Reforming State Prisons.

Within ten years the elimination OF
every extraneous influence in h ad-
ministration of the state prison OF
New York together with the intro
duction of scholastic and industrial
trainin, has produced an almost COM
plete change in the interior routine.
A well-ftting gray uniform has been
substituted for the convicts former
striped suit, and the military step
has replaced the lockstep. His hair
is trimmed neatly with shears, instead
of being cut close to the scalp with
clippers. Crockery has replaced the
old tin cups and pans in the prisons
of the state. An oculist and a dentist
look after the eyes and the teeth OF
the prisoners. An electric light in
each cell has replaced the old tallow
candles. Infraction of rules in the
New York prisons today merely con-
sign the convict to solitary contine-
until he reaches a normal condI-
ton of mind and signifies his will
ingness to conform to discipline. The

and all other forms of corporal pun

Woman Who Evolved Idea of General
Memorial Day Dies.

Washington, July 23.-The woman
credited with having first expressed
the idea of a general memorial day,
Mrs. Sue Landon Vaughn, is dead,
here at the home of the Eastern Star,
a Masonic order on which she was de-
pendent. She was a descendant Of
John Adams. the second President of
the United States. On April &c, 1865.
she led some Southern women in
strewing with flowers the Confederate
graves in Vicksburg, and the date and
custom we're pe~rpetuated in the
South.
Mrs. Vaughn was of distinguished
ancestry and was the wife OF Judge
J.. III. Vaughn of San Francisco. The
earthquake there destroyed the fam
lily property, and his subsequent death
left Mrs. Vaughn without resources.
Her body will be cared for in Wash
ington by the Masonic order.

DrUnkenness Among Women.

Among the incurable drunkards of
London, that is, among persons
charged with the offense of drunken
ness who have been convicted more
than ten times. 5000 are women and
1900 are men. So there are more
than twice as many incurable women
drunkards in London as there are
men. This sounds appalling. 1t is
appalling. Add to this the fact that
in the last twenty years the deaths
of women from chronic alcoholism
or, in plain words, from drink-have
increased 145 per cent, and there is
all too evident a position of things
that may we'll shock the English peo-
pie, and cause them to look very seri-
