board of managers for tie female prison

by the Chambers Of the countries con-

pronounced by q majority of 35l votes

was originally settled by the French in

Swedes in 1884. 1t Is about eight miles
long, and varies from two to three in
breadth, its area being about twenty
five square miles. The population 1t the
