A report has been published show
ing the number of accidents to riders
and pedestrians in the streets of Paris
last year. The number of persons
killed during the twelve months was
lob, and of wounded 1854. These
figures include only those persons who
were SO seriously injured as to need
the assistance of the police. The
frequency of accidents of this kind is
attributed to the excessive number Of
vehicles. 1t is calculated that there
are %, $50 cabs and omnibusses plying
daily in the streets of Paris.

During the late meeting of the state
Board of Supervision at Madison,
questions were asked concerning the
letting of prison labor, whether it was
profitable to the State and to what ex-
tent, to which the president Of the
Board, Col. Burchard, in conversation
with the Madison State Journal rep
resentative, said that not long since
an article appeared in the late Mil
waukee Sentinel in which the statement
was made that no benefit accrued to
the state of Wisconsin from allowing
Chicago or foreign firms the privilege
of controlling the labor of the state
prison. Mr.. Burchard then went on
to say in what manner Wisconsin had
been benefited by the boot and shoe
firm of NJ. D. Wells & Co., Of Chica-
60, having control of the prison labor
Tor the past live years. This tlrm pad
to the state, in the first place. from
$4,000 to $1,000 for the labor of
convicts; it paid out as much more to
practical shoe-makers. overseers and
instructors, who were imported to Wa
pun to aid in the manufacture of boots
and shoes and to give instructions to
the prisoners; and last, it purchased
annually of Wis dealers thousands of
dollars worth of leather This, Mr..
Burchard thought, showed that great
benefits had ACQUIRED to Wisconsin from
the Chicago firm having control of the
prison labor, and effectUally refuted
the Sentinel article.
