FONDNEss FOR JAILs.

Worcester, Mass. Gazette.
A strange fault has been found
with Irish jails. The General Prisons
Board reports that the institutions
have become so comfortable and at
tractive that short sentences, far from
having a reformatory effect, seem 20
prompt the person once in prison to
get back to the domicile as soon as
he can. These short sentence prison.
ers are not in long enough to receive
the value of any real reform and
are out just long enough to keep
themselves confirmed in their vicious
habits. So It happens that the Board
has recommended longer sentences
for two reasons, one that some real
reform may be inculcated and tho
other that Jail may be made so tedi-
Gus that culprits will be less ready
to seek the institution as a haven Of
snug refuge and ease for a time.
The board makes the recommenda-
tion that prisoners of education be
given instruction and a chance TO
study and that others be taught such
things as will tend to increase their
usefulness and earning capicity in
the world. A plan is also recon-
mended whereby superintendents OF
prisons Shall keep in communication
with employees to the end that when
prisoners are discharged they may be
given work as soon as possible.
These recommendations are sensible
and humanitarian. Society owes that
group of unfortunates prone to crime
which sends them to Jail such consid-
Grafton as will help them to get on in
the world.
The habit of work is a fine one tC
be taught, and once acquired 1t will
help to toughen the moral fibre. Jails
should be sanitary and comfortable
though not too comfortable. But per
haps the best method to make prisons
not over attractive is to insist upor
hard work from all able inmates anC
lot of it. Jails ought not to breed
for themselves any Overweening fond
ness on the part of prisoners.

MOTHER WAS WISE
Built Up Boys Strength Instead OF
Giving Cough Syrup.

Giving Cough Syrup.
A lingering cough is a sure sign Of
weakness in a child. and the sensible
thing is to build up the system. Then
the cough will disappear.
But if the child has no appetite,
then it needs Vinol. which has not
a particle of the nasty. greasy smell
and taste that make children hate
cod liver oil. Vinol is so pleasant
they like to take it and it builds them
up wonderfully
Mrs. r. Inza of New York city,
says: MY little boy had a very bad
cough for two months. | did not
like to give him cough syrups for
many of them are not good for chill
dren. But l did give him your de-
licious cod liver and iron remedy
Vinol and one bottle caused his cough
to disappear entirely and restored
him to health"
We guarantee that Vinol will build
up and strengthen weak, pale chill
dren and all rundown persons of
every age. If it does not do all We
claim we give back your money. N.

ONE SOCIALIST PARTY.


Editor of THE EVENING JOURNAL.

at an editorial entitled Socialists

substantial gains in that city. The

It Is useless to try and resurrect it,,

THE RAID THAT FAILED
Hotel CLERK Held Up at Point Of
Revolver.

New York. Feb. 17-With the aid
of a big revolver and the cooperation
of pals in a waiting automobile, a
masked bandit yesterday attempted to
hold up the clerk of the Hotel Fred
erick in West Fifty-sixth street, just
off Broadway, below Central Park.
The attempt failed because Robert G
Barnard the clerk, grappled with the
bandit after the latter had fired one
shot and wounded Barnard In the
hand and because the robbers revolt
yer twice missed fire when he tried
to follow up his first shot by two
more at close range.
The bandit and his companions got
away in the automobile without hav-
ing gotten anywhere within reaching
distance OF $500 in cash which had
Just been placed In the hotel safe.
Barnard had just finished figuring
up the nights receipts in the office at
the end of long corridor, when a
well dressed man wearing black
mask quietly walked up to the desk.
In his right hand was forty-four-
calibre revolver. AS Barnard looked
up and saw the revolver the man
whispered; Hold up your hands or
I'm blow your head Off" Dazed for a
few seconds, Barnard did not move
and then the man said: Il want all
the money you've got"
Barnard for some time has been
studying hypnotism, and as he start
ed to raise his hands he thought he
might hypnotic the man. He ex
tended his right hand toward the
bandit, but the latter was not to BIZ
lhypnotized and he fired. The bulle
grazed Barnard's hand and made al
ugly wound
! Barnard and the two bellboys wh'
heard the shot jumped for the bandit
who pulled the trigger Of his revolye
twice, but the shells failed to ex
plode. Before the trio could get
good hold on him the robber raj
through the corridor and out int
Ffty-sixth street. There he jumped
into waiting automobile. and tn
machine darted away at top speed

ed by the shots locked to the corr
dor in panic, which the hotel mar
agement and police were some tim
in allaying. There is no clew to tn

TRUCK FARMER LEFT MILLION
One Son Of John Lahey Gets Estate
Adjoining w. X. Vanderbilt.

The will of John Lahey, who came
to this country penniless in 1866 and
amassed a fortune of million dol
lars as a truck farmer and land own
er at Flatlands, l.. l., was filed in Sur
rogate Grahams court at Mineola
yesterday. Although no charities are
mentioned in the will, II is said the
testator provided for many institu-
lions before his death.
Lahey had ten children by his first
and eleven by his second wife, but
only nine are living. The will
leaves all the property in trust for
the children and when the children
of the first wife die, the trust Of
which they have been beneflciaries is
to be divided equally among the chill
dren of the second wife, who receive
all the residuary estate. One son,
John Lahey, who alone remained with
the father, receives his estate OF
about 100 acres at Lakeville, adjoin'
ing the property OF w. X. Vanderbilt
who has frequently tried TO purchase
the land. A. daughter, Mrs. Aims
Stated OF Floral Park, also receives
her share OF the estate outright.
