RECLAIMING YOUTH. "Work of (he Board of Prison Di rectors of California. Reran of President B. T. Devlin on Various Heformatcry acd Penal Institution! of the United States. , The report el Robert T. Devlin, Presi dent of the State Hoard of Prison Direct ors of California, on the various reforma tory and penal institutions of the United .~- i-i'.cs ha? just been issued from the State ! office -at Sacramento. Mr. Devlin was au thorized by the State Board to collect the material for his report for the purpose of maturing the system of government, in .. junction and discipline of the Preston School of Industry, to be located at or near lone, Amador County; to visit similar In stitutions in practical operation and of the best repute, and, by personal inspection • and investigation, to acquire an insigtitinto the principles and workings thereof for the information and benefit of the boar 1 !. IXSTITITIOXS VISITED. In pursuance of the object in view, Mr. Devlin visited and carefully examined the •.^t-nient of the Connecticut State Ke form School, at Meriden; Boys' lndustrial .-'■ School of Ohio, at Lancaster; Illinois State — lieform School, atl'outiac; State Industrial School for Juvenile Offenders oi Nebraska, at Kearney; House of Kef nee, at Phila -0 ,; hia; liouse of Correction, at Chicago; Pennsylvania Reform School, at Morciiuza; ■■ "Xyniau School for Boys, at Westborough, Jlass. , Inform School of the District of Columbia,' at Washington ; Indiana Reform Scliool for Boys, at Plalnfield; Pennsyl vania Industrial .Reformatory, at llunting ton; Cincinnati House of Kef uge; Illinois State Penitentiary, at Jollet: Massachusetts State Prison, at Cliarlestown; Western ' Penitentiary of Pennsylvania, at Alle gheny; Ohio Penitentiary, at Columbus; New ill; State Reformatory, at Klmira; State Penitentiary for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia; Indiana Reformatory Institution for Women and Girls, at Indianapolis; Minnesota State Reform School, at St Paul; City Prison or "Ton bs" of New York ; Black wells Island Penitentiary and institutions for the care of the insane. THE OBJECT IX VIEW. . Having marked out a plan of procedure Mr. Devlin left no stone unturned to obtain any aud all iulormalion possible from such persons as he could meet as had given par ticular attention to reformatory institu tion^ and in tin: arrangement of his matter be divided his work under three distinct heads, to Wit: reform or industrial schools, reformatories or intermediate prisons and State prisons. The objects to De attained are: (1) 1 tie organization and maintenance of a school of industry in which instruction si.ail be imparted by a course of study simi tar to that prescribed in grammar schools, and to teach such industries as shall qualify tie inmates for honorable nad profitable employment. Boys between 8 and IS years rf age will be admitted. They will be clothed in uniform, but not in convict dress or stripes. The rules aud regulations will be such as will stimulate a boy to obtain an honorable discharge. (-) The establishment of reformatories or intermediate urisens ■where criminals under a certain age may be received, and, by a system of labor, edu cation and discipline, seek to secure their reformation, so that when they have earned their discharge they may enter the world ' again prepared to withstand its tempta tions and to follow some legitimate kind of labor, and i : 0 To study the management and discipline of the State prisons and penitentiaries with a view to suggesting to the board any improvements that might be advantageously introduced iuto the prisons of this Mate. A MATTEU OF DISCIPLINE. A careful examination of all the Indus trial .Schools visited showed that the great I defect in the institutions managed on the . congregate plan was that they lacked the influence of family life, and therefore the "cottaga plan," where the inmates are divided into classes, according to size an I form, aud from twenty-live to fifty placed in a cottage, has been recommended, and in some instances adopted. Bales are made reducing, for good co: duct, the time lor ■which, a boy is committed, and the board ' may, at it. ! discretion, give «Jwy an honor able dismissal if they consider that he is . sufficiently reformed to justify the reward. Or, a worthy boy may lie paroled, aud bound . by articles of indenture to some responsi ble person who will educate him and have • him instructed in some useful art or trade. If a boy is incorrigible he may be re tuiiel to the court aud a more severe ,-i'i.tenco in posed. A boy in any . State Prison, undergoing sentence for less than life, can, upon a proper showing of good conduct, be- transferred to the Indus trial School. According to the report, the Boys' Industrial School of Ohio classifies Inmates, according to the offense, into three grade-. tor certain offenses included In the first grade, upon entering he is debited with 7000 demerit*, for the second grade with 6000, aud for the third grade with 5000 demerits. Fir good deportment the boy is credited with ten merits a day, and if he ha? a perfect record for three successive months he receives 300 merits extra. If he gives information of an intended escape, :ind it proves correct, he receives 300 merits. When all of the demerits have been can celed he is entitled to leave of absence for fcur months, and if he continues to behave properly he can have his " leave-of-ab sence " card renewed every four month; un til he is of age, but if he should misbehave himself he is returned to the institution and charged 1000 demerit marks in addition to the number originally debited against him. The discipline is that of the family, school, workshop and farm, aud the boy has every inducement and encouragement to reform thrown around and about him. TUE COTTAGE BY6TEIL A synoisis of each school's plan of op f eration would be entirely too lengthy for a ■ review of Mr. Devlin's work, but it may be said that in the reforming of wayward youth, the cottage system where the family plan has been adopted has proved the most efficacious. One idea is to impress upon the minds of the inmates that they are not felons, outcasts, or inmates of a prison, but that they are members of a - family. Each family is under the super . ■'. vi-h.ii of three persons — man and his wife who teside with the family, and a lady . teacher, who also resides in the same build ing. The inmates sleep in single beds, which are always kept clean. The food is •] of excellent quality, prepared in the best manner. The tables are clean and inviting. . Each inmate has two suits of clothes, one for week days and another for Sunday. ' . Every Sabbatn afternoon the pulpit is filled by a minister from some church, the Catholic inmates being under the in . struction cf the Sisters of Mercy. ■ Corporal punishment is a last resort .-• only, and then no blow is allowed ■ • above the hips. Friends can visit . the inmates, and they can write letter?. '•. The use ot tobacco and spirituous liquors iv strictly prohibited. Bathing and clean liness is obligatory. In the House of J'rf- Uge, Philadelphia, the time allowed fir work, play, meals, attending school, laid re tiring lor sleep, and which may be laid down as a criterion, is divided into periods as follows: From April Ist to November Ist, seven months: school, 3 hours: wore, 7 hours; meals, V&. hours; devotions, 30 ■ minutes; play, - ? hours; sleep, 9% hours. From November Ist to April Ist, five months: school, 3 hours; work, ii hours; 'meals, 1% hours; devotions, 30 minutes; play, 3J4 hours; sleep, 9% hours. Each period is denoted by the ringing of a bell. .I:t Concluding this portion of his report Mr. Devlin says that the success of the school will depend on the Superintendent An in 7 • stttution, well conducted, will run itself. The Superintendent must be a person who knows what is necessary in the manage ment; who will select proper subordinates to attend to the details, and gently, but firmly and unmercifully, correct any devia ■ tion from the straight line of duty. To linn, in a great measure, must be left tbo question of what trades must be taught, and in this regard Mr. Devlin recommends such trades as require little or no machinery for their practice, so that an inmate can, on Ills discharge, earn a living by his hands without the aid of costly tools. KEFCBMATOItIES. Mr. Devlin's report of bis visits to the various reformatories or intermediate prisons, to be fully appreciated, must be read in detail. This class of insti tution is for the reception of persons com mitted under what is called "the uudeter ininate sentence." This applies to any male criminal between the ages of 15 and 25 years convicted of an offense punishable by iiiiM'isoiiineut in the State Prison and who ' is Dot known to have been sentenced pre viously to any State prison. In a case of tin.- kind the court dues nut fix any limit in . passing sentence. in the Elmira lieforiua tory a ledger is kept In which a page or I ages is devoted to the case of each pris oner. The questions are: Who was your father? who your mother? who were your , grandparents'; 1 where were you born? had you any home life? how lone did you stay at home? had yuu any education? and uny other questions of the ancestry of the boy as showing the tendency of the man. Then follows the physical examination, to see if there is any fineness In the quality of the man's flesh or is he coarse in his physical liber. Next, his mental qualities. W hat intellect has he? what quickness? what solidity? has he any training? is he bright or dull? Then follows a thorough diag nosis of his past life relating not to crime, but to bis capacity for good. This exami nation determines the sort of treatment that is best for him. lie is washed, clad and made lit for association in a decent prison. CI.ASSIFVIXO. In the reformatory there are three grade?— first, intermediate and third. The liew-comergoes into the second grade and he works up or down. according to behavior. When he is put iv tlie second grade he is told the maximum length of liis sentence. Ho is informed as to the rules and what he has to do to free himself from the institution. In tho secoud grade, in which hois lirst put. his dress is very much like that ot any cit izen, being of brown color, with a Scotch cap. If bis conduct is good he is advanced to the lirst grade, with a blue uniform and a soldier's cap. If, by bad conduct, he goes backward, he is clothed in a red gar ment, in which he resembles the crimiual that he is. The lirst-crademen occupy bet ter cells aud have better fare. They dine together, as at a hotel— eight or ten at a table. They walk four abreast in honora ble rank-, and are officered by men chosen from their own gr,ade. These latter, the second-grade men, take their meals iv their cells and march in ranks of two. The third-grade men march in thfi prison lock- SttfD and take their meals in their cells which are not so comfortable as the other cells. Auy nttcrlv incorrigible prisoner may be transferred from ihe reformatory to State Prison. F.aeh prisoner is credited for cood per demeanor, diligence in labor and study, and for all results accomplished, aud is debited for all derelictions, negligences and offenses. An abstract ol the record of each prisoner is presented to the board at a regular meeting, and if, niter a proper pres entation he he deemed reliable and worthy, and may with safety be liberated, the facts are presented to the Jud^e of the court that pronounced sentence, who if ho Bees, after consulting with the District Attorney, no further reasou for the detention of the prisoner, sends an order for his discharge. reed Idleness, owing to the opera tions of certain laws iv seme States, pro dmcd bad results, aud in order to overcome the effects the prisoners were formed into military companies and drilled in military tactics. This was found to be so advan tageous that this feature has been pre served, after the necessity for it passed away. The convicts are armed with v guns and march to the music of a brass band. They drill and march with the utmost precision, and it is claimed that the practice of military tactics exercises an Important influence iv the work of refor mation. FKMAI.E OFFBNDEBS. Before closing this portion of ihe report, which thus far has been confined to males, Mr. Devlin's report of his visit to the In diana Reformatory Institnti v It Women aud G.ns will be found interestinx- The Institution is ul Indianapolis, and is under the supervision ot h Board ol iSlauiiKers, consisting of three lauies. There are two departments — the penal and the reforma tory. Financially it is not a success, as last year its cost for maintenance v\as 528.241 44, and the institution earned 54011 IK). The reformatory, department was created for the purpose of assuming Charge oi girls under IS years of age, who might be sent to it by parents, guardians or courts and who required the restraints, discipline and guardianship of a school of this character. The period of detention is from one to three years, and the aim of each department is to teach each girl some industrial employment, such as cauc-seat iiiji, paiuting, whitewashing, uiain and fancy sewing, cutting, titling and draping. Every girl is allowed to tell her own story in her own behalf. The punish ments ure mild. During last year forty four jj.ri^ were received, thirty were dis cbarged, being of age, eighteen were out vii tii-ket-of-leave when Air. Devlin wns there and were giving ordinary satisfac tion, and ten hnd bce-n returned for various reasons, some doing urong in order that they might be sent back. MAM. PRISONS. With the report of the Mate prisons it is not ueces.-ary to gu iuto such detail, as the main object i f Mr. Devlin's investigations was to aa ertain matters most advantageous to the proper management of a school of Industry. His report covers the buildings inside and outside, the character of the prisoners, the discipline, their wort, tood and daily iile, nnd every Diinutla connected with tiie management ii t c c Institutions. It is understood that tiie«e prisons are in tended for hardened criminals and that, a* a rule, the occupants oi the eels are of this ■- But even here lhr> system of rewards and punishments i« In force, and tlie tieat iiient of a prisoner aud his commutation depends entirely up o himself. The pii— oners are graded, taught trades, and good behavior entitles them to certain prn i If his conduct has lieen irreproachable dur ing the continuance of his sentence Uo per cent of his earnings is allowed bin:, but at l»ast one-fMiith of this is retained for him and given him upon hu restoration to liberty. It is a creditable report that in many of the prisons the earnings are greater than the prison expenses. In some prisi BS the contract system prevails, the prisoners being leased or farmed out to contractors. In concluding his report Mr. Devlin says: "1 have endeavored to convey a practical idea of the manner in which the but managed reform schools ;.re conducted, and hope that the information submitted will be of service to the board. I have re fraiued from any remarks on abstract questions, dealing only with the practical side of the management of these Institu tions. The portion of this report devoted to prisons has been made longer than perhaps was necessary, bin it was deemed best to present .-one., hat full}' what I had gleaned ou this subject, in the hove that it would prove uot unprofitable in the super intendence of the institutions of which the board have charge. 1 was received with unilorm kindness and courtesy by all whom I met, and desire to thank them sue and all for the assistance they rendered." ELECIKICAL SOCIETY. They Are to Pureliaoe a New Laboratory anil 1. 1 i.r-i . The senii-montlily meeting ol the Cali fornia Electrical Society was held last even ing at the society's rooms in the Murphy Building on Marke. street. Professor N. S. Keith called the meeting to order and Secretary \V. F. White reported that twelve volumes of electrical works had been pre sented to the society by O. lirooks; also a work on magnetism, published in 1629, by W. S. Brown. For this contribution filr. lirown was tendered a vote of thanks and elected a member of the society for one year with initiation fees and dues remitted. President Keith informed the members that a library and laboratory would he necessary to an intelligent prosecution of the work emmneneed, and that he would solicit contributions for this purpose among those who would be willing to render the society some assistance, He thought that at least £15") should be expended on stand ard works lor the use of the members, and that he could easily raise that amount. Mr. Hamlin interested the members with facts gleaned from bis extensive experience in the lichtuiii|.'-rod business, and told of cases when- death bad been caused by elec trical current* under peculiar circum stances. W. S. Quimby also talked on this subject, and on the feasibility of the application ol electricity to labor-saving machinery. Academy «»f ScinnceH. A meeting of the California Academy of Sciences was held last evening at the hall, comer of California and Dupont streets, Preside nt: ll \V. HtrkoeM in the chair. The Librarian reported an addition to the library of 127 volumes— 2 by donation, 12 by purchase and 113 frmn correspondents. Thomas C. Johnson, through Captain J. E. Thayer, preseuted the academy with five cases of coral. The names of three gentle men were offered for niembrr<ihi|>, but owing to a lack of the accessary quorum they could not be elected. I'rofessor 11. Carrington Bolton of the American Association fur the. Advancement of Science made a brief address to those assembled, and said that he hoped that in Ib'jj the meeting of the association would be held in this city.

At the meeting of the City Council last eveuiup, a resolution was adopted author izing John L. lirouiley, J. is. White and J. X Brett, Commissioners for Filbert-street opening, to take action to condemn the land between Twenty-first and Twenty fourth streets, and between Twenty-sixth and Twenty-eighth streets, as provided by law, because Edward Gill has refused to accept, within the time allowed by law, the warrant for value of land and improve ments drawn in his favor. The Board of Public Works was also requested by resolu tion to remove all obstructions on the line of Filbert street, between the points named, and authorized to employ such laborers as necessary. The Consolidated Piedmont Cable Company was granted permission to sewer, grade and macadamize Eighth street, between Washington and Clay streets, at its own expense.

"tickle" fhaxke's litigation. Judge Ellswottb yesterday morning mod ified the older granting Wilhelmina Franke alimony ana vacated the provision giving her alimony. Some time ago the Judge de clared the marriage between tho parties null and void. The young woman's name ivas Hi uher, and she first brought suit for $50,000 damages for seduction against Franke, known as "Pickle Franks/* be cause he has a large pickle factory. Fruuke compromised the suit by marrying the girl, but on the birth nf the child, a few months after the marriage, she went to her father, alleging cruel treatment. Franke sued to annul the marriage on the ground of want of chastity before marriage. An answer and cross-complaint for divorce were tiled by Wilhelininn, and on this alimony was ordered, but the suit of Franke annuliug the marriage was afterward decided In his favor, and the alimony order was over looked. The case will probably go to the Supreme Court on the denial of a motion fur a new trial, for it is likely that one will not be granted. J. M. Shannon has applied for special let ters of administration ol the estate of life late P. D. Wigginttm. This application is made because there are crops of grain In Fresno and Tulare belonging to the estate, and these need attention. Mr. Shannon make application at the request of Mrs. \\ igginton.

An adjourned meeting of the County Board ol Supervisors was held yesterday, and the name of the Wilson School District whs changed to Mocho, on the petition of resident! of the district. A number of petitions for liquor licenses were read and referred to the Judiciary Committee. The committee reported adversely to the grant- Ins of ■ license to Frederick Ohe, on the old county road and Lawrence street, and the committee's report was adopted. The place has an unsavory reputation, and the application was illegal, not having the right kind of ludorsers under the ordinance. Mrs. Kate Munroe, after living with her husband, P. S. Munroe, for a great many years, has brought a suit to secure a divorce. It is said the issue of the union was seven teen children, twelve of whom ore now liv ing in Oakland.

Two candidates are announced for State Senator from this district on the Republi can side of the house. They are Columbus Uartlett and Dr. William Simpson. . The railroad company has four men, two on each broad-gauge local train, employed in enumerating the paying passengers or those who ride '; beyond the local sta tions. The enumerators accompany the conductor as he goes through the cars col lecting fares, and they note down nil who present them. _> ■ It is now almost an assured fact that K. (iillis, the contractor, has left town. He has not been - seen since last Saturday. Gillis had the contract for nineteen houses, ail in * course of erection in Alainedii, ex cept one, which is; located in San Fran cisco, and | the aseregaie cost of the build iDgs will reach $30,000. He owes his car -1 pen lei s in Alameda one week's wages and those in San Francisco two weeks' wages, lie had more contracts than any other builder in Alnuiedrt. Before coniiug to Ala meda he was a building contractor in Los Angeles, and it is said that he left that city between two days, with numerous creditors to mourn his sudden departure. All the Ci'y Trustees were present at the meeting lasi evening, E, ii. Mastick pre siding. The protest against the laying ol a sewer in Pacific avenue, from Davenport to Kellogg streets, was overruled, and tlie protest against the grading and macada mizing of Oak street, south of Cliuton avenue, was sustained. Ouly one bid was received for the erection of the new school building at the corner of Bay street aud Santa Clara avenue, and an extension of another week in which to receive proposals was allowed. The matter of granting a franchise for the operation of an incan descent electric light plant was briefly dis cussed, and the granting of it wns opposed by Trustee Volberg. Action was postponed uutil next Thursday evening. Action on several applications for liquor licenses was also postponed until that evenine. A com munication was received from Henry Mohns calling attention to the necessity of having automatic danger bells placed at the Sherman-street curve on the narrow-gauge road. The matter was referred to Mr. Mastic to confer with the railroad authori- ties. A young Greek named Peter Farmaker keeps a peanut-stand on Park street, near the narrow-gauge road, nnd is somewhat good-looking, lie seems to fully appreciate this fact and thinks that ho is au object ol sdmirution by the fair sex of Aluuicda. His conceit has made him quito bold, aud frequently when a handsonio young woman would pass his stand he would endeavor to catch her eye and would accost her by say ing •'Hello, pretty." Tho Apidlo-like pea nut-vender said this once too often for his own good. Last evening the brother of a young lady whom he thus insulted ap proached the Greek and asked htm what he nieuut by acting iv such a familiar manner with young hiuies. He gave no satisfactory answer, aud the young man dealt Farma ker a vigorous blow iv the face, causing the blood to spurt from his nose. The Greek is almost twice tho size of his assailaut, but the blow was so sudden tiial he could uot defeud himself Irom a severe drubbing winch he received. Tlie young mau was complimented by many for his action. limkeluy. A Republican club will be organized in this end of town this week.

Quite a large number of Methodist min isters assembled yesterday morning in weekly session iv the parlors tl Central M. K. Churcrj. liev. D. Siuionds read a paper on "The Methodist Doctrine of the Trinity." lie attacked the doctrine wilb much determi nation. He said that wisdom, love and power were personified in the names Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Christian baptism is iv the nume of Jesus Christ alone. The use of the three names would be polytheism. Some clergymen make three applications of water— which is not Christian baptism. The great reforniatiou of the age is iv theology. There is a special demand for preaching the one God, Jesus Christ. Some people pray to the Father iv the name of Jesus Christ, but Jesus is "the name high over till, in hell, or earth, or sky" — the one object of worship iv heaven, and should be on earth. To siiritk ot three persons creates contusion, it is not mys tery, but absurdity. If the Father aud lloly Ghost aro persons in the same sense a.-. Jesus, then there are three Gods. Dr. Daniel Dorchester, Superintendent of ludkiu Schools in the United Siates, was introduced, ile gave a full account of his visits lo the various schools, winch he thinks are improving aud show flattering results.

This instruction is only to be furnished by private schools. The main suggestion of the paper was that tho ii.ip lisl denomination give indorsement and practical help to individuals who are will ing to undertake this academic Work as a private enterprise; that tuition be such as to sustain these schools without endow ment; further, that they be established as a system of feeders to California colleges.

Muster nnd Inspection of the First In— f.iutrj. The First Infantry Keuirnent, Second Brigade, N, (J. C, was assembled last even ing in obedience to crders for the annual muster ana inspection required by M>w, Adjutant-General Orton being also present to witness the mnttaz by the Inspector, as sisted by the stnfl officer* of tho brigade. Numerically the battalion made a good snowing, and Colonel John H. Dickinson was more than pleased ftilb the result and proud of his beys. \\ hile the ligures nre not at hnnd at present, it is understood that tlie regimental Verceutage will he highly satisfactory, all the companies having shown up nearly their full membership. There was espec ially much friendly rivalry between Com panies C and G (.Nationals), which are nu merically not only the strongest in the brigade, but also in the State of California. Company C, with a bona lide membership of SB, mustered 86 present (blj.Sii ier ceut), and Company G, with a roll of 84, had 80 present (99.23 per cent.) The great surprise of the evening, however, was the presence of every member of the lield and staff. The baud also mustered 100 per cent. Tho \U i/. ul" luspector and his assistants nre deserving also of all credit, for tlie In spection, was commenced on time, conducted in a military fashion and intelligently con tinued to its close, iv much shorter time than in the past. In the armory on Post street, the muster and inspection lasted about one hour and twenty minutes for each company, on account of the greater number of men, nnd u'vd minutes hud not elapsed after the close when the inspecting (.tlicers from tho regimental armory ap pealed. >io inspection could have been conducted more laitlifully or with more In telligent observance of nil the forms of the caramon; than was by Major Kellogg, 1. K. P., aud Captain Duboce, A. 1). C. There was no such exhibition as one cer tain inspection held lust week, when the mustering ollicrr appeared in full-dress uniform, but with a faligut) cap on. Theru whs no such ill-limed assumption of authority as to take tbe commanding officer aside in a corner and give him instructions how the company should fall in, even as re gards the injunction "in two lines" for "in two ranks," and other matters fully cov ered by tlie tactics, and with which, in the lirst place, the inspecting officer has no more to do than ho has to assume commaud of the company which be has beeu detailed to muster and inspect only. Officer Dower I >.sn. i.-.-.1. At a meeting of the Police Commission ers, held last night, the charge of unoliicer like conduct against Police Officer Michael Dower, of Captain Short's division, was considered, aud resulted in a dismissal of tho accused from the force. Dower, it ap peared from the testimony, while on duty entered a private house on his beat iv a drunken condition and acted in an out rageous manner. Mrs. Dower appeared at the meeting of the Commissioners, and the ease of the accused was presented by Peter V. Dunne; but after a long executive ses sion the i board ordered the dismissal of Dower. The officer has been on the force several years. • ■ • . Alm emu of the Times. George Kiyo was arrested yesterday for passing an advertisement printed in imita tion of a $5 greenback upon a Chinese.
