THE PRINCE OF WALES.


The lot of Il boy prince who is de-
stined to occupy throne is not to be
envicd.
My heart fills with pity for the young
Prince of Wales as | read of the siren
uous supervision and almost SPARTAN
life To- which he is subjected.
The lad, who is now in his eighteenth
year and who was recently proclaim l
heir To- the throne in the house of
lords, misses the joys of roughing and
romping with boys of his age and is
enforced To have the comparionship OF
adult tutors and trainers. He has
spent most OF the time I'm t1ance since
his fathers accession to the throne.
The prince is a bright scholar and
according to the Paris papers, he was
able To- speak French fuently before
he crossed the channel for home. ]

finger print in his files he need not look
through the thousands OF records on
hand. For a system has been devised Of
classifying. finger prints. This system
of perfection by Mr. Taylor, the Navy
Department expert.
The first primary divisions in the de-
signs of the ridges of the fingers will
show the principle upon which those
and simplest finger print is "the ARCH"
which is a design shaped In the manner
indicated by it's name. The second CLASH
fcation is called the tented ARCH and
is sleeper than the first. as the name sig
nifies. The third classification is the loop.
which also takes its name from the
shape of the design. Whorls are fourth

within circles. Most other designs are
combinations Of these and are classified

upon a basis OF classifying a finger
print in accordance with these standards
and upon the further principle of count
ing the ridges between certain given
points may the general scheme of CLASH

ger because of it's peculiarities and these
numbers are added up Then enters the
number of ridges between the given
chosen points and upon the figures got

is based. The given finger prints are
filed under that number. Whenever
similar finger print comes in and Is
classified 1t would go under this given
filing number. So when any finger print

making it possible to get good finger
prints. These were sent to Washington
and the man was identified as having
been recently discharged and paid con-
siderable sum of money. The theory was
that he had been killed for his money
and thrown into the stream.
An even more interesting case identified
by Expert Taylor was that of a man
who was recently found unconscious in
the woods in the state of Washington.
He was taken to a hospital. where an
operation was performed in which a piece
of skull was removed, after which he re-
gained consciousness. The first thing of
which he spoke was of having been as
saulted on 9Th avenue in New York at
time which proved to be fourteen years
previously. OF events that had transpired
between the time of his assault and the
operation he remembered nothing. de-
sign tattooed on his forearm led to the
belief that he had been in the navy, and
a finger print impression was taken and
forwarded to the bureau of navigation,
where it was ascertained that under the
name of Roger G. Kenney he had served
two enlistments in the navy, and had
been discharged. Upon leaving the navy

New Parole Law for Federal Prisoners.

"7HEN the doors of a prison swing
w shut behind man, and he sees
stretching out before him the long
gray years of confinement, one day so
much like another that all merge into a
monotone of endurance. what hope is
there to tighten his load? Does he look
forward to a day when, the long penance
over, he shall shed his disgrace as an
outworn garment and step forth to take
his place in society clad in righteousness
and rehabilitated in virtue? Does the
world welcome the released prisoner with
open arms and offer him the chance to
make good and be man and brother?
Formerly, no. 1t summed MIN as it
would a disease, and the moral salvation
of rich man was an easier matter than
the social regeneration of an ex-convict.
He was an Ishmael, and few and far be-
tween were the employers who would take
chances with the man who had served
time. The story of Jean Vatican is a
striking instance of the attitude of So
ciety toward the offender against the laws
of the land, even though he has expiated
his offense by passing through the purga-
tory of a nation, the penitentiary.
In the last few years. however a
change has been wrought. OF three re-
forms advocated by the penal commission
the parole law has been adopted, and has
proved a great power for good. This COM
mission consisted of Justice w. p. STAFF
ford, Mr. John j. Edison and Mr.. r. v. La
Dow.
The first annual report of the federal
boards of parole, of VIII oh r. v. La Dow
of the Department of Justice is president,
has been submitted to the Attorney GEN
eral. This report is of peculiar interest
to the District of Columbia In view Of the
fact that not only the parole law enacted
dat on Of the penal commission for the
District. appointed by former President
Roosevelt. but also from the fact that the
law Is applicable to District prisoners SEN
fenced to the federal prisons.
Attorney General Wickersham, October
IL. 1911, addressed the American Prison
Congress at Omaha on The Parole of
United States Pr soners." In this address
the Attorney General commended the re-
account Of the administration Of the pa
role law for the year ending June 80. 1911.
The parole law is an act of Congress,
approved June %. 1910. Briefly, it pro-
vides for the release on parole Of any
prisoner sentenced for definite term or
terms who has served at least 'one-third
of his sentence or sentences. and whose
behavior has been good. The parole
prisoner during the rest of his sentence,
ceived for good behavior, reports
periodically to the board of parole.
