CONVICT MANAGEMENT

Thomas Mott Osborne, the new warden of Sing Sing prison, at Osstn- ing, N. T., has just put in effect a system of honor rules. Much of the yicts' organization. For the first time in the history of the institution. the rules were not broken, the day after the new system went into force
 The great outside world comfort ably inagines that prisons are well regulated. If any one suggests new ideas, he is told that jail life must not be made too comfortable, or it will be no deterrent to crime. Yet. many famous prisons are hells on earth. Loathsome diseases are com municated to cleanly men. Cells are floor, the moist spot does not dry out for a. week. Some notable prisons have no plumbing in cell houses, and the stench is intolerable.
 Wonderful results are being accom- pIished under the new ideas of convict management. At Comstock, N- sY.. is 8 typical one of many experiments The soc prisoners cultivate 8 LIDO acre farm, and the guards are unarm- ed.s The eonVicts are jealous of the honor and reputation of the camp, and insubordination is not tolerated by them Only two out Of ], 1000 in mates have ever run away. Men leave the farm when their work makes it necessary for them to do so. There are ball games and other amusements. Most of these men will leave the camp converted into pro- ducers and industrious men.
 Farm work is the best employment for prison CTS. In other trades, crafts men are naturally Jealous Of prison labor. Many prisons find nothing for their inmates to do but odd jobs like caning chairs. Such work can rarely be a means of subsistence after they leave. No union label is ever called for on potatoes or cabbages. There is always a shortage of food products

TROLLEY SIGNALS .REARRANGED UNDER
 P. U. COMMISSION
Sweeping Rules of Board Are to Be Carried Out
 Within Few Weeks
Great Caution Taken to Safe guard Grade Crossings
 Danger Points Indicated

Under the direction of the Connecti- cut Public Utilities Commission, rsd1- cal changes are now being made throughout this state by the various trolley divisions in their signs. Blue prints and instruction from the Public Utilities arrived in this city several days ago and the Connecticut com pany is actively engaged in following out the orders and changing all their signs warning of danger and aiming to prevent the approach of cars at dangerous points without due notice to motorman and conductors.s
 The new precautionary signs upon trolley tracks include tstop, Slow, Whistle g Speed Limit, " and s'Cau- ton. or warning signs Briefly these may be described as follows:
 Upon the approach of bridge or dangerous curve, 500 fet away there is to be placed upon a pole, black and white bars to the number of five. For each hundred feet covered these bars are reduced until there is but one bar, 100 feet distant from the approach of danger which is indicated by a sign six inches wide, 20 Inches long and one inch thick painted yell low, with a notched end bearing in black the word s'Slow.
 Where an absolute stop is to be made this sign is followed with a red faced board of the same dimensions bearing the word Stop in black let ters. This sign is distinguished at night from the other by 8 pointed in- stead of a notched end.
 For points where a. whistle is to be blown, a large white square is to be placed on poles with black tfW. ''' Where speed limits are to be observed a diamond shaped yellow surface Is to boar the figure at wlacih the motor man may proceed in black lettering.
 Passenger stops are to be substan- tiaI1y as at present. q. band Of white located five feet above the ground and where placed on unpainted poles must tom of the white surface to mako it more distinct. All road crossings, even on private right of way must be fur nished with the familiar cross arms warning drivers that it is a railroad crossing.

PHILATELLISTs PRIZE
 STAMPS FROM HAVRE

(Correspondenc of Associated Press.)
 Havre, Dec 1.-The little branch postoffice in the district of Ste Ad resse, Havre, is now the most import ant in the world in the view of stamp collectors. It falls within the section of the city temporarily made over to Belgium as it's capital, and as such is on Belgian soil. A letter posted there, even if destined only for an other part Of Havre, must carry the full foreign postage rate of 25 cen times, or five cents.
 It is not due to the fact of a. Bel gian stamp being used, but to the postmark of Havre on the stamp that makes it valuable to plilafeIlists.
 During the office hours stamp col lectors stand in line in Ste Ad resse. The greatest sale is of postcards with the embossed stamp of five centimes, two stamps of two centines and one of one. making a total value of two cents. They buy the entire issue, which they usually stick on an envel- cpe addressed to themselves and have them cancelled immediately at the window. But the most valuable col lection is one placed on an official envelope marked and signed by the mail censor. It is thus a triple souve- mir.
 If it were not for the collectors. this Belgian office would do a small busi- ness. But in view of the stamps can celIed for the sake of the postmark, it is probably the best paying office of its size in any part of the globe

upon Smelling the gas used to des- troy them, will seek various remote holes and crannies in the vessel, and will die in these places undiscovered It is estimated that oyer 50.000 rats are killed annually by the Public Health service in vessels alone. From the figures given above as to the ra-l pidity with which rats can multiply it will be seen that the scope of the preventive work against rat propaga- ton in vessels is very great.
 Vessels Frequently carry cats to keep down the rats and recently at one of the quarantine stations under the Public Health Service a captain of a vessel begged the qdarantfne of ffcer to spare his cabin from fumiga- ton on the ground that the presence of a fine rat catching cat made it impossible that there should be any rats in the part of the ship in which he lived But the doctor was hard hearted and insisted on the fumiga- tion, with the result that not only was the pet cat killed. through some careIessness on the part of the cap tain, but 24 rats as well, it being ap- parent that the 24 rats and the one cat had been living together very com fortably and amicahly in. the cap tain's cabin.

REFUSE TO SIGN
 PEACE MISSIVES

(Correspondence of Associated Press)
 London, Dec. 1.-The Archbishop Of Canterbury and Dr. Dryander the German court chaplain, have refused to sign an appeal addressed to the Christian churches urging them among other things seriously to keep peace before their eyes in order that o4oodshed may soon cease.''
 The appeal has been signed by many prominent divines including Bishop Greer of New York and Bishop Futile of St. Louis But although both the Anglican pre1ate and the German doctor of divinity are in entire accord with the signatories. as the corre- spondence just published makes plain, In devoutedly hoping God may ordein that peace shall soon be restored each IS or the opinion, apparently that the only peace to be desired is that found ed on the triumphant demonstration Of the righteousness of his country's cause.
 The archbishop writes: You may De certain that at the first moment when it seems to me that an opening is presented for securing g. righteous and enduring peace I shall do my ut most to urge it. but am clear that that moment, greatly as we long for It, has not yet come.
 The conflict which has been fore ed upon Europe fmpute no motive but merely state a fact) must I fear, now that 1t has begun, proceed for the bringing to an issue the fundamental moral principle Of faithfu1ness to a nations obligation to it's solemIy pHghted word. The recognition of the moral validity of such an obligation is fundamental to the maintenance of peace and progress among the nations of the world
 pr. DTyander takes strong excep- ton to a paragraph of the appeal which reads: 'fThe tang1e of under lying and active causes which accun1- ulate in the course of time. and the proximate events which led to the breaking of peace, are left to history to unravel." He declares it would be impossible for him to sign that state ment. He writes:
 History will certainly show 10 us in a different light much that we can now see through the dark clouds of dust arising from the arena. of the present struggle. But that history will show only all the clearer-as has been done already-the righteousness of our cause, upon this firm conviction of OUTS are founded our good con science, our confidence and our reso- lufion in the terrible distress of the present time If anyone Is attacked on four sides and defends his life, he aots m self de1emee and fu1fills a Christian duty. We are in this sit uaBtion.''
