The temporary loss of an important
paper once cost this country nearly,
$20,000,000. This was In connection
with the famous Alabama incident in
the American Civil war.
The vessel was quietly constructed
at Birkenhead, and launched ON May
10, 1852. Then, and not till then,
suspicion of its true character was
aroused, and case was prepared for
the law officers opinion. But the mes
senger entrusted with the papers put
them in the wrong letter box Two
days passed before the mistake was
learned and when orders were tele-
graphed to stop the vessel the Ala

WHEN NQUISInON
HELD SWAY nj PRISON

When William Gar rard, former
superintendent of the Carson Mint,
took possession of the State Prison.
as the duly elected warden, in
1881, succeeding General Z. C.
Batterman "a MARITIME and hero
OF Thousand dress parades) he
found over thirty prisoners carry
ing balls and chains about half of
whom were carrying only chainsy
without balls attached, says the
Carson Appeal.
A chain is made of heavy iron
links, about two feet long rivited
to the ankles, and ball and chain
of about ten feet in length which
chain is rivited to the short chain.
Mr.. Garrard also found stocks"
hanging and ready for use in the
big cell room. Stocks are pulleys an
ropes, such as are used in raising
bales of hay into barn, and were
attached to the ceiling At the lower
end they had little wristlets. which
they fastened on the wrists of the
prisoner to be punished land raised
him up until he would faint from
the effects of the torture, and low
er him to the floor and keep him
there until he recovered conscious;
ness. and then raise him again, and
then put him in the dungeon and
feed him on cornbread and water.
A young man named Daniel
Mantheny, was thus fed for six
months Mr.. Garrard also found
"big shoes" A big shoe is shoe
loaded with lead, weighing over
80 pounds, and the suspected
offender was made to wear the big
shoe and walk w and down the hot
sandstone floor of the prison yard
until he fell from exhaustion.
Mr.. Garrard also found the
straight jacket" in common use
as means of punishment, and
this was used for the lighter
offenses and infringement of rules.
The straight jacket" is made of
strong leather gloves, about as long
as fashionable ladies gloves, and
4 when both hands are fastened to-
gether. prevent the victim from
useing his hands, and when long
kept on create circulating pain.
Mr.. Garrard also found other i'm
plements and contrivances Of
punishment for slight offenses, and
found the food provided wretched-
ly cooked and served. but the
place kept scrupulously clean.
The first thing that Mr.. Garrafd
did was to take down the stocks,
and throw them into the black
smith shop where they would not
be seen, and small ray of sunlight
seemed to pervade the big dining
room, where about 140 prisoners
had their meals, and it reached the
cells and dungeons. Then he had
the big shoe sent to the blacksmith
shop as junk, and more sunlight
penetrated. Then he Investigated
the cases of all prisoners wearing
balls and had them taken off and
sent to tne blacksmith shop, and
then Immediately followed Christ
ian-like looking countenances in
the place Of MISUNDERSTANDING
frowns and thereafter the prisoners
looked solely to the board If
pardons for their freedom, and
]. Mr.. Garrard had no trouble with
his wards, and no concentrated
effort to escape was ever made or
attempted to be made during his
administration.

Thos. Darlington Macaulay:

Another Motor Fire Engine.

Another auto fire engine has been added
to the Washington fire department, and
another step has been taken toward the
displacement of the brave. kind. faithful
fire horse. Sentiment may delay prog
ress, but 1t cannot block it. The auto
fire engine running and pumping is su-
perior to the horse-drawn steamer. In
dependent of the matters of first cost
and maintenance. the motor engine is
more efficient 1t will travel further get
there quicker and pump more water.
Long runs do not count much with it.
The longer the run the more its superiority
over the horse-drawn engine and hose
carriage is manifest. Its radius Of action
is much wider. In second. third or
fourth alarm fires, or when the general
alarm is sounded. more fire-fighting ap-
paratus is urgently needed. At such crit
ical times many minutes are lost by the
horse-drawn carriages. Horse time from
distant parts of the District Is slow. The
auto would be at the fire in few minutes
after the call.
1t is likely that the new fire companies
created as Washington extends will be
motor companies. and probably there will
be a gradual replacement of the horse
companies in the older city sections. New
York's fire department is rapidly being
put on a motor basis. and the extension
of the use of the auto fire engine in
American and European cities Is remark
able

Der of rowboats not carrying lights were

Is no perfunctory note in the reception.
II Is truly expressive of the good will

Americans feel on easy terms with Ger
mans. So many Americans are of Ger

such excellent Americans that the senti-
ment OF friendship between the peoples is
very strong and will grow stronger
The exchange of visits between repre-
sentatives OF peoples, with the people
taking a prominent and active part in the
ceremonies of entertainment. makes for
peace more powerfully than academic dis
cussion of the horrors of war or the vir-
tue of disarmament. Trade and travel
and the post laden with its newspapers
and its letters are the main agencies of
peace. The getting together of people is
dissolving national antipathies and preju-
dices and making rarer the resort to
arms as means of settling national

started at Manila, and a plan of exten-
sion evolved to embrace the Philippines.
A good idea demonstrated as workable

fast and far. and the playground senti-
ment is one that commends itself strong

The big drafts made on rural population

result in deterioration of the race, but
the playground has adjusted matters and
made it possible for children to be chill

altered the prospect that the next genera

work Of this government, but in the curb
stone talk had heard the name of Mr.
Roosevelt mentioned SO often he had
come to look upon him as the source and
national state and city.
If man knows nothing about the Con-
stitution. how can he swear that he is
attached to its principles? Or If he does
so swear, what is his oath but the formal
compliance with a form? What attach
ment can a man feel for an instrument
which he does not understand?
But il there are foreign born men who
become citizens in this way. there are
many native-born men who become citi-
zens automatically. so to say. who know
quite as little about the Constitu-
ton. They have heard there Is such a
charter. and that 1t is supposed to bind
us all, but of its provisions they are as
ignorant as of Sanscrit.
Let us have everything pertaining to Mr..
Oleson-his application for citizenship. his
intentions In making 1t. his change of
view II he has changed, and his present
view respecting the Constitution. He is
described as socialist. But that does
not bar him from citizenship. There are
many socialists among our citizens a
number are holding Office, and one. hav-
ing taken the oath to support the Con-
stitution of the United States, sits as a
much respected member OF the National
House Of Representatives.
And let us hear as fully from the other
side. Judge Hanford could not have

the place and good standing at the bar.
1T is to be assumed that he is familiar
with the Constitution: and the duties of
his Office require him to pass upon mat
tiers relating to it and governed by it.

The Improved FRAY.

In days of old the chieftains went
With blades in hand on slaughter bent,
And struggled man to man,
Scarce pausing to take lunch, to see
Which of them should survive to be
The leader of the clan.
Now, as we hear the fearful din
From throats of brass and horns OF tin,
Let us observe with cheer.
Nor, as their anger they rehearse,
Suspect things could not be much worse
And quail in grievous fear.
Far more humanely than OF old,
When crimson torrents fiercely rolled,
Do champions now assert
Their might, and in the battles chance
Break many a pen, but ne'er a lance.
Now, nobody gets hurt.
