
trained English investigator stated
recently, regarding WitzwyI, that
there is no doubt that the fact of hav.
ing worked hard for a year or IS
months makes a man apt to get into
the habit Of working, and this Is be-
lieved to be the actual result In
Switzerland.
What, then, shall we say regarding
the treatment Of vagrancy in the Uni
ted Statesf First, that at present It
is thoroughly inadequate. AS statis
tics and the accompanying diagrams
show, 67 per cent. Of the commitments
to penal institutions are to county
jails and warehouses; In which the
conditions are often exceptionally
bad. Drunkenness. vagrancy and dis
orderly conduct were responsible for
more than half the commitments dur
ing 1904 to penal institutions in the
United States. For these three Of
lenses the county tails and work
houses, to which the large majority Of
offenders are committed, offer prac
tically no reformative influences. For
more serious crimes, such as burglary.
robbery, assault, forgery, etc, there
are reformatories and state prisons, in
which latter institutions some reform
Atory influence Is felt.
THE sentences for vagrancy are In
over 80 per cent. of the cases for
six months. or less, and the largest
percentage of commitments Is shown
to be for less than one month. No
cure for vagrancy can be had under
such conditions. New York state
leads all other states of our country
in the number of it's commitments for
vagrancy. The burden of vagrancy In
the United States was represented in
1904 by over $4,000 commitments, be-
ing about 20 per cent. Of all commit
ments to penal institutions during
that year.
conditions inevitably points to thu
necessity of material change in our
system of combating vasrancy. In
this connection It Is of special inter
est that within recent months bin
has been drafted in New York state
providing for the establishment Of .
farm colony upon lines very similar
to that OF the Swiss compulsor. -ol1
ny, Witzwyl. This bill. which has ~
approval of the leading charitable 20

I'm Birmingham. Ala, $40 men In u

The inmates of jails are chiefly Of two
classes-those awaiting trial and con-
victed misdemeanants. The ordi-
nary term of convicted misdemean-
ants, Migrants and inebriates is too
short for any sort of Industrial train
ing or systematic production. A care
full study Of the situation In all parts
of the land has long ago driven many
to the conclusion that we must have
district labor colonies or warehouses;
for those convicted of offenses, and
that the term of degenerates must be
at least two years, II we really intend
to fit them for useful lives"
r HE committee plainly shows that
i under present conditions and laws
the county jail must provide for males
and females; children, youth and
adults; first offenders, habitual crimi-
nails, vagabonds, prostitutes; wit
nesses held for their testimony; poor
debtors whose crime is their poverty;
idiots, imbeciles, insane, epileptics,
persons arrested on suspicion, and
apoplectics whom the sapient police
man could not distinguish from drunk
ards. All these, says the report, are
often under one roof and management,
in building so built that cries and
whispers travel along corridor with
| cages open at the side.
I,k &c, IL, "a
average Jail for the reformation Of the
imprisoned vagrant? We may think
| that Jack London draws the long bow
in his picturesque descriptions of life
on the road, but in his tale of impris-
onment in the Erie county Jail he
never wrote of such horrifying condi-
tons as are described by the report
of the committee, Of which Prof.
Charles r. Henderson of the Univer-
sity of Chicago was chairman. What
chance, above all, has the detained
witness or suspect, held in the Jail for
his testimony, and innocent before the
| law until he Is proven guilty? What
chance has he of not suffering con-
| tamination and gaining hatred Of So
ciety that will not die? In many coun-
| ty jails the only exercise enjoyed"
by the prisoners is in common large
room, with steel grating separating it
from the surrounding corridors, and
called in Jail parlauce the bull pen"
A RE we not then in wretched d.
IA lemma, we who urge that the
vagrant receive treatment that will
deter and reform? Shall we, know
ing Jail conditions. allow him to roam
at large? But the vagrant habit IL fos
tered by idleness, mendicancy and the
absence Of prosecution. Even as It is,
the unwillingness Of many police Off.
Gals or magistrates to prosecute
tramps is well known. When the
vagrant Is told to "get out Of town or
be run. in" he of course decamps, and
the town finances are spared, while
the neighboring community receives
the shifted burden. Yet II the con-
victed vagrant is. sent to jail he be-
