BoSTOjf , August .29. f Special Telegram fothellEE. ) Jesse I'omnroy , the boy mur derer , made another well-planned and desper ate attempt to escape from the Charleston state prison a few nights ago by sawing through tlio bars of his coll. It was purely by accident that tlio young murderer's plan was discovered , otherwise he would have sue- deeded. On Pomcroj's person were found two line saws of the best chilled steel and a quantity of gelatine , which ho had lined to hide his work. Ills cell was built for blm nnd the prison authorities have frequently answered the young nan's murderous threats by saying that If he could escape from that cell he was at liberty to kilt as many people as he Ilkud. Last Fri day night Keeper Wlnslow went his rounds as usual , and while waiting to bo relieved by the next watch leaned accidentally against tlio grating of the window which opens from the corridor opposite Pomerpy's cell Into the prison yard. Two of the great loch and a halt bars fell to tlio pavement bejow. IJy testing the bars In the little win dow of the young murderer's cell It was found that enough ot them had be > m sawed through to iidin It the passage of a man's body. They were held In place by gelatine * , COlorrd by blt ot steel tilings , so that It could not be detected. 1'omcroy was furious at the discovery of his plot , and declared that If they h.td given htm time to saw one bar more in the corridor window he would have killed the watchman and made good bis escape. To do this would require the help ot confcdeiatcs outside before ho could bavo escaped the hlch prison wall which surrounds the yard. The prison olliclals bo- llevfl that all this had boon arranged , and that Friday night had been sot for his es cape. It la also ttio opinion ot the keepers that Pomoroy's aged mother , who Is devoted M her son , supplied him with saws and ar ranged the other details ot his expected es cape * PIUNOU YTUKIMDE.

Berlin Correspondence : The cause ol jorstor's banishment from the operatic stngo.pwinrr to the almost total loss of her voiceis saiu to bo temper. A lady who la personally very well acquainted with the Hungarian singer has related some won- derfiilAjpisodes in which the passionate display of Gorstor's temper seems to have } oen so remarkable as to baruly merit crudenco upon being related. As is well cnown , no person in the world is bound o euard and protect anything as care fully as a singer does bis , or her , voice , and emotions In excess of uny kind what ever arc strictly tubooed by vocitl in structors nnd impresarios. Mmo.

There scorns ever } reason why Uerstcr should not have hac to contend with such n serious misfortunu as she was born am brought up in the midst of refinement , her parents having a social position o : excellent stauding in the town in whicl : they lived in upper Hungary.

Hot ambition in this direction piloted her s < sufoly that she was loss than twenty-Hvc when in the very height of her success and yet although she is now but littli moro than thirty , it is highly Improbable that her voice will ever bo hoard agair in public.

" Hence , when children are early reclaimed from criminal and pauper association , nnd their condition changed to that of wholesome iniluencns , they arc , to all intents and purposes , on tlio same vantage grounds as these whom fortune has moro highly favored on their advent into the world , It is the belief ot these who have bcon close observers that the agitation of now questions in politics and in our whole social economy will moro speedily ml- vmco public sentiment in favor of the .jreut work of reclaiming children. So far as the hardened criminal Is concerned , reform is next to Impossible It Is not impossible , hownver. to prevent children From becoming criminals and burdens to -ninety. The Children's homo is the train ing school where they are taught to become - come producers rather than consumers ; .0 become ornaments to society rather than a disgrace ; nnd in a wordto become useful men and women , The Hume is thus made a homo , a school , a chapel , n tliul of workshop , where all thn facilities nru developed , and when n chid is lilted to enter a good home for adoption , it is desirable that it should enter upon its new life without unnecessary delay. The treuius of reform is abroad in our state. In no part of the country has the question of prison reform and kindred topics bcon ngltatcd to a greater extent than in Ohio. Public sentiment is in ad vance of the politicians. The two great parties have been compelled to recognize this fact by pledges in their conventions to enact such measures as will most speedily etlect the reform desired. En lightened public sentiment is such Unit we feel assured that no backward step will be met with approval from the pee ple. The system , it it may bo so called , if district and county homes for children , lias proved the most important factor yet introduced for diminishing the num ber of criminalsby making good citizens of the oll'spring of otlbnders. It may therefore be said in a word that the work of saving children is best ac complished by securing those who are. surrounded by the pauper ami criminal classes at the earliest possible age , and placing them in homes. They hhould there remain until they are thoroughly Httcd to enter homes provided for them by legal adoption. Home adoption , not institution life , is a monument of human salvation to many little ones. There does not appear to bo danger of over-crowding the homes. New homos ire being established in the state , ami the day is not far distant when every one of the eighty-eight counties of Ohio will jithor have homo of its own or bo em braced in a district homo. By a proper appeal to the citizens of each county and district to receive for adoption those who have bcon trained and educated to enter homes of adop tion none ot the homes will become over crowded. The way to usefulness is open to all. There is too much life and activ ity in this country for a boy or girl to long remain in idleness. Qualify them for the duties of life , point the way and they will walk therein and bo saved. AiiiiuuT S. WHITK , Sup't Franklin County Child's liomo , Columbus , Ohio. Xho Children of Hhliibone Alley. BY HEV. DK. HILL , OF OttKGOK. The study of social problems is taking a share of public attention , and thought ful people arc seeking methods for the prevention of the many evils which this study has shown to exist. The first few years of life are generally indicative of the future In store far the child , and any effort in his behalf , to bo successful , night to be mndo when the young mind is most ready to receive and retain im pressions. One of the creat faults of our charitable machinery is that it seeks to ameliorate rather than i > rovont distress , and while there are numberless associations to reform the vicious , there are comparatively few whoso object is to prevent the formation of vicious characters. As society is con stituted to-day , there are many evil influ ences which crow stronger to destroy the moral life with each year , for the reason that wo begiu our oltorts for reform at the wrong end , permitting evil to have full sway of the earlier years of life. To make society pure we must know its darker side and rcali/.u the' presence of evil , which , loft to themselves , will ulti mately destroy the body politic. In a quarter of the great city , down near the water front are many narrow streets where the houses bear the marks of hard usages. As the commercial ac tivities of the city increased , business warehouses encroached more and moro upon this section , driving out the mer chants and well-to-do people. In time the houses wore noglccted , the streets were left unclean , and as a general air of poverty nnd decay settled on the quarter the moral tone seemed to lower until at last , where once respectability and wealth had dwelt , poverty , vice and crime held sway. The fronts of these houses were altered into stores , and what with junk- shops , saloons , stores and stables , the street was entirely changed. But this view from the sidnwalk does not tell tlio whole story , for there is a certain re straint put on these who live in these buildings , and the waifs , the vagrants and criminals seek a greater seclusion from onicial eyes than possible in build ings fronting the streets. Hero is gath ered some ot the most degraded as well as some of the poorest people in the city. Hero the homeless can tiud shelter in col lars , and here the child waif drifts for the sake of company with other out casts like himself , This is Shinbone allev. Its inhabitants were handicapped at birth , and every one of the surround ings impelled the poor children toward a life of vice. Drink is the general cus tom. It is not wrong in their eyes. On the streets anU docks drinking , smoking and swearing are habits that impress these little ones , and powerful inlluence of evil associates soon drive out the de sire for the higher life , anil old ideas and vicious habits resume sway over the young mind. Institutions for tlio Care of Children. Mrs. Li/,7.io Gorgas , matron ol the Child's homo at Duliauco , O. , read a paper on the location and buildings ol institutions for the * care of children. II runs as follows : To those who have had experience in the administration of a home properly located , with buildings adapted to it : purpose , the task might have proved an easy ono. But to these who labor undei the inconvenience of an ill-chosen local ity , ill-arranged and inadequate build ings , the task Is not an easy one. The first consideration should bo a healthful location. The homo should bo located near some large oommunitv and business center , thereby securing sup plies nnd social InUucnce by having { I easy of access to the people. In addition to this the further advantages of churches schools and social entertainment should bo considered , such as pertain to the ordi nary life of the American child. My only objection to the location near a town f ; the usua * high price of land. This ob jectlou however would give way to proper appreciation of just what is needed , because the mlatakn boa boon that largo premises wore regarded SJ nccc&rary. Miatakea have been niude ii regarding largo premise * aa ea aeutial to economic- ) management ani ! industrial training of children. There it no economy In a location remote from I business centre , and , whllo It is true thai children should bo trained to habits ol industry , it should , bo , remembered thai this labor could uovor bo productive ex cept by retaining 'children beyond the ago at which Ihcjr-should bo placed in families. This object can , and is more likely to bo secured 'by nmall promises , and moderate sized' ' .buildings than where the promises are large , and the building ! more capacious , The homo building should bo open on all sides to the frcocirculation of nir.ant especial regard ' 'should ' bo given tc the dny rooms" 6ccunlcd by thi children , seour'ne'n ' southern exposure wherever practlclabhj. Many recognize the fact that a property arranged nursorj will diminish doctor ? bills and get the ox | > orienco and forethought which might prevent disease , nro wanting. The many stops to bo taken , the multi form duties to bo discharged , the number less attentions to bo bestowed , the dis criminating uQ'ecttons to bo experienced , nnd the over present and always unvary ing anxieties incident to A household ol little children who have boon domivec of the affections , social sympathy nnd moral restraints of thi ordinary family life , is r stupendous task , the measure of which can only bo known to an experience ac quired under a conscientious effort te supply as neatly as passible these ( .eprl- vations. This kind of homo life ap proaokcs as nearly as possible to tin ideal family life , and this ideals cur scarcely fail to make a deep and lastinc impression on the mind and heart ot tin child , These impressions once ilxed an the best guarantee of a happy , prosper otis anil useful life , uuil constitutes tlu best reward to such as devote their life aud labor to the care and training o homeless children. _ Afternoon Session. Yesterday afternoon the members ol the conference assembled in Boyd'sopers houso. There was a slight delay in open ing the doors , but it being the Iirst regular lar session in this building , the delay was easily accounted for. The first meeting of the members was held in this placi last week , but no business of importanc * was transacted at tlio time.

ROBBED AND ROBBED AGAIN , A Cattle Man "Ole&nod Oat" in a South Omaha Hotel THE THIEF "JIM-PARKERED. " Arrest niul Etcnpo From the Train of the Scoonel Thlof-llls Wife Jailed and Suing To * Rclcnse. About a week ngo nt the Benson house , South Omaha , a cattle dealer named En- wards was robbed of f 150 and n gold watch worth | 200 by Fred Hawps , nn employe of the hotel. Edwards on re tiring that night had loft his valuables in the pockets of his trousers which ho had thrown over & chair and Hawos sneaked into the room nnd rifled the pockets. On the next day Hawcs laughed at the row that Edwards created over his loss nnd ' that night ho got drunk. Falling in with Mike Fiuroll , a butcher in the Anglo-American packing house , Hawes in a drunken outbreak of confidence revealed his fortunate strike. Fnrroll engineered affairs so that the evening was put in to the best advantage nnd woundup at his own homo with Hawos as guest. Fnrroll has n wife , Lizzie , an extremely attractive woman , who is now r.cmisod in taking some part in what befell Hawos. When the inebriated thief awoke next morn ing ho mndo tiio discovery that all his plunder nnd the genial Mike had vanished. Mrs. Fnrrcl was of course very much astonished , know nothing of her husband's wheroaboutsand felt quito put out over the event. Hawcs was fully on to the situation and determined to substitute for his lost wealth the next best thing revenge. Ho sought out Marshal Rico , the South Omaha police chieftain , and without mentioning his own connec tion with the case , told the oificcr that Farrell hao stolen Edwards' money , and that the fugitive could be run down by shadowing his wife. Thus delivering himself , llawca lied the town and has not since bcon scon. The marshal had little faith in Howe's "friendly tip , "but kept an eye out for Mrs. Farrell , with the result of detecting her that very day leave the town ticketed for Malvern , la. On the same train , but in another coach , the marshal took passage , and following the woman from the depot nt Malvern to the house , which seemed to bo her destination , discovered Mike .Farrell there iu proper person and good health. The Marshal introduced himself without delay , and after a little persuasion Far rell ana his wife agreed to return to Nebraska without a requisition. This was on Sunday last and that night the trio started on their return trip. The marshal refrained from nsmg any ap pliances for restraint , contenting him self with keeping close surveillance on his prisoners. His watch , however , was not close enough , for about mid-way the journey , Fnrroll slipped off at a water ing tank station nnd his ab sence was not noted for some time. Uico , however , kept the woman safely iu custody and reached South Omaha with her yesterday morning. Yesterday afternoon some of her friends came before Judge Neville anel sued for a writ of habeas corpus , which was issued and made returnable forthwith. Upon the hearing of the evidence however , the court decided not to interfere at once nnd remanded the woman into custody. An other effort will bo made to release her her under the common law , which does not recognize a prisoner's obligation to n waiving of his rights. Mrs. Farrell is quite pretty , a fact which naturally en hances the interest in her case.

Jewelry News : The cnpncity of oui watch factories cannot bo brought Into full play , simply because by so elolng out market would bo overstocked nnd com petition would force prices ruinously low. As the cnso stand at present , a num ber of watch factories hnvo been called into existence , for which there wns really no need. The earlier nnd larger factories wore fully able to meet the demand ; but the Idea that manufacturing watches was ono of the most profitable enterprises tempted quite a number of capitalists to tnko n hnnd iu the business , nnd in ninny instances to their sorrow. Already the evil consequences of overdoing the thing shows it itself in the effort to make client ) watches , nnd before a great while wo may see the innmifncturer of watches reduced to the level of making cheap clocks. Looking nt the matter from nnothor standpoint , we will soon couio to the con clusion that our wntch industry is only in its Infancy. The present moment Switzerland makes wntclics. in point of number , far in excess of America , nnd the watches made In Switzerland nre nil exported , while the watches mndo in. America nro principally for the homa market. As there is no question of n doubt that America can produce better moderate priced watches than Switzer land , and give more value for the money expended , the question presents itself , why not scok foreign markets moro en ergetically than we have done. Some ol our older watch factories are doing nn export business , but it seems as though it is not done with that zeal and energy which characterizes the Swiss export trade. In ono particular the Swiss diffot from us In their export trade : they stud.t ho wants and purchasing capaoiti of their foreign customers nnil make goods to meet these. As fnl as is known to the unintiatcd , our ruamu > fiiotnrors have done those things to a very limited extent. The wntt > r. coming in contact some time ngo with tlm chain man of the East , Indian Nnvigntion conv pany , was told that this gentleman would place a very largo continuous order , il he could be supplied with watches which were fair time-koepcrs in metal cases ul $5 each. That sucn watches can bo pro duced at n very fair profit , there is n shadow of doubt , and we know whorcol wo speak. AH wo would have to do would bo to find out tlio wants anil fur nish samples. Australia nnd Asia are now nud will bo excellent mnrkcts , and- by expedition nnd energy wo can secur the bulk of the trade of theno. Thi watch-wearing and purchasing capacity of the globe is enormous nnd can be de veloped in such n manner that wo may at some future day wonder that wo did not tap the mine sooner. 3D I IE 1 , THIS LOVELY COJIPLEXIOK IS Till IlESULT OF USING HAGAN'S Magnolia Balm.
