Year's Meeting.
ADDRESSES AT THE EVENING SESSIOX
The third day of the Congress of the
National Prison Association Aas the most
interesting since the opening session.
About 130 members and delegates were
ireent -.vhen General It. B. Hayes, Presi
dent ot the Association, called the morning
session to order at Carnegie Hall yesterday.
In opening the meeting Mr. Hayes briefly
congratulated the congress upon the beauti
ful Indian summer weather and the oppor
tunities presented for bettering the con
dition of criminals confined in the penal
institutions of the country. Following
this short prologue Itev. Father Voight, of
Kcw.Tersey.onered an impressive invocation.
The regular programme was then taken
up commencing with the report of the
Committee on Criminal law .Reform, con
sisting of Francis AVayland, of New Haen,
Conn., Charles H. lleevcs, of Plymouth,
Ind., and Henderson M. Somcrville, Mont
gomery Ala. Judge "Way land responded
lor the committee, and upon being intro
duced read a lengthy and interesting paper
on the subject. The address, coming from
the dean of Yale law school, received, as it
deserved, the closest attention. The
question of better emigration laws, speedy
trials and certain punishment for offenders,
prison labor, terms of imprisonment, educa
tion, association of the yonngwith hardened
criminals and permanent reformation were
ail ably discussed.
CAJJE FOR CHILD CRIMINALS.
A discussion of the question, "How shall
the children of vicioin or cruel parents be
prevented from becoming criminals?" fol
lowed, in which CoL GardnerTufts, of "VVar
nerillc, Mass., made the principal speecli.
Brief and interesting informal talks on the
same subject were also made by "W. M. F.
Hound, State Inspector of Prisons in New
York; Mr. "Washburn, of Ohio; Judge Brin
kerhoff, of Mansfield, O., and Mr. Fulton,
of Tennessee Iter. Father "Wright,
who was on the program for a
paper on -'The Earliest Prevention
of Crime in the Smallest Children."
apologized for not having his address com
pleted, and was requested to present it at a
future session. He took occasion, however,
to discuss the subject at some length. Short
j-peeches on the same subject were also
made by Rev Mr. Green, of Indiaua, Chap
lain Howell, of .Nebraska, He v. T. K.
P.eecher, of Elmira, X. Y.; Miss Carey, of
Boston: Itev. Father Canevin, of Pittsburg,
and others. Judge "Wayland was speaking
on tl e subject of intemperance and its in
fluence on the criminal classes when the
hour for adjournment arrived.
The excursion to Riverside and Davis
Island dam in the afternoon on the steamer
Mayflower was a delightful trip. President
George A- Kelly nnd the other memders of
the local Entertainment Committee had
provided well for the comfort and pleasure
of their distinguished guests. "When the
boat left the "Wood street wharf there were
about 200 persons aboard, including the
members and ladies. The Cathedral Band
discoursed lively airs as the good ship
floated down, and all were much interested
in the busy industries which line the river
banks.
INSPECTED THE rENITEXTIAItY.
Two of the "Western members said that it
was their first experience aboard a steam
boat. Arriving at the wharf at Riverside,
"Warden "Wright conducted the partv to the
main entrance of the "WesternPennsylvania
Penitentiary, where arrangements had
been fully made for a complete inspection
of the institution by the entire congress.
Dividing the party into several squads of
about 30 each, the "Warden so arranged that
all could have ample time and opportucity
to examine every department without
overcrowding any of the workshops or
other apartments visited. "Warder.
"Wright and ex-President Haves headed
the first division that entered " the prison
department from the main corridor. The
workshops where matting and brooms are
manufactured were first viiited.
Everything was working like clock
work. The men were found to be under
thorough discipline, the machinery was in
perfect orderand the shops were as neat and
ciean as a panor. Ureat interest was taken
in the manufacture of door and window
mats and office and church matting, which
is made of the fiber of cocoanut hulls, and
woven in fanciful figures of many colors.
The women's building, hospitals, en
gine room-:, cell departments, ven
tilating apparatus, commissarv rooms
bakery, dungeon-: and all other
apartments of the institution were
visited and fully explained hv the "Warden
and his deputies. Everywhere the same
gopd order was found "and the visiting
jirison officials universally pronounced it
the finest penal institution in America.
Befo'-e leaving the j-ard a large photograph
of the members of the congress was taken
while they stood on the lawn with
uncovered heads and the wall of the prison
for a background.
SOUVENIRS TO ALL VISITOKS.
Upon re-entering the main corridor "War
den Wright distributed souvenirs of the
visit among thejnembers in the form of
large combination photographs, containing
a group of scenes about the penitentiarv.
It was after 5 o'clock when the May
flower pulled away from the wharf at
Riverside and started for Davis Island
Dam. An elaborate dinner had been
spread in the dining room by J. B.
Schlosser, and covers had been" laid for
serving almost the entire party
at once. The boat tied up
at the dam while the dinner
was being served, after which all went on
deck and witnessed the steamer Bennett,
with half dozen barges in tow, pass up
through the lock.
On the return trip a meeting of the Ex
ecutive Committee was held on the
boat fcr the purpose of selecting a
place for the next Cangress. Denver and
Baltimore w ere the only competitors for the
prize and the latter won with hands down.
The committee promised to take the con
gress to Denver in 1894, all agreeing upon
Chicago ior '93.
Ex-President Hayesy who has visited
many of the most prominent penal in
stitutions in this country had never before
been through he "Western Penitentiary.
He said to a DISPATCH reporter coming up
to the city that he agreed with all he had
talked to on the subject, that it is the best
penitentiary ia points of construction and
management in America.
a rmsou to be pboud or.
"Warden Nicholson, of the Trenton, X J.,
Penitentiary, said that he had heard of the
"Western Pennsylvania Penitentiary ever
since he had been engaged in prison work,
jnd that it was everywhere held up as the
expectations, and was without Amte iSl
model. He said it more than fulfilled his
finest institution of the kind in the world
.. . . .. '. - . - T .., ,
Others were equally enthusiastic in their
praise.
In the evening the session was held in
the lecture room of Carnegie Hall. The
meeting was devoted to the "Warden's As
sociation. A large number "were present,
and ex-President Hayes presided. The first
paper of the evening was on "The Identifi
cation of Prisoners," by Joseph Nicholson,
president of the "Warden's Association and
Superintendent of the House of Correction
of Detroit, Mich. Owing to Mr. Nicholson
being ill, the paper was read bv It. W. Mc
Clanghrv, Chief of Police of
Chicago, 111., formerly warden of the
Joliet Penitentiary. The paper was
a strong indorsement of the Bertillon sys
tem. Mr. Nicholson's paper was followed by a
paper on "Criminal Statistics," by Prof.
Roland P. Falkner, of the University of
Pennsylvania. The paper was on compar
isons as to age, sex, color, nationality and
education of criminals gathered from cards
prepared for the purpose for each prisoner,
s-upplied by 37 institutions in the United
States for the year 1890. Cards, it was
stated, were returned fcr 9,858 prisoners.
Of these 1,G32 were males and 227 females.
The figures were drawn almost exclusively
from penitentiaries and less than 4 per cent
of the prisoners included in the
tables were sentenced for a
shorter period than one year.
1932. Or 20 npr ppnt.. vpw nnlnrpd though
I Texas, North Carolina, Maryland and Ken
tucky were me only states soutn ot iuason
and Dixon's line that figured in the list.
In 1880, there was onlv 12 per cent, of the
entire population colored. About 20 per
cent, of the convicts were foreign born,
though in 1SS0 the foreign born iormed 13
per cent, of the population. About two
thirds of the prisoners were under 30 years
of age. This, however, changes in
the different localities. In the west
the ages are greater. In . Nevada
two-thirds are over 30 years.
SOME INTERESTING STATISTICS.
The unmarried are in the majority 0,779
out of 9,858 being single 7,671 are able to
read and w rite. Among the crimes commit
ted, 7,457 were against property, or about
75 per cent. The different races'of foreign
bom convicts showed a difference as to
crime. Of 14 "Welshmen only 7 were con
victed of crimes against propertv. while of
44 Scotchmen, 38 were convictedSif crimes
against property. A larger percentage of
crimes against "the person were committed
by the Irish than by the German. Of 17
Hungarians, 10 were convicted of crimes
against the person, and 61 Italians out of 99
were convicted of similar offenses. The

At the conclusion of the paper on motion
of Major McClaughry a committee com
posed of Messrs. Massie, Cassidy, McMil
len. Tufts and Case was appointed to take
the two preceding papers and make a report
on them at a meeting of the association to
be held this morning.
THE PRISONS OF EUROPE.
J.ne next paper was
next paper was by Michael
J. Cassidy, "Warden of the
Enstern Penitentiary at Phiadelphia.
It was on "Prisons I Visited in Ireland,
England, France and Belgium and "What I
Saw!" The paper was practically a report
upon the principal prisons of Europe, from
a personal inspection made by Warden
Cassidy last year, between June, and Octo
ber. He described all the great
prisons of England, Ireland France
and Belgium", giving style of
architecture, dimensions, material of struct
ure and the plans and systems of govern
ment, and drew for this country a very fa
vorable comparison.
The next paper on the list was from John
H. Patterson, warden of the State Prison
at Trenton, N. J. Owing to the lateness of
the hour, however, the reading of it was
postponed until this morning.
In his paper Mr. Patterson will dwell
especially upon the parole system of New
Jersey.
"At the session of 1889," says the report,
"I drafted a law embodying a clause requir
ing three years' citizenship prior to con
viction in oruer to Decome eligible to
parole, and it met with the Governbr's ap
proval. Before its passage it was amended
topreclude prisoners convicted of certain
crimes murder, arson, burglary, etc, not
previously convicted. Others were allowed
to go on parole, but subject to be taken
back for violatv the conditions of their
parole and treated as an escaped prisoner.
That act was approved May 13, 1891.
AN UNHEALTHY STATE OF AFFAIRS.
"In the New Jersey prison there are 900
prisoners. Sixty-six cells have two prison
ers in them instead of one, and 94 cells have
305 prisoners, an average of more than three
men to each. This is unhealthy, morally
and physically, and in violation of the State
law, and to parole a moderate number of
the best prisoners would be a great benefit.
The question of the constitutionality of the
law, nowever, was not settled in my mind,
and the Attorney General of the State was
asked for an opinion. He cited rulings of the
Supreme Court to show that the Board of
prison inspectors, who were the ones to de
termine and issue the parole, had no power
whatever to do so legally, that the courts
in sentencing a prisoner for a term meant
that term to lie served. By reason of this
adverse opinion the law became inopera
tive. I submitted another law in 1891 pro
viding that when the court of pardons met
for the purpose they were to be constituted
a court of parole, and the keeper of State
prison was to be one of its members. It
passed to third reading and was then with
drawn and another substituted and passed.
It is now in operation and provides that the
Court of Pardons shall issue the parole on
terms it deems proper and signed by the
Governor. The prisoner will be released
only when he is assured of employment, on
account of old age or severe illness. He
will still be considered in custody and so
long as he keeps the conditions as to eood
behavior of his parole, will be allowed to
remain at large.
"The increase of crime has been stated as
the preponderance in 1890 of one in every
500 or less in population, as over or against
one in every 3,500 in 1880. Whether it is
due to immigration of pauper criminals or
to moral degeneration in society, it should
have an influence on the policy of parole.
In accord with the evidence adduced and in
answer to philanthropic demand, public
opinion has declared in favor of n nrnl
system. It should be given a fair trial under I
tue wings ot a republican lorm of govern
ment. An important question is, who
should be paroled; not the hardened crim
inal who repeatedly violates the laws, nor
those convicted of foul and dastardlv out
rages. On the other hand, there are" those
who are not so wicked as weak. In this
class may be mentioned those who steal
from absolute want, or those who are in
fluenced by the strong minds of others to
commit crime.
HELP FOR THE PAROLED MAN.
"When outside the prison the paroled
criminal should be given assistance in any
effort to reform. In New York State the
Prison Association helps the released con
vict. In Michigan the county agent of the
State Board of Charities is paid to do that
work. Could not some member of theY.
M. C. A. be engaged to do it in each State?
The purse as well as the morals
of paroled prisoners is deserving of re-enforcement.
The total of 3 per cent of their
wages should be allowed them on their exit
from prison as a preventative to return to
crime which might result from want. So
ciety should be prepared for their reception

found a failure in individual application it
should be finally determinable so far as that
individual is concerned. He should not be
placed in a false position where a discovery
would add to prej udice against him. "
The United States is the first nation in
the world to have three oitles of over 1.000 000
each. '
ALL FOR ACHICKEN.
A Blan Kept Out ot the Use of Ills Farm
for Twenty Years Because or a Minor
law Suit Kegular Picnic for the
lawyers.
This story is all about a chicken, and it
rivals in interest the narrative of 'Squire
Wilson, of Sewickley, concerning two pros
perous farmers who wrecked themselves
fighting over two joints of stovepipe worth
35 cents.
Some 23 years ago J. B. Wilson, of Moon
township, owned a life interest in a farm of
102 acres in that township, the property
falling to his wife and children at his death.
He was also the proud possessor of a fine
chicken cock, breeu in the Japse of time for
gotten. One day this rooster strayed away
from his owner's premises, and whether
rightfully or not, Mr. Wilson blamed a
neighbor James McCormick, with the
wanton and willful murder of the fowl, and
as Mr. McCormick refused to pay for it,
Wilson sued him for $10 damages before a
Twelfth ward Alderman, and got judgment
ior the amount claimed.
Animated by the spirit of John Hampden
and that other fellow, who was willing to
give millions for defense out not one cent
tor tribute, McCormick appealed the case
to the Common Pleas, where it "will be
found numbered 1,142, June term, 1809.
Wilson hired Robert Woods & Son to pros
ecute his claim, and the defendant, McCor
mick, employed N "W. Shafer. The jury
rendered a verdict for defendant, and as
Wilson refused to pay the costs, 102, the
sheritt sold his iarra.
Sometime previous to this Wilson had
assigned his farm to his wife, but Samuel
Shaner, the Diamond Market restaurant
man, had previously secured a judgment
against Wilson for 580, and he bought the
farm at Sheriff's sale for about twice the
amount of his judgment. There were some
other trifling claims against the property,
and Shaner told "Wilson that as soon as he,
(Shaner) had recouped himself that he
(Wilson) might have the property back.
It consists of 112 acres and improvements.
Wilson rejected the overture and brought
suit in ejectment to recover, and Shaner
resisted and employed J. K. P. Duff to
fight Wilson's claim. Wilson engaged
three attorneys, John Ttobb, Snively and
McCormick. Shaner simply offered the
record in the previous complication and on
it won with hands down, so another bill of
costs settled on Wilson.
Shaner, having no particular. use for the
property, next sold his life interest
in it to a man named Ketterer for $400, and
Mr. Ketterer has had the use of it for 16
years at 525 a year and taxes, and as Wilson
shows no signs of shuffling off this mortal
coil for many vears to come. Ketterer's pros
pects of future emolument appeared quite
good. Wilson year after year made spas
modic signs of making trouble, but as no
further suita were entered, it was finally
supposed that he had accepted the inevita
ble and the matter was gradually falling
into oblivion.
Within a few days, however, a fresh
cloud has arisen on Ketterer's horizon.
One day last week he was visited by a
deputy sheriff) and as he had no pitch hot,
there was an exciting time, and now there
is another ejectment suit on hand. It seems
likely to be a somewhat complicated affair,
as Shaner's judgment has never been
marked "satisfied" on the record. The
trouble is certain to outlast some of the
parties in interest, and, like the Rattigan
controversy over the Grant street property,
may outlast all those originally engaged,
either as principals or attorneys.
The storv contains a moral for the guid
ance of aldermen and justices of the peace.
Had the alderman either given judgment
for the defendant or for the market value
of the chicken, leaving "smart" damages
out of sight, Mr. Wilson would probably
have abandoned the case -and have been in
possession of his farm all these 20 odd
years, but then the legal profession would
not have made as much money.
PEESECUTED EVEN IN AMERICA.
Hebrew Peddlers in Louisiana Compelled
to Relinquish Their Calling.
New Orleans, Oct 12. A business in
Louisiana which had attained to largj pro
portions, but which had been almost killed
by the lottery campaign, is peddling.
This has been mostly in the hands of the
Hebrews. They did a good business, which
seems to have aroused the ill feeling of
some of the small country storekeepers.
To them the peddlers attribute the report
that the peddlers are emissaries of the lot
tery, going around to buy up votes. This
story, for which there is not the slightest
founaationj has been generally believed by
the more bitter opponents of the lottery
company, and dire threats have been heard
against the peddlers.
The Hebrews engaged in this business are
having a rough time of it, and they find it
dangerous to travel in somn parts of the
Stats. From one parish, Avoyelles, where
they formerly did a large business, they
have been warned by the following poster:
"Warnine to Peddlers! All Transient and
Tramp Peddlers, Regardless of Race or
Color, caught peddling goods of any kind
in this, Avoyelles Parish, after September
1, 1891, will be dealt with in a Summary
Manner. 'We, the People,' Mean Busi
ness." Thi3 warning, reiterated at every
street corner, has been sufficient to keep
the peddlers away from Avoyelles; but
they object strenuously to this on the
round that they have bought licenses to do
usinesi in that parish. They have applied
to District Attorney Andrews lor protec
tion, and will present a petition to Gov-'
ernor Nicholls asking for his interference.
KOCH'S DISCOVERY.
A remedy discovered Hint Is of
for
greater efficacy than tho
noted lymph.
The tubercle bacilli were discovered
Prot. Koch, to be constantly present in
11
cases of consumption. "Where tho blood is
impoverished or impure, there results that
constitutional condition known as scrofula,
which is characterized by the liability of
certain tissues to become the seat of chronic
inflammations and enlargements.
Theso troubles may start as catarrh in the
nasal passages, throat or lungs, and as the
membranes become weakened, the tubercle
baccilli enter, and multiply, and vre have, as
a result, that dread diseaseConsumption.
Find a perfect remedy for scrofula, in all
its forms something that purifies the blood,
as well as claims to. That, if it's taken in
time, will cure Consumption. It has been
found in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery. As a strength-restorer, blood-cleanser,
and flesh-builder, nothing like it is known to
medical science. For Scrofula. Bronchial,
Throat, and Lung affections. Weak Lungs,
severe Coughs, and kindred ailments, it's the
only remedy so sure that it can be guaran
teed. If it doesn't benefit or cure, your
money is refunded.
