AND HOW 76 REFORM THEM.
NumerousEf1utions Pad by a Meeting
At Prison Reformers.
A Erlich Reform Conference eves held in
'Shafteraury Hall, Toronto, Friday, occu-
pyingenorning and afternoon. The morn-
ing eession opened at 10.30 o'clock, Mr. W.
H. blowland in the chair in the absence of
eba`Presetent, Hon. S. 11, Blake. The at-
tondance was very satisfactory. Among
the delegates were Rev. Mr. Geoghegan aud
Mr. A. Gaviller, of thiscity. A letter of
regret for absence was received from the
33hthop of Niagara.
Proposed by Mr. J. J. Kelso, and second-
-red by Rev. Thomas Geoghegan, of Hamil-
ton "Resolved, that this convention,
having carefully considered the 16 recom-
mendations made by the Ontario Prison
Reform Commission for the suppression of
juvenile criminality, desires to express its
approval of the same, and its conviction
f' that only in their practical adoption can
we hope for any material decrease in the
crianinal population. We, therefore,
surge upon the Provincial Government and
the various municipalities of the Province
the paramount importaoce of enforcing
compulsory education, including the estab-
lishment of industrial schoolsni every large
town or city; the passage of by-laws 1 or -
lidding the running at large ,a children
after dark ; the furnishing of playgrounds
and gymnasiums for the use of children
after school hours, and the regulation of
junk shops and second-hand stores, etc.,
the providing for separate trial of children,
and separateplaces 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 custody of a probation
-officer, to be dealt with as the circumstances
may warrant, and that a law be enacted to
give full effect to the probation system;
that industrial schools be provided in the
centres of population, and that in these the
indeterminate sentence should be adopted,
with ample provision for 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
etrieter supervieion of junk shops and other
places where boys would be encouraged
to bring lead pipe and other stolen arti-
cles. 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-
arary 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
up the question of the children.
• Mr. A. Gaviller, 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 considered;
and it was a deplorable fact, too, that the
home life was not what it should be for
many children, parents allowing their girls
and boys to run the streets instead of pro
adding healthful amusement for them at
home.
Mr. J. W. Langmuir, chairman of the
Prison Commission, had every confidence in
saying that if the conference approved of
the conclusions arrived at they would be
adopted by the Ontario Government and
carried out before many years were over.
Strong pressure should also, he thought, be
brought to bear on the Dominion Govern-
ment to aid in carrying out the recommen-
dations made.
Other resolutions favored the reorganiza-
tion of Penetanguishene Reformatory, that
a farm be bought and the cottage system
introduced, and that the reformatory should
be placed on the same footing as the Indus-
trial School as regards liability of munici-
palities for maintenance of boys. A resolu-
tion was also passed endorsing the recom-
mendation of the PrisonReform Commission
with regard to the indeterminate sentences
and parole system, making refractory chil-
dren wards of the State during minority,
and recommending the organization of
branch associations to take the supervision
,of such children. It was resolved to ask
the Dominion Government to place the
pardoningpower in the hands of the Provin-
cial Government in regard to youths com-
mitted to the refuges and reformatories of
Ontario. The meeting also favored the
esitablishment of a special reformatory for
young men between the ages of 16 and 30.
For the purpose of keeping first offenders
front associating with hardened criminals,
the meeting asked that an industrial re-
formatory be established where prisoners
between the ages of 17 and 30 convicted for
the first time could be kept under indeter-
minate sentence. A resolution proposing
the establishment of homes for inebriates
-was also passed. Tramps, it was resolved,
.should have to work for their board, and
• County Councils should be compelled to
build poorhouses. ,
That Is Tammany ?
The New York Herald thus describes it:
"The society of Tammany, or the Colum-
bian order, is a secret organization—that is,
it conducts it business in private, has pass.
• words, uses a peculiar and stilted
nomenclature for ordinary things, labels
its officers with high bounding titles and
indulges in more or less mystical and
imposing — or grotesque --- ceremonies at
• initiations, etc. This society owns the
building known as Tammany Hall. The
political organization whose headquarters
are in that edifice is distinct from the
society, but is controlled by members, of
the Columbian Order."

.A Toronto eport Seers; Within the last
teseeteays two num engaged by the Grand
TruuteketerOlieen seriously injueed opposite
the freight oheds at the foot of Simeoe
street; but yersterday afternoon about 3
o'clock an old and truetworthy employee of
the road was instantly killed in almost the
mune spot where the other two lied perhaps
been maimed for life, pen' at a time when he
was engaged in performing precisely the
same duties au the others who are now being
• treated at the Grand Hospital. The name ,
of the man who lost his life was James
leorrest, 60 years of age'and he lived with
his wife at No. 46 Gore Vale avenue. The
old couple had no family, and were plod-
ding along on the dollar and seventy-five
cents a day which the old man was able to
earn at the Grand Trunk yards. The de-
ceased, assisted by a man named Andrew
Forsyth, 264 Simcces street, was endeityor-
ing to remove from a car to a lorry a large
case colt tenting plate glass weighing
many hundred pounds. 'In order to succeed
in transferring the case without additional
help it was found necessary to place up-
rights or posts under one end while the
other was swung about. Mr. Forrest was
taking one of these posts away when the big
case fell upon him and his paltrier, the lat-
ter having his arm painfully injured, while
the other poor fellow fell beneath, and was
pinned to the ground by the heavy freight-
age. His head, shoulders and chest were
almost severed from the other parts of his
body, and after one shrill, agonizing cry had
been uttered he expired, Da 'Phorburn,
the company's physician, was hurriedly
sent for, but any assiestance from him was
futile, as the poor old man was dead. For-
sythe was sent to his home on Simeoe
street, and the remains of Forrest were sent
in a cab to his heart -broken and about desti-
tute widow on Gore Vale avenue. Coroner
Johnston was notified of the affair, and is
investigating the circumstances of le case.
An inquest will probably be held to -day.
A LONG SENTENCE.
A London Blackmailer 01' lany Aliases
Con victed.
A London cable says : Charles Grande,
alias a dozen other names, who has been
on trial in this city on charges of black-
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 himmoney. When Grande was arrested
the police 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.
AFTER TWENTY-NINE YEARS.
Two Soldiers Die Of Wounds Received In
the E. 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 Serge John H. Whitney, who
died on Sunday of septicemia or blood -
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 rernamed unhealed; and
at last caused 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.
Georgie Misunderstood.
Rochester Herald: A lady went not long
since to call upon a neighbor in the country,
says the Boston. Courier, and found the
5 -year-old son of the house playing upon the
lawn.
"How do you do, Georgie?" she said.
"Is your mamma at home ?"
"No, Mrs. Gray," he answered with the
most approved politeness.
"I am sorry for that," the caller said.
"Will she be gone long ?"
"1 don'tknow," the littlefellow answered,
doubtfully. "She's gone to a Christian and
Devil meeting."
"Gone to what ?" the lady exelaimed in
astonishment.
"To a Christian and Devil meeting in the
vestry," was the reply.
And it suddenly flashed across the caller's
remembrance that for that afternoon had
been appointed at the vestry of the church
a meeting of the society of Christian En-
deavor.
Was Worth It All.
Chicago News: Thomas Bailey, Herkimer
County Treasurer, knows something Olathe
didn't know a weeks ago. Not long ago a
hunter wrote from the northern part of the
county to Mr. Bailey, announcing that he
had killed a bear and under the law was en-
titled to $10 bounty. Mr. Bailey sent the
county's chequc for the amount. Then an-
other, another, another and still another
claim came in, until the county treasurer
had paid out $50 for dead bears When the
sixth demand was made Mr. Bailey thought
he would look up the law, and he found
that there is ho statute in existence author-
izing payment for killing bears. Thereupon
the county clerk took $50 out of his pocket
and put it in the treasury, but he doesn't
say whether the knowledge he gained was
worth what it cost him.

NOW EWEN GOOD COOKS.,

"In the mates' of cookery," said Kate
Field to the Sioux City lournae reporter the
other day, "The majority of American
women are neither fish, flesh, nor good red
herring. So few of them take things seri-
ously or prectically ! They don't know the
scientific side of their work. I don't use
ecieritifie as being something difficult to
understand, but doing e thing right. Women
ought to know whether a certain article of
food is heating or cooling to the blood; and
whether or not it is easy or hard to digest,
But the fact is that much the larger
number of them don't. Their cooking is
simply outrageous. I am not surprieecl that
many mon are driven to drink. Good
cooking, you may be assure, is one of the
most prominent factors in a reasonable
temperance. And the men are all with me
in my crusade in favor of women being
taught how to cook scientifically. The
crusade is gaining ground, too. I am glad
to hear that there is to be a cooking depart.

Mr. Pepper, owner of the deceased jumper
Rosebery etays "1 never put a price on
Rosebery, for he was not for sale at any
figure. One hundred thousand dollars would
not have bought him. I was twice offered
$10,000, one of the intending purchasers

At Tuesday's sale of trotting stock in New
York the highest-prieed animal was the 17 -
year -old brown stallion Mambrino Wilkes,
by George Wilkeenout of a mare by Tod -
hunter's Meanbrino, E. C. Roth, of Buffalo,
buying him for $2,700. IVIambrino Wilkes
is the sire of Balkan, 2.15, aud others with
fast records, and is a remarkably well-pre-
served horse for his years. The 9 -year-old
black pacing gelding Ned Winslow, with a
record of 2.15, was much sought after, as he
is a desirable roadster, as well as having
enough speed to get the money in any of the
minor circuits. H. M. Willis, of East
Williston, N. Y., gave $2,500 for him.
None of the others offered brought four
figures, good-looking colts by King Wilkes
and other sires ef speed going for low

ILIGH JUMPING OE NO USE.
The New York Times says : The pre-
diction in the rinieS of Saturday last that
the absurd and cruel trials of jumping
horses at the "high jump" would cer-
tainly result fatally found verification
much more quickly than was thought
possible. That very evening the splendid
hunter Rosebery met with an accident
which resultedeeenhis death on Sunday.
This accident 'wen certainly have a good
effect with managers 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 most, is all that any horse shottld
be asked to jump, and even a limit of 5 feet
6 inches would be better, for no horse is
ever asked to leap higher than that in
cross-country work.

Prof. Sanders' Precepts.
Just over the desk of the late Prof. Charles

It contained:
Do not say anything you would not wish
Godeto hear.
De not engage in anything you would be
unwilling God should pee.
Do not write anything you would notwish
God to read.
Do not go to any place where you would
not desire God to find you.
Do not read anything which you know
would not please God.
In all things plan, think, act daily for
the Glory of God and the welfare of men.
So your life will be a success both for time
and eternity. "If ye know these things,
blessed are ye if ye do them."—Methodist.
A history of the Mandist revolt in the
Egyptain Soudan has been written by
Major Wingate who says that the Mahdi
never claimed briginally to be anything more
than the forerunner of the Mahdi, who all
the faithful expected, would come some day.
He was an eloquent man, and during ane of
his addresses to his followers, weary as
they were of Egyptain, rule, they shouted,
You are the Mahdi." The idea seems to
occurred to him to make himself a greater
personage than he had thus far laimed to
be. "I an the Mahdi," he replied, and
from that tinie he was accepted as the true
Mahdi, and began an open revolt against
Egypt which led to his installment at
Khartoum as an abeolute ruler.

A New York despatch sive : Jacob
Behoer, 47 years old, of No. 71 Thorne
street, jersey City, Heights is e lamp-
lighter in the employ of the New York and.
New jereey Globe Gas Light Company,
Which eas a contract to furnish light for
the parts of the city which are not lighted
by gas or electricity, His duty is to elean
the lamps in the day time and light them at
night. A short ladder is past of his equip-
ment. About 11 o'clock on Wednestley
morning &boor was etanding on his ladder
polishing a lamp at the coruer of Nelsoo
avenue and Zabriskie street, when
Patrick Mulvihill and some friends hap-
pened along. Mulvihill is a plasterer,
25 yeare old, and he lives at No. 129
Terrace avenue. When he looked at the
lamplighter dooming the glass he thought
he would have some fun. He took hold
of the ladder and began to shake it
violently. Belver was frightened, and
threw his arms around the lamppost to keep
from falling. Mulvihill and his friends
laughed at the lamplighter's fright, and the
ladder was shaken again. Beboer remon-
strated, but it was of no use. Ile pleaded
with Mulvihill to go away, but the latter
seemed to think he had struck an inexhaust-
ible source of amusement, and he continued
shaking the ladder. Beboer finally became
angry, and dropped down to the sidewalk.
There were some words and then blows.
The lamplighter was getting the better of
the fight, when Mulvihill picked up a stone
and, striking him on the head, knocked him
ienseless. nlot satisfied with that Mulvihill
seized the ladder and beat the prostrate man
on the head with it, only desisting when
the ladder broke in two. Policeman Hogan
arrested Mulvihill and had Belmer taken to
the city hospital. It was said at the hos-
pital last night that Beleoer would probably
die within twenty-four hours. His skull is
fractured, and he has not recovered con-
sciousness. Mulvihill is now very penitent.

A Lunatic Shoots Three Times at Rev. Br.
John Hall.
A New York despatch says: As Dr.
John Hall, pastor of the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian Church, was passing from the
church to the parsonage adjoining just after
the close of the morning service to -day, a
man named Jno. G. Rath, a German, 45
years old, stepped from behind a waggon on
the opposite side of the avenue and fired
three shots in quick succession at the rev.
gentleman as he was about ascending the
steps of his residence. The first shot
struck the stone stoop of the doctor's
house, the second perforated one of the
glass panels of the front door, and the
third flattened itself against the side of the
house. The shooter coolly put the
pistol, a 5 -chambered revolver, of the
pattern known as the Young America,
in his pocket, while Mr. A. E. Dick, a mem-
ber of Dr. Hall's church, and the sexton
jumped upon hineand held him until the
arrival of an officer. He made no resistance
whatever, and was led away to the 51st
street station -house and was locked up.
Shortly afterward Dr. Hall went to the
police station and preferred a complaint
against the prisoner. Rath is a heavy,
me..n, well dressed, and bears the
appearance of a well-to-do business man.
He stave his business as that of a real estate
dealer. A great crowd was present when
the shooting occurred, and for a while the
most intense excitement prevailed. About
fifty people followed the officer to the
station and saw that the prisoner was safely
landed behind the bars. The prisoner was
evidine tly not in his right mind. He
muttered about e conspiracy which he
imagined existed against him and papers
found on his person showed the bias of his
imaginings.
A FAMILY WIPED OFT.
A Strange Series of Fatalities Befalling a
Nebraska Family.
A Chadron, Neb., despatch says : The
death of Chas. Barnett, a farmer aged 40
years, living about four miles south of here,
is the end of a chapter of fatalities which is
out of the usual run. Ten years ago the
Barnett family numbered eight people.
They were Charles and his wife and five
children, and Miss Martha Barnett; his
sister. One after the other these have all
died, and to -day not a soul remains of the
family: The youngest child was the first
to be taken. Diphtheria of a malignant
form attacked the babe, and it died within
two days, followed by the next child with
the same disease, one day later. The other
children were attacked, but all recovered
with the exception of the oldest, who was
slow in convalescing. He took cold just when
it was thought that he was getting well
and died. The next day one of the remain-
ing children fell from the loft of the barn,
and when found its neck was broken. On
returning from the funeral of this child the
team ran away and threw Mrs. Barnett and
her sister-in-law from the waggon, killing
the latter instantly and inflicting such in-
juries on the former that she died three
days later. Two weeks age the remaining
child was trying to light a Sre in the cook
store when her clothing caught fire, and
before assistance could be rendered she was
so badly burned that she died from the in-
juries received. A week ago Barnett was
working in his stable when he received a
kick from one of his horses, from the effects
of which he died the next day, this death
completing the round of fatalities and wip-
ing a family out of existence, for they had
no relatives that are known. The farm will
revert to the State unless it can be shown
that there were other members of the
family.
Epsom Salts on Brick.
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 conetant
supply of Epsom salts, so handy to have in
the house. Dr. Barman, 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 contaet 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.

Whey Did Not Die in Their Tracks.
A London cable says: A despatch from
Bombay says that Capt. Boileau and Capt.
Butcher have been removed from the army,
owing to their conduct at Manipur. This
announcement brings to memory the fateful
events which have made Manipur known
thrbughout the world. It will be recalled
that when Chief Commissioner Quinton, Po-
litical Agent Grimwood, and other officials
attempted to place under arrest the Regent
of Manipur, their action resulted in their
massacre. The Residency of Manipur was
stormed by the Manipur soldiers, and a gal-
lant defence was made by a few British
officers aud 400 Ghoorkas, under command
of Col. Skene. In the fighting which then
occurred Col. Skene was killed, and the
command developed upon Boileau. Capt.
Butcher, by this arrangement, became
second in command. After their
ammunition was almost exhausted it was
decided that those who were still
alive in the Residency should make
an attempt to escape. So under cover of
night and under fire of the vigilant enemies
they commenced their retreat, and for six
days the little band made their way toward
British territory, constantly harassed by
their pursuers, who were aided by the
native tribes through whose country the
fugitivee were compelled to pass. As will
be remeinbered, Mrs. Grimwood was the
only woman in the party, and her conduct
during the fight at the'Residency and on
the retreat obtained for her high honor from
the Queen. The retreat was led by Capt.
Boileau, and Capt. Butcher had charge of
one of the little companies into which the
piety was divided. He it was who, shortly
before they met the columns of Ghoorkas
sent to the relief of Manipur, told Mrs.
Grimwood that he had only two cartridges,
one of which would prevent her from falling
into the hands of their pursuers, the other
for himself. Be is a sure shot, and when
the pursuers of the gallant little band came
• too close to them his rifle reduced their
• number. In one instance he killed five of
the Manipuris with five consecutive shots.

Is a dangerous condition directly due
to depleted or impure blood. It should
not be allowed to continue, as in its
debility the system is especially liable
to serious attacks of illness. It is re-
markable how beneficial Hood's Sarsa-
parilla is in this enervating state. Pos-
sessing just those elements which the
system needs and readily seizes, this
medicine purifies the blood, and im-
parts a feeling of strength and self-con-
fidence. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best
remedy for that weakness which pre-
vails at change of season, climate or life.
ood's
Sarsaparilla
", believe it is to the use of Hood's
Sarsaparilla that I owe my present
health. In the spring, I got so com-
pletely run down I could not eat or
sleep, and all the dreaded diseases of
life seemed to have a mortgage on my
system. I was obliged to abandon my
work, and after seeking medical treat-
ment and spending over leso for different
preparations, I found myself no better.
Then my wife persuaded me to try a
bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Before
the first bottle was gone I began to
amend. I have now used two bottles
and have gained 22 pounds. Can eat
anything without it hurting ole; try
dyspepsia and biliousness have gone.
I never felt better in my life." W. V.
Eernoves, Lincoln, 111.

STOLE A CHILD,
And Then So Cruelly Used Her as to Drive
Ber Insane.
An Atlanta despatch says: Walter Pouder,
who escaped after being charged with in-
human treatment of Zeta Clark, 13 years
old, has been arrested in Knoxville. The
girl was an inmate of the Lloyd County
poorhouse. Pouder stole her, brought her
to this city and subjectedher to most shame-
ful treatment for six (weeks. Zeta fell ill,
and Pouder was arrested for refusing togive
her medicine or send for a doctor. t'On
trial he was released for lack of evidence
and fled.
Mrs. Britton who interested herself in the
case, said they had Zeta taken to an hospi-
tal. The child grew worse, and, armed with
affidavits of the matron, Mrs. Britton laid
the case before the Governor, who offered a
reward for Pouder. Zeta, has become an
imbecile, and has been sent to the insane
• asylum at Milledgeville.
Sequel to a Crusade.
About eighteen months ago the little
town of Lathrop, Mo., was the scene of an
exciting temperance crusade. The leading
women of the town attae.ked the saloons and
smashed things generally, running the
liquids off into the gutters and driving the
saloon -keepers away. Mrs. Anna Car-
michael was then the honored wife of a resi-
dent minister, and was the leader of
the crusade. Excitement was great,
and the whole proceedings were
brought into the State courts.
Mrs. Cannichael's character was afterwards
attacked. Her husband believed the stories
and brought suit for divorce. The con-
test was long and bitter, for the wife
fought for her good name and position in
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 eciting
news referred to. Now comes the sequel
and the romance. Among the nelny 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 foetid that he
had left $50,000 to her, believing that she
was "an innocent and persecuted woman."
He further said that , while he had never
met Mrs. Brown he had knowo her family.
