Our Penal Institution.

Mr.. G. L. McCleery, the Journal corresron
dent writes that paper that a recent visit TO
the State Prison at Thomaston shows general
state of prosperity, if such it may be called, at
that institution Various improvements have
been made in the kitchen OF the prison and
about the cells, promotive of economy and
cheerfulness The stock OF Carriages has about
two-thirds disappeared from the storehouses
and few Of the convicts have commenced
the manufacture Of sleigh bodies. Carriage
making will, however, continue for couple
OF months longer. after which the whole force
will be pat upon the manufacture of sleighs
for the winter market. The harness manu.
featuring department is having all it can do,
and the Warden informed US that such is the
present demand for harnesses that it would be
at least thirty days before any new orders
could be commenced upon. All the work is
done by hand and guaranteed first class.
At the Reform School at present there are
10 boys under restraint, none OF whom will
compare nnfsvorably in appearance with these
seen every day upon the streets of this city.
Each lad has to devote six hours each day to
work and four hours in the second room. The
Reform School buildings are in excellent cor
dtion. aud when the proposed changes are
made for the introduction of other mechanical
work than the bottoming Of chairs the rooms
will be fully occupied. A glance at the farm
showed field Of grain already about three
inches in height, an acrs OF awberry plants
we'll advanced, and general vegetables ready
for transportation in the hot beds. The amount
Of stock kept upon the farm has very largely
increased aud its quality has bet greatly i'm
proved siuee Mr.. Harrington was appointed
Superintendent.

CAPE ELIZABETH.
Another Robbery-This Time in Broad
Daylight.

The house OF Mrs. d W. Kincaid, situated
about a quarter Of mile from the post office,
on Sawyer street, Ferry Village, was entered
Wednesday afternoon and a pocket book con-
tanning $3.50 stolen, Mrs. Kincaid and her
daughter occupy TIE upper part ol the house
and Mr.. Amos Jewett the lower half. The
only time in the afternoon that both families
were away from the house was between half
past and o'clock, at which time the robbery
must have been committed. sum OF money
for deposit in the bank was taken from the
pocket book in the early part OF the afternoon
and the amount mentioned was left in II. No
clue to the thief has been obtained yet and the
whole affair is as mysterious as the numerous
robberies In the past few weeks have been.
A move is being made 10 raise reward TO
offer for the detection Of the robbie who en-
tered Wm Plaisted's house last week. The
selectmen of the town,itis said ,olaim that they
have no right TO offer a reward, and SO nothing
has been done, although every few days some
new rascality turns up. Suspicious characters
have been seen In several places, but they
seem to roam about perfectly free from danger,
so far as the town authorities are concerned.
Only a few nights ago u man was seen at the
house of Mr.. Daniel pillsbury at Point Village
by gentleman who was returning home late
at night. Surprising him to be a fisherman the
gentleman spoke 10 him but the man hurried
off up the street without answering. No doubt
he was trying to effect an entrance into the
house of Mr.. Pillsbury

Our Democratic Enforcement OF the
Liquor Law.

Our Oemocfatlc enforcement or the
Liquor Law
To the Editor Of the Press.
II appears to me that latterly we have had
an unusual nnmher OF drunken and semi drunk
en- men on our streets. The question may just
ly be asked Are those whose business IL is 10
see the law against the liquor traffic enforced
doing their duty? Some say "We don't ex-
pee: TO see the law enforced now" WhJ7
Are not the citizens as well entitled TO walk
the streets without being jostIed, and disgusted
by drunken men under the rule of Democrat
ic Mayor, andsa City Marshal Of like politi-
cal type, as under the suveliance OF Republi-
can officials? Yes but, can we expect Mayor
TO face the men VINO gave him his position,
and demand chat their trade be destroyed, and
their money expended in paying finest Can
We expect a man who endeavored to carry
through the board OF aldermen vote OF CEN
sure on the late City Marshall for breaking in
q ramseler's door, in order to seizs liquor, 10
do anything of that kind himself, or permit it
TO be done? OF course not, lie would probably
instruct the present Incumbent 10 go with hat
in hand and say, Now sir, or gentlemen, as
the Case may be. sm going TO search for in
toxicaiing drink, am the City Marshal, and at
your con-enience, should be pleased TO step 10
ard perform the delicate and unpleasant duty
Of executing a warrant which a fanatical tenn
persnce man has placed in my hand, and as
soon as you deem il prudent aud gentlemanly
for me TO enter, 1 shall do so."
Probably tho manner OF doing his duty, as
above indicated under the direction Of his
worthy Democratic chief accounts fer the fast
that not single seizure has been made by Mr..
Andrews, thai | know OF, since he was ap-
pOintej.
Would the Mayor parley In this way with a
burglar What is the rumseller doing? Steal
ing the bread Of some poor heartbroken wife
and her children.

manty who has lost control Of appetite and
