A PLEA FOR CnARIrY.-our attention
has been called TO the fact that large
number Of the prisoners at the city
workhouse are almost barefooted, and up
on this account are unableto work in cold
or stormy weather. These men are not
all tramps; large majority Of them have
been convicted in the police court OF pet
ty offences, and are now trying to work
out their fines. 1t has been suggested
that the members Of the. Young Mems
Christian Association, whogenerally take
the lead in such matters, set a good exam
pie by donating their cast-oH' boots and
shoes to the city prisoners. The men have
really suffered for lack Of proper protec.
ton for their feet, and We trust that the
good people Of the city will prevent 1t in
the future by promptly sending TO the
Superintendent, Mr.: Sylvis, a supply OF
secondhand boots and shoes.
