This interféerence with her attempis to destroy the sacr property seemed to madden the insane woman still more. She ught and used great violence in wrenching herself free from her captor and then, when free, she appeared to iose all consideration for the sanciity of the edifice and shouted profane abuse upon those about her.

The matter of fixing the prices for grain { bags for the coming year was lup early in the session, and Mr. Litchenberg, a commission merchant of San Francisco, addressed the board | relative to the matter and made a re- quest that an executive session be held, owing to the fact that it would not be ad- vantageous to have the discussion made public. The board then went into execu- tive session, which lasted until the noon | adjournment” PRICE OF GRAIN BAGS. After dining at the Warden's residence the board reconvened at 2 o'clock, and Director Devlin moved that the price of grain bags be fixed at the same price as last year, namely, $5 55 per hundred, and that not more than 2000-lots be sold (o each farmer. The price fixed is the maxi- mum charge th8t can be made under the law, which pro\'lde’ that the State is limited to a profit of only one cent over the cost price of each bag. Litchenberg informed the board fhat from the 2800 ot 3000 farmers who had purchased prison- made bags last year not one complaint had been recelved, which testified to the good quality and workmanship of the jute mill product.

PETERSBURG, Feb. 22.—The Gov- ernment in a secret circular sent to the press calls attention to the declaration published in the Official Messenger on February 15, in which the newspapers are in the Turkish tion of Euro- ticles hostile to Turkey in connection with the Mecedonian situation. To-day's circu- lur that the previous declaration ciea indicated the constant the Czar to promote peacefully and earnestly reforms in Turkey, and it rec- ommends that the papers abstain from superfluous attacks on the Turkish Gov- ernment.

And John Howard's name will forever shine in the annals of philanthropy and blazes like a star on the roll of the saints in heaven. But John Howard never beheld a greater refinement of cruelty, to humane feeling, practiced in the twentleth century in en- lightened America and in chivairous California Think of_men laced in the horrible strait jacket—a - Jevice only less cruel than the hideous Iron Virgln I saw at Nuremberg. which was us>d to torture prisoners of state. In thmt straitjacket in our prisons men were trussed up till they could nelther move hand nor foot and then thrown into a cell there for hours and days suffering every pain amd torture that the human frame can know, relieved only by intervals of merciful consclousness, and finally be released to San Quentin and four at Folsom, or to di= as one did at Folsom twenty-four hours after being taken from the straitjacket—dying in his cell and it is said that even a drink of water was denied him. The Black Hole of Calcutta, the Spanish regime in the cold blooded cruelty. CRIMINALS ARE MEN. Now nobody expects that our State prisons are golng to be governed by Sunday-school methods. The modern science of penology that is introducing better manners and gentler laws into our prison systems, and that has been evolving the best man is not impractical. It has been tested at Elmira and elsewhere and is the coming system of modern civilization. Strictness of discipline, hard iabor. but healthy fare, punishment for insubordina- tion is ome thing; brutality and crueity in- volving physical torture and personal degrada- tion is another. The humanity of our time approves the first: it will not tolerate the sec- ond. Even convicted criminals are men and to subject them to the irresponsible whims and caprices of brutes in human form is to demoralize and brutalize both them and thetr keepers.
