lNSwITZERLAND, In some places, convicts are i'm
prisoned without guards and there have been no
capes and only two attempts at escapes in twenty
years. The inmates are allowed to leave the prison
and obtain employment. They pay the government
for their food, lodging and laundry and must return
to the bastile ata certain hour each day. In this
way they of no expense and are segregated from
society only after working hours. The married men
are thus enabled to support their families and the
single men are enabled to contribute to those de-
pendent upon them. Prison reform is making great
strides forward.

"THE MAN BEHIND" is not dangerous to the

for the benefit of the behind. The trouble with
the in front is that once in whieh he becomes too

recently advanced from position paying him sew

Fl Ballad Of Wotnan.

>W>>
She bore us in her dreaming womb,
And laughed into the face of Death:
She laughed, in her strange agony--
TO give her little baby breath.
Then, by some holy mystery,
She fed us from her sacred breast,
Soothed us with little birdlike words
70 rest-to rest-to rest-tO rest:
Yea, softly fed us with her life
Her bosom like the world in May:
Can it be true that men, thus fed
Feed woman-as hear them say?
[ wonder If such men as these
Had once sister with blue eyes.
Kind as the soothing hand of God,
And as the quiet heaven, wise.
[ wonder, when all friends had gone
The gay companions, the brave men
If in some fragile girl they found
Their only stay and comrade then.
Shall she who bore the son of God,
And made the rose of Sappho's song,
She who saved France, and beat the drum
Of freedom, bear this vulgar wrong?
Have no part in the world she made
Serf OF the rainbow, vassal flower
Save knitting in the afternoon,
And rocking cradles, hour by hour!

UNDER THE LASH.
BY ANGLlCUS.


AN OLD FAMILIAR POEM is fruit
full -begetter Of memories. But a
song, long forgotten AMI suddenly
remembered, is m N DRY itself.
They are not, as rule, master
works, these songs of ours; which
may be because the best songs are
never entirely out of mind, bat is
more probably because the appeal
of your Schubert is not to tho heart
alone. There is, it seems to me,
an argument for mysticism in the
stab of long-sheathed sword OF
melody; it is as if on the singer
there breathed airs of a vanished
past, as if through one came the
cry Of another. Whether the per-
Torrance is good matters not, if
once the memory of that other sing
er be stirred. If death be night
leading to more perfect dawn, it
would be not the least Of the after
delights to regain. one by one,
snatches and chords of these most
hallowed of anthems. At any rate
[ for one should much prefer them
to the latest thing in harp con-
certos.
WHEN JAMES A. PATTEN visited
the Manchester Cotton Exchange,
they jostled him and drove him
out. And the English papers, by
way of comment, laughed. Yet Mr..
Patten is churchgoer, and, accord
ing to one of his friends as report.

of Americas purest men, Life
claims to be, with one exception,
the only free and independent jour
nal in this country" Mr.. Patten's
friend, similarly, should allowroom
for some exception. The public
towards man who cor
ners necessities is distinctly hostile.
There is an impression that the
formation of corner bears the
same relation to ordinary specula-
ton that monopoly bears to trade.
There is this difference: In the
present state of society, a monopo-
ly is as safe as a church while very
few men have cornered the supply
of an important commodity and
come out on top Just as in Nor
ris' Pit, the new supply breaks the
corner in wheat. so are all such at
tempts destined to fail ultimately.
Monopolies are not in any danger,
SO long as they keep prices within
reach. 1t was the injudicious in
fation of prices that spoilt Mr..
Morse's operations in ice, and it is
to the fact that gallon of kerosene
is still purchasable that the Stand
ard Oilowes its continued existence.
The check of public opinion on
prices is, at times, the only check
left, but it may be that it is suff-
cient. The prophets of revolu-
ton in this country do not seem
to realize that most countries are
governed by compromise between
the HAYES and t h Have-Nots.
When the screw gets too tight, the
Have-Nots screech-and the HAYES
let loose a turn or two. The men
in power today are so much wiser
(for their own ends) than the men
in power in the Dark Ages that
they know we'll when to bend. The
gentle art of bending it is that
keeps them on our backs, and makes
the Socialists task so difficult.
Compared with a baron of the old
style, captain of industry is a

The VICAR OF WAKEFIELD is one
of those books which everybody
praises and nobody reads. In spite
of the fact that Goldsmith's Eng
lish is admittedly unsurpassed,
there is about the devil-may. care
lrishman, who spent his life among
duns, a strange suggestion of dull
ness. Mention Swift, and a lurid
picture is conjured up of superhu-
man wit and superhuman despair.
Yet Swift's life, from deanery to-
madhouse, held no such vicissi-
tudes as Goldsmith The author

The wit of Goldsmith's two come
dies does not sparkle with the bril-
liancy of The Way of the World
or of The School for Scandal, but
the characters are human. A COM
parison of Mr.. Hardcastle with Sir
Oliver Surface is instructive; both
of them are irascible old gentle
men, but while Sir Oliver seems to
belong to a different order of So
ciety, Mr.. Hardcastle is man to
be met in most lifetimes. Just as
Goldsmith's plays form this con-
nection, his novel connects Field
ing and Defoe with Thackeray and
his poems connect the artificial
verse which eliminated in Pope

OFFICERS FINED IN VARYING SUMS
 BY COURT
Less Than Maximum As sessed by Reason of Ey-
 tenuating Conditions

City Marshal Anderson, who pleaded guilty in court to charge of official neglect of duty, was fined $200 by Judge Lewis yesterday morning. Deputy Mar shals R. J. Edwards and w. A. Ander- son and Deputy Sheriff J. NJ. Swearin- ger were fined $50 each. The fines were paid.
 That the defendants were assessed fines less than the maximum amount prescribed by law was due to the fact that they had apparently committed only. technical violation of the law, as they had been instructed by the city council not to enforce the terri torial anti gambling law but to leave the enforcement of this law to the county officials.
 Attorney Norman J. Johnson address ed the court in regard to this matter, stating that he did so not to justify their commissions but to vindicate them in the eyes of the people.
 In passing sentence Judge Lewis stated that he fully understood the sit uation and it was not his intention to punish the officials for willfuI neglect of duty. He pointed out the fact, how ever, that it was the duty of the off, cers to enforce the territorial laws as we'll as the city ordinances. Smaller fines in the cases of the deputy mar shals were apparently imposed by reason of the fact that they were working un- der instructions from Anderson. Swear inger was also given light fine by req son of the fact that he was appointed deputy sheriff for the Warrior pre- cinct and did not consider that he had jurisdiction in this city.
 Demurrers were overruled in all of the gambling cases and pleas of not guilty entered. The cases were set for trial on May.l6.

Announcement of Increased Dividend Has Little Elf
 feet on Prices
BANK OF ENGLAND
 HOLDS HIGH RATE
Copper Metal Steady, Good Market Being Reported
 By Local Dealers

NEW YORK, May l2.-Confdence in the existing level of prices of stocks was not well maintained in the dealings today. The growing apathy of the de- mand begot distrust and prompted some reduction of holdings. The response to the news of the increased dividend rate on Brooklyn Transit was Illustrative of the general tendency. The stock rose momentarily to Sl and then sold off. This compares with a high price of S2 in April and high price of S2 7.S in June of last year in anticipation of the inauguration of dividends at the rate of 4 per cent.
 Positive predictions of coming in- crease in the Chesapeake X Ohio divi- dend were used with as little effect in inducing demand for that stock Rf- mors industriously circulated of the consummation of control of the Wabash by the Rock Island failed to bring about higher prices. One of the day s disappointments was the retention of the Bank of England's s official discount rate of per cent.
 The strength of Pennsylvania stood out as a prominent exception to the general heaviness of the market and was of some effect finally in overcoming that heaviness.
 Bonds were steady; total sales, par value, $l,S9l ,000 United States bonds were unchanged, on call.

'tIt's peculiar thing" said the headquarters detective, "that with the increase in popularity of cheap watches the number of reports which we have re ceivcd of watches stolen by pickpockets has diminished greatly. No first class pickpocket tries for watches any more. The same skill is required to get away with dollar watch as a hundred dollar one.

Report Received on Old Do- minion Right of Way
 Other Matters

The opening of the alley between Broad and Pine streets, from Mesquite to Bailey was formally ordered at last night s session of the council.
 A number of the property owners af fected have agreed to dedicate portions of their property for the alley, but it is understood that two property owners will contest the matter.
 If these property owners refuse to devote their property, condemnation proceedings will be commenced in court.
 This alley is considered to be of con siderable value to the city, particularly in case of fire, and to the public gen orally, and number of attempts have been made in the past to open it to the public.
 Water for Sprinkling
 For the purpose of securing water for street sprinkling purposes, the coun- cil is planning to pump water from a well of the Merchants lee company at the old ice plant.
 This plant has been shut down for the past few days and as the result, R. G. Goodwin, who handles the sprink- ling contract, is unable to secure water. The present plan is to secure steam from the gas plant to operate small pump at the ice plant.
 Water can be secured free from the ice company and if steam can be secured at a reasonable rate, the plan will be adopted, to be continued until more water is secured by the city water de- partment.
