Problems Of Prison Discipline.

From the Rochester Democrat
The Auburn Advertiser. which is in
2 position to know something about
the plans of Warden Osborne for
improving the condition of the pris-
oners In Sing Sing, replies vigorously
to attacks in the New York Tribune
on the management of the prison at
Auburn under the wardenship of
Charles It. Rattigan.
The Tribune asserts that prison
ers sentenced to life imprisonment
have been taken on automobile rides;
they have been permitted to appear
at public entertainments inside and
outside of the prison. and they have
been permitted TO associate on prison
fete days with general visitors" A
more serious charge Is that certain
prisoners have violated the confidence
placed in them, and have been guilty
of picking the pockets of visitors.
The mutual welfare league. organ
lied in the prison, at the suggestion
OF Mr.. Osborne, is said to have de-
moralized discipline by assuming to
| take charge of the administration of
affairs within the walls over the head
of the guards. Men billed to take
part in amateur performances given
| by prisoners are declared to have en-
| ioyed liberties in the way of outside
trips never before allowed under ans

America; The Worlds Best Haven for
Men and Money.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Two potent reasons impel the Brit
ish government to forbid a reopening
of London's Stock Exchange. One is
to prevent Germany and Austria
from selling securities to obtain mon
ey. The other is TO prevent the Eng
lish people themselves from realz-
ing to what a low point British con-
soils have fallen.
Not since the Napoleonic wars has
England's credit been at so low an
ebb as at the present hour. Not since
Germany inflicted upon France a bill
lion dollar war indemnity has French
credit been so low.
Germany, Austria and Russia ara
financially in even worse condition
than England and France. Each is
borrowing TO the full limit Of its re.
sources. Each is placing a back
breaking mortgage upon the future.
An unprecedented tax will be levied
upon capital for years to come by
all of them.
Napoleons' wars reduced the stature
of the French people by an inch. The
present war will reduce European
credit to a plane lower than for three
generations.
In this world crisis the United
States towers high above every other
nation on earth. Its debt Is the small
est, its taxes the lowest and its credit
by far the highest.
More than ever in the past, America
should become not only the asylum
for oppressed peoples but haven
for the oppressed capital of the Old
| World

Because of the war. English manu-
facturers and consumers of wood
pulp have been caused considerable
uneaslness. Production is at a
standstill in the countries at war, and
in Norway and Sweden, principal
sources of supply, mills have been
greatly hampered because Of a lack
of coal and chemicals. England has
practically no domestic. sources of
pulp.

Man.
OYSTER BAY, Dec. 9.-Colonel
Roosevelt, it was learned today, gave
a private lecture several days ago
to a party of friends at Sycamore
Hill upon his adventures on the
River of Doubt" Among several
thrilling escapes by members of the
expedition described by him, the
colonel told of fish which he called
the "cannibal fish"
This fish, the colonel said, though
only about eighteen inches long and
almost as wide, was of indescribable
ferocity. One day, he said, one of the
native carriers fell into the river
Almost instantly he was attacked by
''cannibal fish, which swarmed
around him and were so voracious
that when the rescuers arrived only
the skeleton of the man was left.

apparently borne out by the following

in history. The waters are narrow

Grew Rich Delivering Groceries on SO .
Week.

OWOSSO, Mich, Dec. 9.-When the
delivery wagon from Collins's grocery
store goes by nowadays the older
residents of the city stop and glare
after it. Some of them are tempted
to rub their eyes.
For stranger is driving the
wagon. The thin figure of Otto De-
beaux no longer adorns the front seat.
There is no reason why Otto should
not have quite any time in the last
ten years. But delivering groceries,
rain or shine, summer or winter, has
grown to be a habit with him. Now
he is giving him time to collecting
his rents and looking after his prop
erty. Otto's career is an answer to
the plant of the chap who says there
is no longer any opportunity.
Otto probably started in at Sc or 81
a week When Mr.. Thomas died
Otto's weekly wage was and had been
SO a week. He had never received
more than that In his working life.
Horace Collins, who bought the
store, raised Otto to SO. But the bulk
of his achievements were performed
on so a week, sS7 a month, Sass a
year. Today Otto has a rent roll of
about 500 a month. He owns eight
houses. He has reared two young
girls TO womanhood with the help of
his frugal, Industrious wife.

an experiment in Utah in using con-
victs to build roads, and adds: "Soon
they will be allowing the criminals
who are paying penance inside TO
come out and enjoy some of the same
privileges as the thousands of crooks
who have not yet been caught" No
one questions Mr.. Osborne's earnest
desire to bring about a great moral
reform in our prison system, but
while judges go through the form of
sentencing criminals to hard labor
it is obvious that too many liberties
cannot be granted without bringing
the law into contempt

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.--While the
war on ship rats waged by the United
States Public Health Service has re-
suited in exterminating $4,000 of the
pests every year, the service has still
some work ahead of it.
According to a bulletin issued to-
day the average Mrs. Rat will con-
tribute three filters a year, each
averaging ten young. 1t has been
computed that Pa and Ma Rat will
in five years, providing all offsprings
live, increase by arithmetic progress
sion to gao. 1863, 1862, 152 rats. 1t is esti-
mated that the loss from rats in the
United States is from S35 000, 900 to
$4,000, 900 a year.
The bulletin calls attention to the
fact that vessels frequently carry
cats to keep down the rats.
Girl Gets Fianee's Release from SAM

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-After having
been released by writ of habeas
corpus sued out by his 1ancee, Miss
Charlotte Gibbs. from the River Crest
Sanitarium in Astoria, where he had
been placed by his mother for alleged
inebriety, Arthur Tate, thirty-four
years old, was married last night to
Miss Gibbs. after his mother gave up
her opposition to the match. The
writ was granted by Justice Aspinall,
of the Supreme Court, in Brooklyn
yesterday. 1t was because of the
mothers objection to the match that
she had her son committed to the
sanitarium. Tate's mother lives at
500 West 161st street, and Miss Gibbs
lived at IS West 1875 street. Mrs. Tate
announced the withdrawal of her
objection to her sons marriage when
the case was called in court.
