FAMOUS OLD PRISON.

/CRAWFORD'S PEN PICTURES OF THE .V" INTERIOR OF NEWGATE.

CB(l«Rd'i Once Noted Prison Vow Merely House of Detention Ventilation, Light and Dryneas—Cells, Chapel, cation Shed and Whipping Poet.

Newgate is the meet notorious prison in England. Its history is connected with tbe -story of the crimes at this kingdom for the last 800 years. The present prison, was built Howard the close of the last century, but it I* «upon the site of the original prison where a J?ewgate has stood since 1070. Newgate has held in its long history every kind of victim «f the law. It is at the end of the Old Bailey, •very near Smithfield, where the martyrs to "jffcnaticism were publicly burned.

The exterior of Newgate resembles an old ^fashioned fortress. Jts walls are of a rough jgray stone. They have become nearly black

Common rejxjrt de eribes Newgate as •damp, unwholesome aud badly lighted. This is incorrect It is a model prison so far as 'ventilation, light and dryness are concerned. The cells are large and high. They are iieated by hot water pipes, wad are as comfortable as a prison should be. Prisoners in Newgate who conduct themselves well are «ntitled to an hour's daily exercise in the court yard. Refractory prisoners who refuse to submit to ordinary punishments are given twenty-four hours in the dark cell, with a iiet of bread and water. The warder showed me one of these dark cells, and kindly closed me in it for a moment to give me an idea of this kind of punishment The cell was so closed out from the light that I could not see my hand directly in frout of my eyes. The warder said that this form of punishment was not at all appreciated by prisoners who tiad never undergone it He never saw a prisoner who dreaded this punishment for the first time, and in the history of Newgate punishment no prisoner, however bad, had -ever placed himself in a position to receive this punishment asecon&titne. Twenty-four hour* alone in absolute silence and darkness breaks and cows the most stubborn spirit, «nd if ooutinued muck beyond this limit would inevitably lead to madness

The cell of the condemned prisoner Is Mar tiw dark cells. It Is a large room, double the ordinary slse. It contains a plank bed, upon which a light mattress is laid. There are two or three religious inscriptions upon the wall A table, a stool for the prisoner, and two for the warders, who are always wjth him day and night from the time he is condemned, compose the furniture. Execution follows a sentence very swiftly in England. The utmost period of delay doss not go beyond a month, and often execution takes place within ten days after a sentence. There is no appeal to any one except the home secretary. He alone has the power to stay the execution or to commute a sentence. It is very raro that he interferes. The odds are ninety-nine to one that a man sentenced to death in England will be executed.

From the 111 walked with the warderto the chapel of tho prison upon the first floor. This is a handsome, old fashioned chamber, high, well lighted, and finished in dark woods. In the center is a lofty pulpit Upon the left of this is a gallery box for visiting justice* Around the room upon the right and left are cages or subdivision* behind strong iron bam, where convicts used to sit. Those who are on trial sit in front of these bars. There is an upper gallery arranged with slats for female prisoners. These great wooden slats are so turned that the women can see only tho preacher, and not one of the prisoners. At the right of the pulpit is a little black chair, the seat of honor in the chapel. This is reserved exclusively for prisoners under sentence of death. Formerly there was a pew for this class.

After leaving the chapel I walked with the warder around to the place of execution. The prisoner inarches from his cell through the prison wing into a narrow court and around this court, not one moment's walk, to a wooden shed made of unpainted pine, which is built in a corner of the court against tho prison walls. This died has a cement floor with a wooden trap in the centra. Over that is a simple beam acroca, from which hangs a rope. The only furniture in the place is connected with the trap, which is worked by a black Iron lever. There is a oommission now experimenting in Newgate as to the methods of hanging, so as to sncuroa bn tug of the neck when the trap drops. In one of the large rooms to the court when® the execution shed is Is kept the whipping post Under the Eng Hah law any attempt to rob a person accompanied by pergonal violence constitutes the technical offence of "garroting.w This to punished by from twenty-flve to fifty lathes. The men under sentence for garroting are seated upon the black box with their legs fastened upon what was an old pillory post Their arms are fastened above their heads. Then the lashing is wall hid on until their backs are completely cat to pieces. The warder said that there was no object in giving more than twenty-five lashea. After twenty-five lashes the men were numb and felt no more pain. Be said that it was a most effectual form of punishment, and rmrhud a class of street ruffians who ca/ed nothing for imprisonment London swarms with this class of criminals, who are sow pretty thoroughly restrained by the whippisY post Thereto oo form of punishment so much dreaded by these ma as UM isah., This room where the whipping post low is was formerly used far prisoners when they were kept together in numbers Inst sail «f tntac given separata cells.

Newgate has been the scene of every form of execution. The breaking on the wheel, the drawing and quartering, and every kind •of old fashioned torture has been tested to 4be full extremity of barbarous law within these blackened walls. Today Newgate is used as a prison of detention for criminals •who are to be tried at the Old Bailey. If they are sentenced to death they are kept at .Newgate and executed there. If they are sentenced to penal servitude they are transferred elsewhere.

The other day, through permission from the home secretary, I visited Newgate. |I was turned over to one of the chief warders, man who has been in Newgate for thirty years, and who has assisted at thirty-five executions. He was tall, broad shouldered, *with regular foatures and a full, long brown beard and flowing mustache. He looked as dignified as a colonol in tho Horse Guards. He spoke good English, without the slightest Cockney accent, and did not drop one of his fa's, which is more than can be mid for the Attendants at Windsor castle.

RIDING BEHIND A SNOW PLOW ON THE WESTERN PRAIRIES.

Thrilling Experiences While Fighting the Snow Drifts in the Home of the BIi*» aid—Work Done on Western Railroads

In Midwinter. "It is not every engineer that can run •DOW plow," said a locomotive engineer the other day. "You can take the brat runner on the road and put Mm on a snow plow, and very likely he would resign his job in an hour if he could, just because he is not fitted for the place. Nowadays snow plows are different from what they were back in the sixties. I was then on the St. Paul road, and they turned a snow plow out of the shop and put me aboard. The engine was a wood burner, with a big stack, and the snow plow excited the admiration of everybody that saw it. It was made of riveted boiler plates,

^fairly good work, and was so

Storm King on the Northern Pacific. It was made of wood with a steel shoe and cutwater, or cutsnow, as we called it. Instead of being attached to the engine, it was built on a car and pulled behind the engine. This car was warm, had a stove, and was piled half full of pig iron to bold it down. "To give you some idea of the work a snow plow has to do, you will suppose that a blizzard has been blowing for three days and traffic has been entirely suspended. At last the wind stops blowing. The morning is clear and cold—oh, so cold I The snow plow is ordered out. Gangs of men are at work shoveling off the turntable and clearing the yard. You jump into fc. cab of your engine, and your fireman incidentally remarks: 'It's 40 degs. below, Hank.' That's pretty chilly, but you don't mind it because you are dressed for it I weigh 165 pounds in the buff, but when I am dressed for 40 degs. below zero with a snow plow I appear to weigh 300. "Now we are ready to start Slowly we move out of the round house to the main track, where we couple on a car fiHed with provisions and show shovelers. In the town we find everything clear, but the minute we get beyond habitations, which doesn't take long up in Minnesota and Dakota, our work begins. "The sun looks liko a frozen ball of butter in the air, and on each side is seen the sun dogs, that invariably show up on such cold mornings. They are very beautiful, with their rainbow colors, but we hate to see them all tho same, for they foretell a continuance of the cold weather. The rays of the sun emit no warmth and the air is full of little needlo like particles of frost The curtain of our cab is let down and tightly buttoned. Our windows are battened, and we are comparatively warm. The side windows are immediately covered with frost from our breath and the steam, but the fireman keeps the front windows clear. May bo we go along smoothly for a mile before we strike adrift As far as the eye can roach there is a trackless waste of snow, white and glistening. Fences are obliterated in white drifts that are sometimes fantastic in their shapes. The snow cutter on tho engine pilot is cleaving its way through the snow, occasionally striking adrift that makes it jump a little, and behind tho Storm King is sweeping it up from the rail and two feet on each side, sending it up and outward like jets from a fountain.

'There's a big one, Hank,' says the fireman. Sure enough, a quarter of a mile ahead is a big drift half as high as a house, that has blown through a gap in the fence. Wo are going about twenty miles an hour. It would be easior to go through that drift if our pace was accoleratod a little. I pull out the throttle and we bound along thirty, then forty miles on hour, until we are upon it, and a little extra yank at the throttle and we dive into it That was fun, And how the snow did fly. It was only a couple of rods long and six feet deep, and we cut through it like a sharp knife through apiece of cheese. "Again we have clear sidling until we reach a cut This cut is from six to twenty feet deep and nearly a quarter of a mile Umg. 'Get stuck here, Hank,1 says the fireman, and you can bet he was right I let her go Gallagher, and we light into that cut like a thousand of brick, but this time the mow is the victor. Even the big Btonr King, with its heavy weight behind, does not help us, and we come to a dead stop, and only a rod or so into the cut, with snow in front, each side, and on top—we are literally buried. I reverse the engine, but the wheels only dip, and sand cloesn't do any good. A toot of the whistle, and tho shovelers come swarming out. They work like beavera for ten minutes, and then run for the car, and a relief gang comes out "May be in an hoar they dig ns out, and we back up a mile and take another header into the cut to meet our former fate. A person would think that a mow plow dashed sigainst adrift of snow at tho rate of from forty to fifty miles an hour would be apt to go through not only mow, but through a pile of rocks, but it doemt It goes just far enough to make the men swear, and get out and shovel. •It is a common thing for cattle to take refuge in these cuts when they get caught in the blizzards. Several times we have run into them. Once we dug out thirty-two bead of cattle after my engine had jumped tho track from striking the frouen body of one of them. You can bet the boys had steak in the car that day. 'The revolving snow plows now in use are a great invention. They work on the propeller blade style, and cut swaths about eight inches deep and throw the mow out Now, the only thing that is wanted is a machino that will pick the ice from between the rails. If a man could invent such a machine be could sell it for $1,000,000 and a royalty that would make a prince of him. "What I mean is this. In some cases a road is snowed up for months, as the Hastings and Dakota division of the St Pud road was, I think, in 1S80. Over 100 miles of road was dosed west of Bird Island all winter. When a case»of that kind takes place ice forms between the tracks, caused by the sun on warm days melting the snow, the water draining through and finessing Thisneoeasitates picking it out with a pick by hand labor. No engine can run, for tbe ice comes higher than the ask pan, and also treeeee next to the rails, ao that tbe flanges on tbe while won't set down.

Tbe cokfeat place for a train to be snowed in at is between Mandan, X). T., and the Bad Lands, just cast of the Little Missouri. This country is a bleak, arid waste, with not a tree In eight for 100 mites, and nothing to vbreak the wind, which cones from tbe Art Ucoc^-Ney Tcrkfua.

THE HOWLING DERVISHES.

EXCITING CEREMONIES WITNESSED BY A CORRESPONDENT.

Religionists Who Exercise a Powerful Influence la Turkey—A Fnuled Child ot 3 Tears—A Hamaa Corduroy Bead.

Try In* to Nerves. We set out after an early lunch to witness some of the religious rites of the Befaee, or the howling dervishes. These are but one of th* numerous orders of dervishes who wield an irresistible influence over the public minH in Turkey. Their notable Take is a low. weather beaten old building, standing on the edge of the great cypress shaded Turkish cemetery that crowns the heights of Sentarie, and is almost as dilapidated as most of TJM monuments gravestones that surround it When we altered we found the best seate for observation nearly all appropriated by a large party of American tourists with guide books in hand, fully .determined to "take it all in."

The space allotted to the "howlers" was also well filled, yet a good many, both df young and old, were still coming, and after going forward to where the high priest sat, they reverentially bowed to the dust, then taking the priest's hand, gently kissed it and retired. Directly behind the priest was a «*n«n alcove, painted a bright green, and filled with a variety of antique small arms, swords, daggers, battle axes, eta On the walls were many mottoes or sentences in frames, and some prayer rugs. A small brazen censer containing burning frankincense and spicee, filled the room with aromatic fragrance. &OW8 O* SPECTATORS.

Around three sides of the low room were galleries, some closely latticed and occupied by Turkish women others open and filled With curious spectators like ourselves. The best location was reserved for Turkish gentlemen and soldiers. Beneath those galleries was still another, elevated a step at two above the main floor, and separated from it by a low railing, and furnished with seats for spectators. On the main floor were spread many rugs of Angora goatskin, on which were seated old men, regular patriarchs in appearanoe, while two groups of little children were ranged behind them. Seated close to the low railing were rows of men clothed in the flowing Dervish mantle and tan -colored "gftluph,n a tall, brimless felt hat, strongly resembling an inverted flowerpot, bound round the head by along black scarf, with ends left flowing. These ends were at intervals in the course of the service tenderly pressed to the lips. At other times the eyes were carefully wiped with these mourning badges.

Conspicuous before the high priest stood a lithe figure, with a pale, cadaverous countenance, but a keen, penetrating eye, who was slowly manipulating a long, white scarf. He first threw it around his shoulders, thus symbolizing the all embracing love of Allah then, binding it tightly about his waist, he began tying and untying it, each knot having a particular significance. His whispered words will bear this interpretation: "I tie up greed I untie charity. I tie up hate I untie love. I tie up pride I untie humility." And so on through along list Then began a monotonous chant that soon swelled to a tremendous howl. All rose to their feet and kept time with swaying body and jerking bead in a frantic manner.

The old and feeble among them gradually dropped out of the circle and took seats on the rugs near the oenter of the room, beside the rows of standing children. At length the eyes of the spectators became riveted upon the face and figure of a little 8-yesr-old baby, who stood for two long hours swaying its frail body in perfect unison with the dervishes, and with his rosy, oharub mouth uttering the same indescribably impressive cry of Allah! When the rude throng had at length worked themselvse up to a(stateo( religious frenzy the little boy also rolled his bright eyes about as if beholding a Wumlj vision. xmra&AflrcsB or DWAHTS.

I can compare this worship to nothing

have ever witnessed, except it be the intense excitement exhibited at meetings among the "oolored brethren" on a southern plantation in the old "slave times" in our own country. One who has seen those impressionable people jumping, shouting and falling down with "tbe power" can imagine something of the harrowing spectacle before us today.

To my mind nothing was so impressive as the power of endurance shown by the infants on exhibition. I shudder when I think of the torture they must hare been subjected to in the private drill necessary to prepare them for such a performance in public. Some of the children seemed free to pass in and out at will, btt the tiny boy spoken of above and a little ^trl (a hunchback) never left their posts a iinute nor ceased to sway their bodies and shout until the performance was concluded by a louder clapping and howling, more violent jerking of the head and wilder tumult than before. Then a sudden hush, when, without a signal or look from any one, this lovely little baby demurely marched up to the high priest to receive his blessing, then laid him down, his face to the ground before the venerable man. Another, who appeared to be a high chief of the order, now took the stalwart priest by the band while be placed both feet on tbe body of this frail intent and stood with bis face turned upward, while he muttered what appeared to be a prayer. Then other children followed. First came the little hunchback, then three or four at a time, finally ten or twelve laid down, forming a human "corduroy road" for the high priest to walk over, until at least twenty children had thus received his blessing and had the evil spirit driven out of them. This ceremony is supposed to be a panacea, and there are always invalids brought to. the Take during services to be cured of real or imaginary ills.

to be walked upon today, and one little boy, who was brought in by his devout and ds voted father, refused utterly to be comforted in this manner, and was carried out mask boisterously victorious.

If you are a novice you k«ve this scene with nerves so strained and brain so oonfaswl that you are ready to question your own identity, and are almost persuaded you have been witnessing the demoniacal incantation* of wisarda, instead of reasonable beings warshiipng their creator.--^.

Why You Feel

So weak and exhausted is because your blood is impure. As well expect the sanitary condition of a city to be perfect with defiled water and defective sewerage, as to expect such a complicated piece of mechanism as the human frame to be in good order with impure blood circulating even to its minutest veins. Do you know that every drop of your two or three gallons of blood passes through tbe heart and lungs in about two and a half minutes, and that, on its way, it makes bone and muscle, brain and nerve, and all other solids and |luids of tbe body? The blood is the great nourisher, or, as the Bible terms it,

"The Life ef the Body."

Is it any wonder, then, that if the blood be not pure and perfect in its constituents, you suffer so many indescribable symptoms
