AZ At Reform School.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug IA The
State Reform School is now the
boarding place of 43 boys, rang
ing from 10 to 20 years OF age,
which is the largest number IN
carcerated there in recent years.
In former years, when girls
were admitted to the institution,
the number sometimes ran as
high as 100. The placing of de-
linouents in the school by coun-
ty Judges also added materially
to the inmates, but recently, a
number of the cities have estab-
lished courts for dellnquents,
with a place to care for them
and this has reduced that eX-
pense on the state.
Supt. Deaton will probably ask
the next legislature to nix an
age limit for boys sent to the re-
form school, and prevent the
taking of children less than Il
wears of age. He believes that
it is not fair to the boys to be
thrown with the older boys,
some of whom are already har-
dened criminals, and their as
ISOLATION is detrimental to the
smaller boy. The little fellows
need teaching in the way to be-
come good citizens, which IS
impossible with the older boys
to lead them in an opposite d.
rection.

Water Unfit For Use.

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. l5.-The
State Board of Health has COM
pleted an analysis of the water
which has been supplied by the
Western Coal and Mining Com
pany to it's employees at Jenny
Lind, pronouncing it wholly UNI
fit for use. Four samples were
analysed, and it ran from 70
to 80 per cent in gas. The board
of health states it is not only UNI
healthy, but dangerous, and
will cause an epidemic of ty-
phoid, if it's use is continued.
DR.. Morgan Smith, head of the
State Board of Health, recently
went to Jenny Lind, with Labor
Commissioner J. G.. Clary, and
at that time he expressed the
opinion that the water was I'M
pure, and ordered the mine OPP
orators to supply the employees
with better water.

Sex of the Gossip.

The prophecy by Americas most
beautiful suffragist,' as Mrs. Inez Mil
holland Boissevain continues to be
called despite her marriage to Dutch
man whose few appearances in the pub
lie prints have indicated him to be a
man of sufficiently distinctive person.
ality and purpose to make his wife. q
Hollander, too-the prophecy by this
graciously valiant advocate of the
cause" that with the winning of the
vote will pass the woman gossip, must
not be allowed to go by without serious
consideration. ,..
The question whether man or woman
is the greater gossip has ever been an
open one. Man has for so long had
the louder voice in the determination
of weighty matters of this sort that
the onus has been settled, in the COM
posite mind of the world, upon woman,
protesting. Woman, protesting, has
declared man TO be a gossiper whose
activities were as frequent, as" harmful
as any of her own small talk over the
tea or over the back fence. Mans
garrulity over his own particular
brews, she has contended, has been as
unsparing of his friends and acquaint-
ances as ever woman's was. There's
truth in this; the idle chatterer, the vim
dictive tale-bearer, is of common gen.
der.
Yet man has the vote. Here is an
issue that the woman suffragists should
well look to. They stand in some dan
ger of predicaing a promised reform
upon the proposition woman has so
long combated, that woman is a
gossip, man is not. Much as many
women, perhaps now most women, want
the vote, they may be taken aback by
this argument for the cause. If it is
better to be right than President, as one
of our very eminent but not supremely
successful statesmen once averred, per-
haps it is better to be right than simply
to have the qualification to vote for a
President.
Most of Mrs. Boissevain's sisters in
the cause are apt to prefer to be right
about their contention that man despite
his long enfranchisement is still greater
gossip than woman and then, like him,
get the vote and gossip, too.

Street Gardens,

Washington has the climate, wide
streets, and lawns, but it has not got
the beautiful gardens of the cities
across the Atlantic. 1t is not because
we don't love flowers, ferns, and shrub
berry, but it does appear we do not
take the interest we should in their
cultivation.
There are some American cities
much farther north than the Capital,
whose sidewalks in the residence dis
tricts are lined with green shrubs and
flowers, where it seems to the pedes-
trian he is walking through a park or
private grounds. To the Woodworking
citizen or the hustling business man
there comes a restful feeling the min
ute he finds himself walking between
hedges of living beauty; it teaches the
young to be careful and not destroy or
deface public or private property, and
in many ways these avenues lined with
gardens are great attraction.
Washington is also sadly behind
many cities in the cultivation of real
gardens around its homes. The
charming flower beds in the many
breathing spots for which Washington
is justly famed do not satisfy that long

To the Editor: Pictures Of the Capt

one. All others are copies Gilbert Stu
art was a noted master OF his art, and
save Capt. Barry all OF the points OF q
true likeness However, Stuarts Capt
Barry has not met with the ideas Of Mr..
John J. Boyle, the sculptor of the Capt
John Barry statue. Mr.. Boyle wanted
a "dashing Barry and draws hard on his
imagination and presents us with myth
ical likeness of Capt. Barry, who was not
a dashing looking man from Stuart's
portrait; nor. in fact, man OF dashing
deeds, according to history. As pre-
septed In the pictures OF the papers,
BoyIe's Capt Barry looks a stern old
Indian chief rigged out in Revolutionary
attire. 1t is both inaccurate and mislead-
ing. And Il is a pity that We are denied
a real Capt Barry after so much fuss
and feathers of seven long years OF wait
ing.
The statue Is also exceedingly imagina-
tive and inaccurate in the description of
Capt. Barry as the commodore Of the
United States Navy" Capt Barry never
was the commodore of the United
States Navy, nor even a commodore "in'
the navy. He was nothing more nor less
than a captain. The Official title Of COM
modore had no existence in the United
States Navy before the civil war. Capt.
Barry died in 1903; and he died a cap
tain, and captain he must remain.
My word, 1t is a pity that such errors
