FARM OR WOakHOUSE.

Kansas City has had one year OF
established to take the place of the
municipal workhouse. The results of
her first years trial have been more
satisfactory than the most sanguine
advocates Of the plan had dared
hope, says the st. Paul Pioneer Press
The report shows that while the
workhouse cost the city 1920 year
per prisoner, the farm has earned
800 a year profit for each prisoner
In other words the actual loss OF so
cents a day per prisoner has been
turned into a profit of 80 cents day
The financial gain, however, is the
smallest part Of the advantage. The
board of public welfare reports that
the prisoners have taken the keenest
interest in their work, have shown
no desire to escape, and that many
of them have hurried to the farms
as soon as their sentences have been
served The men who, through dis
sipation or the commission of minor
offenses, have been sentenced to
work on the farm have found the
pleasure and health that comes from
employment in the open. Men en-
ployed on the Kansas City farm have
completed their sentences with coats
of TN, instead Of the pallor that
usually marks the discharged prison
er. Their systems have been toned
up until they are capable Of doing an
honest days work and also have the
desire to do it. They have learned
that there is a moral as well as a
physical, curative in outdoor work.

LINER IRENE Is FLOATED
Steamer Is ToWed to New York by
Tugs-Not Believed She is Badly
Damaged.

New York.-The Princess Irene was
worked clear Sunday afternoon of the
sands of Fire Island and seven hours
later anchored Off Sandy Hook light
ship to await daylight before coming
to the North German Lloyd Steamship
company's piers at Hoboken.
A heavy sea, an unusually high
tide, supplemented by intelligent con-
certed effort upon the part of the
steamship officers and wrecking tug
men accomplished task that seemed
almost a miracle.
The steamship did not come to
Sandy Hook under her own steam, but
was towed by wrecking tugs. A twist
ed or warped rudder post, so far as
can be ascertained is the only damage
done to the ship. The Princess Irene
will go to Newport News, Va, where
she will go in dry dock for thorough
inspection.

PRIEST AGAIN FAINTS
WToZzI CAUSES SENSATION nv
cAMORRlSTS' TRIAL.
Judue Suspends Court-Orders Prison
err to Break His Fast With Tolks
of Six Eggs.

Viterbo. = The trial of the sc
Camorrists accused of the murder
of Gennaro Cuoccolo and his wife
came to dramatic climax when Giro
Vitozzi, the accused priest, tainted
during the bitter examination which
he was forced to face.
The hearing was suspended when
Vitozzi, weakened by a self-imposed
fast of 48 hours, which affected him
mentally as we'll as physically, fell to
the floor in a faint. He had just de-
nounced the judiciary for his alleged
persecution in prison and, as If to ex-
cite sympathy, cried out that he had
not tasted food for two days. This
statement had a contrary effect on
President Bianchi, who suspended the
sitting Immediately and sternly or
dered that Vitozzi break his fast with
the yolks of six eggs.
Vitozzi, shortly before his collapse,
said that lock of his mothers hair
which he had kept with him in his
cell had been taken away by the mag
istrates, who said it belonged to a
woman companion of the priests. He
invoked the soul of his mother to sup
port his statement.
During the fit of weeping with
which he was directly seized he col
lapsed and was carried from the court
room by his physician and the car
bineers.
Another incident that may have a
strong influence on the ultimate de-
cision of the jury was the petition of a
large number of Neapolitan citizens
that they be allowed to be heard as
witnesses at the trial Their petition
presented to President Bianchi de.
clared that they had paid blackmaii
to the Camorra for several years.
eff the prisoners are acquitted" the
petition stated, scores of Neapolitans
will have to quit the country to save
their lives and property"

So MINERS TRAPPED
MEET DEATH IN COAL COL
LIERY FIRE NEAR
THROOP, PA.
SMOKE SHUTS OFF ESCAPE
Flames Break Out in Engine House at
Foot of Shaft and Men and Boys
Are Imprisoned in Tunnel Where
They Suffocate.

Scranton, Pa.-Caught like rats in a
trap, without a moments warning, so
men and boys persisted Friday in a
coal mine fire in the Pancoast colliery
at Throop, three miles from this city.
Owing to the presence of volumes
Of smoke and deadly gases, the res
cuers were unable to recover the
bodies until several hours after the
fire broke out.
The cause of the disaster was fire
which broke out in the engine house
at the foot of the shaft An alarm
was sent to the miners and all the
men except those working In the
Dunmore vein were able to make
their way out. Heavy, thick smoke
arising from the burning engine house
was swept back into the workings
toward the tunnel where go men were
at work. They were caught behind
this heavy wall of smoke with no
means of escape left them.
AS the smoke drifted further back
into the lower vein the men are be-
lieved to have been driven back to
the end of the workings. Several
times rescue parties made efforts to
penetrate the wall of smoke close to
the engine house after the flames had
been extinguished, but the task was
too dangerous and difficult. The men
who tried to make progress through
the smoke came back choking and
with their eyes running water. The
carpenter force was hurriedly called
out and they with a small army of
volunteers started to work sending
all the available air into the lower
veins.
When the news of the disaster had
spread to the city and surrounding
boroughs the crowd at the mouth of
the shaft multiplied many times and
the Throop police found it necessary
to swear in special deputies to aid
them in keeping order. When a move
was made to clear a passage from the
shaft to the mine office there was
considerable difficulty, on account of
the determination of the crowd to
stay close to the shaft.
Rescue parties from the govern
ment relief station at Wilkesbarre
and from the Lackawanna and Lehigh
Valley Coal companies were dis
patched to the Pancoast mine and
only for the use of perfected safety
devices by these parties, the fate Of
the entombed men would not yet be
known.

a French contemporary points
out, one generally associates the cap
ital of a country with the largest
town, but in the United States this is
not 80, although the accepted idea
prevails in regard to European coun-
tries or to most of them, says the
London Globe. An exception, how
ever, must be made in regard to
Berne, the capital of the Swiss Con-
federation, the city of picturesque
gates, bears, old churches, watch
making, the seat of the federal gov
eminent, and the home of the Postal
Union, where is to be found a collec-
ton Of the stamps of the world which
may be said to be unique. Berne is
only a city of fourth-rate Importance
as regards population, with some
So, 100 inhabitants, the principal
towns of Switzerland being Zurich,
with 18S,93O souls; Bale, with 1885,
100, and Geneva, with 1875, $50. The
Scottish capital, it may be observed,
is only the second city in regard to
population.

here that young Japanese girls are
