ejiening of a competition for designs in
which these btructures feUeuld be treated
with architectural skill. More than tifty
responses enme from all parts of the
United States, and cash prizes were
awarded te the four architects who were
thought by the judges te have united
most successfully thu demands of utility
with the lines of beauty. Sotne Miipiis
ing revelations were made us te the jkis.sI
hility of adorning ugly iron cylinders
w itli graceful garb. The first prize went
te a Milwaukee competitor, whose design
displayed an octageuul casing of stone

artificial restrictions are removed, then
women will find their own place ir the

or "speaking with tongues," as in thu

a Female flarvant.
A prison Is a convent without Oed;
Poverty, chastity, obedience Its precepts are.
The man who wrote these lines never
heard of Ludlow Street jail In New Yerk
city, or he would have modified Ills po
etical statement te n considerable de
gree. The liars and belts of the place
have held fairly well In the case, of peer
debtors, but recent developments would
seem te show that pcople with plenty of
cash have been able te get out whenever
they desired; that Is at least temporarily
and under guard of a well feed eOlccr.
The fact that serious abuses existed
within the walls of the prison, and that
the wealthy Inmates had many privi
leges denied te their impecunious neigh
bors, catne te light recently through the
medium of two investigations, ene un
dertaken by The New Yerk Herald, di
rected toward the workings of the jail,
and the ether by n committee of the New
Yerk Btale senate, directed toward the
general management of the sheriff's of
fice. As a result, Warden Keating and
several subordinates have been indicted
by it grand jury for extortion, the ac
ceptance of brihes nnd ether offenses
ngalnst the laws.
Ilefore the cxjwsure enme which re
sulted in the arrest and removal of Keat
ing and the rest of the accused efllcials
the two liest kneun prisoners in Ludlow
Street jull with Henry 8, Ives and his
partner, Stayner. A littie ever a year
age these two men made ene of the most
sensational failures of the age. They se
cured control of the Cincinnati, Hamil
ton and Dayton railway, and upon their
LUDLOW STIIKET JAIL.
"business" methods lieing revealed "went
te smash" te the tuue of $20,000,000 lia
bilities nntl very few nvuilable assets.
The legal proceedings instituted ended
in their being held te answer for their
mimleedsin bends of $250,000 each. They
could net llnd sureties, and for fourteen
months were supposed te be living thet
lifn of ordinary prisoners nt Ludlow
Street. In March of thisycarthonmeunt
of their hall was reduced; they secured
liendsmcn and walked out.
The testimony of Ives, which lie gave
reluctantly befere the senate investigat
ing committee, indicated that he and his
partner had net suffered much from their
long Incaiceratien. Hut the privileges
they enjoyed had cost money, and lets
of it.
Fer permission te remain out of jail
three days under guard until they had
arranged their privnte affairs they paid
$1,000. Beard in the prison cost them
$250 a week each; use of the parlor, 10nn
hour, anil permission te go te a funeral
accompanied by a deputy, $.10. In a
general way, nnd counting ene thing
with another, Ives swere that his meals
end privileges at Ludlow Street jail cost
him $10,000 n year. "Lodging," he add
ed, "was thrown In."
Slnce Ludlow Street jail was erected
In 1803 it has had several noted pcople
for "guests" whose records mero than
match thoie made by Ives and Stayner.
lless Tweed was the chief among thehe,
though at a later date Fish and Ward,
who ruined (Jen. Grant, enme near
wresting from him his bad eminence.
All of them fared sumptuously, but
Ward perhaps best of all, for, besides
material comforts, his nature demanded
urtibtie nutriment. He occupied tne
rooms en the ground fleer, magnificently
furnished with lounges, sofas, ottomans,
carpets and a piano. That the outside
view might harmouize with the elegance
of the interior, he caused n flower garden
te te laid out beneath his window.
Ward's iartner, Fish, get along with
less gorgeous surroundings. A fellow
prisoner who kept n diary wrete of him:
"Fish bus net get a lamp yet. He pro pre
bers Ixirrewlng te buying," The same
chronicler in a later ertry expreased ad
miration for Fish's nerve: "The old man
had just been sentenced te ten years in
state prison. Seme ene wishing te sym
pathise with him said:
" 'Mr. Fish, 1 am 6erry te hear of your
sentence.'
ONE Or THE CELLS.
" 'My dear lmy,' replied Fish, 'de net
mention it. I have been u feel nnd I
must Miller for it.'
"He gae McDonald a bunch of flow flew
era. I hate bome of the flowers. He
shook hands with every ene befere he
went down stairs."
Of quite another eert than nny of theso
mentioned, but eipiallv famous in her
way, was IleeUy Jenes, who went te
Ludlow Street jail for contempt of court.
Ilecky was the tye of a faithful servant.
On his deathbed her master told her that
disputes nbeut prejierty would certainly
fellow his dissolution, nnd dtew from
the willing woman the promUe that she
would net reveal family matters nlTect
ing the threatened litigation.
The law suits came, ilecky was called
nsu witness and told the judge she would
net answer the questions put te her till
the day of the rosuirectieu, The judge
was compelled te elder her incarcera
tion, and wliilein jull she was the heroine
of the hour and the recipient of every
attention from aristocratic ladies who
were delighted te honor her loyalty.
She never told what she knew, but in
due course of timebecurnl rele.ise, de
spite her contumacy.
As mentioned Mere, Ludlow Street
Jail was built tu 18C2. It was, nnd is
jet te a certain extent, it debtor's prison,
but people may be confined there for
ether causes, such as non-payment of
alimony, contempt of court, breach of
preml.-e and offenses ugaiustthe United

Cincinnati, April 8. The introduction
In the United States senate seme days

an appropriation for the preservation of
certain old forts along the ilaumee river,
and for the erection of monuments en
tile sites of these already destroyed te
make room for the spread of the cities
that have grown up around them, opens
up an Interesting chapter in the history
of that part of the old northwest terri
tory. The influence back of the hill is
the Maumee VallcyMeuumenUil associa
tion, nn organization with headquarters
at Teledo, whose president is Itutherferd
D, Hayes, who was elected te succeed
the late Chief Justice Watte, who was
president at the tlme of his death. The
secretary is Jehn C. Ix-e, of Teledo.
The vice presidents are Hen. H, S. ltoh lteh ltoh

The association has lieen engaged for
live years in efforts te secure possession
of the most important historical points,
such ns forts and battle, grounds in thu
Muttmee valley, nnd te have them marked
hy stlttahla monuments. It has been du
elled that the following nre worthy of

Of these Forts Industry, Miami, Defi

field of Fallen Timbers were strategic
KjntH or points of defeuse or offense in

1701, and nil figured conspicuously in tha
war of 1812, Their location IsceneCtly

Afler the defeat of (Jen. St. Clair, Nev.
i, 1790, the Indians, inflamed hy hatred
and encouraged hy hiicivbws, committed
the most outrageous depredations and
the grossest barbarities en the settlets.
Unsuccessful campaigns against them
only stimulated their carnage, nnd in
17H3 den. Antheny Wayne was charged
with abating it.
Hu was n cautious soldier, who waited
for advantage and then made lield dashes
for victory. His great vigilance wen
him thu iKime of "Black Snake" from
the Indians, mid the vigor of his lighting
when he was ussuicd of the advantage
nuether of "Hurricane." Fer the same
trait he had long been known as Mad An An
teony. Gen. Wnyue advanced from Fert
Washington (Cincinnati), te Fert Green-
ille (Greenville, Ohie), w hence he sent a
detachment te take possession of the
position lest by St. Clair. This w-:is ac
complished and a nuw feit built called
Fet t l'ecevery. Wnvne then continued
his adinuce against the tillage of the
Miami tribe.aud en Aug. 0, 1701, leached
thu coullueiice of the Auglaize and the
Miami of the Lakes (Maumee) rivers,
where he erected Feil Dellance, giving
it n iiatna nppropilate te the conditions
of its building and destined te peipctu
ity in the name of the present citveuthu
site.
Thu traces of this fort nre still well de
fined. It is situated in the angle of the
Maumee and Auglaize livers, and has
leen subjected te semu injury by the
eiosieu of the waters, which have washed
away poitieiwof thu neithein and cast
em salients, and tha point is slowly ie
cediug. It is proponed te mink the spot
by a grauitu monument, with a suitable
Inscription, for which it is estimated
..'.iWOuill lie Bufllclent.
Frem Feit Defiance Gen. Wayne, un
der Instructions from Washington, of
fered the Indians peuce. In a council of
Indians, LittluTnrtle, a chief who is said
te have been possessed of statesmanship
that would have wen him fame in diplo
matic circles of Lureieau courts, advised
Ik-ace. His counsel were overthrown
hy thu younger chiefs, who heisted of
previous icteries.
Tuitlu cautioned tliem against the new
warrior that the Father nt Washington
had sent against them, but they were
obstinate and voted for war. Gen. Wayne
advanced and pitched his camp near
Water ille. Thu next day (Aug. 20, 1701)
hegavuhattlu te the Indians, whoueie
intrenched iehiud some high trees that
had been prostrated by ti tornado, w heiice
the name of thu Battle of Fallen Tim
liers. The Indians were eerwhclmingly
defeated, and Gen. Weyne putsued them
several miles, even under thu guns of the
Uiitlsh Fert Miami.
Gen. Wuj ue passed by the fort of Mi
ami, then gai riseued by the British, and
moved down the river te the mouth of
Swan creek, where hu constructed a mil
itary fort, which, owing te the industry
of his army in itsconstructieu, lie named
Fert Industry.
This fort Gen, Wayne garrisoned nnd
it was occupied for a number of years.
Its dimensions were about 200 hy 150
feet, ami its site is new In the busiest
part of the city of Teledo, at the in
tersection of Menreo street nnd Sum
mit aenue. All trace of it wns long
age obliterated, hut the fact of its loca
tion nt the point indicated is preserved
in the designation of a block of buildings
named Fert Industry block. It Is pro-pe-cd
te mark the (.pet hy the erection
of a grauite monument with a suitable
iueciiptieu. If the city will gie the
privilege for thu use of tha street corner
for the purpose, it is estimated the mon
ument can be put in position for $5,000.
Fert Miami, which was first established
as a trading pest In 1C80, and occupied
for military purjieses subsequently by
the British, and abandoned by them
aftvr the treaty of 1705, is the eldest of
all these historical points. The north

still in a fair state of preservation.
The river front lias been destroyed. Tha
site is part et the plot of Maumee City,
cccupying nlwut 0 68-100 acres. Part of
it is orchard. It is estimated that the
site can be purchased for $3,500, and that
a $5,000 monument in granite will suffice
te mark the location of the fort.
The area embraced by the battle of
Fallen Timbers is about twelve and one
third acres, which it is proposed te pur
chase, at an estimated cost of $100 an '
acre, and te erect nt a conspicuous point
n grnnite monument, no as te bring the
total cost within $5,000.
Uien the completion of Fert Industry
Gen. Wayne led his army back up the
river te the village of the Mlamls, and
there, en Oct, 22, a fort having been
completed, fifteen rounds of cannon
were fired and the fort named Fert
Wayne. It was located en the highest
land in the state of Indiana, and this
has given the name of the "Summit
City" te the city new there. Wayne

A considerable portion of the site of

THE ASSOGKaVnON.
W. I. Harris Tells About Its
Three New Clubs.
BROOKLYN, KOCIIF.STER.HTRACUSG
DedaetleM Drawn from Their Makcnp as
te new Ttiey Ar Likely te Rank la the
sei Osn. Brlnkar, tl Baddlng Mag-
NewYerk stabs has three teams tn the
American Association one at Brooklyn, one
at Rochester and one at Hyraeuse. When It
was first announced that the Association
would be represented In these cities, there
was a geed deal of fun mads of their chances
et getting teams that would make any show
ing. Many et the jokers seemed te Imagine
that net one of the three cities would hare
any license te aspire te' the pennant or even
te a place in the first dlvUlen. Tha jokers
have since then taken te the weeds. They
underestimated the hustling qualities and the
financial resources et Messrs. Kennedy, Pow
ers and Prnzcr, the rexx;ctlve managers for
Brooklyn, Rochester and Syracuse.
Manager Kennedy's Brooklyn team will be
made up of Rclrmlngnr, Herman l'ltz, Frank
Bewes and Jimmy Tey for catchers; Jack
Lynch, Htevn Toek-, J, V. rowers nnd several
untrained "kids" for pitchers. Thn hiflvM
consists of Billy O'Brien, first base; Jee Ocr
hardt, second base; l'itzer Ocbs.Jihlrd base;
Frank Fennel Iy, short step and captain, Thu
outfielders am bailey, lVUz and Simen. With'
the exception et Powers nnd Uchs all et thetu
men are known nationally, ami they are
pretty apt te give a geed account et them
selves In the field. Their journalistic man
ager, Jim Kennedy, has had experience, net
as a manager of ball plajers, but In similar
lines, and is fully cqulpiicd with the qualities
that go te mnke up tlie successful baseball
manager. The new Brooklyn club will have
a pretty hard tlme, because it will be placed
between two fires, and j et I expect te see
Kennedy and his partners make money, in
spite of the handicaps.
In the first place he has a very geed team
and ene that will mnke a fairly geed fight.
It ought net te de worse than sixth, and may
de hotter if its pitchers turn out well. Sec
ondly, It will have a twcnty-flve cent tariff,
and thirdly, it will have the advantnge of
Sunday games. At present the Broekl)n
Americans conflict twonty-sevon times with
the League and Brotherhood, but Manager
Kennedy is arranging certain changes that
will cut down the nimilier te fifteen. It will
be seen that Manager Kennedy's msitien
with a low tariff Is net a boil ene. There are
a great raatiy people In Brooklyn w he will
net give up fifty cents for a I ml I game; some
of them tiecause they cannot afford, ami Mime
of them tiecause they hnve been in the hjlbii,
of seeing first class ball for a quarter and
cannot or will net understand why they
should glve any mero. Kennedy Is very apt
te l a winner If his team plays geed avcrugn
ball, and doesn't drop down te tlie tail end at
the very start.
And whnt has Manager Powers get In the
way of a team at Rochester! Well, ene big
argument Is the man who doesn't play, P. 1.
himself, or, asovery one calls him, Tat Pow
ers, lie is a manager whose shrewdness and
ability have raised him up from the ranks.
He handles players with n skill that produces
great results. He has, I think, get a better
team than Kennedy, and is pretty sure te
land thorn in the first division, and pessll1y
finish ns geed as third. His thrce catchers
are Jimmy McOuirc, the ex-leaguer; I). J.
McKoeugh nnd 1). L. Burke. All these are
geed men, McGulre being Al. Rebert B.irr,
J. J. Fitzgerald and J. Wells will de the
pitching. Tlie latter Is an experiment, but
highly recommended. Powers tells me that
he will prove a wonder, which means that
Pat has seen htm at work, and that he has
mero than ordinary premise.
Beb Burr wns with Rochester last year nnd
was formerly a League pitcher with the
Washington team. Beb and I were boys to te to
gethor In Washington, where we both saw
the light of day. I can recollect that nt
school he was a terror en speed pitching, and
he has i etained the trult. He will de geed
work for Rochester. Fitz-jr-niliHs compara
tively unkuenn nationally, but he made
geed showing at Wilkebarre, and Powers
thinks him u ttayer.
The infield consists of Tem O'Brien, Billy
Oreenwoed, Jim Kuewles nud Mair I'liillijis,
It Is n geed one, and se Is tlie outfield, where
Harry Lyens, "Handy" Orilllu nnd Temmy
Sheiller will leek after files nnd chase long
hits. All of theso men nre batters of mero
ability than tlie average
Rochester this year furnishes n magnate
who will be heard from later if all accounts
are correct. He ts Uen. Henry Brinker, p'res
ldent of the club and the new vice president
of the American Association. Uen. Brinker
has grit, ns his career shows. A native of
Mecklenburg, Germany, he emigrated te
America w hen a uiru boy. He did errands
alieut the decks nnd finally lioeaiuo an nttache
et a butcher shop. Then he weut into the
produce business and saved his earnings.
Soen he bought a fctall at the Washington
market ami liegau business for himself. He
rondo money, tee. He still onus that stall
and draws un iueeiuu from ic. During the
war he made a fortune as contractor for
army supplies.
He served In tlie state militia as colonel of
tha Kifty-feurth regiment nnd took part in
active service. At the cIemi of the wnr he
commanded an nrtillery company. He went
te Rochester nud has become ene of its most
substantial citizens. Hu is it director in the
Reme, Watertown nnd Ogdensburg rnllread;
Is Interested in several broueiies and owns a
distillery for making spirits from fruit. His
wealth is estimated nt a quarter of a million.
Self made men nre tenacious, and Uen.
Brinker may lie rolled en te stick te baseball
a long time and leso a gejd deal of meney
befere he crit's quits.
Syracuse will have a team that is in seme
respects an Improvement en any it has had
for Beveral years. Tlie new manager-magnate
there is Oeerge K. Frazer, a young man with
lufticieut finnnclil lacking te carry out his
plans and an abundance et nervous energy
that makes such a slew man as Ven der Alie
limply shudder. Mr, Frazer is entirely new
te tinsehall, but if hustle and energy will iu
he ought te de se. He has this team te help
deit. (Irani llriggs and Put Dealy, catchers;
leth geed ineu. Bnggs made n geed show
ing at Worcester nud Uealy has been a Na
tional league catcher who ene time was
classed iu A. Teby Ljeus, J. T. Keefe. Dan
Casey, Bud Ramsey and Joe MeCsbe will
leek after tha pitching, and they will render
a geed account of themselves. If Casey's arm
Is nil right he will be one of the stars of the
Association. Lack of ceurage only killed
him as a leaguer. McQ.iery, lb.; Clnlds,
8h.; Joe Uattln, ob., and McLaughlin, s. s.,
is the infield, with Fred Ely, W d. Wiight
and Mike Bergau hi the outfield.
Taken altogether, New Yerk state is well
re presented In tlie Association. This year no
ene of them can be expected te fluUh better
than fourth or fifth, Is-cause it is their first
jour, and because Columbus, Ipuisville and
the Athletics have well organized clubs
Itli very strenj tennis. Tlua clubs, ascon ascen ascon

three. The teams aie;

catchers; Qastright Easter and WIdner,
pitchers; Lehane, first base; Creeks, second
base and captain; Riley, third base; Ester
day, short 6tep; Deyle, McTamtnany and
Jehnsen, fielders; A, C. Buckeuberger, man

Seward and McMaben, pitchers; O'Brien,

What St. Leuis aud Teledo will de is at

have premising teams. Teledo has the best

hustle everybody. Personally I wouldn't at
tempt te place them anywhere, because there

HANDSOME NEW BONNETS."

LATEST STYLES IN HEAD WEAR.

(Special Correspondence.)
New Yerk, April 3. Llke Tennyson's
lnoek, the bonnet gees en forever, and
though this season it is net exactly Reek
ing new heights te surmount, it still
maintains its own wltt regard te price
nnd becemingncss. I must admit that
I don't think the lower shapes of this
season half as chie or becoming aa theaa
we were all abusing se. Still, when you
happen te see a pretty face surmounted
by a wrcatli of tulle and blue ferget-me-nets
just the color of a pretty pair of
eyes, veu nre about ready te give iu that
the present styles are certainly net ugly.
IIUAIIT DltKAKKUS.
The newest and perhaps the most sty
lish of the bonnets are the crownless
ones. They have a Bert of twisted coro
net of tulle or crape, lace or velvet,
somewhat in the form of a horseshoe,
leaving an open space through which the
hair shows and where the fancy comb
stands up aggressively. Strings of rib
bon te match tie under the chin.
Many of these crownless bonnets have
the whole front made of smalt flowers
like daisies, buttercups, lilies et the val
ley or ferget-me-nets or small rosebuds,
and the strings match the color of the
flowers. These bonnets will be mero
worn in theatres, et receptions, for car
riage and church than en the premenade,
though they are net prohibited there
cither.
One lovely bonnet lias n foundation of
pink silk lace, rising in puffs quite high
nbove the forehead, ami nestling among
the puffs of lncc nnd under the sprays of
apple blossoms is a small blackbird. The
strings nre of black velvet ribbon.
A very handseme bonnet for a matron
was shown, made with a full bandeau of
prune colored velvet.This stuck full of
littie geld nnd jet pins. The crown was
open, only covered with dotted net, the
dots outlined with geld thread. There
was a lace butterfly, wired stiff and
worked with purple chenille and geld
thread, and prune velvet strings. The
whole is n rich and elegant bonnet, and
must have cost the milliner as much aa
$2, se that the price, $23, was really quite
reasonable.
Chip, in black, brown, dark blue and
beige colors, nre very fashionable for
young ladies, nnd they are of every im
aginable form, only that they have rath
er low crowns. Ribbons, feathers and
flowers nre nil used as trimmings, and
all are in vogue. Hatpins are really
quite objects of art and handseme enough
for breeches.
Transparent hats of lace will lie very
popular, as, indeed, they ought te b,
being light, cool nnd most becoming.
The frame is made of wire, ever which
is drawn a single thickness of black net.
The lace, which can be plain Brussels net
or dotted or figured lace, is then shirred
en loosely ever crown and brim, the
edge of the brim having cither a deuble
ruflle of net or a gathered fall of figured
lace. Strings of lace or tulle are fastened
te the back and are brought down in
front te tie. The trimming of flowers is
thrown carelessly en the crown and al
lowed te fall forward in a natural posi
tion. A pretty new caprice is te have a home
toilet or tea gown made of jet .black
China crepe, with the front of pale pink,
blue or cream crepe. The novelty con
sists in using black crepe for the gown.
It, however, is a lovely, soft fabric, glossy

nnd rich, nnd it drapes in the clinging
folds that are new the style. The pretty
tea gown here presented has the prin
cesse kick in the black China crepe, and
the front is in shell pink China crepe,
with the edge embroidered in black and
geld. A pretty pink pearl buckle and
Hots of ribbon ndd elegance te the grace
ful drapery of the front.
I saw another of these new black crepe
dresses which luid an embroidery all
around in key pattern in silver. Anether,
again, had a trimming of ruby velvet
applique all around the train and up the
front, which was of ruby crepe. The
material 1ms always beeu known, but it
new takes the place of a new discovery,
as it lias never been made up into gowns
before. OuynTlAnrna.
The Dllllcnlly of Concealment.
The world is generally considered a
pretty big aggregation of land and water,
but it doesn't seem large enough te fur

they were shocked te learn that he was

was net his intention te return. Mc
