X ELIZABETH FRY.
(1781-183.)
"I like the Jltr In your full-brimmed eye;
I like your carriage and your silken gray.
Tour dove-like fcablts and your silent preach
ing. '
But I Jont like rour nugatory teaching.
No. Tit be your friend, and like a friend
Point out your Terr wont defect nny, never
Start at that word! But I roust ask you why
You keep your school In Newgate. Mrs. Fry."
The foregulnfT deplorably unmetrlcal
rhyme, called VKeep Your School Out of
Newgate. Mrs. Fry." 'was the outcome
of an effort by Thomas Hood to put In
ballad form the popular amazement at
the prison reforms brought about by
that active philanthropist. Mrs. Eliza
beth Fry. The cordial support which the
moit eminent men and women of Eu
rope have since given Mrs. Fry's help
ful plans has proved Hood's diagnosis of
her teaching to have been as poor as
the puns In which he tried to express It.
This woman, who braved the ferocity
of the prison inmates and 'the bantering
of the uncomprehending, was naturally
of spicli timorous temperament that she
could never have achieved her good works
had she not been actuated by the thought
that she was called of God to minister to
his suffering and sinful children. As a
child she was afraid of the dark, nerv
ously apprehensive over approaching
trouble, and give nto morbid self-probing.
Her presentiments In regard to the death
of her mother. whoe very slumbers
Elizabeth used to watch with nervous
Jealousy, were sadly fulfilled when Eliz
abeth was but 12 years old. After this
unexpected blow Mr. Gumey, the father,
became greatly self-absorbed, and. natu
rally Indulgent, let his 12 young children
bring themselves up the best way they
could. Utterly unrestrained, their lives
henceforth afforded a great contrast to
the systematic religious training which
the mother had enforced. After the vio
lence of their grief had pased away,
the bereaved family led the gaye5t ex
istence In their beautiful country scat at
Earlham.
Elizabeth Gumey. the third daughter,
whom the loving mother had called her
"dovelike Betsy," had grown Into a tall,
slender girl, with flaxen hair, extreme
exuberance of spirits, a flippancy in quot
ing the atheistic aphorisms of the French
Revolutionists, a fondness for wearirg be
coming scarlet riding habit, for hearing
the band play, for attracting the notice
of admiring officers quartered In the
neighborhood, and for going to the opera
to see "the Prince" n petted, fly-away
girl, whose naive entries In her Journal
form a fair Index of her girlhood charac
ter: "July 11 Company to dinner. I
must beware of not being a flirt; It Is an
abominable character: I hope I shall
never be one, and yet I fear I am one
now. a little. He careful not to talk at
random. If I do pass this day without a
foolish action, it will be the first I ever
passed so. If I pass a day with only a
few foolish actions. I may think It a
good one."
Strange as It may seem, under these
deliriously diametric characteristics lay
excellent foundation for the high destiny
which Elizabeth Gurncy ultlmate'y
achleved. Her volatile spirits kept her
enthusiasm, when diverted to more seri
ous subject, fresh nnd vigorous: her
quickness at repartee gave her facility
in choosing the right word for courtier,
camp or convict; hce- lively imagination,
her zest for seizing the strong points
of a situation, lent an almost legal force
to her pleadings for the Unfortunate
tamed by her kindly heart, and the cun
ning of her childhood developed Into the
shrewdest penetration of the Inwardness
of those whom she was to Influence.
Underlying her girlish archness lay a
habit of self-annlysls which frequently
caused her great discomfort. "We find la
her Journal entries made before she was
37. sincerely questioning her right to be
so occupied with trifles, "dress in par
ticular." After several months of strag
glings she decided that her high spirits
ran away with her when dancing and
singing, and that she must henceforth
give up these greatly enjoyed and other
wise Innocent diversions. She had sev
eral lapses Into these, her besetting sins,
and might eventually have drifted back
Into her pleasure-loving life, had It not
been for the forcible remonstrances of
William Savery. a visiting American
JTrlend. Upon the day of his flrst address
the seven beautiful daughters of Mr. Gur
ney sat In a row under the gallery of
tho Norwich meeting-house. Betsy's
usual restlessness being made especially
conspicuous by her smart purple boots,
laced with red. From that day, however,
her love for the world seemed gone.
Her father was not a plain Friend.
' nnd, fearing that Elizabeth's Impres
sionable nature might lead her to make
resolutions which she might afterword
wish to break, he wisely took her to
London on a test visit, of which her Jour
nal records a round of dancing, opera
and rouge. Her awakened conscience,
however, took the zest out of her gay
ctlcs, and when ihe again heard Will
lam Savery speak In London, her reso
lution was taken to become a plain
Friend. She had a horror of emotional
religion, whleh she believed led to fa
naticism, and she therefore approached
with great soberness the decision from
which she never afterward wavered.
Hers was a restless nature, which de
veloped to the best advantage when
hemmed In by certain fixed restrictions.
ana sno therefore found a definite sup
port In Friendly sobriety. In. the plain
dress (the becoming poke-bonnet having
not yet succeeded the Friendly beaver
hat) and In the temperate use of the
familiar pronoun.
Elizabeth Gurney had meanwhile start
ed a Bible-reading school among the poor
of the neighborhood, which soon num
bered SO children, whom she Interested
through the sheer force of her personal
ity, unaided by the pictures and "gifts"
so helpful to modern teachers.
At the ago of 19 the Impetuous Eliza
beth married Joseph rry. bade farewell
to her tearful school children, and went
to live In Mildred's Court. London. The
Fry were such decidedly plain Friends
that they considered the Quaker bride
quite worldly. She certainly was always
extremely liberal-minded, notwithstand
ing her scrupulous conformity to the ex-
ternals so valued by her new relatives.
The domestic cares of a prosperous
family always entertaining largely and
hospitably pressed so heavily upon her
for the next 12 years that wo find little
comment In regard to this period of her
life except her active philanthropy In the
parish. Frequent Illnesses weakened her
physically, but left her high, active spirit
uncurbed. Meanwhile the family re
moved to a beautiful. luxurious home at
riashet. where Elizabeth Fry had be
come an approved minister of the Society
of Friends. Here she founded a school
for the poor Irish of the neighborhood,
materially assisted the annual encamp
ment of Gypsies, learned the art of vac
cination from an eminent physician, and
so skilfully Inoculated the children of her
Indigent neighbors that smallpox was
practically stamped out from the sur
rounding villages.
In 1S13 Mrs. Fry paid her first memorable
visit to the women of Newgate prison,
whose wards were familiarly known as
"Hell on Earth." The loathsome condi
tions and consequent suffering of the In
mates deeply touched the tender-hearted
woman, but beyond providing food and
clothing for them Mrs. Fry did not begin
the work with which her name Is Identified
until four years later. Meanwhile she tried accurately says: "An offence pursued at

the publicity "which the novelty of her
work must entail, nor her wrestlings with
conscience, when trying to decide which
duty urged the stronger claim: nor did
her detractors at flrst realize that It was
the warm motherly nature Inspiring her
with sympathy for the little children of
the prisoners which touched their brutal
natures and formed the real keynote of
her success.
Capital punishment at that time ex
isted for 100 different offenses. The women
of the prison, tried and untried, were
herded together with their little children
In a bare filthy room. where they were
all supposed to eat s'Ightly. drink freely
and sleep without bedding. Half-perished
with the cold and Insufficiently clad, they
spent the days gambling and begging for

drink money. The howling of this Inferno I
were so terrible and the savage lrreponsl- i
blllty of these degraded and maltreated
Inmates was so dangerous that the prison
authorities implored Mrs. Fry to leave her
valuables out!d. This she refused to do,
and requested that, she might go In alone
to speak with the prisoners. When the
doors had been locked after her, she gently
laid before the astonished women the mis
ery of their little ones and besought them
to co-operate with her In organizing a
school for them. Quite touched by her
rraycrs and solicitations, the women chose
the most trustworthy of their fellow
prisoners as teacher. Soon the mothers
alro attended tho skillfully conducted
school. Sewing was taught them, matrons
were appointed and the place gradually as
sumed an orderly and spot" ess appearance.
Another great trial which she assumed
was the personal comforting of prisoners
sentenced to execution. Nothing but a
realizing sense of the genuine support
which her sympathy conveyed to those
whose scaffolds were building enabled her
to confront these terrible ordealiJ, especially
when the poor victims were to bo hanged
for petty theft, for accomplice in forgery
or for passing counterfeit .notes without
knowledge that they were spurious. So
agonized did Mrs. Fry become over these
visits to the cells of the unjustly con
demned that she began Inquiring, to some
purpose. "Is It for man thus to take the
prerogative of the Almighty Into h!s own I
hands?" As n rcsu't of her efforts1 among
prominent philanthropists and In the House
of Commona the penal decrees were made
far more humane. Societies were organ
ized to provide Instruction and employ
ment which would make prisoners self
supporting, and the funds necessary to
bring about this new regime were raised
by John J. Gurney. Elizabeth Fry's broth
er. The government also Intrusted to this
heroic band the care of the transport ships.
and under Iti practical wisdom this vile
rystcm was relieved of much of Its horror
and barbarity.
Meanwhile financial difficulties and the
consequent removil f-om beiutlful PUahet
to a cottago at Upton, combined with the
loss of many of her friends and relatives,
sadly Impaired Mrs. Fry's health.
Throughcut nil her trials, however, she
was to others the strengthercr and con
soler. Her increasingly large family was
nlso a great care, her twelfth and young- i
est' child being born on the same day as t
her first grandchild. She nevertheless
found time to make In the companionship
of her noblo brother several helpful Journ
eys abroad.
In her Jourral sho thus describes a visit
which the King of Prurcla paid to-her at
Upton: "I went first (from Newgate) with
the lady mayoress and the sheriffs, the
king next with his own peop'e. I had to
hasten to take oft my cloak, and then went
down to meet him at the carriage door,
with my hu-sband and seven of our sons
and pons-In-Iaw. I then walked with
him Into tho drawing room, where all was

flowers. I presented to the king our eight
daughters and daughters-in-law. . . .
and afterward presented IS of our grand
children. We had a solemn silence before

a king, yet not extravagant, everything

A woman of undoubted executive ability.
Elizabeth Fry nevertheless posserred a
single-heartedness and loveliness of char
acter such as is not often granted to
leaders of men engrossed with outsIJo
cares. Tho secret of this happy convblna-
tlon Is found In a letter to her sifter where-
in she says: "Ever since my heart was
touched at 17 years old. I believe I have
never awakened from s cep. In sickness
or In health, by night or day. without my
first thought being how best I may serve
my Maker."
She died In 1645. Forty rears later a
church was erected to her memory In the
garden of her Upton home. Princess
Louise laid the foundation stone and many

present at the ceremony.
Intemperance a Vice, Xot a Crime.
PORTLAND. April IS. (To the Editor.)
I will not occupy much of your space In
dealing with Rev. Ray Palmer and his
collection of dictionaries. Like Ephralm.
be Is Joined to his Idols. A man who
calls the Standard dictionary 'he' may
call Intemperance a parallelogram, for
anything I care.
A vice Is a habit, and a crime Is an
act. One Indulges In a vice, and becomes
the subject of moral censure. One com
mits a crime, and becomes liable to an
Indictment. To say that one Indulges In
a crime, or comfulU a vice, would be a
perversion of language. The two things
are distinct.
Even all overt offences are not crimes.
As Austin, In his work on Jurisprudence,
or ny me suoorainara oi me .sovereign,
Is -a crime.'
Vice In general is that civil habit or
disposition out of which crimes proceed
by way of consequence. Envy Is a vice,
but,, murder perpetrated by an envious
man Is a crime. The following passage
occurs In Emerson's "Essay on Compen
sation": "The league between virtue and
nature engages all things to assume a
hostile front to vice. The beautiful laws
and substances of the world persecute
and whip the traitor, He finds that things
l are arranged for truth and benefit, but
there Is no den In the wide world to Wde
a rogue. Commit a crime, and the earth
Is made of glass. There Is no such thing
as concealment. Commit a crime, and It
seems as If a coat of snow fell on the
ground, such as reveals In the woods tho
track of every partridge and fox and
squirrel and mole."
Intemperance Is an evil habit, and
therefore a vice. One cannot commit it.
or be indicted for Its commission; there-
fore It Is not a crime.

CotnmlMlonen Will Be AUed to
Make Improvements.
John R. Gllstrap, chairman of the com
mittee appointed by the Woodstock &
Ivanhoe Improvement Association to pre
pare a petition to the County Commis
sioners asking for the improvement of the
Woodstock avenue nnd Thayer road, con
necting with the Powell's Valley roadV will
begin to circulate the petition next week.
Under the conditions the Improvement of
this road through to the Section Line road
will require two petitions. One will b
for the Improvement from the Mllwaukle
road to Powell's Valley road, and the
other will be for that portion from the
Powell's Valley road to the Section Line
road. The reason for two petitions Is that
the road between Powell's Valley and the
Section Line roads Is not yet entirely open.
"Deeds for the complete opening for that
latter portion are expected to arrive from
California at any time from the parties
owning the narrow strip that still ob
structs the full opening. Meanwhile. Mr.
Gllstrap will push for the Improvement
of the portion that Is fully opened, ana
then take up the remainder north of the i
Powells Valley road, when the deeds oi i
dcdlcatlon have been received. The people
of the whole of the southeast district are
very much Interested In this road Im
provement, and are anxious that It should
be accomplished.

LEASING THREE SECTIONS
jonx
DAY STOCKMAN
JOHN MINTO.
ANSWERS
An Ordinary Band of 8COO Sheep "Will
Require nt lnat Fifty Sec
tion for Range.
John C. Luce, a well-known stockman
of the John Day Valley, who Is sojourn
ing at the St. Charles, takes exceptions
to some points advanced by John Mlnto,
In yesterday's Orcgonlan. concerning the
leasing "of Government pastures. To a
reporter Mr. Luce said yesterday: "Mr.
Mlnto's theory In regard to leasing three
sections and no more, by any one stock
man, might work very well In the foot
hills back of Salem, but they could not
apply to lands where large bands of
sheep have to be provided for. Take an
ordinary-sized flock of 5000 sheep In the
John Day Valley, and they would cat out
three sections of grass within a week.
It takes a mile square to swing such a
band around In. as the.animals will spread
over half a mile wide In feeding. To
confine them to a narrower strip would be
to 'bunch' them, and sheep confined In
.a. bunch always fall off. Of course. If the
three .sections could bo rencea ana me
size of the hand limited to 230 head, the
sheep might be kept on the tract quite
a while, but there Is no profit In running
little bunches of sheep In Oregon, unless
the owner has a good-sized farm In the
Willamette Valley and keeps a few sheep
on the side.
"In figuring on the amount of John
Day hill lands needed for a year's pastur
age. I find that 50 sections would be
necessary for 5000 sheep. Such a flock
would soon wear the grass off for a half
a mile from their camp, so that really
a whole section would be spoiled for
camping purposes alone.
"Neither could we apply Mr. Mlnto's
theories to catcbbaslns or artesian wells,
as our land Is of the light, ashy order,
that would drink up all the water we
tried to store. Artesian wells have been
proven Impracticable where the porous
basalt is the bedrock of the country.
Heppner's experlenco In the artesian-well
business furnishes ample proof of this.
"Although I have run shtep In Eastern
Oregon a good many years, I can con
ceive of no way to lease these lands sat
isfactorily to the majority of stockmen.
I consider It wise to leave well enough
alone, when sheep and cattle men respect
each other's rights. The leasing of three
sections to each party living contiguous,
as Mr. Mlnto suggests, would soon result
In one man monopolizing a large tract of
range, by a sub-lease system.
"Mr. Mlnto's fling at me In regard to
slaughtered sheep and perjured Jurors Is
all right. Wo John Day stockmen feel
a good deal like the Boers do In South
Africa, when It comes to being eaten
out of house and home by hordes of
tramp sheep from adjoining counties
every Summer. Wo think If those out
side sheepmen own our mountain ranges
that the only course left for us Is to
leave. Yet we do not feel like leaving.
We have built up snug dwellings and
cosy farms In the various valleys and
creek bottoms of the John Day, and these
will be of no use to us If tramp sheep
persist In turning our green hillsides Into
terraces of dusty trans, we nave no
Winter range on the John Day, and the
outsiders have no Summer range on the
prairies of Morrow. Crook. Gilliam. Wasco
and Wheeler Counties: so we have to feed
hay for months at a time. We have Just
as good a right to swarm down on their
Winter ranges and eat them out. as they
have to clean out our Summer range.
Long years of persecution by tramp stock
has embittered us on this question, and
we now propose to protect our pastures
and ranges. Just as Mr. Mlnto would do
If he was engaged In stockralslng on a
larger scale In. the John Day Valley. He
now confines himself to raising a few fine
blooded sheep on his Willamette Valley
farm. We could carry three times-the
amount of stock in Grant County that
we do at present. If theso bunchgrnss
sheep-owners would let us alone."

The practice of Western railroads to do

The action of the Canadian Pacific shows
a disposition to work more In harmony

satisfaction In this section, and removed

"Learn to laugh. A good laugh Is bet

through rate would have been made up of
a combination of all local rates. Shippers
of salmon and of Iron pipe would have
been directly affected by the proposed
change.
Telegraphic advices received here yes
terday from General Freight Agent Moore,
of the Northern Pacific, at St. Paul,
state that he Is advised that "the South
eastern llnefl have postponed cancellation
notice of rates and divisions to and from
Southeastern points."
This places the matter In statu quo. and
tho rates heretofore In existence will be
temporarily restored.

engine needs steam. "When a
