Uncle Sam Builds Prison for Women

4 PRISON within a prison is being
Il built at Leavenworth, Kan. and it
will be the first exclusive federal
prison for women in the United States.
The new Jail is being built within the
walls of the United States peniten-
tiary, but it will have a wall of its
own and the inmates will be more Sc
curely shut off from the world than
the more desperate men confined in
the mems prison.
This inside prison will have room
for about 500 women. there being now
about that number in the various
state penitentiaries in the United
States, the government paying the
states for their keep. These women
have been convicted mainly of viola
tons Of the postal laws, smuggling,
counterfeiting or white Shaving.
While the women's prison will be
under control OF the warden, there
will be a woman superintendent and
under her a corps Of subordinates.
Because of being confined behind
double walls no guards will be neces-
sary. 1t will b rule that no men,
especially men prisoners, be allowed
IN the women's prison. The women
will be more completely shut out Of

some architects planned sort of Col

long ways off from being big enough
for either department and doesn't
match anything in the government,
building line in Washington. After this
structure was put up there was re
form in ideas for government build
ings, and since then they have been
along the stately, substantial line. The
finest recent examples of these are
found in the splendid white marble
buildings constructed for the house an0
senate Office buildings, which have fol-

RECTOR WHO SCORED ASTOR

Society has been forced to sit up
and take notice of the denunciatiOn
which has been hurled by Rev. George
Chalmers Richmond, rector of St.
Johns Episcopal church in Philadel-
phia, against the proposed marriage Of
John Jacob Astor, multi-millionaire,
aged At, to Miss Madeline Talmage
Force, beauty aged IS years.
The denunciation which was made
from the pulpit has been followed by
more sharp criticisms-a criticism
which has extended to others of the
smart set who marry and divorce with
the ease and nonchalance with which
they put on their coats.
Mr.. Aston, it may be recalled, was
divorced from his wife, who was a
Miss Willing, of Philadelphia, and 1t

would recommend the Concord,
the Worden, the Clinton, Moore's
Early and the Delaware. There are
other good grapes but some of them
are too tender for that climate. OF
course the rigors of winter may be sur
mounted by doing your pruning late
in the fall and then covering the vines
with earth during the winter. Even
with that treatment, the tender
grapes that are grown in the tropical
and semi tropical climates will be
failure. Our hardy grapes are deriv-
ed from what are called by botanists
the Wits Labrusca, or Northern Fox
grape. Gray says that this species is
the parent of the Concord, Hartford
and most of our American table and

are classed as coming under the head
of Wits Vinifera and are too tender
for our northern climates. AS

TO KILL CURRANT WORMS.
F. W. Robins, Allyn, WASH, April

"Will you kindly tell me what to do

What are known as currant worms
are a hard thing to get rid of. If we

worms, but poison the currants. The
poison most commonly recommended
