Eecominz Criminals
AND HOW TR -REFORM THEM.
Numerous Resolutions Passed by a Meeting
or Prison Rete mere.
To *Befetp oafin'aasa Rretr her lite
Shaftesbury Hall, Toronto, Friday, occu-
pying morning and afternoon. The morn-
ing session opened at 10.30 o'clock, Mr., W.
H. Howland m the chair in the absence of
the President, Hon. S. H. Blake. The at-
tendance was very satisfactory. Among
litthe delegates were Rev. Mr. Geoghegan and
Mr. A. Caviller, of thiscity. A letter of
regret for absence was received from the
Bishop of Niagara.
Proposed by Mr. J. J. Kelso, and second-
ed' by Rev. Thomas Geoghegan, of Hamil-
ton : " Resolved, that this convention
having oesefully considered the 16 recom-
mendations made by a Ontario Prison
Reform Commisaionete he suppression of
juvenile criminality, desires to express its
approval -of the same, and its conviction
that only in their practical adoption can
we hope for any material decrease in the
criminal population. We, therefore,
urge upon. the Provincial Government and
the various municipalities of the Province
the paramount importance' of enforcing
compulsory education, including the eatab-
lishment of industrial schools in every large
town or city ; the passage of by-laws for-
bidding the running 'at large of children
after dark ; the furnishing of playgrounds
and gymnasiums for the uro of children
after school hours, and the regulation of
junk shops and second-hand stores, etc.,
the providing for separate trial of children,
and separate places of detention while under
arrest ; that children after trial and convic-
tion should in no case be detained in the
police cells or county jail, but should be
handed over to the custdldy f a probation
officer, to be dealt wt th circumstances
may warrant, and the iibi,. enacted to
.give full effect to the probation system ;
that industrial school,§ be provided, in the
centres of population, and that in these the
indeterminate sentence' should be adopted,
with ample provision fqr the supervision of
children after their discharge from such in-
stitutions." , Carried.
Rev.. Thomas Geoghegan, in seconding
the resolution, referred to the difficulty
poor parents had in providing for and look-
ing after their children. He favored more
attention to industrial training, and a
stricter supervision of junk shops and other
places where boys would be encouraged
to bring lead pipe and other stolen arti-
des. The churches, too, should do more
for children by keeping the schoolrooms and
parlors in the church always open for them
'to meet in,.and encouraging them to assem-
ble there rather than on the streets.
Sir Daniel Wilson said .that he could
fully corroborate the statement that tempo-
rary imprisonment was no punishment for
boys, as they rather enjoyed that kind of
thing and boasted of it.
Rev. Dr. Johnston ,remarked that they
were beginning at the right end in taking
np the questionof the children.
Mr. A. Caviller, of this city, made a good
speech on behalf of boys, urging more con
,sideration for them. There was too much
keeping them off the grass,, he .coneidered ;
and it was a deplorable fact, too, that • the
home life was not what it should be for
many children, parents allowing their girls
.d boys to run the streets instead of pro
viding healthful amusement for them at
e Mr. J. W. Langinuir, chairan ' of the
'nt
Il rison Commission, had every confidence in
eying thief if the •conference approved of
e conclusions arrived at they would be
opted by the Ontario Government and
ied out before many years were over.
trpng pressure should also, he thought, be
nought to bear on the Dominion Govern-
rent to aid in carrying out the recommen
t;' t Rations made.
Other resolutions favored the reorganiza-
n of Penetanguishene Reformatory, . that
4A.
,S, farm be bought and the cottage system
';introduced, and that the reformatory should
'e? placed on the same footing as the Indus-
ig al School as regards liability of. munici-
ities for maintenance of boys. A resolu-
on was also passed endorsing the recom-
endation of the. Prison Reform Commission
•th regard to the indeterminate sentences
Said parole system, making refractory chil-
8ren wards ,of • the. State during minority,
d recommendi' •the organization 'of
nch associations to take the supervision
f such children. It was resolved to ask
e Dominion Government to place the
Yjpsrdoning power in the hands of the Provin-
t�a} ,�iipial Government in regard to youths com-
k tied to the refuges and reformatories of
t� fi 4 nterio. The meeting also favored- the
rtablishment of a special reformatory for
!ung men between the ages of 16 and 30.
or the purpose of keeping first offenders
-m associating with haridened criminals,
the meeting asked t that an . industrial re -
r natory bo . established where • prisoners
tween the ages of 17 and 30 convicted fora first time could be kept under indeter-
4i`iuinate sentence.. A resolution proposing
;the establishment of homes for inebriates

What Is Tammany ?
The New York Tester thus describes it :
The society of Tammany, or the.Colum-
tan order, is a secret organization—that is,
conducts it business in private, has pass-
rds, uses a peculiar and stilted
menclature for ordinary things, labels
officers with high sounding titles and
dulges ,in more or less mystical and
posing --- or grotesque — ceremonies at
Mations, etc. This society owns the
nilding known as Tammany Hall. The
litical organization whose headqu rters
e in that edifice is distinct from the
iety, but is controlled by members of
o Columbian Order.'

much more quickly than was thought

This accident will certainly have a good
effect with manager's' of future horse shows,
and such foolish jumping, which is of no
earthly use as a test 'of the merits of a
horse, will probably be abandoned. • Six
feet, at moat, is all that any horse should
be asked to jump, and even a limit of 5 feet

A LONG SENTENCE.
A London Blackmailer Of Many Aliases
Convicted.
A London cable says : Charles Grande,
alias a dozen other naines, who has been
on trial in this city on charges of blaok-
mailing, was to -day found guilty and
sentenced to twenty years penal servitude:
Grande had .been pursuing his nefarious
practices for a long time and numbers
among his victims several tilted ladies.
It was his habit to' write letters to these
ladies, threatening them with his vengeance,
unless they complied with. his demands for
money. Many of the ladies were so badly
frightened by the rascal's threats that they
paid him money. When Grande was arrested
the pence found in his possession a forged
bill of exchange. This afforded an oppor-
tunity for another charge to be made against
him in addition to the charges of black-
mail. The prisoner was convicted on this
charge also, and on this conviction he was
sentenced to an addition term . of seven
years' penal servitude. •

Two Soldiers Die Of Wounds Received in
the U. S. Civil War. .
A New York despatch says : Two re-
markable deaths were reported at the
Bureau of Vital Statistics yesterday. One
was'that of Sergi: John H. Whitney, who
died on Sunday of septicemia or bleed -
poisoning. This was the result of a gunshot
wound in the pelvis, received at the battle
of Antietam on September 17th, 1862. For
29 years the wound remained unhealed, and
at last caueed the death of its victim by
blood -poisoning. The case of Sergeant
Whitney is considered a remarkable one by
the medical profession. The other death
was that of Bartholomew Buckley, a private
in the war, who died yesterday of paralysis
of the right side, where he was shot during
the war, the paralysis being . the effect of
the wound. .

Sequel to a Crusade.
About eighteen months ago the little
gown of Lathrop, Mo., was the scene of an
exciting temperance crusade. The leading
women of the town attacked the saloons and ! ,
smashed things generally, running the
liquids off into the gutters and driving the
saloon -keepers away. Mrs. Anna Care
tnichael was then the honored wife of a resi*
dent minister,, and was'the leader oi'
the crusade. Excitement was great,
and the , . whole proceedings were
brought into the State courts.
Mrs. Carmichael's character was afterwards
attacked. Her' husband believed the stories
and,. brought suit for divorce. The cone
test was +'long ' and bitter, for the wife
fought for her good . name and'position is -
society. The divorce was granted, but,. '
many people thought malice and persecu-
tion were the impelling •'motives. Mrs.
Carmichael was permitted to assume
her maiden name and has,been known
as Mrs. Anna Brown since the exciting
news referred to. Now comes the sequel
and the romance. Among the ' many who
felt that Mrs. Brown was the victim of per-
secution was John Moons, a wealthy
bachelor, now deceased. When he died and,
his will was -opened it was found that. he '
had left $50,000 to her, believing' that she
was " an innocent an persecuted woman." •
He further said that while he had never
met Mrs. Brown he had known .her family. •

Epsom Salts on Erick.
Philadelphia Record ; If householders,
instead of muttering customary curses when
they note an' `unsightly white efflorescence
upon the bricks of their domiciles, would
mount ladders and carefully scrape off the
deposite they would have on hand a constant
supply of Epsom 'salts, so handy to have in
the house. Dr. Leffman, the noted chemist,
has analyzed the deposit, and has found it.
to be nothing more or less than magnesium
sulphate -Epsom salts. Its presence is thus •
accounted for : Mortar contains lime and:
magnesium, while the.air is full of sulphuric•
acid, which, upon contact with the mortar,
metamorphoses it into the sulphates of lime
and of magnesium. The brick itself is
porous, and after a rain, exudes water, and
with the water the sulphate of magnesium
in the mortar. The sulphate of lime, being
insoluble, remains behind. The water
finally evaporates, and thus the magnesium
sulphate residue is formed which so mars
the beauty of brick buildings. The remedy -
for this efflorescence is the painting of the
bricks either with the ordinary article or
with paraffine.
