Dare to Be Happy.

Let us never be afraid OF innocent
10Y; God is good and what he does is
we'll done; resign yourself to every
thing. even to happiness; ask for the
spirit of sacrifice, of detachment. of re-
nunciation, and above all, for the spirit
of joy and gratitude, that genuine and
religious optimism which sees in GOD
a Father, and asks no pardon for MS
benefits. We must dare to be happy
and dare to confess it, regarding our
selves always as the repositories, not
as the authors of our own JOY

From California to Japan.

There is something almost weird IN
the thought that two men can exchange
messages through the air between Cali
fornia and Japan, notwithstanding the
fact that 5000 miles intervene. The
marvel has, however, been accomplished,
for greetings have been exchanged be-
tween an operator at San Francisco and
another operator in Joi station, on the
Island of Hokushu, the most northerly
wireless station in Japan.
A little more than ten years ago, Mar
conf was experimenting with an instru-
ment which was apparently able to COM
municate electric signals without the aid
of a connecting wire When he had
succeeded in talking over three miles OF
space, the world accepted, with some
hesitation, the possibility of the inven-
ton To-day America and Europe
communicate frequently by means ot
wireless telegraphy, and last November
the Pacific Coast was in communication
with the steamship Korea over 4ooc
miles away.
1t is not strange, therefore, that The
operator in San Francisco talks with hi:
fellow-worker in Japan. 1t will be only
matter of time before distance now
apparently incredible will be encom,
passed bv the wireless instrument Per,
haps, indeed, a message may vibrat'
around the entire world The imagina.
ton may run riot in the possibilitie:

Conditions at the Asylum.

The report of Supt Zinkham, Of
the Washington Asylum, printed in
The Washington Herald yesterday
morning, calls attention to conditions
which ought to be remedied at the
earliest possible moment. The buildings
are old and diIapidaied, and some OF
them are beyond the possibility Of re-
pair. The institution is greatly over
crowded, and it is impossible to care
properly for the patients.
The asylum. so called, belongs to a
past era 1t is the outgrowth of early
municipal conditions, when the work
house and the hospital for indigents
were altogether in one reservation.
Some attempt has been made to develop
the institution by the addition of d
psychopathic ward, but even in this sec
ton of the hospital. according to the
physician in charge, the white and the
colored, the sane and the insane, the
drunk and the sober, the young and the
old, are all placed together" There
ought to be a children's ward, and
there ought to be sufficient room to
segregate the different classes admitted.
The only solution of the problem is
a municipal hospital This would have
been constructed long ago if it had not
been that a most elaborate scheme was
proposed, costing some 100000, an
amount which caused Congress to dis
card it altogether and substitute the
tuberculosis Hospital, in Georgia ave-
nue. The time will come, however,
when the city must have hospital ad-
vantageously situated. fully equipped
and properly maintained, where the
worthy INDECENT sick can be received
and treated. The present institution is
a disgrace to the National Capital-not
through the fault of administration, but
simply because it has suffered through
lack of sufficient funds to place it upon
a satisfactory basis. The District Com
missioners will be fully sustained in
making an emphatic appeal to Congress
in line with the recommendations of the
superintendent.

Is one that calls for tact and discretion

Empress a great deal OF annoyance.
The new private secretary is from

The founder Of the family was citizep
of Lorraine, Charles Hyacinthe Hugo,
who, In 1876, welded Anna fHuillier de

secretary served as chamberlain to King
Wilhelm I Of Wurttemberg. His father
was that country's minister and federal
delegate in Berlin. This gentleman first
met Bismarck when the latter was sta
toned as the ambassador Of Prussia at
St. Petersburg, and their intimacy was
renewed when vom SpitZemberg, after
the formation Of the new empire. was
transferred to Berlin. There was hard
ly day when he or his wife were not

Virginia's Penitentiary.

The management of the Virginia PEN
itentiary is confronting an investiga-
ton which, if the charges of DR.. Charles
V. Darlington can be sustained, will, in
the opinion of the Norfolk Landmark,
unmask one of the ugliest scandals in
the history of the State DR.. Caring
ton, who has Just been superseded after
twelve years of faithful service. attrib-
utes his removal to a boot and shoe
company which utilizes convict labor
for the manufacture of the articles
which it sells.
According to his statement, this COM
pany prevents the release of convicts
who prove themselves to be good work
men. He sums up the situation in the
following emphatic words:
The convict must have to his credit
two years of good conduct and have
can apply for parole. And as that
anxious time approaches and the poor
devil is almost counting the hours, some
walking irregularly in the line of march,
hat awry, or alleged bad work. will be
charged against him, punishment fol-
lows, and all hope for parole is lost for
two years.
People on the outside don't realize
the terrible results of such hellish
methods uncurbed."
1t goes without saying that if this
condition exists, it is a blot upon the
fair name of Virginia. 1t is equally
true that if an inquiry shall prove the
truth of the charge, the people Of Vir-
ginia will instantly take action which
will not only rebuke and punish those
who are responsible, but will make such
action impossible in the future.
Even a convict is entitled to Just and
humane treatment. If cold-blooded in
terests can traffic in human liberty ir
the fashion alleged, the sooner convict
labor is abolished the better it will be
for the entire community.

Exorbitant Tolls.

Shenandoah Valley is one of the most
picturesque and fertile regions within
a comparatively short distance Of Wash
ington. Beginning at Harpers Ferry, it
runs through Winchester to Staunton,
fanked by the beautiful Blue Ridge
Mountains, and with the intervening
country dotted with attractive farms.
1t has always been a favorite highway,
and since the advent of the automo-
bile has been a much travelled road.
The hotels in the various towns have
benefited through largely increased pa
p tronage, and in other ways the pros
perity of the region has been materially
assisted.
Notwithstanding this, on the Ist OF
October the toll on the turnpike between
Winchester and Staunton was raised
for automobiles from IS cents a gate
to IS cents a gate. There are nearly
twenty gates between the two points,
and the trip for an auto car will cost
S.. No wonder that this exorbitant
charge is driving travel away.
1t is pleasing to record that the news
papers of the section are protesting Wig
orously against this imposition. The
Staunton Daily Leader appeals to the
people of the Valley to go before the
legislature and show that the increase
is highly prejudicisl to their interests.
The Richmond Evening Journal says
that the incident demonstrates the evil
of the toll system, and asserts that the
State could better afford to build an
other hrst-class pike than to mulct .vis-
itors who use the only passable road
now existent running north and south
