The defence of the convicts who made an attempt to escape from the penitentiary and were recaptured is not specially forceful. The allegation of 'one, that he and his fellow prisoners were not treated humanely, can be ac- | cepted with great reserve. Few men who find themselves in prison, by com- pulsion, and subject to its discipline, have much regard for its rules and regulations. The fewer still" who invite correction by black-hole treatment have less occasion to laud and magnify their experiences. Thére was something specially signi- ficarit, however, in the charge of coun- sel, that there was a temptation to escape from the prison because of the shortage of guakds. This is a serious 'matter, and' as it was ventilated by one who is friendly with the federal government it cannot he said that his remarks were prejudiced. The sub- ject has been referred to before and in connection with other events. It is presumed fo have had the considera- tion of the inspectors, but without result, Now is the penitentiary inade- quately 'manned ? If so why ? A prison is not a place where the life of the individual is to be destro«- ed by too much restraint. Archibald, the rescue officer, formerly. of the Sal- vation Army and at present a special officer of the government, contends that men are only imprisoned hecause it is necessary thist they think serious- ly of their misconduct, that' they have the opportunity to reform, and that they get their liberty when they give evidence of a change of heart. The 3 fPundreds who are confined in the peni- tentiary must get the benefit of ser- vice in the open air, and they must have it : under the supervision - of guards sufficient in number and offi- cient. in. quality,. The assumption that this is not the case publicly expressed; cannot be allowed to pass by the gov- ernment. Enquiry will be forced by parliament if it cannot be had 'other wise, -------------- There has been much somment upon the "sad case" which was reported to the General Assembly of the Presby- terian church during the last week. It was an appeal from Mrs. Susan Camp- bell, of Folly Village, Nova Scotia, to the church "for redress and assist- ance." ) Camp- bell, died, assessed of $30,000. Two- thirds of the estate was left to two nephews, $10,000 was left to the Pres byterian - church and $3,000 to other religious institutions, He gave his wile an option 'of choosing between $3,000 cash, with a home at Folly Village, or $250 annually, with' said 'home, but left her practically nothing = besides. She decided to take the $250 annually. She alleged, that during the latter fif- teen years of her wedded life her late husband developed. a most miserable nature. She has an only son in Den- ver, Col; suffering from tuberculosis, who needs her presence and aid, and that she has no relatives who can as- sist her. It was up to the assembly to do F something, and one reads of its action with surprise. A cominissioner sym- pathized with the widow, but declared that duty compelled him to stand by the 'will of Capt. Camphell. Granted, he said, that the wife had not been fairly dealt with, would the result be different, were theyman called from the grave and consulted about it ? Anoth- er speaker, also impressed and deeply touchod with the . recital of Mrs. Campbell's story, saw the difficulty of departing from the terms of the 'will. It might affect. the intentions of oth- ers who had in mind bequests t6 the church, A motion, practically rejecting the appeal of Mrs, Campbell, was eventually carried.

Prepared or ready-to-use paint has become the generally used paint of to- day. Its status in this locality is well proved by its wide use in the last five years. "Its success," said a prominent mint dealer yesterday, "'is due muin- ly to two causes : First, to the diffi- culties 'and disadvantages in buying paint materials and mixing them by and; and second, to the raising of, the "standard of prepared paints most manufacturers." we "The 'old crude hand-mixing of paint," he continued, "was bound sooner or later to be displaced by modern scientific processes. The man buying the raw materials is not in position to test the various ingredi- ents to make sure he is securing the best quality. Then the materials can- not¥possibly be combined in so ac- curate proportions, 'nor the colors made so uniform and true when = the quantities used are" largely guessed at and then mixed with a stick. It is hand work against machinery; guess- ing compared with scientific exact- ness." Asked regarding the position painters took towards prepared paints the paint man said : "They take the same stand I do, they oppose 'cheap dope' brands of ready-mixed paints Are-Well by outlook " for" this' We this spring Regarding | the spring, he replied, 'Never better. shall see more painting than in any previous year.'

More Peculiar Customs. A recent return in the inquiry insti- tuted by the charity commissioners in- to the benefactions of London, dis closes curious items. In accordance with an ancient bequest, twelve penny loaves are distributed weekly in the Church of St. Alban's after morning service. In the parish of St. Andrew twelve poor people receive a twopenny loaf and twopence in money on the first Sunday of every month. Thirty- six fourpenny loaves and as many six- pences are distributed amongst thirty- six poor persons of the parish of St. Ann, Blackfriars, on Good Friday. At 8t. , Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe, six three- penny loaves are given away every Sunday, one each to two old men and four widows. All the poor attending the sermon at the parish church of All Hallows' on Good Friday receive a shilling apiece. The residue of the charity of a certain John Norton is still lied to "the providing of cakes and ale after the sermon preach- ed on Wednesday at the parish church of St. Faith, upon such as choose to take - thereof."

Washington, June 16.-- President Roosevelt is manifesting a deep inter- est in the statements made to him by & delegation of members of the American Asiatic Association concern: ing the difficulties which hitherto have been experienced by Chinese merchants, students, travelers and literary men in gaining admission to this eountry.

Venerable Edifice. Braton church, Williamsburg, Va., which has been longer in continual ue than any other Episcopal church building in America, is about to be restored. The parish was founded in 1632. The present building, designed by Governor Spottswood, of Virginia, wes begun about 1702 and finished in 1715; in 1840 the interior was trans. formed. The governor's canopied pew, the corner pulpit and flagstone pave meats were removed, the chancel was transferred from east to west. and a partition wall built across the middle o the church, almost effacing its or- iginal appearance. To restore its former interior and to repair. the ndation and the ancient tower, which is cracked, will cost at least $20,000. ---- Clothing Made-To-Order.
