REHABILITATION or GRIMM
AIS.

Chief OF Police kohler of Cleveland
follows up his agitation for fewer ar
rests for trivial causes with a PROMO
sition for IL radical change in the pc
nal treatment of more serious Offend
crs. Instead of definite terms of i'm
prisonment he proposes that the man
found guilty shall be sentenced to
Observation-Disclosures seems to be i'm
prisonment-to last until a second
Judge and jury. after full hearing,
shall decide that the penalty can
safely be terminated and the prisoner
restored to association with the law
abiding. The second tribunal is to be
known as the court of rehabilitation,
and its inquiry is expected to be as
strict as the first trial. with the diff
ference that the burden of proof
would be on the man seeking liberty.
The newspaper summary does not
directly specify whether this rehabili-
tating process shall extend to the

number Of such intelligent, self-rc-

a Roman who was getting rich on a
small farm. while his neighbors fell
behind with many more acres. He

judges: These. . Quirites. are my

say that he wa acquitted.
He devotes a large part of his work
to the management Of the slaves,
whom he recommends should he man

first o $ of these slaves seems to have
been about three hundred dollars.

The Juvenile Bos,onians.

The long anticipated engagement OF
the Juvenile Rostonians in this city
will take place at the Metropolitan
on Saturday night. March 80.
The Juvenile Bostonians are now
on their eight, annual tour. 1t has
been a remarkable development in
these eight years. When first organ-
lied the Juveniles were children in
deed. many Of them only seven or
eight years of age. Now they are
just at that e between childhood
and young womanhood, the delightful
age of sweet sixteen. 1t is the same
company almost. but the members
have grown up. They still retain the
charm and fascination of childhood,
but have the experience. the conf
dence and the training of years.
The musical treat to be offered
next Saturday afternoon is that tune
full affair. The Rose of Blandien." TO
be followed in the evening by THE
Dream Girl These pieces are the
best in the Juvenile Bostonians roper
toirc and it goes without saying that
each will be a delight. The manage
mcnt has been at considerable ex-
pense to equip these operas with fine
scenery. costumes and electrical eff
fects. so that the picture will be one
to long remember for it's beauty and
harmony.
The charm Of young voices always
appeals to music lovers. while the fact
of the youth of the performers is an
additional attraction that will ca use
big audiences of ladies and gentle
men. and children. too. to be present
at each performance.
The musical numbers to be render
ed will include some Of the latest and
mos catchy selections of the last
year. Among them will be The First
Dark Night Next Week." That's the
