EDUCATION IN PRISON.
Most encouraging results are being
reported from every prison where the
inmates are being allowed or re
quired to spend a portion of their
time in school. The superintendent
of the Maryland penitentiary declares
that illiteracy is the real cause of
many a man’s going to prison and
that removing illiteracy is one of the
best means of preventing prisoners
from being sent back to prison after
they have served their terms and
been given a new chance in life.
Most of the reports agree that the
greatest benefit resulting from the
prison schools is in developing as
piration on the part of the convicts.
This aspiration is much broader than
the mere desire to learn how to read
and write and to acquire the other
elementary instruction that is giv
en. It opens a new vista to men
inclined to be discouraged and sul
len, and the visible evidence of their
own progress is a constant encour
agement to them. We are not sur
prised at the statement that the war
den considers the school his best
constructive agency. It is but a year
and a half since men were pooh
poohing the idea of introducing re
formative processes into the Mary
land penitentiary. To such of them
as remain, the evidence of what has
been and is being accomplished
throuugh this one means of encour
agement should be a revelation.—Ex.
MORE TYPICAL
MORGAN FINANCE
Testifying before the Interstate
Commerce Commission on May 29,
J. H. Willard, president of the Bal
timore and Ohio, added ’to the story
of frenzied finance. He said that in
1909, J. I’. Morgan sold the Cincin
nati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad
to the B. and O. When Mr. Morgan
took over the C. H. and D. there were
outstanding obligations amounting to
$23,000,000 constituting a first lien
against it. Additional obligations
were then incurred, bringing the to
tal to $50,000,000, and in this condi
tion the road was sold to the B. and
O., which agreed to assume respon
sibility for this indebtedness and to
buy by the year 1916 the 80,000
shares of C. H. and D. common stock
held by J. P. Morgan & Co. at a
minimum price of $34 a share and a
maximum of $44, in accordance with
the decision of a board of arbitra
tion.
There is furthermore a legal ques
tion to be settled of the responsi
bility of the B. and O. for $7,500,000
of obligations of the Pere Marquette
road now in the hands of a receiv
er. The C. H. and D. has been un
able to meet interest on its obliga
tions for the past year and the stock
for which the B. and O. must pay
$34 a share has at present no val
ue. The transaction occurred be
fore Mr. Willard became president
of the B. and O. The road was
represented in the deal at the time
by a committee containing its then
president, Oscar Murray, and Sam
uel Rea, now president of the Penn
sylvania. Since Willard became pres
ident the B. and O. has borrowed
$81,000,000 of which $23,000,000 has
been used to rehabilitate the C. H.
and D.
“Gentlemen,” said a congressman,
“a member of this House has taken
advantage of my absence to tweak
my nose behind my back. I hope
that the next time he abuses me be
hind my back like a coward he will
do it to my face like a man, and not
go skulking in’o the thicket to assail
a gentlemen who isn’t present to de
fend himself."

MISSING LINK
FGIIND1ND LOSI
NEW YORK, July 11— Dr. How
ard A. Knox, assistant surgeon in
the United States Public Health Ser
vice, has announced that the “miss
ing link” was recently found at El
lis Island, and deported. He tol’ of
the strange individual he believes to
have been a "throw back” to the
cave man, the man Darwin wrote
about but never saw. According to
rules, the man's name may not be
made public, but he was called Jo
han, and came from Finland just
three weeks ago, and was deported
on account of constitutional infer
iority. He was of average height,
but his strength was prodigious. The
set of his body, his pendulous ab
domen and his long arms .forcibly
suggested the ape. I ndescribing Jo
han Dr. Knox says:
‘His forehead was startlingly re
ceding, his ears much lower on the
head than is normal with man, and
the top of his head was bullet round
and covered with coarse wiry hair.
The under jaw stuck out much too
far, and in place of canine teeth he
had long fangs that made his lips
protrude. During his examination
the Finn was docile and good-natured.
He had had four years schooling and
showed the mentality of a ten-year
old child. The most remarkable fea
ture of the case was the hands, which
were ape-like in nearly every partic
ular.” Dr. Knox and others who ex
amined the emigrant claim he was
a genuine man-ape.

PUNMNG TO SAVE
NATION'S BABIES
Expert Says We Do Not Know
How to Raise Children.
EXPERTS TO HELP 100,000.
Mrs. Anna 8teese Richardson Asserts
That Schools and Colleges Teach
Everything but the Mechanism of the
Little Body—Congress of Mothers
Starts Campaign.
Philadelphia. Pa.—Mrs. Anna Steese
Richardson, who has attained nation
wide fame through the successful con
ducting of “better baby” contests
throughout the country, expressed the
opinion here that the women of this
country are being trained to do every
thing except raise babies.
“Girls In the high schools and in
private schools may be taught to sew
a little, to cook a little and may know
something of biology, but when these
same girls become mothers they only
know that the baby they are so proud
MBS. ANNA STEE8E BICHABDSON.
of is something sweet, cuddling and
adorable,” said Mrs. Richardson. “They
know nothing whatever of the mechan
ism of the little body, how it should
be fed, nor how It should be clothed.
“This is not only true of the mother
of the slums, but of that great army of
mothers that belong to the middle class,
who would give their very lives for
their babies when they realize they
are the victims of ignorance.
"The great mistake of the baby sav
ing campaigns in the larger cities is
that they have been conducted for the
poor mother. To interest the mother
hi the all around development of the
child is one way to stem wastefulness,
idleness and degeneracy.”
Mrs. Richardson, who is chairman of
the hygiene committee of the National
Congress of Mothers, also said she did
not think it possible for public school
teachers to give instruction properly in
sex hygiene.
Plans were outlined whereby it is
hoped to save at least 100,000 babies
under the age of two years during the
coming year through the co-operation
of all the branches of the Congress of
Mothers. This will take the form of
better baby contests, under the aus
pices of the organization, and the dis
tribution of pamphlets and bulletins.
TO GET SCHRANK’S WEAPON.
Roosevelt Will Receive Revolver With
He Wee Weunded.
Milwaukee.—Theodore Roosevelt will
come into possession of the revolver
used by John Schrank in his attempt
upon the ex-president’s life in Mil
waukee two years ago.
Judge A. C. Backus of the municipal
court has entrusted the weapon to E.
E. Martin, one of the' stenographers
who accompanied Colonel Roosevelt at
the time of the attack. Mr. Martin
jumped upon the assailant after the
first bullet had been fired at the ex
president. He will take the weapon to
Oyster Bay and present It to Mr.
Roosevelt upon the latter’s return from
the South American trip.
The revolver still contains the six
shells placed in the chamber by
Schrank. Only one was discharged.
HOPE FOR JESSE POMEROY.

rizon of Jesse Pomeroy. boy murderer
of other children, after thirty-eight
