behaved are allowed to go ont and work
in the city as teamsters, laborers, etc.
They are perfectly free, and are not un-
der any supervision by guards. OF
course at night they have to return to
the penitentiary. While in the city they
are not allowed to enter any stores or
saloons; if this regulation is infringed,
they are immediately confined to the
prison. Attempts at escape while thus
working from all surveillance have been
very rare, for. should they be recaptured

Gilmore and his American band are
having an unquestionable success, ac-
cording to a cable dispatch from Paris
to the New York Herald. A long arti-
Gle appeared in the anti-American
GGulOis criticising Gilmore's first con-
cert at the Trocadero, and therein eulo-
giving highly the conscientiousness and
precision of the instrumentalists and the
excellence of the soloists. The band
played in an intermede at the Theatre
BouffJ on the same evening. Figaro
says that the performance was remark
able for eJtrGin and precision, and that
it created great enthusiasm among the
audience. The Paris Journal confirms
this appreciation and says their success
was immense.
But few years since Isaacs Fried
lander was called the Grain King of
California. He controlled grain feet
of 800 OF 400 sailing vessels, while his
operations involved the use of $40, ,000,-
600 capital. His name was potent in
the grain districts of the Pacific slope,
in the corn exchange of San Francisco,
while even Mark Lane was anxious to
concilliate so powerful an element i'll
the price of breadstuffs. Two years
ago he failed in his gigantic undertak-
ings, and his name was no longer in
peoples mouths. Recently he died, and
a two-line telegram was considered suffi-
cient to announce the demise of the
great Grain King, showing the way hard
times boil down obituaries.
