Stamp-"And Ye Shall Sing New Song"
-TO-day's Exercises.
The railway mail service excursionists
visited Ft- Smelling on Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul special train of seven cars
yesterday morning and spent short time
thereat, the rain preventing any demon
strations there and even forbidding their
having an opportunity of taking in the
picturesque wildness of the scenery at this
spot with any degree of satisfaction.
Being unable to apropitiate the clerk of
the weather to even temporary cessation
of dampening hostiities they returned 10
St. Paul for dinner and promptly took
special train on the st. Paul & Duluth
road to Saltwater, whore they were met
By the city authorities and promptly
committed to the care of the state prison
authorities, who gave them the run of the
prison proper, the Jail yard and the vast
workshops of the Seymour, Sabin & Co.
Manufacturing Co., who have in their en-
ploy 400 prisoners under contract from
the state at forty-fve cents per day and
800 regular workmen.
In their rounds they met with the most
courteous civilities from the warden and
assistants and from the proprietors of this
busy hive of industry in which different
branches of manufacture in iron and wood
are carried on in a massive scale and in
great variety. The prison was found to
be q model in neatness and discipline, ard
all business moving forward with the reg
alarity of clock work. Many Of the party
also visited the extensive wsrks of the C..
\. Nelson LAUNDERING company, in close
proximity to the prison, and witnessed
she logs hauled frsm the RATS, conveyed
to tho saws and turned into lumber,
shingles and lsth and loaded on the cars
in pretty near the twlnkling Of an eye. =
To say that this celebrity was an aston
Usher to she whole party does not cover the
ground, and the remark of Mayor Stock
bridge that one such establishment in New
England would render it treeless in one
year, showed the interest with which this
establishment was regarded.
It having been announced that on account
of the storm, that the banquet which had
been prepared to be spread on the
spacious and beautiful grounds of Senator
Sabin, would be laid in the large drawing
room of the prison, the visitors spent the
later hours of the afternoon in visiting
Cole and James Younger, who were indis
posed and sitting in their cells, land in gaz.
ing at "Baby" Bob Younger at his work; in
social converse with the officers OF the
prison and prominent citizens, and among
themselves, and in singing, there proving
to be some very fine voices of both sexes
in the party.
THE BANQUET.
The tables being in readiness, Supt.
Bosworth, as master of ceremonies, sat
the Saltwater notables, the officers and ex-
officers of the association, and many of the
ladies and members from abroad at the
first table; and the balance of the guests
at tho second and third tables, the sixth
division sitting down to the last, as on
account of sparity of room the tables had
TO be reset three several times after the
first spread.
The entire banquet and appurteuances
brought TO the prison from the resi-
dence of Senator Sabin, was Of the finest
quality, of charming variety and abund-
ance and drew from all the warmest enco-
miums of praise. It was served by the
prisoners as walters in their unique dress
and in such perfect manner as to set
pattern for this service at many of the
most frequented watering places in the
land.
There was no opportunity for any table
intellectual dessert and the only thing
bordering on this was three cheers given
for Senator Sabin who recognized the
same with graceful obesiance to his
guests and by stating that from the i'm
pressions tnat day formed by him of the
rail way mail service of the United States
that he should hereafter advocate Shorter
runs and more pay for the work."
Cheers and tigers were then given to
Superintendent Bosworth and Captain
Bean who we're simply indefatigable and
omnipresent in the pursuance of the OBJ
ject of leaving not one thing undone to
conduce to the comfort and happiness of
he party, and who ''turned Jack" every
time.
THE DEPARTURE.
At 6:30 p. NJ, both gentlemen and
ladies assembled in front of the prison of
fees, gave three rousing cheers for May
or Mathews, of Saltwater, and took to the
train drawn up few rods distance to re-
ceive them.
Owing to few minutes waiting for a
few tardy ones the special lost its right
of way and was detained half bour near
the depot, bat 80 happy were the e1
cursionists that tho delay was not even
more than casually noticed.

ing been discharged from their duties at
