THE NEW CONVICT LAW STATD HOARD OP CHARITIES THINK IT PERNICIOUS IN RESULTS. Ex-Prisoners Dumped nt the Scene of Tbclr Crimea Without Friends or 3Ioney. The State Board of Charities, in its annual report now In preparation, has something to say concerning the act of the last Legislature which provides that a prisoner discharged from a penitentiary shall be returned to the county whence he came. The members of the board havo regarded this law as a hardship to the prisoners and pernicious in Its results. Secretary Bicknell in the report says: v "An act of the Legislature of 1803 provided that, upen the completion of their terms in the State prisons for men, convicts shall be returned to the counties in which they were convicted and there discharged. The act further prohibited the State, or the counties in which prtsoners-may be convicted, from paying to them any money upon their discharge. It Is probable that the objects in view in the enactment of this law were commeniable, but its provisions are such that in operation it works hardship and evil. Under a former law convicts, upon their discharge from prison, were released at the prison door and given $13 in money, with which to purchase clothing and pay the expenses of returning home. Years of experience demonstrated this law to be Inadequate. Discharged prisoners remained In the vicinity of the prison for days and weeks, preying upon other convicts as they were released from clay to day, each with his small sum of money. Prisoners who left the rri3on intending to return home and resume lives of honesty and Industry were thus met uicn their release by Idle and vicious men, who pr3uaded them to abandon all idea of reform and plunge asrain into dissipation, ilkness and crime. There is no doubt that many yemng men have been drawn back into crime upon their release from prison unier these conditions, who wculd otherwise have returned home arvl become honorable citizens. This evil, which had grown up under the old law, was serlou enough to demand a legislative rermdy. The remedy adopted, however, by the Legislature of while effectually destroying the evil aimed at, brought into existence another find not less serious one. PENNILESS AND DISTRUSTED. "Under the new law prisoners are carried to trie countks from which they were sent to prison, and there released at the Jail door, often without money or friends. Upon his release the prisoner Is, first of all, confronted with a need for food, clothing and scltcr. If hla home is In the county in which he was convicted this need can usually be met without hardship. If, however, a is frequently true, the prisoner's home is el?ewlure, the conditions of his release are most severe. Penniless, -recognized in the community only ua a criminal, distrusted on all hands by thjte with whom he comes In contact, unable to obtain employment, likely to b arrested at any time for vagrancy or on urclon of belns implicated in crime, Is It strange that he becomes desperato and reckless and resorts at times to questionable or illegal .means of relieving his distress? "This htate cannot afford to surround any cf Its citizens with conditions wntch naturallr tend to lead to crime or wrong doing. The trials and temptations which men must meet In the ordinary affairs of life are sufilclent to drive many to the violation of law. Xhe statute under consideration, aimed as it Is at the weakest. members of the community, aggravates and magnifies the conditions under which men are most likely to fa!!. "Various means of avoiding: the evils resulting from both the old and new laws regulating the discharge of prisoners could no doubt be devised. It Is probable that one such means could be fourl in a law which would contain substantially the following provisions: Upon release of a, prisoner, a railroad ticket to tx purchased by the warden to any point In the prison district to which the prisoner wishes to go. The tk-ket not to tm p'ae-d in the hands of the prisoner, but to be given to the conductor of the train on which the prisoner is to depart. A sum of money sufficient to provide the prisoner with comfortable clothing and al?o support him for a reasonable length of time after his discharge, to be raid him upon his release. The expense of the o.eratlon of fuch a law would prohably not gratly exceed and possibly would not equal the expense of the operation of the law now In force. The money which now goes to pay the railroad fare of the prisoner from the pr'.-on tct the county would be sufficient to en l him to any point Jn the prison district to which he preferred to eo. The money rovr paid to county authorities for going to C;a prisons for the prisoners anl returning trith them would be used instead for the purer..-s cf clothing and th temporary supZ ;:l cl rilzzzzl men." j,

EXPEDITING FREIGHT

PAXUAXDLE TRAFFIC TO DC HANDLED MORE SYSTEMATICALLY. A Fast Ran on the 3Ionon IJlff Four Trains Run on Time The Erie Reaching to the Pacific Coast. It was stated recently that the trainmasters of the several divisions of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg had been investigating the expediency of handling freights more expeditiously, not only in running of trains, but oi loading cars and placing them in trains to do the work with less trouble. The Pittsburg Tost gives the results of six weeks of labor on the part of these officials, who have been over every division in the Western lines, stopping for three days at . Indianapolis. The object of their long journey and arduous labor was to arrange for the systematic loading- and handling of freight so as to avcid delays at division, terminal and junction points. Hereafter all local freight will be loaded In cars that will run on such trains as go through to the points designated on all the way bills, and when a car containing miscellaneous freight for another division Is made up it will be loaded only with freight for that division, so that there will be . no necessary delays. All through freight will be so arranged in making up trains that the cars can go through solid to their nearest point of destination. Dairy products. Jive stock and meat, and, in fact, all refrigerator car3, will be consolidated at Columbus, and run through on a fast schedule. In the making "up of west-bound freight trains at Wall, cn the Pennsylvania railroad cars consigned to nearest points will be placed next to the locomotives, so that they can be cut off 'and shunted Into the proper sidings without any detention of trains. For all thin work, as well as many other important changes, tho committee made all the arrangements, and, as a result of their labor, Panhandle freight will now go through to destination quicker than ever, and owing to the fact that freight will be unloaded more promptly there will be more empty cars at all times to supply the demands of shippers. . . The Erie on the Pnclfle Conn(. Albert S. White, general manager of the Erie fast freight lines, has' just returned from the Pacific coast. While there he appointed a representative of the ErJ lino for that territory, selecting C. W. Colby, who has been a traffic man in California ir.crny years.. Ills headquarters -will be San Francisco. Mr. White says that through business from that region has grown Immensely during the last few years, and a number of express lines have sprung up to look after this business. They Include the Fruit-growers Express, with 1,500 cars; the Continental Fruit Express, the California Fruit Transportation Company and the Overland Enpress. The shipment of deciduous fruits In was only one hundred' cars. Last year the total reached ten thousand cars. There were also seven thousand cars of citrous fruits besides a large quantity of other freight. This traffic promises to still further expand. Other appointments of the Erie Dispatch, all of which are effective April 1, are as follows: A. C. Hamaker, agent at Philadelphia, vice Comly Jenkins, resigned: John R. Cochran, agent at Cleveland, vice V. B. Wetherell, transferred: W. B. Wetherell, agent at St. Paul, vice O. J. Romp, resigned: Thomas J. Skldmcre. agent at Kansas City, vice W. T. Singleton, resigned; Walter C. Nason, State agent at Davenport, la, J. C. Lewis having resigned a3 agent at Burlington, la., that agency is abolished. A Fast Ran on the 3Ionon. Frank Reed, general pasfengcr agent of the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago lines. is much elated over a fast run made,, last wee from Indianapolis to Chicago, and, for a heavy train. It was certainly a remarkable run. The train left Indianapoli3 on the morning of the 2Sth and made the best run to Chicago that 'has ever been made. It was a regular train, composed of seven cars, drawn by Engine 1C0; engineer Murphy and conductor Browning was In charge of the train. It left Indianapolis at 3:17 a. m., or two hours and forty-three minutes late, and arrived at Chicago at 8:33 a. m., one hour and fifteen minutes late, thus making the run from Indianapolis to Chicago, a distance of 13 miles, in five hours and eighteen minutes. It was blocked on the Western Indiana tracks for rive minutes by a suburban train, which, being deducted from the running time from Indianapolis to Chicago, leaves five hours and tmrteen minuses. All regular station stops were made. A feature cf this run was from Frankfort to Delnhl. a distance of twenty-five miles, which was covered In thirty minutes, making two cross ing stops. This Is figured to be an actual running time cf about sixty-live miles an hour. Personal, Loenl and General Notes. Twenty-two roads have signed the central passenger committee agreement. J. A. Barnard, general manager of the Peoria & Eastern, returned from New York yesterday. J. J. Archer, divlson freight agent of the Norfolk & Western at Columbus, O., retires to-morrow.

THE DAYIS NOTE CASE

ATTORNEY CHAMBERS CRITICISES EVIDENCE OF, EXPERTS. Rush County Subsidy Salt Goes to Trlnl Eight Chinese Arrested for Gambling:, Acquitted. Judge Brown, of the Circuit Court, heard argument yesterday morning on the admissibility of the note and mortgage in the suit of the Union Trust Company against Mark C. Davis. The court, after the argument, ahnounced that he would admit these documents In evidence provisionally. He said that he would take time to go over the record before deciding whether the note and mortgage could remain in the evidence. Attorney Chambers, for the defendant, in stating his Objection, criticised the testimony of Dre. Hurty and Jameson in relation to the receipt, held by Davis showing that the note had been paid off. r Saturday afternoon Dr. Hurty was recalled by the defense and asked as to his statement made in the morning. In which he said he believed the. figures "1606" had been tampered with. The witness applied chemicals to the, figures, and admitted that the proof did not entirely corroborate the microscopical examination. Nevertheless, he was yet or the opinion that there had been some tampering with the figures. . MERELY A SOCIAL FUNCTION. The El lit Chinese Arrested for GnmbllnK Acquitted.

The attorney insisted that the affair was simply a social. function. The attorney intimated that on the night of the . arrest the police might .have found work to do In the numerousgambling resorts of tne city Instead of pouncing down , on a party cf Innocent social levelers. t It was shown that the record of Hung Doc wjis clear with the exception of this one case.

What Mrs. I. E. Speaks of Her

M T FEEL as if 'I was doing an injustice to my 1 suffering sisters if I did not tell what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me, and its worth to the world. " From the birth of my child until he was four years old, I was in poor health, but feeling convinced that half of the ailments of women were imagined . -w t t

or else cultivated,- i iougnr. against my bad feelings, until I was obliged to give up. My disease baffled the best doctors. " I was nervous, hysterical ; my head ached with such a terrible burning sensation on the top, and felt as if a band was drawn tightly above my brow ; inflammation of the stomach, no appetite, nausea at the sight of food, indigestion, constipation, bladder and kidney troubles, palpitation of the heart; attacks of melancholia would occur without any provocation whatever; numbness of the limbs, threatening paralysis, and loss of memory to such' an extent that I feared aberration of the mind. "A friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and spoke in glowing terms of what it had done for her. " I began its use and gained rapidly. Now I am a living advertisement of its merits. I had not used it a year when I was the envv of the whole town, for my rosy, dimpled, girlish looks and perfect health. 44 1 recommend it to all women. I find a great advantage in being able to say it is by a woman's hands this great boon is given to

women. All nonor to tne name of Lydia E. Pinkham ; wide success to the Vegetable Compound. ' 44 Yours in Health, Mrs. I. E. Bressie, Herculaneum, Jeftcrson Co., Mo." . The Lydia E. Pinkham PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY. Trustee Hnve UeKun (o DNcuis TliL Importnnt Question. The board of trustees of tha University cf Indianapolis wPI not meet for organization for several .days. Dr. P. II. Jameson said yesterday that several signatures to the articles of ussoelatlen aro et to be obtained before tho articles can be ylaoei on record. Until tre articles are filed" with the county recorder, the board will not organize. A chdlnrun, secretary and treasurer are to be elected anl several committer .will be appointed to take charge of the different questions which will have to be considered. One of the most perplexing questions with, which the board will have to deal will be that of selecting a president for tho university. It is conceded that upon the ability of the man chosen to . Jill thH important position will depend much of the future success of the new institution. The trustees are talking thl3 matter over among themselves, bat so far as can be learned . no agreement has been reaehod. it is not known whether a resident of this city will be chosen or some one from away. All are agreed that the president must be a broad, practical educator and one who will lend force and dignity" to the university by the pov;or of his accomplishments. It is not unlikely that the university will Issue diplomas to those schools which have not vet held their commencements this year. Nothing of this kind can be done, however, until after the board has organized. It Is probable that the board of Butler University wiir consider this question at Its next meeting. Hopes are entertained that the trustees will organize In time to allow the schools to issue a Joint catalogue, classing their students as students of the Unlver-. slty of Indianapol's. Jmlrre Duker Still in Chtengo. Judze Baker Is still in Chicago serving as judge in the United States 'Circuit Court. He will not return for two or three weeks. Meanwhile, there will be no United States District Court here. Pure blood is the safegv.rd of health.

Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many physical ills, which vanish before proper.eff orts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual disease, but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figrs, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value pood health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when you purchase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere. Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely t:ed and gives cost general catiifictica.
