French Crlmlnologlst Sees Only Lu uf-i Here. Paris , Nov. 12. M. Schramock. tl director of French prisons , who hi Just returned from the Intornatlon Prison congress at Washington , wi astonished at what he saw In penlto tiarles in the United States. Ho d scribes them as "the height of luxu for the criminals , " "Truly , " ho Hold , "In the prisons ir 10 United States the prisoners arc > ctter lodged and better nourished mn are the major portion of the Drench workliiKtnan. That IH no ox KKoratton. The prisons In the Unit d States give the Inmates three monlt duy , at each of which they havi teat. And they have coffee with tlieli tuals. The prisoners are made tc work , but they do so little that It It ot worth talking about. "They have their electric light ! the ) an read the newspapers and hookt out them from the outside. I have eon them In comfortable rocklnf liulrs , smoking clgarets and rending 'hey have gymnasiums In some prls no. They are allowed to play foot mil and they are allowed also to phi ) luslcnl Instruments and organize con erts. They get Instruction nnd when hey nro released they are given $ t piece. "Tno reason tor this leniency is thai 10 Americans have so high a regard or personal liberty It Is supposed tc e BUfllclont punishment to take awn ) man's liberty. Besides , crlmlnah re looked on rather as 111 , unhealth ) ndlvlduals who must bo cared for and ot on the right road again. "But I believe the luxury In Amorl an prisons encourages crime. I was ot nblo to got statistics while there n this point , but there Is a great in reasfj In the number of prisoner * nch year. I was told that this In rcaso is only In proportion to the In reaso in population. It seems to mo lough , from such llgurcs as I was ble to obtain , that the number ol > rlsoncrs there Increases alarmingly 'hoy have no penal colonies. The Americans oven look on our penal col nles as barbarous. "I was greatly and favorably 1m ressod with the surveillance I ob orved over the children.

With the ne\ order of things the closing of saloon nnd restaurants at 1 o'clock in th norning has come necessity which 1 this case , at least , is the stepmothe of invention.

Many of them ha been used to dropping in at any hou nnd departing after the merry rattl of the milk cans In the street wn heard. George Recto. , proprietor of an ui town cnfo , says he has had difficult explaining to the late comers that is Impossible for them to come Int his place.

"Pop's" Appearance in New York Wor rying Big League Magnates. New York , Nov. 12. Adrian C. An- son , the former great hitter and lend' er of the Chicago Champions in the olden days , is in town on a mysterious mission. He has had several confer ences with men of wealth , and It is understood - derstood that he is feeling the public pulse on the question of a new league to be a rival of the National and the American leagues. "Cap" Anson always has been a stalwart National leaguer and ho stood by that organization in the troublesome some days of the brotherhood. It h a little strange , therefore , to learr that the old wnrhorse is Interested ii : the new league. If they are paying the captain a salary to find out hov , the land lies more power to him. He s deserving of anything that may be thrown his way and you can bet youi last dollar that "Pop" will not do any thing under cover. John T. Brush , owner of the Giants and Frank Favrell , owner of the High landers , are not worried over the pos slblllty of a third league'getting Intc New York. Both major leagues an well fortified against any newcome that tries to cut into their territory Ever since the war between the Na tionnl and American leagues they havi been accumulating a reserve fund li case of future trouble. The Nationn League hns nearly a million dollar with which to fight off Invaders. Ii the old days the clubs had little mot ! ey and some oi them were on the loj hur side of the ledger. Now nil o the clubs have money and they hav prepared for war in times of peace The American League Is also fortlfle and they will Join the National if I comes to a war with a third league. Mr. Brush and Mr. Farrell have n fear of a third team coining In No' ' York , because they do not believe thn Fletcher or his associates can rals enough money to get started. It woul require at least ono million dollars t establish a new baseball plant in No1 York. Frank Fnrroll knows this be tor than anybody. Ho has Just mad arrangements for a new plant at Tw Hundred and Twenty-fifth street an Broadway , and the work on that wl cost him nearly one-half million do lars. It Is generally believed that a thlt league would bo a financial Impose blllty without a team in Now Yorl It Is in New York and Chicago tin most of the teams get their monc while on the load. The new leagi would have no trouble In getting Into Plttsburg and Cincinnati , but whore there are two trams already they will have trouble In getting groundn. CORPSE CARRIERS STRIKE. * * * Negro Miners BringingOut Oodles , Want More Than $2.95. Trinidad , Colo. , Nov. 12.
