Mills Near Seaboard Freight Depot HELD IN MOCKERY "Kangaroo Courts" Instituted by Australian Convicts. PHsonar# at Botany Day Said to Have invented Idea to Rellavo the Mo notony of The.r Existence? Spread to United State*. KuftKnrtiQ court is an expression v M?h. Imuh.t strange It umy he u 'hw layman, Is familiar to iikmI United v Jtes marshals, post Ottlee Inspector ami Un.? polhre furies of large cities, remark# a witter In tlio Detroit News. What it really Vtftodtil for ll explained by a jM?st otllce inspector who has had much experience with offenders and < riinlnuls. It api>eara that in a number of the larger prisons in this country tho pris oners, from time to time, are aceus . tomed to hold what .they call kangaroo court, and that every notorious crim inal In tho United States Is probably not only lumlllai- with tho term, but has no doubt presided often enough as Judge or prosecuting attorney in lids relation, or perhaps has been tried for some of tho numerous mock charges that are preferred against those who have the misfortune to be haled before such a tribunal. Such a court Is held only In the great prlsoug of the country, being entirely unkuown lit the country Jail*. The institution of kangaroo court Seems to date back some 10 years In the United States. In the days when Australia was it penal colony the convict6 at Bbtauy Hay, by way of amusing themselves and relieving the monotony of prison. life, used to organise a sort of mock court at which the slnvwdest m>d oft en the worst criminals of the lot pre sided as Judge, while others ficted as Jurymen, prosecuting attorneys, bail iffs, criers and tho like. At such trials the prisoners were Wont to take on recent arrivals from England on all manner of mock charges, such as snoring too londly, washing their faces with soap, and so on. If it was found that among the batch of new-comers, convicts just from the old country, there were sev ' era! who possessed money, court was immediately convened and the ones suspected of having funds wen* haled up on the charge of having red hair or wearing box-toed shoes. The trial was held with mock gravi ty and decorum, and in the end the prisoner would be found guilty and tlned whatever amount he was known to have on his pcrsou for tlje offense charged. Tho money thus obtained would be divided among the old, long term convicts, who would buy tobacco and other luxuries with it, while the victim of this form of extortion would have no recourse except to await the time when he himself got a change "to preside as Judge or sit 011 the Jury at the trial .of some new arrival. It was culled kangaroo court because in those days the Botany Hay convicts spoke of themselves as kangaroos, an animal very abundant, as everybody knows, in Australia. Tho institution, as well as the term, traveled from Australia to England, whither It was brought by returning Botany Bay convicts, whose terms had expired. It had a short life In Eng land, however, where it was s|K?edlly discovered by tho Jailers and turnkeys and broken up; but It was not long afterward that it found Its way.Into the prisons of the United States, where it has remained ever since. Girl Advertises for "Dates." An advertisement which, the adver tising department of Columbia unlver site's daily newspaper, Kj*eet?tor, says is the legtlmate appeal of a young woman, appeared recently in the pub lication as follows: "Are you bound by convention? A Columbia girl from out of town, cul tured, well bred and fairly good look ing, wishes to make the acquaintance of Severn 1 men in order to be intro duced at Columbia functions. She is entirely unconventional and is willing to meet the men half way by paying all '^expenses. Strictly confidential. Address H 30, Spectator." The students who publish Spectator, the New York World says, profess ig norance of the identity of the young woman or whether the number 30 had any reference to the age or figure of the advertiser. Hundreds of masculine students are awaiting replies from her. the adver tisement having been well answered. First Sight of a Pig. Along the hard, dry, wind-swept road in a suburb came a drove of pigs?a most unusual spectacle in London of recent years. From the by-streets the children of the poor came hurrying to *ee, and it ua.s clear from their, com ments that many of them had never seen a pig before.
